Chapter 158: Detox Solution 2: Cucumber and Carrot Shreds Coleslaw!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Tianzheng questioned the meaning of his existence even as he stared at the three purple pills on his palm.

After a while, he looked up at Jiang He and showed him a pained smile. “You’re not joking, are you, Mister Jiang? The Bezoar Detox Pills are ordinary detox pills that could treat the flu. How horrific is the venom of the rank-nine Six-eyed Desert Spider in comparison? Even divine-tier champions were helpless…”

Still, Jiang He had expected this.

Unconcerned and unoffended, he smiled, “Are ordinary Bezoar Detox Pills and the Bezoar Detox Pills I developed the same? Don’t worry, Chief Lin. If the pills don’t work, I still have a second detox solution.”

“What are you doing spacing out for? Feed your father the pills now!”

“…”

Lin Tianzheng felt an urge to retort, and even suspected that Jiang He was out to mock him. In fact, he would have been throwing a fit if he had not heard of Jiang He’s past ‘accomplishments’.

“Whatever, things are dire enough that we should try anything. It’s just a Bezoar Detox Pill—there shouldn’t be any problem.”

Lin Tianzheng then asked for an attendant and told him, “Go, bring me some warm water.”

Within minutes, the attendant returned with what he asked.

Walking up to Elder Lin, Lin Tianzheng put the Bezoar Detox Pill in his mouth before spoon feeding him some warm water.

Having been unconscious in bed for almost three months, Elder Lin was kept alive thanks to a divine-tier elite’s single breath of Innate Qi that kept his blood pumping. He had been fed fluids and the occasional glucose drip—because how could he take pills?

Let alone Jiang He’s Bezoar Detox Pills that were the size of a finger joint!

However, after Lin Tianzheng fed Elder Lin the pill, the unconscious old man suddenly appeared to have difficulty breathing. His pitch-black face rapidly turned liver-red as his body quivered, and he kept making ‘guh, guh, guh’ noises.

Lin Tianzheng promptly reacted in delight, exclaiming, “The pill worked! The old man is reacting!”

“…”

Jiang He was shocked right then and there!

Was Lin Tianzheng even Elder Lin’s biological son? What was with the ‘pill working’? That’s the sound of the pill getting stuck on his throat!

“Quick, help Elder Lin sit up!”

Qin Fan cried, and promptly walked up to slapped Elder Lin’s back a few times.

Gak!

The pill that was stuck in the throat was finally swallowed, and Elder Lin returned to his peaceful unconscious state.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Jiang He said, “Alright, Chief Lin, let Elder Lin lie down now… By the way, keep an eye out when you’re feeding Elder Lin pills from now on. Since he’s unconscious, directing feeding the entire pill could easily get it stuck in his throat. The reason I asked you to get warm water is to let the pill dissolve in it before feeding Elder Lin.”

Lin Tianzheng appeared embarrassed.

And beside them, Qin Fan appeared weirded out.

Leaving aside’s Lin Tianzheng’s antics… would the Bezoar Detox Pill really work?

Having been involved in the medical field before his awakening, Qin Fan was only too familiar with the Bezoar Detox Pill.

A specially made Bezoar Detox Pill? Was that not just nonsense?

It looked no different in color and smell to a normal Bezoar Detox Pill, and was just a bit bigger.

Nonetheless, he did not say anything since he was an outsider.

Meanwhile, Jiang He had closed his first-aid kit and went to sit in the living room outside.

Lin Tianzheng was staying at a luxury suite, and aside from the living room tv and couch, there was also a separate washroom.

Later, both Qin Fan and Lin Tianzheng joined him.

Lin Tianzheng in particular appeared somber and something to say, and eventually could not stop himself, “Mister Jiang, can I just ask… what’s your second detox solution? The Bezoar Detox Pill didn’t seem to work.”

Jiang He smiled. “Patience, Chief Lin. Any medication needs time to work. How many minutes has it merely been? Let’s wait for a while before deciding on anything.”

To tell the truth, Jiang He was a little nervous too.

He could not help extending his spirit away from his body to subtly observe Elder Lin.

Still, Jiang He soon found the blackness on Elder Lin’s body slowly fading. The process started from the face, and soon all the blackness on his neck, chest, back, and arms disappeared too.

The pitch-blackness was actually caused by the venom of Six-eyed Desert Spider and coursed through the veins to spread all over one’s body. But right now, as the pitch-blackness from Elder Lin’s body faded, his vigor gradually strengthened.

“The pill worked!”

Jiang He was in joy even as he sat on the sofa. Likewise, Qin Fan and Lin Tianzheng also felt the strengthening vigor.

While it was much weaker than the average person and a far cry from a rank-nine martial artist’s vigor, it was still much stronger than the dwindling vigor Elder Lin had before.

Lin Tianzheng was the first one to rush into the bedroom.

Then, Jiang He turned towards the utterly confused Qin Fan and smiled. “Should we have a look, Chief Qin?”

“Sure, sure.”

Qin Fan repeated himself, and muddleheadedly followed Jiang He into Elder Lin’s room.

To be frank, he was blanking out.

A Bezoar Detox Pill, curing the rank-nine Six-eyed Desert Spider’s venom?

Wasn’t that just fantasy?

Be that as it may, Elder Lin’s complexion appeared much better even as he remained on the bed and yet to regain consciousness.

Even Lin Tianzheng treated Jiang He differently now.

“At this state, Elder Lin could wake up in twenty-four hours.”

Jiang He said then, “But that is too long. I shall commence the second detox solution and see if we could help your father wake up sooner.”

“Eh?”

Taken aback, Lin Tianzheng turned towards Jiang He and asked, “Mister Jiang, you don’t have to squander your other treasures since the pill worked, do you?”

As a matter fact, Lin Tianzheng wanted his father to wake up sooner too…

But even a donkey would know—was anything that could cure a rank-nine the rank-nine Six-eyed Desert Spider’s venom anything mundane?

While the Bezoar Detox Pill appeared plain and simple, Mister Jiang did mention that he had concocted it specially, and there were no telling how many heavenly valuables he had spent in the process.

Jiang He, however, laughed out loud. “I have heard of Old Lin’s feats, and using any treasure to help an old hero wake up sooner is no big deal… Moreover, this stuff isn’t that valuable.”

He then opened a lunchbox, and a sweet aroma instantly extended.

“Oh, wait. My mistake.”

This one was stir-fried eggplant over leopard python meat.

As such, he opened the second lunchbox, which contained the cucumber and shredded carrot coleslaw.

Handing it to Lin Tianzheng, Jiang He said, “My maid made this specially. The shreds are thin and easily to swallow, and there’s no pepper, and she even added some tofu skin for taste… now hurry up, and feed it to your father.”

Lin Tianzheng: “…”

And while he blanked out, Qin Fan, who stood beside Lin Fan was left staring with bulging eyes.

‘What the hell!

‘Has he gone mad?

‘Has the whole world gone mad???

‘Sure, I am now convinced that those Bezoar Detox Pills could cure the rank-nine Six-eyed Desert Spider’s venom, but what is with that coleslaw of cucumber and carrot shreds, with tofu skin added?

‘And it detoxes too?’

If the Bezoar Detox Pill was indeed specially improved by Jiang He, could the fragrant coleslaw be specially made too?

Meanwhile, with the Bezoar Detox Pill’s effect as precedent, Lin Tianzheng did not doubt Jiang He now at all. When he came to his senses, he quickly began to feed his old man.

The process was curiously smooth—the food did not get stuck in the old man’s throat, at least.

Clearly, the old man had already regained a certain extent of consciousness and knew that he was swallowing food. Therefore, just as the coleslaw was almost finished, Elder Lin’s eyelids twitched slightly, before he actually opened his eyes.

“Dad!”

“You’ve woken up?”

Lin Tianzheng’s hands shook, almost dropping the lunchbox he was holding on the floor.
