Chapter 504: Daylight Robbery

Chen Wuhui had never expected that things would end up like this. The person by his side was actually the one that wanted him dead.
If not for the appearance of Mo Wen, everyone would have probably been kept in the dark, and not a single person would have found out about this secret even after he died.
Chen Zikuang looked at Mo Wen with exceptional gratitude. He had never thought that things would turn out this way. It was fortunate that Mo Wen had appeared in ti or the consequences would have been dire. Nobody had expected that a physician from the dical Sect would be in cahoots with Sacred Fla Sect. If news of this got out, the reputation of dical Sect would definitely be seriously affected.
“Although Old Grandfather Chen was poisoned rather seriously, it is not a poison without an antidote. If not for the foul play, with Old Grandfather Chen’s Cultivation, even if the poison could not be gotten rid of, the outco would not have been so dire.” Mo Wen smiled serenely. Although the green-colored poison was exceptionally potent, it was not sufficient to render a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner into that state. The most frightening thing was not the poison, but the human intention. If they let Yu Guang do as he wanted, even an ancient martial art practitioner with the highest Cultivation would not be able to persevere.
Mo Wen scanned the green-colored poison on the table, before walking over to it. He planned to keep it. On its own, it was not very potent. However, it could enhance the potency of other poisons by more than ten tis. It was really quite interesting. He actually found it very odd, as he could not figure out just who had managed to experint with strange poisons. In future, he would also experint on them thoroughly.
Mo Wen knew quite a bit about poisons. Although he had never concocted any poison to harm people, the business of anti-venom was very profitable. In the dical world, the main principle was to use venom against venom. Hence, people who understood anti-venoms well were also great masters of concocting poison.
Back in those years when he had tried hundreds of herbs, his body had been poisoned by tens of weird poisons. In the end, all the venom of the poisons had disappeared and he had actually trained his body to be resistant to hundreds of poisons. His body back then was one that was not susceptible to any of the regular poisons.
“Mo Wen, can you rid Old Grandfather’s body of the poison?” Chen Zikuang looked at Mo Wen in anticipation. Initially, he had not harbored much hope. However, after witnessing Mo Wen’s techniques, hope was growing within him. Moreover, Mo Wen had also said before that it was not a poison without an anti-venom. Since he dared to say that, there had to be so way to get rid of the poison.
“Naturally, it is possible. However, the key thing affecting Old Grandfather’s body is not the poison, but the internal injuries. The internal injuries he has sustained are just too serious. If the anti-venom is a little too strong, it would affect his injuries.”
Mo Wen scanned Chen Wuhui. If an ancient martial art practitioner with the interdiate stage of the Golden Elixir realm could be forced into such a state, it was naturally not just the work of poison. The injuries on his body were also very serious. If it had been an ancient martial art practitioner with the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm instead, he would have lost his life due to such injuries.
Mo Wen was actually rather surprised that soone could have injured Chen Wuhui to such an extent.
“Young friend Mo Wen, please just do as you wish. I will say it again. If anything unfortunate happens, it just ans that I am fated to die. I will definitely not bla my young friend.” Old Grandfather Chen had thought that Mo Wen was worried about an accident happening during the treatnt process. Hence, he tried to reassure him. Anyway, even without treatnt, he would die. By now, he actually treated life and death very lightly.
“You’re thinking too much, Old Grandfather Chen. Since I have already taken action, I naturally have a certain level of confidence in it. The chance of an accident happening is simply too slim. However, your case is a little serious. If you want to recover fully, it will take more than just two or three days.”
An unyielding look flashed through Mo Wen’s eyes. None of his patients had ever died from treatnt. He had even treated the Massacre’s Host before. The worst case scenario was that the treatnt would simply be unsuccessful.
“Then I will have to rely on young friend Mo Wen’s skilled hands.” Chen Wuhui smiled. If any other young person had said such things, he would have thought of them as overly arrogant. However, Mo Wen was different as he indeed had such capabilities.
“Deputy Sect Leader Chen, for the following treatnt process, we require an absolutely quiet environnt,” Mo Wen’s gaze moved over to Chen Zikuang.
Upon hearing that, Chen Zikuang did not say a second word as he imdiately ordered everyone to retreat before also leaving.
Finally, there were only Mo Wen and Chen Wuhui left in the room.
“Young friend Mo Wen, I believe you have sothing to say to in private?” Chen Wuhui smiled. Beforehand, when Mo Wen had started treatnt, he had not chased everyone out. Yet, he had now ushered everyone out, including Chen Zikuang. Clearly, he had so motive behind it.
“Old Grandfather Chen is the Sect Leader of Intentionless Sect indeed. Your eyes are so sharp.” Mo Wen laughed.
“Praising an old man like for no reason must an that there is nothing good about this.” Chen Wuhui smiled.
“What are you saying? Of course it is sothing good, which is why I have to share it with you privately and prevent others from finding out. If I say that I can help you recover fully in a week, would you believe ?”
Mo Wen’s lips curled up into a smile. Everyone knew just how serious Chen Wuhui’s injury was. However, Mo Wen was an exceptional person. He had been a miracle physician, tried hundreds of herbs and had even beco an Immortal Cultivator already. The techniques that he grasped were not sothing that the average person could expect to master. Ultimately, Chen Wuhui’s injuries were not too serious. He had not been exposed to one of the top ten deadly poisons or reached the stage of his soul being damaged.
If all conditions were t, getting Old Grandfather Chen fully recovered in a week was already being generous with the ti.
“Are you for real?” Old Grandfather Chen was actually very surprised. He knew just how serious his own injuries were. It was still a question of whether or not he would be able to recover fully. Even if Mo Wen had said that it would take a few years for him to recover fully, he would not have been surprised. Recovering within a week? That was simply impossible. It would probably be impossible even if the Sect Leader of the dical Sect had made a trip down personally. It was only possible if he ate the wonder dicine given by Huatian Palace. However, Intentionless Sect did not have such treasures. He had already eaten so of the healing dicinal pills but the effects were very minor.
To him, as well as the entire Intentionless Sect, ti was of the essence. If he could recover completely in a week, perhaps they could get Intentionless Sect out of the trouble it was in. With him at the head of Intentionless Sect, Sacred Fla Sect’s plan would be foiled.
Mo Wen’s throwaway words had caused Chen Wuhui, who had lived a hundred or two hundred years, to have a change in expression.
“Of course. As a physician, I would never joke,” Mo Wen’s mouth was set in a smile. He crossed his arms behind his back and looked exceptionally confident.
“Young friend Mo Wen, what conditions have to be t, or rather, what conditions do you have?” Chen Wuhui looked at Mo Wen. He had already lived so long so it was not easy to fool him. He was very clear that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. There was more than ets the eye about Mo Wen appearing in Intentionless Sect at such a ti. It was not because Intentionless Sect had invited him, nor because he had taken a liking towards Intentionless Sect.
“Old Grandfather Chen, you know of my identity as well. As Intentionless Sect is part of the Ming Preservation Faction, what are your views on ?” Mo Wen asked calmly. Naturally, he had a motive behind going over to Intentionless Sect.
“You are forcing to state my opinion.” Upon hearing that, Chen Wuhui broke into laughter. This youth was very direct in doing things and he did not beat around the bush. He had actually brought up such a thing at such a ti.
“Those sects that had branched out from the Ming Clan would not co to a very good end if they do not state their opinions,” Mo Wen said serenely.
Chen Wuhui looked at Mo Wen in surprise, gaining a new understanding of this youth’s mightiness and confidence.
“Since young friend Mo Wen has put things this way, this old man will not say too many useless things as well. Initially, we invited you to Intentionless Sect because we were leaning towards supporting you. However, we have yet to confirm our final decision. Coincidentally, Intentionless Sect has gotten into trouble. It was also because of this incident that brought you over. If you can get Intentionless Sect through this difficult ti and preserve the foundation laid for hundreds of years, I will naturally know what to decide on.”
Chen Wuhui had a solemn expression. Previously, this question had a lot of different possibilities. However, it was not a simple question of choice; choose Mo Wen or choose to be killed. If Mo Wen could prevent Intentionless Sect being entirely wiped out, this question would not even be a choice anymore.
“I really like candid people like you, Old Grandfather Chen. However, getting you fully recovered in a week is not sothing easy. The conditions for to take action does not seem to be plentiful enough as it lacks many of the necessary things. However, it is said that your Intentionless Sect’s treasure trove has many good things. For all you know, it could help with the urgent situation at the mont.” Mo Wen laughed as he changed the topic.
Old Grandfather Chen was shocked upon hearing that. He did not know whether to cry or laugh as he said, “Not only did you want to force my opinion, you are also eyeing Intentionless Sect’s treasure trove. Good one, Mo Wen.”
“If a worker wants to do well, he must first sharpen his tools. Only when the conditions have been t would the thing be done well. I am also thinking for the good of Old Grandfather’s speedy recovery.” Mo Wen did not look awkward at all. Instead, he looked just like he was doing it for Chen Wuhui’s sake. Of course, whether or not he would just take things that were useful for the treatnt once he entered Intentionless Sect’s treasure trove would depend on his mood.
“Alright, it’s alright if you are taking advantage of our misfortune. Yet, you are still making it sound so nice. However, you are right about one thing. It is hard to say if Intentionless Sect would even be able to get through this ordeal. In comparison, treasures and such are not as important anymore. Later on, I will tell Zikuang to take you for a look around our treasure trove.” Old Grandfather Chen shook his head. Imdiately, he could tell that this lad, Mo Wen, was not soone who would settle for the shorter end of the stick. He was a very calculating character.
“Old Grandfather Chen is still the one who knows what is right and proper. With the assurance from Old Grandfather, everything is naturally more open to discussion. Now, I will use a technique to rid one part of your body of the poison. Then, I will have a look in the treasure trove to see if there is anything to speed up the recovery from your injuries.”
Mo Wen laughed and took out his Ming Yang ancient needles to perform acupuncture on Chen Wuhui. After a period of accumulation, the poison in his body had reached a frightening stage. Coupled with Yu Guang’s secret sabotage, the situation was not very positive. Only after removing a portion of the poison first would it be a smoother treatnt down the road.
After about half an hour, Mo Wen had finally removed ten percent of the poison from Chen Wuhui’s body. If it were not for him suppressing the poisonous substance within, the entire Intentionless Sect would be perated with poisonous gas.
While Mo Wen was working with the needles and after he had left the sleeping quarter, an hour had already passed. Only Chen Zikuang could be seen standing at the door of the sleeping quarter, as though he was waiting for sothing. The mont he saw Mo Wen exit, he imdiately welcod him.
