Zu An was taken aback, wondering what level of cultivation this guy had. Judging from the boastful tone he was giving, it must be quite high.

But the most important thing now is the problem of her little brother. She struggled to get out of bed and rummaged through the wardrobe for a while. At the very bottom of the various clothes, she found a silk undergarment. She had taken it from Xue'er's room the night she went there.

This little girl caused him such serious injury, he wouldn't mind letting her clothes fall into the hands of this lecherous doctor.

Seeing that he could still get out of bed, the renowned physician Ji couldn't help but exclaim, "Your constitution is truly special. You've suffered such a serious injury, yet you can still move on your own. It seems you've managed to keep the entire Chu family in the dark."

Zuan rolled his eyes. Isn't that obvious? It concerns his happiness for the rest of his life. Even if he can't move, he has to work hard.

"Here, I've brought you the things. Now you can treat me, right?"

Doctor Ji instinctively took it, but was stunned after seeing its contents: "Whose is this?"

"Qin Wanru's." Zu An thought to himself that the person surnamed Ji wasn't stupid either. He had no connection with the Shang Liuyu and Qiu Honglei that she mentioned, so how could he possibly have gotten their personal clothing? It was more likely that Qin Wanru's side.

Dear mother-in-law, I'm sorry, but for the sake of your daughter's happiness for the rest of her life, I'm afraid you'll have to make this difficult.

Doctor Ji looked on with suspicion and asked in surprise, "You didn't just buy something to fool me, did you?"

Zu An felt a pang of unease, but he didn't show it on his face. He forced a smile and said, "Take a look at the material yourself. Are the ones sold outside made with such exquisite craftsmanship and such good materials?"

After examining it carefully, Doctor Ji said, "That's true. The material and workmanship are top-notch, and it is indeed from the Chu family."

The people of Zu'an were dumbfounded. How could this guy tell that this person was from the Chu family? What a pervert! How much did he steal from the Chu family over the years to develop such discerning eyes?

“I’ve done what you asked for. What about you?” Zuan looked at him expectantly, knowing that his little brother’s problem was his biggest concern right now.

Doctor Ji quickly stuffed the undergarment into his robes before saying, "I have found a way to break your seal, but we are still missing a main ingredient."

Zuan was immediately speechless: "Are you kidding me?! I got everything for you, and now you're telling me we're missing one key ingredient?"

Doctor Ji looked embarrassed: "Do you think it's easy to undo the Great Yin-Yang Meridian Severing Hand? I've consulted hundreds of ancient classics and combined them with my years of experience to find a reliable method to make the prescription for the Spirit Root Unsealing Pill. This prescription requires eighty-one precious medicinal herbs. I've already prepared the other eighty for you, but there's still one missing, which I don't have here."

Actually, he exaggerated a bit. Many of those medicines were quite common herbs. The key was his prescription, which perfectly combined these ordinary herbs to create a magical effect.

He hadn't expected this guy to complete the task so quickly, and was caught off guard, which is why he said that. Of course, he didn't lie about the missing main ingredient either.

Spiritual Root Unsealing Pill?

Zu An's eyelids twitched. The name was indeed easy to understand: "What is the main medicine? How much does it cost? I can buy it!" With an IOU for 7.5 million taels and a silver note for 150,000 taels, he was quite wealthy.

But Doctor Ji shook his head: "That thing can't be bought even if you have money."

"What should it be called? I refuse to believe that money can't make the devil work." The other party's slow and hesitant speech made Zu An anxious and restless.

"This medicine is called the Illusory Lotus of No Trace. Legend has it that it only blooms once every thousand years. It is said that a single petal can elevate a person to a minor realm. Do you think such a thing can be measured in money?" Doctor Ji looked at the nouveau riche with disdain.

"So amazing?" Zu An was stunned for a moment. A single petal could raise one's cultivation level by a small amount? "This doesn't make sense. The amount of energy required to raise a high-grade cultivation level by a small amount is vastly different from that required to raise a low-grade cultivation level by a small amount, right?"

"That's what makes it so magical," Doctor Ji exclaimed. "It's like a rule, rather than a medicinal effect that we can't understand. No matter how high or low the level, a single petal can raise one's cultivation level by a small amount."

"Of course, the higher the grade of this stuff, the better the effect. Who would be foolish enough to waste it by consuming it at a low grade?" Zuan couldn't help but ask.

"That makes sense, but things in this world are rarely so easy. Many people die before they can reach the later stages of their cultivation, and then this thing just benefits someone else, doesn't it?" Doctor Ji snorted. "This world is quite dangerous. You will encounter many difficulties and enemies during the cultivation process. The most important thing is to focus on the present and improve your strength as soon as possible."

Zuan was stunned. Was the world really that dangerous?

The divine physician Ji continued, "The key is that this plant only blooms for a few hours. If you miss the window, it will wither and lose its magical properties. Therefore, anyone who obtains this plant must eat it immediately and will never save it for the future."

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Zu'an said with a look of disdain. "Where can we get this thing? Is there some kind of all-powerful merchant guild or something?"

He remembered reading novels where there were usually some magical merchant guilds where, as long as you had money, you could get anything you wanted, and they were incredibly powerful and unafraid of being coerced by any force.

“There is such a chamber of commerce,” Doctor Ji nodded first, then shook his head, “but the Illusionary Lotus of No Trace is extremely rare, blooming only once every thousand years. So far, even I have only heard its legends, so there is naturally no chamber of commerce for it.”
