"Then please go ahead and treat her first, friend!"
Duan Gujin hurriedly sent a voice transmission in secret to ng Wanzhen, telling her to let the middle-aged fatty treat her mother first.
ng Wanzhen promptly responded, knowing all too well that no amount of explanation would be useful.
Previously, she had spent a considerable sum of money, seeking the help of many high-level alchemists, including several Seventh-level Alchemists; yet, in the end, all those alchemists were at their wits' end.
"Don't worry, I am confident that I can wake Auntie up!"
The middle-aged fatty assured ng Wanzhen with an oath.
He appeared arrogant on the surface, but his thoughts were entirely different.
He thought that as long as he could delay the ti, he would be able to make ng Wanzhen submit beneath him.
"Oh, and how much ti would you need?"
ng Wanzhen asked curiously.
"Probably a year or two, or maybe three to four years, it's hard to say!"
The middle-aged fatty looked at ng Wanzhen, a flash of lasciviousness in his eyes that was difficult to detect.
"Brother Duan, what about you?"
ng Wanzhen transmitted her question to Duan Gujin in secret.
"It won't take long at all, just two quarters of an hour! However, when I treat your mother, you will need to support her, and at the sa ti, you must not let anyone else enter the room!"
Duan Gujin replied.
"Okay!"
ng Wanzhen chose to believe Duan Gujin's words.
The middle-aged fatty made a show of treating ng Wanzhen's mother for quite so ti, then let ng Guliang and the others leave because he claid he had to go outside to write an elixir recipe.
After seeing them leave, Duan Gujin finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked ng Wanzhen to post soone to guard the door, to prevent her brother from disturbing them.
In reality, even if her brother made a sudden appearance, it wouldn't be much of a disturbance to him, but it would be a waste of all his previous efforts.
The middle-aged fatty imdiately began writing an elixir recipe for ng Guliang in the main hall, while continually saying that he was very busy and could stay to treat his mother for only a limited amount of ti.
Naturally, ng Guliang tried to appease the middle-aged fatty, wishing he would stay longer to resurrect his mother.
The middle-aged fatty pretended to speak this way purposely, aiming to let ng Guliang and ng Wanzhen understand that this opportunity was rare, and if they missed it, their mother would never wake up again. He wanted to use this fear to make ng Wanzhen submit.
Thinking of the prospect of sleeping with a beauty like ng Wanzhen, he felt a sudden surge of heat in his lower body.
However, just as he was feeling excited, ng Wanzhen's voice ca from outside.
"Brother, co quickly! Mother has awakened; she wants to see you!"
At that mont, ng Wanzhen called out excitedly and anxiously from outside.
"Sister, what did you say? You're not deceiving , are you?"
ng Guliang wore an incredulous look, but then he thought that his sister wouldn't lie.
Therefore, he quickly ran towards the inner courtyard.
"How is this possible?"
The middle-aged man was also in disbelief upon hearing this.
He followed ng Guliang to their mother's courtyard, and when they saw the middle-aged woman genuinely opening her eyes and regaining consciousness, their mouths dropped open, and they were completely dumbstruck, hardly believing their own eyes.
"My gosh! Mother, what happened?"
ng Guliang had believed what the middle-aged fatty had said, really thinking that his mother wouldn't wake up for at least a year or two. But now that his mother had actually woken up so soon, how could he believe it?
"Guliang, I'm fine now, but I really don't know what happened. Why do I feel like I've been asleep for a very long ti?"
The middle-aged woman rubbed her body, feeling uncomfortable all over.
After all, she had been lying in bed for at least five years, without any movent for such a long ti.
"Mother, you don't know, you have been in a coma for at least five years!"
ng Guliang and ng Wanzhen almost burst into tears.
"No way, how could I sleep for that long? Quickly bring a mirror, let see what I look like now! Good heavens, I didn't expect to have aged so much!"
Seeing her reflection in the mirror, the middle-aged woman was almost brought to tears.
"Mother, it's alright now, don't worry, tell us, who did this to you?"
ng Guliang was very anxious; he wanted to know the truth.
"It all started when a group of us went to the Hundred Saints Mountain to search for Spiritual dicine. Unexpectedly, we encountered an attack by the Devil Clan there. The Devil Clan's strength was imnse, and I faced a Female Demon whose sorcery knocked out instantly. What happened after that, I really can't rember clearly!"
The middle-aged woman explained.
"So that's what happened!"
ng Guliang suddenly realized and quickly transmitted a private ssage to ask ng Wanzhen who had awakened their mother.
Upon learning that it was Duan Gujin who had awakened their mother, he quickly bowed in gratitude: "Thank you, esteed senior, for saving my mother's life!"
Duan Gujin hastily replied: "It was just a trivial matter! You are too kind!"
"My friend, could you please tell how you awoke her?"
The middle-aged fatty beca anxious; he had previously sworn to ng Guliang that his mother would need to take dicine for at least one or two years before possibly waking up. Now, Duan Gujin had utterly discredited him, and he did not take it well, so he started to inquire.
Duan Gujin's eyes flashed as he said, "My Master knows so friends from the Heavenly Fox Clan, who taught how to break the Illusion Technique of the Heavenly Fox Clan. Therefore, I was able to easily unlock the shackles within her Divine Soul. To remove that Soul Lock, one needs special techniques, and only those who know them can solve it easily!"
"So that's what it is!"
The middle-aged fatty finally understood, his face turning extrely ugly.
He hated Duan Gujin to death, as it was clear that he had been shown up! How could he ever maintain his reputation now? He believed that the two people around him would certainly regard him as a Seventh-level Alchemist who had exaggerated his abilities or even consider him a fraud!
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, ng Wanzhen would never have believed that a problem that had stumped her for five years could be resolved by Duan Gujin in just a quarter of an hour.
"May I ask who your Master is?"
The middle-aged fatty was imdiately filled with curiosity.
"You don't need to know that. My Master is a master among masters! He is of the King of Pills tier!"
Duan Gujin declared.
"Oh, since Brother ng has received aid from a high-level expert, I shall take my leave!"
Recalling his status as an esteed Seventh-level Alchemist who couldn't compete with a Sixth-level Alchemist, the middle-aged fatty felt he had no face to stay any longer.
He had previously speculated that Duan Gujin must have a high-level expert behind him. Now that he heard the other party's Master was a King of Pills, his face changed dramatically. Knowing that King of Pills represented the highest level among Alchemists, he dared not casually provoke the descendant of a King of Pills.
Cultivating to beco a Sixth-level Alchemist was no easy feat, let alone considering that Duan Gujin seed quite young. Being so young with such high Cultivation indicated that the expert behind him was unfathomable.
Duan Gujin urged ng Wanzhen to take good care of her mother's recovery, then he left with Yan Dapang.
"Brother Duan, you're truly incredible. If only you could have seen how priceless that Seventh-level Alchemist's embarrassed expression was!"
Yan Dapang had already been upset with that Seventh-level Alchemist, thinking his facial expressions were too arrogant.
"A minor character, not worth our concern!"
Duan Gujin replied indifferently.
"Mm!"
Yan Dapang quickly nodded.
