"Fire Dragon Grass, and it has to be over a thousand years old. This magical herb grows in the crater of a volcano, nurtured by the scorching heat of fire year-round. If it were younger, it would be easier to find, but one that's a thousand years old is incredibly rare—"
Before the doctor finished speaking, he suddenly saw a beautiful girl in front of him take out a box made of fire crystal glass jade. The box was transparent, and lying inside was a fire dragon grass.
The Fire Dragon Grass is shaped like coral, as red as jade, and translucent. It seems that hot magma is flowing inside. Every hundred years, the Fire Dragon Grass will grow a tumor-like bone node, and the one in front of him has so many... The doctor couldn't count them for a moment, but there were definitely more than ten of them.
"Doctor, is this the fire dragon grass you mentioned?" Xue Huan opened the box so that he could see it more clearly.
As soon as the box was opened, a burst of scorching fire spiritual power emanated, causing the surrounding temperature to rise by several degrees.
"Yes, yes, this is it. Miss, please close the box quickly to prevent the spiritual power from being lost." The doctor said with pain.
For a treasure of this magnitude, any loss of spiritual power would be a huge loss!
The doctor didn't expect that Xue Huan could take out the rare Fire Dragon Grass so easily, but now that he had the Fire Dragon Grass, he could make the antidote.
Xue Huan directly handed him the box and the herbs.
The doctor was surprised. "You don't need that much. Just give me a small piece."
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Which wealthy immortal cultivation family did this girl come from? She just casually took out the thousand-year-old Fire Dragon Grass and treated it so lightly. If he was a little more ruthless, he could take advantage of her ignorance and deliberately steal the whole Fire Dragon Grass...
Don’t think too deeply, as thinking too much will easily lead to unstable spiritual mind.
Xue Huan interrupted and broke off a piece to give it to him, which again caused him to strongly object, "No, no, no, just let me do it. Sigh, with your crude technique, you're going to ruin a good Fire Dragon Grass."
He looked extremely distressed.
Xue Huan hesitated and handed the Fire Dragon Grass to him with confidence.
It was a rare opportunity for a doctor to be able to prepare a magical medicine of the level of Fire Dragon Grass. He no longer had the heart to see patients, so he gave his seat to his only apprentice, asking him to see patients on his behalf while he went inside to make medicine.
The disciple was more calm and considerate. He said to Xue Huan, "There are specially prepared rooms in the back for patients to rest. Can I move this young man there?"
Xue Huan nodded and picked Pei Ji up horizontally. "I can do it. You lead the way."
The disciple was a little surprised to see this, but thinking that she was a cultivator, her strength must be much greater than that of an ordinary woman, so it was not surprising that she could lift up an adult man. However, he had only seen men holding women like this before, and this was the first time he saw a woman holding a man like this.
In fact, Xue Huan was embarrassed after she realized it belatedly after she picked him up. It was because Pei Ji was wearing women's clothes, and his appearance was already handsome, and this outfit blurred his gender, so she subconsciously treated him as a young lady, and used the princess hug method.
I've already picked him up, so I can't put him down and try again, right?
So she pretended to be calm, as if it was a normal thing for her to hold a grown man in her arms. Now it was the apprentice who felt awkward, wondering if she was making a fuss out of nothing.
"If you need anything, you can call me anytime." After bringing Xue Huan to the side room, the apprentice said to her.
"Okay, thank you."
The apprentice nodded and left.
Although the room was simple, with only a few essential furniture such as a table, chairs, bed and cabinets, it was very clean, and the sheets and quilts exuded the fresh fragrance of washed soapberries.
Despite this, Xue Huan still performed a cleaning spell on the entire room before putting Pei Ji on the bed.
She covered him with a blanket, sat down on the edge of the bed, rested one hand on the edge, and looked at him with her chin on her hand.
It was strange. The more he looked at her, the more familiar he felt, as if they had met in a previous life.
No, not only had they met before, but they were also very likely to have a close relationship. Otherwise, why would she feel such a sweet feeling in her heart just by looking at him?
It's not just because he's handsome.
Although she was obsessed with looks, it was only to the extent of admiration. But when she faced him, she knew very clearly that she was attracted to him.
This person, his eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips, looked exactly like her ideal type.
When she came to her senses, Xue Huan found that her hand had actually touched his face, and was carefully tracing his facial features. He was simply a pervert!
She couldn't help but cover her face. Before leaving the valley, she had sneered at love, thinking that she would never give up her long life for love like her mother did. But now that she really met such a person, she found that she was slapped in the face so quickly.
Of course, she and Pei Ji haven't even spoken to each other yet, so it's naturally impossible for her to do the same for him as her mother did, but... who knows what will happen in the future.
"Miss, these are detoxification pills, ten in total. Give this young man one every three days. After a month, the poison in his body will be eliminated. After some subsequent care, his body will be healed. Here is the remaining Fire Dragon Grass, keep it for yourself."
The doctor handed over a medicine bottle and a fire crystal glass jade box.
He looked at the Fire Dragon Grass with reluctance.
Xue Huan had no shortage of Fire Dragon Grass. She had several more in her space, and each one was older than the one she took out. Seeing the doctor's expression that seemed like he was about to say goodbye to life and death, she almost said that she would give him the remaining Fire Dragon Grass.
In the end, it was reason that stopped her.
Although the Fire Dragon Grass is nothing to her, it must be worth a lot of money in the human world. If she gives it away lightly, wouldn't she be made a fool?
It might even cause trouble.
She took the things and asked, "How much is the consultation fee?"
"Fifty spirit stones."
The doctor felt a little guilty when he quoted the price because it was a bit high, but seeing that Xue Huan didn't seem to be short of money, he couldn't help but raise the price a little bit.
In fact, it is not outrageously high. Compared with other doctors, it is already very conscientious.
Even though I thought so, I still felt a little guilty.
However, he soon felt ashamed of his pettiness. What was fifty dollars? Even fifty thousand dollars could be given without blinking an eye!
Xue Huan handed over a purse and said, "Count it."
The doctor took it, opened it, and was dumbfounded.
His hands began to tremble and he could hardly hold his purse.
"What's wrong? Is the quantity wrong?"
Xue Huan was a little confused, wondering if she had counted wrongly. But even if the number was wrong, wasn't his reaction a bit exaggerated?
