Chapter 342: Frustrated and Defeated_1
"What’s the matter?"
Given that he had already accepted a favour, it was difficult for Su Chengyu to refuse.
"My father-in-law was a soldier in his youth and was injured in battle, leaving him with a lingering illness. Although he’s been taking medicine over the years, he’s been getting sicker as he grows older. His chronic illness has recently flared up and he has been bedridden for a month. Famous doctors from Jiangdong, even from across the Longjiang Four Provinces, are powerless to help him. I wonder if Mr. Su has a way to cure him?"
"I’ve heard there’s a divine doctor in Jiangyang named Wu Taisheng, whose medical skills are remarkable. Can’t he cure him?" Su Chengyu asked nonchalantly.
"Doctor Wu’s medical expertise is indeed exceptional; if not for his prescriptions, my father-in-law wouldn’t have lived this long. But now that the chronic illness has worsened, even Doctor Wu has declared himself powerless," Chen Yuanheng explained.
"After the auction ends, I can find time to see him. But I must tell you, I’m not a professional doctor and I might not be able to cure him. You could bid for the Yuan-increasing Pills for him to consume. Although the condition will not be cured, he should be able to live for another two or three years."
Su Chengyu had very little interest in becoming involved. Chronic diseases were difficult to cure. To him, it was not really challenging, but he would need to use mana.
Su Chengyu did not want to reveal his Cultivator identity directly.
"Indeed, the Yuan-increasing Pills can prolong life, but if we could cure his chronic illness and then give him the elixir, my father-in-law could live for several more years. If Mr. Su has a viable medical treatment, I will definitely do my best to meet your reward demands."
Chen Yuanheng did seem to care about his father-in-law quite a bit, and Su Chengyu nodded silently in response.
After Chen Yuanheng left, Su Chengyu quickly put away all the ingredients. He planned to take the two remaining spiritual herbs at the auction that evening, then he would consider his trip to Jiangyang City successful.
