All eyes were on Mr. An, standing under the stage, as he beca the center of attention amid a bustling scene.
Mr. An was sweating profusely as he diagnosed a poisoned patient, only to realize that he was powerless to help with the detoxification; pressured by everyone’s expectations, he knew his reputation as a Divine Doctor would be shattered if he couldn’t save the person.
After examining nine individuals in one breath, Mr. An still hadn’t made a move to save anyone.
Seeing Mr. An hesitate, the audience grew increasingly anxious, but no one dared to interrupt him.
Mr. An felt so resentnt towards Yao buc and Yao Ming, blaming them for causing a commotion at his birthday celebration and engaging with Tang Ming, pushing him into the line of fire when things escalated—what had he done to deserve this?
"Tang Ming?"
Upon thinking of Tang Ming, Mr. An abruptly lifted his head to look at him; Tang Ming’s dical skills were far superior to his own, and if he couldn’t solve it, perhaps Tang Ming could, especially if the Poison Sect were involved, making Tang Ming even more likely to resolve the situation.
"Divine Doctor An, what are you doing? Can you treat these people or not?"
"Exactly, you’ve been watching without making a move; could it be that you can’t cure them?"
"The dicine Sect sells fake elixirs, and Mr. An is their disciple—don’t tell he’s all talk and no skill?"
As Mr. An remained inactive, the crowd beca restless, and a wave of skeptical voices rose.
At that mont, Tang Ming slowly stood up.
"What are you planning to do, Poison Master?" Xin Badao and Chu Batian looked at Tang Ming, puzzled.
"Dealing with the dicine Sect, I have no reservations, but I can’t let Mr. An be humiliated; he has shown us kindness," Tang Ming said, wiping his mouth and taking a bottle of mineral water as he strode towards the stage.
"Young Master Tang..."
Seeing Tang Ming volunteer to take the stage, tears of gratitude nearly welled up in Mr. An’s eyes; in such a situation, he couldn’t possibly ask for Tang Ming’s help, yet here Tang Ming was, offering assistance just when it was needed most.
"Ladies and gentlen, please hear out,"
Tang Ming gave Mr. An a signal with his eyes and spoke out loud, "The reason Divine Doctor An hasn’t acted is that this minor issue doesn’t warrant his concern."
"Who are you? My father is about to die from poisoning, and you dare call this a minor issue?" Liu Tianji glared at Tang Ming, furious.
"It’s truly a minor issue, rely a case of food poisoning."
Tang Ming shrugged his shoulders and spoke dispassionately, "I don’t know why the dicine Sect’s highly priced Detoxification Elixir can’t cure a simple case of food poisoning, but I have a way to restore these people’s health."
"That’s nonsense, it’s obviously severe poisoning; how could it be re food poisoning?"
Hearing this, Yao Ming barked back in irritation.
"Yao Ming, given that you’re a prized student of the dicine Sect, can’t you tell that if this were severe poisoning, they would have died a hundred tis over by now?"
Tang Ming gave Yao Ming a disdainful look and lifted the bottle of mineral water, introducing himself, "Allow to introduce myself. My na is Tang Ming, head of the Tangming Group from Songlan City."
"The Tang Ming who sells Tang Ming Oral Liquid?" Soone from the audience actually knew of the Tangming Group—in fact, most did, as Tang Ming Oral Liquid had beco a household na.
"That’s right, I’m Tang Ming."
Tang Ming nodded and indicated the bottle in his hand, saying, "What I’m holding here is Tang Ming Oral Liquid No. 2, a new product developed by our Tangming Group. It’s an upgraded version of Tang Ming Oral Liquid; aside from treating common minor ailnts, it also has a strong detoxifying effect, but it’s pricier."
"Tang Ming Oral Liquid No. 2? How much will it cost?"
Soone imdiately asked, curious. Everyone knew that Tang Ming Oral Liquid was sold for 99 per bottle, so they wondered how much more expensive this one would be.
"The selling price of Tang Ming Oral Liquid No. 2 will be 199, which is a hundred more,"
Tang Ming said with a smile.
Hearing this, the crowd was stunned; to think it all ca down to just 199. If it could really detoxify, that would be incredibly cheap.
"Of course, I wouldn’t sell it at such a low price on an occasion like today. I can save these poisoned people, but you’ll have to pay so compensation,"
Tang Ming said, smiling again.
"How much do you want? As long as you can restore my father’s health, I’ll pay whatever it costs,"
Liu Tianji shouted without hesitation, seeing nothing more valuable than his old man’s life.
"I won’t trouble you all too much, just the sa price you previously paid for the Detoxification Pills, fair and square, ten million per person,"
Tang Ming looked at Yao buc and Yao Ming, saying with a hint of mockery, "I’m not like so charlatans making wild claims, I stake my life on being able to save these people."
Upon hearing this, the crowd took a sharp intake of breath. It was clear he was taking advantage of the situation, demanding over ten million for sothing that cost a couple hundred. It was outright robbery.
"I’ll pay."
Liu Tianji, though feeling frustrated, instantly agreed and took out his checkbook to write a ten million check for Tang Ming.
The other poison victims maintained a wait-and-see attitude, mainly fearing being deceived again.
"Very well, I will now show everyone the effectiveness of Tang Ming Oral Liquid No. 2."
Tang Ming pocketed the check, smiled, turned, and walked towards Liu Tianji’s father, then turned back to announce, "Tang Ming Oral Liquid No. 2 is not as miraculous as the dicine Sect’s Detoxification Elixir that can cure all poisons; this dicine can at best counteract usual poisons. Please don’t get your hopes too high."
"Big brother, please detoxify my father quickly."
Liu Tianji urged, scratching his head in agitation.
Then Tang Ming held Liu Tianji’s father’s chin, poured mineral water into his mouth, secretly performing cultivation to extract the poison from his body.
In no ti at all, Liu Tianji’s father’s complexion improved and he slowly opened his eyes. A few minutes later, he stood up with Tang Ming’s support.
"Old dad, how do you feel?" Liu Tianji hurriedly ca forward and asked with concern.
"I’m fine, feeling much better! This Tang Ming Oral Liquid No. 2 is really miraculous!"
Liu’s father hopped off the stage, exclaiming in amazent.
"I am willing to pay ten million." Seeing that it really worked, the families of the other poison victims quickly pulled out their money.
In the blink of an eye, Tang Ming had collected ninety million.
Shortly after, the remaining eight people finished a bottle of mineral water each and then all jumped up and stood, sprightly and full of life.
"Miracle water!"
Witnessing this scene, soone cried out in amazent. Regardless of whether those people were really suffering from food poisoning, the fact was, after a few sips of the liquid from Tang Ming’s hand, they were cured – it was undeniably miraculous water.
"Miracle water might be an overstatent, but for dealing with minor poisons, it poses no problem,"
Tang Ming said with a smile, proudly adding, "Of course, our Tang Ming Oral Liquid No. 2 naturally can’t compare with the dicine Sect’s Detoxification Elixir, after all, that one is a sky-high priced Elixir!"
