She quickly walked to the bedside, and using the sleeve of her garment as a cover, she focused her thoughts and retrieved an all-purpose antidote pill and a bottle of Spiritual Spring Water from her spatial system.
This space was something she had brought from the modern world when her soul had crossed over. Within it, not only did time stand still, but it also held various rare medicinal herbs she had collected from the modern world, along with an inexhaustible supply of Spiritual Spring Water, known for its miraculous life-restoring properties.
As for the all-purpose antidote pill, it was a priceless treasure, refined over months using countless precious herbs, with each pill worthy of its weight in gold.
When she took out these treasures, Bai Linglong felt a twinge of pain; she had already used one antidote pill to detoxify King Nangong Yan last time, and now here she was again. But thinking of the generous rewards from the mission, she felt it was all worth it.
While rummaging through her supplies, she grumbled to herself, “King Nangong Yan really knows how to cause trouble. I’m almost out of my precious antidote pills because of him. If I don’t gain something substantial this time, I’ll be at a major loss. Once he’s better, I need him to introduce me to some wealthy patients to make up for my losses.”
Bai Linglong looked at An Yi, her expression serious and her tone firm. “To treat him is possible, but the consultation fee will be quite high. Because this antidote pill is something I painstakingly refined, it’s extremely precious and costly, so I will need fifty thousand taels of gold.”
She thought to herself, fifty thousand taels of gold may not be a small amount, but for someone of the King of Zhennan’s status, it should still be manageable. Moreover, this would serve as compensation for her rare medicinal materials.
Upon hearing this, An Yi immediately replied without hesitation, “As long as it can save the lord’s life, even a hundred thousand taels would be acceptable!” His eyes reflected loyalty to the king and a determination to spare no effort.
Hearing this, Bai Linglong’s heart sank, filled with regret. “I should have asked for more… If I had known, I could have aimed higher. Who knows, I might even be able to buy a super big villa and enjoy modern life here in ancient times.”
But now that the words had left her mouth, it was too late to change them, and she could only inwardly lament her miscalculation.
Bai Linglong handed the antidote pill to An Yi, instructing him, “Have your Lord take this antidote pill; he should start to improve.”
She watched as An Yi carefully fed the pill to Nangong Yan, then slowly followed it with the Spiritual Spring Water, silently praying that the antidote would take effect.
At the same time, she hoped that the mission would be completed quickly so she could collect her rewards.
Her eyes remained fixed on Nangong Yan, and she muttered to herself, “This precious antidote pill must work! It can’t fail at such a critical moment; I’m counting on those points and the draw! If I don’t get something good from the draw, I’ll have lost a fortune with this antidote pill.”
Sure enough, not long after, Nangong Yan suddenly expelled a mouthful of black blood, which emitted a pungent odor, clearly indicating that the toxins were being expelled from his body. Following that, his complexion gradually regained some color, and the tightly furrowed brows began to relax.
“Miraculous Doctor, thank you so much! You are truly the savior of our Lord!” An Yi, overwhelmed with emotion, knelt down once again, expressing his gratitude to Bai Linglong profusely.
Bai Linglong waved her hand and replied, “Don’t rush to thank me; he still needs time to recuperate before he can fully recover.”
With a glint of mischief in her eyes, Bai Linglong secretly took out an ancient, small jade bottle from her space. She shook it in front of An Yi, the liquid inside gently swaying, glimmering with an extraordinary light.
“This bottle contains divine water, If your Lord drinks it, his body will recover immediately. Would you like it? This water is priceless, worth fifty thousand taels of gold.” Bai Linglong deliberately lowered her voice, creating an air of mystery.
Upon hearing this, a flicker of hesitation crossed An Yi’s face. Fifty thousand taels of gold was no small amount. But thinking of his lord’s still weak condition, he gritted his teeth and resolutely nodded. “Yes! As long as it can save the lord, no amount of money is too much. Thank you, Miraculous Doctor!”
Bai Linglong felt a surge of delight in her heart. “Ha! This money is coming too easily; I will consider it as my future baby’s milk money.”
