"The antidote has been prepared …"
"The antidote has been prepared …"
"The antidote has been prepared …"
Almost as soon as Qin Fang and the rest left the study and headed towards the courtyard where Elder Wu was recuperating, the news spread throughout the entire Wu's old house within a few minutes.
Elder Wu's nephews and disciples all dressed up and rushed over from various courtyards. They all wanted to know the latest situation of the old man's illness and hoped that Qin Fang could really bring a miracle to the Wu's.
Just as Qin Fang and the rest stepped into the courtyard, they blocked the entire courtyard. There were too many people and the small courtyard was not enough for them to stand.
In the end, only those with status in the Wu's stood in the innermost and near the front row. As for those who could really enter the house, only Qin Fang, Cai Pingyuan, Wu Ming, Wu Hai, and Luo Xi could enter the house. However, she was only here to assist. Qin Fang needed her help with what he was about to do.
"They're all here …"
Luo Xi took out a few small cages. Inside were a few white mice that were commonly used in the laboratory. It was not difficult to get them.
"Catch one first …"
Qin Fang nodded and let Luo Xi catch a white mouse. Then he took out the lowest quality antidote pill of 24 quality, crushed it and dissolved it in a bowl of water.
Immediately, Qin Fang took out a silver needle and quickly pierced it into Elder Wu's stomach. His wrist shook a few times and Cai Pingyuan, Wu Ming, and Wu Hai all moved to the side.
The white mouse crawled on the table, as if it was completely unaware of the arrival of danger. At this moment, Qin Fang grabbed the white mouse with one hand and held it. At the same time, the other hand that held the silver needle quickly moved over. That silver needle also accurately pierced into the white mouse's abdomen.
Cai Pingyuan, Wu Ming, and Wu Hai were the strongest and were also the closest. They could vaguely see that Qin Fang's silver needle had already turned black. There was even a drop of black blood on it. And now, that drop of black blood had been injected into the little white mouse's body.
About half a minute later, the previously active white mouse began to tremble. Its body began to sway, and its pupils began to dilate.
Qin Fang didn't care about this. Instead, he forced the white mouse to drink some of the water mixed with the Detoxification Pill. The amount wasn't a lot, but Qin Fang estimated that it was enough.
At this time, everyone understood what Qin Fang was doing. They all stared at the white mouse with wide eyes, waiting for its reaction.
The little white mouse's crooked body moved again, seemingly energized. But soon, the same situation occurred again. This time, Qin Fang didn't have time to feed it the antidote before the little white mouse's body tilted and fell down.
"It's dead …"
Luo Xi rushed over to check, then gave a very dejected answer.
The other onlookers were also disappointed. They all looked at Qin Fang with eyes full of suspicion. Some of them were even angry. But since the Wu Family's leaders, Wu Ming and Wu Hai, didn't say anything, even if they were dissatisfied, they couldn't show it.
Wu Ming and Wu Hai were also feeling rather bitter. However, they noticed that Qin Fang did not look disappointed at all because of this failure. Instead, his eyes brightened a little.
It was this discovery that made them feel that there might still be a chance for things to turn around. That was why they continued to persevere.
Another Detoxification Pill was mixed into the water. This time, it was a quality 29 pill, slightly better than the previous one. Qin Fang also reduced the amount of water he mixed. The previous ones were too wasteful. The medicinal effects were too scattered. He could be considered to have learned his lesson.
"Again …"
Using the same method, another little white mouse. Qin Fang pierced the poisonous silver needle into the little white mouse's body and waited for about half a minute. This little white mouse had a similar reaction as the previous one. Qin Fang quickly fed the little white mouse this bowl of Detoxification Pill medicine.
This time, the effect seemed to be much more obvious than the previous one. The little white mouse that had started to wobble just now jumped up and even started to run. But … just like the previous one, it didn't even run 30 centimeters before its body suddenly staggered, its belly flipped, and it died again.
Sigh …
This time, Qin Fang clearly heard such a soft sigh from the crowd. When the little white mouse started to run just now, many of them had smiles on their faces, as if they could see the dawn of victory.
"Again!"
However, Qin Fang was not discouraged. On the contrary, this time, Qin Fang was more confident.
This time, the Detoxification Pill used was no longer the worst one, but the best one among the 30 to 50 pills with quality 48.
The same process was repeated for the third time, but many people in the crowd were no longer interested. They seemed to be very desperate.
Poisoning, feeding the antidote, waiting …
The little white mouse that drank the Detoxification Pill medicine was wobbling. Its body seemed to be about to collapse completely at any time. Even half of its body was already close to the table. It could turn over and die at any time. The Detoxification Pill didn't seem to have any effect at all.
Qin Fang's brows also frowned. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
At this moment, the little white mouse, whose belly was about to turn white, suddenly flipped over. Its movements were as vigorous as before, as if it had never been poisoned.
"Hu …"
This time, the results made Qin Fang quite satisfied. The mouse had finally survived. It could even be said that it had become quite healthy. It seemed that the poison had been completely removed.
This time, many people's eyes lit up. Not only Qin Fang, but even Wu Ming and the rest saw hope. The eyes of the people in the crowd who were in despair earlier were now shining brightly.
"Alright, you can take the medicine now …"
Qin Fang stood up and rubbed his sore waist as he said calmly.
"You're not going to continue the experiment?"
This time, it was Luo Xi who was unhappy. Old Man Wu was not this kind of white mouse.
"There's no need. The Detoxification Pill I gave the mouse just now was a slightly inferior one!
The one Old Man Wu took was the best one I have. If even this doesn't work, then I really have no other way … However, from the results of the experiment just now, it's still quite optimistic! "
Actually, the results of the experiment should be enough to explain the problem. However, Qin Fang was not in the mood to continue. No matter how poor the quality of the Detoxification Pill was, it was still a Detoxification Pill. He only had a few on hand, so he could not continue wasting them.
"Okay, okay, okay, hurry up …"
Luo Xi naturally did not dare to have any objections. She had tried her best to stop him earlier, but now she was urging him.
Qin Fang could only roll his eyes helplessly at this woman's behavior. He really did not have much to say. It really made him speechless.
"Help Old Man Wu up first …"
Qin Fang immediately said as he walked to the bed. Wu Ming and Wu Hai helped Old Man Wu up from the left and right. Their movements were as gentle as possible to avoid affecting the injury on Old Man Wu's chest.
"Master, Senior Brothers Wu, after Old Man Wu takes the Detoxification Pill, I'll have to trouble the three of you to take turns to catalyze the pill's effects. This way, the Detoxification Pill will take effect faster … However, Old Man Wu's body may have a huge reaction and it may be very painful. I hope that everyone can hold on and not let go!"
Qin Fang used the best Detoxification Pill he had. Its quality was as high as 78. He crushed the Detoxification Pill and placed it in the bowl of water while instructing Cai Pingyuan, Wu Ming, and Wu Hai beside him. Old Man Wu's body was relatively weak, so he could only use this method to catalyze the pill's effects.
The process may be very painful, but the pill's effects would take effect the fastest and the detoxification effect would be the best. He believed that he would be fine in no time.
Wu Ming and Wu Hai were somewhat hesitant when they heard this, but in the end, they nodded solemnly. For the sake of Old Man Wu's last hope of survival, they had no choice but to make this choice.
"Okay, no problem!"
Cai Pingyuan also nodded, although he himself could not bear to do so.
"Luo Xi, go find a toilet bowl … Everyone else, back out. When the poison gas spreads out, those who don't want to be poisoned should run further away!"
At this time, the Detoxification Pill had already dissolved in the water. Qin Fang suddenly thought of something and immediately instructed Luo Xi, who was closest to him. As for the others who were blocking the door, Qin Fang lightly scolded them. They were affecting the ventilation too much.
"I'll go now …"
Luo Xi only hesitated for a moment, but she still nodded in agreement and went to find a toilet bowl.
As for the others, some of the younger ones retreated more than ten meters away. Luo Youheng and the other disciples only retreated outside the door to ensure that the room was ventilated.
Pinching open Old Man Wu's dry and chapped lips, Qin Fang poured the small bowl of water that contained the potency of 78 Detoxification Pill into Old Man Wu's mouth. His attitude was a little rough, but only in this way could he absorb all the potency of the pill most effectively and fully.
Cai Pingyuan was the first to act. He had cultivated Neixi for tens of years, and at the same time, his proficiency in using it clearly far surpassed the Wu brothers.
Almost as soon as Qin Fang poured the potency down and closed Old Man Wu's mouth, he immediately acted. What he used was a very strange massage technique, but it made Old Man Wu, who was extremely likely to choke, swallow the potency without any reaction.
After that, it was time for Cai Pingyuan to perform. His hands continuously moved around Old Man Wu's back and arms, gradually dispersing the potency of the Detoxification Pill and spreading it to every organ in the body.
Roar ~ ~
Just as Qin Fang said, Old Man Wu, who had been lying on the bed for twenty days without any reaction, now had an extremely painful expression on his face. At the same time, his body also began to tremble unnaturally.
Wu Ming and Wu Hai both looked at Qin Fang at the same time. Although they were already mentally prepared, seeing their old father suffer such a heavy injury and still suffer such torment, their hearts were extremely uncomfortable.
"It's okay, this is good for Old Man Wu's recovery …"
Qin Fang had no choice but to speak up, otherwise the two brothers might not be able to hold on.
At the same time, he also took the brocade box from beside the bed and took out all the silver needles inside, laying them flat on the table. He still needed to use them immediately, and they were essential.
The massage continued, but at this rate of Neixi consumption, even for a Level 6 Master like Cai Pingyuan, he could not maintain it for too long. In addition, Cai Pingyuan was also old, and his energy could not keep up. After about five minutes, his clothes were completely drenched in sweat, as if he had been fished out of the water.
"Switch!"
Qin Fang hurriedly pulled Cai Pingyuan away, and at the same time lightly shouted.
The Wu brothers looked at each other, and Wu Hai immediately took over Cai Pingyuan's position, continuing to circulate his Neixi to catalyze the potency of the Detoxification Pill in Old Man Wu's body.
In terms of power, he was the weakest of the three, but one of them had to be at the bottom, and Wu Ming was obviously more suitable.
He did not use the same massage technique as Cai Pingyuan, but rather a very strange technique similar to a fist technique. It clearly looked like a fierce punch, but in reality, the force transmitted to Old Man Wu's body was similar to Cai Pingyuan's massage technique. It was clearly a secret technique of the Wu family.
From this moment on, Qin Fang began to act. One by one, silver needles pierced into a few key acupuncture points on Old Man Wu's body, sealing off his heart meridian.
Then he began to investigate the poisoned area bit by bit, as well as the situation of the poison being neutralized. Qin Fang's expression was still very serious, and there was almost no change.
Wu Hai's power was still a little weaker. Cai Pingyuan, at his age, could only hold on for five minutes, while Wu Hai could not take it after three minutes. The sweat on his body was as if it was free, but he still did not give up, holding on with his strong willpower.
Qin Fang frowned slightly. Wu Hai's performance was understandable, but things were not that bad.
"Another person!"
Qin Fang pushed Wu Hai away with great force, and Wu Ming immediately followed him. He used the same method to make the last effort. The expression on his face was quite solemn.
Old Man Wu's body was at the most critical moment. The detoxification pill and the poison in his body were engaged in a life-and-death struggle. The more the pill spread, the less likely the poison would remain, and the faster his recovery would be.
However, Old Man Wu's pain was also unimaginable.
Only a Grandmaster level expert like him could hold on. If it were an ordinary old man, even if he did not die from the poison, he would die from the pain.
One only needed to look at his twisted body, his incomparably ferocious face, and the bulging veins on his skinny body to make it obvious.
The Wu brothers were under great pressure. They looked at their old father's painful expression, and their hearts were bleeding. Their eyes, which had not shed tears for many years, were already wet. At first, they did not wipe it away, because they simply did not have the time.
"Cough cough cough ~ ~ ~"
Hard work pays off!
Two minutes after Wu Ming took over, Old Man Wu, who had been silently enduring the pain, actually opened his mouth and let out a few coughs. Immediately, Qin Fang's serious expression changed to a little joy.
When Old Man Wu, who had slept for 20 days, finally let out such coughs from his throat, almost everyone's eyes lit up. Even the exhausted Cai Pingyuan and Wu Hai, even Wu Ming who was still persisting, and even the spectators outside could not hide the excitement and excitement in their eyes.
However, now was clearly not the time to celebrate. At least, it was not the time for Qin Fang to relax.
Holding a dozen silver needles in his hands, he quickly pierced the various acupoints on Old Man Wu's body. After the tireless efforts of the three people, the effects of the detoxification pill had spread to almost every part of Old Man Wu's body that had been corroded by the poison.
The reason why Old Man Wu's expression was so painful and his body was twisting was completely because of the side effects of the detoxification pill and the Five Poison Powder.
However, as the poison gradually weakened, Old Man Wu's pain also gradually decreased. Thus, he gradually calmed down and even let out such coughs.
"Senior Wu, at last, use all your strength!"
At this time, they had reached the final juncture. Qin Fang's dozen silver needles had all been pierced into Old Man Wu's body, but there were still quite a few silver needles left in his hands.
This was a very strange matter, but obviously no one would pay attention to such an unimportant detail, as they were all waiting for Old Man Wu to wake up.
When everything was on the right track, Qin Fang's expression also calmed down. Suddenly, he grabbed one of Old Man Wu's hands, and immediately, five silver needles accurately pierced the five fingertips at the same time. At the same time, the silver needles immediately began to tremble, letting out a buzzing sound.
"Nine Heaven Returning Needles – Ghost's Sorrow!"
This was the move that Qin Fang had previously used on Zhao Kang. In an instant, it produced an incomparably intense pain, and Qin Fang wanted to use this kind of pain to wake Old Man Wu up.
As expected, Old Man Wu's wrinkled face immediately twisted, and his eyelids lightly moved twice, as if he wanted to open them. His breathing also became much smoother, and gradually returned to normal. Qin Fang then hurriedly pulled out the silver needles.
"Awake, awake!!"
Old Man Wu's eyelids moved. Not only did Qin Fang see it, Luo Xi also saw it, and immediately cried out in surprise. She wanted to spread this happy news, and let the rest of the Wu Family be happy and excited together!
"He's awake, he's really awake …"
When Luo Xi shouted out, everyone standing outside the door was immediately stunned. They were all a bit dizzy from this sudden huge joy, and actually did not know what to do for a moment.
They actually wanted to rush in and see with their own eyes, but they were also worried that it would affect Qin Fang and the rest's treatment. Each and every one of them could only stretch their necks and look in from the door and window.
However, there were indeed people who saw that Old Man Wu's eyes had already completely opened … he was really saved!!!
