It was hard for Lan Ruxue to believe that her family had been cured in just a few minutes.
It wasn't until her father, husband, and children spoke with her that she gradually came to believe it. She quickly took the prescription from Chen Jiuyang and called for servants to prepare the medicinal bath.
Chen Jiuyang said indifferently, "I'll wait for you in the courtyard after you've handled things, and then we'll discuss what's next."
To obtain the Heavenly Mystery Gu from the Lan family, he had to settle all their affairs. Otherwise, leaving behind karma would not be good for Chen Jiuyang. After stepping into the Venerable realm, he had begun to pay more attention to karma. If he hadn't wanted the physician's license back then, he wouldn't have met Qiu Yihan, Qiu Yihan wouldn't have let him participate in the martial rankings, he wouldn't have walked the path of the Human Emperor, and there wouldn't have been all the subsequent troubles. Karma. Since he wanted to obtain the Heavenly Mystery Gu from the Lan family, he had to settle this karma.
Chen Jiuyang waited alone in the courtyard for a while, and then Lan Ruxue changed her clothes and said, "Thank you, Divine Doctor Chen."
"You're welcome, this is part of our transaction."
Lan Ruxue gritted her teeth and said, "I wonder how strong Divine Doctor Chen is."
"Who taught you to say that?" Chen Jiuyang looked at Lan Ruxue with some surprise. If Lan Ruxue had sought out someone with high combat power from the beginning, why would she still need him, a doctor?
Lan Ruxue's face turned red, resembling a ripe apple, and she said, "My father said it... When the old man knew that Divine Doctor Chen had killed Xiao Hai with a flick of his finger, he knew that my Lan family had found an expert." "Perhaps Divine Doctor Chen has a chance to resolve my Lan family's troubles."
Chen Jiuyang nodded slowly and said, "Resolving troubles like those of your Lan family is not a problem." "Besides that so-called White Stone Sect, are there any other forces coveting your Lan family's assets?"
Lan Ruxue replied, "It's mainly the White Stone Sect; the rest are forces that the True Person Shui Lan has been recruiting."
Chen Jiuyang asked, "If I handle the White Stone Sect, how much trouble can your Lan family resolve?"
Lan Ruxue revealed her cards, "As long as Divine Doctor Chen can resolve the first wave of attacks from the White Stone Sect, my Lan family will call the Six Gates and ask for the intervention of their experts. This way, the White Stone Sect will be hesitant to act against my Lan family." "After this incident, my Lan family will no longer hide the resources under the mountain and hoard them for ourselves. Instead, we will find other major forces to develop them together, and then set aside ten percent for charity. Only then can my Lan family's property and foundation be preserved."
Chen Jiuyang said, "This is a prudent strategy for governing a country. This approach is the most stable. I agree." He could see that Lan Ruxue's father was also unsure of the value of the Heavenly Mystery Gu. This allowed Chen Jiuyang to get a good deal.
A few hours later, Lan Ruxue's father, Lan Cheng, emerged after the medicinal bath. At this time, Lan Ruxue was accompanying Chen Jiuyang for tea.
"I am Lan Cheng, greetings Divine Doctor Chen," Lan Cheng said, cupping his fists towards Chen Jiuyang.
"No need for pleasantries. It's good that you've come out. In a little while, the people from the White Stone Sect will likely come to cause trouble for the Lan family. Your Lan family should notify the Six Gates to make preparations," Chen Jiuyang explained.
Lan Cheng took out an exquisitely packaged rosewood box from his embrace and said, "Divine Doctor Chen, this is the Heavenly Mystery Gu you wanted." "This Heavenly Mystery Gu has always been sealed. If it weren't for the great era's revival and my Lan family members digging up their ancestral graves, we wouldn't have discovered this Heavenly Mystery Gu." "There is very little description of the Heavenly Mystery Gu in the entire Gu tribe. I don't know what its use is."
Chen Jiuyang smiled faintly, naturally not revealing the benefits of the Heavenly Mystery Gu. One Heavenly Mystery Gu was enough to match the resources of the entire Lan family's mountain range. The Heavenly Mystery Gu was the main material for refining the third-grade Spirit Swallowing Pill.
Chen Jiuyang said, "I'm not very clear about its specific uses. It's a material collected for an elder in my clan." He planned to brush it off.
"It seems that Divine Doctor Chen indeed comes from a major clan, otherwise, at such a young age, you wouldn't be able to achieve mastery in medicine while also possessing such formidable strength," Lan Cheng said with a look of "as expected."
Chen Jiuyang smiled without comment.
Lan Ruxue said, "Dad, please sit down and have some tea."
"They're here," Chen Jiuyang said at this moment.
"Boom!!" A convoy of Land Rovers smashed through the gates of the Lan family manor and charged in. Then, dozens of cultivators dressed in Gu tribe attire emerged from the cars, surrounding the Lan family manor and preventing anyone from escaping. Leading them was a middle-aged man with a pockmarked face and a sinister aura. Upon seeing this middle-aged man, Lan Ruxue's face turned pale. Lan Cheng's old face also darkened, "True Person Shui Lan."
True Person Shui Lan stared at Lan Ruxue and Lan Cheng and sneered, "It seems my disciple truly fell into your Lan family's hands, and you were able to cure them. Is this the helper you invited?" His gaze then fell on Chen Jiuyang, "I am True Person Shui Lan of the White Stone Sect. May I know which sect or school young brother belongs to?"
Chen Jiuyang glanced at him and said indifferently, "Stop the nonsense and make your move. I want to see how capable you, a True Person of the Shui Lan Gu tribe, are." This True Person Shui Lan was at most at the Nascent Soul stage, and he was a Gu tribe cultivator. Even if Chen Jiuyang stood there and let him attack, he wouldn't be able to move a single hair on Chen Jiuyang.
"What an arrogant brat! Since you're eager to meet your end, I'll fulfill your wish!" True Person Shui Lan immediately unleashed his Gu techniques, drawing a bone sword from his hand, which actually emitted chilling magical power.
Chen Jiuyang's eyes narrowed, "A four-turn Gu insect that has cultivated magical power. Quite a good item, but in front of me, it's still not enough."
"Boom!" The surging icy sword energy caused Lan Cheng and Lan Ruxue, who were ordinary people, to turn pale with fright. Their hands and feet turned cold, and they felt as if death was imminent. However, this icy sword energy dissipated when it reached three meters in front of Chen Jiuyang.
"How is this possible!" True Person Shui Lan's expression was greatly shocked. Chen Jiuyang's expression remained unfazed, and he said indifferently, "Too weak." Having entered the Venerable realm, he felt that the combat power of Nascent Soul cultivators was as weak as ants.
Chen Jiuyang flicked a finger. In True Person Shui Lan's perception, it was as if the world had turned upside down, and an indescribably terrifying force was attacking him. The spiritual energy in the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to have solidified, preventing him from mobilizing it. An unprecedented sense of mortal terror surged into his heart.
"Boom!!!" A power as vast as the scorching sun then descended upon True Person Shui Lan.
"Crack! Crack!" Dozens of bones in True Person Shui Lan's body instantly fractured. A golden Gu insect above his head protected his life. This was somewhat unexpected for Chen Jiuyang.
"Senior, spare my life! Senior, spare my life!" True Person Shui Lan immediately knelt on the ground, unable to care about the severe pain within his body, and hurriedly begged for mercy. "As long as Senior spares my life, I am willing to tell Senior about the benefits of the ruins and cave dwellings beneath the Lan family!"
