The "Qinggeng" Geng Household and the Second Elder's Long-Term Treatment
In response to the Second Elder's words, Kong Wenxuan said directly, "Second Elder, you don't need to worry about the Spirit Stone."
"Ten thousand high-grade Spirit Stone might seem like a lot to the Kong Household right now. However, our Kong Household is constantly growing and becoming stronger. One day, ten thousand high-grade Spirit Stone won't be much to our Kong Household."
"After all, just ten years ago, when our Kong Household was still a servant Lineage of the Du Household, earning a million low-grade Spirit Stone a year like we do now was unimaginable."
"Perhaps, twenty or fifty years from now, ten thousand high-grade Spirit Stone will not be an unimaginable number for our Kong Household."
"Therefore, Second Elder, you don't need to worry about these things. Just focus on getting better and maintaining your spirits and hope."
"For now, let's go and take a look at the 'Qinggeng Medical Clinic' recommended by Master Bi."
The second elder was immediately comforted by his third aunt, Kong Yuyin, and fourth sister Kong Wenjun.
The group then escorted the Second Elder Kong Changlan, towards the "Qinggeng Medical Hall" in another nearby market town.
This "Qinggeng Medical Hall" was recommended by the Bi Household Alchemist at the Bi Household's medicine shop. The clinic was opened by cultivators from the Geng Household Qinggeng, Fifth-Grade True Spirit Lineage in "Qinggeng Commandery," Bifang Commandery City county in "Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture."
The saying goes, "When Qinggeng) emerges, there will be no more epidemics in the world."
The Bloodline Divine Ability of the "Qinggeng" Geng Household are related to healing and expelling plagues. Therefore, the Geng Household's bloodline inheritance is mainly based on spiritual medicine, making them one of the few "spiritual medicine Aristocratic Clan" in the Vermilion Bird Domain of the Southern Region.
Basically, in every prefecture, county, and even city of the seven states of the Vermilion Bird Domain in the Southern Region, as well as in the Vermilion Bird Royal City, there are "Qinggeng" Qinggeng Medical Hall run by cultivators of the Geng Household.
The cultivators of the Geng Household have built a good reputation by treating and saving many bloodline cultivators through the "Qinggeng Medical Hall." In the process of treating and saving people, they also practice "spiritual medicine" and cultivate themselves, thus improving their cultivation level.
Therefore, the Alchemist from the Bi Household recommended the "Qinggeng Medical Hall Qinggeng Medical Hall" to the Kong Household, asking them to go there and have the spiritual physician from the Geng Household carefully examine the Second Elder Kong Changlan's injuries before determining a specific treatment and recovery plan.
The existence of the Geng Household and the "Qinggeng Medical Hall" is quite well-known and is obviously not a secret in Bifang Commandery City. It should be known to cultivators and Lineage who have lived in the county for a while.
However, the Kong Household was completely unaware of this. It was only after the Bi Household Alchemist recommended them that they learned of the existence of "Qinggeng Medical Hall" and the Geng Household spiritual healers.
This also shows that although the Kong Household has now successfully Star Inlaying and developed and established "Peacock County", thus officially stepping onto the stage of Bifang Commandery, they are still far from being a truly old-fashioned "True Spirit Lineage".
Within this county town, they didn't even have their own information network, let alone any network of interests or connections.
In light of this, their decision to buy the "Du Household Manor" and transform it into the "Kong Household Manor," based on advice from others, and to have the Second Elder, along with his fourth sister Kong Wenjun and some of the Lineage's Qi Refinement disciples, remain in the county town to oversee Lineage affairs, business, and the building of their network of connections, was indeed a very correct one.
Otherwise, the Kong Household would be unaware of much useful information and intelligence, and might miss out on some important matters.
The "Qinggeng Medical Hall" is located in "Green Grain Ward", which is quite close to "Pill Flame Ward", where the Bi Household Pill Shop is located. The two places are only one block apart and are neighbors.
Similarly, this also illustrates that the status of "Green Grain Ward" in the county town is basically second only to "Pill Flame Ward". The shops in "Green Grain Ward" are basically all foreigners.
Examples include the "Qinggeng Medical Hall" of the Geng Household in the neighboring "Qinggeng Commandery", shops of the True Spirit Lineage in the other counties under "Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture", and shops of the Zhang family of "Extended Net Moon Deer Prefecture" Fourth-Grade True Spirit Lineage in "Extended Net Moon Deer Zhang Household".
The Kong Household members entered "Green Grain Ward" and quickly found "Qinggeng Medical Hall". The business here was indeed good, and some cultivators could even be seen queuing up, waiting for the spiritual doctors in the medical hall to see them.
The Kong Household's status True Spirit Lineage is of little use here, since the "Qinggeng" Geng Household is Fifth-Grade True Spirit Lineage, even higher than the Bi Household, the landlords of Bifang Commandery. Naturally, they look down on the Kong Household's Ninth-Grade True Spirit Lineage status.
Therefore, after understanding the situation, the Kong Household members could only wait in line as well.
After waiting for nearly an hour, it was finally the turn of the Kong Household.
The person who examined and treated the Second Elder Kong Changlan, was a female cultivator at the Golden Core Stage from the Geng Household. Her skill was indeed very high; she could see the Second Elder's condition at a glance and deduce how she was injured.
After carefully examining the Second Elder's Dantian and Sea of Consciousness for signs of tearing, the other party directly rejected the Seventh Tier spiritual pill "Life Nirvana Pill" recommended by the Bi Household Alchemist.
"While the ' Life Nirvana Pill ' is highly effective, it contains too much fire element power, making it more suitable for cultivators who practice fire, earth, or metal elements."
"Otherwise, although the injuries can be healed, it can easily deplete the cultivator's essence and foundation, and even affect the cultivator's possibility of further advancement in the future."
Upon hearing this, Kong Wenxuan and the others instantly understood what the other party meant. The Second Elder Kong Changlan, cultivated the power of water, so he was not suitable to take the "Life Nirvana Pill".
"Senior, what kind of medicine should my second aunt take to heal her injuries?"
Third Aunt Kong Yuyin immediately inquired.
"The best option to completely heal her injuries is the ' Heaven-Mending Pill,' Seventh Tier pill refined by the Bai Lineage of the Bai Ze Bai Household, Third-Grade True Spirit family in the Central Domain's ' Bai Ze Prefecture.'"
"In addition, the Second-Grade True Spirit -Seventh Tier spirit pill ' Heavenly One Water-Generating Pill ' refined by the ' Black Tortoise ' Wu Household Lineage, Second-Grade True Spirit Lineage in the Azure Dragon Domain of the Northern Region Black Tortoise Domain, and the seventh-tier spirit pill ' Grass Reversion Pill Pill' refined by the ' Azure Dragon ' Ao Household, Seventh Tier True Spirit family in the Qinglong Domain of Eastern Region, can also treat such injuries caused by leakage of the source."
Upon hearing this, Kong Wenxuan and his companions' eyes lit up, and they inquired about the price.
As a result, the prices of the three Seventh Tier pills were basically around 20,000 high-grade Spirit Stone, which was about twice as expensive as the "Life Nirvana Pill" made by the "Seventh Tier Vermilion Bird" Zhu Household.
The reason for such a large price difference is that these three kinds of elixirs all come from other domains, requiring special personnel to purchase them. Transporting them to the Vermilion Bird Domain in the Southern Region is also quite risky, hence the higher price.
The most expensive item is the "Heavenly One Water-Generating Pill" from the "Black Tortoise" Wu Household. Because it is located in the Northern Region, which is the farthest from the Southern Region and the Vermilion Bird Domain, it costs 23,000 high-grade Spirit Stone, or 230 million low-grade Spirit Stone.
The cheapest is the "Grass Reversion Pill" refined by the Ao Household "Azure Dragon" in the Eastern Region, which requires 18,000 high-grade Spirit Stone, or 180 million low-grade Spirit Stone.
The "Heaven-Mending Pill" from the Bai Household of the Central Domain, known as "Bai Ze," requires exactly 20,000 high-grade Spirit Stone, which is equivalent to 200 million low-grade Spirit Stone.
The Geng Household physicians at the "Qinggeng Medical Hall" directly told Kong Wenxuan and the others that the Geng Household had connections to purchase these pills, and if the Kong Household needed them, they could purchase them on their behalf, but a deposit of half of the amount would be required upfront.
"Of course, these pills are a complete cure." Seemingly realizing the Kong Household couldn't afford such expensive pills, the Golden Core cultivator from the Golden Core Geng Household, who was treating the Second Elder, changed the subject, saying, "Besides that, there's also a long-term treatment and recovery plan. Our Geng Household will use our spiritual healing Divine Ability, combined with some mid- Fourth Tier and Fifth Tier pills, for long-term treatment."
"However, I only have a 50% chance of success with this long-term treatment."
"But during the treatment, at least the loss and leakage of her body's essence can be stopped, and she may even regain some of her cultivation potential."
"You must understand, although this patient currently possesses Foundation Establishment cultivation, if her physical essence continues to deplete like this, it will definitely shorten her lifespan. In the end, it's uncertain whether she will even retain half of her three-hundred-year lifespan Foundation Establishment."
Upon hearing this, Kong Wenxuan and the others' expressions changed drastically. They had always hoped that the Second Elder's Foundation Establishment cultivation would grant him a long enough lifespan to wait for the Kong Household to continue growing and earning more Spirit Stone, so that they could purchase pills that could completely heal his injuries.
Unexpectedly, such damage to the very source of life would also shorten one's lifespan!
At that moment, Kong Wenxuan made the immediate decision to have the Second Elder receive long-term treatment at the "Qinggeng Medical Hall." Regardless of whether he could be completely cured, the goal was at least to stop the Second Elder's lifespan from fading away.
