Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 372 - New Direction

Chapter 372: Chapter 372 New Direction

Worrying that Hei Lie or someone else might actually go and kill those patients, Qi Yue still took the time to explain carefully.

“From a medical research perspective, that’s not feasible because what we need is a specimen with a complete disease progression, not someone who died from some other accident.”

Seeing Hei Lie still looking confused, clearly not understanding.

Qi Yue pulled at the corner of her mouth and continued to explain.

“What I mean is, it has to be death caused by this disease that counts.”

“Oh.” Having finally understood, Hei Lie sheathed his knife.

Regaining his composure, Huang Zai’an also let out a sigh.

“Disciple, what’s your next plan?”

Qi Yue raised an eyebrow.

“What other plan could there be? I can only grope my way across the river, taking one step at a time… If only I had known, I wouldn’t have killed Qing Nanzun; I could have interrogated him…”

Suddenly, Huang Zai’an said in a ghostly tone, “My disciple, with your brains, you don’t need to make it so complicated. You have to believe in yourself, that you can find the antidote.”

It had been a long time since Qi Yue had heard anyone praise her intelligence, and she was a bit stunned.

“…Master, I seriously suspect you’re trying to trick me.”

“I’m your master, why would I trick you?” Huang Zai’an excitedly stood up from his chair and began pacing in circles on the floor.

“…Disciple, in your master’s opinion, you just haven’t opened up your mind… Not having dead people is a good thing! Think about it, do you really need to dissect those corpses? No, you don’t. You can completely rely on the existing research to find the antidote!”

Qi Yue stared with a speechless gaze.

“So, give me a direction, will you?!”

“Of course, as your master, I should give you direction, letting you see what’s meant by ‘old ginger is spicier.'”

Huang Zai’an grandly gestured as he began to share his ideas for the antidote.

The gist of it was that Qi Yue could entirely assume that the active nerves of the Immortal Bug were causing all these symptoms.

Regardless of how it spread, how it entered the human body, or how it made a person go through the process of growing lengthy blisters until their body stiffened, becoming rigid but not dead.

She should simply research a medicine that could kill the active nerves based on the existing resources and discoveries!

Once this medicine was developed, it could be tested on these people!

If it worked, that would mean the approach was correct!

“Disciple, what do you think of your master’s suggestion?” Huang Zai’an finished proudly and waited eagerly for Qi Yue’s approval.

Qi Yue narrowed her eyes and cursed herself countless times inwardly.

A Divine Doctor, a genius in modern medicine who had such advanced experimental equipment and instruments in her space and an omnipotent robot assistant, had she really not thought about such a simple and brute force approach?

No, she had!

She just didn’t want to delve into it!

It was truly like… a blind man accidentally killing his master with a punch.

No, it was the master landing a punch to kill the self-important disciple!

But these were only her thoughts, something she would never admit out loud.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

“I think, well, it’s worth a try. But have you thought about how much work that would be? Whether it could even be done is another issue, and besides, do you know how to inhibit these active nerves? Why don’t you do the research? Moreover, even if it’s the culprit of the body’s stiffening, how would you administer the medicine if you don’t know where in the body it is?”

A series of questions left Huang Zai’an utterly flabbergasted!

“Why do you, my disciple, have so many questions? How would your master know all this? Aren’t I just giving you an idea?”

Qi Yue curled her lips in satisfaction and continued to blather.

“Who doesn’t have this kind of idea? Do you think I, as your disciple, am someone who couldn’t come up with such a point? I just want to follow a sure path. Who knew that my own master would give his disciple such a tough challenge? To do it would be exhausting, and not to do it, the master would complain about his disobedient disciple, right?!”

After a litany of complaints, Huang Zai’an was thoroughly dizzied and hurriedly stepped forward to console.

“My disciple, of course, your master knows you have a method, but you can’t be so lazy,” he said. “No matter how tired you are, you must do it. Although the common people have wronged you this time, your master believes that one day, they will know you are the one who can truly save them… Remember when, my own family was tormented to death by that damn Emperor, you see, I still dearly love the people of Beiyuan….”

Seeing Huang Zai’an had completely entered self-indulgent mode and begun to recount his family’s tragic history, Qi Yue hurriedly stood up and ran off.

“Master, I understand, I’ll go back and research, find the antidote, that should be enough, right…”

But Huang Zai’an still chased after her, calling out, “I haven’t finished talking yet, what’s the rush… Listen to me, your water might be of great use… Did you hear me…”

Qi Yue quickly returned to her own courtyard and “bang” shut the door behind her.

The Spiritual Spring Water was naturally useful.

She, the people around her, including the entire Rishengchang, the medicine shop, the residence, the people in the manor, had all come in contact with those sick from the prolonged water exposure, yet over such a long period, not one had fallen ill.

It was the same during the time when Qing Nanzun poisoned them.

Except for the one who went home for a meal, not a single person became sick.

This was because she had added a large amount of Spiritual Spring Water to the wells in these places.

Though it differed from the Spiritual Spring Water she bottled immediately, it still had a very good effect!

Huang Zai’an’s line of thinking was correct.

Actually, her mind had previously toyed with a similar notion, but she had dismissed it.

All along, the research she had conducted and conclusions she had drawn were careless mistakes, supported by precise principles.

That’s why she disregarded such suddenly emerging wild ideas without a second thought.

But the current situation was ultimately different.

What she was facing was, from the start, something mysterious, so why follow the same old paths?

With that thought, Qi Yue’s brain was completely overturned.

The brain full of data research and gene animations rapidly shuffled and then reassembled a new train of thought.

If she didn’t consider the source of infection, the means of transmission, or the way it spreads, and only focused on how to suppress the active nerves of the Immortal Bug, she could come up with many methods.

Now she just needed to consider what kind of medication to use in the complicated environment of the human body, and in what way to make the medication effective!

Qi Yue immediately went to the laboratory, had her assistants bring up relevant data, and started the first round of experiments.

To be more precise, she took the latest Spiritual Spring Water and conducted an assay.

From the results, today’s Spiritual Spring Water seemed to have even more ability to repair and strengthen the body than before.

She knew clearly, this was because the three White Rhinos were swimming in the stream every day.

Qi Yue’s mind raced, why not use a bit of the White Rhino’s blood as well!

Since the active nerves of the Immortal Bug were so bizarre, she would use the miraculous Spiritual Spring Water and White Rhino’s blood to counter it!

Indeed, the first round of testing yielded certain effects.

This bolstered her confidence, and she immediately immersed herself in the research for the antidote, unable to extricate herself.

In the front hall, Zhao Xiyan was methodically instructing Hei Lie with a list of tasks.

“Spread the news and let everyone know Feng Liang is deceiving people.”

“Send someone to the Governor’s Office, just say I agree with Director Chu’s suggestion.”

“Have someone convey the true situation of Longnan County Government to the Capital City to see what moves our Prime Minister Lin is making.”

“…”

“Yes, Marquis, your subordinate will go now!”
