I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

"The Wang family won't give up easily." I frowned. "Since they dared to come to our house and ask for someone, it means they are fully prepared."

Sure enough, the next morning, when I arrived at the clinic, I saw a group of people gathered at the door.

"That's him!" Someone in the crowd pointed at me. "This kid isn't some miracle doctor at all. He stole the Wang family's medical secrets!"

I looked closely and saw that the person who was speaking was wearing a white coat with a work badge from a hospital hanging on his chest.

"Dear patients, please don't be fooled!" Another person claiming to be a Chinese medicine expert stepped forward. "How could this person have such advanced medical skills without any previous medical training? He must have stolen the Wang family's secret recipe!"

The onlookers began to talk.

"real or fake?"

"Looking at his young age, it's indeed a bit suspicious."

"The Wang family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine. If they really learned it by stealing, that would be really abominable."

I sneered and walked up to the "experts." "Everyone, do you have any evidence to prove that I stole the Wang family's medical skills?"

The bespectacled "expert" confidently said, "You have no apprenticeship experience, no formal medical background, yet you can cure so many difficult and complicated diseases. This is itself very suspicious. Moreover, the Wang family's medical skills have been passed down for hundreds of years, and your treatment methods are very similar to theirs."

"Similar?" I laughed. "Then may I ask, what unique medical skills does the Wang family have? Show them to everyone."

Several "experts" looked at each other, obviously unable to produce any substantial evidence.

At this time, Wang Zhiyuan, the third son of the Wang family, squeezed out, holding a tattered book in his hand: "This is our Wang family's ancestral medical book. The prescriptions recorded in it are exactly the same as the ones you use!"

I took the book, flipped through it, and nearly burst out laughing. It was simply an ordinary textbook on basic Chinese medicine, and the prescriptions on it were all the most common classic prescriptions.

"Everyone," I held up the book, "the so-called ancestral secret manual that Mr. Wang brought out is actually the foundational textbook for Traditional Chinese Medicine Formulae. Anyone who has studied Traditional Chinese Medicine knows the recipes in it."

Someone in the crowd recognized the book: "Hey, isn't this the textbook I used in college?"

"Yes, yes, I have one too, exactly the same."

Wang Zhiyuan's face flushed, but he still said stubbornly, "That... that might be a different version. Anyway, you stole our family's medical skills!"

I shook my head. It seemed like it was time to show them real medical skills.

Lin Mo had just returned home from the clinic when he received a strange phone call.

"Excuse me, is this Dr. Lin? I'm Zhang Wenxuan, the marketing manager of Huaxia Pharmaceutical Group." A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone, his tone respectful but a little anxious.

"Is there anything wrong?" Lin Mo asked while changing his shoes.

"Well, our company is organizing a Chinese medicine academic exchange meeting soon and we'd like to invite you. The conference is of high standard, and the invited guests are all top doctors in the industry."

Lin Mo frowned: "I have no interest in this kind of academic conference, thank you."

"Don't be so quick to refuse!" Zhang Wenxuan said quickly, "This meeting is not an ordinary exchange meeting. We have a very precious ancient medical book on our hands, which we purchased from an overseas collector."

"What book?" Lin Mo stopped hanging up the phone.

"Hua Tuo Jing." Zhang Wenxuan's voice was full of pride. "This is a rare copy that has been circulating overseas for many years. We spent a lot of money to buy it back. The winner of this conference will get a complete copy of this book."

Lin Mo was shocked. The Hua Tuo Sutra? That was a treasure in the history of Chinese medicine. Legend has it that before Hua Tuo was killed, he passed his medical skills to a jailer, and then those skills were lost. If this was really the Hua Tuo Sutra...

"Are you sure this is the real Hua Tuo Sutra?"

"Of course! We've had several experts authenticate it, and it's absolutely authentic. Doctor Lin, with your medical skills, you're the undisputed champion of this competition."

Lin Mo pondered for a moment: "When exactly? Where?"

"Next month on the 15th, the location is a private island in Hainan. We cover the round-trip airfare and accommodation, all you need to do is bring your luggage."

After hanging up, Lin Mo felt something was amiss. Why would a pharmaceutical company make such a big deal? And cover the airfare and accommodations? How much would that cost?

But thinking of the Hua Tuo Sutra, Lin Mo decided to go and take a look. Even if it was a trap, he was not afraid of anything with his own ability.

On the other side, in the office of Huaxia Pharmaceutical Group, Zhang Wenxuan put down the phone with a smug smile on his face.

"Mr. Tanaka, Lin Mo has taken the bait." He said to a middle-aged Japanese man sitting next to him.

Tanaka Masato nodded. "Very good. That Hua Tuo Classic is indeed the best bait. The Chinese are always particularly concerned about things belonging to their ancestors."

"Then what do we do next?"

"Proceed as planned. Since he has the Wang family's secret manual, we will find a way to get it. If he doesn't cooperate..." A cold glint flashed in Tanaka Masato's eyes, "then let him stay on the island forever."

The next day, at the Wang family’s old house.

Wang Jianguo received a call from Zhang Wenxuan, who said that he wanted to cooperate with the Wang family to obtain the Wang family's inheritance secrets.

"You misunderstood. Our Wang family doesn't have any secret techniques at all." Wang Jianguo said with a wry smile.

"Mr. Wang, there's no need to hide it. We all know that Lin Mo stole your Wang family's medical books and is now scamming people outside." Zhang Wenxuan's tone became serious. "We at Huaxia Pharmaceutical have the ability to help you take back what belongs to the Wang family."

A gleam of light flashed in Wang Jianguo's eyes. These people actually believed that Lin Mo had stolen the Wang family's secret manual? This was a good opportunity.

"Indeed... that guy stole our Wang family's ancestral medical book." Wang Jianguo sighed deliberately, "But we are outnumbered and cannot defeat him at all."

"Then let us help you. As long as we can get the medical book, we only need to make a copy. The original will still be yours."

Wang Jianguo pretended to hesitate for a moment: "Well... okay. But that guy is very cunning and difficult to deal with."

"Don't worry, we have our own way."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Jianguo had a sinister smile on his face. Since the Wang family didn't have any secrets, he could just let these people mess with Lin Mo. Maybe he could even kill someone with a borrowed knife and get rid of this guy who brought shame to the Wang family.

Meanwhile, rumors have begun circulating in the Chinese medicine community that Lin Mo possesses the Wang family's secret manual. Some claim the manual is the long-lost Hua Tuo's posthumous manuscript, while others claim Lin Mo's rapid advancement in medical skills is due to his possession of this magical book.

The rumors became more and more outrageous, and some even said that Lin Mo could bring the dead back to life.

Lin Mo laughed off these rumors. He knew his medical skills came from the system and had nothing to do with the Wang family's secret manual. However, these rumors did bring him many patients, and his clinic's business was booming.
