Chapter 36: Four Elements
Chapter 36: Four Elements
Qin Zhen never heard of cold yang illness but Li Mos description of the symptoms was straight to the point.
Qin Zhen reigned in his contempt, cupping his hands, Young friend, to be frank, I am the owner of this house. I am called Qin Zhen, and it was me who asked Menglu to invite you here to request some more water essence.
Li Mo nodded, he already knew Qin Menglu went to get spring water for her grandfather.
The effect of that water essence was so amazing, I took young friend for an expert then and there. Since you could refine it once then you can do it again. For this reason, I have rushed here, to
Li Mo stopped him with a hand, I indeed can refine it again, but it isnt good for you.
Did it work the instant you swallowed it? Didnt your illness relapse even stronger not long after?
Qin Zhen was in a daze, knowing Li Mos assessment was correct.
Does young friend know how to treat my illness? I know my health very well and if I dont cure it, I am afraid I wont even make it past six months. I have looked for famous doctors but they couldnt even alleviate it.
If you can cure me, I will fulfill any request you may have!
Li Mo said, No medicine can cure you, and you only have half a month to live.
Qin Zhens face sank and began coughing. It seems time waits for no man. Ha-ha, I hanged on for seventy years. My glory has passed, and so has my strength, what reason do I have to cling to life?
Qin Zhen gave a wistful smile.
Li Mo said, Old Qin, no medicine doesnt imply no way.
Young friend, theres still hope? Qin Zhen asked with ragged breath.
What letting go, what epiphany? He was just hopeless and in despair, but now he threw all these away, Young friend, save me and I will promise to do anything!
Li Mo asked, Arent you rich?
Qin Zhen laughed, Yes, plenty. If young friend desires money, I will give you 15% of Qin Corporations stocks!
Young friend, it may sound little, but in fact it is all that I have. If you sell the stocks, you will have 2 billion RMB!
Li Mo nodded, Barely enough, but it will have to do.
Does young friend agree?
Li Mo replied, 100 grams of first rate gold sand, half of a first rate red jade, a centennial tortoise shell, and a foot long heart of a centennial tree.
These may be uncommon, but they are without a doubt precious. I can easily procure them, but didnt young friend said that no medicine can cure me?
Did I say these are edible?
Then?
You just need to get them for me.
Qin Zhen hesitated, then, Young friend, please wait for a bit!
Qin Zhen began making phone calls.
In but twenty minutes, all the items Li Mo wanted were brought before him.
Qin Zhens swift reply left Li Mo amazed.
Qin Zhen explained, I have a traditional Chinese doctor for an old friend living in Phoenix District. These are the items I bought from him at a steep price.
Li Mo was at ease and requested for the elderly to stand up as he set the four items on each side.
Qin Zhen was puzzled.
Can this cure me?
Li Mo raised his hand.
Wind!
Woosh~
A gale swept the gold sand into a miniature tornado, spinning in place.
Qin Zhen went slack jawed.
Water!
Water floated out of the stream around the house and entered through the window and into the tortoise shell.
Fire!
The first rate fire jade ignited.
Wood!
The centennial tree heart brought earth around it and started emitting a green glow.
Wind rotated, water flowed, fire burned, earth shifted.
The illness went into your organs, something medicine cant help with. In the mortal world, only this Elemental Array can slowly restore your damaged body.
Qin Zhen stood in the middle, sensing four mild powers entering him. It didnt feel good at all, a whole lot worse in fact.
Using the Elemental Array once a month will cure you in about two years. But you must never cultivate that cultivation method throughout this period.
Qin Zhen gave a shivering nod.
You know where I live.
Li Mo left the study.
Qin Menglu and Qin Shen rushed over.
Your grandfather is receiving his treatment. No one is allowed to enter or it will disturb the process.
Li Mo left.
Qin Menglu and Qin Shen waited three hours outside the study. Each time Qin Menglu was impulsive and wanted to charge in, Qin Shen stopped her.
When Qin Zhen came out, he was in high spirits, unlike a terminally ill patient should be.
Is grandfather better? Qin Menglu was overjoyed but also found it hard to believe.
Master, youre looking much better than before. Like a new man. Didnt I say that writing auspicious breeze was good luck?
Qin Zhen took a deep breath and burst into laughter.
Hed never felt so great in years. Each breath he took before was only for oxygen and felt difficult. Now, his breathing was back to normal after only three hours.
He is no mere expert, but an immortal!
Once he saw Li Mo calling the four elements at will made a believer out of him.
He left?
A long time ago.
Did he say anything?
Nothing.
Only allowed on
En. Qin Zhen returned to his study and soon came out again with a file for Qin Menglu.
What is this?
The deed to this house and a 15% of Qin Corporations stocks.
Qin Menglus eyes bulged out.
Money is a mere worldly possession when you only have one life. If I had more, I wouldve given it to him.
But grandfather
Qin Zhen stopped her, No need to say it. I established the Qin Corporation and no one will say anything if I take some of it. Besides, what is there to fear when my illness is cured?
How much business has the Li, Su and Yang clans stole from us over the past years? I want to exact retribution for every dime!
Menglu, please deliver this file in person.
And Qin Shen, tidy the place up, taking my clothes and sheets as well as my daily necessities. From this moment on, this mansion changed owners!
