243: patient

"Young lady, you wouldn't know this, would you? Although everyone lives at the foot of Medicine Mountain, they don't treat their own illnesses... Don't you agree?" Physician Chen said with a slight smile.

Situ Jiu didn't see any problem with that after hearing it, and he nodded gently.

Nan Qingyue, however, grew even more suspicious; she felt that there was definitely something wrong with this Physician Chen.

Otherwise, Physician Chen wouldn't be acting like this.

"The logic is sound, I suppose. Forget it, Physician Chen, tell me quickly—how is my master? How can we wake him up?" Nan Qingyue asked with a dark expression, pressing him further.

In truth, this was the question Nan Qingyue cared about most.

Right now, Nan Qingyue only wanted Li Changfeng to wake up; as for anyone else, she didn't care whether they lived or died.

"This problem is actually quite simple. In truth, Mr. Li has been poisoned. As long as the poisoned blood is forced out of his body, he will naturally recover after a few days." Physician Chen reached out and stroked his snow-white beard, looking full of confidence.

And right at that moment...

A cold light burst from Nan Qingyue's eyes. She turned around, her gaze narrowing as she stared fixedly at Physician Chen.

In fact, Nan Qingyue was very frustrated by this matter. She looked up, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

It was also at this time...

Nan Qingyue became even more curious. What exactly was going on? There was actually a faint trace of Qi on Physician Chen's body!

However, this Physician Chen shouldn't be a cultivator.

"Then does Physician Chen have another way? To help my master force the poisoned blood out of his body?" Nan Qingyue asked with a dark face, watching Physician Chen.

"How about this: first, have Mr. Li sit up, and then use an Iron Pestle to strike the back of his hand ruthlessly." As Physician Chen spoke, a cold light burst from his eyes.

And right at that moment...

Nan Qingyue's eyes lit up; she saw Physician Chen reveal a sinister smile.

At this point, Nan Qingyue was already on guard against Physician Chen. She took a deep breath, first forcing herself to calm down.

"Physician Chen, if we strike him ruthlessly, will Mr. Li wake up?" Situ Jiu asked with a face full of curiosity, not understanding at all.

"Correct, though that is only the first step." Physician Chen's lips curled into a smirk.

And right then, Situ Jiu reached out and gripped the Iron Pestle beside him tightly.

Immediately, Situ Jiu stepped forward and stood before Physician Chen, waiting for an answer.

"Then what should be done for the rest?" Nan Qingyue's lips curled; she seemed to have already reached a conclusion.

If it were for saving a person, how could such a method be used?

Physician Chen was truly talking nonsense.

Nan Qingyue had never heard of such a method for saving lives.

"The rest is also simple. I only need to place this red-hot stone in Mr. Li's mouth and use my Qi to force the poisoned blood out of his body. That way, Mr. Li will be fine." Physician Chen's lips curled into a smirk.

Upon hearing this...

Nan Qingyue's brows furrowed tightly, her face darkening.

It was at this moment that Nan Qingyue clenched her fists tightly. She took a deep breath, and only after calming herself did she slowly look up.

"Physician Chen, could you explain exactly what kind of brilliant move this is? I truly have never heard of such a treatment method in this world. Physician Chen has really opened my eyes." Nan Qingyue was no fool, and her face remained dark.

Nan Qingyue had long felt that there was something wrong with Physician Chen, but she couldn't directly fall out with him at this moment.

Nan Qingyue precisely wanted to get more clues from Physician Chen's mouth.

"Actually, these are the mysteries of medicine. Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand." Physician Chen intentionally put on an air of being Gao Shen.

"But Physician Chen, if you don't say it, how will we know? Don't you agree?" Nan Qingyue's lips curled into a smirk.

In fact, Nan Qingyue knew what was going on; she constantly felt that something was wrong with Physician Chen.

However, Nan Qingyue remained curious; Physician Chen's state was simply too strange.

"You want to know that badly?" Physician Chen's lips curled into a smirk.

Seeing this, Nan Qingyue nodded vigorously.

In truth, Nan Qingyue was extremely curious about what Physician Chen was trying to do!

Previously, Physician Chen clearly had a very good relationship with Mr. Li, yet after not seeing him for only a few days, he had revealed his true colors. It was truly enough to make one gasp.

Situ Jiu didn't take it to heart; he looked up at Physician Chen nearby.

"Physician Chen, if you can save Mr. Li, then hurry up and do it. Don't dally any longer." Situ Jiu spoke up at this moment.

Hearing this, Nan Qingyue turned around, a cold light bursting from her bright eyes as she stared fixedly at Situ Jiu.

What on earth was this kid doing?

Why was he still letting Physician Chen act to save Master at a time like this!

Was this kid an idiot!

"Fine, fine, I'll start right now." Physician Chen's lips curled into a smirk.

Originally, Physician Chen thought these two wouldn't be so easily fooled.

But now, it seemed Physician Chen was mistaken.

It had to be said that this silly boy was truly easy to deceive.

"Wait, wait, wait. Physician Chen, I still don't quite understand. Why don't you explain it clearly?" Nan Qingyue quickly stepped forward.

Physician Chen clearly harbored ill intentions; if she let this guy act, there was no telling what would happen to Master.

Thinking of this, Nan Qingyue wouldn't let Physician Chen near her master even if it cost her her life!

Situ Jiu turned around and looked at Nan Qingyue, appearing even more puzzled.

"Senior Sister, what are you doing? Physician Chen is trying to save Mr. Li. Move aside quickly." Situ Jiu said with a dark face and a serious expression.

In truth, Situ Jiu wanted to save Li Changfeng more than anyone, yet Nan Qingyue kept obstructing them.

Situ Jiu didn't understand why his Senior Sister was doing this.

"A Jiu, back down! This is no place for you to speak!" Nan Qingyue shouted coldly, her face dark.

Immediately, Nan Qingyue stepped forward, a cold light bursting from her eyes. At that moment, she smiled, revealing a sinister grin.
