The Strongest Mad Son-in-law-Chapter 1492 - 1495: Who's Behind You?
Shu Yonglan said with a face full of shock, "Young Master Yu, what are you doing? You're testing the poison on yourself? That's too reckless! It's too dangerous!"
Xu Hao remained unmoved.
After a full three minutes, Xu Hao finally said, "I already know what these things are. This poison pill is indeed extraordinary. It must be an ancestral secret recipe from a major family; otherwise, it couldn't have such an effect."
Seeing that Xu Hao was completely fine, Shu Yonglan said in surprise, "You... you're unharmed?"
"Of course I'm fine. I said that this level of poison can't harm me."
Xu Hao frowned slightly and said, "But now you're poisoned. I need to help you detoxify it, which is a bit troublesome."
"You can help us detoxify?!"
Shu Yonglan exclaimed in surprise and then quickly realized, "That's right. Since you can taste the components of the poison, that means you understand medical skills and might really be able to help us detoxify. I've roughly estimated that for the toxins in my body to be naturally expelled, it might take three days."
Xu Hao nodded slightly and said, "That's true. However, if I use the Defying Heaven Nine Needles to detoxify you, you'll have to pay me. After all, using the Defying Heaven Nine Needles is quite exhausting."
"What did you say?! Defying Heaven Nine Needles? Are you joking with me? You claim you can use the Defying Heaven Nine Needles? Are you kidding?!" Shu Yonglan was instantly shocked, saying multiple questions in a row.
Xu Hao smiled slightly and said, "Why are you so reactive? Is there a problem if I can use the Defying Heaven Nine Needles?"
"Do you know what the Defying Heaven Nine Needles represent? Learning and mastering it is extremely difficult. Speaking such nonsense would get you investigated!" Shu Yonglan said with a serious face.
"What's all the fuss about? It's just the Defying Heaven Nine Needles." Xu Hao said lightly.
"The Defying Heaven Nine Needles represent the pinnacle of Huaya acupuncture skills! Moreover, no acupuncture technique has surpassed it to date! Its status in acupuncture is like Mount Everest in the world!
The legacy of the Defying Heaven Nine Needles is fragmented and held by a very few people. No one has obtained the complete acupuncture technique, and to this day, I've not seen anyone who has truly mastered the Defying Heaven Nine Needles," Shu Yonglan said with utmost seriousness.
She truly hadn't expected Xu Hao to mention such a powerful acupuncture technique like the Defying Heaven Nine Needles straight off the bat. Her first reaction was that Xu Hao was bragging.
However, Xu Hao laughed and said, "There are many things you've never seen. Must everything be known to you for them to exist? I'll ask you one question: will you let me detoxify you or not? If not, I'll leave immediately. If so, then you must pay me."
He and Shu Yonglan had never met, so he definitely wouldn't detoxify them for free.
Shu Yonglan immediately said, "Although I don't know if what you're saying is true or false, your constitution is certainly very special, and your medical skills must also be strong, so I'm willing to let you help. As for the payment, name your price."
Xu Hao nodded slightly and said, "I won't deliberately coerce people. How about this: I heard that your Cihang Jingzhai has a well with magical water that can gradually restore sight to the blind. Is this true?"
Hearing Xu Hao's words, Shu Yonglan was immediately surprised and said, "How do you know?! Mingmu Well hasn't been open for over a hundred years. Where did you hear about it? What force is backing you?"
Xu Hao laughed and said, "So it does exist. Don't ask where I found out. I'm just asking if you're willing to exchange a ton of Mingmu Well Water with me?"
"You're... you're being too demanding! It's not that Cihang Jingzhai hasn't wanted to share the well water over the years, but that there were problems with Mingmu Well, forcing us to seal it. We can't even draw water from it now, or the well might dry up," Shu Yonglan said in astonishment.
"You're both right and wrong. A long time ago, someone said the well must be sealed, or it would completely dry up. But I know there's another reason for sealing the well—one that perhaps even you don't know," Xu Hao said with a smile.
"What reason? Could there actually be something known to an outsider like you that I don't know?" Shu Yonglan immediately asked.
Xiao Ling then said, "Master, I think this big brother seems like a big bad guy. The words he speaks are meant to entice us into talking about our Cihang Jingzhai."
Xu Hao laughed at that moment and said, "You little girl sure let your imagination run wild. But why would I go out of my way to achieve that? Don't you find it contradictory?"
"Hmph! Whether it's contradictory, you know in your heart," Xiao Ling said with a pout, showing some mistrust towards Xu Hao.
