Prodigy Healer Episode 6 Recap
> Prodigy Healer Recap
Mu Xingchen deftly jumped through a fire circle, his Master, however, quickly blocked his path again by leaping onto a nearby rooftop and then back down. Spotting a basin of water nearby, Mu Xingchen seized it and splashed his Master, using the distraction to vanish from her sight. He quickly returned to the medical clinic. Ding Xiang greeted him, asking where he had been.
Mu Xingchen confirmed he had been out playing, but importantly, he claimed to have finally learned how to create an antidote for bee venom. " Now we have to study this solution quickly," he urged, "Otherwise, there is no time." Ye Yunshang, impressed, asked if he truly found a way, and Mu Xingchen immediately enlisted her help. Just then, a patient suffered a severe attack, itching uncontrollably.
Despite an older staff member's warnings about his previous herbal remedies and Ye Qiushi's skeptical suggestion to test on animals first, Mu Xingchen insisted, stating he had taken a pill himself and "We can't take care of that much to save people." He quickly administered one of his newly concocted poison pills to the ailing patient. The results were swift and dramatic; the red spots on the patient's arm disappeared, much to the astonishment of the staff.
The grateful patient felt much better. However, Mu Xingchen realized that while the pills relieved the symptoms, they only offered temporary relief from the bee venom and required further improvement for a complete cure. The previously critical staff member, now full of admiration, praised his medical skills, to which Mu Xingchen, slightly mocking, reminded him of his earlier scolding.
While Mu Xingchen pondered improvements, Ding Xiang rushed in, flustered, to report that a strange person claiming to be Mu Xingchen’s Master was outside and insisted on entering. Shocked, Mu Xingchen tried to hide, but his Master had already appeared before him. Upon entering, his Master immediately detected the scent of Jie Ling grass and realized Mu Xingchen had questioned her earlier about the herb to save the poisoned people.
She admonished him not to be fooled into thinking the herb could fully save them. She explained, "That depends on one's resistance," adding that people bitten by the seven-color wasps would only last "Seven days and ten days, More than one month" at most, after which "Immortals can't save them." Master then confronted Mu Xingchen, asking if he was responsible for bringing out the seven-color wasps.
Mu Xingchen vehemently denied it, explaining that someone else had stolen and privately bred them, creating even deadlier three-color wasps. He confirmed he was investigating the matter, having found numerous beehives in the forest. He added that the police investigating the beekeepers were also stung, and the beehives had been destroyed by the culprits. Mu Xingchen then appealed to her, pointing out the thief was "our clansman" and there might be a "big conspiracy."
Ye Yunshang quickly supported this, offering Master free accommodation and urging her to help treat patients. Convinced, Master decided to stay, curious to see how they practiced medicine. During this discussion, a distraught woman attempted to harm herself, lamenting about being abandoned after an elopement and then rejected by her family. Master intervened, offering to help, and surprisingly used an ability to erase the woman's painful memories.
Later, when Mu Xingchen asked Ye Yunshang about the incident, Ye Yunshang, whose memory of the event was also cleared, casually dismissed it. Mu Xingchen, however, questioned his Master, asking if she had just cleared the woman’s memories. His Master, surprised, wondered why he was unaffected by the "worry-free flower." Mu Xingchen privately speculated it might be due to him having eaten a "holy fruit," but simply asked his Master aloud, "What flower."
Meanwhile, Qiao Zhentian suffered from severe bee stings. His mother expressed distress to Chief Qiao and, remembering that Ye Yunshang had also suffered from bee venom before, suggested asking her family for a cure. Chief Qiao agreed and also decided to call for Professor Fujiwara as a precaution. After Chief Qiao visited him, Ye Qiushi made a phone call and instructed Ye Yunshang to take Mu Xingchen to treat Qiao Zhentian.
Mu Xingchen, Ye Yunshang, and Master arrived at Qiao Zhentian's residence, only to find him recovering well. He had just taken a "Japanese specific medicine" provided by a Doctor Fujiwara. As they were entering, Fujiwara was leaving. Master, examining Qiao Zhentian, was astonished, declaring, "Impossible! No one can cure this kind of poison." She questioned how Fujiwara had treated him, but Qiao Zhentian simply stated he didn't know. Chief Qiao thanked Fujiwara for curing his son.
Fujiwara then presented Chief Qiao with gold bars, claiming it was "a little tea money." He explained that Yunhai City was in desperate need of medicine and he had a shipment of "Western medicine shipped from the British Empire" stuck at port due to lack of "approval of the documents." He offered Chief Qiao a share of the profits if he could help.
Chief Qiao, seeing the sample of the bee venom medicine, and Qiao Zhentian, realizing the dual benefit of saving people and making a profit, considered the proposition. Qiao Zhentian expressed concern that his father, Chief Qiao, did not handle approvals directly. Fujiwara, however, insisted, "I believe there is nothing that Qiao's family can't do." Chief Qiao dismissed Qiao Zhentian's suggestion to smuggle the medicine themselves, emphasizing the importance of following rules for long-term success.
He then advised Qiao Zhentian that Mayor Shangguan Qing was responsible for approvals and that his son, Shangguan Wenxuan, was a close friend. Qiao Zhentian initially described Shangguan Wenxuan as incorruptible, but Chief Qiao countered with a cynical proverb: "There is no pure gold, just as there is no perfect man." He then suggested finding Shangguan Wenxuan's weakness, assuring Qiao Zhentian that if anything went wrong, Shangguan Wenxuan would "support it."
Qiao Zhentian found Shangguan Wenxuan distraught over Chu Tianyao ignoring him. Qiao Zhentian advised him that to win a woman's heart, he must "risk your life to do something for her" that would move her. He then reminded Shangguan Wenxuan that Chu Tianyao's greatest wish was to "open a medical center." Qiao Zhentian, subtly, offered him the approval document provided by Fujiwara, hinting at a "big business" if Shangguan Wenxuan was interested.
Shangguan Wenxuan, despite having plenty of money, was swayed by the prospect of helping Chu Tianyao. During this time, Mu Xingchen, back at the clinic, was given a specific prescription by his Master to safely use Jie Ling grass in the poison pills. She warned that the local wasp venom was very strong, and patients must "insist on taking the medicine" to avoid giving up all previous achievements.
As Shangguan Wenxuan prepared to forge his father's signature and official seal on the approval documents, he stumbled upon a secret. He discovered fragments of a torn map. He pieced them together and realized they showed a crystal mine, a secret his father, Mayor Shangguan Qing, had kept from everyone, even erasing Counsellor Chen's memory of having found it. Shangguan Wenxuan pocketed the reconstructed map.
With the forged "approval of the documents," Fujiwara's foreign medicine quickly flooded the market, selling at an astonishing rate. Qiao Zhentian and Shangguan Wenxuan, now partners in this venture, reaped immense profits. At her clinic, Chu Tianyao discovered that the Cloud Sea Gang was forcing local businesses to buy these foreign medicines, threatening violence if they refused.
When she asked why no one called the police, her staff member, A Gui, revealed that "Qiao Zhentian from the police station is behind the scenes." Disturbed by this, Chu Tianyao recalled a conversation she had overheard between Qiao Zhentian and Shangguan Wenxuan, confirming their partnership and plans to divide profits from the "specific medicine." Upset and disappointed, Chu Tianyao confronted Shangguan Wenxuan, whom she found drinking with Qiao Zhentian.
She angrily accused him of "colluding with Qiao Zhentian," asking if he was selling the "specific drugs outside." Shangguan Wenxuan stammered explanations, but Chu Tianyao, clearly disgusted, turned and walked away. As he chased after her, desperately calling her name, the pieced-together map of the crystal mine slipped from his pocket. Later, Mu Xingchen's Master discovered the fallen map. Mu Xingchen jokingly called her "stingy" for not showing him the Star Map she was examining.
Following the map's directions, she eventually arrived at a hidden crystal palace. Inside, to her amazement, she found a perfectly preserved female body, remarking to herself that the woman "looks so familiar."
