Chapter 414: The Overprotective Brother
Chapter 414: The Sister-Protecting Maniac
More than ten minutes later, Nan Mengyu came out holding a jade bottle two fingers wide, and had Long Zhenghui lower his head and placed the mouth of the bottle under Long Zhenghui’s nose.
As soon as Gu Dongxing took a whiff, he could feel a strong surge of Spiritual Energy emanating from the bottle.
He couldn’t help but exclaim, "Is this—"
Nan Mengyu explained: "This is Spiritual Liquid I refined using Spiritual Medicine.
Just now, when I channeled Spiritual Energy into Elder Long’s body to explore, the energy was devoured as soon as it entered the lungs. It’s clear that the Worm is very fond of Spiritual Energy. I am luring the insect into the bottle."
Sure enough, five minutes later, a flesh-colored worm crawled out of Long Zhenghui’s nose. As the worm lunged for the Spirit Liquid Bottle, Nan Mengyu quickly swapped it with an empty bottle, trapping the worm inside.
Nan Mengyu capped the bottle: "That should do it. After you go back, eat some nutritious food to replenish the lost blood, and you’ll be fine."
"That’s it?" Gu Dongxing was surprised.
Nan Mengyu rolled her eyes at him: "Simple? Do you know how difficult it was to refine this Spiritual Liquid? Not to mention, I used two plants of wood attribute Spiritual Medicine that were five hundred years old.
Furthermore, to activate the medicinal properties and release the Spiritual Energy, I added a plant of hundred-year-old Fire Attribute Spiritual Medicine."
Nan Mengyu had no intention of remaining an unnamed benefactor, so she disclosed all the ingredients she used.
Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked—they were actually using Spiritual Medicine, and even five-hundred-year-old Spiritual Medicine?
They did not believe that Nan Mengyu would lie, as she did not charge based on the materials used but based on the patient’s financial ability. Thus, there was no need for her to deceive.
Upon hearing this, Gu Dongxing realized that Nan Mengyu had made a significant sacrifice again.
Other things he did not know, but he had been an Ancient Martial Cultivator before and had certainly heard of Spiritual Medicine, knowing it to be highly sought after by various factions in the black market.
Moreover, he wasn’t aware of the exact value of the wood attribute Spiritual Medicine aged five-hundred years, but he did know that the Fire Attribute Spiritual Medicine aged a hundred years could sell for over a million yuan in the black market.
After listening to Nan Mengyu’s words, Long Zhenghui realized that he had incurred a huge favor to his son-in-law. However, having saved his life, he felt it was worth it. After all, he was only sixty years old.
He said with a wry smile: "Little Divine Doctor, I don’t have that much money to give you. I’ve collected some things over the years, but they aren’t valuable."
When Nan Mengyu heard his words, her heart was slightly moved.
Actually, the Spiritual Liquid she had prepared had not been depleted. Therefore, she suffered virtually no loss.
However, if it wasn’t for her personal space filled with Spiritual Medicines transported from Medicine Valley, it would be difficult for others to find even one plant of Spiritual Medicine.
But the chance to acquire some collectibles, why would she give up on that?
She hurriedly said: "The wealth I mentioned does not just refer to cash. For example, the collectibles you mentioned—I like them the more vintage they are. It doesn’t matter if they’re valuable or not, I want at least a tenth of them."
Long Zhenghui sighed with relief. If he really had to pay the medicine price, selling all his belongings would not cover it.
Fortunately, this Little Divine Doctor had stated from the start that she only wanted one-tenth of his property. As for those collectibles, if he died, what point would there be in talking about collectibles?
"Alright, I only have a little over three thousand yuan in cash and deposits, I’ll give you one thousand yuan. I do have quite a few other collectibles, and I’ll send them over when I get back."
Nan Mengyu unceremoniously accepted the one thousand yuan he handed over.
The next day, Zhong Zhengwen delivered a box of collectibles. However, the arrival of these collectibles angered one person.
That person was naturally the sister-protecting maniac, Cheng Jiuhe.
