I Can See Through All Things' Information-Chapter 376 - 262: Benevolent Heart Medical Hall, The Mutated Poison_2
Lu Qing didn't lift his head, his hands ceaselessly moving. In an instant, he had inserted over ten needles into Old Wang's leg, sealing the wound inflicted by the snake bite.
Seeing Lu Qing's adept and decisive needlework, coupled with the strange blockage he had experienced himself, Uncle Li couldn't help but realize that the youth before him was no ordinary person.
He dared not make a fuss anymore, worried he would interfere with Lu Qing's procedure.
The others had also come around and held their breath, careful not to even let out a sigh, their eyes wide as they watched Lu Qing work.
Seeing that they were reasonable, Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
Life was of utmost importance. If these people had continued to be disruptive, he would have had to resort to extraordinary measures.
Only undisturbed could he focus on saving a life.
After sealing the wound on Old Wang's leg, amidst the silence, Lu Qing opened Old Wang's upper garments.

Then, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
All he could see was the chest of Old Wang blanketed with a bluish-black Qi, leaving only the heart untouched.
But the bluish-black Qi was slowly seeping toward the heart, visible to the naked eye.
Lu Qing knew that once this bluish-black Qi covered Old Wang's heart, it would be an indicator that the snake poison had fully invaded the heart.
By then, detoxifying and saving the man would be much more difficult.
He couldn't afford to delay, so he continued to take out a silver needle from his needle bag. Almost in the span of a breath, he inserted eighteen needles around Old Wang's heart area, creating an intricate needle array, completely sealing off his heart.
Once the needle array was formed, the leading and trailing energies connected, and it immediately began to buzz vibrantly, casting wave after wave of silvery light.
The progress of the bluish-black Qi, which had been gradually creeping toward the heart, was abruptly halted.
It was firmly blocked outside the needle array, utterly unable to penetrate.
This miraculous scene left the onlookers, especially the young apprentice, completely dumbfounded.
Having secured Old Wang's heart, Lu Qing finally exhaled a breath.
The patient was lucky. If he hadn't been brought in on time, or if Lu Qing hadn't happened to be there,
Just a little more time and the snake poison would have fully infected the heart, and he feared Old Wang would have surely been doomed.
"Young Master, is there hope for Old Wang?" asked Uncle Li cautiously after seeing Lu Qing stop his work.
"It's hard to say," Lu Qing shook his head. "The snake poison he's afflicted with is quite peculiar. It doesn't act quickly but is particularly troublesome. You must have given him snake medicine, but it doesn't seem very effective, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes," Uncle Li hurriedly replied, "As soon as Old Wang was bitten, we gave him medicine. We thought it was fine at first, but the situation kept worsening. That's why we brought him here."
Being Herb Gatherers, often wandering deep in the mountains, Uncle Li and his companions had considerable experience in preventing venomous snake and insect bites.
Every time they went up the mountain to gather herbs, not only would they carry a medicine bag to repel snakes and insects, but they would also always be prepared with antivenom.
The purpose was to be able to administer first aid promptly in case they were accidentally bitten.
"Moreover, it's strange. The snake that bit Old Wang is a Jin She, one we commonly see in the mountains.
Usually, Jin She are timid and flee at the sight of humans, very rarely attacking.
Their venom is not very potent, and as long as it's treated promptly, it's generally harmless.
But today, the Jin She that bit Old Wang didn't flee. It was very aggressive.
Old Wang had just seen it when it lunged and bit him!"
Uncle Li rambled on, recounting the situation at that time.
Hearing this, Lu Qing had a notion in mind but knew now was not the time to inquire; saving the man was more urgent.
Lu Qing turned to the young apprentice and said, "Young Master, I need to bleed Old Wang to detoxify him, and I'll need medicinal support. I'll recite the prescription, and you grab the herbs. Can you brew them as quickly as possible?"
The young apprentice, already astounded by Lu Qing's miraculous acupuncture skills, nodded eagerly in response to his instructions, "Okay... okay."
"Now grab the herbs. Half-leaf Sunflower, half an ounce; White Snake Flower, one ounce..."
Lu Qing recited the formula, his hands not slowing in their task. In an instant, a sharp little silver knife appeared in his hand.
First, Lu Qing removed the silver needles from Old Wang's leg.
With a small silver knife, he carved a cross incision on the snake bite wound.
Thick black blood immediately began to slowly flow from the wound.
"Bring a bowl over," Lu Qing ordered.
Uncle Li immediately found a large ceramic bowl used for patients taking medicine: "Young Master, here's the bowl."
Lu Qing took the bowl and placed it under Old Wang's injured leg.
He then flicked his fingers and waved them toward Old Wang's chest.
The array of eighteen silver needles instantly started to buzz again and began to tremble.
As the silver needles vibrated, everyone saw that the poison blood at Old Wang's wound started to come out at an increasing rate, dripping into the ceramic bowl.
When the poison blood flowed out, it immediately released a stench that made everyone's head spin upon inhaling it.
Lu Qing frowned and immediately said, "Step back a bit, this snake poison is no small matter. If you smell too much of it, I'm afraid you'll be poisoned too."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Li and the others were shocked and quickly retreated, covering their mouths and noses.
They became even more puzzled: wasn't it just a Jin She? How could it suddenly become so formidable?
It was as if the Jin She they knew was a completely different creature.
Seeing Uncle Li and the others stepping back, Lu Qing, standing straight with an unchanged expression, continued to operate the needle array and forced out the poison blood from Old Wang's body.
With the continuous operation of the needle array, the poison blood from Old Wang's body kept seeping out from the wound on his leg.
Soon, the ceramic bowl was filled.
This time, without needing Lu Qing's instruction, Uncle Li, with quick thinking, found a large ceramic pot and brought it over to Lu Qing, covering his mouth and nose.
Lu Qing poured the bowl of poison blood into the ceramic pot and continued to extract the poison.
In this manner, Lu Qing, under his relentless operation of the needle array, forced out three large pots of poison blood from Old Wang's body, until they saw the blood flowing from his leg wound gradually turn red.
This scene turned Uncle Li and the others pale.
They dared not imagine that with so much blood lost, could Old Wang still survive?
Fortunately, their concerns were unnecessary.
Because as the poison blood continued to be forced out, Old Wang's chest, which had been barely breathing, finally began to move, starting clear breathing.
His swollen, cyanotic leg also reduced in swelling significantly, and the cyanosis on his face had disappeared, showing a hint of color.
Just at this moment, the apprentice came out from the inner hall holding a bowl of medicine broth, cautiously: "Young Master, the medicine is ready."
"Give it to me."
Lu Qing took the medicine, swept it with his 'Superpower' and found that although the fire had been a bit too strong and had lost quite a bit of its medicinal properties, at least it was still usable.
He administered the medicine to Old Wang, helped him assimilate the power of the medicine with acupuncture, and then removed all the silver needles. At the same time, he covered the pot of poison blood to prevent it from spreading further.
"Young Master, how is Old Wang now?"
At this point, seeing Lu Qing was done, Uncle Li and the others approached.
"The snake poison in his body has mostly been forced out by me. There are still some remnants of the poison, but after taking this medicine, he should be able to clear it completely.
However, Old Wang's inner organs have been severely damaged by the snake poison this time. I'm afraid it will take him quite some time to recover.
In a moment, I'll write a prescription for nourishing the body. Have him take the medicine regularly, and after a while, he should be able to recover."
"Thank you, Young Master, thank you very much."
Hearing this, Uncle Li grabbed Lu Qing's hand, thanking him effusively.
"Young Master doesn't know, Old Wang has three children, and his wife is disabled. The whole family of five depends on him for food.
If he were gone, I really don't know how those orphans and widows would survive!"
Uncle Li said, choking up.
The others also expressed their thanks to Lu Qing.
"There's no need to be so polite," Lu Qing said with a smile, "I am a doctor, and my teacher always teaches that as a doctor, we must take it as our responsibility to treat and save the sick. This is all part of what I should do."
"Oh, I wonder which great doctor is your teacher, to be able to teach such an outstanding Divine Doctor like yourself."
At that moment, a gentle voice came from outside the medical hall.
"Teacher!"
The apprentice, excited upon hearing the voice, called out.
