Chapter 173

"Let me prescribe a decoction that can detoxify the poison," said Wang Yao.

"Oh, that's lucky. I can witness my young friend's miraculous work again," replied Mr. Sang delightedly.

In the system's lattice, Wang Yao found that there were a few sprigs of antidote herb.

While alone in the room, Wang Yao started to prepare the decoction. He prepared an ordinary bowl of hot water and added a few pieces of verdant leaves which melted immediately into the water. This was a simple decoction to make.

Wang Yao brought the bowl of green liquid to the sickbed.

"Let him drink this."

Mr. Sang glanced at the bowl of green liquid; his eyes were full of anticipation.

After taking the decoction, the patient started trembling instantaneously.

"What's going on?"

"Be patient."

Urrggh. The patient who was originally lying on the sick bed started to vomit. As he was unable to get up and everyone was unprepared, the stench of the vomit permeated the place.

"This is...?"

"He has vomited a portion of the poison," said Mr. Sang. He was now more curious about Wang Yao's identity.

Whose disciple is he? Who can make decoctions with such miraculous effects? Unless he was from the long-buried lineage of the legendary King of Medicine?

The patient gradually recovered from the bout of vomit and stayed still.

"Let me take a look." Mr. Sang took the pulse and also unbuttoned the patient's shirt.

The unconscious Mr. Zhou's body had a lot of bruises. Upon closer inspection, the bruises were made by fists and palms.

Looking at this scene allowed Wang Yao to understand the martial arts and the pugilistic world a little better.

Mr. Sang took out a cloth pouch from the portable medicine box that he carried and unfurled it. In it laid a row of silver needles.

"Acupuncture?!"

Wang Yao's eyes brightened upon seeing the scene.

The path of medicinal knowledge was broad and profound and could be broadly classified into two categories—"Diagnosis" and "Treatment."

Diagnosis referred to the understanding of the patient's condition and discovering the source of the illness. Looking, hearing, asking, and diagnosing were among the various methods of diagnosis.

Treatment referred to the treatment of the illness by reducing the patient's pain and enabling the patient to recover his health. There were multiple methods to achieving this, such as massage therapy, acupuncture, decoctions, etc. In Wang Yao's current repertoire of treatment methods, he only possessed the knowledge of decoction. It was truly deficient.

Mr. Sang's recognition of the acupoints was very accurate; however, he pierced the needle very slowly. It was unlike what was described in movies or novels, where the needle was pierced into the skin very quickly. Mr. Sang pierced the abdomen area. It was very likely for the purpose of stimulating the internal organs since the accumulation of poison was the most in this area. After he pierced the silver needle through, he constantly rotated the needle.

Wang Yao observed the entire process extremely intently. If he wanted to become a true pharmacist, he needed to acquire acupuncture skills.
