Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 1090: Chapter 1089: Using Poison on Each Other

Park Fangzheng insisted on this type of challenge because his greatest skills lie in detoxification and poisoning.

In Paocai Nation, he even has an honorary title known as the ’Greatest Poison Master of the East’.

The term Poison Master here doesn’t just refer to his ability to detoxify someone, such as treating various snake poisons, bites from poisonous insects and other emergency interventions... it also includes using poison!

He can develop various poisons.

Though he can’t compare to the world’s Poison King, his reputation in Paocai Nation is quite significant.

This method of competition is advantageous for him.

It’s equivalent to comparing his strengths against others.

Medicine is a vast system; some people are good at acupuncture, some at prescribing, some at bone setting, some at cupping therapy, and some are good at both detoxification and using poison...

It’s difficult to be an expert in everything.

Park Fangzheng knew this well.

As long as he could provoke Gu Jiangming into agreeing to compete in using poison, he would have almost a ninety percent chance of winning.

And hearing that Gu Jiangming agreed, everyone else was very anxious.

”Doctor Gu, you mustn’t agree.”

”We shouldn’t compare like this, it’s clearly unfair to us.”

”Exactly, how can we have such an exchange in the practice of medicine? The original intention and spirit of the medical path is for the treatment and saving of lives. This kind of harmful and self-disadvantaging competition totally contradicts the essence of the medical path!”

”...”

Everyone began to speak out.

Now, Gu Jiangming was also having regrets.

But the words were already out, and there was no taking them back.

So even with some second thoughts, he had to stiffen his neck and compete against him.

However, he was careful, and when he went to fetch the medical box, he instructed his daughter Gu Lingfei:

”Ling Fei, go find Divine Doctor Lin, tell him to come to our medical hall quickly!”

Without any hesitation, Gu Lingfei immediately dashed off to find Lin Dong.

After Gu Jiangming had left, he began to compete against Park Fangzheng.

”Let you start first, so you won’t say I bullied you,” Park Fangzheng said, waving his hand generously at Gu Jiangming.

Gu Jiangming’s face turned iron blue as he saw the other’s arrogant expression, feeling very angry inside.

”No need, here in our Dragon Country, we are the hosts and you are the guest. Our Dragon Country is a land of courtesy, so you go first!” Gu Jiangming said loudly.

Seeing this, many doctors from the nearby medical hall praised him.

But in Park Fangzheng’s eyes, it looked as if Gu Jiangming was just putting on a show.

He curled his lip and said, ”Okay, then I’ll not be polite.”

With that, he took out a silver needle and said, ”This needle is smeared with a kind of snake poison.”

”As for what specific snake poison it is, I won’t say. Let’s see if you can identify it and neutralize it!”

After speaking, he walked over to Gu Jiangming, holding the silver needle unknown to have snake poison, and stabbed it into Gu Jiangming’s arm.

Gu Jiangming didn’t prevent it, clenched his teeth, and watched as the silver needle was inserted into his arm.

The snake poison was indeed fierce; not long after the insertion, it began to take effect.

Instantly Gu Jiangming’s arm began to swell, with a purple and blue color appearing on the surface.

”This is the Golden Thread Snake poison; I can neutralize it with the tenth needle of the ’Gu Family Needle Method’!”

He identified the snake poison at a glance and quickly took out a silver needle.

He then applied the tenth needle of the ’Gu Family Needle Method’ to his own arm.

Whisk, whisk, whisk!

The Silver Needle entered the acupoint, instantly sealing the blood vessels in the arm. Then, the second needling was performed to let blood.

Soon, a pool of black blood flowed out from the arm.

After the black blood was drained, one could see that Gu Jiangming’s previously swollen arm began to subside, and the earlier purple color returned to normal.

”Good!” Seeing this, the doctors at the Gu Family Medical Hall around him cheered.

Gu Jiangming also breathed a sigh of relief and looked towards Park Fangzheng.

”Park Fangzheng, I’ve neutralized your snake poison!”

Park Fangzheng also clapped softly and said, ”It seems that you, Gu Jiangming, do possess some medical arts. Your ancient medical family of Gu is indeed not undeservedly famous.”

”The Gu family needle method has truly been an eye-opener for me.”

Gu Jiangming spoke gravely, ”In front of the vast oceans of Dragon Country Chinese Medicine, my Gu family needle method is but a drop in the ocean. It is nothing.”

”Heh, no need to boast. If your Dragon Country Chinese Medicine were really that powerful, why then are there Western hospitals everywhere in your Dragon Country? Why do people of the Dragon Country choose Western doctors when seeking medical treatment? When patients from our Kimchi Nation seek treatment, the first choice is always our Eastern Medicine. In this regard, we surpass you Dragon Country folks.”

Park Fangzheng said with a curl of his lip.

Faced with these words, Gu Jiangming didn’t know how to respond.

He could only say that Traditional Chinese Medicine is indeed profound, but much of it has either been lost or the inheritance is too difficult. There are too few true masters of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

And too many scammers have been exploiting the reputation of Traditional Chinese Medicine to deceive others.

Without even having read a few medical books, they go out to sell medicine.

Selling Chinese medicine at a high price that doesn’t match the sickness, they have caused many patients who initially believed in Chinese medicine to end up in worse health from taking the wrong medication.

As a result, more and more people have stopped believing in Chinese medicine, and even hate it!

How could this phenomenon be changed by him, Gu Jiangming?

”See, I’ve rendered you speechless, haven’t I? I’ve always said, your Chinese medicine is just a branch that branched off from our Eastern Medicine.”

”I think your Gu family’s needle method is very similar to a set of techniques used by my teacher. Maybe your Gu family ancestors went to our Kimchi Nation to steal their teachings. After coming back, you treated it as the Gu family’s hereditary needle method!”

Hearing this, Gu Jiangming became so angry he almost spewed blood.

”You Eastern Doctors, you Kimchi Nation people, really have no shame at all. Claiming holidays as yours, claiming Chinese medicine as yours, claiming Hanfu as yours... claiming everything as yours? Is it that even excrement is yours?”

Gu Jiangming, a doctor known for his good discipline, couldn’t help but curse out loud.

Park Fangzheng frowned and said, ”Your quality is really low, I don’t want to say much more. Hurry up and poison me, don’t think that just because you’ve neutralized my first poison, you have won. That was just an appetizer.”

Gu Jiangming snorted coldly, not wasting any more words.

He then went to the pharmacy and fetched a rare snake poison, which he applied to a silver needle.

He then took that silver needle and pierced it into Park Fangzheng’s body.

Park Fangzheng sneered, ”Such a simple poison and you have the nerve to use it?”

No sooner had he spoken, he began performing acupuncture.

Before the poison could even take effect, he had already neutralized it.

Seeing this, the Eastern Doctors behind Park Fangzheng started to cheer.

As for Gu Jiangming and the doctors in the Gu Family Medical Hall, their faces grew grave.

Clearly, Park Fangzheng’s ability to use and neutralize poisons was stronger than Gu Jiangming’s.

At this moment, Park Fangzheng took out another silver needle.

”This time, let’s see if you can identify this poison! I guarantee you that your Gu family needle method can’t neutralize this poison!”

Park Fangzheng did not mention what poison was on the silver needle; instead, he walked over to Gu Jiangming and then pierced it into his body.

Gu Jiangming, feeling the venom enter his body, instantly turned pale.

He realized that he could not identify the poison at all.

Moreover, it spread at an alarmingly fast rate, causing his entire arm to swell up in an instant, many times more intense than the Golden Thread Snake poison before.

”Hahaha, Gu Jiangming, let’s see how you neutralize this poison,” Park Fangzheng laughed hysterically.
