The most abominable thing was that Shao Qingrou had agreed to ask the people of Heavenly Divination Sect for help, so no one had expected that she would leave them and never return.

Very well. This Shao Qingrou and her family were using this chance to suppress him. He would keep this hatred in mind.

The moment he heard that someone might be able to resolve this pressing emergency, General Ye didn’t bother to act distrustful and hurriedly said, “Quick, quick. Invite him in!”

However, the moment that Lu Jiu Que walked in, General Ye couldn’t hide the disappointment that filled his eyes.

It wasn’t that there was a problem with Lu Jiu Que’s image; it was just that she was simply too young!

Even the medicinal pills made by the veteran master alchemist of Yan Chai Hall couldn’t alleviate the group’s pain, let alone a master as young as this.

But he was already left with no other choice. Tomorrow was the day of the test. He could only try his best and take his chances with any possible solution, even if it seemed he was fighting a losing battle.

General Ye adjusted his emotions very quickly. He went straight to the point and asked in a straightforward manner, “You are much too courteous, Young Master. Did you say you had a medicine that could treat them? I, General Ye, will not beat about the bush. If you, Young Master, can get rid of this poison for them, I will owe you a favor.”

Lu Jiu Que talking with someone who was so forthright and clear. Besides, her target wasn’t General Ye.

“I will definitely try my best!”

The sounds of wailing echoed in the background.

“Please!”

…

To relieve these young masters and misses of their agony was nothing more than a matter of snapping her fingers for Lu Jiu Que.

But this opportunity hadn’t come by easily. How would anyone believe her if she didn’t put on a good show?

Lu Jiu Que pretended to look around and said some useless and technical words that put General Ye and Shopkeeper Yue into shock.

“What?! You mean to say that there’s no need for any medicinal pill?!”

“Yes. This isn’t poisoning. It’s just a problem with the nervous system.”

“This… What’s a nervous system?”

“Do you know why you are able to manipulate your limbs? It all depends on the nervous system, which, if I must say, is similar to the passages through which vital energy circulates in the human body. From the way they look, the problem lies in these passages for vital energy circulation. It isn’t poison, so naturally, antidotes for purging poison will take no effect.”

“It’s just… We know about these passages for vital energy, but now that there’s something wrong with them, what should we do?”

“You see, this young master is covering his abdomen. If we want to relieve him of his pain, then we need to start administering treatment from the acupoint nearest his large intestine. And as for this…”

…

In fact, Shopkeeper Yue was also a grade-two alchemist himself. This was also one of the reasons why he had dared to let Lu Jiu Que try.

If Lu Jiu Que was merely trying to boost his reputation and deceiving them, he would see through her at one glance.

It was just that this young man before him was obviously not a stickler for the rules. The confidence in the way he carried himself, the certainty in the way he spoke, and his highly profound knowledge made even Shopkeeper Yue feel as though the doors to a whole new world were being opened right before his very eyes.

And he, a grade-two alchemist who stood before this young man, actually became like a schoolboy, all tense and ill at ease!

Lu Jiu Que’s voice had barely died down when Shopkeeper Yue bowed deeply to her, and in a highly-emotional state, he said, “Young Master! I’ve really benefited a lot today! Thank you for being so generous with your teachings, Young Master!”

Lu Jiu Que smiled. Shaking her head, she said, “Don’t mention it at all.”

In truth, the reason why Shopkeeper Yue was so shocked was because the two sets of medical systems, the one from this world and the other from the world that Lu Jiu Que was from, were completely different from each other.

To put it bluntly, there were no doctors in this world—there were only alchemists.

Also, medicinal pills were the only things that illnesses could be cured by.

Seeing how Shopkeeper Yue was struggling to contain his emotions, even General Yue himself felt his eyes light up with great excitement.

He had originally thought he had come to the end of his rope, so it was certainly quite unexpected for him to find a silver lining.

This young master was truly his lucky star!
