Chapter 422: Seeking the Antidote

Chen Chen Zihao looked at Ding Ding Xiaoyu nervously: "You must hold on!"

They immediately went to find a doctor again and explained Ding Ding Xiaoyu's situation one by one.

The doctor frowned and said: "This type of toxin cannot be resolved in a hospital; our antidotes cannot handle this unknown poison."

Chen Chen Zihao and Chu Tian felt incredibly desperate; they understood that time was running out. ### CHAPTER 899

Ding Ding Xiaoyu lay on the hospital bed with a pale face.

She forced a smile to comfort them: "It's okay, I will hold on."

Chu Tian clenched his fists: "We will definitely find a way to save you, definitely!"

Chen Chen Zihao also nodded nervously: "Right, we won't give up."

They immediately left the hospital and began searching for a way to resolve this toxin.

The wind howled in the streets as night fell.

Chen Chen Zihao and Chu Tian wove through the dim streets.

Searching for any clue that could save Ding Ding Xiaoyu.

They arrived at a traditional Chinese medicine shop and asked the owner about detoxifying medicines.

The owner shook his head: "I have never even heard of this kind of toxin; I'm afraid the medicines here cannot solve it."

Disappointment appeared on the faces of Chen Chen Zihao and Chu Tian.

But they did not give up and continued to search for hope in the corners of the city.

Amidst the vast sea of people.

Chen Chen Zihao and Chu Tian both felt incredibly anxious.

Time waits for no one; they had to find a way to detoxify within two days.

Otherwise, Ding Ding Xiaoyu would die from the illness.

They ran through the entire city.

But they still gained nothing, and the two sat exhausted on a bench by the street.

Chen Chen Zihao punched the air in anger: "God! What kind of poison is this? Why can't we find a solution?!"

Chu Tian also appeared somewhat agitated: "Don't rush, we still have one day. We cannot give up."

Chen Chen Zihao gave a bitter smile: "One day, what can we find? We've already run through the entire city!"

Chu Tian suddenly stood up angrily: "What kind of attitude is that? With just this much confidence, how can you save Ding Ding Xiaoyu?!"

Chen Chen Zihao also became agitated: "What's wrong with me? Am I not trying my best too?! Do you think I don't want to save her?!"

The two's argument became increasingly intense, and surrounding pedestrians cast strange looks their way.

Amidst the arguing, a newspaper vendor quietly walked over.

He handed Chu Tian a newspaper: "Sir, perhaps there is information you need on this."

Chu Tian was stunned and took the newspaper.

He glared at Chen Chen Zihao: "Never mind you for now, let me see what's on here."

Chen Chen Zihao sat down angrily, rolling his eyes: "Just a newspaper, what use is that?"

Chu Tian flipped the newspaper to a report about a mysterious figure named the Poison Doctor.

This Poison Doctor was said to be well-versed in poisons, and he could even resolve rare toxins of the world.

0 ... ...

Chu Tian pointed at the report excitedly: "Look! This Poison Doctor! Maybe he can save Ding Xiaoyu! Let's go find him!"

Chen Chen Zihao immediately put away his displeasure, his face full of hope: "Then let's go quickly!"

The two cast aside their argument and set off on the journey to find the Poison Doctor once again.

As the night deepened, Chen Chen Zihao and Chu Tian searched the silent streets for the Poison Doctor's whereabouts.

After much trouble.

Chen Chen Zihao and Chu Tian finally found that mysterious Poison Doctor.

It was said he lived in a dilapidated small building on the edge of the city.

As night fell, the two passed through a dark small woods and arrived at the Poison Doctor's residence.

Moonlight spilled onto the dilapidated building, appearing somewhat eerie and exuding a gloomy atmosphere.

Chen Chen Zihao swallowed nervously: "It feels a bit terrifying here." ### CHAPTER 900

Chu Tian took a deep breath: "To save Ding Xiaoyu, we must bite the bullet and go."

They knocked on the door, but there was no response.

Chen Chen Zihao was somewhat discouraged: "What do we do? What if he won't see us?"

Chu Tian knocked hard on the door and shouted: "Mr. Poison Doctor, we have come to ask you to save someone, please come out!"

The door remained tightly shut, with not the slightest movement.

Just as they were preparing to leave.

A low voice suddenly came: "Are you here to find me to detoxify?"

Chen Chen Zihao and Chu Tian were instantly invigorated: "Yes, our friend is poisoned, we need your help!"

That low voice said slowly: "Unfortunately, I am no longer willing to save people."

Chu Tian said urgently: "I beg you, our friend... she only has two days left, if she isn't detoxified, she will die!"

The voice seemed somewhat shaken, but still refused:

"Sorry, I have decided not to concern myself with worldly affairs anymore, you should look for another way."

Chen Chen Zihao and Chu Tian instantly felt desperate; they knew this might be the last glimmer of hope to save Ding Ding Xiaoyu.

Chu Tian suddenly knelt on the ground, tears welling up: "I beg you, save our friend! We are willing to pay any price!"

Chen Chen Zihao followed suit, kneeling on the ground: "I beg you, Mr. Poison Doctor!"

Just then, the tightly shut door slowly opened, and an old man with a face full of wrinkles appeared at the entrance.

He looked at Chen Chen Zihao and Chu Tian kneeling on the ground, a trace of being moved flashing in his eyes:

"To save your friend, you are actually able to put aside your pride and kneel to beg me. For the sake of your sincerity, I can consider helping you."

"But before that, you must help me solve a difficult problem."

Hearing this, Chen Chen Zihao and Chu Tian immediately stood up: "Mr. Poison Doctor, please tell us, as long as it is something we can do, we will definitely try our best to complete it!"

The Poison Doctor nodded and led them into the dilapidated small building.

The layout inside the building was quite archaic.

The walls were hung with strange instruments, appearing mysterious and unfathomable.

The Poison Doctor brought them to a study.

The study was filled with various medical books and jars and bottles.

He picked up a yellowed ancient book and pointed to a passage of text: "This is a difficult problem I have been researching, regarding a poison called the Mystery of the Zither and Lute."

Chu Tian and Chen Chen Zihao looked at the text with intense concentration, trying to find a solution.

The Poison Doctor sighed: "The antidote for this poison requires an extremely rare herb—the Profound Ice Grass."

"And this herb only grows in the Frozen Mountain Range a thousand miles away, and it is nearly extinct."

Chen Chen Zihao and Chu Tian looked at each other, feeling the task was arduous.

Chu Tian gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Poison Doctor, please rest assured, we will definitely do everything possible to help you find this Profound Ice Grass."

The Poison Doctor smiled slightly: "Then I will leave it to you. As long as you can find the Profound Ice Grass, I will definitely save your friend."

Chen Chen Zihao and Chu Tian quickly bid farewell to the Poison Doctor and set off on the journey to find the Profound Ice Grass.

Crossing countless rugged mountain roads, facing dangers at every turn, they searched desperately for traces of the Profound Ice Grass.

Having experienced countless hardships.

Finally, in a valley in the Frozen Mountain Range, they discovered the rare Profound Ice Grass.

Filled with joy, they brought the Profound Ice Grass back to the Poison Doctor.

Seeing the Profound Ice Grass, the Poison Doctor was overjoyed: "You really completed the task, very good, what I promised you, I will definitely fulfill."

Then, the Poison Doctor began to concoct the antidote; he refined the Profound Ice Grass with other medicinal materials. ### CHAPTER 901
