The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 908

The arrival of the best master healer in the country reignited Aiden's and everyone else's hope that they could survive this.

Due to the magnitude of the situation, Lemuel didn't reminisce about the past with the other healers present. He picked a random person and started taking his pulse. After one minute, he stood up.

"Can an antidote be made, Mr. Morris?" asked Hector, who felt a headache coming on. If this situation wasn't dealt with well, devastating consequences were sure to come.

If these people had really died, the headquarters would certainly be blamed, as they were the organizer of the Martial Arts Competition. Who would want to shoulder the blame when the time came?

"This is the Blightbane Poison. I read about it in a medical book once. It was concocted by a highly skilled practitioner of medicine from the last dynasty. According to the book, even the inventor himself has not formulated an antidote for it."

What? A poison from the previous dynasty?

"And this is why there is nothing I can do," continued Lemuel.

The yard was filled with a tense silence. Everyone's voices disappeared.

"How long do they have to live?"

Lemuel looked at Xena, then at Felix.

"Felix and I will take turns suppressing the poison. They have 24 hours at most."

The waiting staff present were all sobbing. Who would have thought going to work as usual would result in them losing their lives?

"Unfortunately, we cannot locate the Miracle Doctor. He might have a solution," Lemuel said.

Upon hearing that, Felix gritted his teeth and entered a room not far away. He had thought about that, but he knew for sure that Gerald was not currently in Yartford and thus could not come here on time.

However, now that he'd learned from Lemuel the name of this poison, he could ask Gerald about it.

Felix was overjoyed. "Tell me, Mr. Hoffman—more than 60 lives are at stake here."

"The first method is the Nine Points of Calamity Technique."

The Nine Points of Calamity Technique? Felix had some choice curse words in mind. This was a technique even harder than the Seven Points of Transcendence, and he didn't know how to do it yet. "Can you not give pointless suggestions, please?"

Gerald said exasperatedly, "I want you to learn from this lesson, or else you'd think too highly of your skill in medicine. It's now when you finally feel helpless, huh?"

Felix admitted readily to his blunders before flattering Gerald a bit more.

"Okay, okay. Didn't I give you a medical book? If you haven't slacked off, you should be able to cultivate the most rudimentary antidote pill in the book. That should deal with the Blightbane Poison nicely."

Gerald added, "Your current success rate isn't high enough for you to make more than 60 pills before the poison takes effect, so save as many people as you can and don't feel guilty about it, not when you're already doing your best."
