Chapter 82 Are you sure you are cured?

Song Bufan softly asked the white-haired elder beside him.

"Wang Lao, do you have confidence?"

The elder first nodded, then immediately shook his head, leaving Song Bufan bewildered. Was it possible or not?

I paid a high price to invite you, can't you even speak clearly?

The white-haired elder stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Fellow Daoist Shangguan, I have a Secret Technique that can help repair your esteemed wife's inner core."

"How confident are you?" Shangguan Zhuo asked.

The white-haired elder hesitated, "Sixty percent."

"What about the soul injury?" Shangguan Zhuo asked again.

The white-haired elder shook his head.

"Thank you."

Shangguan Zhuo only replied with two words.

The meaning was obvious, he had refused him.

After all, treatment would require lifting the Secret Technique. If it couldn't be cured, the time the Secret Technique was lifted might cause the critically ill Lan Ying to die.

Even if the Secret Technique was used to Seal it again, the back and forth would make Lan Ying's injuries even more severe.

The white-haired elder only had sixty percent confidence in curing the inner core, and there was no way for the soul injury. In this situation, Shangguan Zhuo would not take the risk.

Shangguan Zhuo did not show a disappointed expression, his expression didn't even change much.

Because he had encountered similar situations many times over the years while seeking medical help for his wife, he had already grown used to it.

There were many methods to repair an inner core, but methods that had absolute certainty of successfully repairing the inner core of a dying person were extremely rare.

At least within the Three Great Dynasties, there was no such method.

However, the most difficult part was restoring Lan Ying's weak soul. So far, no one had even mentioned this aspect.

Lan Ying's injury had already exceeded the understanding of the powerhouses within the Three Great Dynasties.

According to Xu Luo's memory, in his previous life, he also found a method of treatment outside the Three Great Dynasties.

It was just that after all the wandering, there was ultimately no good ending.

The person who cured him in his previous life made Shangguan Zhuo do many bad things, which eventually incurred public wrath, and the couple both perished.

Watching the many powerhouses who stepped forward to examine her shake their heads one after another, although Shangguan Zhuo's face was expressionless, a flicker of disappointment still passed through his eyes.

They had already visited all the major cities within the Three Great Dynasties.

Although this world was vast and the Three Great Dynasties were just a small area within it, where should he go after leaving the Three Great Dynasties? Where could he find someone to cure his wife? Shangguan Zhuo didn't know.

He was lost.

After Xu Luo finished examining, he breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was complicated, he indeed had a method of treatment.

He tugged at Xu Qingzhou beside him and transmitted his voice, "Sixth Uncle, I can cure her. Please tell Shangguan Zhuo."

"Really?" Xu Qingzhou looked at him in surprise. Of course, he believed he could do it, it was just a habitual act.

Xu Luo nodded, "Of course it's true. I found the method of treatment in an ancient book given by my Master."

"Just tell Shangguan Zhuo directly. Have him pretend to leave, and then secretly come to our Xu Family to discuss the details."

[Originally, I thought of having Sixth Uncle announce it publicly, which had pros and cons. After thinking it over, I felt that secret treatment, keeping Shangguan Zhuo's presence at the Xu Family unknown to others, would be better.]

Xu Qingzhou also felt that secret treatment was better. The Xu Family was currently in a phase of rapid development and should lie low as much as possible, not being too conspicuous.

So Xu Qingzhou transmitted his voice to Shangguan Zhuo.

"Senior Shangguan, our Xu Family has a method that can cure your esteemed wife. May we discuss the details at my Xu Family?"

Shangguan Zhuo was startled, thinking he was hallucinating. After all, having traveled throughout the Three Great Dynasties, he had never heard anyone say it so directly.

Xu Qingzhou smiled and looked directly at Shangguan Zhuo.

Only then did Shangguan Zhuo confirm that someone had really transmitted their voice to him. It was this person. He suppressed the excitement in his heart.

"Are you sure it's a complete cure, not just a certain percentage of chance, or only curing one problem?"

Xu Qingzhou replied affirmatively, "Yes, a complete cure. Our Xu Family is only a fourth-rate force. With your strength, why would we deceive you in this matter?"

Shangguan Zhuo really wanted to ask, "That's right, you're only a fourth-rate force, where did you get this method from?"

One should know that even the Imperial Physicians of the Royal Family in the Three Great Dynasties were helpless before.

But Shangguan Zhuo didn't ask. He shouldn't underestimate people just because they were weak. What if they had some fortuitous encounter?

He would go to their home and ask. Could they possibly force him to stay?

Although he hadn't broken through to the Heavenly Palace Realm yet, he believed that even if a Heavenly Palace Realm expert attacked, he could still leave calmly.

"Okay!"

Seeing Shangguan Zhuo agree, Xu Qingzhou and Xu Luo exchanged glances and turned to leave.

Some forces had already left the scene. After all, they couldn't do anything, so why stay here?

After a while longer, more than half of the people had left.

Shangguan Zhuo then regretfully put away the ice coffin, declined the recruitment offer from Yu Shufei, the chief manager of Wanbao Pavilion, and left Lingyue City under everyone's gaze.

"Alas, what a pity. He was clearly a Heavenly Prodigy of his generation, yet he wasted a lot of time because of a woman."

"Yes, if it weren't for trying to save Lan Ying, Shangguan Zhuo would probably have reached the Heavenly Palace Realm, or even stronger, long ago."

"You can't say that. Perhaps it was precisely because of his eagerness to save his wife that Shangguan Zhuo activated his boundless potential and rose rapidly afterward."

Some female cultivators also sighed at Shangguan Zhuo's deep affection, envied Lan Ying, and looked forward to meeting such a devoted and powerful partner themselves one day.

Lu Qingqiu sighed, "This is a true man. When will I meet a partner like this?"

Song Bufan, who was beside her, quickly replied, "Qingqiu, I will work hard!"

Lu Qingqiu chuckled and didn't say much more.

She only wanted the finished product, a powerful partner who loved her.

Lan Ying, on the other hand, had secretly pledged her life to Shangguan Zhuo before he had even risen, and even risked her life to save him.

Simply put, she wanted to be a General's wife, not realizing that the real General's wife had already married him when he was just a small soldier.

After Shangguan Zhuo flew far out of Lingyue City, he concealed his figure and returned to Lingyue City from another direction.

He understood that since Xu Qingzhou said that, it meant he didn't want others to know he went to the Xu Family.

That's why he was so cautious, one could say he was quite cooperative.

It was also right for the patient to cooperate with the doctor.
