Soul Land: I Fabricated Future Videos

Chapter 132: Drink More Hot Water

Dugu Bo quickly found a reason for Sun Zhongjing's silence he had come at the wrong time. After all, what kind of person jumps over a doctor's wall in the middle of the night to request treatment?

Such disrespect who would respond to that?

In the past, Dugu Bo had always relied on his Title Douluo status to act without restraint. Any doctor he sought wouldn't dare complain; no matter how unreasonable his demands were, they had no choice but to endure it.

Refusing him? That was out of the question not only would they risk their own lives, but their entire families might be implicated as well.

So without realizing it, Dugu Bo had applied his past experiences to this situation. Only when he was left standing outside with no response did he finally realize

This doctor was not like any other.

This man wasn't afraid of a Title Douluo.

In fact, with a mere breath, he could probably wipe Dugu Bo off the face of the earth.

Showing up uninvited like this? It was a death wish. No wonder he was being ignored.

As for why Sun Zhongjing had treated him in the video's future scenario, Dugu Bo speculated perhaps his condition intrigued this great healer. Since the doctor wasn't asleep at the time, he might have been willing to help out of curiosity.

But tonight was different.

Sun Zhongjing was already resting.

Moreover, since his condition had already been revealed in the video, there was no mystery left to explore. With nothing new to interest the doctor, there was no reason for him to bother responding.

Dugu Bo wasn't sure if his speculation was correct, but he was certain of one thing

He had come at the wrong time.

When seeking treatment, at the very least, one must show proper respect.

What if Sun Zhongjing refused to help him at all?

So, after apologizing for his rudeness, Dugu Bo turned around and left, planning to return tomorrow morning as an ordinary patient.

Inside the room, Sun Zhongjing sensed his departure and was mildly surprised.

But he quickly lost interest.

Dugu Bo was bound to return this wasn't just about his own survival but his family's future as well.

Until he found a way to resolve the toxicity of his martial soul, there was no way he would give up so easily.

As for why Sun Zhongjing had ignored him tonight

It was intentional.

The easier something is to obtain, the less it is valued.

Originally, he had planned to leave Dugu Bo outside all night, forcing him to reflect on his attitude.

But for some unknown reason, the old poison master turned and left before that could happen.

Well, whatever.

In the end, it wouldn't change anything.

The Next Morning

The clinic was once again packed with people.

Not everyone who came was seriously ill most suffered from minor ailments like headaches or fevers, which didn't even require medicine.

For these patients with trivial conditions, Sun Zhongjing offered them a simple piece of golden advice:

"Drink more hot water and get some rest. Next patient!"

Soon, the next patient entered.

A man entirely clad in green

Green hair. Green eyebrows. Green eyes. Green fingernails.

He was only missing green teeth to complete the look.

"Greetings, Senior."

Upon entering, Dugu Bo immediately bowed deeply, displaying utmost respect.

Not only because Sun Zhongjing's strength vastly exceeded his own, but also because his entire family's fate rested in this man's hands.

Naturally, he had to display proper courtesy.

"Sit."

Sun Zhongjing sat at the consultation desk, motioning for Dugu Bo to approach.

Once Dugu Bo was seated, the doctor examined him briefly before casually picking up a brush, writing something down on the wooden desk.

Moments later, he handed Dugu Bo a prescription and said:

"Take these herbs. Three doses will dissolve the poison you've accumulated over the years. That's all. Next patient."

Dugu Bo sat frozen in place, staring at the prescription in a daze.

He felt like he was dreaming.

The ingredients listed were all common medicinal herbs.

Yet somehow, through a unique combination of precise dosages, this simple prescription was capable of curing the poison that had plagued him for decades!

How was this possible?!

Medicine was truly profound.

At this moment, Dugu Bo felt an overwhelming sense of admiration.

As someone proficient in poisons, he was well versed in medicinal properties.

If necessary, he could even act as a part time physician himself.

But compared to Sun Zhongjing

He was no different from an illiterate fool.

"…Why are you still sitting there?"

Sun Zhongjing raised an eyebrow.

"I already gave you the prescription. Why aren't you leaving?"

Then, as if realizing something, he added:

"Don't worry. This formula was tailored to your condition. Even if your poison were ten times stronger, it would still be neutralized. And no using your martial soul won't make you re poison yourself. This formula will last you a lifetime… unless your martial soul undergoes a major transformation or you reach Rank 96."

"That's… a relief."

Dugu Bo let out a sigh of relief.

But then

He suddenly remembered his true purpose.

So what if this prescription would work for him?

What about his granddaughter?

What about her future descendants?

Would they have to rely on this medicine for generations?

Even if they could return for new prescriptions, what would happen once Sun Zhongjing was gone?

What about the generations after that?

No. That wasn't a real solution.

Using medicine was merely a temporary fix.

Dugu Bo had come here for one thing

The legendary Poison Pill Technique revealed at the end of the future Q&A video.

As for the Plague God Physique…

That was out of the question.

It was far too extreme.

Dugu Bo had zero confidence in surviving the process.

He figured only Sun Zhongjing, as its creator, had a chance of succeeding.

Anyone else?

Yeah, good luck with that.

"…Senior."

Dugu Bo cautiously addressed the elder.

"I didn't come today just for treatment."

"I wish to learn the Poison Pill Technique. Please, grant me this knowledge!"

His voice was filled with urgency.

However, he was also deeply anxious.

This was not the same as requesting medical treatment.

There was no reason for Sun Zhongjing to share his secrets with someone who wasn't family.

Any clan or sect that possessed such a powerful technique would guard it fiercely never sharing it with outsiders.

Would Sun Zhongjing really be willing to teach him?

"…Poison Pill Technique, hmm?"

Sun Zhongjing stroked his long white beard, smiling but saying nothing.

Feeling the uncertainty, Dugu Bo gritted his teeth and made a desperate gamble:

"Senior, I know this request is presumptuous."

"But if you are willing to teach me…"

"Then from this day forward

I will pledge my absolute loyalty to you!

I will serve you without hesitation no second thoughts, no regrets!"
