With that, Lionel Yeager turned his head and asked the crowd, "Would you like to see Mr. Donnavan’s prowess in concocting poison?"
Everyone nodded in response.
Although they didn’t like Sheehan Dallas much, they had to admit that his abilities to poison and detoxify were indeed impressive.
Sheehan Dallas nodded and said, "Alright, let’s have the third round then!"
Then, Sheehan Dallas walked towards the medicine cabinet, began to select and grab herbs, and placed them on the Medicine Wrapping Paper.
Meanwhile, Lionel Yeager, having dressed up, watched Sheehan Dallas grabbing medicines with interest.
The audience also started enjoying the spectacle.
Sheehan Dallas had grabbed ten kinds of medicinal materials and said, "I have prepared mine, kid, it’s your turn."
As the saying goes, laymen watch the fun, while experts watch the way.
Joan Holman, Cyril Clancy, Joseph Hans, and Vernon Steel, as well as the physicians present, all observed.
Sheehan Dallas had actually selected the ten most toxic herbs from their medical hall.
Vernon Steel knew clearly that their medical hall had more than a thousand different herbs.
It was astonishing that Sheehan Dallas could select the ten most toxic herbs from these thousand herbs in less than ten minutes.
The key was that these ten herbs did not counteract each other but rather complemented and enhanced their overall toxicity several times over.
Lionel Yeager naturally noticed this as well, so his respect for Sheehan Dallas increased a bit.
Joan Holman quickly reminded, "Master, you should also hurry up to select and grab your herbs."
Lionel Yeager nodded, then walked towards the medicine cabinet and began to select his herbs.
In less than five minutes.
Lionel Yeager had picked three herbs and then threw them onto the Medicine Wrapping Paper, "I have chosen mine."
Jacob Conroy and the others looked at the three herbs Lionel Yeager had chosen and were dumbfounded.
"Master, are you sure you didn’t just randomly pick these three herbs?"
"Yeah, Master, these three herbs don’t have any toxicity at all!"
Joan Holman and Cyril Clancy both voiced their concerns.
Vernon Steel and Joseph Hans also had strange expressions on their faces, thinking that Lionel Yeager might have given up on the competition?
Even the other physicians present thought so.
Sheehan Dallas’s face darkened, and he said angrily, "Kid, if you don’t want to compete, just forget about it.
But why are you treating this third round so perfunctorily? Are you looking down on me?"
Lionel Yeager said, "Mr. Donnavan, I have absolutely no intention of looking down on you.
I carefully chose these three herbs, and their toxicity is definitely more overbearing than yours.
After all, it’s not just about having a large variety of poisonous herbs or a high level of toxicity that makes a poison powerful.
Sometimes, purely combining a few seemingly ordinary herbs can produce a highly toxic effect."
Sheehan Dallas sneered, "I’m looking forward to having a good experience then!"
Vernon Steel ordered the medical hall worker, "Hurry up and decoct the medicine!"
The medical hall workers nodded in agreement and then took the herbs to the backyard.
Everyone waited quietly.
Over half an hour later.
Two workers brought two bowls of medicine soup.
One worker said, "This bowl of medicine soup is Mr. Donnavan’s."
"This bowl is Mr. Yeager’s."
Another worker also added.
Lionel Yeager walked over, picked up the medicine soup Sheehan Dallas had prepared, and drank it in one gulp.
Sheehan Dallas also showed no weakness, picked up the medicine soup Lionel Yeager had prepared, and drank it in one gulp.
Just a few minutes after Lionel Yeager had finished drinking the medicine soup.
His face turned red and green, and his exposed skin did the same.
"The poison’s acting up!"
Joan Holman exclaimed.
Everyone looked at Lionel Yeager, waiting for him to detoxify.
Without any hesitation, Lionel Yeager immediately pinched several silver needles and inserted them into the nine acupuncture points on his chest.
The nine silver needles shook violently after being inserted.
In less than ten minutes.
Threads of black qi floated out along the silver needles and dissipated in the air.
After detoxifying, Lionel Yeager put away the silver needles, "Mr. Donnavan, being able to concoct such a poison in a short time from a limited selection of herbs, you truly deserve the title ’Poison Doctor King’!"
"It seems there’s no poison in the world that could take you down."
Sheehan Dallas said admiringly, "However, kid, although your detoxification abilities are quite impressive, your poisoning abilities seem to be rather ordinary.
You said that the poison you concocted with those three herbs is more overbearing than mine, but why haven’t I reacted at all yet?"
However, just as his words left his mouth!
Sheehan Dallas suddenly let out a scream of agony, feeling an intense, drilling pain all over his body.
Unable to detoxify in time, Sheehan Dallas collapsed on the ground, his whole body twitching.
With a look of terror on his face, he was obviously in great pain, and he felt as if he was about to die.
Joan Holman couldn’t help but exclaim, "My God, how can the three non-toxic herbs combined together have such a strong toxicity?!"
Vernon Steel quickly said, "Master, it seems Mr. Donnavan can’t take it anymore, please save him!"
Lionel Yeager’s face remained calm, "Don’t worry, he’ll be fine."
Time slowly passed by.
In just over ten minutes.
Sheehan Dallas opened his mouth and spewed out a mouthful of black blood.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked!
Was this old fella going to die of poison?
Just when everyone was uneasy.
Sheehan Dallas, seemingly unharmed, climbed up from the ground and bowed deeply to Lionel Yeager, saying, "Thank you, young man, for dispelling all the toxins in my body. I am deeply grateful!"
The whole audience gasped.
"Wasn’t this old fella just poisoned? Why is he all right now?"
"He said this young guy helped dispel all the toxins in his body, what’s going on?"
The audience was very puzzled.
While everyone was perplexed.
Sheehan Dallas looked at Lionel Yeager with admiration and said, "Young man, I finally understand.
You deliberately activated all the toxins within my body during the first two rounds of the competition.
In this final round, you used the poison concocted from these three herbs to completely resolve the toxins in my body through a process called fighting fire with fire.
Now, all the hidden toxins in my body have been completely dispelled, and I feel as light as a feather."
After a pause, Sheehan Dallas continued, "Although these toxins wouldn’t affect me on a day-to-day basis, eventually they would have fully erupted, and by then, I’d be a goner!
Young man, both your medical skills and character far surpass mine. I willingly admit defeat in this competition!"
Only after hearing Sheehan Dallas’ words did the crowd finally understand.
Cyril Clancy exclaimed, "Master is truly amazing! He used the competition as a way to dispel this old fella’s hidden toxins!
Amazing, truly amazing!"
