‘Fighting poison with poison?’ Mu Mingtang couldn’t believe her ears at first, but after thinking for a while, she finally guessed the real meaning of the little Taosit’s words.

Mu Mingtang wanted to know more detailed information, so she continued. “How can this method of fighting poison with poison be used?”

“Although this method sounds simple and doable, it is not as easy as it seems. Prince An have been affected by the scent of Wuyufei for a while now, so if he is suddenly told to inhale the fragrance of medication which will counter Wuyufei’s effect, it might make him go out of control. There is nothing we can do about it. If the prince can control himself and continue inhaling the medication, then gradually his body will get used to it and Wuyufei’s effects will also vanish over time.” The Taoist carefully explained the mechanism of fighting poison with poison.

“So you mean…” Mu Mingtang tensed and scared by the little Taoist’s words.

“I will create medicine as per Master’s idea. As medicine is going to use Wuyufei as its main ingredient, I’m naturally going to use a small amount of it first to see how it works. If he can control his thoughts and resist going berserk, I’ll gradually increase the dose to burn the roots of Wuyufei completely. The most important point is that if the prince can endure the pain when the medicine destroys Wuyufei in any closed room without being disturb then he has nothing to fear.”

In order to prevent children from being infected with smallpox, the folks deliberately would expose children to the skin scabs dropped by a person who was infected with smallpox. That was comparable to a vaccination against smallpox. The child’s life would be in danger if they were unable to resist. Although it was somewhat risky, that method had been useful.

The treatment plan proposed by the little Taoist was similar to smallpox vaccination, and the mechanisms of both were same.

The little Taoist’s remarks enlightened Mu Mingtang, but she was still filled with uncertainty: “I understand that, but in case…”

“There’s nothing wrong with it. This method can work. So let’s do what he said and observe,” Xie Xuanchen was well aware of Mu Mingtang’s worries.

The Taoist was truly shocked to hear Xie Xuanchen consoling Mu Mingtang. He wasn’t actually sure he would get the approval from any of them to follow his plan before he suggested the treatment method. Most nobles were spoiled from birth and would not even dab their fingertips in water. The Taoist speculated that Xie Xuanchen might not be willing to endure such a course of treatment. However, the Taoist was mistaken. When had the God of War, Xie Xuanche, been such a coward?

Now that Xie Xuanchen was cooperating, the little Taosit felt relieved.

“Prince, it is not as easy as you think. This method is very painful and gradually the pain would only intensify. Don’t blame me later if you could not endure it.” The Taosit decided to give one final warning.

“Don’t worry.” Xie Xuanchen had no intention of changing his decision, “Let’s get started.”

The little Taoist scratched his head and said: “There are still many preparations to be made for the actual implementation. First of all, we need a quiet and sturdy room. In case you went berserk, the situation will be very dangerous considering that your strength is a bit too high. So, to be on the safe side, when you smell the medicine, you must be locked in the room alone.”

“It’s okay.” Xie Xuanchen replied.

“And during my treatment, no one shall disturb me. By the way, you will need to pay for the ingredients yourself.”

‘Oh~ this little Taoist… is such a money fanatic…’ Mu Mingtang frowned.

“Ok, we’ll deal with that.” Xie Xuanchen gave his words to the little Taoist.

“Then there is only one problem left.” The young Taoist said with an embarrassed look, “Since the medicine is going to use Wuyufei as the main ingredient, we will have to procure it first. Wuyufei is only produced in southern Xinjiang, so it will take me some time to get it.”
