Murong Yan nodded, understanding Qin Hanchu's worries were reasonable.
"Yes, expedite the marriage between him and Yanran."
"I approve of this marriage."
In Qin Hanchu, Murong Yan saw value.
Setting aside his martial arts potential, the Guiyuan Zhenfa alone was worthy of the Murong family's attention.
"Yes," Murong Yuntian replied.
"Young friend, I have an impertinent request." Wang Jiuhan dispelled the arrogance on his face and spoke in a fawning tone.
Qin Hanchu smiled, "You wish to learn?"
Wang Jiuhan's old face flushed, "I can exchange medical knowledge with you, young friend."
"There's no need for mutual exchange. You can become my disciple."
"After three years as an apprentice, I will teach you."
Did Qin Hanchu's medical skills need to be exchanged with him?
This old fellow clearly wanted to freeload.
"Young friend, although you know the Guiyuan Zhenfa, it doesn't prove your medical skills are superior to mine."
"One must be humble and eager to learn, never complacent or arrogant."
"I teach you medicine, and you explain the Guiyuan Zhenfa to me. It's a win-win."
Wang Jiuhan's gaze was filled with displeasure as he said in a deep voice.
Qin Hanchu smiled, "The problem is, your medical skills are not necessarily higher than mine."
"What arrogant words."
"This old man has been famous for many years, am I inferior to a mere brat like you?"
Wang Jiuhan said angrily.
"Xiao Ning, do not be rude."
Zhao Meiqing seemingly reprimanded Qin Hanchu, but there was no blame in her tone.
Qin Hanchu looked at Wang Jiuhan and asked, "Doctor Wang, what is your reputation like in gambling?"
"What do you mean?" Wang Jiuhan asked.
"How about a wager?"
"If your medical skills can defeat me, I will not only teach you the Guiyuan Zhenfa, but I will also become your disciple."
"But if you lose to me, you must become my disciple, obey my commands, and never go against them."
Qin Hanchu said solemnly.
"You want to compete with Doctor Wang in medical skills?"
"Truly unaware of the immensity of heaven and earth."
Murong Yunhan sneered.
"Do you know you are inviting your own humiliation? Do not mention this matter again." Murong Yan was also startled. He hadn't expected Qin Hanchu to be so audacious.
The Guiyuan Zhenfa was so precious; losing it to Wang Jiuhan would be a huge loss!
Zhao Meiqing also quickly said, "Xiao Ning, don't joke with Doctor Wang!"
Wang Jiuhan burst into laughter. This was simply a godsend.
This was the Guiyuan Zhenfa. If he could master it, his status would be even more revered.
He might even enter the Dragon Alliance through this.
"Good, I accept."
"A gentleman's word is his bond."
"Since you've said it, you cannot take it back as a joke."
"Speak, how shall we compete?"
Wang Jiuhan quickly agreed, not giving Qin Hanchu a chance to back out.
"Doctor Wang, please don't take a child's words seriously."
"You have been famous for a long time, how can he compare?"
Murong Yan said.
Wang Jiuhan chuckled, "It's good that young people are ambitious. Of course, I must fulfill their wishes."
"Doctor Wang is right. A gentleman's word is his bond."
"Since I proposed it, I must fulfill my promise."
"How about we compete with poison?"
"You prepare poison for me to consume, and I will prepare poison for you to consume."
"Whoever can neutralize the other's poison wins."
Qin Hanchu said calmly.
"Xiao Ning, are you crazy? Don't joke with your life," Murong Yanran said anxiously.
The others were also surprised that Qin Hanchu proposed such a dangerous condition for the competition.
That was poison, extremely perilous.
What if they didn't resolve the poison in time and died?
"Are you sure? My poison can kill a person within ten seconds," Wang Jiuhan's expression turned ugly. He hadn't expected Qin Hanchu to be so unorthodox.
"After exchanging poisons, both parties will have ten minutes to analyze the composition of the poison."
"First, prepare the antidote, then consume the poison."
"It's inconvenient to compete here. Let's find a pharmacy so we can easily procure and refine the ingredients."
After speaking, Qin Hanchu walked directly outside.
"Good!" Wang Jiuhan was also in a difficult position. If he refused, others would think he was afraid.
Seeing Qin Hanchu's determination, the Murong family members had no choice but to follow.
"Mom, will Xiao Ning be alright?" Murong Yanran asked, following Zhao Meiqing.
Zhao Meiqing said with a solemn face, "There will be no danger to his life. After all, Doctor Wang still wants to obtain the Guiyuan Zhenfa from him."
Upon hearing this, Murong Yanran breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
Murong Pharmacy was a chain pharmacy under the Murong Group.
Everyone left Murong Yan's residence and came directly here.
Qin Hanchu placed a pill on the table and said, "This is the Bone-Corroding Pill. It uses eighteen types of poisonous herbs and the organs of thirty-six types of poisonous insects. After consuming it, the entire body feels as if ten thousand insects are gnawing at the bones, causing unbearable pain and itching. People often cannot endure the torment and commit suicide! By the way, its onset time is about ten seconds!"
Qin Hanchu's words caused Murong Yan and the others' expressions to change dramatically.
They hadn't expected Qin Hanchu to possess such a potent poison.
Wang Jiuhan also took out a pill and placed it in front of Qin Hanchu, saying, "This is the Drowning Pill. After consuming it, it feels like drowning, eventually leading to suffocation! Its onset time is five seconds. If the poison is not neutralized within twenty seconds, one will suffocate and die! Masters and Grandmasters can last longer, but if they cannot resolve it, they will still die!"
Murong Yuntian and the others watched Qin Hanchu and Wang Jiuhan with shock.
Physicians were truly a terrifying profession. They could save people, and they could kill people invisibly.
Either of these poisons was terrifying.
"Then let's begin."
"Yanran, help me time."
After speaking, Qin Hanchu picked up Wang Jiuhan's "Drowning Pill."
Simultaneously, Wang Jiuhan picked up Qin Hanchu's Bone-Corroding Pill.
Their actions were identical. They first analyzed the composition of the pills through smell, and then used their fingernails to scrape off a small amount of powder for careful observation.
Five minutes later, Qin Hanchu put down the Drowning Pill and then walked to the counter to start gathering ingredients.
Seeing Qin Hanchu begin to gather ingredients and prepare the antidote so quickly, Wang Jiuhan's eyes showed some eagerness.
Despite his eagerness, he dared not rush.
"Xiao Ning, don't be hasty." Murong Yan wasn't concerned about Qin Hanchu's safety; he just didn't want Qin Hanchu to lose the Guiyuan Zhenfa to someone else.
At this moment, Murong Yan had already regarded Qin Hanchu's Guiyuan Zhenfa as the property of the Murong family.
"Yes, there's still time to analyze," Murong Yanran said.
"No need. His Drowning Pill is not very complicated," Qin Hanchu smiled.
By the time Qin Hanchu had gathered the ingredients, the analysis time was up.
Meanwhile, Wang Jiuhan's brows were tightly furrowed.
There were still six or seven ingredients he hadn't been able to analyze.
If even one ingredient was missed, the antidote couldn't be made, let alone six or seven.
"Should I take a risk? Or give up?"
"If I give up, the outcome can be decided now."
"After all, I've already prepared the antidote," Qin Hanchu said with a smile.
"I've identified all the ingredients. Let's start boiling the antidote," Wang Jiuhan said, gritting his teeth, unwilling to admit defeat so easily.
