Chapter 91: Chapter 91: The Art of the Divine Doctor (Requesting Recommendation Votes)

The leader of the three turned back to glance at the third man, who had already fallen into a coma, then looked at the second man beside him. From their eyes, it was clear that their trust in Lin Xi had suddenly dropped to its lowest point.

"Two hundred diagnosis fee?" The leader stared at Lin Xi, trying to find something amiss, but ultimately found nothing.

"Exactly." Lin Xi said firmly, though he was warning himself that any lower would damage his unparalleled medical skills.

"Alright..." Both men were decisive individuals, and even if their third companion’s situation worsened, could it be worse than it was now?

Only then did Lin Xi step forward, placing his middle and index fingers on the man’s wrist. In less than ten seconds, he stood up and said, "Take off his shirt."

The two stepped forward, with one lifting him up while the other removed his T-shirt. After finishing, they looked at Lin Xi again, asking what to do next.

"Lay him down, and step aside." Lin Xi stepped forward again.

At this point, everyone present could clearly see a black patch the size of an adult’s fist on the man’s chest, which looked extremely frightening.

"This is called Seven-Step Smile. It’s said that after being poisoned, one smiles with each step, dying at the seventh step. But the truth is, it’s a highly obscure poison." Lin Xi gently pressed the black patch with his finger and continued, "Though obscure, its toxicity is extremely vicious."

"Vicious?" Xiang Juan, observing intently from the side, couldn’t help but ask curiously.

"Yes, although the poison takes a full half-hour to claim a life, it’s that very half-hour that causes the victim to suffer a fate worse than death, especially in those last few minutes, when one’s will completely collapses and perishes." Lin Xi explained.

The two nodded; they and their third companion were steadfast individuals, never encountering anything that scared them or tested their endurance.

But this time, their third companion shouted over a dozen times during the journey, even wished the two would just end him, something never seen before.

Previously, even with several gunshot wounds, he didn’t so much as groan.

They weren’t sure if Lin Xi was telling the truth, but the despair was something they believed, so they began wondering whether this man truly had the skill.

"Give me a knife, any knife will do, but first disinfect it." Lin Xi said, without turning his head, grabbing the poisoned man’s wrist.

Xiang Juan prepared to go inside to get it, but just then saw one of them draw a dark gray dagger from his waist and burn the blade with a lighter, then handed it to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi took the dagger, his eyes flickered with recognition; the military knife seemed familiar, likely used by some Mercenary Corps in Southeast Asia.

Forgot what they’re specifically called because, to Lin Xi’s eyes, there weren’t many Mercenary Corps he remembered distinctly.

Slash!

A jet of black blood spurted out from the poisoned man’s wrist. Lin Xi placed the dagger, stained with a trace of blood, aside and spoke, as if he had eyes on his back, "Don’t be nervous. It’s nothing serious."

"The bleeding will naturally stop, and the wound will soon scab over."

Xiang Juan couldn’t help but step back; she’d never seen such a scene before, nor witnessed anyone treating illness like this.

She felt a bit panicked and hoped her grandfather would return quickly — Lin Xi was very unreliable; what if he accidentally harmed them?

But the two men, after Lin Xi’s explanation, became calm.

Because initially, Lin Xi’s slash had indeed startled them, but upon closer inspection, the cut cleverly avoided arteries and veins.

This meant the injury was very minor.

"There’s still time," Lin Xi smelled the pungent scent of blood in the air and found the poison should still be in the man’s blood vessels, with very little in the flesh.

If it spread to flesh throughout the body a little later, then not even a Daluo Golden Immortal could save him.

Of course, the Nine Divine Needles of Heaven-Reversing were an exception.

But the extent now wasn’t enough to compel Lin Xi to use the Nine Divine Needles of Heaven-Reversing.

In a speed invisible to the human eyes of the two men and Xiang Juan, Lin Xi suddenly had about five or six ten-centimeter-long snow-white silver needles in his hand.

In an instant, the silver needles vanished from Lin Xi’s hand and appeared in several positions on the poisoned man’s chest and abdomen.

Lin Xi was blocking several major points in his body to prevent the toxin from flowing into the points of life-and-death while using Inner Strength to expel the poison later.

"You two come over and help him sit up." Lin Xi stood up and commanded again.

By this time, the two had already witnessed Lin Xi’s skilled technique, especially when he used the silver needles with unmatched speed and decisiveness, raising their hopes enormously.

After they helped their third companion sit up from both sides, Lin Xi ensured they must sit him properly — negligence at this point would lead to consequences they would not want to bear.

Lin Xi had already circled to the back of the poisoned person, pressing his right palm onto his back, and motionlessly closed his eyes.

The Xuan Yuan Divine Dragon Technique rapidly circulated within his body, with strands of True Qi slowly channeled into the man’s body, whose pale complexion quickly improved.

Indeed, it was expected since Lin Xi’s Cultivation Technique was heaven-defying, and the True Qi cultivated through it was extremely potent — not only overwhelmingly powerful but possessing an unprecedented vitality.

Therefore, once the True Qi entered the man’s body, his exhausted life fire seemed to be soothed by Immortal Liquid.

However, even that wasn’t sufficient.

Lin Xi’s goal was to expel the Seven-Step Smile poison, as introducing True Qi without expelling the toxin was meaningless.

With a thought, the True Qi within the man’s body seemed alive, with a slight domineering hint, pursuing the poison within the blood.

Although True Qi couldn’t dissolve the poison, the toxin avoided True Qi like a scorpion when it appeared, fleeing from wherever True Qi passed.

Under Lin Xi’s control, the Seven-Step Smile poison was forced step-by-step along the established path towards the cut on the wrist.

In less than three minutes, the slightly solidified blood scab suddenly burst open, and streams of black blood shot out.

Xiang Juan and the two men holding their third companion were startled.

They originally didn’t understand why Lin Xi put his palm on their third companion’s back, pondering if he was using Inner Strength to expel the poison?

If they didn’t find themselves in such a difficult situation, they wouldn’t even want to put their hopes on Lin Xi, especially since he made some unreliable moves occasionally.

But now, they were shocked, "Damn, they encountered a legendary expert who expelled the toxin with bare hands using Inner Strength."

"This is incredibly fantastical, isn’t it?"

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, even speaking of it wouldn’t convince anyone.

"Hmm?"

The two were wildly delighted; the sound was made by their third companion, seemingly about to wake up.

PS: Went to eat barbecue with colleagues today, and had a foot massage, too. It was too late, and my head is still dizzy.
