Heavenly Star Chapter 132: Your Majesty, You Are Also Being Poisoned!

Chapter 132: Your Majesty, You Are Also Being Poisoned!

Ye Wuchen held the needles as he proceeded to Lin Xiu’s bed, twirling three in his right hand. He held them onto them for a long ti then quickly lowered them, pricking them together on Lin Xiu’s forehead. He then let out a long sigh, inclining his body to the side, his back was already dripping with cold sweat.

His powers allowed his physique and abilities to reach the Tenth-Level with his speed surpassing that by far. Yet his ability to summon the powers of the six elents Water, Fire, Wind, Thunder, Earth, and Death were pitifully weak, barely enough to reach the third or fourth level. Whenever he used them his powers were quickly consud. Monts ago, he had used all his strength to manipulate the air of death inside Lin Xiu’s body through the use of silver needles, already draining him of his strength.

His actions made Shui Nanhe think that sothing did not add up. He had never heard of such a thod being used to perform acupuncture, but almost imdiately, he had an expression of shock on his face.

Traces of the grey air slowly floated out from Lin Xiu’s forehead, like smoke. In the anti, the dark greyish color on Lin Xiu’s body began to lighten up along with the outflow of the air. Everybody could see that it was indeed lightening up. Although at a slow and steady rate, one could clearly distinguish it through their naked eyes.

Was the poison being discharged?

Everyone in the crowd simultaneously opened their eyes wide, quietly observing this incredible scene. Lin Xiu’s facial color gradually transford from dark greyish, to greyish, then it beca a light grey. In a short ti, the layer of greyish color had already faded into an untraceable shade, replaced by a rosy but pale color.

“Amazing... Truly an amazing physician!” Long Zhengyue who was the one closest to Lin Xiu broke the silence. He yelled out from being unable to restrain his emotions, and he switched his gaze, to a fervent and grateful one as he looked at Ye Wuchen.

Shui Nanhe nodded his head and thought that this trip had been well worth it today. Unexpectedly, he was able to know about this extraordinary young man. It seems like, he really was getting old, too old... Living throughout this lifeti, the older he beca, the more he realized that he hds been ignorant and narrow-minded. He was judging himself too highly and looked down on others.

Although he still could not understand what kind of poison it was or what kind of eccentric thod Ye Wuchen had used, reality was reality, clearly exhibited in front of his eyes. He did not have the right to doubt now since he, as a dicine expert, had already declared himself incompetent.

“Brother Ye... That’s really great. Haha, I was absolutely right. Brother Ye, my Long Family truly owes you a very huge favor.” Long Zhengyang said, his heart full of appreciation and pleasant surprise.

“Great! Nice Ye Wuchen, you are indeed worthy to be regarded as the disciple of the God of Sword. Apart from the titles of ‘Tian Long’s Number One Genius’ and ‘Tian Long Number One Outstanding Talent’, this ‘Tian Long Number One Amazing Physician’ title will be exclusively yours! An illness that all other physicians were unable to cure, you’ve done so very easily. Apparently, I don’t have to worry about any serious illnesses that are difficult to treat. Hahahaha!” With Long Yin’s biggest frustration removed from his heart, after a few words of encouragent, he laughed heartily with a carefree mood.

“Amazing, truly an amazing physician!”

“A while ago I thought Superior Li was exaggerating. I realize that I was being stupid!”

“Even the dicine Expert has to step down gracefully. Not just Tian Long’s Number One Amazing Physician, you should be bestowed the title of The World’s Number One Amazing Physician. You fully deserve it!”

“For the Ye Family to produce such a genius, it really causes other people to be envious, as well as to exclaim with surprise!”

..............................

The imperial physicians who were anxious and frightened expressed their sincere admiration one by one. This was not just so rumor, but a reality that they had personally witnessed. Lin Zhan and Lin Kuang’s expressions were very complicated, filled with excitent, yet unsightly. Their Lin Family had just accused him of putting on an act, but he had miraculously healed the illness quite easily. This was clearly another big slap to their faces.

Facing these words of praise, Ye Wuchen shook his head and refused to comnt any further. Not only did he not seem pleased with himself, he was still wearing a serious expression. When Lin Xiu’s forehead did not emit any greyish air anymore, Ye Wuchen pulled out the three silver needles, throwing them aside, and said, “I have temporarily expelled the poison that spread inside the body of the Empress. Since this kind of Soul Snatching Cold Poison is ranked as one of the three most peculiar poisons in the world, it cannot be removed that easily. The reason why it is called the Soul Snatching Cold Poison is because it attaches itself to the soul of the victim to survive. Basically, it is very hard to thoroughly eradicate it. I only eliminated the portion that had spread. After so period of ti, it will recur then spread out again, and the severity will be greater than its previous occurrence. At that ti, I cannot do anything about it anymore.”

The excitent that they had in a short period of ti was extinguished once more. Long Zhengyue’s expression beca gloomy once again, as he grabbed on to Ye Wuchen’s clothes and said, “Amazing physician, Master Ye, with your trendous powers, you must be able to help my mother. You must be able to do it...”

Although it was his first ti eting Long Zhengyue, Ye Wuchen was greatly impressed by the filial piety of this second princ. He shook his head and said, “Second prince, I have no powers to treat this kind of poison. Approximately after two months, it will reappear again. That ti we will be truly unable to turn around the hopeless situation. Within these two months, the Empress will gradually regain her health, without any difference from an ordinary days. Second prince, you might want to accompany by her side more often in that ti.”

Actually, the power of death in the Empress’ body had been fully dispersed by Ye Wuchen, even though she was a mber of the Lin family, she did not have any enmity with him, so Ye Wuchen would not go as far as to take her life.

The two months were exactly the period of ti that he needed.

Long Yin furrowed his brows. “Wuchen, you’ve ntioned a that this poison was hard to fully eradicate, yet you didn’t say it cannot be fully eradicated. Is there anything that we need to have to be able to fully eradicate it?”

Ye Wuchen nods his head, “Your Majesty, your vision is like a torch. The Soul Snatching Cold Poison indeed has an antidote, but having an antidote is not much different from having none, else it wouldn’t be regarded as one of the world’s most peculiar poisons.”

Long Zhengyue remarked at once, “Amazing physician, quickly tell us what the antidoteis. As long as this antidote exists, within these two months we will get hold of it at whatever cost. I don’t believe that there’s anything the we the Long Family wouldn’t be able to get.”

“What Yue-er said is right. There is nothing that our Long Family wouldn’t be able to get. Wuchen, what exactly is the antidote?” Long Yin said.

Ye Wuchen briefly sighed, and gently said, “When teacher had spoken to about the Soul Snatching Cold Poison, he ntioned that this poison was ford in the darkest and coldest of places. If you want to fully eliminate such a poison, you must use sothing that is the brightest and the hottest. The brightest and hottest thing in the whole of Heavenly Start Continent is to the south of our Tian Long Nation, the ‘Heavenly Fire Dragon Fruit’ of the Heavenly Fire Volcano.”

“Heavenly Fire Dragon Fruit...” Long Zhengyue repeated. For a mont, his face went grave like dead ash. He understood what Ye Wuchen’s words ant when he said that having the antidote of this Soul Snatching Cold Poison was not much different from having none. This Heavenly Fire Dragon Fruit could only be found at the center of the Heavenly Fire Volcano. One could only look at it from afar, and no one had ever plucked it before, because when you co near it, you would be burned to ashes.

“That is indeed the brightest and hottest thing in this world, because it grows in the hottest place in Heavenly Star. Even the God-Level Masters will not dare go near that place. Even if it could eliminate the Cold Poison, how will we be able to get it?” Shui Nanhe shook his head.

Everyone had uniformly sighed and shook their heads. The Heavenly Fire Volcano was known to everybody. There was a legend that said that the place was guarded by a sleeping protector, the Great Fire Dragon. The Heavenly Fire Dragon Fruit was also known to everybody, as once there had been a lot of people who intended to pluck it, exhausting every thod but to no avail. Not only n, even chained hooks made from the purest gold would lt before it even got near.

“Aside from this, there are no other options?” Long Yin asked.

“No other options.” Ye Wuchen nodded his head without hesitation, then returned the box of silver needles to Physician Li. Apologetically he said, “Your Majesty, Brother Long, Wuchen has so other things to attend to, I feel ashad so I’ll take my leave now.”

“No, please don’t say that brother Ye. It’s not a problem with your ability. Not only did you find out the symptoms of the illness, you were also able to point out the detoxification thod, the antidote is truly... Ai, for my mother to be able to survive an additional two months is because of you, brother Ye. I will be forever grateful to you.”

“Even so, still I wasn’t able to fully heal the Empress’ illness.” Ye Wuchen shook his head and turned to prepare to leave.

“Wait a mont, I have sothing to ask you.” Long Yin called out for him, “Do you know how long the poison has been planted inside the Empress’ body?”

“Two months.” Ye Wuchen answered, “This kind of poison flares up once every two months, the next is greater than the previous one, so every ti it flares up there is a deadly risk. We can say that anyone who catches this illness is considered dead, because aside from the Heavenly Fire Dragon Fruit, no other antidote will be able to fully eliminate it.”

Two months... Everyone looked at each other since to everyone’s surprise, it had been a very long ti.

Long Yin heavily groaned for a mont, eventually he furrowed his brows and asked, “Since it is considered as one of the three most peculiar poisons in the whole world, presumably it must be very rare. Do you know who is most likely to have this Soul Snatching Cold Poison?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Wuchen hesitated for a while and did not respond right away, neither did he shake his head.

Long Zhengyang lowered his brows and said, “Brother Ye, you must know it, right? This matter is greatly important to my Long Family. Just say it, whether you know the person or not, nobody will bla you. For soone who dared to offend our Long Family, such an occurrence has not happened for a very long ti. No matter who it is, the Long Family will surely eliminate that person!”

Ye Wuchen still remained silent, then furrowing his brows, he looked pensively at Long Yin and imdiately, the pupils of the eyes slightly contracted. He took so quick step towards Long Yin, then seriously asked, “Your Majesty, please honestly answer a question of mine... Within the past seven days, did you have... relations with the Empress?”

This question was truly considered to be rude and in front of so many people too, yet his expression surprised everybody. They basically had no ti to think of other things. Long Yin paused for a while, his mind imrsed in thoughts before he replied, “Within the past seven days... yes.”

Ye Wuchen’s expression changed rapidly in the course of the conversation. Then followed by a long sigh, “Your Majesty, you have already been poisoned by the Soul Snatching Cold Poison.”

“What!?” a huge change in expressions occurred in everyone’s faces. Like a thunder on a clear sky, just a statent vibrated their heads, almost causing them to collapse from dizziness. Suffering from this kind of poison implied that he would soon die... Tian Long’s Emperor was currently in the pri of his life, if he were to die like this, it would be a very trendous blow for Tian Long Nation. If a new emperor took the throne with his foundation so unstable, and if he had shallow capabilities, there would co a ti wherein the politics and internal affairs would be greatly affected by the confusion. The Gale Nation, glaring like a tiger watching its prey, would not let go of such an opportunity.

“This... This...” All the people’s hands and feet went ice-cold in terror. Long Zhengyang and Long Zhengyue were overwheld with shock. Even Long Yin’s facial expression was sohow stirred, in a trembling voice he said, “Is this true?”
