Chapter 868: Chapter 865: He Will Definitely Be Fine_1
Captain Li did not know that Yang Chen and Jiang Caiying had slipped past him so easily.
At the same time, Yang Chen and Jiang Caiying, who had already left the city, breathed a sigh of relief. They followed Du Zhuifeng and successfully left Baiqiong County with him. They then settled down in Feiyun County, which was adjacent to Baiqiong County.
After they found a random place to stay in Feiyun County, Du Zhuifeng couldn’t wait to confront Yang Chen. This was because his son, Du Yunkong, had suffered another attack.
After the attack, Du Yunkong’s face was pale, and he spat out white foam. His pitiful appearance was heartbreaking.
Du Zhuifeng, unable to calm down, held his son and said hurriedly: “Yang Chen, we are in a safe place now, and there is nothing to worry about. Can you tell me the method to save my son now?”
Seeing the miserable condition of Young Master Du, Yang Chen knew that if he didn’t think of a way to solve the problem, Du Zhuifeng would probably turn against him in no time.
Of course, he was not a man who went back on his word. Knowing that Du Zhuifeng was worried, he calmly said, “Senior Du, please calm down and put Young Master Du on the bed.”
Du Zhuifeng knew that the matter was urgent, and he didn’t dare to defy Yang Chen’s words. Quickly, he put his child on the bed, and then anxiously looked at Yang Chen from time to time, then at his son.
Jiang Caiying was the most confused; because, having known Yang Chen for so long, she was unaware that Yang Chen had such skills in curing illnesses as an alchemy maker.
If he indeed had these skills, it would be hard to imagine the extent of his abilities. Not only was he excellent at various magical powers, making tools, alchemy, but he could also perform alchemy maker tasks with great proficiency.
Wasn’t this an all-rounder?
Of course, Jiang Caiying was more concerned about what would happen if Yang Chen could not come up with a cure. If Du Zhuifeng were to get angry, what would the two of them do?
Yet, Yang Chen remained calm and composed. When Young Master Du was lying on the bed, he took out a silver needle with a flick of his hand.

Whoosh.
A weak Myriad Star Fire quickly wrapped around the silver needle.
“Mysterious Flame?” Du Zhuifeng was greatly surprised, not knowing why Yang Chen was using the Mysterious Flame.
With his usual expression, Yang Chen believed that the Mysterious Flame was also an excellent method for healing. Why was it said that the Mysterious Flame was the best thing for alchemists? This was because the Mysterious Flame could help alchemists in many ways, and as an alchemy maker, one could naturally make use of it as well.
The Myriad Star Fire was of a Yin nature; thus, in coordination with alchemy maker methods, it had the best healing effects for diseases with a strong Yang nature or those that had reached a critical stage.
Of course, Yang Chen did not plan to use the Myriad Star Fire alone to cure Young Master Du’s illness. If he did so, it would be too simple. The most critical part was that one had to prescribe the right medicine for the ailment. For Young Master Du’s condition, the Myriad Star Fire served only one purpose.
Yang Chen twisted the silver needle so that it went into Young Master Du’s heart area in conjunction with the Myriad Star Fire.
Suddenly, Young Master Du’s body convulsed twice. Then, he no longer spat out white foam from his mouth, but a large amount of dark blood.
After vomiting for a while, Young Master Du stopped wailing and seemed to have stopped feeling the initial pain. His face also became much better, with a hint of blood returning to his cheeks.
“Is … it cured?” Du Zhuifeng couldn’t bring himself to believe it.
Yang Chen gave a wry smile: “It’s not that easy. I’ve only temporarily suppressed the poison in Young Master Du’s body with my Mysterious Flame. Although it’s just a wisp of Mysterious Flame, it’s powerful enough to keep the poison at bay and prevent Young Master Du from being tormented by the illness. However, this is only a temporary solution and not a long-term one. To truly solve Young Master Du’s problem, we need to treat it from the root.”
“What does Young Friend Yang mean…?” Du Zhuifeng couldn’t help but ask.
Yang Chen spoke in a calm tone: “Actually, it’s quite simple. There is always a way to counteract any poison; you just need to analyze the resistance of various antidotes and create countermeasures. As for Soul Chasing Life-taking Powder, its main target is the soul. If Young Master Du’s condition was discovered in its initial stages, it wouldn’t be so troublesome to treat, and administering some low-grade Soul Calming Pills for a month would basically cure him.”
“Is it that simple?” Du Zhuifeng clenched his teeth, full of regret.
If he had known it was so simple, his son wouldn’t have had to suffer so much. But the key problem was that none of the physicians he had consulted had pointed this out to him. Who had ever mentioned giving his son Soul Calming Pills?
Yang Chen shrugged: “In fact, it’s that simple, but many people just don’t know it. The difficulty in solving these poisons lies in prescribing the right medicine for the ailment. In other words, if you know how, it’s not difficult, but if you don’t, it’s very challenging!”
“So, what should we do for my son now?” Du Zhuifeng asked solemnly.
“At present, Young Master Du’s condition is quite serious, as he’s already in the late stage of the Soul Chasing Life-taking Powder’s spread. The poison has completely spread through his body, which is not the crux of the problem. The key issue is that, City Lord Du, you have tried many foolish methods when seeking medical help, which has worsened the condition,” said Yang Chen with a helpless smile.
He had dealt with many such messes before – issues that were caused by others but had come to him for resolution.
“This…” Du Zhuifeng’s face was full of regret, and he was extremely anxious, “Young Friend Yang, as long as you can save my son, I’ll agree to anything you want!”
Seeing that Du Zhuifeng was offering new conditions, Yang Chen quickly waved his hand: “Senior Du, you’ve misunderstood me. To cure Young Master Du, we need a few herbs. If you can provide these herbs, I can save Young Master Du immediately.”
With that, Yang Chen handed a list of materials he had prepared earlier to Du Zhuifeng.
According to the list, Du Zhuifeng carefully read it and gradually frowned: “Although these materials are not rare, there are a few that I cannot obtain. It’s really hard for me to gather them all. Young Friend Yang, do you have any…?”
Yang Chen rubbed his eyebrows and said with a bitter smile, “The reason I came to you, Senior Du, is that I couldn’t gather these materials myself. Let’s do this: I’ll let Miss Jiang go and purchase these materials from various places, and I’ll stay here. After all, these materials are not rare species. As soon as Miss Jiang gathers them all, it will be time for me to rescue Young Master Du.”
“That’s fine. Miss Jiang, take this list and hurry to collect the materials. We hope you can return quickly,” said Du Zhuifeng, having no doubts since Yang Chen had put it this way.
Jiang Caiying took the list, nodded repeatedly, and then quickly left.
Watching Jiang Caiying leave, Yang Chen said to Du Zhuifeng, “Senior Du, don’t worry. With me here, Young Master Du won’t die.”
