Chapter 31 Fighting Fire with Fire
For a moment, the surroundings became quiet; you could hear a pin drop.

Suddenly, Chi Ying broke the tense atmosphere and said urgently, "Old Li, didn't I tell you last time? Xiao Yu doesn't know that ghost doctor."

Li Chongbai didn't believe it and looked at Nan Yu eagerly, asking again.

"Xiaoyu, do you know the Ghost Doctor Changming?"

Nan Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, a look of doubt on her face. "Dean Li, is this really that important?"

Li Chongbai stared intently into her eyes, trying to find a clue. "Changming was an old friend of mine, but he passed away two years ago. I saw the words 'Changming' engraved on your silver needle, so I asked out of curiosity."

Nan Yu said softly, "The silver needles were a gift from someone else."

Li Chongbai looked into her eyes, which were clear and without any impurities, and it was clear that she was not lying.

He looked disappointed, but quickly masked it with an awkward smile, interrupting her.

"I'm really getting senile. When I saw you just now, I thought I saw Changming and mistook you for Changming's disciple."

“Look closely now. Changming’s disciple is ten years older than you and doesn’t have the surname Nan. You can’t possibly be his disciple. I’ve mistaken you for someone else.”

After saying that, he didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he lowered his eyes and looked at her wound again.

"Xiaoyu, you said that acupuncture and herbal medicine can achieve a complete cure. How exactly is it done?"

Nan Yu's eyes flickered slightly. She pursed her red lips, then smiled and pointed to several acupoints with her right hand. "Perform acupuncture on the acupoints for one hour every day, then soak them in the medicinal solution for ten minutes to speed up healing. Finally, apply the medicine until fully recovered."

Li Chongbai wrote down the acupoints she pointed to one by one and found that they were all for clearing blood vessels, preventing damaged nerves from dying, and maintaining their activity.

"Do you have the prescription? Would you mind letting me see it?"

Nan Yu took out her phone, opened her notepad, and started typing with one hand.

Within two minutes, a prescription appeared in front of Li Chongbai.

"Use these medicines." Li Chongbai took them and saw that the medicinal materials were all readily available and very affordable. The effects were mostly to relax muscles and tendons, reduce inflammation and relieve pain.

Each ingredient is fine on its own, but when used together, they create a drug incompatibility that can produce a highly toxic substance in the body.

He asked, puzzled, "Xiaoyu, using these together can cause anything from mild poisoning and vomiting to life-threatening conditions. Can this really cure it?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Ying, who was standing nearby, widened her eyes and said with great anxiety, "Old Li, are you sure you're not mistaken? How could Xiao Yu possibly harm herself?"

Nan Yu explained, "Grandma, Dean Li wasn't mistaken. Boiling these medicines together makes a poisonous soup."

"But they can fight poison with poison, keeping the nerves in my arm active, so there will be no impact after I recover."

Upon hearing this, Chi Ying frowned even more deeply, her worry deepening. "But it's poisonous. What if it harms your body..."

Nan Yu gave her a reassuring smile, "Grandma, everything will be alright, I know what I'm doing."

Snapped!
Li Chongbai suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Brilliant! Brilliant!"

Chi Ying was startled and looked at Li Chongbai in confusion, "Old Li, what's wrong?"

Li Chongbai didn't answer her, but instead looked at Nan Yu with a gleam in his eyes and full of expectation.

He spoke in a kind tone, even with a hint of pleading, "Xiaoyu, could you let me treat your hand using your method?"

"If you don't want to, then you can let me watch each time you treat yourself!"

Seemingly afraid that Nan Yu would refuse, he added another sentence.

"Or, you name your price, I'll give you the money, and you just let me see how you perform acupuncture once."
