chapter 17 Who is the bad guy?

What?

After hearing this, not only Elody was stunned, but even Rocco was a little confused.

"This is Dr. Kircher," the waiter said in a low voice.

Rocco asked, "Dr. Kircher, you said that I took human life lightly, where is the evidence?"

Dr. Kircher sneered, and the prescription rattled in his hand, "This is the evidence, do you still want to deny it?"

Elody couldn't stand it any longer, frowned and said, "Hey, what are you talking about! This is the medicine Mr. Flanders prescribed for my dad!"

She finally went out alone with Rocco and was in a good mood, but this guy ruined it!

"Beauty, you have been deceived!" Dr. Kircher inadvertently glanced at Elody's beautiful legs and continued, "This prescription is highly toxic. Not only will it not cure the disease, but it will also kill your father!"

These words made Elody feel hairy all over, and she looked at Rocco with confusion on her face.

Rocco smiled helplessly.

Although he had only been studying medicine and martial arts with his master for two years, the master had taught him all his life-long knowledge. Now, Rocco's medical skills were far superior to those in the country!

How come there was problems with the medicines he prescribed?

"How dare you treat people with your poor skill?" Dr. Kircher saw that Rocco was speechless and became more and more convinced that he was just a layman.

"Then tell me, where does the poison come from?" Rocco asked.

"You should know about the 18 reactions of traditional medicine, right?" Dr. Kircher said arrogantly.

"Yes." Rocco nodded. Chemical reactions would occur between different medicinal materials, resulting in toxic and side effects. This was the basis of traditional medicine. How could people who study medicine not know this?

"Now that you know it, why do you put licorice and genkwa together? Boiling these two herbs will produce cold poison, which will be extremely harmful to the body!"

The more Dr. Kircher talked, the more he felt justified and confident.

At this time, more and more people were watching, and everyone was whispering to each other.

"Did you see that Dr. Kircher has caught a charlatan again, three times this month?"

"How dare these people prescribe random prescriptions to patients? They could end up killing people!"

"It's all about money, it's so crazy!"

"It's better to see Dr. Kircher for medical treatment. His father is Director Kircher of the Traditional Medicine Hospital. He must be very good at his family skills."

The chattering voice made Elody upset. She stared at Rocco anxiously, thinking, 'You should explain quickly. Why are you being so quiet and calm?'

Of course Elody believed in Rocco. After all, she had seen Rocco's medical skills before, but she couldn't let Dr. Kircher talking nonsense!

"Heh."

After a long time, Rocco finally spoke, "You only know that the eighteenth reactions are poisonous, but you don't know that the eighteenth reactions can fight poison with poison. You are not good at medicine."

"You!" Dr. Kircher was furious. This person actually dared to mock him, "You have to be careful when using poison to fight poison. Such a powerful medicine will definitely kill the patient!"

Dr. Kircher relied on his many years of experience and didn't take Rocco seriously at all.

"It seems that you really don't understand anything." Rocco looked like he was teaching and educating people. "It is true that boiling licorice and genkwa will produce cold poison, but I added a taste of peony to the prescription, which can neutralize it. So this recipe is not only non-toxic, but a tonic.”

"This prescription uses a cooling tonic. It first releases the heat toxins in the patient's body, and then circulates the tonic."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the sound, and Elody also looked confused. It was too complicated and she couldn't understand it at all.

"Nonsense!" Dr. Kircher's face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot. "Where did you read the street stall article? Who told you that peony can detoxify?"

Rocco shrugged, "Third Edition of Traditional Medicine Codex."

Upon hearing this, not only did Dr. Kircher laugh, but even the waiter behind him covered his mouth and snickered, "Dr. Kircher is familiar with the pharmacopoeia. If there is one, how could he not know it?"

Rocco didn't take it seriously, "Why don't you just check it out?"

"You really refuse to be convinced until you're faced with the grim reality!" Dr. Kircher snorted coldly, took out a heavy medicine dictionary, and threw it on the counter, "Tell me, which page and which line!"

"One hundred and seventy-fifth page, sixth line from the bottom." Rocco said calmly.

Dr. Kircher opened the pharmacopoeia with a sneer on his lips, "If it really contains what you said, I will eat this book without saying a word!"

Dr. Kircher was determined not to believe Rocco. He had been studying medicine since he was a child. He had read this pharmacopoeia over and over again, but there was no mention of Rocco's words at all!

Hurrah!

The pages of the book turned, and the sound was very subtle, but it struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.

Especially Elody, her fair and tender face turned red from holding back her breath, and she didn't even dare to breathe.

One hundred and seventy-fifth page, sixth line from the bottom...

"Huh, I said..." Dr. Kircher quickly browsed the above content, but there were no words like what Rocco said, and a joy of victory came to his heart.

However, before he finished speaking, the pupils of his eyes suddenly shrank, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

Dr. Kircher's body stiffened and his hands drooped weakly.

Snap!

The pharmacopoeia fell heavily to the ground, startling everyone.

Elody hurried forward, picked up the pharmacopoeia, and murmured, "Grass is the opposite of genkwa. It is best to use peony in combination to solve the problem."

Hiss!

Everyone was shocked. The pharmacopoeia said exactly the same thing as Rocco, and Dr. Kircher was wrong!

Everyone's eyes began to change when they looked at Dr. Kircher, from respect to doubt. They knew that this guy was just a dabbler, so he relied on his teacher's statement to show off his power.

How dared he mock others as being a dabbler. As for himself, he might as well be a dabbler!

Pooh!

What a lame guy!

On the contrary, the young man opposite was pretty good. In terms of attitude and medical skills, he was much better than Dr. Kircher!

Dr. Kircher's head almost exploded as he listened to the cynicism of the customers. He was familiar with the pharmacopoeia, but why had he never seen this paragraph before? The eighteen reactions were extremely basic things. How could he get it wrong?

Moreover, in front of so many patients, wouldn't this cost his life?

It was completely over, and his medical career was over.

"You just said that if what I said is true, you will eat the pharmacopoeia?" In the silence, Rocco said with a half-smile.

"Ah? This..." Dr. Kircher recovered from his confusion, and his face turned red with embarrassment. He had never been so embarrassed in his life.

Elody pushed the pharmacopoeia to him, stuck out her tongue, and smiled playfully, "You'd better add some salt, otherwise you won't be able to swallow it!"

Dr. Kircher's face turned red and white. He was extremely embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Okay, get me those medicine." Rocco turned to the waiter and said.

He was not an unforgiving person. Dr. Kircher was just not good at medicine and could be taught a lesson.

Soon, ten pairs of medicines of each of the three prescriptions were prepared, and Rocco and Elody walked towards the door.

"Wait a minute, it's not that easy to just leave after making trouble!" As he spoke, a man with gold-rimmed glasses blocked Rocco's way and said with a gloomy face.
