Chapter 974: 974
Chapter 974 Three Times a Day Was Too Much
Despite being separated by thousands of miles, those people from the Valley of Thousands of Medicines had learned of Wang Yao’s location . According to their usual modus operandi, any attempts at revenge were undetectable unless he was willing to move elsewhere .
“Do you think they will come back?” Wang Yao asked .
“Most probably so,” Miao Chengtang replied .
“Those curses are made so that only people from that village can cure them, so they definitely won’t tolerate someone like you being around, Dr . Wang . For that, I’m truly sorry . ” Miao Chengtang solemnly apologized .
Half of his apology was done out of sincerity . The other half was out of fear .
He had witnessed how Wang Yao had simply pressed at the air and put Miao Zhengnan, whom he had been terrified of, to the ground kneeling . He deemed that as nothing short of a mystical feat .
It was not wise to get on the bad side of such an impressive young man .
“What do you mean?” Jia Zizai asked . He was able to tell that there was something wrong with those words .
“Alright, you people, leave and don’t ever come back here again,” Wang Yao said as he dismissively waved his hand .
Miao Chengtang’s only option was to leave .
He opened his mouth to speak but quickly swallowed his words .
“Master?”
“Come on, we’ll talk inside,” Wang Yao said .
“Sure . ”
After they went back inside, Su Xiaoxue made a pot of tea . Wang Yao told Jia Zizai everything that had happened in chronological order .
“So, you’ve gotten yourself into trouble just treating an illness, Master . How about I just head out and take care of those two?” Jia Zizai drew a line at his neck as he spoke .
According to what Wang Yao had said, those two had been put under the effects of what he had done to them . They were about to suffer three stomachaches a day . When the pain hit, it would have an intensity so severe that they would not be able to move . Driving was out of the question . In that case, the two outsiders had yet to make it outside Lianshan County . That made them easy to track . Jia Zizai’s prowess at what he did meant he could take care of those two without anyone noticing . He considered the entire assassination attempt, as well as disposing of their bodies, a piece of cake .
Su Xiaoxue was dumbfounded by everything she heard . She stared at him, making him feel rather awkward .
He simply laughed it off .
“No, just let them leave,” Wang Yao said .
He did not agree with resorting to killing just to take care of a problem .
“Have your friends over their keep a close eye on them . ”
“Sure, Master,” Jia Zizai replied .
“Oh right, Miao Chengtang was right,” Wang Yao said with a grin . “That guy had poison on him . You were poisoned when you touched him . ”
Jia Zizai had been poisoned, but it had quickly been taken care of . The herbs Wang Yao had given his three students proved quite useful .
“So, are the three of us really immune to all poisons?”
“Immune to all poisons?” Su Xiaoxue, who had been listening by their side, grew very curious .
“Umm, well, here’s how it is,” Jia Zizai said . “Master gave the three of us some medicine for the skin . It allows us to be immune to all poisons . Apparently, it’s so good that we have even driven pests away . ”
“Is there really something like that out there?” Su Xiaoxue grinned at Wang Yao .
“Can I have some?”
“Sure you can,” Wang Yao replied with a smile .
“Do you want to try it?”
“Yep,” Su Xiaoxue said with a nod .
“No problem . ”
Jia Zizai left the clinic without staying for long . He told Hu Mei and Zhong Liuchuan everything that happened .
“Something like that actually happened?” Zhong Liuchuan was shocked . “Gosh, I’ll be damned . ”
“What if they show up again?”
“We’ll just let them stay here for good then . ” Zhong Liuchuan sounded very calm as he spoke . It was as if he was talking about something easy for him to do . He had absolute confidence in his capabilities .
“Yep, that’s what I thought as well . ”
The two men from the Valley of Thousands of Medicine waited at the side of the road outside the village for over an hour . They found nothing wrong with their bodies .
“Are we fine now?” the driver asked .
“Not necessarily,” Miao Zhengnan said . “How about we just get a place to crash in and stay here for the day?”
“Sure . ”

The driver cautiously drove the car into town . The men settled down at a hotel .
When it was nearing the evening, the pain hit returned just as intense as before . There was no way to suppress it . The excruciating pain lasted for about five minutes .
Huff, huff . After getting through the pain, both men were drenched in sweat . They looked as if they had been freshly fished out of the water .
The pain was too much for them .
They finally made it through .
Miao Zhengnan’s face was ashen from the pain . He was unable to recover right away . He was very angry . He wanted to head back to the village and torture that doctor with the most brutal of methods he knew of . Afterward, he wanted to kill him . However, his sense of reasoning told him otherwise . What that doctor had done was simply too eerie . He was likely not a match for the doctor . Furthermore, he had no idea what was actually happening to him . He had no idea if that weird illness was going to continue to worsen . He also did not know if their condition was life-threatening . As such, they were unable to kill that doctor just yet .
“What should we do, Uncle?” the young driver asked .
“We wait!” Miao Zhengnan replied .
While at the hotel, he contacted people in their village . He told everything that had happened to Miao Qingfeng, who was on the phone .
“Tell me the name of that village again . ”
Miao Qingfeng felt that the name of the village Miao Zhengnan mentioned was familiar . He seemed to have heard of it before .
“Here? Well, alright . I know . You guys be careful . Come back here at once if this proves too much for you guys . ”
After hanging up, Miao Qingfeng immediately made another call .
“Yinghao, I have a question . Is that the right place? Is he called Wang Yao? Alright, sure . ” He quickly hung up the phone .
“It’s really that place . ”
He thought for a bit before heading out . He went to Miao Xihe’s place and told the chief about what happened .
“A young man capable of curing a bug curse from this village?”
“Yes . Yinghao’s teacher and brother-in-training likely fell to that young man,” Miao Qingfeng said . “That man is probably very good at what he does . He was not afraid of the bugs they brought . ”
After remaining silent for a moment, Miao Xihe said, “Heh, I never expected to find some young man so capable up north . Well, just tell Zhengnan to come back . ”
“Sure . ”
The town thousands of miles away was very quiet after nightfall .

In a room in a hotel…
Arrghhh…
A man suddenly awoke from his slumber and shrieked . He cradled his stomach as he laid on the bed . He curled up like a shrimp that had been dumped into hot water .
The pain was too much to bear .
That torturous pain had hit them again .
“Damn it!”
Another shriek was heard as another person in the room shared the same reaction .
The pain gradually subsided after about five minutes .
They two men panted as they laid on their beds .
“Damn, this hurts!”
Miao Zhengnan did not say anything . His eyes were staring straight at the ceiling .
“Are you alright, Uncle?”
“I’m fine,” Miao Zhengnan said . “Get some sleep . We’ll probably be alright for the night . ”
“Probably?”
“Didn’t I tell you to sleep?”
“Sure . ”
Feeling tired and pained, the young man fell asleep in no time . He snored as Miao Zhengnan, who was not far away, continued to stare at the ceiling . No one knew what was running through his mind .
In the morning, sunlight shone into their room through the cracks of the curtains .
The two men did not look well . They had not slept well either . Three intense cramps a day dealt a severe blow to both of their bodies and psyches . There was no way they felt fine about it .
“We’ll stay here for another day,” Miao Zhengnan said .
“Stay? Aren’t we going home?” the young man asked .

“No, we’ll stay for two more days,” Miao Zhengnan said . He wanted to verify if his judgment had been correct .
The two men suffered another three hits that day . The time when the pain hit was almost the same as the day before .
“The pain is periodical, and it has an order . It has something to do with the meridians . ” That was his judgment about their condition .
“What happens now?” the young man asked .
“Come, we’ll head back to the village,” Miao Zhengnan said .
“By car?”
“No . It’s either by plane or train,” Miao Zhengnan replied . “We need to head back as fast as we can . We need to make sure that we avoid doing much at the times when we get sick . ”
They headed back to their village using the quickest method they were able to find .
In the mountain village…
Wang Yao was done making the medicine for Su Xiaoxue .
“So, how is it? Bitter?”
“Not quite, and there seems to be a unique scent of the herbs in it,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“You actually have neixi in you, which helps resist most of the things found here,” Wang Yao said .
He had experimented on his own body . He ingested herbs with certain levels of toxicity . There had been no unusual reactions from his body . Through his own sensations and further analysis, he deduced that there were two reasons why that was so . First, his constitution was far too superior compared to that of common folk . Such poisons were like an ant biting an elephant to the extent that he didn’t even feel an itch from it . Second, the neixi in his body was powerful enough to break down those toxins . Su Xiaoxue’s constitution was actually far superior to that of common folk, and her neixi was strong as well . Even without the special medicines that Wang Yao cooked for her, her body alone was able to resist a great many types of poisons .
