"Ancestor, I've brought someone to see you for your illness."
"Come in," a clear female voice replied, carrying a unique charm.
Lü Yunjie pushed open the door to the main hall. The hall's interior was very simple, without much decoration, only a bed made of millennia-old frost ice.
Sitting on the bed was a cold and beautiful woman, wrapped in a cyan-colored long dress, her pupils carrying a hint of blurriness.
"Ancestor, this is Lin Shu, the Pavilion Master of Langya Pavilion, specially invited to treat your illness."
"Langya Pavilion? What kind of power is that?"
Hearing the ancestor's confusion, cold sweat streamed down Lü Yunjie's head. It would be one thing if others didn't know, but he had already conducted a detailed investigation of Langya Pavilion before attending the auction. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to invite Lin Shu to treat the ancestor. This was a capricious master; not treating the illness was a small matter, but the destruction of the family would be a major one!
Lü Yunjie quickly stepped forward, smiling to smooth things over: "Ancestor, you haven't been in contact with outside forces for a long time. Nowadays, Langya Pavilion can be considered one of the top ten forces in our entire Immortal Realm."
"Pavilion Master Lin, please forgive her. Our ancestor has been here for a long time and is not very clear about what's happening outside."
"Oh, right, let me introduce you. This is our ancestor, Lü Xinxin."
Hearing this name, the corner of Lin Shu's mouth twitched slightly. What a name.
It's just that this name doesn't seem to match the person at all. The name gives people the feeling of a piece of candy that melts in your mouth, but the person in front of him is like a piece of millennia-old frost ice. Putting it in your mouth would probably allow you to experience the Arctic in summer.
Of course, Lin Shu couldn't say these words on the surface. He still needed to be polite: "It's alright, this pavilion isn't a petty person. Next, I'll help your ancestor see what the problem is."
Just as Lin Shu was about to have the system check the cause, he suddenly remembered that he had two Quasi-Immortal Emperors behind him. Saving some money wouldn't be bad.
"Wenxuan, you take a look at her and see what the problem is."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wenxuan immediately stepped forward. As an alchemist, he naturally had some knowledge of treating illnesses. Alchemy is not only about improving cultivation but also a test of medical skills. Medicine and alchemy are two inseparable professions. If an alchemist doesn't know medicine, who knows if the pills they concoct are edible? It's even very likely that they won't even be able to form a pill and will directly explode the furnace.
If a physician doesn't know alchemy, then it's even worse. They can only see other people's symptoms, and then the treatment plan is slow to take effect. Perhaps very few people would become repeat customers. Therefore, the two professions are destined to be inseparable. The biggest difference should be what technology is used to make money.
Lin Wenxuan stepped forward, observing, listening, inquiring, and feeling the pulse. After some investigation, the conclusion he gave surprised Lin Shu slightly.
"Pavilion Master, the external and internal manifestations are very similar to Qi Deviation, but the state they express is completely different."
"Could it be this ice bed?"
Lü Yunjie quickly explained: "The cultivation technique practiced by the ancestor is not the same lineage as our family's ancestral technique. It was the ancestor's opportunity. The most crucial part of it is this bed made of millennia-old frost ice."
"Did Lü Xinxin suffer from Qi Deviation? What is causing her to remain clear-headed?"
After paying the inquiry fee, Lin Shu got the answer he wanted.
Lin Wenxuan's guess was indeed correct. Lü Xinxin did suffer from Qi Deviation. As for why the expressed state was different, and even the cause of the Qi Deviation, it was actually all because of that piece of millennia-old frost ice!
Because the system had already told Lin Shu the origin and function of this piece of millennia-old frost ice.
"Based on my investigation just now, I already know where the problem lies."
Lü Yunjie anxiously asked: "Please tell me, Pavilion Master!"
A glimmer of hope also flashed in Lü Xinxin's eyes. She was originally a favored daughter of heaven, cultivating all the way to the current Emperor Light Immortal King, and had a high chance of stepping into the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm in the future.
If she hadn't been tormented by this illness, it was very likely that she would have already stepped into the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm!
"Because what Lü Xinxin is sitting on at this time is not millennia-old frost ice at all, but ten-thousand-year-old frost ice, and it's ten-thousand-year-old frost ice that has been tampered with."
Lin Wenxuan instantly realized: "No wonder it can suppress the Qi Deviation. Millennia-old frost ice can't achieve this effect at all, but if it's ten-thousand-year-old frost ice, everything can be explained. But what does Pavilion Master mean by tampered with?"
If Lin Shu hadn't learned it from the system, he naturally wouldn't have thought of this point. Who would have thought that such a thing was sealed inside a piece of ten-thousand-year-old frost ice?
"Because a Lustfire Worm is sealed inside this ten-thousand-year-old frost ice."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wenxuan's expression changed drastically: "Could it be the legendary Lustfire Worm that can destroy an entire clan with just one worm?"
Lü Xinxin's expression changed slightly. Although she had never heard of the Lustfire Worm, that didn't hinder her fear.
A worm that can destroy an entire clan, what kind of power is that? It's simply unheard of.
At the thought that this thing was frozen in the ten-thousand-year-old frost ice under her, Lü Xinxin immediately jumped up.
Seeing the ancestor's reaction was so intense, Lü Yunjie quickly asked: "What is the effect of this Lustfire Worm? Can the ancestor be cured if she leaves this ten-thousand-year-old frost ice?"
Lin Shu didn't answer but looked at Lin Wenxuan to the side.
Seeing this, Lin Wenxuan immediately explained: "This Lustfire Worm will stimulate the most primitive desires in people's hearts. Qi Deviation is caused by this. As long as you leave the ten-thousand-year-old ice bed, it can be easily fixed."
Upon hearing this, Lü Xinxin hurriedly asked: "Then is there a way to take out this worm without leaving the ten-thousand-year-old ice bed?"
Seeing that the effect had reached what he wanted, Lin Shu said with some slight difficulty: "If you only take out this worm, it's not impossible, but we're talking about treating the illness."
"As for taking out the worm, that's a separate price."
Lü Xinxin looked at Lü Yunjie with a threatening gaze. How could Lü Yunjie dare to say no? This was his own ancestor.
The family relied on her alone to hold up the sky, which is why the Ruixue family existed.
Lü Yunjie quickly expressed his attitude: "Pavilion Master, please rest assured, as long as you can take out this Lustfire Worm and help our ancestor solve the Qi Deviation, you can choose from the treasure vault, and you can name any price."
Lin Shu nodded, indicating that things were stable, all stable.
It seems that he can earn a lot of energy points this time. Should he draw another Quasi-Immortal Emperor-level ten-draw when he gets back?
