"Don't worry, Auntie and Uncle, I've invited the two most formidable physicians from the southeastern cultivation world. I'm confident they can cure Ke Qing's poison!"
Hearing the voice, Ye Feng turned around quickly and saw the effeminate Ge Nan.
Behind him followed a middle-aged man, who was none other than Ge Nan's second uncle, the one who had targeted him that day.
Su Ke Qing's mother's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Little Ge, is that true?"
"That's wonderful! As long as my Ke Qing is cured, whether it's cultivation techniques, martial skills, spirit stones, spirit artifacts, or even rare treasures, I, Su Jianfeng, will do my best to satisfy you!" the man beside her added.
"Of course! With these two here, I believe Ke Qing's poison can definitely be cured!" Ge Nan said confidently.
The others present were all surprised.
"The two most formidable physicians in the southeastern region? Who are they?"
"Indeed! In the southeastern region, who dares to claim they are the most formidable physician?"
"That's right, I'd like to see who he's invited! Someone who dares to call themselves the most formidable physician in the southeastern region!"
...
Su Ke Qing's parents urged, "Little Ge, where are they? Hurry and invite them in!"
Ye Feng was also very curious, eager to know who these so-called most formidable physicians were.
"Alright! Please welcome Master Gongsun, who possesses the 'miraculous hands of spring'!" Ge Nan shouted loudly.
Hearing the title, Ye Feng couldn't help but be startled, as it sounded very familiar.
When the person entered, Ye Feng was stunned.
It was the same Master Gongsun whom the Tang family had invited to treat the Xiao family patriarch when he was gravely ill!
Ye Feng recalled that after treating the Xiao family patriarch, Master Gongsun had eagerly sought his advice on medical theories and pharmacology.
He had even begged Ye Feng to teach him acupuncture techniques.
At the time, Ye Feng had generously shared many acupuncture methods, though he wasn't sure how much Master Gongsun had grasped.
He hadn't expected Master Gongsun to be invited by Ge Nan today.
Upon seeing Master Gongsun enter, everyone was surprised and began to murmur.
"Wow, it's the recently renowned Master Gongsun!"
"Yes! I can't believe they managed to invite Master Gongsun! That's amazing!"
"It's no exaggeration to call Master Gongsun one of the most formidable physicians in the southeastern region!"
The people around spoke of Master Gongsun with admiration.
Master Gongsun, hearing their words, proudly raised his head.
At this point, someone unfamiliar with the matter asked quietly, "I've heard of Master Gongsun a few years ago; he was quite skilled, and had a title like 'miraculous hands of spring'! But calling him one of the most formidable physicians in the southeastern region seems a bit much!"
"Hey, friend! You're just out of touch!" someone beside him replied.
The first person, confused, continued, "Oh? Then please enlighten me, elder brother. How am I out of touch!"
"Alright, let me tell you! A few years ago, it might have been an exaggeration to call Master Gongsun one of the most formidable physicians in the southeastern region!"
"But last year, Master Gongsun learned a set of acupuncture techniques and medical theories from somewhere! They are simply miraculous, capable of curing all diseases. In the past year or so, he has treated dozens of patients, curing all sorts of difficult and complicated illnesses!"
"Recently, he has been hailed by many physicians as one of the most formidable physicians in the southeastern region..."
Ye Feng, standing nearby, overheard their conversation clearly.
What left him speechless was that all those acupuncture techniques and medical theories were learned from him!
"Good comprehension! You've improved quite quickly!" Ye Feng thought with a faint smile as he looked at Master Gongsun.
However, looking at Su Ke Qing's current condition, Ye Feng doubted Master Gongsun could cure her.
Su Ke Qing's face was pale, her body tinged with purple, and her neck and chest were covered in terrifying black patterns, clearly indicating an unusual poison.
Coincidentally, when Ye Feng had been examining his little snake, he had seen these same symptoms listed on the "Poisonous Rank" in the "Immortal Doctor" scripture.
He knew how difficult this potent poison was to cure, and with Master Gongsun's current medical skills, he estimated an over eighty percent chance of failure.
Even if he had mastered all the medical theories and acupuncture methods Ye Feng had taught him, he could at best suppress the poison.
At this moment, someone asked, "Hey, weren't there supposed to be two most formidable physicians? Where's the other one?"
Ge Nan replied, "The other one will arrive shortly. Let's see if Master Gongsun can neutralize this poison first! Master Gongsun, please proceed!"
Master Gongsun nodded and stepped forward.
Ye Feng stood aside, observing Master Gongsun's performance, wanting to gauge his recent progress in medical skills.
Master Gongsun approached Su Ke Qing, examined her condition, and then placed his hand on her wrist to take her pulse.
After a moment, he frowned deeply, appearing very serious.
The onlookers were all puzzled.
Su Ke Qing's mother anxiously asked, "Master Gongsun, how is my Ke Qing?"
"Yes! What kind of poison has Ke Qing contracted? Can it be cured?" Su Ke Qing's father also asked with concern.
Master Gongsun replied solemnly, "To you both, this poison is something I've never seen or heard of before! However, it should be curable!"
Upon hearing the first part, Su Ke Qing's parents' faces fell into despair, but the latter half filled them with ecstatic joy.
"R-really? That's wonderful!" Su Ke Qing's mother cried tears of joy, her sorrow turning to happiness.
Su Ke Qing's father exclaimed excitedly, "Excellent, Master Gongsun! Once Ke Qing is cured, you will forever be my great benefactor, Su Jianfeng!"
Master Gongsun quickly interjected, "Please don't be too happy yet, as I am not entirely confident!"
Hearing this, the parents calmed down and said, "Alright, alright, just do your best. That's all we ask!"
"Mmm-hmm! Please, everyone, make some space and do not disturb me!" Master Gongsun requested.
The crowd complied, clearing a sufficient area.
Master Gongsun then began his procedure, taking out a set of silver needles to perform acupuncture and suppress the poison.
Ye Feng nodded at this step, realizing that Master Gongsun had indeed learned a lot from him.
However, before Ye Feng could feel pleased, Master Gongsun's next action made him frown.
After performing acupuncture, Master Gongsun produced a small bottle.
As soon as he opened it, a pungent odor caused everyone to recoil.
Ye Feng recognized the smell and knew it was another potent poison!
He then intended to feed this potent poison to Su Ke Qing.
Was he planning to use poison to fight poison?
Seeing this, Ye Feng immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Stop! You'll only kill Su Ke Qing by doing this..."
