Chapter 1018: Now, It’s Your Turn To Apologize!

Translator: Lordbluefire

“Huh?”

Divine Doctor Feng thought he had heard wrongly.

He asked this question purely due to his professional habits, just like when two doctors diagnosed patients and met to discuss the patient’s condition. He basically didn’t expect Sun Mo to give an answer.

After all, Sun Mo hadn’t personally inspected Zhou Wenbin. But who knew that this little fellow actually said it was curable...

(It’s curable? Are you not afraid of failure by speaking so confidently?)

Feng Kang could be called a Divine Doctor because of his solid foundation in the medical arts. He personally felt that in the entire Nine Provinces, the number of doctors better than him was maybe only thirty.

But Sun Mo was absolutely not among these people.

(I researched for half a day and am still clueless, but you immediately know what’s the problem just by taking a glance? Your action is an insult to my hundred-year of bitter effort in studying the medical arts!)

After that, Divine Doctor Feng no longer wanted to talk to Sun Mo. He even wanted to toss a spittoon filled with feces at Sun Mo.

The other great teachers at the side also had an expression like they just saw a ghost.

(You entered the room for less than three minutes and asked a single question. After hearing Feng Kang sharing the information about Zhou Wenbin’s condition, you immediately said it is curable?)

(Even if the god of doctors came to this world, it wouldn’t be like that, right?)

(We know you have God Hands, but you haven’t touched Young Master Zhou yet, correct?)

“Teacher Sun, this involves a life. Please do not make a joke.”

Liu Xu was unhappy. He had never been fond of people with frivolous characters.

“Why don’t you take over the treatment then?”

Sun Mo turned his head and made an inviting gesture.

“You…”

Liu Xu was depressed. This Sun Mo was clearly making fun of him. (If I could cure Zhou Wenbin, why would they still need to invite you?)

“If you can’t do so, stand at the side and watch quietly!”

Sun Mo always felt the most vexed about this type of fellows who loved to rely on their seniority.

(You also know this involves a life? Then why are you interrupting and disrupting the thoughts of good doctors then?)

Bluntly speaking, Liu Xu was too used to being a major character and reprimanding others. When he saw others acting in a way that displeased him, he would immediately start to berate that person.

If Sun Mo’s words were spoken by a divine doctor, Liu Xu definitely wouldn’t have dared to interrupt.

Si~

After hearing Sun Mo’s scolding, everyone inhaled a breathful of cold air.

(Do you have to be so brazen?)

But because of Sun Mo’s tough and unyielding attitude, everyone retracted their original thoughts of wanting to get into conversation with him.

Hehe!

Liang Hongda was secretly laughing in his heart. He didn’t know why, but he felt very comfortable.

(So, it wasn’t that Sun Mo was refusing to give me face back then. He simply doesn’t like giving face to anyone. I’m balanced psychologically then.)

Liu Xu’s countenance instantly flushed red before turning ashen. His fists were tightly clenched, but after he glanced at the extremely anxious Zhou Xingtong, he didn’t dare to make any more noise.

“Go and prepare some basins of charcoal and bring it into the room. The more the better.” Sun Mo instructed. “Burn them and turn the heat up as much as you can.”

“Go quickly!” Zhou Xingtong urged the servants, “Do it with haste!”

Everyone looked at Sun Mo and waited for him to continue. However, Sun Mo left the bedside and sat on a chair not far away. “Teacher Zhou, I’m tired from rushing all the way here. Is there tea?”

Today in the Swallow Phoenix Inn, Sun Mo had said many things to Tong Xugao. Hence, his throat was already parched.

“Bring tea!”

Zhou Xingtong shouted loudly.

A young and beautiful maid immediately brought tea over. The fragrance of the tea permeated the room.

“Thanks!”

Sun Mo received the tea and gave another instruction. “Also bring some incense in here.”

“Yes, Mister!”

The maid bowed, she snuck another glance at Sun Mo before she left.

(Wow! This young man is so handsome. Also from his clothing, he’s actually a great teacher? There are also 3 stars before his chest. So impressive! This is a man I’m destined to never be able to obtain.)

All the great teachers stared at Sun Mo with dumbfounded looks.

“Do you guys want some tea too? Come over then!”

Sun Mo drank his tea and pursed his lips, tasting the tea fragrance with great detail. “This tea isn’t bad, where can it be bought from?”

“Teacher Sun, if you want the tea, I can even head to the Yellow Mountain and chop off the tea tree for you. But can you first help to cure my grandson’s sickness?”

Zhou Xingtong endured his anger and clasped his hands.

“The treatment has already begun!”

Sun Mo poured tea for himself and slowly drank it to taste it properly.

“Huh? The treatment has begun?”

Liu Xu frowned, he then spoke in a mocking tone, “How? Don’t tell me you are referring to the charcoal basins?”

He was still unhappy about earlier when Sun Mo scolded him.

“Yup!” Sun Mo laughed, “Even you have learned how to compete to be the first to answer a question?”

“What about using the incense earlier? Is that also part of the treatment?”

Liu Xu coldly smiled. He was already sure that Sun Mo was pranking all of them.

“Oh, that’s not. I think I will become very smelly from staying in this room for a while. Hence, I prepared that in advance!”

Sun Mo explained.

“...”

Everyone fell silent. They suddenly felt like their intelligence was insufficient. (I can understand all of Sun Mo’s words individually, but when his words join together, what does he mean exactly?)

The one who was the most psychologically impacted was Divine Doctor Feng.

He completely couldn’t understand the logic of doing so, but he also felt embarrassed to ask!

(Let’s just wait!)

For charcoal basins, it simply meant a basin with a few pieces of charcoal in it. Ordinary people would use this tool during winter to get warmth.

The Zhou Clan was naturally very wealthy and the charcoal they used was silver-hair charcoal.

This was a type of very high-quality charcoal. When it was burned, no smell of smoke would be present.

When over 20 charcoal basins were delivered into the room, the temperature immediately started surging.

Although the great teachers were cultivators and had powerful physiques, they all felt very hot at this moment and wanted nothing more than to be bare-bodied and take a cooling shower.

Zhou Xingtong didn’t have such thoughts. The sweat on his forehead kept dripping down. It was unknown if they were from him being hot or his anxiousness.

He kept staying at the side of the bed, looking at Zhou Wenbin.

There was no reaction despite waiting for an entire five minutes.

Zhou Xingtong’s patience vanished. He turned his head to look at Sun Mo.

“Teacher Sun, are you playing a prank on me?”

He suddenly thought of a possibility. Could it be that Sun Mo had guessed his overt plot so Sun Mo went ahead with it and decided to prank everyone?

Maybe, Sun Mo had never even planned to treat Wenbin?

The more Zhou Xingtong thought about this, the more he felt this was possible.

“Would I use such shameless methods if I want to play a prank on you?”

Sun Mo’s lips curled.

(This daddy is a grandmaster-level poison master. Do you believe that I can simply pull some tricks and make you have diarrhea until your legs go soft?)

“In that case, why don’t we see any effects?”

Zhou Xingtong felt doubtful.

“After getting the flu, you would have to rest for a few days before you recover, let alone your grandson’s sickness!”

Sun Mo placed his teacup down. “Get someone to bring more basins of charcoal.”

“Again?”

Everyone silently mused that even if Zhou Wenbin didn’t die from his condition, he would die from the heat.

“Quickly do it,” Sun Mo urged.

“Teacher Sun, why do you think Wenbin remains unconscious?” Feng Kang asked.

If Sun Mo couldn’t answer, he was prepared to intervene and stop Sun Mo from acting nonsensically.

“A type of parasitic fungi has infected him.” Sun Mo smiled confidently.

“Fungi?”

Everyone exchanged glances.

Actually this reason was passable.

“Teacher Sun, could you explain?”

Feng Kang clasped his hands.

“The fourth layer of the Darkness Continent has a creature named the rock turtle. They don’t live in the sea but dwell within the rock layer of mountains. In order not to be hunted, they will take the initiative to roll around some fungi and let their spores stick to their bodies.

“The bodies of rock turtles will secrete sweat and after this liquid has dried, a type of crystals will be formed. These crystals will catalyze the spores, causing them to undergo a mutation.

“This type of mutated fungi will grow and cover the turtle shell. The turtle will be fine, but if other ferocious beasts come in contact with it, it will be fatal for them.

“At the start, the flow of their qi and blood wouldn’t be smooth. During the mid-phase, their breathing would be obstructed and they would start sweating a lot more, losing a large amount of moisture. And during the final phase, their breathing would weaken.”

Sun Mo explained.

“What is this type of fungi called?”

Feng Kang asked.

“I don’t know!”

Sun Mo shrugged.

He read this knowledge from the Darkness Continent Encyclopedias he had obtained before.

Speaking of which, where did the system obtain these books from?

Could they have been collected by previous hosts?

Sun Mo had investigated before. Some knowledge that was given to him as rewards by the system hadn’t been discovered in the Nine Provinces yet. Either that or the number of people who knew it was extremely few.

It seemed like there was a shockingly huge secret hidden within.

“How should we treat this?”

Hope ignited in Zhou Xingtong’s heart.

“There are two solutions. Because the reason for the sickness is because of those fungi, we can strip away the infected skin.”

After Sun Mo said this, everyone felt their blood turning cold.

Because there were purple streaks all over Zhou Wenbin’s body, if they used Sun Mo’s method, didn’t it mean they had to skin Zhou Wenbin completely?

“What’s the second method?”

A short-haired great teacher clasped his hands. “Teacher Sun, please don’t tease us anymore and reveal the answer.”

“The second way is to kill it. The reason why Zhou Wenbin is in this state is because the fungi have attached themselves to him. Their secretions are considered poison to living creatures.”

Sun Mo smiled and no longer spoke.

However, everyone understood that by burning charcoal, the temperature in the room would rise and this was the method to kill the fungi.

The theory was very simple, but the vast majority of people would be stumped by the difficulty of doing so.

Because this was extremely rare knowledge.

There was no place for them to learn it!

“As expected, it is some darkness species. This old man’s reasoning wasn’t wrong.”

Feng Kang stroked his beard and observed Zhou Wenbin again.

Now that almost ten minutes had passed, those fungi were roasted by high temperatures and gradually charred and died. Hence, their secretion had reduced and this caused Zhou Wenbin’s situation to become better.

“His breathing has stabilized!”

Feng Kang exclaimed in shock before he heaved a sigh of relief. After that, he mumbled in a low voice, “Old Zhou, as long as Wenbin doesn’t suddenly stop breathing and die from organ failure, even if Sun Mo’s diagnosis is correct, we will have time to do other arrangements.”

However, these words were merely to comfort his old friend. Feng Kang felt that there was an 80 to 90% chance that Sun Mo was correct.

This Sun Mo was really impressive!

Where did he learn this knowledge from?

Things like this were considered private and very valuable. Usually, people wouldn’t ask about it. However, there would always be some exceptions. An example was the short-haired great teacher who spoke earlier.

“Teacher Sun, how do you know about this?”

The short-haired great teacher was curious. “I have meticulously researched darkness species for 50 years, but I have not seen anyone contribute data about this type of fungi!”

“In the library of our old headmaster.” Sun Mo found an excuse. “There were notes that he wrote.”

“So this is the case!”

Everyone was enlightened. If this was from the old headmaster, there was surely no problem.

The old headmaster of the Central Province Academy was a secondary saint after all. When he was young, he also had gone to the Darkness Continent and even met a rock turtle before. This was very normal.

“This student has benefitted from your teaching!”

Feng Kang lowered his head and bowed.

When the other great teachers saw this, they also bowed. Even Liu Xu, who had been scolded by Sun Mo earlier, was no exception.

He could only bear with his sullenness and bow.

There was no solution to it.

Sun Mo was too generous.

Logically speaking, people would only care about treating the sickness and there was no need to say anything else. But Sun Mo revealed the theory and allowed everyone to learn something new. In the future, if they encountered similar things, they would have a method of treatment.

(He might be a little brazen, but his heart is truly kind. He is worthy of praise.)

Immediately, Sun Mo received over ten thousand favorable impression points from these high star-ranking major characters.

Sun Mo drank a mouthful of tea and looked at Zhou Xingtong.

(It is your turn to apologize now!)
