Martial Master

The process of this treatment was a hidden affair. Other than the three of them, it was impossible for anyone else to know about it unless Qin Chen informed all the doctors and alchemists who had diagnosed Elder Xu Bo about the situation.

However, this was simply an impossible task.

Moreover, even if Qin Chen had consulted all the alchemists, it would be useless because some of the pills involved were concocted by Elder Xu Bo himself, and no one else would know about them.

But now, Qin Chen knew all this so clearly, as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes.

It was simply sensational.

Qin Chen shook his head slightly, "In fact, Elder Xu Bo, the issue you have is not a major problem. However, after such a treatment process, the Tianchan Huagu San within your body has truly taken shape. The materials contained in these pills all have elements of the Tianchan Huagu San, combined with the reasons related to your Qi Sea and martial arts, gradually forming an invisible and potent poison. To inflict such a terrifying toxin on someone must be the work of a poison expert."

Elder Xu Bo and the others couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

If what Qin Chen said was true, then the other party's schemes were indeed horrifying, using his injuries to gradually lead him toward his ultimate demise.

"But what you mentioned earlier about the konjac powder, what’s that about?" Elder Xu Bo frowned and asked.

"This is the key point of the matter." Qin Chen said solemnly, "The Tianchan Huagu San concocted by the other party is actually incomplete, lacking a type of medicinal guide to prevent it from being detected as a toxin. That guide is the konjac powder. The poison must frequently contact the konjac powder to be effective; otherwise, the toxins in your body will dissipate little by little. Clearly, the other party has administered konjac powder to you, causing the toxins in your body to deepen continuously, and your injuries have become increasingly severe."

"But once someone comes to treat you, due to the lack of the medicinal guide in your body and the separation between the toxins and the guide, they will be unable to detect that you have been poisoned, even if it were a peak sixth-grade alchemist."

As Qin Chen explained, Xu Bo and the others were completely stunned.

So it was this way?

Xu Bo couldn't imagine that he had not fallen ill but had been intentionally poisoned, and the methods of poisoning were so subtle and terrifying.

"Impossible... how could I harm my master?" At this moment, Wang Zhong muttered to himself, disbelief written all over his face. He angrily looked at Qin Chen and said, "Stop talking nonsense. What konjac powder? What Tianchan Huagu San? You're just making it all up. Tell me, what exactly are your intentions?"

Wang Zhong let out a roar and charged at Qin Chen.

"Stop."

Xu Zheng coldly shouted, preventing Wang Zhong, his eyes flashing with cold light.

Although what Qin Chen said was bizarre and strange, for some reason, Xu Zheng felt seven to eight parts of it were believable.

"Wang Zhong, what is that scent on you?" Elder Xu Bo also looked at Wang Zhong, lowly inquiring.

"Master, I..."

"Speak!"

"This fragrance of rouge should be from Yu Rou." Wang Zhong's face turned red as he said.

"Yu Rou?" Elder Xu Bo and Xiao Ya were taken aback. "Are you talking about the disciple Yu Rou under Elder Wu Ruifeng?"

"Yes, Master. After you fell ill, Junior Sister Yu Rou was very worried. I often had to gather medicine for you, and I couldn't manage it alone, so Junior Sister Yu Rou often helped. Thus, we became familiar over time. The rouge scent on me should be from her." Wang Zhong said with a flushed face.

"Hehe, what a loyal disciple. Your master is gravely ill, yet you still have the leisure to be involved with another woman." Qin Chen sneered.

Wang Zhong was furious, "Brat, what nonsense are you spouting? Master, you must believe your disciple. How could I harm you? Junior Sister Yu Rou was only concerned about your injuries; don't trust this guy."
