He closed his eyes and concealed the look in his eyes. A long illness turned a patient into a physician. Because he couldn’t walk, he liked to study medicine. The young man, though looking a few years younger than him, gave off a different and unusual feeling when he took his pulse.
He felt spirit energy flowed through his veins when the young man’s slim and white fingers were placed on his pulse. However, in an instant, that breath was withdrawn.
“I need to see your legs.” She said, looking at the man in the wheelchair.
Zhuo Junyang was stunned and instinctively looked at his big brother. After seeing him nod, he put away all the books and cosmos sack, then stooped down to roll up his pants to his knees.
Feng Jiu crouched down in front of him to take a look. Unexpectedly, none of his legs atrophied. The legs looked pretty pale as if there’s no blood circulation. She extended her hand to probe and felt that the legs almost had no muscles and tendons.
“How is it? Can they be cured?” The old man couldn’t help asking.
“Of course they can, but, it’s a bit troublesome.”
She answered, then stood up to face Zhuo Junyue. “Although the muscles and tendons in your little brother’s legs are not broken, the condition is similar to one, as it’s a very rare form of soft muscle disease. Those suffering from this disease would seem to have no muscles and tendons in their whole bodies. This is the first time I’ve seen this kind of local dystrophy. But, compared to the one afflicting the whole body, you’re still considered lucky.”
Zhuo Junyang was stupefied and couldn’t react. For the first time in years, someone said he’s lucky. It sounded so novel. Besides, were his legs treatable?
To be honest, perhaps it was because he had seen too many physicians and experienced disappointment again and again. At this time, the words of hope could no longer arouse any hope in him.
Suddenly, he heard his big brother’s determined voice and couldn’t help looking up.
“If she said the legs can be cured, then they can definitely be cured.” Zhuo Junyue looked at his brother and restated, “His medical skills are amazing.”
Zhuo Junyang was surprised. He turned his eyes to the young man dressed in azure. He saw the young man was looking at his big brother with slightly raised eyebrows and a surprised expression as if he had not expected his big brother to say such affirmation.
“Mm, great. Since he says the legs can be cured, they can definitely be cured. I don’t know about the others, but since he dares to say so, there must be a way out.” Sage Hun Yuan stroked his beard. Glancing at Feng Jiu, he asked, “What do you mean by troublesome? Is there a lack of medicine? ”
Seeing that both of them were so sure of her medical skills, Feng Jiu could not help smiling and looked at the old man. “Yes, to cure his legs, there are several herbs that are more crucial and more difficult to find.”
“What kind of herbs? I’ll go find them.” Zhuo Junyue spoke.
Feng Jiu glanced at him and answered slowly. “Five-hundred-years-old Nine Festival Sky Lantern Grass and Thousand Leaves Scaly Flower as well as Blood Deer tendons.”
Hearing something he had never heard of, Zhuo Junyue frowned and remembered in his mind. “I will look for it.”
While sitting in the wheelchair, Zhuo Junyang looked deeply at Feng Jiu after hearing the three herbs. “Any of these three herbs is priceless, not to mention that they are extremely difficult to find.. They may not be available at auctions.”
