Chapter 649: Chapter 521 Natural Disasters? + Chapter 522 A Mantis Trying to Stop a Chariot_2

He had already tried countless methods, Chinese medicine, Western medicine, various instruments and herbal remedies in rotation, all to no avail.

Not only him, even the senior physicians from several major hospitals who came along had not found any effective treatment plan.

At this moment, they were all frowning and feeling helpless.

Not only Sun Changzhi was under immense pressure, but Zhang Handong was feeling the same. He had dispatched people to find Zhou Ping’an, and after waiting for two days and nights, they still hadn’t received any definite news. He was so anxious that he almost ran out to look for him personally.

If they couldn’t find anyone else, he estimated that he could only announce that these people were beyond help.

The only silver lining was that these patients did not carry contagious genes; otherwise, the situation would have been countless times more difficult.

More than five hundred people were ill, but that was not all.

Inside the quarantine line near the city wall in the southern city, there were as many as three thousand people.

Just because they hadn’t shown symptoms yet didn’t mean they were safe; they might just be in the incubation period and could start showing symptoms one after another.

Everyone had some suspicions about what exactly had happened outside the city that had led to this situation.

But they couldn’t really name names, because the other side’s background was too big, and they were helpless against them.

"Brew two large pots of herbal tea."

Zhou Ping’an sensed the condition of the patients and, pretending to take the pulse of one patient, instructed.

"What kind of herbal tea? Are there any other specifics?"

Zhang Handong asked hastily.

"The key is to be quick, to clear the heat and detoxify, the key is not in the tea, but in the medicine."

Zhou Ping’an took out a Jade Vial about the size of a palm, filled with pink rose-scented sugar water, which tastes quite good. This was a drink brought by Lin Huaiyu, reportedly one of Little Jiu’er’s favorite beverages.

Once the little one found something tasty, he would think of saving some for Brother Ping’an. Although some things seemed to Zhou Ping’an just child’s console, he would not ridicule the little one’s kindness but instead cherished it greatly and stored it in inner space.

The patients in front of him were all harmed by the Yin Energy spreading from outside the city.

Yin Energy is formless yet substantive, and for ordinary people, it exists invisibly and unnoticed, even without them knowing when they fell prey to it.

The quarantine line drawn was also based on the experiences of Zhang Handong and others who observed the area of the affected people to determine, even though these physicians hadn’t really noticed anything unusual in that area.

Under these circumstances, how could Zhou Ping’an make them understand the root cause of these injuries?

On the surface, he could only give a random explanation.

"No need to ask for the specific reason, existing medical theories can’t explain it, Doctor Zhang, it’s not that I’m withholding information, it’s just that if I explain too clearly, it’s not only not very beneficial for modern medicine, but it could actually be harmful."

Seeing that Zhang Handong was still confused.

Zhou Ping’an helplessly said, "You can understand it as a type of freezing Yin Qi invading the human body, Qi like this can’t be seen or touched, existing between heaven and earth, it disrupts the human balance, so, without finding a way to counteract this freezing Yin Qi, there’s no way to treat it, medication is useless, unless..."

He didn’t continue his words.

Originally, consuming Precious Medicine with Yang Attributes could have been effective.

But when one thinks that in this world, not to mention ancient and long-existing medicinal materials, even common traditional herbs are scarce in the wild, that puts an end to that idea.

Environmental destruction has a huge impact on human ecology, and no less so on plants and animals.

All have mutated.

Some have mutated for the better, but most have taken a turn for the worse.

To recompile systematic data is a lengthy and massive project.

As of now, with the wilderness teeming with Ferocious Beasts, there’s currently no capability to catalog all details of species mutations.

Zhang Handong nodded repeatedly.

"I understand, it’s like the Qi attached to your needle, right? It’s unexplainable by science, but it exists. This freezing Yin Qi... adding the medicine in the vial, it should have a Yang Attribute, right? Can it drive away Yin Energy?"

Zhang Handong’s capacity to accept was unexpectedly strong.

He accepted Zhou Ping’an’s profoundly mystical explanation without any doubts.

Uncovering the vial cap, he smelled the water inside; though he only scented a hint of floral sweetness, he harbored no doubts.

"Of course."

Zhou Ping’an nodded.

Rose-scented sugar water is, of course, not just rose-scented sugar water.

Zhou Ping’an used this sugar water as a medium, condensed his own spiritual will, visualized the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, and integrated the will of the fire into the sugar water.

This kind of operation, if it were before his Martial Intent Reached Heaven when he lacked enough concentration, he wouldn’t have been able to do it, but now it’s effortless...

When these people’s illness flared up, their emotions were extremely aggressive and vicious, as if they were frenzied.

Of course, it was not just because of Yin Energy.

Just Yin Energy alone isn’t enough to cause a major disaster.

In this Yin Energy, Zhou Ping’an sensed that kind of resentful and ferocious spiritual energy.

It was precisely because of this energy that the Yin Energy could contaminate the populace, invading them completely from body to mind.

Single exposure to Yang energy is effective against Yin Energy, but it has little effect against spiritual energy.

But all things have something that curbs and promotes them.

The Red Lotus Karmic Fire that Zhou Ping’an visualized, now very strong, has a profound lethal power against negative spiritual energies.
