Ji Yi’s body not to have any issues if the wandering soul hadn't been found yet."No worries. Ji Yi's body is very healthy now, just like a normal person!" Xiao Yusheng smiled and said, satisfied that...Chapter 264: Corpse Poison

"Doctor Xiao, Doctor Xiao...... We are from the Armed Police Platoon. Our platoon leader has been injured! He asked us to invite you over!"

Hearing someone in the room, the person outside urgently shouted.

"What" When Xiao Yu heard what was said outside, his face changed dramatically and he exclaimed. He hurriedly walked to the door and opened it.

Because of eating the ginseng, after a night of absorption and cultivation practice, although he had not fully recovered, there wasn't much impact on his normal movement.

"Where is Brother Zhang"

Xiao Yu opened the door to find three armed police officers standing outside. Looking around and not seeing Zhang Dahan, Xiao Yu asked.

"Doctor Xiao, the platoon leader is still at the Armed Police Platoon right now! Not only our platoon leader, but several others have been injured!"

Hearing Xiao Yu's question, one of the armed police officers quickly replied.

"Wait a moment while I get my things!" After saying this to the soldiers, Xiao Yu rushed back inside to grab his medical kit.

Xiao Yu picked up his medical kit and was about to leave when he suddenly paused. He took out the wooden box that contained the 50-year-old wild mountain ginseng and put it in his medical kit. Since he didn't know how serious Zhang Dahan's injuries were, bringing this item might be useful.

Although Xiao Yu’s physical movements weren’t greatly affected, his mental state wasn’t very good yet, so he decided not to drive himself and had the soldiers take him to the Armed Police Platoon in their jeep.

The soldiers were driving a military jeep. With sirens blaring, they sped towards the Armed Police Platoon.

When they arrived at the Armed Police Platoon, the gate was already open and their car drove straight into the courtyard without stopping.

"Squeak..."

The sound of tires skidding on the road echoed loudly in the quiet night as Xiao Yu's jeep made an emergency brake, coming to a stop in front of a small building marked with a red cross.

"Doctor Xiao, he is inside. Please come with me!" After getting out of the car, one of the armed police officers said to him and quickly walked into this building.

This armed police officer led Xiao Yu deep into the first floor corridor and into a large room about 200 square meters in size.

Xiao Yu casually glanced around the room and saw that there were over ten beds inside, with sick patients on seven or eight of them. Another twenty or so people stood within the room, looking anxious.

Zhang Dahan was sitting on one of the patient beds, facing away from the door.

"Elder Brother, what’s wrong" When Xiao Yu saw Zhang Dahan with his back to the doorway, he couldn’t help but call out. Hearing Xiao Yu's voice, Zhang Dahan slowly turned around.

When Zhang Dahan turned around, Xiao Yu immediately noticed a thick layer of dark gas covering his face. This darkness rendered him unrecognizable.

Poisoning—this was the first thing that came to mind when Xiao Yu saw this.

"Third Brother... You’ve come, your illness has just gotten better, but you still have to make a trip!" Zhang Dahan greeted Xiao Yu with an extremely uncomfortable smile and said.

"Elder Brother, don’t talk for now. Lie down quickly!"

Xiao Yu hurriedly said; from the dark gas on Zhang Dahan's face, he could tell that Zhang Dahan had been poisoned severely, but to his surprise, Zhang Dahan was still conscious.

Most likely this was related to his inner strength.

Xiao Yu quickly ran over to Zhang Dahan. As he passed by the sick beds, he noticed that everyone there also had a thick layer of dark gas covering them. Some even had their hands and feet turned black, but they were all unconscious unlike Zhang Dahan who was still conscious.

Reaching Zhang Dahan's bedside, Xiao Yu quickly grabbed his wrist to feel for his pulse.

A moment later, he let go of Zhang Dahan’s wrist with a frown. He then turned around and tore open Zhang Dahan’s shirt.

Zhang Dahan’s upper body had turned black except for the area around his heart. Seeing that his heart was still normal in color, Xiao Yu sighed in relief; it seemed like Zhang Dahan's inner strength had protected his heart meridian.

Xiao Yu looked at Zhang Dahan’s shoulders and saw four long wounds there, resembling those inflicted by an animal’s claws.

These injuries were the source of Zhang Dahan’s poisoning; the blood that flowed from them was black. A foul smell emanated from these wounds.

Even though Xiao Yu currently saw everything in a monochrome world, his keen senses still allowed him to distinguish this information.

Xiao Yu used his finger to dab some of the black blood and brought it close to his nose. The foul smell made him want to vomit, but he didn’t show any change on his face; then he licked a bit with his tongue. When Xiao Yu’s tongue touched this black blood, his expression changed drastically.

"Corpse poison... It's indeed corpse poison!!!" said Xiao Yu, looking extremely uneasy.

When he first smelled the foul smell earlier on, Xiao Yu had some suspicions but since he had never seen real corpse poison before, he was only familiar with it through Judge Qin’s memories. He couldn’t be sure until he tasted a bit of it himself to confirm his guess.

Xiao Yu searched Zhong Kui's memory for a treatment method for the corpse poison and hurriedly took out his medical box.

Xiao Yu took out golden needles from the medical box, closed his eyes to concentrate briefly. The rapid ride just now had caused his already exhausted spirit to become slightly disoriented.

"Third Brother, don't worry about me yet; go help them first! I can still hold on, but they might not make it!" Zhang Dahan said anxiously when he saw Xiao Yu taking out the golden needles and preparing to perform acupuncture on him.

"Go and take off their shirts as well."

Xiao Yu didn't turn around and instructed the soldiers standing nearby.

As he spoke, his hands did not stop. He inserted one needle after another into Zhang Dahan's body, using both the Life-Sustaining Five-Element Needles and Hua Tuo’s Nine Needles.

The Life-Sustaining Five-Element Needles were placed on Zhang Dahan's major organs, followed by sealing the surrounding area of his wounds with Hua Tuo’s Nine Needles to prevent the poison from spreading further.

After finishing the acupuncture for Zhang Dahan, Xiao Yu then proceeded to the bedsides of the others.

"Go and find me some more sets of needles for acupuncture quickly!"

Xiao Yu said to a doctor nearby. The doctor immediately left after hearing his instructions to fetch more needles from elsewhere.

"Yes, Doctor Xiao. We have them here! I'll get them right away!" the medic hurriedly replied before rushing out of the room.

A few years ago, they had recruited a new soldier who was well-versed in traditional Chinese medicine through family teachings; this soldier was then absorbed into their medical team. They even prepared several sets of golden needles for him. Although the soldier left last year when he returned home, these items were kept behind.

Having said that, Xiao Yu started taking the pulse of the soldier next to Zhang Dahan and tore open his trouser leg after completing it; there were multiple wounds on this soldier's lower leg, with one entire leg turning black from poisoning.

Xiao Yu handled him similarly to how he had treated Zhang Dahan: first using Life-Sustaining Needles to stabilize the life before blocking major acupoints around his wound with Hua Tuo’s Nine Needles to prevent further spread of toxins.

Continuing to treat each soldier one by one, Xiao Yu realized that these soldiers were already severely poisoned and especially with corpse poison. It would be too late if he tried to detoxify them one by one; thus, extending their lives first was the priority before attempting detoxification.

The golden needles in Xiao Yu's medical box had run out, and most of those in his sleeves were also used up. He looked towards the door anxiously when noticing that no one had yet returned with more needles.

But his hands did not stop working; there still remained a few needles left in his sleeve which could help another person receive acupuncture treatment.

"Here… Here…" As Xiao Yu applied the last needle, he heard the medic's voice echoing down the hallway.

When the doctor rushed over, Xiao Yu took the golden needles from him and started acupuncture on the remaining two people.

Xiao Yu looked at this patient. The patient's attire did not appear to be that of a warrior; moreover, there was a faint fluctuation of elemental energy on his body, though it was very weak now.

After taking a look at the man, Xiao Yu found out he was in his mid-20s and looked quite handsome. There were several wounds on the back of his hands.

Although this person had a fluctuation of elemental energy within him, his physical condition was much worse than that of these warriors, so he had fallen into unconsciousness. Xiao Yu took out the golden needles from the military doctor and started acupuncture treatment.

A while later, after finishing up on the soldiers, Xiao Yu straightened himself and let out a long breath. Suddenly, his vision dimmed, and he stumbled almost falling over.

Xiao Yu leaned against the bed's edge, closed his eyes to rest for a moment before slowly opening them again.

‘These people should be members of the Thirteenth Division from the Deep Sea Group, right’ Xiao Yu thought as he looked at these patients.

"Third Brother, are you okay" Zhang Dahan said with a worried look while watching over Xiao Yu.

Zhang Dahan had lain on his bed and watched Xiao Yu treat the soldiers, so he had seen everything that just happened.

"All of you leave! I need absolute quiet to treat my patients," Xiao Yu said to the soldiers and military doctor beside him.

"B-But…" The soldiers hesitated upon hearing Xiao Yu's words.

"You all leave!" Zhang Dahan ordered when he saw the soldiers hesitate.

"Yes, Captain!" Seeing Zhang Dahan speak up, they left together.

"Wait a moment," said Xiao Yu as he wrote out a prescription and handed it to one of the soldiers. "These medicinal ingredients should all be available at Renhetang; get three catties of each. Additionally, prepare several large pots of boiling water! Hurry up; we'll need them soon."

"Yes, Doctor Xiao! We will go right away!" The soldiers said and left after that. Soon afterward, the sound of a car engine could be heard outside.

"Brother, how did you all get poisoned" Xiao Yu asked Zhang Dahan.

Although he knew this might involve their mission's secrets, Xiao Yu had to ask. If it were just ordinary injuries, he wouldn't have asked, but now that they've been infected with corpse poison, he had to inquire.

Moreover, the wounds on them appeared to be caused by an animal's claws; furthermore, judging from their wound conditions, it seemed to be done by a single creature. If this thing were left unchecked, the consequences could be unimaginable.
