Chapter 343: Rain Spirit Grass
Lin Feng shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I also urgently need this Rain Spirit Grass. Although I'm not using it to save someone, I need it to catch a villain. If that villain isn't caught, he will harm more people, far exceeding the value of your grandfather's life."
"After all, if your grandfather dies, only he dies, but if that villain isn't brought to justice, hundreds or thousands of people will die at his hands."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Li Lingshan's eyes turned red, and tears were about to spill from her eye sockets.
"I... I'll give you one million, okay?" Li Lingshan asked, crying.
"This isn't a matter of money. I've already made myself so clear; can you still not understand?" Lin Feng said.
"But... but I don't want my grandfather to die..."
Li Lingshan said, sobbing, and finally began to shed little pearls of tears.
Looking at Li Lingshan's pitiful appearance, Lin Feng's heart softened in the end.
But even so, Lin Feng did not intend to give the Rain Spirit Grass to her.
"What kind of poison does your grandfather have?" Lin Feng asked.
"I... I don't know..." Li Lingshan shook her head, crying.
"Then how about this: you take me to see your grandfather. Perhaps I can neutralize the poison in his body, and this way, there will be no need for the Rain Spirit Grass to save your grandfather's life," Lin Feng said.
"Then what if you can't? What if you can't neutralize the toxins in my grandfather's body?" Li Lingshan asked again.
"I will think of another way," Lin Feng said earnestly.
Only then did Li Lingshan nod, and then she led the way for Lin Feng.
Half an hour later, Lin Feng followed Li Lingshan to a luxury hotel and entered a suite.
An old man was lying on the bed, his eye sockets deeply sunken, his lips blue; he was currently in a state of deep coma, and his body temperature was slightly lower than that of a normal person.
Because of this, his breathing was very weak and slow; if one did not observe carefully, one could not even tell he was still breathing.
"Before my grandfather fell into a coma, he told me that as long as I could find Rain Spirit Grass and grind it into powder for him to take, he would still have a chance to be saved..." Li Lingshan sobbed.
"Don't worry, let me examine him first."
After Lin Feng finished speaking, he strode to the front of Li Lingshan's grandfather, raised a hand, and pressed it onto his chest.
Pure Divine Dragon True Qi immediately flowed out from Lin Feng's palm, drilling continuously into the body of Li Lingshan's grandfather and wandering throughout his entire body.
Before long, a look of realization appeared on Lin Feng's face.
Lin Feng had already figured out exactly what kind of toxin was in the body of Li Lingshan's grandfather.
It was the famous Rain Flower Poison.
Neutralizing Rain Flower Poison requires the use of Rain Flower Spirit Grass, but Rain Flower Spirit Grass is extremely rare and uncommon; it cannot be bought just with money.
However, Rain Spirit Grass can serve as a substitute.
Although one stalk of Rain Spirit Grass cannot completely neutralize the Rain Flower Poison, three stalks of Rain Spirit Grass are enough to reduce the toxin to a level completely harmless to the human body.
Even taking just one stalk of Rain Spirit Grass can suppress the Rain Flower Poison for a certain period, thereby buying time to completely neutralize the toxins.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "I thought it was some formidable toxin; it turns out to be Rain Flower Poison after all this."
"Does that mean you can cure my grandfather?" Li Lingshan asked excitedly.
"Of course, I can neutralize this kind of toxin with a wave of my hand."
As Lin Feng spoke, he pressed his right hand onto the chest of Li Lingshan's grandfather again; the flame pattern on the back of his right hand suddenly twisted, as if it had come alive.
And this was the sign of the Ten Thousand Poison Ghost Hand being activated!
As Lin Feng activated the Ten Thousand Poison Ghost Hand, an invisible vortex suddenly appeared in the palm of his right hand.
Consequently, the Rain Flower Poison in the body of Li Lingshan's grandfather was forcibly extracted, flowing continuously like a dragon drawing water.
As the toxins continuously vanished, the complexion of Li Lingshan's grandfather gradually recovered, and his blue lips slowly regained their color.
Ten minutes later, all the Rain Flower Poison in the body of Li Lingshan's grandfather had been sucked into the Ten Thousand Poison Ghost Hand by Lin Feng and suppressed.
In this way, the toxins in the body of Li Lingshan's grandfather were naturally neutralized by Lin Feng.
"Alright, your grandfather is fine now," Lin Feng said.
Li Lingshan's face was full of disbelief as she asked, "You... you didn't lie to me? You aren't joking?"
"Of course not. If you don't believe me, come over and check for yourself," Lin Feng said with a smile.
Li Lingshan then ran over with quick steps, stretched out her two small hands, and pressed them onto her grandfather, shaking him hard.
"Grandfather, Grandfather, wake up!"
Li Lingshan shook him a few times, and her grandfather slowly opened his eyes, coughing as he woke up.
Seeing that her grandfather had truly woken up, Li Lingshan shed tears again.
But this time she was not anxious; she was happy. She was crying tears of joy.
"Lingshan, did you find the Rain Spirit Grass?" Li Lingshan's grandfather asked.
Li Lingshan wiped the tears from her face, shook her head quickly, and pointed at Lin Feng, saying, "Grandfather, I didn't buy the Rain Spirit Grass. The last stalk of Rain Spirit Grass at that large pharmacy was bought by Mr. Lin."
"But Mr. Lin is really amazing. It was he who neutralized the toxins in your body, which is why you were able to wake up..."
Hearing Li Lingshan's words, Old Li immediately looked toward Lin Feng, a look of deep shock appearing on his aged face.
"May I ask who you are, sir?" Old Li asked.
"My name is Lin Feng; you can just call me Mr. Lin," Lin Feng said indifferently.
Old Li then hurriedly got off the bed, bowed, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for saving my life. Your great kindness is impossible to repay. I..."
"Enough with the pleasantries. How exactly did you get poisoned?" Lin Feng asked.
Old Li sighed and said bitterly, "This is a disaster I planted when I was young."
"Tell me in detail," Lin Feng said.
Old Li then explained, telling Lin Feng the whole story from beginning to end.
Old Li's name was Li Shangde, and he came from Minle City.
He was not only a Martial Artist but also proficient in medical skills; because of this, he was somewhat ostentatious and very high-profile in his conduct.
Thus, in his youth, Li Shangde had countless opponents and made many enemies.
As the saying goes, what goes around comes around; although Li Shangde had his rough edges smoothed out by time as he aged, he chose to retire from the pugilistic world.
But not long ago, his old enemies came knocking, not only killing his son and daughter-in-law but also hunting him and his granddaughter, Li Lingshan.
In order to protect his granddaughter Li Lingshan, Li Shangde was struck by that person's poison palm, causing the Rain Flower Poison to enter his body and make him grow weaker by the day.
As for what happened afterward, Lin Feng could guess even without Li Shangde saying it.
With the poison deepening day by day, Li Shangde held on by a single breath and fled with his granddaughter Li Lingshan to Binhai City, but once he arrived here, he could no longer hold on, so he had Li Lingshan search for Rain Spirit Grass for him.
"Who is that enemy of yours?" Lin Feng asked.
"Mr. Lin, you certainly wouldn't know him, but since you want to know, this old man will tell you... that fellow is named Zhou Jian, a Martial Venerable Peak expert, and his Martial Skill contains poison, known as the Ink Cloud Poison Palm."
