Chapter 666: Both are Possible

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

 Both are Possible

“Professor Guan, Lil’ Yi, you guys came!” Only Pengzhan noticed this detail. No matter what happened, Lin Yi was still a junior, so he put Xuemin’s name before Lin Yi.

“I’m just following Lil’ Yi, it…..” Xuemin was a scholar, so he never cared about his reputation or appearances. If Lin Yi was better than him, then he was better. He would never try to cover it. However, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Yushu.

“Shield bro, you’ve finally arrived! Faster, check on Yaoyao sis. You have to make her recover!”

Lin Yi nodded, his expression was dignified when he held onto Mengyao’s hand to check her pulse.

Weak, it was extraordinarily weak. It was no different from a dying old man! However, looking from Elder Jiao’s perspective, the energy was just flowing out of Mengyao at supernatural speed. When a person lost all their energy, that was the moment they reach the last phase of life.

Lin Yi frowned. Her condition was absurd. There were a few possibilities that could have caused it. One, it had to be the individual’s problem. Someone could be born with an incurable disease but Mengyao didn’t seem to have it.

The next possibility was a malignant disease, cancer as an example. But judging from Mengyao’s previous condition, she wasn’t even close to having such a thing.

Other than that, there were two unusual possibilities. First, she was hit by a master, causing all of her internal organs to be critically damaged, resulting in this ageing sign. The second was poisoning. There was a certain type of poison that could rapidly damage the organs’ function, killing one faster.

Lin Yi hadn’t read the reports yet. He didn’t even have time for that as he asked Xuemin, “Grandpa Guan, what do you think?”

Xuemin quickly answered Lin Yi, “The experts have two directions. For now, they suspect that these students are either infected by some unknown bacteria or food poisoning.”

“Bacteria? Poison?” Lin Yi nodded. “Both are possible.”

“Both are possible?” Xuemin startled. He couldn’t believe that Lin Yi actually agreed with the bacteria’s theory. This surprised him a little.

“I had once studied parasitic poison pretty thoroughly in the past. Actually many poisons from the parasitic disease are actually a kind of bacteria, and the infected ones have the same experience as these students.” Lin Yi continued, “Despite that, back to the source. This is still poisoning. Parasitic poison can still be considered a poison.”

“I see!” Xuemin’d never heard of a parasitic poison. He only realized he was being biased after listening to Lin Yi’s explanation. What Zhang Weikang said wasn’t all wrong, either! Of course, it was just pure coincidence for Zhang Weikang to hit the bullseye while plotting something bad. This was also something out of his league.

Lin Yi was just analyzing, He wasn’t certain that Mengyao was actually poisoned, but he could easily make her conscious. The tough part was to maintain her consciousness after waking her up!

“Grandpa Guan, is there anything wrong with the food in the stomach?” Lin Yi was actually assuming that, but he still asked anyway.

“Not at all!” Xuemin said: “At least, that’s what was written on the report. The food is not poisonous, but there are a few types of poisons from herbs or insects that are undetected by the chemical tests!”

Lin Yi nodded, “I know about that, I’m actually pretty good at poisons. Tang’s Poison Incantations has basically covered all the poisons in the world and detoxifications as well.”

As a matter of fact, Lin Yi had evidently made a great deal of research regarding poisons. His old man was one of the main reasons why he was so good at it. Lin Yi hadn’t had an idea why was his old man so obsessed with poisons and parasitic poisons. But, it made Lin Yi an expert in making poisons and antidotes too.

” Tang’s Poison Incantations ?! You have read Tang’s Poison Incantations before?” Xuemin’s expression changed instantly, looking at Lin Yi with unbelieving eyes! He had once read an ancient book where the name of Tang’s Poison Incantations was recommended when Thousand Year Poison was mentioned!

Tang’s Poison Incantations,  as its name implied, it was from Tang’s sect, one of the mysterious books. The Tang’s base was in Sichuan, also called as the Tang’s fort. They were very famous throughout the world because of their poisons! However, their works had failed to be handed down from past generations. Sometimes, we could only see it in some Wuxia novels or movies. The existence of this sect was still a mystery until now, so even Xuemin himself was unsure ifTang’s Poison Incantations really existed or not. These types of medical ancient books weren’t documented conservatively, after all. The events mentioned in it were absurd, some were true and some were false, there was no way to differentiate it!

“Yeah.” Lin Yi nodded. There was more than just Tang’s Poison Incantations in his old home. They also had the Book of Five Poisons and some poison-related books could be found there too.

Xuemin got even excited at the thought that Lin Yi might be the descendant of a medical noble house. How was he able to have access to these lost ancient medical books? Of course, Xuemin knew the best that this was not the time for questions, so he compressed the excitement in his heart down and asked, “Then, can you save them?”

“If they were really poisoned, then I’m positive. Let me try first.” Lin Yi didn’t answer the question completely. Before leaving the mountain, his old man said that he had already mastered one-third of his capability. It was more than enough for him to live a carefree life in a mundane world of strife. However, Lin Yi wasn’t overconfident. Who knew if he could really make things right?

As things stood, Lin Yi wasn’t concerned about Mengyao’s safety at all. As long as he could continuously supply the pure qi into her body, the energy that Elder Jiao said, he could pretty much keep Mengyao’s life limitlessly. Even if he was unable to undo the poison, he could make his old man come down to rescue her.

Although his old man was always bragging how good he was, like being the number one miracle doctor in the whole world, Lin Yi knew that his old man was a real deal. Although there was still a gap between him and his old man, they were just on different levels…

Lin Yi silently activated the Art of Dragon Mastery within him, sending energy into Mengyao’s body. Luckily, her body wasn’t like Xiaoxiao. She wasn’t a black hole who sucked every last bit of energy out of Lin Yi.

Mengyao was a normal person so not much of energy was needed. The energy he needed was just a drop in the ocean. This relieved Lin Yi! If Mengyao were to suck his energy dry like Xiaoxiao, then he couldn’t save Mengyao. He needed time to recharge back, didn’t he?

After the energy entered Mengyao’s body, she quickly regained back the traces of life. Her whole body was hyped in energy. Not long, her eyelashes started to move. Yushu, who was beside Mengyao, glared at Mengyao with opened eyes. She could see the change in Mengyao, as she hoorayed in surprise, “Yaoyao sis, are you waking up?”
