Chapter 582: Chapter 580 Why Is This Happening_1

So the simplest method is to have a poisoned individual take the medicine first, and then use the antibodies of the infected to produce Detoxification Needles, which can then be distributed to various rescue points and hospitals.

Such an operation is simple and quick, and also low-cost.

At the same time, this is also known as the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, taking the best of both to complement each other and achieve mutual success.

Ning Xiaoyou nodded, "No problem, I will administer the drug to the poisoned individual right away."

As she finished speaking and was about to enter the laboratory with the infected, Xia Ningxing spoke up to stop her.

"Wait another five minutes," she said.

Upon hearing this, Ning Xiaoyou immediately shot a glance at Xia Ningxing, who was studying the Medicinal Wood Flower under the microscope, and frowned, "What do you mean by that?"

"Yeah, what do you mean by that!?"

"Does she not know that with every second we delay, another infected person dies!"

"Exactly!"

The other experts couldn’t help but speak out as well.

With the medication already successful, so many lives were about to be saved—what else was there to wait for!

Was it because they feared there weren’t enough dead yet!

Xia Ningxing seemed not to hear the complaints of the crowd as she continued to study the Medicinal Wood Flower under the microscope, her tone calm yet unquestionable, "In five more minutes, your lab rat will die. Are you sure you want to feed this medicine to the infected?"

"Are you trying to commit murder? Huh?"

She raised her voice at the end, her tone thick with scorn.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Ning Xiaoyou instantly retorted with a face full of anger, "Are your eyes faulty? Can’t you see that the lab rat is hopping around alive? This proves that my lab experiment is successful!"

"Is that so? Successful?" Xia Ningxing stopped what she was doing, crossed her arms, and looked at her with a cold laugh, "There’s an ingredient in your medicine called Medicinal Wood Flower, right?"

"So what if there is!" Ning Xiaoyou couldn’t bother to pretend anymore, not at this late stage.

"Medicinal Wood Flower?" The veteran Chinese medicine practitioners were stunned upon hearing this.

"Are you talking about the flowers from the already extinct Medicinal Wood?"

They asked cautiously while swallowing hard.

"Yes, that’s it," Xia Ningxing nodded.

The old doctors almost fainted.

They had actually witnessed the legendary medicinal ingredient that was said to be extinct!

It was such a stroke of luck.

Xia Ningxing ignored the old Chinese doctors and instead fixed her gaze on Ning Xiaoyou, her tone accusatory, "Since you are using Medicinal Wood Flower, may I ask if you understand it? Do you know that it naturally carries a toxicity?"

"It, it’s poisonous?" Ning Xiaoyou froze, obviously not anticipating this development.

The other members of the Ning Family and the old Chinese doctors were all equally clueless.

Indeed, it wasn’t surprising that they were unaware. After all, Medicinal Wood was something that only existed in legends, with few annotations about it. Medical texts only mentioned that its flower could detoxify, while other information was entirely blank.

Being blank was one thing, since finding Medicinal Wood would allow them to conduct their own research, but unfortunately, Medicinal Wood had long been extinct.

Therefore, when they saw the Medicinal Wood, they subconsciously ignored everything else, thinking it was just like the medical texts described, possessing powerful anti-poison and detoxification effects.

But who would have thought that it itself was actually poisonous?

As soon as Xia Ningxing saw their reactions, she knew they indeed did not understand, and she couldn’t help but shake her head speechlessly.

To use medicinal materials in prescriptions without even clarifying their properties, that was truly audacious.

"You say it’s poisonous, then why don’t you tell us exactly what kind of poison it has?" Ning Xiaoyou still refused to give up, gritting her teeth and glaring at her with fierce almond eyes, absolutely not believing what she said.

Xia Ningxing answered slowly and methodically, "The poison of the Medicinal Wood is one that can paralyze the brain system, so this is why the little white mouse suddenly seemed to get better. In reality, it was not cured, but its brain system was paralyzed, showing a state that appeared like a flicker of vitality before death. If you don’t believe it, you can check to see if the little white mouse’s body has produced any antibodies."

Someone couldn’t help but step forward to check, and indeed, there were no antibodies.

This proved that everything Xia Ningxing said was right!

Otherwise, if the little white mouse had truly been cured by Ning Xiaoyou, it would have produced antibodies against the virus in its body.

"Moreover..." As she spoke, Xia Ningxing picked up the bowl of medicine she had been brewing and sniffed at the rim, "If I’m not mistaken, your mixture should contain Bitter Lotus, Five-flavor Grass, Fragrant Lemon... as well as Wood Ganoderma, right?"

Xia Ningxing listed several medicinal ingredients in one breath, then her gaze settled on Ning Xiaoyun.

Although Ning Xiaoyou did not understand why she suddenly changed the topic to this, she instinctively nodded her head: "Indeed, there are."

These herbs were all listed in the prescription records; therefore, Ning Xiaoyou wouldn’t deny them, as it was too easy to be debunked.

But she didn’t understand: "What do you mean by asking this?"

Moreover, she was just able to smell and accurately identify the ingredients in her medicine—that sense of smell was downright enviable.

Ning Xiaoyou’s gaze toward Xia Ningxing grew increasingly malicious.

Xia Ningxing, fearless, met her gaze, "These herbs and the Medicinal Wood Flower all produce more or less toxicity, which is, in common parlance, medicinal incompatibility!"

"What!?" Ning Xiaoyou’s face immediately became hot, as if she had been slapped, and she instinctively retorted loudly, "Don’t spout nonsense. Just because you say it’s incompatible doesn’t make it so."

A traditional Chinese medicine prescription having multiple ingredients that are incompatible was a direct challenge to the other party’s dignity.

"If you want to know whether or not they’re incompatible, it’s actually quite simple. Just wait until the little white mouse shows symptoms like developing spots, rapid breathing, a purple tail... vomiting blood foam. These are all consequences of medicinal properties being incompatible," Xia Ningxing said calmly.

As it happened, just as Xia Ningxing was speaking, the little white mouse indeed began to exhibit the same conditions she described.

Not one symptom more, not one symptom less!

"Hiss!"

The crowd gasped, and at this point, not a single person dared to question Xia Ningxing anymore.

In an instant, everyone looked at Ning Xiaoyou with speechless expressions. A single prescription producing so many incompatible herbs was indeed unprecedented.

The crowd’s stares felt like the sharpest knives in the world, making Ning Xiaoyou’s face turn visibly redder at a speed visible to the naked eye, so red it seemed almost bloody. She was both embarrassed and agitated, wishing she could find a crack in the floor to crawl into.

Why did it turn out like this!

Why didn’t the medical texts clearly record the properties of Medicinal Wood!

After reaching the peak of her anger, Ning Xiaoyou’s gaze towards Xia Ningxing was tinged with a crimson hatred.

If it wasn’t for her, how could she have been so embarrassed in public?

Couldn’t she have spoken to her in private when no one was around?
