Peerless Physician: The Path of a Foolish Eldest Daughter's Rise to Power

Large beads of sweat covered her forehead, and her legs trembled uncontrollably. Gu Xinyue calculated in her mind what her chances of survival were after jumping from here. As long as she survived, she could heal herself.

Several arrows shot towards the tiger and wolf with a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sound. Enraged by the arrows, the tiger kicked off with its front paws and pounced on Gu Xinyue. She was so frightened that her face turned pale. The tiger fell straight down as soon as it leaped into the air, crashing into the ground with a loud bang.

Gu Xinyue was overjoyed to have escaped death. She slowly exhaled and involuntarily took a step back, only to lose her footing and fall.

The moment her body fell, her heart felt like it was being torn apart, almost leaping out of her chest. The original owner of this body had jumped off a cliff to save her innocence, but she had accidentally fallen off, and she really didn't want to die.

She wanted to get out of the forest alive, return to the village, return to the capital, and return to her parents. She was unwilling to be bound by fate, but her out-of-control body made her feel helpless.

However, instead of falling onto the cold ground, she landed in a warm embrace. Gu Xinyue instinctively hugged the body, and the overwhelming sense of security made her feel relaxed.

Then close your eyes, press your face against the other person's chest, and slowly calm down from the fear and shock.

She could feel the other person's heartbeat; the heart rate was too fast, which was abnormal. She quickly looked up and saw the other person's three-dimensional features, delicate skin with a bluish-black tinge, purple lips, and long, jet-black hair cascading down their back.

The handsome man was looking at her tenderly, as if she were seeing a lover she had waited for for a thousand years. Gu Xinyue dared not look directly at him, afraid that she might be captivated by him if she didn't look at him.

He was poisoned, and the poison had already invaded his internal organs, endangering his life. Why was he still holding her? Looking at herself, Gu Xinyue was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do and quickly let go.

"Thank you for saving me. Can you put me down?" she said softly, her head bowed. But her voice was so soft that it surprised even herself; she never spoke like that before.

Could it be that she had fallen for his good looks and gentleness? Afraid of frightening the sickly handsome man, she shook her head, banishing the wild thoughts from her mind.

"Gurgle, gurgle." Gu Xinyue lowered her head, clenched her teeth, and frowned. How embarrassing! And how hungry she was!

"Okay." The handsome man slowly put Gu Xinyue down. Gu Xinyue looked at her dirty clothes, looking just like a refugee who had suffered from famine.

The man, dressed in flowing white robes, exuded an otherworldly aura despite his weak steps.

The man had just hugged her, and he didn't seem to mind that his clothes were tattered.

The man reached out his right hand to pat Gu Xinyue's shoulder, but as soon as he raised his hand, his legs went weak and his body slid down.

Gu Xinyue quickly stepped forward to help him up. Two figures appeared like ghosts and supported the man on either side. They were dressed in black, tall and straight, and nervously called out, "Master, Master!"

The two men in black cautiously helped the man back a step, their obvious defensiveness causing Gu Xinyue's hand to freeze in mid-air.

The two men in black refused Gu Xinyue's offer to help their master up. How awkward! They were strangers to each other, and she understood their caution.

Gu Xinyue withdrew her outstretched hand and looked at the unconscious man. Out of kindness, she said to the two men in black, "He can't move anymore, it will accelerate the spread of the poison to his internal organs. Quickly carry him to the bed and prepare silver needles soaked in wine."

Seeing the girl's determined gaze and hearing her resounding voice, the two men in black exchanged glances and carried the man into the bamboo house.

Gu Xinyue followed them toward the bamboo house. The bamboo house in front of her didn't look very big. Bamboo houses in the wild usually make people think of simplicity, but this bamboo house was anything but simple.

Upon entering the bamboo house, Gu Xinyue saw a spacious bed with the foot of the bed facing the window, and a wardrobe between the window and the door.

There was a large table in front of the door, with two armchairs on either side. One armchair was right next to the bed, and the other armchair was next to a chaise lounge. The chaise lounge was against the wall, and there was a window in the wall, so the whole room was very well lit. The floor inside was suspended to prevent moisture. There were three steps in front of the door.

Gu Xinyue looked at the man who was breathing rapidly and had fallen unconscious. She stepped forward and examined his eyes. She took a deep breath and began to take his pulse, placing her fingers on his pulse.

Her pulse was erratic, sometimes pounding wildly and sometimes stopping; she was terminally ill. But the images that appeared in her mind shocked her greatly—it was too miraculous!

She was overjoyed to discover that her brain contained dynamic scans of various parts of a man's body.

To verify this fact, she quickly took her own pulse. She could scan her body, and her brain and the chip provided results simultaneously. Apart from the bruises on her skin, she was in good health.

Gu Xinyue has a chip implanted in her brain; it's from the latest, all-purpose detection and scanning device she used before she transmigrated.

Haha, she was so excited. In this world of scarcity and lack of advanced medical equipment, the chip implanted in her brain can help with examinations and also help her complete many difficult surgeries.

She quickly composed herself and continued to take the man's pulse. He had been poisoned by two kinds of drugs: one was a recent poison that could cause a fatal overstimulation of the nerves, and the other was a chronic poison that had been lurking in his body for more than ten years.

This poison initially excites the mind and gives one a great deal of strength, but once it reaches the internal organs, it quickly brings death to the body.

The chronic poison he was given saved him. This type of poison is generally undetectable, and you don't feel anything normally, but it causes excruciating pain when it flares up.

The chronic poisoning greatly reduced the other toxicity, prolonging his life, but it was almost like being terminally ill.

Gu Xinyue looked at the two men in black. They were about the same height and build, with regular features. One had double eyelids, which made him look gentler, while the other had single eyelids, which did not affect his cold and aloof demeanor at all.

"There's no time to make an antidote. I need to do acupuncture first. Help him take off his clothes, just the upper body," Gu Xinyue said calmly.

After saying this, she walked out of the bamboo house. It turned out that she had seen the lake from the ancient tree as a natural medicinal pool, which was beneficial to men's illnesses, but its effect was not significant.

She looked up at the white clouds in the blue sky and thought of how the man was terminally ill, yet he was supporting his body with a tenacious will. He had such a strong will to live and cherished life so much. She would do everything she could to save him, especially since he had saved her.

The man in black with double eyelids approached Gu Xinyue and said, "Miss, we are ready. Please begin the acupuncture." Gu Xinyue nodded and quickly entered the bamboo hut.

The man in black with double eyelids wiped the man's chest and back with alcohol. Gu Xinyue picked up a silver needle and applied it precisely and quickly. A few breaths later, sweat dripped down his temples. This body doesn't exercise often and has poor stamina.

She was focused on inserting and manipulating the needles, unaware that the black-clad man with single eyelids never took his hand off the sword at his waist.

When the 32nd acupuncture session ended, during the needle retention period, Gu Xinyue sat on the armchair beside the bed, resting and thinking about finding the medicinal materials needed for detoxification.

She glanced casually and saw that the man in black kept his hand on his sword.

Gu Xinyue understood that he didn't believe she could cure the illness.

Fifteen minutes later, Gu Xinyue slowly began to remove the needles. When all the needles were out, she looked at the two men and said, "You'll vomit black blood in a moment." She wanted to explain, lest the man in black stab her to death.

A moment later, the man began to vomit, and the man in black stepped forward to help him up so he could vomit.

With a "vomit," a large mouthful of black blood sprayed onto the floor. After they helped the man lie down, the man in black with double eyelids began to take his pulse.

The man in black with double eyelids asked, "Miss, when will my master wake up? Is there any more treatment?"

"He needs to rest well. Please prepare some light food. I need to gather herbs. Is it convenient to brew the herbs here?"

"convenient."

“I just saw a lot of medicinal herbs here. Let’s go find some. When your master wakes up, do you have paper and pen? I’ll write down a prescription.”

The man in black quickly brought over a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and then ground the ink. Gu Xinyue wrote out the prescription.

She was quite satisfied with the small regular script she had written. Although the original owner of this body was simple-minded, she had indeed put a lot of effort into practicing calligraphy, and her characters were very neat. With a little more practice, she could also write them in a flowing and elegant style.

The forest is rich in medicinal herbs, but there is one herb called the Resurrection Flower that is a bit hard to find. It is a major herb that can easily inhibit the spread of poison. It grows in the crevices of sunny cliffs and has very small yellow flowers. The flowers are small and hard to find, and they are difficult to pick on the cliffs.

Gu Xinyue was afraid of encountering wild animals, so she searched with the double-eyelid man in black. They first went to the sunny cliff to observe, but found nothing.

It turns out this double-eyelid man in black is knowledgeable about medicinal herbs and is also a doctor; no wonder he took my pulse just now.

After finding all the other medicinal herbs, only the Resurrection Flower was missing. After Gu Xinyue explained the characteristics and habits of the Resurrection Flower to the double-eyelid man in black, they discovered that the cliff behind the pool was sunny, but they hadn't searched for it there yet.

There is always hope, but reality is often disappointing. Gu Xinyue stood by the pool, carefully examining the cliff face. The man in black went directly into the pool to look, but ultimately did not see the Resurrection Flower.
