Chapter 358: Chapter 358: I Hurt Him Chapter 358: Chapter 358: I Hurt Him Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang’s complexion turned pale, her gaze at Ya Molian suddenly shifted.
“You’re not suggesting that the ‘Purgatory Ginseng’ grows in Youxiang River, are you?”
“Not exactly in the river, but on the ice above it. However, the root system of the ‘Purgatory Ginseng’ is guarded by the monster fish ‘Phoenix Puppet’ in the river. The moment someone touches the ‘Purgatory Ginseng,’ the ‘Phoenix Puppet’ will break through the ice to bite the person to pieces.”
Merely hearing Ya Molian describe this made her hair stand on end.
“Have you tried to harvest it before?” she asked.
She knew that the poison in Ya Molian’s body also needed the ‘Purgatory Ginseng’ to be stabilized, yet judging by the current outbreak of his poison, he clearly hadn’t consumed any ‘Purgatory Ginseng’.
Obviously, he hadn’t harvested any.
Ya Molian nodded slightly.
“Two years ago, due to the recurrence of my old poison, I went to Youxiang River in hopes of bringing back some ‘Purgatory Ginseng.’ I took ten people with me, yet in the end, only Zhe Jue and Zhen Wu returned with me. Zhe Jue came away unscathed, but Zhen Wu…”
“The man we met last time, was he Zhen Wu?” Lin Caisang asked.
“The last time I saw him, I noticed a faint yin energy emanating from him. He spent too long frozen in the Youxiang River, was injured, and did not get timely treatment. I’m afraid he might not be able to bear offspring in the future.”
She had noticed that day, but since Ya Molian didn’t mention it, she didn’t say anything more about it.
Ya Molian nodded and took a deep breath.
“You can’t say that.”
Lin Caisang shook her head, dismissing his idea.
“Since they chose to follow you, they are willing to do anything for you. Didn’t you say you saved them? As such, if you hadn’t saved them initially, would there even be ‘them’ now?”
While Ya Molian understood this logic, knowing didn’t eliminate the guilt in his heart.
Lin Caisang fixed her gaze on him and sighed softly.
“No, you don’t understand.”
What could he comprehend? He clearly didn’t understand what it meant for her to diagnose a person’s condition.
“Here’s what I propose, in order to alleviate some of the guilt in your heart. After I treat the Elder Princess, I will accompany you to examine Zhen Wu and see if there’s a chance to remedy his condition.”
Upon hearing this, Ya Molian’s eyes lit up in an instant.
“Is there a chance for recovery?” he asked.
Lin Caisang answered with a nod.
“I typically don’t discuss people’s medical conditions casually. Like your poison, I won’t mention it since I can’t cure it at the moment. As for Zhen Wu, his condition hasn’t yet reached a point of no return.”
“What medicine will he need?” he asked.
“How am I supposed to know what medicine is needed without seeing the patient?” Lin Caisang quipped with a laugh.
“The medications prescribed should vary according to the individual. The same illness in different people requires different prescriptions. It’s necessary to see the patient and take their pulse before treating their illness. What do you think I am, a god who can diagnose a patient’s illness with a snap of my fingers?”
Whether other people possess such skills, she didn’t know. Regardless, she certainly didn’t.
“Then I’ll summon him,” Ya Molian said.
At this, Lin Caisang paused in surprise. She hadn’t anticipated Ya Molian would be so impulsive, nevertheless, his sense of guilt toward Zhen Wu was far greater than she had imagined.
