Chapter 2386

Zhu Yanyi offered a polite, faint smile. "May I ask who you are?"

"Oh, I am Du Yuansheng, the current head of the Du family. Du Yuanlang is my younger brother." Du Yuansheng looked bold and straightforward.

"Master Du, I have long heard of your name," Zhu Yanyi said gently.

"Immortal Zhu, I am a merchant and a rough man. I just want to ask, how confident are you in treating my brother's injuries?" Du Yuansheng asked.

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Without seeing the patient, I cannot give you any answer." Since she hadn't seen the person, Zhu Yanyi wouldn't foolishly make guarantees.

This was the proper way for a serious doctor to act. Du Yuansheng was not angry; instead, she was pleased. She began to understand why Du Li had invited Zhu Yanyi. Although this immortal didn't say much, her actions showed one thing: she had the ability to inspire confidence. She knew she could save Du Yuanlang.

"Since that is the case, Immortal Zhu, please follow me. I will take you to see my third brother." Du Yuansheng had made up her mind. Without another word, she led Zhu Yanyi away.

Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow slightly. She hadn't expected Du Yuansheng to be so direct. She didn't doubt her ability, nor did she worry about whether she could truly cure Du Yuanlang.

"Master Du, truly a master of the house. You act decisively," Zhu Yanyi praised.

Du Yuansheng led the way. "Immortal Zhu, I understand what you mean. I wouldn't take just anyone to see my third brother. But the truth is, other doctors are already helpless. To be honest, taking you there is like trying a last resort. If he can be cured, that is best. If not, it is within expectations."

Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi felt a bit of goodwill toward Du Yuansheng. Not everyone could speak so directly. For the relatives of patients, such matters were also painful.

Every patient suffers from illness, but the relatives beside them also suffer. In fact, the pressure on relatives is often greater.

Patients lie in bed bearing physical pain. Relatives bear the psychological pressure of whether the patient will recover, and sometimes financial pressure too. Under this double burden, the relatives' stress is often heavier than the patient's. Zhu Yanyi always saw this clearly.

"My third brother lives in the small courtyard ahead." This was a quieter place in the Du family's inner residence. "Since my third brother was ruined, he has lived here and refused to come out."

"She cannot bear it mentally," Zhu Yanyi said, showing understanding.

"No," Du Yuansheng shook his head. "My third brother is worried about bringing us trouble. He prefers to suffer alone rather than come out. So, Immortal Zhu, if you can save my third brother, our whole family will be grateful to you."

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "No need for gratitude. I am a doctor. I make a living by treating patients. Just give me a good reward later."

"Of course," Du Yuansheng nodded seriously. "As long as you can cure my third brother, the reward is no problem at all."

For Du Yuansheng, money was never a shortage for his family.

Although the place was remote, it was tidy and the environment was nice. Zhu Yanyi could confirm that the Du family had not mistreated Du Yuanlang.

Du Yuanlang was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the sky, seemingly feeling the spiritual energy in the air.

"Third Brother," Du Yuansheng called as he entered.

Du Yuanlang turned his head and saw Du Yuansheng. "Big Brother, why are you here?"

"We found an immortal doctor to check on you. I hope she can help you." Du Yuansheng did not hide her purpose.

Du Yuanlang gave a bitter smile but did not avoid the topic. "I am in this state. Who can save me? Unless I can reincarnate." Du Yuanlang said directly. "To be honest, Big Brother, it would be faster if you found someone to let me reincarnate."

"Reincarnation is not convenient. After all, we need to find the Venerable Yanluo. No one knows where the Venerable Yanluo is now. Asking me to arrange reincarnation for you is truly impossible."

Du Yuansheng sighed. He knew that reincarnation would be a good future for his brother, but the problem was that his brother's situation was not easy.

Zhu Yanyi stepped forward and looked at Du Yuanlang. "Third Master, I need to take your pulse."

Du Yuanlang did not refuse. "Do as you please." He held no hope. After so many years, he had seen hundreds of doctors, and none could cure him.

Zhu Yanyi took her pulse, but she used her wood ability to continuously examine Du Yuanlang's body.

Du Yuanlang's body was indeed in bad shape. All his bones had been broken. For a cultivator, this was not a big deal. With some skills, one could achieve a rebirth of flesh and bone. But the most important thing was that Du Yuanlang's dantian had been destroyed.

To cultivate, one must have a dantian. The dantian collects and stores all the true essence cultivated by cultivators. Once the dantian is destroyed, it is like having a funnel in the human body. No matter how much spiritual energy is absorbed, it leaks out. It cannot be stored or circulated within the body.

Zhu Yanyi let go of her hand. "Third Master's bones are all broken. This is easy to fix. The main issue is that Third Master's dantian has been completely destroyed."

"It doesn't matter. I knew this result already," Du Yuanlang said, not disappointed. "Thank you for the trouble, Immortal. My brother will pay the consultation fee."

Zhu Yanyi glanced at Du Yuanlang. "You speak as if it is impossible. For ordinary doctors, destroying the dantian is indeed incurable. But for me, it is not difficult."

Hearing Zhu Yanyi's words, Du Yuansheng, who had been disappointed, lit up with hope. "Immortal Zhu, my third brother still has a chance?"

"Yes. One Jade Immortal Pill will suffice," Zhu Yanyi said.

"Jade Immortal Pill? I have heard of it. But it is said to be a ninth-grade pill, and currently, no one can refine it," Du Yuansheng said.

Zhu Yanyi coughed lightly. "I happen to be a ninth-grade alchemist. So, as long as there are ingredients, I can refine the Jade Immortal Pill."

Du Yuansheng paused, looking at Zhu Yanyi. "Immortal Zhu, aren't you a medical cultivator?"

"I am a medical cultivator, but I also know alchemy. It is not a big deal," Zhu Yanyi said calmly.

Du Yuansheng and Du Yuanlang felt as if they hadn't woken up properly. They knew that in the entire Immortal Realm, ninth-grade alchemists were impossible to find. The highest rank currently was only eighth-grade.
