Why Have You Ended Up Like This?

"Before this, a junior disciple of mine, the Medicine Maniac, spent nearly seven months in the Extreme Cold Region searching for Demon Flame Worms and still couldn't find any. And now we have living ones! Wonderful!"

Several younger members of the Jin Clan clutched their stomachs, looking a little nauseated.

Worms were actually living inside them?

They hurriedly asked, "Senior, do we have them inside us too?"

The Medicine King Sect Master grinned from ear to ear. "Yes. All of you do."

The young Jin Clan members fell silent. "..."

No, was that supposed to be a good thing?

Why was he so happy?

He made it sound as though each of them had found a treasure.

For once, joy broke through the gloom on the Jin Clan Leader's face.

"Can you really cure this illness?"

By then, the Medicine King Sect Master could no longer hear a word anyone said. He muttered to himself.

"This... Nine-Heaven Soulwood, Emerald Dragon Pearl Water, Lionfang Fruit, White Jade Leaf, Dragon Vein Tree Bark... No, Dragon Vein Tree Bark would damage the Meridians. It's too potent..."

The Jin Clan Leader pressed him again. "If you can cure it, what do you want?"

The Medicine King Sect Master continued, "...Actually, Purple Wind Jade fragments could temper the effects of Dragon Vein Tree Bark and offer the body's Meridians some protection. Add Boundless Heavenly Flower, one of the Demon Flame Worm's natural enemies..."

The Jin Clan Leader had nothing to say. "..."

The Nine Nether Gate Master cleared his throat. "He's a medicine maniac. They're all like that in the Medicine King Sect. Once they encounter a difficult case, they become obsessed and won't come to their senses anytime soon. Clan Leader Jin, if you trust our sects, you can visit the Medicine King Sect."
