Zhu Yanyi smiled gently and handed the floor to Qu Zhong. "Second Senior Brother, please explain it for us."
Qu Zhong chuckled softly and nodded. "Toxic Medicine is actually about using poison to counter poison. It treats illness with toxins. When people get sick, it’s often because viruses or bacteria grow inside the body. Even a mild cold is caused by them. So, we use the right amount of good poison to kill those germs, helping the body recover. That is using poison to fight poison. Of course, this method needs great experience. If you lack experience, bad things happen. If the poison is too weak, the germs aren’t killed and may bounce back, causing the patient great pain. If you use too much poison, it stays in the body and destroys health. That is not worth it."
"Toxic Medicine sounds terrifying," Kaul sighed.
Qu Zhong smiled. "It’s not that scary. Actually, some Western medicines contain toxic ingredients too, like snake venom."
"You are right. As long as it is used properly, Toxic Medicine is just like normal medicine," Maximus said. "Don’t you agree, everyone?"
"Yes," the representatives from various countries agreed with smiles.
Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. "Traditional Chinese Medicine includes these four types. However, considering how people accept them, we call all healing methods Traditional Chinese Medicine. Flower Medicine and Herb Medicine are fine, but Witch Medicine and Toxic Medicine might make people feel suspicious or afraid of being harmed."
"Since that is the case, why did you tell us so much?" Deng Qing asked curiously. "Aren’t you afraid that knowing the details of Chinese Medicine will make us fear it and resist it?"
Zhu Yanyi laughed lightly. "I know you are all medical elites from around the world. But since you came to China, you surely want to learn more about different medical arts. I just don’t want anyone to deceive you by claiming their art is the authentic traditional Eastern medicine. Nor do I want anyone to step on Chinese Medicine to rise to power. I am Chinese. Our national treasures are few, so I must protect them well, lest they be trampled."
At this moment, not only Gu Jingtian but everyone present understood why Zhu Yanyi did this. She was using this opportunity to expose the secret schemes of Country H and Country R. They wanted to claim that Han Medicine and Tian Medicine were the ancestors of Chinese Medicine, which was impossible. They wanted to step on Chinese Medicine to rise, which was also impossible.
Gu Jingtian secretly gave Zhu Yanyi a thumbs-up. Amazing, their little junior sister. She had taken such a long detour to achieve their goal. Before Country H and Country R could act, she had already broken their plans. Her move of striking first was executed perfectly.
Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly. She hadn’t originally planned to do this, but things had coincided. Since some people were interested in Chinese Medicine, she decided to use their plan against them. Regardless, even if she couldn’t completely eliminate the schemes of Country H and Country R, they would not dare to act rashly now. Zhu Yanyi had made it clear: Chinese Medicine has a long history and is a national treasure of China. It is not allowed for others to step on it to rise. Today’s bold action was an absolute open strategy.
When a conspiracy meets an open strategy, the conspiracy automatically fails. At this moment, the representatives from Country H and Country R did not look very happy.
