Chapter 181: Chapter 181: The Magical Pill
“Grandfather, you should rest more at your age. Let me take care of the Su Family from now on. Rest assured, I will definitely not tarnish your reputation,” Su Zhan said with confidence.
Su Peiyuan chuckled, “Grandfather knows you have great ambitions. But right now, you’re not yet ready to take on such a responsibility alone. Even I’m at a loss with the current situation in Haidao City.”
Thinking about the increasing number of people falling victim, Su Zhan’s face darkened as well.
“Grandfather, is there really no way to cure this condition? If this continues, heaven knows how many more will die!”
Su Peiyuan paused before saying, “Actually, there is a way.”
“What way?” Su Zhan’s eyes brightened instantly.
Su Peiyuan looked at him and said, “Find the Medicine Queen. Only she might have the means to save these people.”
“The Medicine Queen?” Su Zhan was stunned; he had never heard this name before.
Su Peiyuan nodded, recalling, “I had the fortune of receiving her help more than twenty years ago, but no one knows her true identity. She’s been out of sight for many years, and nobody knows where she is. However, rumors say her last known location was in B City because she auctioned off many potions there and gained a considerable reputation.”
“Grandfather, I will go find her!” Su Zhan said abruptly, “I will try my luck in B City, perhaps I can find her.”
“It’s alright even if you can’t find her, as long as you can find the potions she developed. Because the Pill of Life she developed is a Miracle Cure that can extend one’s life.”
Su Zhan was astonished!
Could there really be such an incredible person in this world?
Yet, Grandfather wouldn’t lie to him, and he believed his words.
So, that Pill of Life must indeed be marvelous.
To witness such a miraculous pill was something he had to do; otherwise, his life would have been lived in vain.
“Grandfather, I’ll head to B City tomorrow to look for clues. Whether I succeed or not, I must go!” Su Zhan said excitedly.
Su Peiyuan did not object, “It is good for you to go; you could broaden your horizons.”
“Alright!” Su Zhan nodded happily and immediately started to pack his luggage, intending to leave for B City first thing in the morning.
Daylight was beginning to break.
After a night of emergency surgery, Liao Hanyan’s condition had finally stabilized somewhat.
But this did not mean she was out of danger.
Her condition remained critical, and she could pass away at any moment.
Bai Lang walked out of the operating room exhausted, and Shang Shi, who had waited all night, immediately asked, “How is it? Did you manage to save her?”
Hearing the voice, Mo Jun snapped awake.
Then she realized she had actually fallen asleep leaning on Hao Yansen.
Mo Jun was astonished; had she really slept against him all night?
And Hao Yansen, it seemed, had maintained that posture the entire night…
Seeming to understand her thoughts, Hao Yansen offered a faint smile before asking Bai Lang, “What’s the situation?”
Bai Lang said helplessly, “She’s not dead yet, but who knows when the Grim Reaper will claim her. Liao Hanyan’s body is too weak, she already had poor health before, and it felt like she wouldn’t live for many more years. Now that she has taken a life-threatening shot, that she’s still alive for now is a miracle.”
“She was ill before this?” Mo Jun was surprised.
“Yes,” Bai Lang nodded, “For some reason, her body is severely depleted. Clearly lacking in vital energy and blood, her organs are failing. If her constitution had been stronger, I would have been confident about saving her. Unfortunately, her body is just too weak…”
“Do you mean to say, there’s no way to save her?” Yun Long asked directly.
