Living with My Nurse Stepmother - Chapter 175: Virgin Blood

With the excruciating pain resolved, the old man immediately regained his composure. Looking at the young doctor his beloved granddaughter had found from who-knows-where, the old man sized Ye Tian up for a moment. "Young man, you're quite good. You're much better than those so-called experts who are all talk and no action. They tormented me for three days and two nights, but they couldn't alleviate my pain even a little bit. I didn't expect that you could stop my pain with just one treatment. You're a promising young man, truly promising!"
Ye Tian didn't dare to be presumptuous and quickly smiled and said, "Grandpa, you flatter me too much. I'm just an ordinary doctor, but I know a bit about various things. You don't have an illness, so of course those doctors can't cure you."
Naland didn't think Ye Tian was ordinary; if he were, he wouldn't have relieved his pain.
"Young man, you don't need to be modest. I'm just telling the truth. Those doctors had no choice but to give me painkillers. They tested me for several days but couldn't find anything. You came here and immediately saw that I was poisoned, not sick. As the saying goes, 'One minute on stage requires ten years of practice off stage.' Without a certain amount of accumulation, I probably couldn't reach your level."
Ye Tian was quite impressed by Naland's sharp thinking. As most elderly people age, their memory declines and their thinking slows down, but Naland's logic was very clear.
Nalan Xiuxiu, watching the old and young praising each other, couldn't stand it anymore. She pouted and asked, "Stop praising each other, Ye Tian. Can you remove the Gu poison from my grandfather's body?" If Ye Tian could pinpoint the location of the Gu worm in the old man's body, he would have a way to force the beneficial insect out of his body, but finding the Gu worm would be very troublesome.
Gu poisoning is a unique technique passed down in Miao territory. The methods of applying Gu poisoning are ever-changing. To remove Gu poisoning, one must first know where the beneficial insects in the old man's body are located before Ye Tian can have a solution. However, the beneficial insects are not fixed; they can travel through the blood vessels to various parts of the human body.
It could be in the upper body or the lower body, or even inside the skull or internal organs. Moreover, the movement of the Gu worm is completely unpredictable, making it harder than climbing to heaven to accurately locate it.
Even more terrifying is that once the Gu worm senses danger, it will begin to devour the victim frantically, causing unbearable pain. If it bites through a major artery, it may cause massive bleeding and lead to hemorrhagic shock.
Ye Tian was lucky; he arrived just in time to find the beneficial insect wriggling inside Old Master Nalan's body, which allowed him to discover in time that he had been poisoned by the Gu. If the Gu worms in the human body do not take effect or move, they are impossible to detect, especially in the early stages when they are very small and cannot be detected even by sophisticated medical instruments. No wonder the doctors had been investigating for several days without any results.
"I have no way to deal with the Gu worms in the old man's body for the time being," Ye Tian said, shaking his head.
Nalan Ruoshui immediately became anxious upon hearing this, looking at Ye Tian with confusion. "Ye Tian, since you were able to find out that my grandfather was poisoned, why can't you solve the problem? Whatever you need, just tell us and we'll find it for you, no matter the cost." Nalan Xiuxiu was raised by her grandfather, and the relationship between the two was something that outsiders couldn't understand. To Nalan Xiuxiu, her grandfather was everything. She didn't want to see her grandfather suffer every day, and her family wasn't short of money. As she said, she was willing to pay any price for anything in this world that could help her grandfather regain his health.
Naland looked at Ye Tian, paused, and said, "Young man, as long as you can cure the poison in my body, money is no problem. Just name your price."
Naland was not a coward who feared death. He was just worried that if he died, his granddaughter would be left without anyone to take care of her. Moreover, he couldn't yet guess who was behind the poisoning, but he was certain that the person who did it wanted him dead. He was determined to find out who hated him so much and who had the audacity to do it. So he hoped that he could get better as soon as possible.
As an experienced man, when Ye Tian said he had no choice, he thought Ye Tian was trying to raise the price. This was human nature. He had lived for decades and seen all kinds of people. Not only did he not blame Ye Tian, he admired his courage. He was the leader of the Northern Hongmen, and this young man dared to raise the price on the spot, which showed that the other party was quite bold.
But the old man's thinking was completely based on his own experience, which he believed could help him see through Ye Tian. In fact, Ye Tian didn't mean that at all. He genuinely hadn't figured out a way to treat the poison. He didn't know much about poison. "Grandpa, you misunderstood. I really didn't mean that. Xiuxiu and I are friends. I will definitely do my best to help if I can, and I will absolutely not take any money from you. But I really haven't figured out a way to treat the poison yet."
Naland and Nalan Xiuxiu looked at Ye Tian with disappointment. They never expected to encounter someone who could discover the poison but couldn't cure it. Their hearts plummeted from heaven to hell.
After a pause, Ye Tian said, "However, don't worry, my master definitely knows more than I do. He knows far more than I do. I'll call him right now and ask him." Hearing Ye Tian's words, Nalande and Nalan Xiuxiu went from hell to heaven, their hearts surging like a volcano.
Nalan Xiuxiu glared at Ye Tian with some dissatisfaction and said reproachfully, "Why didn't you say so earlier? You made me worry to death, Ye Tian. Why don't you have your master come over?"
"He's in the United States, and it's unlikely he'll be able to return to China anytime soon."
Ye Tian was also helpless. His master didn't know who he had made a bet with back then, and he lost the bet. The loser was not allowed to appear in the country for thirty years. Ye Tian's master never kept his promises to Ye Tian, but he always kept that matter in his heart. More than twenty years have passed, but he has never broken that promise.
"Xiuxiu, don't force me. With Ye Tian's medical skills and his master's guidance, I believe he can cure my poison. Ye Tian, don't listen to Xiuxiu's nonsense. You can decide what to do yourself."
Naland said without any airs that although he was the leader of the Northern Hongmen, he was always very easygoing in front of others, and only when he got angry would he show his domineering and ruthless nature.
Ye Tian nodded, picked up the phone, and walked out of the ward. He dialed his master's number and it was quickly answered. The old man's voice, speaking broken English, came through the phone. After a few words, he said into the phone, "You brat, why do you always ruin my plans? Tell me, what trouble have you run into this time?"
"Old man, you start acting recklessly again while I'm not around, don't you? Can you handle those foreign girls? Don't come back to China all skin and bones."
Unlike typical master-disciple relationships, Ye Tian and his master weren't serious; they spoke casually and often teased each other. "Do you know what it means to be old but still vigorous and sharp as ever? You rascal, hurry up and say what you need to say, I'm busy here."
Master Ye Tian was quite displeased that his good time with the beautiful woman had been interrupted.
"Alright, old man, I've really run into a problem this time. You know about the Soul-Devouring Cauldron, right?" Ye Tian didn't know exactly how powerful his master was, but whenever he encountered a difficult problem, he would always get a satisfactory answer from his master whenever he asked for advice. However, as Ye Tian progressed, he asked his master for advice less and less often.
Ye Tian's master's surprised voice immediately came through the phone, "What? The Soul-Devouring Cauldron? Why do you always run into such wicked things? I do know about the Soul-Devouring Cauldron; it's very painful after being poisoned, but it's not difficult to cure."
"Oh, that sounds simple. So how do you treat it?" Ye Tian knew his master had a solution, so he suppressed his joy and asked casually. He was afraid that if he seemed too eager, his master would scold him for not writing.
"Hehe, you little rascal, you're dreaming if you think you can get something for nothing. Same as always, I'll tell you how, you get me twenty catties of Maotai raw liquor and mail it to me."
Ye Tian's master was a connoisseur of fine wine, having tasted countless varieties, but his favorite was still Moutai raw liquor, which he found mellow, fragrant, and potent. Ye Tian knew it wouldn't be that easy. When he heard his master say he wanted twenty jin, he nearly jumped out of his skin in anger. "Twenty jin? Are you trying to rob me? Last time I went to get you five jin, I almost got shot in the butt. You want me to get twenty jin? That's going to kill me!"
"Don't give me that, kid. I taught you myself. I know your skills. You could easily steal twenty kilograms, let alone twenty vats."
Ye Tian's master had great confidence in him. He had witnessed Ye Tian's progress firsthand. Although he often said that Ye Tian was not good enough, Ye Tian was the most talented person he had ever met.
"Five catties, or more, I won't do it," Ye Tian said firmly, unfazed by his master's praise. Maotai original liquor can only be obtained from Maotai's special liquor storage area, which is guarded by the army. It's difficult for ordinary people to even get in, let alone bring anything out.
"Fifteen catties is fine," Master Ye Tian conceded.
Ye Tian thought for a moment and said, "Eight catties at most."
"Ten catties, or else it's over." Master Ye Tian knew his disciple's personality; when he got stubborn, the whole thing might fall through, so he backed down again.
"Okay, deal." Ye Tian originally thought his master would insist on 20 jin, but after bargaining, he only needed 10 jin in the end, and he could even keep some to satisfy his craving.
"To cure the Soul-Devouring Gu, you need a medicinal catalyst," Master Ye Tian said slowly over the phone. "Use the catalyst to lure the beneficial insects inside the body to a specific area, then use the Frost Needle from the Five Elements Needles to freeze them. The rest is self-explanatory, right?" Ye Tian suddenly understood. "I see. Old man, what exactly is that medicinal catalyst?"
"That's the viciousness of this pot; it requires virgin blood. How you get it is up to you. Just don't forget my Moutai liquor; send it to me as soon as possible. This foreign liquor tastes bland," Master Ye muttered a few words before hanging up the phone, seemingly a little embarrassed to continue.
