She was not strikingly beautiful, but her figure was good, and she was pleasing to look at.
Step by step, she walked slowly onto the high platform, beside Bai Zihe.
"Master Bai, you can do it!"
The girl smiled at Bai Zihe.
Bai Zihe looked at her deeply and smiled faintly, "I will."
"Since the person has been found..."
The host began to give instructions for the next phase: "Then you two shall begin."
Tension filled the air once again.
This time, the detoxification was undoubtedly much more tense and dangerous than the previous one.
"Pop—"
Pu Changhao directly took out a porcelain bottle, opened it, and handed it to the girl: "This is the poison I prepared. Drink it directly."
The girl glanced at Bai Zihe, then gritted her teeth and drank it all.
Pu Changhao immediately let out a sinister chuckle.
On the other side.
Bai Zihe took some of the medicinal herbs from the site, simply crushed, mixed, and prepared them, then handed them to the volunteer from Da Han Ming Country.
He also drank it without hesitation.
The next second.
The girl and the volunteer both succumbed to the poison and collapsed on the stage simultaneously.
As the girl fell, her face contorted, her brows tightly furrowed, clearly in great pain.
This poison…
was clearly extraordinary.
Bai Zihe immediately went to the girl's side.
He first took her pulse, but the pulse was very strange.
So.
Bai Zihe asked the girl, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
The girl's voice was very weak: "My stomach, my stomach hurts…"
She was wearing a pure white T-shirt on her upper body.
Bai Zihe pulled up the T-shirt slightly, revealing her fair and clean belly.
However.
It quickly turned red, light red, deep red, blood red!
Moreover, the surface of her belly was constantly rising and falling, looking terrifying.
Bai Zihe frowned, about to say something, when another change occurred.
At the girl's navel, an extremely strange pattern suddenly appeared, black in color and quite frightening.
After appearing, the pattern began to spread continuously in all four directions: up, down, left, and right.
"Swish!"
Bai Zihe immediately took out the Yin-Yang Seventy-Two Needles and inserted them around the girl's navel.
Suddenly.
The speed at which the patterns spread slowed down considerably.
However, this was only a slowdown, not an arrest. It was necessary to quickly understand the medicinal properties of the poison and detoxify it.
Otherwise, the girl would never escape danger.
"Ah—"
"It hurts, so much pain, my stomach…"
The girl suddenly cried out, cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.
She clutched her stomach with both hands, curling into a shrimp-like shape, looking extremely pained.
Bai Zihe's brows furrowed deeply.
This was not the end.
The area on the girl's belly where the patterns had just appeared gradually changed again, forming a facial ulcer.
A facial ulcer, with the navel as its eye.
And as the girl breathed, her navel contracted continuously.
It looked as if…
the eyes of the facial ulcer were blinking, which was truly horrifying.
The most terrifying part of all.
As the patterns spread, the facial ulcer also grew larger, eventually forming a complete facial ulcer.
And it continued to spread outwards, outlining a second one.
Not good!
Bai Zihe muttered to himself, and again took a few golden needles and inserted them around the facial ulcer.
But to his surprise.
The golden needles could only slow down the formation of the facial ulcer, not completely arrest it.
"Do you really think your acupuncture is invincible?"
On the other side, Pu Changhao glanced over and sneered, "This time's poison…"
"Your needles cannot possibly resolve it!"
"Moreover, I don't fear telling you…"
At this point, Pu Changhao chuckled sinisterly: "The silver needles will not only fail to detoxify but will further stimulate the poison, penetrating into the various organs of the abdomen."
"Once the poison spreads to the bone marrow…"
"Or enters the brain…"
"Even if the Great Emperor of the Nine Heavens descended, he would be unable to cure her!"
"But if you don't use golden needles to restrain it, she will surely die once three facial ulcers appear on her belly!"
"Hahaha…"
At this, Pu Changhao couldn't help but laugh triumphantly.
He had prepared for this medical convention for a long time and was thoroughly prepared.
What he was now using on the girl was one of his ultimate moves for Da Xia, and it was not something Bai Zihe could easily resolve.
Many people were frightened, shocked, and angry.
Shocked that the poison was indeed so potent that even Master Bai could not deal with it for a while, leaving him to watch the girl suffer.
Angry that Pu Changhao of Da Han Ming Country was indeed malicious, likely having prepared such a poison long ago.
Truly despicable and shameless!
"Certain death?"
Bai Zihe glanced at him and sneered disdainfully, "In my hands, there is no such thing as certain death!"
"I will detoxify her…"
"Without any antidote, and without silver needles, I can easily resolve it."
As soon as he said this, it was like a clearing mist.
Many people's expressions on the scene brightened considerably.
Only Pu Changhao, with a look of disdain, said contemptuously, "Stop pretending. If you have the ability, then cure her."
"Don't end up failing to cure the poison and instead killing the person, that would be a huge joke."
This poison…
He had acquired it from Miao Jiang at a great cost.
To say it wasn't poison, yet it had the properties of poison; to say it was poison, yet it wasn't entirely poison.
In this world, those who could resolve it with their own skill…
Pu Changhao estimated, were no more than five fingers.
And Bai Zihe was definitely not among those five.
Bai Zihe ignored him.
He looked at the girl and asked gently, "Do you… believe me?"
The girl was very weak, but she looked at Bai Zihe firmly and then nodded heavily: "Yes."
"Good, then rest assured, it will be fine."
Bai Zihe comforted the girl, then said to Fang Yongzheng, who had been wanting to speak but hesitated, "President Fang, I have a task for you."
President Fang immediately stated, "Master Bai, just tell me!"
"Go find some insects, like grasshoppers, ladybugs, praying mantises, bees, anything like that. Also, prepare a pot and some fish oil."
Bai Zihe thought for a moment and instructed.
President Fang quickly said, "Okay, I'll go right away!"
With that, he left.
Hearing these names, the girl's face turned even paler.
Bai Zihe knew she might be afraid, so he said, "Don't worry, I am fully confident in curing you."
"These things…"
"Are just catalysts, don't have any psychological burden."
The girl's expression visibly improved.
"Pretending…"
Pu Changhao sneered when he heard Bai Zihe's words.
Bai Zihe paid him no mind and waited for Fang Yongzheng to bring the items.
A few minutes later.
President Fang brought all the necessary items.
"Master Bai, just tell me what to do now, I won't falter!"
Bai Zihe shook his head: "No rush. Pour all the oil into the pot and heat it up. I'll have a use for it later."
These words…
undoubtedly made people anxious!
Because Bai Zihe was not acting, the second facial ulcer on the girl's belly had already formed and was very clear.
Even…
the outline of a third facial ulcer had begun to appear.
But since Bai Zihe had spoken, Fang Yongzheng couldn't say much and could only heat the oil pot as instructed.
"Ugh…"
"Mmm, it hurts—"
The intense pain made the girl groan, beads of sweat almost forming a continuous stream on her forehead, her hair already soaked.
"Endure a little longer, it will be fine soon."
Bai Zihe comforted her while cleaning her with alcohol.
He also used golden needles to help alleviate her pain.
Suddenly.
The patterns of the third facial ulcer on her belly became clear.
"Now!"
Bai Zihe's gaze sharpened, and he began to give orders.
"President Fang, throw all the insects you just caught into the oil pot and fry them!"
