Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

This bump was not a big deal, but the black-clad figure, who had already stopped, staggered from the collision with the Medicine Immortal Old Man!

After the stagger, the black-clad figure quickly stabilized himself, slightly raised his head, and under the moonlight, his face hidden under the black clothes was vaguely visible, not very clear. Yet, even so, the Medicine Immortal Old Man still exclaimed, ”It’s you?”

How could it be this person?

This subordinate, who occasionally appeared behind that little boy Shi Wujue, was naturally seen by the Medicine Immortal Old Man. Given the old man’s cultivation which followed the medical path, his sensitivity to human auras was extraordinarily keen. Even though he had never really seen Duo Shu’s face hidden under the black clothes, he recognized him at a glance!

That’s right!

This person is indeed Duo Shu!

Hidden under the black clothes, Duo Shu heard the old man’s words, lowered his head slightly, and in the next moment, the part of his face that had been exposed was covered by the falling black felt hat. However, a low and slightly regretful voice came, ”That’s right, it’s me!”

Even the Medicine Immortal Old Man had not expected that the person behind the underhanded act of using a poison needle would be Duo Shu, let alone that he would so frankly admit it when faced with such questioning!

”Why? Taking advantage of their duel, who did you intend to assassinate?” The Medicine Immortal Old Man’s old face inevitably turned somewhat stern.

Upon hearing this, Duo Shu raised his head again, and in the faint moonlight, only his eyes could be seen, bright and clear, full of composure. He looked directly at the questioning Medicine Immortal Old Man and replied in a deep voice, ”I had no intention of assassinating anyone; I simply did not want them to continue fighting, resulting in both sides suffering.”

Saying this, a mocking smirk appeared at the corner of Duo Shu’s mouth as he continued arrogantly, ”How precious is my City Lord, how can he be injured over a woman? This is inappropriate, so the method I used is the most effective. As long as one of them can’t fight anymore, this deadlock breaks without any effort. Medicine Immortal Senior, don’t you think so?”

Upon hearing this, a thoughtful look flashed across the old face of the Medicine Immortal Old Man. His old eyes pondered as he looked at Duo Shu as if considering how much credibility his words held, his expression grave and serious...

Just when Duo Shu couldn’t help but think that he might not be able to bluff his way through this time, he forcibly suppressed himself to avoid showing any signs of vigilance under the gaze of the Medicine Immortal Old Man, acting as though he was completely at ease!

The atmosphere suddenly became tense!

The sensation of drawn swords and bows stretched between the two...

Duo Shu’s hand under the black clothes couldn’t help but tighten slightly...

Is he not believing his words?

Is he going to make a move?

Between him and the Medical Immortal Wu Xi?

He just didn’t know who would win and who would lose in the end!

However, just when the expression on Duo Shu’s face gradually turned grave, the Medicine Immortal Old Man reached out a hand to him...

That old hand still bore calluses from years of holding the medicine pestle!

Seeing the Medicine Immortal Old Man make a move, Duo Shu immediately braced himself for battle. Just as he was about to marshal his Inner Strength to resist, an anxious, elderly voice sounded in his ear...

”Do you still have the needle? Give it to me!”

”Ah?” Duo Shu was stunned, and his sense of vigilance instantly faded away, looking incredulously at the Medicine Immortal Old Man as if not understanding what he was saying!

”It’s the silver needle you used for the underhanded attack earlier. Do you still have it? If you do, quickly lend it to me, I only brought two kinds of medicine, one for saving lives and one for killing, but not this middle-ground kind. Hurry, lend me your silver needle for use!” The Medicine Immortal Old Man said, pushing his extended hand a little further, with a barely perceptible hint of delight and excitement on his old face.

Godfather bless!

He had been tricked here to mediate by his unworthy apprentice through trickery, and for a moment, his old brain hadn’t come around to play!

How easy it is to make them stop, a silver needle coated with something like Soft Muscle Powder would do the trick without having to rely on my old bones to fight!

A miscalculation, a miscalculation, as a doctor, he had overlooked such a simple and effective method!

The old face of the Medicine Immortal Old Man was easily and comfortably relieved, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Upon hearing this, Duo Shu glanced at him, lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the thoughtful look in them, and hesitated as he reached towards his waist...

Understanding his words and asking for the silver needle...

This Medical Immortal Wu Xi, does he actually believe his words, or is he seeking to verify them?

If he seeks verification, he is bound to be disappointed because...

Mo extended his hand from his waist and handed over a silver needle glowing with a faint green light, placing it directly into the outstretched palm of the Medicine Immortal Old Man...

”Hey! Is this Fly-head Green Fragrance? It’s truly a superior Soft Muscle Powder!” The Medicine Immortal Old Man looked at the silver needle glowing green in his hand, his old eyes flashing brightly, and then laughed heartily, extending the hand holding the silver needle again with eagerness, saying, ”Is there more? Give me another one!”

”You want more?” Duo Shu heard this, and a look of uncertainty and suspicion appeared on the face hidden beneath the black clothing...

Is this a test?

”Naturally! Kid, you’re still too young and not shrewd enough in your actions. Do you even know how twisted those two fighting are? You knock one down with a single silver needle, and if the other goes out of control, it would be quite a scene. So, it’s better to stick both with silver needles at once, one for each, to keep it fair!”

Finally, the Medicine Immortal Old Man added arrogantly, ”Kid, are you worried that the simultaneous release of both needles will miss the target? Relax, leave this dirty work to me! Do you remember what I do? My title of Medical Immortal is known all over the world; my skill with silver needles is practically akin to the founder’s. Rest assured, I am more accurate in this dark business than you, and I won’t hit your City Lord’s vital parts! Hands it over, come on!”

Indeed, in the eyes of the Medicine Immortal Old Man, almost everyone seemed very young, and being called ’kid’ wasn’t unjust...

Upon hearing the Medicine Immortal Old Man’s words, Duo Shu’s hand, hidden beneath the black clothing, hesitated for a while, but ultimately it moved back to his waist once more...

Only, this time it took a bit longer...

The Medical Immortal Wu Xi acting personally...

Duo Shu’s fingers paused at his waist where the silver needles were stored. If, the second silver needle he gave Medicine Immortal Old Man wasn’t coated with Fly-head Green Soft Muscle Powder, but instead had a deadly poison...?

However, the thought was fleeting, and Duo Shu’s fingers moved again, pinching out a silver needle and handing it to the Medicine Immortal Old Man!

The Medicine Immortal Old Man looked down...

Under the moonlight, the two silver needles shone with an identical faint green glow...

Both coated with Fly-head Green Soft Muscle Powder...

A hint of darkness flashed in the old eyes of the Medicine Immortal Old Man. He gave Duo Shu a deep look, clasped his palm, and put the two silver needles away. In the blink of an eye, a confident smile appeared on his old face, ”Hehe, with these two treasures, I can certainly retreat unscathed, no longer becoming a fish in the barrel harmed by those two boys! Come, come, let me show you what the magic hands of a Medical Immortal can do, always striking true with a needle!”

Even though they were quite a distance from where Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue were dueling, the Medicine Immortal Old Man didn’t bother to lower his voice, which carried an unmistakable tone of schadenfreude!

Upon saying this, the Medicine Immortal Old Man pretended to lead the way, cough cough...

And then lay back down on the ground!

Even though those two kids were fighting now and wouldn’t be distracted by them, those two were abnormally freakish. As an old man about to make a sneak attack, it was still better to be slightly cautious, preventing any direct collisions that might lead to injury, for which his unfilial apprentice wouldn’t feel sorry for him!

Watching the Medicine Immortal Old Man crawling along the ground, Duo Shu’s hand, hidden beneath the black clothing, reached again for his waist...

Previously, he didn’t take out another silver needle...

Because he knew that trying to poison Zhou Mu through the hands of the Medical Immortal Wu Xi was actually very difficult. Not to mention whether the real poison needle would strike Zhou Mu, the true poison needle could absolutely not escape the discerning eyes of the Medical Immortal Wu Xi!

This person might not be decisively powerful, someone even Duo Shu could contend with, but as he said, being a Medical Immortal merging medicine and poison is what truly made him formidable...

His fingers froze on a silver needle, with Duo Shu standing still, his expression slightly darkened...

Should he act?

If he acted now, he could ensure that the Medical Immortal Wu Xi would die without a doubt, whether he suspected him or not, everything would be buried beneath the earth, leaving no evidence...

But then, Duo Shu thought of Gu Changsheng in Linyuan City demonstrating an impressive immunity to all poisons. Having roamed the world, Duo Shu wasn’t ignorant; there are undeniably people immune to all poisons, but some accomplished doctors can forge a body immune to all poisons using unique methods!

Undoubtedly, the Medical Immortal Wu Xi stands at the pinnacle among those with great accomplishments in medical skills!

Is he immune to all poisons?

What are the odds if I act?

Duo Shu was not one to act rashly; his earlier action was assured, knowing that Zhou Mu, who was confronting his own Hall Master, had his back turned to him. If not for the sudden intervention of the Medical Immortal Wu Xi, he could have promised his needle wouldn’t miss, with no possibility of failure...
