Chapter 203: Soul Poison?

Lu Tianyu nodded upon hearing this: "There is no time to lose, take me to see him."

"If I am unable to help, I will send a message to my teacher; you can take people directly to find my master."

He also knew that Wan Tianhao did not fully trust him.

After all, not many people knew of his medical skills.

"Good!"

Wan Tianhao led Lu Tianyu toward the Chengzhu Fu: "Young Master Lu, my son mistakenly entered a dangerous place and has been unconscious since he returned. I have invited two masters in succession, but neither could find the cause."

"The Ancestor of my Heavenly Machine Sect suspects that my son may have been afflicted by Soul Poison, but it is extremely difficult to cure Soul Poison; only the great experts of the Emperor Star Domain have a way."

"It does not matter whether you can cure him or not, Young Master; I guarantee you will be able to use the long-distance Transmission Array!"

His words were sincere.

Lu Tianyu rubbed his nose: "If it really is Soul Poison, I do have a way to resolve it, but if it happens not to be, I might not be able to solve it."

The method the Qian Gu Nu Di passed to him for resolving Soul Poison was very simple: one only needed to use the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron to absorb it.

It could even convert the Soul Poison into pure energy for him to absorb.

Killing two birds with one stone.

"Ah?"

Wan Tianhao was greatly shocked upon hearing this: "Young Master Lu can cure my son's Soul Poison?"

"A famous teacher produces brilliant students; it was I who underestimated you, Young Master. I apologize."

His heart was incomparably shaken.

Soul Poison is one of the strange poisons; the two he had invited before could not cure it, and could not even tell what the problem was.

Only the Ancestor of the Heavenly Machine Sect, who is knowledgeable and experienced, pointed out that it was likely Soul Poison.

If Gui Sheng Xie Yi cannot cure it, my son will only be able to lie there for a lifetime, no different from a dead person.

He would never have imagined that Lu Tianyu could actually cure Soul Poison.

He did not doubt Lu Tianyu's words in the slightest; this person would absolutely not lie.

Soon, the four of them arrived at the Chengzhu Fu.

Lu Wenbin and Zhang Xiaocui still had matters to attend to and left directly by taking the Transmission Array, while Guo Zhuying was arranged to wait in a quiet room.

Lu Tianyu was led to a side courtyard of the Chengzhu Fu.

The City Lord Zhao Zhe was already waiting there; upon seeing Lu Tianyu, he bowed respectfully and led Lu Tianyu inside:

"I have long heard of Young Master Lu's great name; it is my honor to finally meet you!"

"Young Master Lu, my daughter went to that forbidden place together with the Elder's son. After returning, she also contracted a strange illness; her body is numb and she cannot move. I sought out experts to examine her, but they were all helpless."

"If it is convenient for you, please help take a look at her as well; I will absolutely provide you with a satisfactory reward!"

The Ancestor of the Heavenly Machine Sect had already given the word: if one encounters Lu Tianyu, one must treat him well, or at the very least, not offend him.

Zhao Zhe knew the Ancestor's ability to predict and calculate; he must have calculated that Lu Tianyu's destiny was extraordinary before giving the order.

Lu Tianyu frowned slightly: "Is your daughter also unconscious?"

Zhao Zhe shook his head slightly: "No, my daughter is not unconscious, but her body is numb and she cannot move. She can speak, but she is very weak."

While speaking, Wan Tianhao led Lu Tianyu into a bright room.

The windows of the room were sealed, so even though it was daytime, the light here was still very dim.

Lu Tianyu twitched his nose slightly; he smelled a heavy medicinal odor, with a faint, fresh fragrance mixed in.

There was a shrine on the wall with a few sticks of incense burning inside.

"This is my son; I ask Young Master Lu to please help take a look."

Wan Tianhao leaned against the wall and pointed to the person lying on the bed.

Lu Tianyu was not in a hurry to walk over; he looked at the surrounding environment for a moment before walking to the bedside to examine him.

The unconscious person had his eyes tightly shut and his face was deathly pale.

Lu Tianyu checked his breath and lifted his eyelids to look, but could not discern anything.

Then, he placed his hand on Wan Tianhao's son's pulse; the pulse was beating normally.

However, Lu Tianyu used his hand to slowly probe downward along the patient's forehead.

He stopped when he reached the nose, chin, neck, and chest.

He actually felt that the sensation on his hand was slightly cool, and the sensation toward the right was ice-cold.

Moving further to the sides, the ribs were also cold.

Lu Tianyu's hand moved from the chest downward; the stomach area was normal.

Afterward, he checked other parts and then looked at Wan Tianhao: "What kind of people have you invited to treat him? What methods have been used?"

Wan Tianhao was slightly stunned before saying: "I invited Master Long from the Changheng Star Domain to look at him, and I also invited Liu Dashi from the Guangmu Xingyu to look at him."

"Master Long said he could not tell what it was and did not dare to use medicine. After Liu Dashi looked at him, he used some medicine, but it had no effect, so we stopped using it later."

Lu Tianyu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Then the medicinal odor in this room is so strong because the previous Liu Dashi boiled medicine here, right?"

"And then forced it down your son's throat, right?"

Wan Tianhao nodded: "That's right!"

"We felt the medicinal odor here was too heavy, so we lit this fresh incense, fearing that it would not be good if it continued for a long time."

He did not know the meaning behind Lu Tianyu's questioning; he just answered directly.

Lu Tianyu smiled slightly: "You lit this fresh incense? Why do I feel like someone suggested you light it?"

"And, this incense was given to you by Master Long or Liu Dashi, right?"

Wan Tianhao was greatly shocked upon hearing this: "Lu, Young Master Lu, how did you know?"

"Could it be..."

He suddenly thought of something, but his brows furrowed tightly, and he felt it was impossible.

Lu Tianyu waved his hand: "It cannot be said; I must ask the two seniors to set up a barrier."

How could Wan Tianhao not understand? He waved his hand to set up a barrier: "Burning the incense was suggested by Master Long, who said the air inside the room was too foul and unfavorable for the patient. Could it be that Master Long used some trickery with it?"

"He gave me a pack of incense and told me to keep it burning at all times."

Zhao Zhe was also curious: "Young Master Lu, have you already discovered something?"

Lu Tianyu was noncommittal: "Your son's current state is heading in the direction of a corpse, and in the future, he will become someone else's tool."

"If there are no accidents, he will wake up tomorrow, everything will be as usual, and you will all act as if nothing ever happened."

He looked at the burning incense on the wall: "This incense looks no different from ordinary incense, but in reality, it is vastly different."

"This incense is called Corpse Incense, also known as Mantuluo Xiang; once lit, it can make ordinary people fall into a coma, though they will wake up before too long."

The corners of Lu Tianyu's mouth curled up slightly: "If my expectations are correct, it must have been Liu Dashi who came first and fed your son Corpse Poison powder."

"Then Master Long came later and suggested you use his Corpse Incense; although your son will wake up tomorrow, he will actually no longer be your son—he will have been controlled by others."

"Also, Liu Dashi or Master Long must have taken a blood sample from your son, right?"

"Ah?" Wan Tianhao was greatly shocked upon hearing this: "That's right, that's right, that is exactly how it happened. Young Master Lu is truly a divine doctor!"

Afterward, his expression became ugly to the extreme: "So you mean these two were singing in harmony to refine my son into a puppet they could control remotely?"

"Those two bastards, why would they do this? Are they not afraid of ruining their own reputations?"
