Joan Holman took a sharp intake of breath, "Did Mr. Steel really get poisoned with ’Nine Deaths and One Life Scatter’?
I have only seen this ’Nine Deaths and One Life Scatter’ in an ancient book, and I have never seen anyone actually capable of concocting it!"
Seeing Lionel Yeager identifying what poison Mr. Steel had by just checking his pulse, several doctors present were greatly shocked!
It seems that this young man does indeed have considerable abilities!
Cyril Clancy shook his head, "I haven’t even heard of this poison, no wonder it couldn’t be detected."
Joseph Hans also spoke up: "I’ve never seen it either, this poison is really unique, it’s actually concocted from ten different alive herbs."
Lionel Yeager stated confidently, "The one who poisoned him must be an expert in using poisons!"
Joan Holman looked at a few doctors and asked, "Do you know who poisoned Mr. Steel?"
A doctor shook his head, "Last evening, Master said he was going out to meet a friend. After he came back at night, he suddenly fell down."
"Master, can you resolve this poison?"
Joan Holman immediately asked.
The others also looked expectantly at Lionel Yeager.
"Of course I can, it’s just a little bit troublesome."
Lionel Yeager replied, and then said, "I will detoxify Mr. Steel now."
With that, Lionel Yeager waved his right hand, recalling all the silver needles stuck in Mr. Steel’s chest!
Then, Lionel Yeager mobilized the true qi inside his body, used the "Heavenly Road Nine Needles", and shot out one needle after another!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
One silver needle after another flew out, accurately piercing into the major acupoints on Mr. Steel’s chest!
Soon, the nine silver needles were inserted into the nine key acupoints on Mr. Steel’s chest!
After they penetrated the acupoints, the nine silver needles started to vibrate intensely, and even emitted dazzling golden light!
Seeing this scene, everyone present was stunned!
Even Joan Holman, Cyril Clancy, and Joseph Hans, who had seen Lionel Yeager use "Heavenly Road Nine Needles" before, were still extremely shocked when they saw it again!
They actually saw the phenomena of One Energy, Two Instruments, Three Talents, Four Images, Five Elements, Six Paths, Seven Stars, Eight Trigrams, Nine Palaces, and Ten Directions through these "Heavenly Road Nine Needles"!
As for the few doctors present, they were even more dumbfounded, they were shocked to the extreme!
"What kind of needle technique is this? It’s too magical?!"
"Indeed, I have never seen such a magical needle technique!"
Several doctors exclaimed in surprise.
"It is the ’Heavenly Road Nine Needles’."
"What?! Is... Is this the ’Heavenly Road Nine Needles’?!"
A physician was shocked, his face full of disbelief.
"Could it be the ’Heavenly Road Nine Needles’ that ranks first in East Nation’s Divine Needle Ranking?!"
Another doctor asked in a surprised voice.
Upon hearing Joan Holman’s affirmative answer, the several doctors present were so excited that their breathing even became hurried.
For anyone studying traditional medicine, being able to witness such legendary acupuncture skills would be an extremely honored event.
Especially the top-ranked "Heavenly Road Nine Needles"!
For a while, all the doctors present stared intently at the nine silver needles on Mr. Steel’s chest, even dared not to blink.
With the vibration of the silver needles, they saw a stream of foul-smelling black liquid flowing out along the silver needles.
Moreover, as the black liquid overflowed, the inky color on Vernon Steel’s face dissipated, gradually restoring his complexion. The patch of black on his chest also faded.
Time was slowly passing.
Once the nine silver needles stopped vibrating, Lionel Yeager waved his hand, withdrawing the needles.
Yeager put the silver needles back into the box and said, "All right, Mr. Steel’s poison has been dispelled."
"Is that all it took?!"
A lead physician asked in awe.
Cyril Clancy replied, "Since Master said that it’s resolved, then it must be."
As soon as he finished speaking-
Vernon Steel slowly opened his eyes.
"My God, he’s really okay!"
"This is unbelievable, it took less than half an hour and Master has cured him!"
"Mr. Yeager’s medical skills are amazing, he’s like the reincarnation of Lucas Hodge!"
A few physicians echoed the sentiment, they admired Yeager wholeheartedly.
They now understood why River City’s Four Great Divine Doctors would call this young man their Master.
This young man possesses extraordinary medical skills, which make him worthy of being called the Master of River City’s Four Great Divine Doctors.
Vernon Steel looked bewildered at everyone and asked, "Master, Mr. Hefner, Mr. Cowell, Mr. Harvey, why are you all here?
Joan Holman replied, "Mr. Steel, if it wasn’t for Master’s intervention to dispel the ’Nine Deaths and One Life Scatter’ poison from your body, I’m afraid you would’ve been dead by now."
Vernon Steel quickly sat up and said, "Thank you, Master, for saving my life!"
"Mr. Steel, since you have acknowledged me as your Master, naturally I’d save you. There’s no need for gratitude."
Yeager waved his hand dismissively and then asked, "However, I’m very curious, who exactly poisoned you?"
Steel didn’t answer, but fell silent instead.
Cyril Clancy urged, "Come on, Mr. Steel, just say it!"
Joseph Hans said, "Mr. Steel, that person gave you the ’Nine Deaths and One Life Scatter’ poison, they clearly intended to kill you!"
Steel sighed deeply and said, "It was all my fault."
"How is it your fault?"
Joan Holman asked, puzzled.
Yeager and everyone else also looked befuddled.
Steel went on, "It’s a long story..."
Yeager said, "No problem, Mr. Steel. Take your time, we’re all ears."
Steel began to recount his tale, "When I was ten, a nomadic old traditional medicine practitioner said he was a descendant of the Mysterious Doctor Sect and thought I had good talent, so he took me in as a disciple of the Mysterious Doctor Sect. He taught me medicine and the arcane arts.
There was also a Senior Brother and Junior Sister studying under the old traditional medicine practitioner. Senior Brother’s name was Sheehan Dallas, and Junior Sister’s name was Steven Jordan.
We learned traditional medicine and arcane arts from our master, and we started developing a deep kinship.
But after a while, both Senior Brother Dallas and I fell in love with Junior Sister Jordan.
Then one day, both Senior Brother Dallas and I confessed our feelings to Junior Sister Jordan, but she chose me in the end.
As a result, Senior Brother Dallas became my enemy and left the sect. Before departing, he said he would seek revenge and return for my life someday.
For the next fifty years, Junior Sister Jordan and I never saw Senior Brother Dallas again.
But later on, there were rumors of a ’Poison Doctor King’ in the Traditional Medicine World, and we found out that it was indeed Senior Brother Dallas.
To my surprise, Dallas came to River City yesterday, and invited me to dinner.
I was very happy and agreed to meet him.
Little did I know, Dallas still held the grudge, and he poisoned the wine I drank, but I had no way to counteract the poison..."
Upon hearing Vernon Steel’s story, Yeager and the others finally understood the situation.
Yeager didn’t expect this old man to have such a melodramatic love-hate relationship in his youth.
