As he spoke, Yang Luo turned to ask everyone, “Does everyone want to see Mr.
Du’s ability to concoct poison?”
“Yes, of course I do!”
Everyone nodded in response.
Although they did not like Du Kongqing, they had to admit that Du Kongqing’s ability to poison and detoxify was indeed very powerful.
Du Kongqing nodded and said, “Alright, let’s finish the third round!”
Then, Du Kongqing walked to the medicine cabinet and began to choose the herbs. He grabbed the herbs and placed them on the medicinal paper.
Yang Luo put on his clothes and looked at Du Kongqing with interest.
Everyone present also watched the commotion.
Not long after…
Du Kongqing grabbed ten medicinal herbs and said, “I’ve already concocted them. Kid, it’s your turn.”
As the saying went, outsiders watched the show while insiders watched the show.
Huang Tai’an, Cao Jisheng, Han Shouli, Sun Boren, and the doctors present could tell.
Du Kongqing had actually chosen the ten most poisonous herbs in their medical center.
Sun Boren clearly knew that there were more than a thousand herbs in his medical center.
It was already shocking enough that Du Kongqing was able to choose the ten most poisonous medicinal herbs from the thousand-odd medicinal herbs in ten minutes.
Most importantly, these ten medicinal herbs would not counter each other. Instead, they would complement each other, increasing the overall toxicity by several times.
Yang Luo could naturally tell, so he admired Du Kongqing even more.
Huang Tai’an hurriedly reminded him, “Master, hurry up and choose the herbs.”
“Alright.”
Yang Luo nodded and walked to the medicine cabinet to choose the medicine.
In less than five minutes.
Yang Luo chose three medicinal herbs and threw them onto the medicinal paper. He casually spoke out, “I’ve also chosen mine.”
Huang Tai’an and the others looked at the three medicinal herbs Yang Luo had chosen and were immediately dumbfounded.
“Master, are you sure you didn’t randomly choose three medicinal herbs?”
“Yes, Master, these three medicinal herbs are not poisonous at all!”
Huang Tai’an and Cao Jisheng spoke up one after another.
Sun Boren and Han Shouli also had strange expressions on their faces. Did Yang Luo give up on this competition?
Even the other doctors present thought so.
Du Kongqing’s expression also darkened. He said angrily, “Kid, if you don’t want to compete, then forget it.
“But why are you using such a perfunctory attitude to compete with me in the third round? Are you looking down on me?”
Yang Luo said, “Mr. Du, I definitely don’t mean to look down on you.
I carefully chose these three medicinal herbs. The toxicity is definitely more domineering than yours.
After all, it does not always mean that the more poisonous herbs you use, the more domineering the poison.
Sometimes, when a few seemingly ordinary herbs are combined, they can produce poison.”
“Is that so?”
Du Kongqing sneered and said, “Then I want to see it for myself!”
Sun Boren instructed the staff of the medical center, “Hurry up and brew the medicine!”
The staff of the medical center nodded repeatedly and went to the backyard with the herbs.
Everyone waited quietly.
Half an hour later.
Two waiters walked over with two bowls of medicinal soup.
One of the shop assistants said, “This bowl of medicinal soup is made by Mr.
Du.”
“This bowl of medicine is made by Mr. Yang.”
Another worker spoke.
Yang Luo walked forward, picked up Du Kongqing’s medicinal soup, and drank it in one gulp.
Du Kongqing did not show any weakness either. He picked up the medicinal soup that Yang Luo had prepared and drank it in one gulp.
It was only a few minutes after Yang Luo finished drinking the medicine.
Yang Luo’s face began to turn red and green, and so did the exposed skin on his body.
“The poison is acting up!”
Huang Tai’an exclaimed.
Everyone looked at Yang Luo, waiting for him to detoxify the poison.
Yang Luo did not stop at all. He picked up a silver needle and pierced it into the nine acupuncture points on his chest.
After the nine silver needles pierced into the nine acupuncture points, they began to tremble violently.
Less than ten minutes later.
Wisps of black gas floated out along the silver needle and dissipated in the air.
After detoxifying the poison, Yang Luo put away the silver needles, “Mr. Du, you’re worthy of the title of ‘Poison Doctor King’ to be able to concoct such poison from a limited number of medicinal herbs in a short period of time!”
“Looks like there shouldn’t be any poison in this world that can poison you.”
Du Kongqing said in admiration and continued, “However, kid, although your ability to detoxify poison is very impressive, your ability to poison seems to be very ordinary.
Didn’t you say that the poison you concocted with those three medicinal herbs was more domineering than mine? Then why haven’t I acted up yet?”
However, just as he finished speaking!
“Arghhhh!”
Du Kongqing suddenly let out a miserable cry. He felt a piercing pain all over his body.
Right on the heels of that.
Du Kongqing did not have time to detoxify the poison at all. He directly fell to the ground, and his entire body began to twitch.
His face was ferocious. Clearly, he was enduring immense pain and felt that he was about to die.
Huang Tai’an couldn’t help but exclaim, “Oh my god, how can three non-toxic herbs be so poisonous when mixed together?!”
Sun Boren hurriedly said, “Master, Senior Brother Du seems to be dying. Please save him!”
Yang Luo’s expression was calm as he said, “Don’t worry, he’ll be fine.”
Time continued to flow.
It was only after more than ten minutes that there was a reaction.
“Pfft…”
Du Kongqing opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
When everyone saw this, they were shocked!
Could this old man have been poisoned to death?
Just as everyone was feeling uneasy…
Du Kongqing got up from the ground as if nothing had happened. He bowed deeply to Yang Luo and said, “Thank you, Little Brother, for resolving all the poison in my body. I’m extremely grateful!”
As soon as these words were spoken…
The crowd went silent.
“Wasn’t this old fellow poisoned just now? Why is he fine now?”
“This old fellow said that Little Brother helped him resolve all the poison in his body. What’s going on?”
Everyone was very surprised.
Just as everyone was puzzled…
Du Kongqing looked at Yang Luo with admiration and said, “Little brother, I finally understand.
“In the first two rounds of the competition, you deliberately mobilized all the poison in my body.
“In this last competition, you used the poison concocted from these three medicinal herbs to completely resolve the poison in my body.
“Now that the poison hidden in my body has been completely neutralized, I feel relaxed.”
After a pause, Du Kongqing continued, “Although these poisons usually won’t affect me, one day, they will completely erupt. At that time, I’ll die!
“Little brother, be it your medical skills or morals, you’re far superior to me.
I’m convinced of my loss in this competition!”
Upon hearing Du Kongqing’s words, everyone present came to a realization.
Cao Jisheng sighed and said, “As expected of Master. He actually used a competition to resolve the poison hidden in this old fellow’s body!
Impressive, really too impressive!”
