Zhou Qingyu was momentarily stunned, then quickly grasped what she had said. He widened her eyes and asked excitedly, “Mr. Jun, are you saying you can save my sister?”

“The cold poison in her body is not ordinary. It’s caused by a thousand-year-old ice toad. Curing it completely is difficult, but I can extend her life by several decades without a problem.”

Extending her life by several decades was something the Zhou family had never even dared to dream of.

Zhou Qingyun, who was currently twenty years old, had been diagnosed by both the renowned physician of the Canghai Palace and the Grandmaster of the Danxin Pavilion. They both concluded that she had less than two years left to live.

“Can Mr. Jun really make my sister live for several more decades? Please tell us any conditions you have! As long as our Zhou family can do it, we will spare no effort!”

“I can employ a secret technique involving golden needles to isolate the cold poison within her body, preventing it from harming her vital organs, and brain, or causing future fainting spells. However, it’s essential to understand that this congenital cold poison is deeply ingrained in her, and we cannot entirely seal it off. Periodically, the cold poison will resurface, spreading throughout her body. Therefore, consistent treatment with golden needles is required. It’s worth noting that this approach may also impact her ability to walk normally in the future.”

“All, how can that be!” Ziying couldn’t help but interject.

Gu Qingluan gave her a faint glance.

Zhou Qingyun frowned and said, “Ziying, please don’t interrupt Mr. Jun when he’s speaking.”

Ziying closed her mouth, somewhat aggrieved.

“Mr. Jun, does this mean Qingyun will have to use a wheelchair in the future?”

“1 haven’t finished speaking. If you can find the Blazing Flame Grass, most of the cold poison in her body can be eliminated.”

Zhou Qingyun asked, “Doesn’t Blazing Flame Grass contain a potent toxin?”

Over the years, he had acquired a broad knowledge of medicine in his efforts to cure his sister’s illness.

Gu Qingluan nodded. “Yes, Blazing Flame Grass grows in extremely fiery places and contains a highly polarized fire toxin. It’s a case of using poison to fight poison, the only way to eliminate the cold poison inside her.”

Zhou Qingyun asked with concern, “Won’t it harm Qingyun’s body? With two different poisons colliding, she might not be able to bear it.”

“Well, given her current physical condition, it’s indeed not suitable for detoxification. We’ll need to prepare her body for some time before using Blazing Flame Grass.”

Seeing that she had considered everything, Zhou Qingyun’s trust in her deepened significantly.

He clasped his hands and respectfully bowed to Gu Qingluan.

“I earnestly request Mr. Jun to save Qingyun. I will have people search for the Blazing Flame Grass. Please tell us the compensation you require. As long as you can make Qingyun a normal person again and extend her life by several decades, my Zhou family will be completely satisfied.”

The Zhou family was the most prominent family in South Qing, and Gu Qingluan naturally didn’t hold back. She directly stated her request, “One thousand Xuanling Crystal Hearts.”

“What? One thousand Xuanling Crystal Hearts, that’s quite an audacious request!” Ziying gasped.

One thousand Xuanling Crystal Hearts could buy so many precious spirit pills.

Gu Qingluan regarded her with a half-smile and a somewhat serious demeanor. “Do you believe, in your perspective, that your young lady’s life is not equivalent to the value of one thousand Xuanling Crystal Hearts?” “Ziying, what’s gotten into you today? Wait outside, without my permission, you must not enter,” Zhou Qingyun said displeased.

Ziying’s face turned pale instantly.

The young master had never spoken to her in such a severe tone.

It’s all because of this guy surnamed Jun!

She bit her lower lip, harboring resentment in secret. However, she didn’t dare to show it and could only respond with a low voice before leaving the room with her head down.

“Mr. Jun, please forgive her. Ziying is just overly protective of her mistress. We’ve consulted many renowned physicians and alchemy masters, as well as some famous doctors from the streets. All of them were helpless in the face of Qingyun’s illness. Some of them even tried to profit from us by resorting to deceit, giving us false hope and then despair. Ziying has seen it all. When she sees someone as young as you, it’s natural for her to have doubts. Please understand any offense she may have caused.”

Gu Qingluan remained composed. “Protection of one’s master is commendable, but it should also be within the bounds of propriety. Otherwise, it’s not protection but harm to the master. I believe Young Master Zhou understands this.”

Zhou Qingyun’s expression grew serious. “Mr. Jun, you make a valid point. 1 will discipline this servant properly in the future.”

Gu Qingluan continued, “Let’s get back to the matter at hand.. Do you have any objections to the fee I’ve proposed, Young Master Zhou?”
