Chapter 1998: The wound was treated Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations “Just, just that?” Patriarch Gu was somewhat in disbelief. Was she telling them to be the Heavenly Pill Tower’s spirit herbs supplier? Having a partnership with the Heavenly Pill Tower was a great thing, not just for them, but also for any family in the spirit herbs business. But, what surprised them more was that it only took her half a day to learn that they were in the medicine business. Thinking of the three 500-year-old spirit herbs he had just taken out, he blushed with shame. Although the three types of spirit herbs were not easy to obtain and were part of their precious collection, it’s not difficult for a medicine supplier like their Gu Family. They only needed time. However, the other party didn’t haggle. Instead, they brought such a partnership opportunity forward. It made him think of himself as a villain. Feng Jiu smiled. “I want the best spirit herbs. But, you can’t give me random ones. Besides your Gu Family, I still have another source of spirit herbs. However, if the business expands, we must not run out of herbs.” Gu Xiangyi listened and nodded. “This is not a problem. I will personally supervise all the spirit herbs for the Heavenly Pill Tower.” “Very good.” She nodded with satisfaction. “Come in with me!” She turned around and walked to another vacant room. Gu Xiangyi followed. When Patriarch Gu was about to follow in, he was stopped. “Patriarch Gu, please wait here!” 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎 When they’re inside, Feng Jiu motioned him to lie down on the bed. While taking out a knife from the space and disinfecting it, she explained. “The rotting flesh on your wound has to be removed first before putting the medicine. Otherwise, the medicine is of no use. The process of removing the carrion from the wound is a bit painful. You have to endure the pain.” “Mm.” Gu Xiangyi replied with a hum. He lay down on the bed and didn’t move until a sharp pain struck. His body tensed up immediately and sweat dripped from his forehead. Leng Hua stood quietly, watching his masked mistress remove the rotting flesh bit by bit until the wound was clean. As all the carrions were removed, a fist-sized hole appeared in the shoulder. Because of the poisonous heat, the bone colour was black. His mistress was holding a sharp knife and scraped the black bone until the black poisonous heat was cleared and then applied a transparent light green ointment to the wound. The cold feeling penetrated into his flesh and blood, making Gu Xianyi exhale lightly. It also helped gradually ease his wound’s stinging pain. The numbing pain disappeared and only the icy cold feeling remained. He felt that his right hand’s fingers that previously numb gradually regained their senses. After cleaning and disinfecting the knife, Feng Jiu put it away and washed her hands. Then, she took off her mask and stood up. “I have finished treating the wound and applied the ointment. This is a plaster to regenerate muscles and relieve pain. After you go home, use it once every morning and evening. It will take about half a month to cure the wound.” “Thank you so much.” He got up and sat down, turned his head aside to look at the medicated wound on his shoulder. “Leng Hua, bandage his wound.” Feng Jiu ordered him and soon walked out of the room.
