Chapter 121: Treating The Symptoms and The Root Cause
🕑 Added 2025-03-13 10:10:02 +0000 UTCIn the video.
After Dugu Bo admitted defeat, the competition ended.
Sun Zhongjing pulled the bow again and played a piece of music. Through the unique sound wave frequency, he eliminated the “poison” in his body and restored his ability to move.
Seeing this, some people may think that Ye Cheng is making up stories. The sonic poison skill is totally inconsistent with scientific logic. How can sound waves poison people? And how is this thing related to poison?
But in fact, this thing is not so mysterious. The so-called “poison” is just to make it easier for Dugu Bo to understand. In essence, the principle of sonic poison skill is not that there are really toxins in the sound waves, but that the sound waves are used to interfere with the operation of the circulation system of various aspects of the human body, such as qi and blood energy, and even drive the symbiotic bacteria that already exist in the human body, thereby causing various discomforts to the human body. It makes people look as if they have been poisoned for no reason.
But it is very difficult to do this. You need to have an incredible understanding of the human body, and you can also see through the laws of energy and blood circulation in the human body, and even the distribution of various symbiotic bacteria in the microscopic world, and the strength and weakness of each other, to be able to achieve this.
This kind of micro-operation is not something that ordinary people can learn.
At the beginning, in the initial stage of the sonic poison skill, the sound waves can only be transmitted into the human body through the ear nerves, and then spread to the whole body, in order to cause various effects. Therefore, as long as the ear nerves can be prevented from being disturbed by the sound waves, they will not be affected.
In the later advanced stage, shock wave needles are formed, which can directly inject sound waves into the human body from any part, thereby affecting the human body!
So if you insist on talking about science, the sonic poison skill is quite scientific. It is not the kind of idealistic ability that is completely illogical.
The two returned to the clinic.
But this time, Dugu Bo’s attitude towards Sun Zhongjing became very respectful. Although he was arrogant, his attitude would naturally not remain the same when facing someone who was truly capable. Especially when this person could cure his illness, which patient would have a bad attitude towards a doctor? Would he want to die?
After sitting down in the hall, Sun Zhongjing looked at Dugu Bo opposite him and said, “Regarding the poison in your body, I have two methods: treating the symptoms and treating the root cause. Which one do you choose?”
“Two methods?!”
Dugu Bo was extremely surprised when he heard this. He originally thought that it would be difficult to get rid of the poison in his body, but he didn’t expect the other party to offer two methods right away.
In reality, Dugu Bo couldn’t help but clench his fists when he saw this scene. The video shows the future “before the question-and-answer session began”, and the future has definitely changed because of the question-and-answer session. It’s like he had nine spirit rings in the video, but now he only has eight because of the punishment for answering the wrong question.
But it doesn’t matter. As long as the man in the video can cure the poison in his body, then even if the future changes, it will not change too much. After all, if he can cure his own disease in the video, then he can probably cure it in reality. I just don’t know if the King of Medicine Sun Zhongjing has opened a clinic in Tiandou City now? If he hasn’t opened one yet, when will he open a clinic in Tiandou City?
This is what Dugu Bo wants to know the most. Of course, it would be even better if he could find him directly and ask him to help him cure his illness.
In the video.
Dugu Bo hesitated for a moment before asking, “Excuse me, Senior, what are the differences between treating the symptoms and treating the root cause?”
He now addressed Sun Zhongjing as “senior” and regarded himself as a junior. After all, whether in age or other aspects, the man in front of him was an old senior that he could not match. It was not humiliating to call him “senior”.
“It’s called treating the symptoms…”
Sun Zhongjing stroked his long beard and said, “The simplest way is that I can prepare a special antidote for you. After taking it, the poison will be eliminated immediately. Or I can directly extract the poison from your body, making your body transparent and free of poison. But these two methods can only solve the urgent problem temporarily.”
“Extract the poison directly? Is this really possible?” Dugu Bo couldn’t help but ask, with some disbelief in his heart.
Sun Zhongjing didn’t say anything, he just waved at him. In an instant, Dugu Bo felt the soul power in his body begin to fluctuate inexplicably, and then saw a green mist pouring out from his chest, quickly gathering on the other party’s hand, condensing into a green mist ball.
“These…are all the poison in my body?!”
Dugu Bo felt the condition of his body and found that the unbearable feeling he had before was now much relieved. It was obvious that some of the toxins in his body had been extracted by the other party.
But what shocked him the most was that the other party just raised his hand and used some means to extract some of the poison in his body.
How did he do this?
“The toxins in your body come from your martial soul. Every time you use your martial soul to possess your body, the poison attached to your martial soul will merge with your body. Therefore, even if I can directly extract all the toxins from your body, unless you don’t use your martial soul, a large amount of toxins will accumulate in your body again in a few days. There is no way to completely cure this problem.” Sun Zhongjing said, holding the emerald green poison mist ball in his hand.
Hearing that he would not be poisoned if he did not use his martial soul, Dugu Bo could not help but smile bitterly. In this world of soul masters where the strong prey on the weak, not using martial souls? How is that possible? Those enemies would make him die faster!
Moreover, possessing great power but not being able to use it is more painful than killing him.
“Excuse me, sir, is there any solution to this problem?” Dugu Bo bowed.
“If you have a weapon martial soul, you only need to condense the toxins in your body on your own martial soul, and all problems will be solved. But what you are using now is a beast martial soul, so the toxins will merge with itself, so that the poison in your body will not hurt you. The easiest way is to find a host body to store toxins. For example, soul bones.” Sun Zhongjing said.
When Dugu Bo heard the solution, he suddenly looked enlightened and said, “So… why didn’t I think of this! It’s so easy to solve the problem that has troubled me for years?”
In reality.
Dugu Bo was also very surprised when he saw the solution proposed by Sun Zhongjing. He originally thought that if he wanted to solve the problem of poison in his body, he would have to find this miracle doctor. But now the video actually told him the solution directly. How could he not be surprised?
As for the soul bone? He already has it in his body!
But at this time, Sun Zhongjing in the video spoke again.
“However, this method is still only a temporary solution. It is not a permanent solution.”
After hearing what he said, Dugu Bo, who was originally full of surprise, slowly stopped smiling and asked in confusion, “What do you mean, senior? I think this method is enough to free me from the suffering of the poison. Is It because soul bones are hard to find? To be honest, it is not difficult for a junior to get them.”
“Not at all.”
Sun Zhongjing shook his head and said, “Injecting toxins into the soul bones can certainly solve the problem of toxins invading the body, but in this way, every time the martial spirit possesses the body, it will take a lot of time to force the toxins in the body into the soul bones. You must know that time is life, and wasting time is tantamount to chronic suicide. Therefore, this method is not the best solution.”
