Prodigy Healer Episode 35 Recap
> Prodigy Healer Recap
Mu Xingchen explained to Qiao Zhen Tian that he had witnessed his father's condition and was forced to act in self-defense, as he would have been harmed otherwise. Mu Xingchen suggested that the true culprit was the one controlling Qiao Zhen Tian’s father. After considering this, Qiao Zhen Tian agreed and decided to join forces with Mu Xingchen to find the real perpetrator.
Meanwhile, Kong Chan continued to absorb the sacred tree’s energy, a process that accelerated significantly with the help of the little sprite. She believed her growing power would soon make her unmatched and that only she was worthy of being the Chief of the Shenmu Tribe, vowing to show everyone how she would lead them.
She declared that she and the sacred tree were one, and she would protect the tribe, granting them anything they desired as long as they obeyed her. Held captive, Ye Yunshang experienced severe headaches whenever she thought of Mu Xingchen, a symptom of the merciless poison she had ingested. Driven by the agonizing pain, she realized that forgetting Mu Xingchen might free her from the poison's control, giving her a chance to escape.
With a surge of strength, she broke free from her iron chains and fled the prison. As Leiya was examining the sacred tree, Ye Yunshang appeared. Leiya asked if she had argued with Mu Xingchen, but Ye Yunshang looked blank, claiming she didn't know who he was. Mu Xingchen, who had arrived, was disheartened to realize she remembered others but not him. He tried to trigger her memory by reminding her of how she used to call him "Vet."
As Ye Yunshang struggled to recall, another wave of headaches overwhelmed her. Leiya quickly examined her, noting her dangerously high blood pressure and fragile blood vessels, diagnosing a severe neurotoxin. She explained that this poison could cause memory loss, or in severe cases, immediate death, admitting her inability to treat it with their current equipment. Mu Xingchen attempted to use his Qing Nang skills, but Ye Yunshang's pain was too intense, forcing him to stop.
Later, Mu Xingchen noticed an unusual glow emanating from the sacred tree, finally confirming Chu Tianyao's earlier warnings that Kong Chan was indeed draining its energy. Leiya worried that the sacred tree's destruction would halt her research. Mu Xingchen suggested she focus her research on Kong Chan instead. Leiya then proposed a plan to use explosives against Kong Chan, asking Mu Xingchen to lure her into Leiya's lab.
She cautioned him to keep Qiao Zhen Tian in the dark, given Kong Chan was his mother, but assured Mu Xingchen she had no intention of killing Kong Chan, as she needed her for experiments. At another time, Chu Tianyao urged Mu Xingchen to leave, warning him that Kong Chan had gone insane and the area was unsafe. Mu Xingchen refused, insisting he would only leave after Ye Yunshang was cured.
Chu Tianyao explained that there was no antidote for the merciless poison, but acupuncture could temporarily restore some of her memories. After Chu Tianyao performed the acupuncture, Ye Yunshang began to recall fragments of her past, including how Chu Tianyao had imprisoned and poisoned her. At this point, Leiya, utterly exasperated by Chu Tianyao, pointed a gun at her head and ordered her to leave. Chu Tianyao then departed.
Following Chu Tianyao's exit, Mu Xingchen and Leiya put their plan into action. Mu Xingchen informed Kong Chan that Leiya had made a breakthrough in her research, having analyzed all the components of the sacred tree and found ways to replicate its sap. He claimed this sap could not only heal but also control people if introduced into their water supply, promising that with her help, they could control everyone in the world.
Intrigued by the prospect of such power, Kong Chan followed Mu Xingchen to Leiya's laboratory. As the explosives were ignited, Qiao Zhen Tian, having become suspicious, rushed in and warned Kong Chan to flee. Kong Chan managed to escape, but as Leiya tried to follow, Kong Chan attacked and killed her. Qiao Zhen Tian frantically rushed to Leiya's side, holding her lifeless body and repeatedly apologizing, heartbroken by her death.
Kong Chan, enraged by Mu Xingchen's betrayal and his attempt to conspire against her, turned her murderous intent on him. Knowing he was outmatched, Mu Xingchen quickly fled. While trying to evade Kong Chan’s forces, Mu Xingchen again encountered Ye Yunshang. He tried to get her to come with him, but she pushed him away, asking who he was. Mu Xingchen realized she had forgotten him yet again.
He tried to remind her, and she pulled out a notebook containing a drawing of him. Mu Xingchen sadly noted that the drawing only vaguely resembled him, particularly his hairstyle, making it understandable why she struggled to recognize him. As the sounds of searching guards approached, Ye Yunshang, desperate not to forget him again, suddenly took out a bottle of liquid she had acquired from Leiya and drank it.
She explained it was sacred tree sap, her last hope to cure the poison. Mu Xingchen scolded her for taking such a dangerous risk, but it was too late. Soon after, the sap took effect, causing Ye Yunshang to collapse in agony. Meanwhile, Mu Nan Yu discovered a Soul-Devouring Nail. Kong Chan, upon seeing it, confirmed it was hers and explained its deadly power, capable of killing even those who had consumed the holy fruit.
Mu Nan Yu instantly realized Kong Chan was responsible for Xiaodie's death. Enraged, he lunged at her, but, having lost his powers, he was no match for Kong Chan. She brazenly admitted that she had also orchestrated the chase that had pursued him and Xiaodie years ago, and it was she who had poisoned Xiaodie in the forest. Mu Nan Yu was filled with regret, realizing how he had wrongly blamed his brother, Mu Beichuan, for so many years.
Kong Chan then issued an ultimatum: those who betrayed her would face either death or eternal slavery by her side. After regaining consciousness, Ye Yunshang recounted how Chu Tianyao had harmed her. Mu Xingchen, furious, wanted to confront Chu Tianyao, but Ye Yunshang urged him to remain calm, emphasizing that dealing with Kong Chan was their immediate priority. They then discovered a hidden chamber where they unexpectedly found Qiao Zhen Tian.
He revealed he had stolen the chief's key from Kong Chan. Using the key, they unlocked an inner room, where Mu Xingchen discovered the long-lost secret manual of the Shenmu Tribe's Qing Nang skills. Reading it, Mu Xingchen learned that the manual contained both the "Dead Sentence," a powerful destructive technique, and the "Lingsheng Mantra," a rebirth art. He believed the Lingsheng Mantra could be used to counter Kong Chan's destructive power.
However, he lamented that the book only contained the practice methods, missing the crucial guiding techniques, which he suspected were hidden in another book. Despite the challenge of mastering it in such a short time, they knew they had no other choice.
