Chapter 674: Three Conditions!

Yan Aohan glanced at Yu Qingyun, a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes. He regretted bringing him along; the moment Yu Qingyun arrived, he started thinking about his own benefits. "By the way, how are your preparations coming along?"

Zhu Yanyi knew what Yan Aohan meant by "preparations"—the two days and nights he had spent working tirelessly. She gave him a reassuring look. "It’s all set." She turned around. "Follow me in."

Yan Aohan and Yu Qingyun exchanged a glance, then followed Zhu Yanyi into her pharmacy room.

Zhu Yanyi had them sit down. First, she took out a tea set and brewed them some tea. Then, she retrieved a jade box from a single-door refrigerator. The box had no carvings; its surface was perfectly smooth. However, anyone with an eye for quality could tell the jade was far superior to ordinary stone.

"Junior Sister," Yu Qingyun said seriously, "you used top-grade mutton-fat jade for this box. The contents must be extremely precious."

Zhu Yanyi smiled and slowly opened the box. Inside lay a tongue. No, it was a simulated tongue. The pink coating made it look incredibly realistic, even the blood vessels at the root appearing just like the real thing.

"Is this for Zhang Haitao?" Yan Aohan asked, looking at Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "I crafted this quick-made simulated tongue using the materials you gave me. I used thousand-year cold iron for the blood vessels. The cold iron’s chill freezes the original root vessels, allowing them to connect. The main components are powder refined from melted gold and purple gold, mixed with century-old latex. This creates the tongue, which could also serve as artificial meat. Once the blood vessels are connected, it functions like a real tongue, requiring human blood to circulate."

"So, you’re certain Zhang Haitao can be cured?" Yan Aohan asked seriously. As expected, when it came to medical issues, Zhu Yanyi always found a solution.

Zhu Yanyi glanced at Yan Aohan. "I don’t particularly want to cure her, but you didn’t give me the choice. Besides, I won’t allow my medical career to have a patient I couldn’t heal. But this is a one-time exception. If similar cases arise in the future, don’t come to me. Making this took a lot of my energy."

Yan Aohan chuckled lightly. "I can’t guarantee that. There are all kinds of patients. Who knows if another Zhang Haitao won’t appear?"

"Pah, pah! Bad luck! If another case like this comes up, you’ll have to make the tongues yourselves," Zhu Yanyi said, glaring at Yan Aohan. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to make them. Her spiritual ability was Wood, lacking Fire elements. To refine this, she had to rely on external fire. It was exhausting, time-consuming, and difficult. Only she knew the hardship involved.

Yu Qingyun stared at the tongue, his eyes burning with excitement. "Junior Sister, when is the surgery? I’ll be your assistant."

"You’re already here to be the assistant," Yan Aohan said, glancing at Yu Qingyun. "If you weren’t going to assist, why would I have kidnapped you here for fun?"

Yu Qingyun looked at Yan Aohan and said, "I know I’m here to assist, but I can’t wait. I want to see Junior Sister turn something worthless into something miraculous."
