"Achoo!"

Sitting in the car, Chu Nan sneezed violently.

The driver in front jumped in fright. "Mr. Chu, are you alright?"

This is an important person whom the young lady repeatedly instructed to treat well.

Outsiders might not understand, but as a trusted confidant, he knew all too well what kind of temper his young lady had.

No one in the entire Beijing social circle commands such respect from the young lady.

Although the other party looked a bit younger, he didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, given the young lady's attitude.

"fine……"

Chu Nan shook his head. He himself felt that the sneezing was a bit inexplicable, but he didn't pay any attention to it.

The driver soon drove the car to a house in the suburbs.

This courtyard is clearly not a residence, but rather a villa or similar structure, designed for tranquility.

Even so, it was still much more luxurious than the Xu residence.

As soon as Chu Nan got out of the car, Qian Xinya immediately came up to him, "Mr. Chu, I'm so sorry to have troubled you to come all this way."

"Where is the patient?"

Chu Nan didn't waste any more words and asked directly.

"This way, please."

Qian Xinya made an inviting gesture and then led the way into the courtyard.

The house looks peaceful from the outside, but inside it is heavily guarded and monitored.

It seems that things are mostly as Jiang Yingxue guessed.

In the end, Qian Xinya led Chu Nan to a room in the backyard.

As soon as Chu Nan entered, he smelled a strong aroma of Chinese medicine.

Then, lying on the bed was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He looked very unwell, his face was yellowish and pale, and he looked like he was terminally ill.

"You may all leave."

After dismissing the servants from the house, Qian Xinya respectfully asked Chu Nan to take her pulse.

Seeing that Chu Nan remained silent after making his move, Qian Xinya grew anxious. "Mr. Chu, can you heal him?"

"Can."

Chu Nan subtly withdrew his hand. "What did the previous doctors, including that Master Jiang, tell you?"

"There are all sorts of opinions, but only Master Jiang can say that he can extend my father's life. However, he did not say what disease my father had."

Qian Xinya looked somewhat helpless. If her father's illness were so easy to diagnose, the Qian family wouldn't have dragged it out for so long with their resources.

Didn't they say so?

Chu Nan didn't speak. In fact, when he saw Qian Xinya's father's expression, he had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

After taking her pulse, it was almost certain that Qian Xinya's father had been poisoned.

However, his poison is a bit strange. Judging from his pulse, he has already gone through several detoxification methods.

However, the root of the poison could not be eradicated, so each time the body was detoxified, it would feel better, but would soon deteriorate again.

The reason Chu Nan had remained silent was that he was looking for the source of the poison.

The result was somewhat unexpected; it was more like a poisonous insect than a poisonous root.

Yes, there is a poisonous insect inside Qian Xinya's father's body, which constantly releases venom and erodes his life force.

Most of the medicinal power was absorbed by the poisonous insects before it could be released after entering the body.

As the eldest son of the Qian family, his poisoning must be no simple matter, and we don't know what kind of family feuds are involved behind it.

What puzzled him was that if Master Jiang was a sorcerer, he should have been able to easily force the poisonous insects out.

Why are you still insisting on having Gan Xinya collect medicinal herbs?

Just as Chu Nan was pondering this, Qian Xinya asked, "Could it be that you, Mr. Chu, know what illness my father has?"

"It's not an illness, it's poisoning, but this news shouldn't be anything new to you."

Since Qian Xinya had undergone various detoxification methods, it meant that she already knew her father was poisoned rather than sick, so Chu Nan didn't beat around the bush.

"But every time I finish detoxing, the tests show that everything is completely cleared, but it always relapses not long after, right?"

Qian Xinya didn't mention being poisoned before because she wanted to test Chu Nan's abilities.

After all, Chu Nan's medical skills had only been demonstrated on himself. Although they were amazing, they were ultimately just some external injuries.

Now that Chu Nan has definitively diagnosed poisoning, there's no need for her to test him further. "That's right, so we can only use the medicine to keep Father alive."

"Detoxification is not difficult, but it requires medicinal herbs."

Qian Xinya's face lit up with joy. "I've searched all over Great Xia, and the warehouses are full of medicinal herbs. What kind of herbs do you need?"

"Even if I told you, you might not know. Just take me to the warehouse."

"This way, please."

The two soon arrived at the warehouse, which, despite its name, was quite large, comparable to the cellars of a winery abroad.

The place is filled with ancient medicinal herbs, some over a hundred years old, and even a handful of semi-divine herbs similar to dragon's beard root.

However, very few of them can repair the soul; only a few can play a supporting role.

This would make it difficult to achieve Chu Nan's goal.

Seeing that Chu Nan remained silent, Qian Xinya asked, "Mr. Chu, is it that we don't have the medicinal herbs you need here?"

"It's not that I don't need it, it's just that I'm missing a key ingredient."

Chu Nan said without batting an eye, "The reason your father's poison keeps recurring is because there is a poisonous worm inside his body."

Qian Xinya was taken aback. "Poisonous insects?"

This news has never been mentioned before.

Chu Nan nodded. "That's right. There are three ways to deal with this poisonous insect. First, fight poison with poison, kill it, and then let it be naturally excreted through the body's metabolism."

"Second, use your inner energy to force it to leave your father's body."

"Third, prepare a medicinal bait to make it leave your father's body on its own."

Qian Xinya thought for a moment, "These three methods must all have different side effects, right?"

"The first method, using poison to fight poison, requires experimentation. Given your father's current physical condition, he definitely can't withstand such treatment."

Chu Nan explained, "The second method is the simplest, but it carries the risk of the poisonous insect exploding. If the poisonous insect can explode, then forcing it with true energy will not only fail to force it out, but will also cause it to explode, completely severing your father's life."

"So the most suitable option right now is the third one: to make a medicinal bait that will make him leave your father's body on his own."

Chu Nan pointed to the medicinal herbs in the storeroom, "You have a lot of medicinal herbs here, which can basically provide all the main ingredients needed for medicinal bait, but you are still lacking the medicinal guide."

Qian Xinya exclaimed excitedly, "Whatever herb you need, as long as it has a name and actually exists in reality, I will definitely be able to find it for you!"

"A specific name isn't needed, just that it's a spiritual herb. This poisonous insect was clearly planted by a Gu master, and spiritual herbs are the most tempting thing for them, but you don't have any spiritual herbs in your storeroom."

Chu Nan paused for a moment, then continued, "I don't know what the situation is like in the capital, but you've been to Hai Nei County, so you should know that spiritual herbs aren't easy to find. At most, you can only find semi-spiritual herbs like dragon beard root."

Qian Xinya's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "A spiritual herb? Perhaps we couldn't find it before, but we definitely can now!"
