"Young man, are you saying you can cure Old Brother Qi's poison?"
Elder Sun's tone was filled with obvious disdain and mockery.
Perhaps in terms of cultivation, he was far inferior to Chen Xiao, but in terms of medical skill, he wouldn't take this young brat Chen Xiao seriously.
Luo Shu further taunted, "Kid, setting aside whether you can cure this poison, if you can even identify what poison Boss Qi has contracted, I'll consider you impressive!"
Chen Xiao let out a scoff, completely ignoring Luo Shu.
As for Luo Shu's "I'll consider you impressive," Chen Xiao was even more dismissive.
Qi Qingfei said with an embarrassed expression, "Senior Brother Luo, the poison my father contracted is the Heart Refining Dragon's Saliva. Mr. Chen was the one who identified it. Have you forgotten?"
In front of these two, she still felt too embarrassed to directly call Chen Xiao 'Master,' so she could only call him 'Mr. Chen.'
Upon hearing this, Luo Shu also felt a wave of awkwardness, but he still stubbornly retorted, "So what if he could identify it? Fine, I'll consider him impressive, but what does that matter? If he could cure your father, wouldn't he have done so already?"
This person's thick skin was truly remarkable. Chen Xiao felt it would be a disservice to himself if he didn't thoroughly put him in his place.
Chen Xiao declared proudly, "Indeed, I couldn't cure it before, but now, I have a hundred percent certainty!"
Elder Sun was stunned by this statement but quickly dismissed it as Chen Xiao boasting.
Luo Shu, on the other hand, scoffed, "You say you can cure it, so you can? Kid, stop bragging, be careful you don't bite off more than you can chew. Do you know that even my master can't cure the Heart Refining Dragon's Saliva? What makes you dare to speak such arrogant words? Do you know who my master is?"
Chen Xiao's brow furrowed. This person wasn't young, so why was he so immature in his speech and actions?
"Who your master is seems to have no bearing on whether I can cure the poison, does it?"
Chen Xiao's single sentence made Luo Shu's face turn red.
He gritted his teeth and shouted, "You brat, you are truly ignorant and fearless! Since that's the case, let me tell you, my master is Sun Buzhou, known as the 'Heaven-Defying Divine Doctor'!"
"Huo!"
Chen Xiao feigned shock, then his expression changed, and he said coldly, "Sorry, I haven't heard of him."
Qi Qingfei was so amused she almost laughed out loud. Seeing Chen Xiao so at ease, her worried heart also settled considerably.
This indicated that Chen Xiao truly had the confidence to cure her father's poison.
Luo Shu was infuriated by Chen Xiao, "Kid, are you deliberately looking for trouble? You haven't even heard of the great name of the Heaven-Defying Divine Doctor Sun Buzhou. He is one of the three great national medical masters remaining in this era. If you don't even know this, you claim to be a doctor?"
"Moreover, for the past ten years, my master and I have traveled through a hundred thousand mountains, discovering thousands upon thousands of medicinal herbs. In this world, no one understands poisons better than my master. If even he cannot cure a poison, then absolutely no one can!"
Luo Shu spoke with great animation, praising his master as unparalleled in heaven and earth, the most formidable.
Chen Xiao, however, impatiently picked at his ear, "Are you finished talking? If you're done, I'm going to start curing Brother Qi."
"You..."
Luo Shu's voice faltered, leaving him speechless.
This kid was truly impervious to reason. All his previous words seemed to have been spoken in vain.
At this moment, Elder Sun waved his hand and said, "Luo Shu, stop talking. Let him try. Whether he's boasting or not, we'll know in a moment!"
Luo Shu snorted, "Kid, I'll see how you make a fool of yourself later!"
Chen Xiao treated the two of them as if they were farting and unhurriedly took out a long, narrow box.
Upon seeing this box, Elder Sun was instantly stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"This is..."
When Chen Xiao opened the box, and several wisps of black smoke emerged,
Elder Sun almost wept. He trembled and said, "Nine Dragon Coffin, this is actually the Nine Dragon Coffin!"
Luo Shu was also dumbfounded, his expression blank. He asked with a trembling voice, "Master, is this the legendary Nine Dragon Coffin that can cure all poisons?"
Elder Sun glared at him, "Are there other Nine Dragon Coffins in this world?"
Luo Shu was reprimanded like a grandchild and dared not speak.
Elder Sun couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder this child dared to say he could definitely cure the poison. It turns out the long-lost Nine Dragon Coffin of legend is in his hands."
Qi Qingfei, not understanding the significance but sensing its importance, asked, "Uncle Sun, what is the Nine Dragon Coffin? Can my father be saved?"
Elder Sun said, "The Nine Dragon Coffin is a divine artifact passed down from the legendary ancient Shennong. With the Nine Dragon Coffin, all poisons can be cured. But this is just a legend. Today is the first time I've seen the true form of the Nine Dragon Coffin with my own eyes, so whether it can cure your father's poison is still unknown!"
Elder Sun did not make any definitive statements, lest Qi Qingfei be greatly disappointed if the detoxification failed later.
Luo Shu, however, said dismissively, "I think it's mostly fake. The Nine Dragon Coffin is a legendary item. There's no consensus on whether it even exists in this world. And even if it does exist, what right does this kid have to possess such a legendary divine artifact!"
Qi Qingfei gave Luo Shu an annoyed glance, her face filled with dislike. She completely ignored him and turned her attention to Chen Xiao.
The black smoke emanating from the Nine Dragon Coffin coiled around Qi Tianhu, resembling nine soaring black serpents.
Qi Qingfei felt a gust of cold wind blow past her, chilling her to the bone, causing her to instinctively hug herself.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the nine wisps of black smoke began to retract.
The nine black serpents, as if they had eaten their fill, let out satisfied burps and returned to the box.
Once all the black smoke had retracted into the box, Chen Xiao quickly closed the lid and carefully put it away.
"Alright, your father's poison has been cured."
Chen Xiao said, looking at Qi Qingfei.
Before Qi Qingfei could respond, Sun Buzhou eagerly stepped forward, "Young man, forgive my presumption, but may I ask, what you just used, was it the legendary detoxification artifact, the Nine Dragon Coffin?"
Sun Buzhou was so excited he couldn't contain himself, and even his address to Chen Xiao became much friendlier.
Chen Xiao spread his hands, "Yes, haven't you both been discussing it for a long time?"
In fact, the detoxification process of the Nine Dragon Coffin required nothing from Chen Xiao, so he had heard all the previous conversations.
The reason he hadn't spoken was simply that he didn't want to get involved.
Elder Sun's old face flushed, and he felt utterly ashamed!
At this moment, Luo Shu said, "Master, you don't need to be disheartened. This kid used the Nine Dragon Coffin, which is cheating. Even if he wins, it's an unfair victory!"
Chen Xiao was utterly bewildered. What did he mean by an unfair victory? Who was he competing with?
Luo Shu's next sentence almost made Chen Xiao spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Moreover, such a divine artifact as the Nine Dragon Coffin should be held and used by someone of high moral standing. Master, that person can only be you!"
