Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1535 - 684: The Gap

Actually, Nanyuan En could still accept the reaction of the people at the beginning; not only had the Nanyuan Family just developed this antidote, but having no effect or a poor effect was normal.

However, the last person drank the potion and died directly; this truly caught him off guard.

Returning to his senses, he immediately glanced sharply at several doctors who came along with the group.

"Mr. En, currently the antidote is intended for patients with mild symptoms, those who are nearly poisoned to death... to be honest, we never thought we could save them with this potion on hand at the start."

Food is eaten one bite at a time.

The road is walked one step at a time.

First save those with mild symptoms, secure these people first, and then slowly delve deeper.

Those severely ill, those who cannot wait, if they die, they die, it’s all fate.

They developed antidotes supposedly to save Da Liang City, but the core purpose was actually for the Nanyuan Family, to win people’s hearts.

The hearts of the dead hold no value, but the hearts of the living do.

So to save, naturally, it’s to first save those who can be saved immediately, who can continually bring a good reputation to the Nanyuan Family.

Nanyuan En naturally quickly understood all the connections.

Or rather, only being in his current position could he so quickly comprehend the family’s arrangements.

Immediately, he coldly swept his eyes toward the doctors beside him, scolded them in a low voice.

"Then why didn’t you tell me about this matter earlier?"

"Well... we also didn’t know what effect this potion would have on severely ill patients, so we also wanted to see the results... and based on our judgment, although this potion might not be effective for severe patients, it wouldn’t exacerbate the condition. So either the patient naturally succumbed to the illness, or the severe patient’s body’s condition differs from the mild patients, causing this potion to have negative results..."

The doctor’s words somewhat sounded like shirking responsibility.

Nanyuan En’s expression darkened on the spot.

Glared angrily at the doctors, who immediately lowered their heads, not daring to speak more.

"Useless waste!"

Nanyuan En scolded in a low, cold voice.

The surge of anger was inevitable.

But to resolve the issue, anger alone was insufficient.

With the accident occurring, all he could do was try to salvage the situation.

Fortunately, he was no longer the naive Wu Xia A Meng and immediately began remedial measures.

He gave a doctor a glance, who immediately understood, went up to take the pulse of the deceased elder, then came back to feign a low-voiced report to Nanyuan En.

Afterward, Nanyuan En began to address the public with a face full of sorrow.

"A step too late; it was our potion that was a step too late. Before the potion’s effects could start, the old gentleman had already..."

How many people believed those words was actually not important; what was important was that the Nanyuan Family had already expressed their stance, offering a passable reason.

Anyone who continued to cause trouble over this matter would be going against the Nanyuan Family.

Besides the simple humanitarian concern, financial compensation was naturally also indispensable.

However, such routine procedures were clearly insufficient to calm the agitated hearts of the crowd below.

Although no one further criticized this matter, thoughts on whether to have patients drink the Nanyuan Family’s potion or be sent to the Foolish Underworld to be treated by the Divine Doctor had already become clear.

The murmurs about the Foolish Underworld naturally had also inevitably reached Nanyuan En’s ears.

He was somewhat baffled.

He had just left the Foolish Underworld not long ago; when did a Divine Doctor emerge from there?

Moreover, after leaving the Foolish Underworld, he went directly home, leading the family’s newly developed antidote straight here to bolster the family’s reputation.

This journey was too hurried, so he was completely unaware of the news now widely discussed among the people.

"Divine Doctor of the Foolish Underworld... Divine Doctor Ding..."

Nanyuan En recalled; it seemed there was no Divine Doctor surnamed Ding in the Foolish Underworld.

Wait a minute! Could it be the Divine Doctor from that external team?!

Nanyuan En immediately thought of something, his expression becoming peculiar.

He had been too focused on conversing with the leader of that team, neglecting to notice that there was an impressive Divine Doctor hidden within their ranks.

Moreover, now the existence of this Divine Doctor had already threatened the layout of the Nanyuan Family...

Nanyuan En sighed.

Under these circumstances, without employing other means on his side, he could only compete in speed against that Divine Doctor Ding.

Whoever develops the detoxification potion first will win the hearts of the people of Da Liang City!

Wait a minute! This isn’t right!

Why should I... compete in techniques with that Divine Doctor?

That Divine Doctor is, after all, just an outsider; there’s no reason why I can’t collaborate with the Nanyuan Family for a win-win situation.

Upon realizing this point, Nanyuan En couldn’t stay idle anymore.

Their debut had already been half a failure.

If there was no one besides them in Da Liang City with the ability to develop a detoxification potion, even if a severely ill person was poisoned to death, it would just be a minor matter, merely a small obstacle and trouble on the path of pursuing an antidote.

But that’s not the current situation.

That foreign Divine Doctor had already achieved the level where even severely ill patients could be miraculously cured with a masterful touch, in understanding of this poison and in detoxification progress, far leaving the Nanyuan Family behind.

In Nanyuan En’s view, such a thing was almost impossible.

But from the heard news, it didn’t seem to be false.

Nanyuan En felt conflicted; if the other side had truly achieved this level, then all of the Nanyuan Family’s antidote research could cease now.

Because there is no point, they simply can’t keep up with the other side’s detoxification progress anymore.
