35: Chapter 35 Medicine God Valley, Yao Feng

"That's right, it is I. Take me to treat the Zheng Family Young Miss." As he spoke, the old man took out a pitch-black pill and popped it into his mouth.

Xiao Yuchen also looked at the old man. The old man gave off an aura of a transcendent being with boundless power, but Xiao Yuchen could tell that the old man was merely an ordinary person.

However, he could smell a faint scent of medicinal herbs on the old man, which suggested that the old man had likely dealt with traditional herbs for many years and was indeed a renowned physician.

"Great Master Yizhen, please come with me."

Because Zheng Yujiao was currently in a coma, lying in her boudoir, others were forbidden from entering, with the exception of the renowned physicians who had come to treat her. Even the people from the Four Great Families who had brought the doctors had to wait outside for the results.

About fifteen minutes later, Great Master Yizhen walked out. His complexion looked very poor; clearly, he had also been poisoned, but because he had taken an antidote pill beforehand, it did not seem very serious.

"Sigh, Steward Zheng, I am truly sorry. The Young Miss's illness is too bizarre; I am powerless to help." Great Master Yizhen felt somewhat guilty.

"You are too kind, Great Master Yizhen. To save the Young Miss, you have also been poisoned. It is our Zheng Family that has failed you. Please rest for a moment; if someone can neutralize the poison in the Young Miss, I will have them treat you as well."

As he spoke, Steward Zheng turned his gaze toward the people present once again. "Great Master Yizhen has failed and was injured by the poisonous Qi. I wonder if anyone else would like to try?"

Hearing Steward Zheng's words, the crowd fell silent. They were well aware of Great Master Yizhen's methods, and yet, even he could not cure her and had been injured by the poisonous Qi. The others were even less inclined to step forward.

"Since no one else is stepping up, let me try. Although my Medical Skills are average, I have some ability when it comes to using and neutralizing poisons. There truly isn't much poison in this world that I cannot neutralize." Another old man stepped forward, volunteering himself.

"Are you the Poison Master Huo En?" Steward Zheng guessed.

"That's correct, I am Huo En. I know many people have prejudices against us Poison Masters, so if Steward Zheng trusts this old man, I can give it a try. If you do not, then forget it."

"This..." Steward Zheng hesitated; he could not make this decision on his own.

"I apologize, I truly cannot make this decision. I will call the Patriarch right now."

A few minutes later, the steward spoke again, "Mr. Huo En, the Patriarch trusts you. Please come with me."

This time, it seemed to take even longer. However, when Huo En came out, he looked dejected; evidently, he had also failed.

"Even a Poison Master cannot neutralize this poison? Does that mean the Zheng Family Young Miss is beyond saving?"

"It seems so. This Zheng Family Young Miss is truly unlucky to have contracted such an illness."

Just as the group was whispering amongst themselves, another middle-aged man stood up. This person was none other than the one from Medicine God Valley brought by Patriarch Wang Tiande.

"A bunch of frogs in a well. Just because you lack the ability to save someone, you think others can't either? There is no poison that my Medicine God Valley cannot neutralize."

"Medicine God Valley? He is actually from Medicine God Valley. Who on earth could have invited someone from Medicine God Valley, which possesses the number one Medical Skills in the world?"

"That's right, doesn't Medicine God Valley ignore worldly affairs and never leave Miao Jiang?"

Everyone was clearly aware of Medicine God Valley's reputation. This was only because they had always avoided the world; otherwise, their fame would be even greater. It was rumored that there was simply no illness that Medicine God Valley could not cure.

"Haha, naturally, he was invited by my Wang Family. This is Yao Feng from Medicine God Valley. He is one of the most outstanding members of Medicine God Valley's younger generation, and he is a strong contender to be the next Valley Master of Medicine God Valley." Patriarch Wang Tiande introduced him proudly to everyone.

Hearing Patriarch Wang Tiande's words, the crowd finally understood. They had all heard that Patriarch Wang Tiande's sister had married an Elder of Medicine God Valley, and the reason the Wang Family was able to rise rapidly to become one of the Four Great Families was closely related to Medicine God Valley.

Steward Zheng was also visibly stunned and looked at Yao Feng with some excitement. "I humbly request that Brother Yao go to the inner hall to treat our Young Miss. As long as you can cure our Young Miss, our Zheng Family is willing to become eternal friends with the Wang Family and Medicine God Valley."

"Fine, for the sake of the Wang Family, I will reluctantly make a move. Lead the way." Yao Feng's attitude was extremely arrogant, with his nose in the air, clearly not taking anyone present seriously.

Watching Steward Zheng lead Yao Feng to the inner hall, Xiao Yuchen frowned slightly but did not stop them.

As time ticked by, the people in the hall began to lose their patience. Although they did not know if the person from Medicine God Valley had cured the Zheng Family Young Miss, Yao Feng had been inside for the longest time.

Just as everyone was becoming restless, a burst of laughter came from inside. Steward Zheng and Yao Feng walked out, and in front of them was an old man around fifty years of age; it was the Zheng Family Patriarch, Zheng He.

"I apologize for keeping everyone waiting. I will now announce the results. Just a moment ago, Brother Yao Feng successfully woke my daughter. This Medicine God Valley truly lives up to its reputation."

"Although those present did not succeed, our Zheng Family has noted everyone's good intentions. I will prepare a small gift for each of you. However, as my daughter has just awakened, I have no time to attend to everyone, so please return home."

Seeing that the Zheng Family Patriarch had issued an order to leave, no one dared to stay, and they were about to rise and depart. However, at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out, shocking everyone.

"Is Patriarch Zheng certain that his daughter's illness is cured? Everyone has traveled a long distance to come to the Zheng Family just to treat the Zheng Family Young Miss. Even if the illness is cured, shouldn't you let us see her?"

"There are so many renowned physicians here; everyone could examine the Young Miss. What if it is merely a flash of lucidity before death, or perhaps you have been deceived?"

The person speaking was none other than Xiao Yuchen. How could he let the Wang Family get their way? Furthermore, he had long seen that this was a conspiracy.

"Bastard, who are you? Are you cursing my daughter? Whether my daughter's illness is cured or not, do you think I wouldn't know?"

Zheng He shouted angrily. For the sake of caution, letting everyone examine her would have been one thing, but the key issue was that Xiao Yuchen had actually said his daughter was experiencing a flash of lucidity before death—how could he not be filled with Life Qi?

Unlike Zheng He's reaction, when Yao Feng heard Xiao Yuchen's words, his body visibly trembled, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes, though he quickly hid it. However, how could such a small action escape Xiao Yuchen's Divine Sense?

"Patriarch Zheng, please do not be filled with Life Qi. My tone was a bit harsh just now. However, the reason everyone failed to neutralize the poison for your daughter is simply because they are specialized in Medical Skills and are not very knowledgeable about using or neutralizing poisons. But whether your daughter's illness is truly cured—you should at least let everyone see her. That way, we can be convinced." Xiao Yuchen spoke up again.

Hearing Xiao Yuchen put it this way, Zheng He's tone softened slightly. Indeed, these people were all famous experts, and having them conduct a consultation would not be a bad idea. His daughter was still very weak and needed recuperation; perhaps among these people, there was someone who knew a good method for recovery?

Thinking of this, Zheng He glanced at Yao Feng. Seeing that the other party did not seem to object, he nodded, "Fine, I will have my daughter come out to meet everyone. You may take the opportunity to examine her as well."
