When Su Nanzhi saw the stunning face on her phone screen, she was dumbfounded for a moment.
She was very aware of how severe her injuries were, and she still remembered the pain that had almost made her despair just a short while ago.
But now, the scars on her face were gone, and the pain had disappeared as well, leaving only a slight whitish mark, along with a tingling sensation.
"Dad, I’m not dreaming, am I?"
Su Nanzhi’s eyes were brimming with tears of excitement, as she had thought her face was ruined, but unexpectedly, there was a moment of recovery.
Su Wu pointed to the corpses scattered across the floor, then pointed to the scar Su Nanzhi had accidentally scratched off, and said, "If this is a dream, how do you explain all this?"
What puzzled him greatly, though, was how the cuts on Su Nanzhi’s face, which had just been inflicted by Ouyang Mei, had suddenly healed?
Su Wu was someone who liked to get to the bottom of things, and he replayed everything that had just happened in his mind.
Quickly, he latched onto a detail: before Qin Chuan left, he had placed his hand on Su Nanzhi’s face for a good ten seconds.
Right after Qin Chuan had left, Su Nanzhi suddenly said her face felt itchy, and subconsciously scratched it, causing a large piece of dried-up scar tissue to fall off.
At this, his face was full of shock—could it be that Qin Chuan had healed Su Nanzhi’s facial wounds?
However, Qin Chuan had only touched Su Nanzhi’s face for about ten seconds and hadn’t done anything else—how could he be treating her?
But if it wasn’t Qin Chuan who had cured her, how else could all this be explained?
As he was mulling over his confusion, Huang Jin suddenly approached, grinned, and asked, "Brother Su, if I’m not mistaken, you must be puzzled as to why Miss Su’s facial wounds could recover so quickly, right?"
Su Wu nodded eagerly, and Su Nanzhi also looked perplexed.
Huang Jin’s expression grew extremely solemn, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, as he slowly said, "To my knowledge, Mr. Qin is not only an Energizing Skill Grandmaster but also a Divine Doctor with medical skills that rival those of the National Medical Saint Hand!"
"What?"
"How is that possible?"
Both Su Wu and Su Nanzhi, father and daughter, were utterly shocked.
The martial proficiency that Qin Chuan had displayed was already awe-inspiring, and now his medical skills were similarly powerful?
Huang Jin said, "My son..."
At this point, his face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, "Ouyang Mei’s son, Jun Xiang, had gone with strong warriors to cause trouble for Mr. Qin at the National Medical Hall, and as a result, the warriors were killed, and he returned itching all over his body—that’s Mr. Qin’s doing!"
"Moreover, there was a major piece of news yesterday, and if Brother Su had paid attention to yesterday’s headlines in East Sea, he would know about the news of the Black Dragon Commerce Association East Sea Branch Owner Zhu Yeqing’s daughter being treated and saved."
Su Wu was suddenly startled and said, "You mean, Owner Zhu took her daughter to the National Medical Hall for treatment, and Owner Dongfang couldn’t cure her, but in the end, a mysterious young man stepped in and healed Owner Zhu’s daughter?"
Huang Jin nodded, "As far as I know, Mr. Qin was at the National Medical Hall yesterday. Tell me, besides Mr. Qin, who else could that young Divine Doctor be?"
Suddenly remembering something, Su Nanzhi said with a look of surprise, "Just now, when his hand was on my face, my wound stopped hurting immediately!"
Thinking that she had mistaken Qin Chuan for trying to take advantage of her, Su Nanzhi’s gorgeous face immediately blushed with embarrassment, wishing she could crawl into a hole and hide.
Huang Jin’s gaze suddenly fell on the White Porcelain Bottle in Su Nanzhi’s hand, and he said, "Didn’t Mr. Qin leave behind an Elixir before he left? He also said that as long as Miss Su takes it, her injury will completely recover within ten minutes."
"As for whether my guess is correct, won’t it be confirmed after Miss Su takes the Elixir in ten minutes?"
The scar tissue on Su Nanzhi’s face had fallen off, but a faint white mark remained, along with a slight itch.
After hearing Huang Jin’s words, Su Nanzhi was filled with excitement and immediately opened the bottle without a moment’s hesitation.
A rich fragrance wafted out from the porcelain bottle the moment it was opened, even masking the thick scent of blood in the air.
Huang Jin took a deep breath and, with a face full of rapture, said, "Indeed, it is an Elixir! Miss Su, quickly take it, or the medicinal effect will be greatly reduced."
Su Nanzhi finally came to her senses and hurriedly stuffed the elixir into her mouth, her face immediately showing shock.
As soon as the elixir touched her tongue, it melted into a warm current that flowed down her throat.
Su Wu asked anxiously, "Nanzhi, how do you feel?"
Su Nanzhi spoke excitedly, "I feel a warm and comfortable sensation all over my body, and I feel full of strength."
As soon as her words had fallen, under Su Wu’s and Huang Jin’s astonished gazes, her exposed skin began to expel some dark substance, as if spitting out sand.
"Ah!"
Su Nanzhi also noticed this and cried out in fright, "Dad, what’s happening to me? It’s not poison, is it?"
Su Wu said in a panic, "I don’t know either! Nanzhi, do you feel unwell anywhere?"
Su Nanzhi shook her head, her expression almost crying, and said with a sob, "How can there be so much filthy stuff coming out of my skin?"
She was someone who had a bit of a cleanliness obsession and couldn’t stand even a speck of dirt on herself, but now she was sticky all over, with dirt emerging from her skin, and it was pure torture.
Su Wu urgently looked towards Huang Jin and asked, "Family Head Huang, do you know what’s happening?"
However, Huang Jin didn’t speak; his eyes were fixed on the changes happening to Su Nanzhi’s body, his face was full of excitement.
Su Wu called out again, "Family Head Huang!"
"Hahaha..."
Huang Jin suddenly burst into laughter, excitedly saying, "Brother Su, I was only speculating before, but now I can confirm that Mr. Qin really favored your daughter."
"What?"
Su Wu was confused for a moment and glanced at his daughter before quickly asking again, "Family Head Huang, what exactly is happening to my daughter? Please tell me."
Huang Jin said excitedly, "Brother Su, there’s no need to worry. Your daughter is undergoing a transformation!"
Su Wu was stunned, "A transformation?"
Huang Jin nodded, envyingly saying, "The elixir left by Mr. Qin is a Marrow-Cleansing Pill, which can remove impurities from anyone’s body."
"If ordinary people take it, they can become more perfect, free from diseases, and even extend their lifespan!"
"If martial artists take it, it can make their bodies absorb spiritual energy more easily, thereby advancing their Martial Path Cultivation by leaps and bounds!"
"The richest man in Jiangcheng City, Song Qingshan, twenty years ago, made a name for himself by buying a Marrow-Cleansing Pill at an auction for a sky-high price. Ever since then, his strength surged, almost putting him amongst the top families in East Sea Province City."
Continuing, he looked at Su Wu with a face full of envy and said, "Last year, at Premium Auction’s Yandu headquarters, a Marrow-Cleansing Pill was auctioned as the final item. Brother Su, guess how much that pill sold for?"
After thinking for a while, Su Wu guessed, "Three hundred million?"
For something used as the final auction item at Premium Auction’s headquarters, to Su Wu, three hundred million was the peak.
But Huang Jin just chuckled and shook his head, "Guess again!"
Su Wu was immediately startled and said, "A single pill, it couldn’t possibly have sold for a billion, could it?"
Huang Jin laughed, shaking his head, "Brother Su, why can’t you be a little bolder?"
This time, Su Wu was thoroughly stunned; he was not a person of the Martial Path, so he did not understand the value of elixirs, but when he learned that the auction price of a Marrow-Cleansing Pill had exceeded one billion, he finally became unsettled.
The thought that Su Nanzhi had just swallowed an elixir worth over a billion made his body involuntarily tremble.
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he asked, "Family Head Huang, stop beating around the bush, just tell me directly, what was the final price for that Marrow-Cleansing Pill?"
Huang Jin held up three fingers, "Three billion!"
