I Have Medicine

Chapter 112

The immediate state of affairs was like this: Cang Yu and the others felt fear as they looked helplessly upon their own clan children die.

Although it was possible to perish anytime and anywhere along the martial path, it was very difficult to enter the Qingyun Sect. Without being able to make any contributions or gain any sought-after benefits for their clans, when they weren’t even able to slay a single Earth Ghost before succ.u.mbing to poison... It was too pathetic and unworthy.

Yet, Gu Zuo scampered over and it wasn’t for the sake of watching how they’d die.

He quickly saw that this person was on the brink of death. He reached out a hand and grasped his calf —

Only a gushing sound was heard. The place where the leg was torn open suddenly spurted out a stream of black blood.

At the same time, the poison’s traveling speed slowed a little and the black qi on that martial artist’s face also dimmed a bit.

— One shouldn’t look at how this was only a little bit. At the very least, this showed that this method was useful!

Maybe, this person could be saved?

Gu Zuo was basically giving medicine to a dead horse. He thought that since that black liquid couldn’t encroach upon a pharmacist’s palm and automatically drew away, maybe the poison of this Earth Ghost was the same?

In any case, based on the situation just now, this poison was one that couldn’t encroach upon his body. Thus, this attempt was only an attempt. If it was successful, then it would be two lives saved!

In actuality, it really did have a bit of an effect.

Merely, by relying on Gu Zuo, a single individual, he might only be able to look after one other person.

Gu Zuo said at once: "Princess Yaomin, quickly come and help!"

This single call woke up all the stunned martial artists.

Cang Yu promptly set down Princess Yaomin, and she quickly arrived in front of the poisoned child of the royal family. Her lily-white hands grabbed the area of the wound in the manner she learned from Gu Zuo.

Sure enough, after Princess Yaomin used some strength, black blood spurted from the wound, which similarly slowed the poisoning of this child of the royal family.

She let out a sigh as she watched Gu Zuo’s actions and copied them.

In fact, Gu Zuo was also just trying his luck. Gu Zuo directly rubbed his hand along the trousers of that Duanmu Clan’s martial artist, going straight to his hip before stoping and going back down.

Fortunately, the poison had only spread to about an inch above the knee. If it travelled from the lower abdomen into the internal organs, it would be really troublesome — Because the method Gu Zuo adopted was one that used "pushing and pressing".

Gu Zuo used his two hands and pushed at the edge of where the poison had spread, and started pressing down. From the wound on the calf, black blood gurgled out.

Only, how much strength would a pharmacist have? Whether if it were Gu Zuo or Princess Yaomin, looking at the traces of the poison’s spread from above and below the knee, after getting close to parts of the abdomen, there wouldn’t be any way to persist.

If they wanted to continue the bleeding, it would only be after giving the injured person a knife. However, after giving a knife, while the blood would flow a bit once more, it would quickly stop if an artery wasn’t cut open. In addition, because of the toxin, it would quickly clot the blood and make it difficult to flow.

This was another difficult problem.

Gu Zuo furrowed his brows. Then, his eyes shined.

First, he used a hand to push the person’s blood. When his other hand unfolded, two jade bottles appeared in the center of his palm. He raised this hand and threw one over to Princess Yaomin: "Princess, there are Snowy Ginseng Pills inside. Give that young master a dose!"

After he finished speaking, he also opened the other bottle. Gu Zuo poured out a Snowy Ginseng Pill and stuffed it into this injured person.

The medicinal effects of the Snowy Ginseng Pill were extraordinary. Although the one that Gu Zuo took out was only high grade, this kind of pill was famous for quickly replenishing the blood. Otherwise, how could it have received such popularity?

In just an instant, the Duanmu Clan’s injured person sensed a warm feeling flowing through his body. That warm feeling travelled through his veins, and his face, which was originally sickly, gained a little color.

The wound’s location immediately and continuously seeped with blood.

But this wasn’t enough. Gu Zuo followed those veins and abruptly used his two palms to press down!

Pu!

The place which originally had a line of blood seep out now had a gout of black blood spurting out.

At this moment, the spreading black qi’s poisonous marks had faded away by more than half! And the final traces of the blackened poison were only gathered around the wound itself.

When Princess Yaomin saw this, she also had faith. She promptly used the Snowy Ginseng Pill on her own clansman, and similarly used the pressing method. She followed the veins, and squeezed the blood manufactured from the Snowy Ginseng Pill out of the wound!

— Her speed needed to be fast. Because the Snowy Ginseng Pill made blood for the whole body, if this chance wasn’t captured, the blood would instead flow back due to the blood’s production speed. On the contrary, the poison would be carried throughout the whole body, worsening the injured person’s poisoning.

After capturing this opportunity, one could use the unconventional method of the movements of a pharmacist’s palms to detoxify the injured person!

About fifteen minutes pa.s.sed. The fingers of two pharmacists incessantly pressed down, and that final bit of black blood was forced out of the wound at last. The remaining blood was wholly red.

Thus, they didn’t push anymore and only waited for a little while, seeing that the Snowy Ginseng Pill’s usefulness was almost over. Then, they each took out a Rejuvenation Pill and fed it to the two wounded.

This time, the wound recovered very quickly, and the puny lives of these two wounded were saved.

Once this matter was resolved, Gu Zuo’s brows were already beaded with sweat. On the side, Princess Yaomin was also drenched with perspiration.

However, this wasn’t saying that it was due to them spending much strength for this little matter. It was mainly because they were too nervous and their minds were worn down — After all, a moment of carelessness would mean a loss of life. Their pressure was truly not small.

Yet, no matter how exhausted, what should’ve been a loss of life was now merely a vitality injury. As the supplemented consumption of medicinal pills could let one continue moving about, this was a great fortune within the middle of misfortune.

For other martial artists, if the pharmacist’s reaction wasn’t that fast or if they didn’t have the Snowy Ginseng Pill, this blood replenishing pill with G.o.dly effects, they would still presumably die from mortal wounds.

After the two wounded stood up, they hastily expressed their thanks to the two pharmacists.

Everyone looked at Gu Zuo, their eyes carrying a grateful expression.

They clearly understood that if it weren’t for Gu Zuo’s bold conjecture and prompt response, perhaps the two would’ve died several times over while waiting for them to think of something!

Truly, it was too difficult for the Cangyun Empire, this kind of nation, to send these disciples into the sect... One less death was one less death.

Gu Zuo wasn’t too used to being looked at by so many people. After forcing a few laughs to express his modesty, he leaped to Gongyi Tianheng’s side.

Tianheng faintly smiled, and reached out a hand to ruffle his hair: "Ah Zuo, well done."

Gu Zuo’s smile suddenly became brilliant.

Once more, he went to collect the Ghost Nucleus and the Earth Ghost corpse. And once more, he climbed back up onto his dear big brother’s back.

Cang Yu looked at everyone while carrying Princess Yaomin, and exclaimed: "Alright, let’s be on our way."

How long had it been since entering West Mountain that they suffered these matters?

Unwittingly, the hearts of numerous martial artists already had their hearts covered with a dark haze.

Merely, since they arrived already and they knew the way to resolve the toxin, they needed to summon up their courage to strive deeper into West Mountain no matter what.

Following the ever increasing encounters with Earth Ghosts, it was basically Gu Zuo’s psychic power that found them out in advance. After that, he would tell Tianheng, who would quickly set out and dispose of them.

Because Cang Yu and the others didn’t have this cheat tool of Gu Zuo’s, they simply didn’t have the means to kill Earth Ghosts and could only follow Gongyi Tianheng. As they guarded against Earth Ghosts, they also did their best to raise their experience.

Gradually, the martial artists realized how they should keep their guards up.

The reason why Earth Ghosts were called Earth Ghosts was because they could go through the ground un.o.bstructed. One or two could be hidden in any places that had earth. It was only the moment before attacking that they revealed their killing intent. At any other time, they were hard to sense.

However, because they only had several kinds of basic attacks, apart from ambushes, an individual’s strength wasn’t very high. They were weaker even when compared to an equivalent realm martial artist. So long as one was able to discover its tracks, slaying it wasn’t difficult.

It needed to be mentioned that martial artists had to be one hundred and twenty percent careful. Each and every step on the ground needed to utilize footwork so that they were prepared to dodge at any moment. At the same time, their reactions had to be extremely fast. Moreover, during an opportunity that they sensed killing intent, they needed to act quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly!

Just like this, a little more than an hour pa.s.sed. Cang Yu and the others, who were originally very intelligent, had also discovered the way of attacking.
