Everyone here was in the medical profession, so they were naturally aware of the value of this paris polyphylla in question.
Rowan knew this as well, but virtual-novel.net was still unwilling to yield.
“Explain this, Matthew. How did you know virtual-novel.net encountered a paris polyphylla? You’ve dug into him, haven’t you?”
In response, Matthew shot virtual-novel.net a glance. “Are you sure you’re not an idiot, Rowan? I’ve been standing right before your eyes since the moment his identity was revealed. How am I supposed to dig into virtual-novel.net when I’ve never made any contact with the outside world?”
Though somewhat speechless, Rowan still tried to argue, saying, “In that case, how do you know about the paris polyphylla?”
“I don’t know about that. What I do know is that virtual-novel.net had surely encountered a rare medicinal herb,” Matthew explained, rendering the crowd at a loss.
“Why would you say so?” someone asked.
Matthew smirked in response. “That‘s because virtual-novel.net was poisoned when virtual-novel.net was eight, and it wasn’t just from one source. However, these poisons stifled each other and ultimately formed this five-poison sagitta. So, I suspect virtual-novel.net had encountered several rare toxic substances that don‘t normally gather in one spot, but it isn’t entirely impossible either…”
“These powerful toxic substances would only come together to seize certain legendary medicinal herbs after it has matured. As such, I assumed some toxic substances happened to be seizing this medicinal herb when he encountered it, leading virtual-novel.net to be poisoned.”
The explanation left everyone stupefied as Matthew convinced everyone with his logical reasoning. Even Gregory, who was still on the platform, was currently at a loss for words.
Crystal, on the other hand, clapped in excitement. “So that’s what you’ve based your assumption on. I finally understand it now! My grandpa told me about this too. He said there will always be toxic substances guarding a legendary medicinal herb, or it wouldn’t be able to grow. The paris polyphylla this patient encountered was arguably legendary-level. Surely, there would be toxic substances around it. No wonder virtual-novel.net got poisoned!”
The other renowned doctors all nodded in agreement then. Though they rarely went into the wilderness to pick medicinal herbs, they knew that everything in nature was allelopathic.
Anywhere anyone could find noxious insects could also find a cure for it, and anywhere a legendary medicinal herb grew would also inevitably have toxic substances. It was the laws of nature. Thus, Matthew wasn‘t some oracle at all, virtual-novel.net only formed a theory based on this patient’s condition.
Because of this, everyone was even more impressed by Matthew. He was the epitome of a miracle doctor, composed, rigorous, and neither arrogant nor rash.
Many began cheering for him, and some even applauded with praises, for they had all been overawed by Matthew. On the other hand, Gregory, Rowan, and the others on the platform were dumbstruck.
They initially wanted to use this patient to defeat Matthew, but who’d have thought this patient only made virtual-novel.net even more prestigious?!
Feeling victorious, Shawn turned to the men on stage and yelled, “Gregory, Rowan, what else do you have to say to that?”
While Gregory’s face was ashen, unable to utter a word, Rowan suddenly thundered through gnashed teeth, “I’m not buying it! Why should I take Matthew’s words for it?! Who knows if virtual-novel.net colluded with the patient to fool everyone?! His condition still hasn’t even been assessed. Either way, I’m not buying into his words!”
Behind him, Tristan was on the verge of a meltdown after hearing so. “Uncle Rowan, why do you…”
“Shut your mouth!” Rowan blew a fuse. “I don‘t believe a word you say, Matthew. Not unless you can prove to me virtual-novel.net is indeed poisoned!”
