1284 Taste of Ginseng Frui (1/2)

”That's because I'm looking to determine the cause of your illness!” Chen Xiaobei said. ”I may have identified the extreme pathogenic illness in your body but I'm not confident I can dispel it just yet. I'm thinking that I could at least try to relieve its symptoms so that you won't have any attacks anymore!”

”Re… Really?” Wenren Muyue sounded hopeful at the prospect.

She had already accepted the fact that she had only six months left to live, but the idea of being able to live out the rest of her months without the excruciating pain and attacks that wore her down was extremely appealing. The people around her did not have to worry about her, and she could spend what little was left of her life untroubled.

As long as Chen Xiaobei could get the extreme pathogenic cold attacks under control, it was good enough for Wenren Muyue being able to die peacefully. To her this was already a pretty good ending.

”There is a chance,” Chen Xiaobei said. ”I will prescribe you some medicine. Once you've taken it, I'll check your vital energy. There shouldn't be any problems!”

”Alright! Thank you so much, Mr. Chen!” Wenren Muyue smiled.

Qing'er pouted, and was visibly displeased. ”Idol! Your medical skills are supposed to incredible! How can you just suppress the illness, but not just get rid of it completely? Think of a way, please... I beg you!”

”That's because the extreme pathogenic cold that Muyue is suffering from is very strange. Not only are there traces of poison in her system, but also traces of a curse!” Chen Xiaobei explained. ”Curses are divided into 3 types: spiritual curses, shaman curses, and magical curses. For now, I have not been able to accurately identify which one she is affected by. Medicine won't be able to solve any of these curses either. Don't take my suspicions for it, but I'm leaning more towards a magical curse!”

”Magical curse? Why?” Wenren Muyue and Qing'er asked together.

”Because I have a holy item on me. If it is a spiritual curse or a shamanic curse, then it can be broken easily. But since I met Muyue, her condition did not get better! This means that the magical curse that was inflicted on her may not even contain any demonic presence!”

”Huh…” Wenren Muyu and Qing'er did not really understand what Chen Xiaobei was saying.

The Seven Treasury Fragrant Pouch on Chen Xiaobei's chest was holding the Cleansing Bodhi that Duobao Rulai had given to him. This holy item was supposed to make sure the bearer would not be affected by anything that was unclean like poisons and disease!

If Wenren Muyue's sickness was caused by a spirit curse or a shamanic curse, her vital energy should have shown some improvement since she met Chen Xiaobei. But nothing seemed to have changed!

Magical curses originated from Western witchcraft, and were divided into two different kinds. Black magic and white magic.

Chen Xiaobei was still unfamiliar with the arts from the West and that was why he was uncertain, therefore unable to provide an exact method of cure.

The best option available right now was to only apply symptomatic treatment to prevent the attacks from cropping up. When he returned from the Black Desert, he would devote his time to research and hopefully find a way to help change Wenren Muyue's fate.

Chen Xiaobei wrote a prescription on a piece of paper and sent Qing'er to fetch the medicine.

The Wenren family happened to own a huge treasury that was well stocked with herbal medicines, so Chen Xiaobei did not have to worry about that.

When Qing'er returned with the herbs, Chen Xiaobei taught her how to prepare the medicine.

After that, all they had to do was wait for the medicine to be ready.

”Oh, right. How is Uncle Wenren recently? Is he very busy?” Chen Xiaobei brought up the topic casually. His manner may have been breezy but he was actually ready to launch into interrogation mode about Atlantis.

”Yeah! Father had to attend to some intractable problems recently. There was not a day or night he did not spend in the Governor's house for meetings. I haven't heard from him for a few days already!” Wenren Muyue answered.

”Is it about Atlantis?” Chen Xiaobei asked directly.

”Er...” Wenren Muyue looked down and hesitated. She did not really want to talk about it.

”If it's inconvenient to talk about it, just pretend I didn't ask. I heard my friend talking about it, so I curious about it.”

Weren Muyue chewed on her lip. ”Not that it's not convenient. The thing is, this matter doesn't seem like a secret anymore.”
