"I am fairly certain that your friend is cursed, but if you want to be 100 percent certain, then I’d need to see the patient so I can personally examine his condition." Li Shizhen suddenly said.
"Uhh..."
Li Shizhen’s words took Yuan by surprise.
"I-I’m sorry, but that’s impossible," he said a mont later.
"Impossible? Why?" Li Shizhen raised his eyebrows.
"My friend cos from a super secretive and strict family, so getting even close to him is near impossible. Furthermore, he lives in a place that’s very, very far away from this place."
"Oh, and sothing happened to his family recently, so it’s even more difficult to see him now..." Yuan made up so random excuse.
After all, it was not like he could tell Li Shizhen the truth about his situation, as he’d sound crazy.
"Is that so?" Li Shizhen doubted Yuan was telling him the truth, but he didn’t say anything about it, as there must be a reason why Yuan was acting this way.
And he continued, "Well, I don’t really need to see your friend since you told that he’s already recovering, and I have cured many people without even seeing them— only by listening to their condition and symptoms."
"Thank you for understanding. Anyway, if my friend is really cursed... Is there any way to remove this curse?" Yuan then asked.
"Why don’t you just let him drink so of your blood, Young Master?" Feng Yuxiang spoke for the first ti.
Yuan looked at her and sighed, "He’s not like you, Feng Feng. He’s human."
"But that shouldn’t matter. I’m no expert, but your blood clearly has the ability to weaken curses. It shouldn’t have anything to do with being a human or not."
Li Shizhen then said, "Your blood has the ability to weaken curses? I have never heard of this before. How are you so sure his blood has such abilities, Madam Feng?"
Feng Yuxiang then explained to him about her condition, "I drank his blood and the curse on weakened, so I know it works."
"What? Is that true? Your curse weakened?" Li Shizhen looked at her with wide eyes.
"Yes. Why would I lie about this?" Feng Yuxiang nodded.
"Heavens..." Li Shizhen mumbled in a dumbfounded voice.
"Anyways, since your blood has capabilities to weaken curses, as weird as this is going to sound, if you let your friend drink your blood, it could possibly work."
Yuan showed a bittersweet smile on his face.
Does this an he’ll have to drink his own blood? Even though he already has such blood flowing inside his body? This doesn’t make any sense to him.
"I-I understand... But what if that doesn’t work?" Yuan then asked.
"Are there any more natural thods for getting rid of curses?"
"Hmm... I may have so knowledge regarding curses, but I know soone who’s an expert with curses. If you’d like, I can take you to him so you can ask him yourself. He’s not that far away from this place. We can get there in just a few hours."
Yuan pondered for a mont before nodding, "Okay, just give a minute to let the others know."
He then spoke to Xiao Hua through their servant and master connection.
"Xiao Hua, I am going to go et soone with Feng Feng and the Divine Doctor, and we have to leave the city for a while. Let Yu Rou and the others know, okay? I will try to return as soon as possible."
Xiao Hua’s voice resounded a mont later, "Okay, Xiao Hua will let them know."
"Thank you."
"Alright. We can go now." Yuan then said Li Shizhen.
Soti later, they went downstairs.
"Don’t worry, I will return later to give you guys the lecture." Li Shizhen said to the manager of the store before they left.
"We will be fine even if the Divine Doctor cannot lecture us. We know you’re a busy man, after all." The manager said.
"When I, Li Shizhen, say that I will do sothing, I will do it!" He declared in a domineering voice.
The manager and the others in the store had nothing else to say after hearing such words, so they could only lower their heads and bow to him.
Once Li Shizhen left the store, the manager said to the others, "We’re not going ho until he returns even if it takes days!"
"Yes!" The others responded with anticipation in their voice.
anwhile, after leaving the dicine store, Yuan followed Feng Feng and Li Shizhen to another city that had a teleport formation.
During their trip, Yuan asked Li Shizhen, "If I heard correctly, you ntioned sothing about natural curses before. What did you an by that? Can curses even occur naturally?"
Li Shizhen nodded and said, "I think it’d be better if the expert explained it, but yes, curses can occur naturally just like how treasures can be born naturally. However, they’re considered a phenonon— sothing akin to natural disasters. Of course, natural curses are incredibly rare and will only occur when certain conditions are t."
"I see..." Yuan nodded.
Soti later, they entered a teleport device and teleported tens of thousands of miles in an instant.
After that, they used the teleport device again to teleport even further, as each teleport can only travel a limited distance.
They continued this six tis before they finally stopped.
"Welco to the Northern Continent, Young Master." Feng Yuxiang said to him with a smile on her face.
"The Northern Continent, huh? Now I only need to step onto the Southern Continent and the Western Continent so that I can say I’d explore the entire Lower Heavens," he said in a joking tone.
"Follow . He lives in a secluded area deep inside the mountain valleys, so teleporting there is impossible." Li Shizhen said to them a mont later.
Yuan nodded, and they continued their journey to et this expert on curses.
’An expert on curses, huh? I wonder what kind of person he’s like...’ Yuan wondered to himself as they soared into the sky.
Author’s Note: I had intended to release these chapters sooner, but Hurricane Ida happened and delayed everything due to no power or internet. I am okay and will return to writing daily now.
