At that time, in the Precious Medicine Pavilion.
The two arrived and went straight into the Precious Medicine Pavilion. As the largest medicinal materials store in the country, the Precious Medicine Pavilion housed countless rare medicinal ingredients!
Soon, the two found the Dragon Saliva Purple Jade Grass!
However, there was only one stalk of Dragon Saliva Purple Jade Grass left. Just as Lu Ling'er was about to reach for it, someone else got there first!
The person who took the herb was a tall, beautiful woman in a qipao!
This woman was no ordinary person; she was Luo Xueying, the young lady of the Luo family in Cangyun City!
Seeing that the herb had been taken, Lu Ling'er became anxious, "Excuse me, miss, could you let us have this herb? We really need it!"
When Lu Ling'er spoke, Luo Xueying was taken aback. Then she said, "I'm sorry, I had already reserved this medicine. It's essential for my prescription."
Her refusal made Lu Ling'er even more anxious, and she quickly tugged at Zhou Xuan beside her.
Seeing Ling'er's urgency, Zhou Xuan observed Luo Xueying.
He then looked at the herb in her hand, scanned it, and said, "Could you show me your prescription? I'm also a doctor."
When Zhou Xuan spoke, Luo Xueying was surprised, but upon hearing that he was a doctor, she didn't think much of it.
She handed the prescription directly to Zhou Xuan.
After a quick glance at the prescription, Zhou Xuan immediately said, "This prescription is to treat fire poison, which means the patient has been poisoned by fire."
"However, this prescription is not suitable for resolving fire poison, and it will have side effects, exacerbating the damage caused by the fire poison to the patient."
"If you believe me, stop using this prescription. It's like drinking poison to quench thirst; it won't help the patient at all."
Zhou Xuan's words immediately left Luo Xueying dumbfounded.
"This, this prescription was given by the renowned Doctor Mu himself. Are you saying there's a problem with it?"
Luo Xueying looked at Zhou Xuan in disbelief. Doctor Mu was a highly respected figure in Cangyun, with an impeccable reputation, and his patients had never failed to recover!
Yet, this young man in front of her was openly questioning the prescription given by Doctor Mu.
This guy was either truly skilled or a lunatic! After all, no one had ever questioned Doctor Mu's medical skills!
Seeing her reaction, Zhou Xuan continued, "If you don't believe me, you can take it to the hospital for examination."
"Every time the patient takes this medicine, are they in unbearable pain, only to recover afterward, but then the subsequent attacks become more severe?"
Zhou Xuan described the effects of taking the medicine perfectly, which left Luo Xueying stunned.
What Zhou Xuan said was exactly what her father was experiencing. How could he know so much just by looking at the prescription!
This guy truly understood medicine!
Although Luo Xueying didn't understand the intricacies of medicine, she knew from Zhou Xuan's words that her father's condition was not optimistic!
Luo Xueying hesitated, but Lu Ling'er, who was beside her, could no longer hold back, "Brother Xuan is indeed a doctor, and a divine doctor at that! My grandfather's illness, which even Doctor Mu couldn't cure, was cured by Brother Xuan. We just need this herb you have."
Hearing this, Luo Xueying was greatly alarmed!
The Luo family had risen in the past decade, while the Lu family was an established power. She knew of Lu Ling'er, but Lu Ling'er didn't know her. However, precisely because of this, Luo Xueying knew Lu Ling'er's identity and the condition of the Lu family patriarch.
She never expected that this person could achieve what even Doctor Mu couldn't!
This was a genuine divine doctor!
"Alright! I can give you the herb, but, but you have to come with me and help my father. I am Luo Xueying of the Luo family. As long as you cure him, money is not an issue."
Luo Xueying made her pledge, but Zhou Xuan shook his head and said, "Not now. The elder is still waiting for the herb to be treated. How about this, among these herbs, I will substitute some ingredients. You can take them back for the patient to consume, and it will alleviate the pain from the fire poison."
"Come to the Lu family tomorrow to find me, and I will go help you."
Zhou Xuan said continuously. A mere fire poison was nothing to him.
However, the elder's condition was more important right now. Only after taking the herb would the elder be truly saved.
"Okay, I trust you."
Someone even more powerful than Doctor Mu naturally inspired trust. Moreover, with the Lu family involved, she didn't believe he would deceive her in such a matter.
Having successfully obtained the herb, Lu Ling'er also breathed a sigh of relief.
After exchanging contact information with Luo Xueying, the two quickly left the Precious Medicine Pavilion.
At that time.
The Lu family residence.
With the medicinal materials in hand, Zhou Xuan immediately asked Lu Ling'er to prepare the decoction. After explaining the method, Zhou Xuan returned to his room for a rest.
Once the elder's condition fully recovered, he would be able to learn about some of the events from ten years ago from him!
At the same time, Zhou Xuan was also very curious about how Cangyun City had changed.
As he was thinking, it was already dark outside. The decoction would take a considerable amount of time, and Lu Ling'er was supervising the entire process.
Just as Zhou Xuan was about to lie down and rest, he detected a peculiar aura within the Lu family residence!
As someone who practiced both medicine and martial arts, Zhou Xuan was very sensitive to people's auras, especially those of experts. Their own aura was naturally stronger than that of ordinary people, making them easier to sense.
"How is there another person's aura in the Lu family residence?"
Zhou Xuan was perplexed. The Lu family was a prominent clan, and they had some capable bodyguards. However, the aura that appeared was far stronger than that of the bodyguards!
Moreover, it was entering from the outside, infiltrating the premises!
Given the kindness the Lu family had shown him, and with Lu Ling'er present, Zhou Xuan couldn't just stand by.
He immediately got up, lightly pushed open the window, and the next moment he disappeared into the darkness.
In the backyard of the Lu family residence, a figure darted across and instantly infiltrated the main living room of the Lu family.
It was late at night, and besides the kitchen where the decoction was being prepared, all other areas had already dimmed their lights.
This figure appeared and lingered in the living room for quite some time, as if searching for something.
Just as he was about to leave, he felt a surge of astonishing aura appear behind him!
He looked back and saw another figure had appeared at some point, blocking his path.
"Who dares to intrude upon the Lu family?" Zhou Xuan's voice rang out. The next moment, the previously dark living room was instantly illuminated. In front of him stood a young man looking at Zhou Xuan with utter astonishment.
