Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 97 Poisoning (First Order)
The best village in the world.

In order to put out the fire, people from all over the village, inside and outside, ran everywhere to fetch water, and the village was in chaos.

The fire started in the kitchen of the guest house.

Living in the guest courtyard, in addition to the guests who came to serve as judges, there are also four contestants who were selected through the ring showdown today.

But at this moment, two of the four selected contestants were poisoned and fell into a coma, with their lives in danger;
The other two had already passed away and went to the immortal mountain to grind beans overnight.

The two people who were poisoned and fell into coma were Li Xunhuan's apprentice Ye Kai and He Wentian's apprentice Zhang Yinxian.

At this time, the two of them were placed in a bedroom and received treatment from the manor's guest official, Sai Bian Que, the "number one doctor in the world."

As masters, Li Xunhuan and He Wentian were watching by the side, waiting for the result of the competition with Bian Que at any time.

Just from Sai Bian Que's furrowed brows, one could tell that the situation of the two people on the bed was quite bad.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard and Shangguan Haitang walked in quickly.

"Sai Bian Que, how are the two young men doing? Are they all right?"

Sai Bian Que let go of his hand that was taking the patient's pulse, first sighed, then shook his head, and then, under the nervous faces of the three people, he whispered his diagnosis.

"This poison is so fierce that it has already penetrated deep into the lungs. Even I can only suppress the toxicity temporarily. If you want to completely detoxify it, you may have to find someone else."

When these words were spoken, the three people in the room were shocked at the same time.

You know, Sai Bian Que is already the most skilled doctor in the world's number one village, and even the imperial doctors in the palace may not be able to match his medical skills.

Such a powerful person now says he can't detoxify? !

Li Xun Huan was so agitated that he could not help but cough repeatedly: "They... cough cough... what kind of poison was it that infected them?"

God always likes to torture the unfortunate people, and this is vividly reflected in Li Xunhuan.

In this world, although he was lucky enough not to meet Long Xiaoyun and was able to save his cousin's wife from being taken away by a bull, he has been childless for many years.

To this end, Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin traveled all over the world, looking for famous doctors, hoping to treat their infertility, but they were never successful.

After searching everywhere in vain, they could only accept an apprentice, and the lucky one chosen was Ye Kai.

The couple not only taught him all their martial arts, namely the 'Unique Skills of Flying Knives' and the 'Treasure Mirror of Loving Flowers', but also poured into him the parental love that they had not given up for many years.

It can be said that although they are called master and apprentice, they are actually no different from parents and son.

"According to my observation, the two young men were poisoned by snake venom!"

"Snake venom?!"

Shangguan Haitang asked doubtfully, "If it is snake venom, the No. 1 Manor in the World should have a cure..."

"Of course it's not ordinary snake venom!"

Sai Bian Que said: "This poison is extremely rare. Even I have never seen it in my many years of medical practice."

"Even the snake venom that you have never seen before..." The three frowned when they heard this.

He Wentian pressed the issue: "With your ability, can't you use the herbs in the manor to test the toxicity and prepare an antidote?"

"Yes! But it will take time, and they can't hold out that long..."

There are so many types of snakes in the world, so there are hundreds or thousands of snake venoms that can be produced.

Even though Sai Bian Que had been practicing medicine for many years and had rich experience, he had not encountered all kinds of snake venom. It was normal for him to encounter one or two difficult symptoms.

I just didn't expect that my luck would be so bad this time.

"Can't we try using the method to cure other snake venoms?"

Sai Bian Que shook his head: "If I'm not wrong in my diagnosis, this snake venom should be a compound venom mixed with the venom of many venomous snakes. If you rashly use ordinary methods to treat it, it is likely to cause more serious consequences."

"…How serious is it?"

"At the very least, you will become a disabled person from now on, at the worst, you will die instantly!"

so serious? !
The three of them looked horrified at the same time, and looked at the two people on the bed, becoming even more worried.

"Is there no other solution?"

Sai Bian Que thought for a moment and said, "Many years ago, I participated in a 'Wanji Medical Conference'. If we can find one of the 'experts' at the conference, the lives of these two people may be saved." "Experts? Who are they?"

Faced with the questioning of several people, Sai Bian Que had to answer truthfully: "In terms of pharmacology, there are Qianxue Guming and the old man from the frontier; in terms of the use of poisons and detoxification, there are Zhi Ping Su and Hu Qingniu; in addition, Xinghua Jun is good at guiding qi with needles, Shen Gu Wen Huang is good at using Gu, Ping Yizhi is good at surgical operations, and Wan Chunliu is good at medicinal baths..."

These people were all well-known experts in medicine and poisons in the martial arts world. After hearing their names, the three of them had already believed them for the most part, but distant water could not quench immediate thirst after all.

"How long can the two of them hold out?"

"With my medical skills, even if I use all my strength, I can only hold out until noon tomorrow at best."

The three of them couldn't help but be shocked: "We are in such a hurry?!"

Sai Bian Que sighed and said nothing more.

He Wentian clenched his fists when he saw this, and turned to look at Shangguan Haitang: "Master, do you have any clues about the person who poisoned me?"

He was temporarily unable to do anything about the poison in his beloved disciple's body, so he could only target the person who poisoned him, and maybe he could get the antidote from him.

However, Shangguan Haitang also shook her head regretfully: "Not yet..."

"But there aren't many people in the martial arts world who can use poison, especially snake venom, to the point where even Bian Que can't cure it, right?"

Li Xun Huan suddenly spoke up, reminding Shangguan Hai Tang, "It suddenly occurred to me that the No. 1 Manor in the World has received quite a few cases of 'someone nearby has been poisoned' recently. Perhaps there is a connection?"

It is actually still far-fetched to link the poisoning of Ye Kai and Zhang Yinxian to the unknown snake venom case, but this is the only clue now.

"But now, there is more trouble than just this."

Shangguan Haitang said in a solemn tone: "The other two people selected from the arena today are already dead."

The three people in the room were shocked at the same time: "Dead?! How did he die?"

"He was blinded and stabbed between the eyebrows and died."

"prick?"

Shangguan Haitang nodded: "The weapon used by the other party is an embroidery needle!"

"Their bodies were lying in front of the storehouse of Tianxia No. 1 Manor. Judging from the traces of fighting at the scene, the biggest suspect who killed them is the rumored Embroidery Thief."

In the martial arts world, few people use weapons like embroidery needles. The most famous one is Dongfang Bubai of the Sun and Moon Sect, but he has no reason to personally take action against two young martial arts masters.

Apart from Dongfang Bubai, the second most famous person is the 'Embroidered Thief' who has committed multiple thefts, robberies, and blindness cases in the past two months!
If there had not been the fire tonight, the servants might not have noticed the bodies of the two extras until tomorrow. Similarly, they might not have noticed the poisoned Ye Kai and Zhang Yinxian until tomorrow.

By that time, I'm afraid both of them would have already passed away.

"Is there anything missing from the warehouse?"

"A lot of treasures were indeed lost, but in comparison, what is more suspicious now is why those two people appeared at the door of the warehouse in the middle of the night, and why they fought with the person who was suspected to be the Embroidery Thief."

There must be something fishy going on. Now that the person is dead, it’s not easy to investigate.

"All four of the selected people were killed tonight. This recruitment meeting has to end here."

"Obviously, the other party's actions of poisoning, arson, theft, and murder tonight are aimed at Hulong Villa, and they want to prevent this recruitment conference from going ahead."

"And judging from the time and the method used to commit the crime, there were at least two people who did it!"

Shangguan Haitang made a brief analysis and then said, "For the matter on that side, I have temporarily asked the three seniors Lei Shou, Shi Hanchen, and Jian Jingfeng to help investigate the case. The two seniors should just take care of their beloved disciples first and don't worry about it."

"Shouldn't we ask Zhang Jinjiu to investigate this kind of case?"

"Unfortunately, I just asked him to go out for work yesterday. However, the situation here is indeed more urgent now. I have just sent a pigeon to urgently recall him."

The "getting things done" that Shangguan Haitang mentioned actually meant investigating Lu Ping's background.

Since Shangguan Haitang said there was no need to be distracted, the two of them said no more. However, facing the situation before them, they were really helpless.

At this moment, Sai Bian Que spoke up: "If you don't have any ideas, I might have one!"

"Oh? What's your idea?"

Sai Bian Que stroked his beard and said, "This fire has already attracted many people from the capital, and there are many people with sophisticated means among them!"

"Maybe one of them has a way to save people!"
