Chen Jie at this time also said, "Master, you should see to the patient first, I will explain some things to you later."
Doctor Bai nodded upon hearing this and approached Liu Song, following up with, "Have a few people help him up, let him sit up against the carriage, don’t let him lie down!"
While speaking, Doctor Bai felt his pulse.
His expression slowly turned grim, then he peeled back the wound on Liu Song’s chest, and his face grew even more troubled.
Doctor Bai gradually released the hand that was checking the pulse.
Liu Laoguai was nervously watching Doctor Bai and asked, "Doctor Bai, how is it?"
Doctor Bai frowned and said, "As for your son’s injury, how should I put it, he has sustained damage to his heart meridian, which should have been fatal, but he has taken a Tai Sui Pill that has kept him alive."
"Ordinarily, with the potency of the Tai Sui Pill, this injury could heal very quickly, in half a month he would be well, but now a new problem has arisen."
Liu Laoguai asked, "What problem?"
Doctor Bai replied, "The treasure sword that wounded your son was smeared with a fierce poison."
"The problem is, while the wound might heal easily, the poison is difficult to eradicate!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Master, look at my arm, it was also stabbed, but the poison doesn’t seem to be very strong!"
Hearing this, Doctor Bai turned to look at Chen Jie’s arm, noticing that Chen Jie’s left arm had swollen up.
Doctor Bai said, "Tear off your clothes, let me see."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie tore off his clothes, and Doctor Bai saw that the wound had turned black. He dipped a bit of the dirty blood and sniffed it, then immediately said, "Three Insects and Three Flowers Poison."
Liu Laoguai asked, "What is Three Insects and Three Flowers Poison?"
Doctor Bai paused slightly then explained, "The so-called Three Insects and Three Flowers is a combination of three poisonous insects and three poisonous flowers to make the poison. To detoxify, one needs to find the six corresponding insects and toxic flowers, otherwise, there’s no solution!"
After hearing this, Liu Laoguai looked at Chen Jie and asked, "Then he, too, must die from the poison?"
Doctor Bai replied, "Not necessarily for Jiu Si, the meridians in his body have already been sealed, and if the poison doesn’t reach the heart, the toxicity isn’t as strong. Jiu Si only needs to perform energy flowing exercises to force the poison out, and he should be fine."
"But your son’s case is different. The assassin’s sword directly pierced his heart meridian, which is only inches away from the heart. The poison was transmitted to the heart in an instant. Had it not been for a Tai Sui Pill holding onto his life, your son would have already met his demise."
"Ah, Doctor Bai, then is there any way to detoxify?"
Doctor Bai replied, "As I said, unless the corresponding six kinds of poisonous insects and flowers are found for treatment, there’s no cure!"
Liu Laoguai heard this and said, "Then what can we do? Doctor Bai, please think of a way, can he take more Tai Sui Pills?"
Doctor Bai replied, "Although the Tai Sui Pill is a miracle drug that can preserve one’s life, it does not detoxify and will be of no use."
"If the poison were in the arms, or some other place, perhaps there might be a cure. But this sword thrust into the heart meridian, it’s useless, unless the corresponding three toxic insects and three toxic flowers can be found."
Liu Laoguai said, "Then let’s find them. Doctor Bai, can you help this old man look for them?"
Upon hearing this, Doctor Bai gave a wry smile and said, "Guild Leader Liu, it’s not that I’m unwilling to help, but it’s really hard for me. There are thousands of poisonous insects and flowers in the world, and it’s extremely difficult to identify the correct ones. I, I can’t do it!"
"Moreover, if one of them is identified incorrectly, the consequences will be unimaginable. So, Mr. Liu, this matter is very difficult for me to assist with!"
Liu Laoguai frowned upon hearing this and looked towards Chen Jie.
Chen Jie slightly furrowed his brow, and at that moment Doctor Bai, sensing something fishy from the looks between Chen Jie and Liu Laoguai, coughed lightly and said, "Jiu Si, come over here."
Chen Jie was startled and quickly got up, saying, "Master."
Doctor Bai pulled him aside to a corner and said, "Jiu Si, what exactly happened today? These dead bodies on the ground..."
Worry was written all over Doctor Bai’s face.
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Master, don’t worry just yet. It’s , Nan Batian used Uncle Zhong as bait to force me..."
Chen Jie recounted the events, and after listening, Doctor Bai’s complexion changed drastically.
"This, you’ve gotten to such a point with Nan Batian?"
Doctor Bai looked at Chen Jie.
Chen Jie said, "Master, when one is in Jianghu, one cannot help oneself. Now it’s a matter of life and death between me and Nan Batian, so Master, I promised Liu Laoguai to save Liu Song and then form an alliance with him to fight Nan Batian together."
"This... You are betraying your gang!"
Doctor Bai said with a surprised look, to which Chen Jie replied, "Master, there’s no other way. If I don’t find a way out, I’ll only have a dead end."
"When things have reached this point, I can’t avoid moving forward even if I wanted to."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Bai looked at Chen Jie in a daze and couldn’t help but sigh, "Ah, how did it come to this, sigh~"
After sighing, Doctor Bai then said, "Jiu Si, go tell Liu Laoguai that I can cure his son!"
"Master! You can cure him?"
Doctor Bai sighed again and said, "Actually, it’s not that I can cure him, but my master can!"
Doctor Bai affirmed, "Yes, my master, Divine Doctor Anderson!"
Chen Jie exclaimed upon hearing this, "Then where is my Advisor?"
Doctor Bai replied, "He is currently at the Hubei Shennong Branch, about a five days and nights’ journey from here."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, "It’s so far, but alright, Master, tell me the address and I’ll send someone!"
Doctor Bai chuckled, "No, that won’t work. My master doesn’t see outsiders; it must be me who personally goes to find him."
"Ah, Master, can your body take such a journey for five days and nights?"
Doctor Bai replied, "No problem, though I’m old, such a distance is nothing to me. Besides, Liu Song’s body can’t delay, even with the Tai Sui Pill sustaining him. If he is not detoxified within seven days, he will surely die!"
