Chapter 504: 504
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 time or the consequences would have been dire . Nobody had expected that a physician from the Medical Sect would be in cahoots with Sacred Flame Sect . If news of this got out, the reputation of Medical 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 outcome 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 times . It was really quite interesting . He actually found it very odd, as he could not figure out just who had managed to experiment with strange poisons . In future, he would also experiment 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 medical 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 some 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 intermediate 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 someone 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 means that I am fated to die . I will definitely not blame my young friend . ” Old Grandfather Chen had thought that Mo Wen was worried about an accident happening during the treatment process . Hence, he tried to reassure him . Anyway, even without treatment, 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 treatment . He had even treated the Massacre’s Host before . The worst case scenario was that the treatment 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 treatment process, we require an absolutely quiet environment,” Mo Wen’s gaze moved over to Chen Zikuang .
Upon hearing that, Chen Zikuang did not say a second word as he immediately 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 something to say to me in private?” Chen Wuhui smiled . Beforehand, when Mo Wen had started treatment, he had not chased everyone out . Yet, he had now ushered everyone out, including Chen Zikuang . Clearly, he had some 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 me for no reason must mean that there is nothing good about this . ” Chen Wuhui smiled .
“What are you saying? Of course it is something 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 me?”
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 become an Immortal Cultivator already . The techniques that he grasped were not something 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 met, getting Old Grandfather Chen fully recovered in a week was already being generous with the time .
“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 Medical Sect had made a trip down personally . It was only possible if he ate the wonder medicine given by Huatian Palace . However, Intentionless Sect did not have such treasures . He had already eaten some of the healing medicinal pills but the effects were very minor .

To him, as well as the entire Intentionless Sect, time 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 Flame 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 met, 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 meets the eye about Mo Wen appearing in Intentionless Sect at such a time . 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 me?” Mo Wen asked calmly . Naturally, he had a motive behind going over to Intentionless Sect .
“You are forcing me 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 time .
“Those sects that had branched out from the Ming Clan would not come 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 time 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 something easy . The conditions for me 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 moment . ” 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 met 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 treatment 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 . Immediately, he could tell that this lad, Mo Wen, was not someone 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 treatment 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 permeated 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 something . The moment he saw Mo Wen exit, he immediately welcomed him .
