Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 746 - 720: Poisoned

Half a day had passed, and the two had ventured deep into the forest, over a hundred miles in. The trees here reached to the heavens, and the dense jungle made travel exceedingly difficult. Travelling was secondary; the most important task was to find the Polygonum multiflorum.

Tangyu signaled to slow down his steps, "This place has a touch of Earthly spirit, subtly aligning with the earth’s veins, which is suitable for the growth of rare geomantic treasures like Polygonum multiflorum. Let’s thoroughly search this area and hopefully, we’ll find something."

Liang Youshan also perked up, and the two did not split up but searched together.

"Eh——what flower is this, it’s so beautiful——" Liang Youshan suddenly exclaimed in surprise. His words were barely out when he immediately let out a scream, "Ah——"

Upon hearing the scream, Tangyu’s eyebrows furrowed, and he quickly darted over, only to see Liang Youshan’s body turning black, sitting on the ground convulsing, and foaming at the mouth. Clearly, Liang Youshan had been poisoned, and it was a severe poison.

Without hesitation, Tangyu quickly activated the Immortal Finger Technique, swiftly pressing on various vital acupoints on Liang Youshan’s body to temporarily seal the channels and prevent the poison from spreading. Thereafter, he proceeded to expel the poison. After a while, Tangyu stopped, and only then did Liang Youshan stop foaming at the mouth. His complexion looked somewhat better, although some blackness remained on his body.

Liang Youshan himself was also using his cultivation to force the poison out. As a master of the Innate Realm, he had cultivated Inner Strength and could heal and expel poison on his own.

Of course, relying on his own Inner Strength to heal and expel poison would be slow unless his strength reached the eight or ninth layer of the Innate Realm. If it were the Earthly Realm, then naturally, he would be immune to hundreds of poisons.

Liang Youshan looked pitifully at Tangyu as if about to cry without tears, "That was close; this thing is so poisonous, it almost took my life. That was a close one. Tangyu, you are really something. What was that move you used just now that quickly sealed my vital acupoints? Otherwise, I might really have been in danger."

The situation just now was indeed terrifying. Had it been an ordinary person below the Innate Realm, they would surely have died instantly.

Tangyu’s gaze fell on the object that Liang Youshan had touched, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "The Mandragora flower, tsk tsk Liang Youshan, should I say you’re incredibly lucky, or just very lucky?"

Liang Youshan looked puzzledly at Tangyu, "What do you mean?"

"The Mandragora flower, also known as the Water of Death, is the king of all poisons. Fortunately, I was by your side in time to suppress it, otherwise, you would undoubtedly have died. Tsk tsk, such a thing is extremely rare; I’ve only seen it once before, and I didn’t expect to encounter one here. A truly excellent item, absolutely excellent," Tangyu said.

"What? It’s that dangerous?" Liang Youshan was also scared out of his wits, cold sweat running down his back. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

There are indeed not many poisons in this world that could threaten someone of the Innate Realm, but they exist, at least Liang Youshan was aware of some. He didn’t expect to encounter one today. And this flower, it could even bite.

How terrifying.

"It’s indeed that terrifying. Although I’ve temporarily suppressed the poison in you, it won’t last long, at most for one hour," Tangyu said.

Liang Youshan’s face turned instantly pale, and he looked mournfully at Tangyu, "Brother, don’t scare me. I really can’t take frights; I’m too timid. Please don’t tell me I only have an hour left to live? Don’t be cruel like this; reality shouldn’t be so brutal."

Tangyu glanced at Liang Youshan, "Theoretically, that’s the case, but you’re fine because you met me. I’m your savior."

Immediately, Liang Youshan threw himself at Tangyu’s legs, sobbing with snot and tears, "Tangyu, Boss, you have to save me! I have elderly parents at home, and I don’t even have children yet. I’m still innocent; I can’t just die like this. I still have great goals, lofty life ambitions——"

"My Immortal Finger Technique can temporarily restrain the poison in your body. Fortunately, you weren’t deeply poisoned, and this Mandragora flower isn’t very old either. Had you encountered one that’s over five hundred years old, I might have been powerless. This Mandragora flower is only a few decades old, still very young. To completely clear the poison from your body, I’ll need to refine an antidote. However, I currently don’t have the necessary medicinal ingredients. Once I find enough ingredients, I will be able to prepare an antidote for you," Tangyu explained.

Liang Youshan then saw a glimmer of hope, "We should be able to find the detoxifying medicinal ingredients here, right?"

Tangyu said, "It should be possible. On the way here, I saw quite a few but didn’t bother to pick them up. However, one important one is ginseng. If we have ginseng as a Medicine Guide, the effect will be excellent, and the Detoxification Elixir can be produced immediately, which can cure hundreds of poisons. Without ginseng, the effect will be much lesser, and it will take some time to recuperate fully. Let’s see what fortune brings you today."

"Ginseng, ginseng, we must find ginseng. My life’s happiness depends on it," Liang Youshan bit his teeth and said.

After calming Liang Youshan down, Tangyu’s gaze also turned toward the Mandragora flower. Known as the Flower of Death, it looked not the least bit terrifying. Instead, it was dangerously enchanting, pushingly beautiful to the extreme, breathtaking in its allure, making one involuntarily want to touch it.

As is often said, the extreme of anything leads to the reverse. When beauty reaches an extreme, it can become terrifying to the extreme.

It’s like a woman, if too devastatingly beautiful, she could be a femme fatale, practically a Su Daji.

Tangyu took out a small Jade Vase, carefully plucking the Mandragora flower and placing it into the vase, then he squeezed out all the venom from the Mandragora flower, forming a small drop of Water of Death.

"Never underestimate this tiny drop of Water of Death; it’s enough to kill ten thousand people. Even for someone in the Innate Realm, drinking just a drop guarantees certain death, as if by some divine curse."

And it’s not just about drinking it. Just coming into contact with it is terrifying. The poison from the Mandragora flower spreads incredibly fast and penetrates deeply. Just a touch, and you’ll end up just like Liang Youshan did just now."

Having obtained a Mandragora flower and refined a drop of Water of Death, Tangyu felt a stir of joy in his heart. It was a significant gain. In a critical moment, it might play a major role. A whole drop of Water of Death—if administered to someone of the Ninth Layer of the Innate Realm, could it possibly kill them?"

Of course, it’s quite difficult to poison someone directly.

However, the Water of Death is colorless and tasteless, which makes it incredibly hard to detect."

This drop of Water of Death could also be considered a secret weapon. Normally, Tangyu disdained such methods, but now he had no choice. It was tough mixing in the Outer Sect. Having offended Dong Ziqi and others, it was natural to keep some tricks up his sleeve."

"Let’s go. Let’s look for the root, I feel we might be able to find it here," Tangyu said.

Liang Youshan immediately nodded: "We can find it, we must find it, we definitely will find it. Seriously, this is no joke, I can’t afford to play here."

So, the two continued their search.

But their luck didn’t seem very good, and even after an hour, they still hadn’t found anything.

Liang Youshan’s face was a picture of despair: "It’s all over for me, I’m really done for today. Heaven envies the talented, absolutely heaven envies the talented! How could someone like me die in such frustration? History shouldn’t be written this way. Ah, what to do? What to do?"

Even at this moment, he still made it humorous.

Tangyu couldn’t help but kick him and said, "With me here, you won’t die. At worst, you’ll suffer a bit longer. Me, the great Young Divine Doctor of Huaxia, if I can’t cure this poison, then I’m merely living under an undeserved reputation."

"Wow, Young Divine Doctor of Huaxia, what a powerful title. Idol, Tangyu, you are like my parents reborn, I’m really kneeling here. Hanging out with you was just too right, simply the most correct decision in my life; I’m so damn impressed with myself," Liang Youshan said.

"..."

Tangyu ignored Liang Youshan and frowned slightly as he looked around. His frown deepened, his eyes flashed with surprise, "Hmm, shifting universe, Yin Yang Bagua giving birth to life thrice over, what a mysterious setup. Could it be—there is a higher being living in seclusion here? Or could it naturally be a formation?"

Tangyu had some knowledge of Mysticism too.

"Formation?" Liang Youshan was also shocked: "Impossible, what kind of formation could be here? Those high-class things can only be touched by someone at a high rank. How could there be a formation hidden in these deep mountains? This lousy place, I just can’t believe there could be a higher being living in seclusion here."

Tangyu shook his head: "It’s definitely a formation, and we’ve already entered into it. I’ve been wondering since earlier, feeling that something was off but didn’t think too much of it. Now it seems, that’s exactly it. It might not necessarily mean there’s a higher being here, it could also be a formation formed naturally. If it’s a higher being, then we might really be in big trouble. But if it formed naturally, then we’ve stumbled upon a great opportunity."

"Generally speaking, if it formed naturally, there must be a reason, and this reason is very likely that this place conceals a heaven and earth treasure, something extremely precious, otherwise there wouldn’t be a formation guarding it. Such a treasure might even make Myriad Saints Valley jealous. If that’s the case, then we’ve really hit a massive stroke of luck."

"Of course, I feel it’s more likely that a recluse lives here. Anyone willing to live in such a place is probably a high-ranking individual with an odd and reclusive nature. If that’s the case, we could really be in trouble, we might even end up dead here. Ah, we were being cautious all along, yet it seems we’ve capsized in the gutter."

Liang Youshan’s lips curled up, not yet happy, when another cold splash of reality hit him: "Are we—really that unlucky?"

Tangyu furrowed his brow and shook his head: "Hard to say."

"Uh—then let’s hope it’s naturally formed, maybe we’ll strike it rich," Liang Youshan said.

"Even if we strike it rich, we might not be able to get out, we could end up trapped here. As for the formation, I only know a little bit, nowhere near enough to break it. Can you break the formation?" Tangyu’s words struck Liang Youshan again.

Which almost had him sitting down on the ground in desperation, his face immediately mournful again: "So you’re saying, no matter the scenario, we’re finished? Indeed, heaven envies the talented. Ah, Tangyu, I’ve doomed you. I shouldn’t have been so excellent."
