First Update.
…
This prompt came a bit too abruptly, and it was directly transmitted into the depths of Qin Fang's mind in a way that Qin Fang had never encountered before.
If not for this, Qin Fang would not have been so surprised.
"Could it be?"
Qin Fang's heart moved slightly, and he immediately thought of a possibility.
As if responding to Qin Fang's thoughts, he immediately felt a burst of heat coming from his arm. It was the little fellow hidden in Qin Fang's arm.
"Is it really you who did this?"
Qin Fang's heart was even more surprised. This little fellow, who was unknown whether it was a snake or a dragon, was hatched by Qin Fang last night. It had extremely powerful strength, and even the poison hidden in Qin Fang's body was directly swallowed up. Now, Qin Fang had just checked and found out that Elder Crow was not simply injured, but had been poisoned by a poison called Five Poison Powder.
The little fellow could not communicate with Qin Fang like a human, but it seemed to have a kind of telepathic connection with Qin Fang. It could understand Qin Fang's questions, and then give some answers.
Five Poison Powder was a kind of poison that circulated in the Yungui Miaojiang. It was a mixture of five kinds of poisonous insects, poisonous flowers, and poisonous grass. It was colorless and tasteless, but it was extremely poisonous.
Although it was not to the extent of being fatal, it was absolutely impossible to save the person who was poisoned. It was very vicious.
It was just that with the progress of the times, the level of medical skills was also constantly improving. Now, as long as the poison did not cause immediate death, there was a very high chance of being cured.
However, the difficulty of curing this Five Poison Powder was quite high, mainly because the person who was poisoned would die very quickly.
The reason why Elder Crow did not die was most likely because of his profound skills. He used his powerful Internal Breath to suppress the poison, or because the dosage of the poison was relatively small, so he could survive.
But even so, the murderer still didn't intend to give up. He even heavily injured Elder Wu, making his situation even worse.
According to Qin Fang's current estimation, if Elder Crow's current situation continued to drag on, he would at most have three days to live. This was because Qin Fang could clearly sense that Elder Crow's life force was rapidly decreasing.
This was a mysterious feeling. He couldn't explain it, but it made Qin Fang feel the same as when his HP rapidly fell into the danger zone.
There was an acupuncture box at the head of the bed. Qin Fang took out three silver needles from the box and pierced them into three important acupuncture points, sealing the left side of Elder Crow's body. The color of one of Elder Crow's arms instantly changed. Then, he took out another silver needle and waited for the entire arm to become a strange greenish-black color. Only then did Qin Fang use the silver needle to pierce the five fingertips of the hand.
Wu Ming's mouth moved as if he wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Cai Pingyuan.
Wu Ming's attention was focused on his father, Elder Crow, but Cai Pingyuan still had to pay attention to Qin Fang's changes. Although the process seemed simple, Qin Fang's expression was unusually serious. His forehead and the tip of his nose were dripping with sweat. It was clear that the process was not as simple as it seemed.
The fingertips were pierced …
Drops of black blood slowly dripped from his fingertips, dripping onto the ground.
Perhaps it was because the house was built on a mountain, but the ground wasn't made of ordinary limestone or bricks. Instead, it was all made of wood. After the black blood dripped down, some faint bubbles appeared on the ground.
Cai Pingyuan's expression changed slightly. He found something to push the blood away and saw that the wood was charred black.
"It really is a deadly poison!"
To the people of the martial arts world, although this situation was rare, it was still something that everyone knew. Seeing the charred wood, they could confirm that Qin Fang's words were true.
As for whether or not it was the Five Poisons Powder, that was hard to say!
But for Qin Fang's words, they almost believed most of it.
At this moment, Qin Fang staggered and quickly pulled out the three silver needles that sealed his acupoints. Only then did he collapse into a chair, panting heavily.
Looking at his body, it was as if he had been fished out of the water. His entire body was drenched.
Cai Pingyuan and Wu Ming did not dare to disturb Qin Fang. He was really too weak right now. They were worried that their disturbance would bring harm to Qin Fang.
Fortunately, Qin Fang rested for a while and recovered his strength. He walked back to Elder Crow's side and reached out to check his pulse. Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief.
"How is it?"
Seeing Qin Fang's hand leave Elder Crow's wrist, Cai Pingyuan and Wu Ming hurried over to ask. Their expressions were quite serious, but there was also a hint of longing.
However, Qin Fang shook his head helplessly. "The Five Poisons Powder's toxicity is quite overbearing. Elder Crow should not have ingested much. However, the injuries on his body are too serious. The combination of the two led to the current situation … If I'm not wrong, Elder Crow has at most … at most three more days to live!"
What Qin Fang said was the truth. Elder Crow's situation had indeed reached a critical juncture. If there was even the slightest mishap, he would die.
At most three more days to live. It did not mean that he could live for three more days. He might not even live past today …
Hearing this, Wu Ming's expression turned extremely ugly. His eyes were filled with grief. He wanted to refute Qin Fang and reprimand Qin Fang for spouting nonsense. However, he knew in his heart that most of what Qin Fang said was true.
"Do you have a way?"
Compared to Wu Ming's near despair, Cai Pingyuan was slightly better. Although he also felt anxious and sad, he could not help but ask.
"If I can get rid of the Five Poisons Powder in Elder Crow's body, I have a forty percent chance. If I can't … I don't even have a ten percent chance!"
Qin Fang smiled bitterly. Although he knew the art of acupuncture, it did not mean that he could really bring the dead back to life.
"Get rid of the poison …"
Hearing this, Wu Ming and Cai Pingyuan shook their heads helplessly.
The Five Poisons Powder was notorious in the martial arts world. Moreover, it had long been banned. Normal people could not get their hands on it, nor did they know how to make it, much less get rid of the poison.
Elder Crow could be sent to the hospital to have his stomach pumped … However, Elder Crow's current body could not support the treatment. Even the slightest movement would cause Elder Crow extreme pain. After all, he had been hit in the chest with the ultimate move, Tiger Head Charge.
"If there's really no way, then we can only prepare for the funeral … At most, I can only let Wu Ming wake up for a few minutes and let him make his final arrangements!"
Qin Fang could only do so much. With his mysterious Nine Heaven Rejuvenation Needles, it was not possible to cure the poison and save someone. If it was only to let Elder Crow have a final burst of consciousness and wake up for a few minutes, then it would not be a problem at all.
However, the price to pay for this final burst of consciousness was extremely high. That was only to stimulate Elder Crow's final life potential in advance. Basically, after these few minutes, Elder Crow's life would completely come to an end.
Regarding this situation, Qin Fang explained it to Wu Ming very seriously. The Wu Family had to be mentally prepared. Acting rashly was not advisable.
Those who knew that Qin Fang was helping would think that Elder Crow had been killed by Qin Fang!
"Let me discuss it with everyone …"
Wu Ming nodded. Although he was the person in charge of the Wu Family, in front of such a big event, he had to get everyone's agreement.
It was best not to use this method until the very last moment. Perhaps there would be a miracle in the end. This was human nature, and Qin Fang could understand it very well.
…
Wu Ming quickly gathered the Wu Family for a meeting, and Cai Pingyuan followed. Although he did not have much say in this matter, as an elder, he could go and hold the fort to prevent the dispute from becoming too intense and causing some trouble.
Qin Fang, on the other hand, was relaxed. He walked out alone for a stroll, and at the same time, he admired the beautiful scenery of Mount Lu.
Especially the quiet and secluded forest, the ancient courtyard, and the layers of mountains in the distance. The uncanny workmanship of nature's carvings, the scenery was indeed much better than Drifting Cloud Mountain. No wonder it was so famous.
"You know how to treat illnesses?
Why haven't I seen it before … "
Cai Qing looked at Qin Fang with a very strange expression. She felt that this Qin Fang was not the one she knew. His performance these two days was as if he was a completely different person.
"I've learned some simple things, just superficial knowledge …"
Qin Fang was quite modest. However, if these words were heard by Elder Ma and Elder Cai, they would probably not be able to resist giving him a good beating.
The Nine Needles of Rejuvenation was a consummate acupuncture technique that many famous doctors could not learn even if they wanted to. Even Elder Ma, a divine doctor of Chinese medicine, coveted it very much, not to mention other ordinary doctors whose standards were much lower.
Take Elder Crow's illness as an example. Many doctors had seen him and could see the injuries on Elder Crow's body. However, this poison … No one could detect it. Even Elder Ma, who was known as a divine doctor of Chinese medicine, could not.
Elder Ma was a divine doctor of Chinese medicine. He walked the right path. He really did not know much about poisons, not to mention the Five Poison Powder, a strange poison that was banned in Miaojiang.
Qin Fang's trick just now had completely stunned Wu Ming. Although he still had some doubts in his heart, it did not affect his respect for Qin Fang, a famous doctor. Even though Qin Fang always felt that he was still a rookie in medical skills, this was the truth.
Looking at Qin Fang's humble face, Cai Qing's first reaction was – this guy is pretending!
But then she felt that her idea was not right. In her heart, Qin Fang should be an ignorant bastard. Only such a reason could continue to support Cai Qing's determination to defeat Qin Fang.
"Do you have a way to detoxify the poison?"
However, after hesitating, Cai Qing could not help but ask.
Elder Cai and Elder Crow were old friends for many years. Their relationship was like that of brothers. Although they rarely chatted and drank tea together, they were always very concerned about each other's health.
Just like this time when Elder Crow was seriously ill, Cai Qing did not know in advance. She only vaguely noticed that Elder Cai's temper had become a little abnormal a few days ago. Her mood seemed particularly lonely.
At first, Cai Qing only thought that Elder Cai was old. Without the children at home, she seemed too lonely. Now that she thought about it, she really understood what was going on.
Just now, she specifically asked Luo Xi about the time when Elder Crow was injured and could not get up. Sure enough, the time was the same as the time when Elder Cai's mood changed.
"No …"
Qin Fang shook his head. He really had no way at all.
Acupuncture was magical, but it could not detoxify. At most, it could force out some of the poison like just now. It was just that Elder Crow's body could not hold on for long. He did not have the time at all, not to mention he did not have the energy.
Just a little bit of poison almost made Qin Fang collapse. The physical strength and energy consumption were too great.
"Tsk, I knew it …"
Cai Qing's face immediately revealed a very disdainful expression, although the depths of her eyes revealed a deep disappointment.
"Err …"
Qin Fang was slightly stunned. He was really not used to Cai Qing's mood change.
Before, she was still fine and seemed to be very easy to talk to. But in the blink of an eye, she seemed to have changed into a different person. She turned hostile and showed no mercy.
"Forget it, why lower yourself to a woman's level!"
Qin Fang shook his head and muttered in his heart, "But she doesn't seem to be completely a woman …"
Qin Fang was only thinking about it in his heart. If he really said it out loud, he would definitely not have a good ending.
When he was level 3 and close to level 4, he could barely deal with the level 4 Luo Xi. But against the violent crazy girl Cai Qing, he was really looking for a beating. Even if he, Qin Fang, had a thick skin, he could not withstand that kind of torment.
But Qin Fang's mind did not stay here. He was still pondering about the little guy that was lurking on his arm.
With Qin Fang's previous ability, it was impossible to find out that Elder Crow was poisoned. The Five Poison Powder was very hidden. Even Elder Ma could be deceived, let alone the rookie level Qin Fang.
But after this little guy appeared, Qin Fang had just taken the pulse and immediately got the answer. The speed was so fast that Qin Fang did not even have the chance to react.
Thinking back to when this little guy attached to Qin Fang's body, it swallowed all the poison that had been lurking on Qin Fang's arm. Qin Fang pondered that this little thing seemed to have a very powerful effect.
"It was dropped from the Golden Crown Comb Snake. Although it looks different from the Golden Crown Comb Snake, it might be a kind of extremely poisonous creature with a natural perception of poison …"
Qin Fang silently calculated in his heart, "Since it can swallow the poison in my body, then can it swallow the poison in Elder Crow's Five Poison Powder …"
Qin Fang's heart suddenly came up with such an idea. Although this idea seemed to be a bit too ridiculous, but in the current situation, Elder Crow was already a lamp that was about to run out of oil. Maybe he could give it a try.
But Qin Fang did not have any confidence in his heart. It was completely his own guess, the kind that had no basis at all.
