Chapter 1038 Jiu You Huang Quan
However, fortunately, King Yan Song had excellent mental fortitude. He took a few deep breaths, drank some water, and calmed his nerves before beginning to prepare the poison. His movements were still a little stiff.
The actions of both sides sent shivers of fear through everyone present.
This was no longer just about victory or defeat; losing meant losing one's life.
Everyone hoped that King Yan Song could use his seasoned experience to defeat Park Jin Guk, the King of Korean Medicine.
This was likely the thought on everyone's mind.
Meanwhile, Chen Xuan's gaze was fixed on Park Jin Guk, his expression filled with keen interest.
Playing with poison?
How interesting!
Chen Xuan had never engaged in such a pastime before, but he was very familiar with poisons.
Once, Chen Xuan had encountered a poison master from overseas, who was known as the greatest poison master in the world and was exceptionally skilled at poisoning people. He had once poisoned an entire tribe to death, and Chen Xuan happened upon him later.
Chen Xuan had clashed with that self-proclaimed greatest poison master, and the latter had been defeated by Chen Xuan. In the end, he surrendered himself and was imprisoned in an underwater jail.
"Mr. Chen, do you think King Yan Song can win?"
Lu Shao asked nervously.
Although he didn't think much of King Yan Song, King Yan Song currently represented the face of traditional Chinese medicine in Jiangnan Province. If he lost, wouldn't the prestige of Jiangnan Province's TCM be utterly disgraced?
Elder Lu also looked at Chen Xuan, seemingly wanting to hear Chen Xuan's opinion.
Chen Xuan glanced at the medicinal herbs in King Yan Song's hand and then at those in Park Jin Guk's hand. He said calmly, "King Yan Song is bound to lose this time!"
"Ah?"
The gazes of Lu Shao and Elder Lu both sharpened.
Elder Lu couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Chen, why do you say that?"
As Chen Xuan was about to explain, Song Ran, who had appeared behind them at some unknown time, stood with her hands on her hips and angrily declared, "Kid, don't talk nonsense. My grandpa won't lose!"
Chen Xuan shrugged and said, "If you don't want your grandfather to lose his life, surrender early. Otherwise, he might not be able to detoxify and will perish."
As he spoke, he glanced at the herbs in Park Jin Guk's hand.
Tsk, tsk, if these herbs were combined, their toxicity would be absolutely explosive!
Song Ran's eyes flashed with fury upon hearing this, her pretty face contorted. "If you curse my grandpa again, I'll kill you!" wap.kanshuwu.net
Perhaps due to worry for King Yan Song, her face was also flushed.
"Tch..."
Chen Xuan shrugged, appearing indifferent.
Lu Shao continued to press, "Mr. Chen, what exactly is going on?"
Chen Xuan explained, "Park Jin Guk truly lives up to his title as the King of Korean Medicine. He's quite capable. He used thirty-three of the most common medicinal herbs on the table, and by varying the proportions and mixing their properties, he's concocted the Jiu You Huang Quan, which ranks seventh among the world's ten great miraculous poisons!"
"Jiu You Huang Quan..."
Lu Shao frowned, looking bewildered. He had never heard of it.
However, Elder Lu's eyes flashed with a hint of alarm, and he said in shock, "It's Jiu You Huang Quan!!"
With that, he also stood up abruptly.
Chen Xuan cast another glance at Elder Lu, surprised that Elder Lu recognized Jiu You Huang Quan.
Lu Shao quickly asked, "Grandpa, what is Jiu You Huang Quan?"
Elder Lu took a deep breath and explained in a low voice:
"Legend has it that there are ten great poisonous medical organizations in the world. Each organization has a consecrated sacred medicine, which, in simpler terms, is a poison."
"And this Jiu You Huang Quan is the sacred medicine consecrated by the Huang Quan organization. It is said that this poison is swift and deadly upon contact with blood, and it was once used to assassinate many generals on the battlefield. Eventually, the Huang Quan organization was annihilated by the Chinese military."
"I never expected that the renowned Jiu You Huang Quan would appear here."
As he spoke, Elder Lu felt his scalp tingle.
"Good heavens, doesn't that mean King Yan Song is going to lose? If he can't detoxify, he won't see tomorrow's sun..."
Lu Shao stopped mid-sentence, unable to even imagine it. If he lost, not only would it be embarrassing, but it would also disgrace Chinese medicine.
"Slap!"
Song Ran became agitated and slapped Lu Shao across the face, "Shut up!"
"Why are you hitting me?"
Lu Shao, covering his face, looked aggrieved.
It wasn't him who had said it.
"You're talking nonsense, all nonsense..."
Song Ran didn't care about anything else. Her eyes were red with urgency, and she quickly denied it, as if denying it could prevent it from happening.
Halfway through her statement, she fell silent and instead looked at King Yan Song below the stage, her hands clasped in front of her chest, praying for King Yan Song's safety.
Chen Xuan also glanced at the stage. It was indeed Jiu You Huang Quan, but to be precise, it was a simplified version of Jiu You Huang Quan, vastly different from the true sacred medicine.
After all, how could the sacred medicine consecrated by the Huang Quan organization be so easily replicated?
However, this low-grade sacred medicine was more than enough to deal with this competition.
At this moment, Park Jin Guk, the King of Korean Medicine, had finished preparing the Jiu You Huang Quan. All the herbs were ground into powder and placed on a piece of yellow paper.
He smiled and looked at King Yan Song, "Have you finished preparing yours?"
"Wait for me a bit longer!"
King Yan Song's face darkened.
Damn it, he was usually preparing medicines for treating illnesses and saving lives. This was his first time preparing poison, and he had almost accidentally concocted the Ten Perfect Tonic Pill!
"Don't say a bit longer, you can take even half an hour."
Park Jin Guk said mockingly.
King Yan Song's expression also turned grim, but he didn't say anything. After all, his first priority was to quickly prepare his poison and then decisively slap the opponent's face.
Unfortunately, King Yan Song's usual research was on how to treat and detoxify patients. When had he ever studied poisons?
Finally, King Yan Song, racking his brains, finished preparing his poison and looked at Park Jin Guk with full confidence, "Park Jin Guk, I've finished preparing mine!"
In front of King Yan Song lay a pinch of slightly purplish powder.
Looking at the powder, Park Jin Guk let out a few scoffing laughs. He had at least ten methods to detoxify this so-called poison.
"Come on, you can taste the potency of the poison I've prepared."
King Yan Song said, not knowing his own fate.
Park Jin Guk wasn't in a hurry. He smiled and said, "King Yan Song, do you know the name of the poison I've prepared?"
"Oh? What is it?"
King Yan Song's heart leaped with joy. He didn't expect this fellow to be so arrogant as to tell him the name.
Famous poisons all had their well-known names. If he knew the name, then detoxification would be much simpler.
"Jiu You Huang Quan...."
Park Jin Guk, the King of Korean Medicine, was very confident. He believed that this name alone was enough to intimidate King Yan Song and make him wet his pants.
As the saying goes, ignorance breeds fearlessness. King Yan Song was too learned. In his youth, he had even read a book called "Miraculous Poisons of the World."
Jiu You Huang Quan was prominently listed!
Its potency and the difficulty of its antidote were simply unimaginable.
Upon hearing those four words, King Yan Song's expression froze, and he looked at Park Jin Guk in disbelief, "How is that possible? How could you possibly concoct Jiu You Huang Quan!"
"Don't believe me? Fine, then let's just try it and see?"
Park Jin Guk was extremely confident. After speaking, without any further ado, he grabbed the poison King Yan Song had prepared and put it into his mouth, then placed his own poison in front of King Yan Song.
After swallowing the poison, Park Jin Guk's face instantly turned pale.
Then, Park Jin Guk grabbed a few herbs and quickly concocted an antidote, taking it with water.
Meanwhile, King Yan Song stared at the Jiu You Huang Quan before him, his face ashen with despair...
