Chapter 344: To Recover Fully, a Price Must Be Paid
Given Ji Chen’s current condition, his right leg is completely ruined. If he wants to stand again, this leg certainly can’t be saved.
However, that applies to others; if he couldn’t solve this, he wouldn’t be known as Medical Sage Wang.
“It’s not that there’s no way, but…” Wang Tiangang hesitated, appearing very troubled.
It seemed he was struggling to make a decision. To completely heal Ji Chen, allowing him to avoid amputation and stand again, he would need to use his secret medicinal pills.
When his master passed on his knowledge, he also entrusted him with all the “Heavenly Fragrance Jade Pills.”
There were a total of seven, which his master had crafted over decades by collecting various rare herbs from all over the Nine Provinces. So far, he had used five, mainly on high-ranking officials and nobles.
This had allowed him to rise rapidly, achieving his current status. With their support, he had also established his own family.
Ji Chen was a War God of the Northern Frontier and he spent most of his time there so he wouldn’t benefit much. After all, his base was in the capital, far from Ji Chen’s.
“If you, Medical Sage Wang, save my life, I, Ji Chen, will repay you with loyalty and dedication whenever needed!” Ji Chen solemnly promised Wang Tiangang.
If he had to spend his life paralyzed in a wheelchair or with a prosthetic limb, it would be worse than death!
“This…” Wang Tiangang’s expression became increasingly hesitant.
“Very well, since I came here today, it means we are fated. I will give you this Heavenly Fragrance Jade Pill.” Wang Tiangang gritted his teeth, took a small square box from his pocket, and handed it to Ji Chen.
He had a good impression of Ji Chen and trusted his character. Helping him now would likely earn him Ji Chen’s help in the future.
“What is this…?” Ji Chen looked at the exquisitely packaged, small square box in his hand and curiously asked Wang Tiangang.
“This contains the secret Heavenly Fragrance Jade Pill of my sect. Once you take it, your leg injury will heal quickly. The bones will gradually regenerate, and within three days, you will fully recover.” Wang Tiangang stroked his beard and said with a smile.
“Is it that miraculous?” Ji Chen was stunned, his expression turning to one of astonishment.
He considered himself well-traveled, but such a miraculous pill was beyond his experience.
To regenerate crushed bones? That sounded too magical!
lIndeed, my master traveled far and wide for decades to create these pills. But consuming this pill will also have some adverse effects on your body.” Wang Tiangang’s expression turned solemn as he continued.
Given Ji Chen’s shattered bones, restoring them without paying a price was impossible.
“What adverse effects?” Ji Chen remained silent for a while before asking.
He wasn’t surprised by Wang Tiangang’s words, knowing that such miraculous healing would come at a cost.
“It will deplete your life force, reducing your lifespan in the process. As for how much your lifespan will be reduced, I cannot say.” Wang Tiangang shook his head. Such a remedy was akin to defying the natural order.
“I see…” Ji Chen fell silent again after hearing Wang Tiangang’s words.
An eerie atmosphere enveloped the room, with no one speaking first.
“It’s okay, I’m willing…” After a long pause, Ji Chen took a deep breath and said seriously.
Even if it would shorten his lifespan, he had to take this pill; he had no other choice. Otherwise, he would never be able to seek revenge against Jiang Che in this lifetime!
Thinking of his humiliation at the Bianhua Villa, kneeling outside the bedroom door while Jiang Che humiliated him, filled him with rage.
He couldn’t let this grudge go unavenged!
