"Could it be that the problem isnât with the elixir?"
Li Junyu hesitated for a moment, then spoke up.
How could Shi Tian, an alchemist of this level, have some other alchemistâs elixir in his possession?
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"If itâs not an issue with the elixir, then what could it be?" Li Jiayan said.
"Yes, Jun Yu, just listen to your uncle and try to meet Master Shitian once more."
"Master Shitian is the No. 1 Alchemist of Western Origin. The elixirs he refines are vastly different from those made by other alchemists."
"It must be an issue with the elixir."
"For the sake of Little Rou, please bear with it. If itâs really impossible, I will go myself," Li Xincheng said.
"Alright."
Seeing Li Xincheng say this, Li Junyu gritted his teeth.
Although going to visit again so soon, and at this late hour, wasnât great,
for the sake of Li Rou, Li Junyu had no choice.
Leaving the Li Family, Li Junyu returned once more to Shitianâs Mansion.
"Master Shitian, Li Junyu of the Li Family requests to see you again!"
Outside the door, Li Junyu spoke once more.
Inside, Shi Tian immediately furrowed his brows.
Only Qin Chenâs face showed no great surprise, as if he had anticipated this.
Shi Tian opened the door for Li Junyu once more.
"Apologies, Master Shitian, but this is a matter of life and death, and Iâm left with no choice. I hope Master Shitian can understand,"
Li Junyu said with a face full of embarrassment.
"Come in," Shi Tian said.
"Master Shitian, may I ask, was the Warm Sun Pill you gave me earlier crafted by your own hand?"
Upon entering the room, Li Junyu asked directly.
"The elixir I, Shi Tian, give you is naturally made by my own hand," Shi Tian said.
Upon hearing this, Li Junyuâs expression changed dramatically.
In truth, what he really wanted to hear at that moment was Shi Tian saying that the Warm Sun Pill wasnât crafted by him.
"But why did the Warm Sun Pill have no effect when my sister took it?" Li Junyu asked.
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Tian furrowed his brows.
No effect?
How could the elixir handcrafted by Shi Tian be ineffective?
But at this moment, Qin Chen, who had been sitting to the side, suddenly spoke up.
"Thatâs because your sister isnât afflicted by Cold Poison, so it naturally has no effect," Qin Chen said.
"Not Cold Poison?" Li Junyu was startled.
"I mentioned this before."
"If your sister was truly poisoned by Cold Poison, then the Warm Sun Pill could naturally eradicate it."
"If it cannot be eradicated, then it naturally proves that your sister is not afflicted by Cold Poison, and the Warm Sun Pill would naturally be ineffectual," Qin Chen said.
Many poisons resemble Cold Poison, but they are worlds apart.
Thus, Qin Chen spoke those words before, as he had anticipated this in his heart.
"But, we consulted every physician in Qiuzhou City, and they all concurred that my sister was suffering from Cold Poison," Li Junyu said.
Actually, he had previously harbored suspicions that Li Rou might be afflicted by some other poison.
But upon seeing all the physicians so confident, Li Junyu dismissed this notion.
"Forgive my bluntness,"
"but they might be ignorant," Qin Chen said.
Though Qiuzhou City is a major city,
within the entire Great Origin Dynasty, or even the entire Star Summoning Seven Dynasties, it is merely a small place.
The medical skills of the physicians in this place are naturally not high, so misdiagnosis is a normal occurrence.
"Ah?"
Li Junyu obviously didnât expect Qin Chen to say that, with a hint of surprise crossing his face.
After all, Qin Chen appeared too young, and his words made it sound as if Qin Chen was the ignorant one.
"Then Young Master Qin, if itâs not Cold Poison, what might it be?"
Li Junyu asked tentatively.
"Iâve never even seen your sister, so how could I possibly diagnose what poison afflicts her?" Qin Chen shook his head.
"Li Family boy,"
"consider yourself lucky to have encountered Doctor Qin at the right time."
"Otherwise, your sister might truly have been beyond saving."
At this time, Shi Tian spoke with a smile.
Li Junyuâs eyes widened in surprise.
From Shi Tianâs words, he extracted many meanings.
It seemed that Qin Chenâs medical skills were exceedingly high?
But looking at Qin Chenâs youthful appearance, lacking the demeanor of a physician, it was truly hard for him to believe.
Yet, Shi Tian had no reason to deceive him!
Subsequently, he gritted his teeth.
"Young Master Qin, please accompany me to the Li Mansion."
"If Young Master Qin truly cures my sister Li Rou, we will certainly regard you as an honored guest of the Li Family!"
"Furthermore, thereâs a Heavenâs Pride in the Li Family, my cousin, named Li Jiayue. She is currently training in the Butterfly Flower Divine Sect, one of the Four Great Legendary Forces, a true Heavenly Pride."
"She heard about my sister Li Rouâs critical condition and is rushing back."
"If Young Master Qin cures my sister, perhaps then my cousin could introduce Young Master Qin to join a Legendary Force for training!"
Shi Tianâs trust in Qin Chen ignited a spark of hope in Li Junyu.
"Butterfly Flower Divine Sect?" Qin Chen raised an eyebrow at this revelation.
"Precisely!"
The mention of Li Jiayue brought a touch of pride to Li Junyuâs face.
That was the pride of the Li Family.
"Entering a Legendary Force is indeed extremely difficult."
"However, if my cousin has strong connections, and if Young Master Qinâs talent is impressive, she might be able to help Young Master Qin enter a Legendary Force for training."
Li Junyu evidently believed that Qin Chen was highly interested in joining a Legendary Force for training.
"Alright, I will accompany you," Qin Chen replied.
Lack of awareness on Qin Chenâs part was that Dao Xiaoyao and Huaa Ruoran were in the Butterfly Flower Divine Sect.
If Li Jiayue also belonged to the Butterfly Flower Divine Sect, he could inquire about the recent affairs of Dao Xiaoyao and Huaa Ruoran from her.
After all, since the end of the Peak Battle, some time had passed.
Moreover, although Li Junyu initially intended to kill him, it was due to special circumstances.
He had inherited the medical teachings of the Medical Saint to save all those who could be saved.
It was naturally impossible to turn a blind eye and let Li Rou perish.
"Alright."
Seeing Qin Chen nod, Li Junyu nodded in return.
Then he led Qin Chen towards the Li Mansion.
"Truly fortunate, for the opportunity that so many people seek is simply unattainable, to have the heir of the Medical Saint personally intervene."
Watching Li Junyu leading Qin Chen towards the Li Mansion, Shi Tian couldnât help but shake his head in admiration.
The Li Mansion.
Although night had fallen,
due to Li Rouâs severe illness, there was no sign of rest in the entire Li Family.
The lights were bright.
Leading Qin Chen, Li Junyu arrived at Li Rouâs chamber.
Seeing Li Junyu enter with a young man,
Li Xincheng and Li Jiayan were both taken aback.
"Jun Yu, who is this?"
Li Xincheng frowned slightly, looking at Li Junyu with a puzzled expression.
"This is Doctor Qin, whom I invited to treat Little Rou," Li Junyu said.
"I asked you to request Master Shitian to refine the Warm Sun Pill, and instead you brought back a Physician Apprentice?"
Li Jiayan looked at Li Junyu with an unhappy expression.
