Chapter 544: 538: Ghost Emperor's Talent

In order to successfully obtain the Bone Flower, the City Lord’s Mansion specially invited the Tower Master of the Silver-Abyssal City External Alchemy Tower to the banquet this time.

Tower Master Ignis Wire was a middle-aged man with a handsome face, faint crow’s feet at the corners of his eyes, and gray hair on his temples. He also had a touch of duskiness to his aura.

He was very satisfied with this transaction.

Although the Bone Flower was his favorite elixir, when compared with precious lifespan, he could still distinguish which was more important. This made Ignis Wire look at Chen Wei with increasing admiration.

After all, at that time, he would also get a share of the longevity elixirs refined by Chen Wei.

Even though a single Longevity Elixir would not be enough for him to extend his life by a hundred years like the City Lord, it could still provide him with several decades of extra life.

If he could make further progress within those decades and advance to the King-level physician, he might even be transferred to the Night County and become the deputy tower master of the External Alchemy Tower. Perhaps even obtaining a Ghost Emperor Elixir breakthrough and achieving a lifespan of four hundred years.

Therefore, when Clive Brown tried to embarrass Chen Wei at the banquet, Ignis Wire’s eyes narrowed.

Since the founding of the Umbral Kingdom, Blood Transformation Disease has been an unsolvable medical problem in the hearts of many physicians, an incurable terminal illness.

This terminal illness is hidden within the blood, and even Imperial Healers can only delay the onset of Blood Transformation Disease, causing patients to become ordinary Ghosts and live a short life—they cannot achieve a complete cure.

In Ignis Wire’s eyes, Clive Brown asking Chen Wei to try his hand at treating this terminal illness was simply absurd!

“Blood Transformation Disease has no cure, General Brown, please grieve and move on,” Ignis Wire publicly advised.

Not to offend, but in today’s world, the only physicians who can cure Blood Transformation Disease are those in legends who have reached the Venerable Healer level. Chen Wei is not even a King-level physician yet, so how could he possibly cure it?

Upon hearing this, Clive Brown trembled.

He wasn’t unaware of Ignis Wire’s meaning, but what if Chen Wei could do it?

At this moment, Martin Houston and Harrison Houston looked at each other, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

If Clive Brown could be so humble, perhaps Doctor Chen Wei truly has the ability to cure Blood Transformation Disease as he claimed in public!

If this were true, the Houston family would have to change their approach to Chen Wei!

Seeing everyone’s attention focused on him due to Clive Brown’s actions, Chen Wei pretended to sigh with difficulty.

To be honest, even he was a bit surprised at the development of events. When he wanted to make a name for himself, an excellent opportunity presented itself before him.

Hearing Chen Wei’s sigh, Clive Brown’s eyes changed slightly.

“So it’s impossible?”

He exhaled a turbid breath, forced a smile, and said, “I have troubled Sir.”

With that, he turned around reluctantly and prepared to leave.

Chen Wei: “Wait.”

Looking at Clive Brown, who turned around with hope in his eyes and feeling the gazes of everyone around him, Chen Wei asked softly.

“May I ask how many times the General’s granddaughter has relapsed? If she has had fewer than ten relapses, I have confidence in curing her. If it’s more than ten times, nothing can be done.”

Chen Wei’s confident words shocked Ignis Wire, even making him doubt whether there was a problem with his ears.

In the end, he still did not believe that Chen Wei could cure this terminal illness that had persisted for ten thousand years.

As soon as Chen Wei’s words came out, the guests at the banquet showed astonishment on their faces.

Blood Transformation Disease had plagued Umbral for ten thousand years, and countless Ghosts had died from it over the years.

In terms of casualties, it was actually even more severe than the damage caused by the Emperor City’s efforts to fight against Beasts and Demonic Beasts in recent years.

If Doctor Chen Wei can truly cure Blood Transformation Disease and accomplish something that no one else has done before, his name will be revered by countless Ghosts throughout history.

“The world of the Healers is about to change!” Harrison Houston looked at Ignis Wire with disbelief on his face, a bitter smile in his heart.

When Clive Brown heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened.

“Today is the first time my granddaughter has an outbreak of Blood Transformation Disease.”

“Then there is hope.”

Having said that, David Jones turned his head to look at Martin Houston, who was seated at the main table.

“We can always hold another banquet, but the patient can’t wait. Sir, would you allow us all to go together?” Martin Houston smiled.

David Jones nodded slightly, agreeing with Martin Houston’s suggestion, “It’s better to treat the disease early than late. Let’s go.”

Clive Brown pointed to a Crimson Wyvern in the backyard, and urged, “Please come this way, sir.”

…

Following Clive Brown, David Jones entered a fragrant boudoir and saw a woman lying unconscious on the bed, her pretty face pale.

“It turns out to be a familiar face!” David Jones’s heart was stirred.

Seeing the arrival of David Jones and the others, Lily, who had been taking care of the young lady, showed a touch of surprise in her eyes and her whole person relaxed a lot.

It seems that I won’t have to die for the young lady any longer!”

At that moment, David Jones glanced at the woman’s bloodless face and said indifferently, “Although the degree of Blood Transformation Disease outbreak is low and slightly difficult to treat, it’s not challenging to cure. The real issue is what the general is willing to pay.”

Clive Brown and others were slightly startled.

Demanding payment for treatment before the cure was done, it seemed that Doctor Chen Wei was truly confident.

“May I ask how the sir charges?” he asked cautiously.

David Jones glanced at him and laughed, “The general misunderstands my meaning.”

“There are three levels of elixir recipes for curing Blood Transformation Disease; the low-level recipe can restore your granddaughter’s health, but at the cost of losing all her Ghost Force, relegating her to a mortal.”

Clive Brown’s face tightened. If curing the disease required the price of losing all cultivation, his precious granddaughter would probably choose death over treatment.

“What about the mid-level elixir recipe?”

“The mid-level recipe requires the use of Blood Poison Fruit to refine a Blood-Stabilizing Elixir that can calm the blood. After consumption, not only will the Blood Transformation Disease be eliminated, but the path of cultivation will remain unbroken,” David Jones explained.

“Blood Poison Fruit? Isn’t this the highly poisonous substance that kills Ghosts on contact?” Ignis Wire, who had read extensively about herbs, shrank his pupils.

“That’s right, but very few people know that this deadly substance also has a miraculous effect on treating Blood Transformation Disease,” David Jones said with a faint smile.

He was not afraid of revealing the elixir formula since non-Flowery Kingdom people lacking exceptional talent would not be able to use Blood Poison Fruit alone to cure Blood Transformation Disease. Simply using Umbral external alchemy would make the patient die even faster.

“As Blood Poison Fruit, a King-level poison, is not difficult to buy, please use the mid-level recipe to cure my granddaughter.”

Clive Brown breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that David Jones would require some rare elixir, but it turned out to be just the Blood Poison Fruit.

“The general doesn’t want to hear about the high-level elixir recipe?” David Jones asked with interest.

“Please tell me more.”

“In addition to Blood Poison Fruit, adding an Imperial Ice or Imperial Fire Dragon Ball of the Holy Dragon will turn misfortune into good fortune, transforming the ancient bloodline hidden in the Blood Transformation Disease into terrifying potential energy stored in the body. Not only will the patient be cured, but they will also have the ability to become a Ghost Emperor. In the future, even without a Ghost Emperor Elixir, there is a 50% chance of breaking through to become a Ghost Emperor.”

Following David Jones’s words, the breathing in the room became more rapid, including Martin Houston, and everyone’s eyes looking at David Jones became extremely hot.
