Chapter 1251: One Month
"What exactly is my father's condition?"
Lan Xinyi asked nervously, as this was her biggest concern.
"It's very serious."
Su Chen frowned slightly and said:
"Lan Bofu's meridians are severely damaged. I can only help him recover temporarily, which might sustain his life for about a month!"
Lan Minghe's severe damage was in the nine meridians developed at the Meridian Expansion Realm!
Those nine meridians are the foundation of a martial artist. When a martial artist operates their cultivation technique, it allows True Yuan to flow through these nine major meridians and then reach the entire body, ultimately exhibiting its effect!
Su Chen doesn't have experience in treating this aspect, after all, he had never encountered anything related to the Meridian Expansion Realm before.
Fortunately, Su Chen has a high skill level in medicine, and now he understands the meridians very well. Many things he can integrate, so temporarily he can help Lan Minghe recover a little, keeping him relatively stable for a short time.
In fact, Su Chen being able to do that much wasn't easy at all...
"Is there really no way?"
Upon hearing Su Chen say that her father only had a month's lifespan, Lan Xinyi couldn't help but ask, showing a trace of frustration on her face.
"Not exactly, there might still be a way."
Su Chen thought for a moment and said.
"What way?"
Lan Xinyi asked quickly.
"Let me treat Lan Bofu first, I'll talk once he wakes up."
Su Chen said.
Upon hearing Su Chen say this, Lan Xinyi didn't continue asking.
Su Chen saying there might be a way had somewhat ignited a glimmer of hope within her!
...
In the following three days, Su Chen had to spend about half a day each day treating Lan Minghe, and each session naturally consumed a lot of his True Yuan and spirit!
Since he and Lan Xinyi were friends, he did not mind.
In the afternoon three days later, Lan Minghe finally slowly opened his eyes.
"Father, you're finally awake!"
Seeing Lan Minghe awake, Lan Xinyi immediately rushed to him and began crying like a pear blossom bathed in the rain.
"Alright, Xinyi, what's going on?"
Lan Minghe gently patted Lan Xinyi and asked somewhat confused:
"And Mr. Su, why are you here?"
Upon hearing Lan Minghe's question, Lan Xinyi sat up, wiped her tears, and then narrated the series of events to him.
After Lan Xinyi finished speaking, a dim look appeared on Lan Minghe's face.
After a long while, he finally sighed deeply...
Su Chen also understood Lan Minghe's reaction, having such a long-time partner end up in this situation is truly difficult...
"Mr. Su, thank you very much for your righteous help this time, otherwise Xinyi might have..."
After a moment, Lan Minghe looked at Su Chen and said.
His biggest concern was his precious daughter. If anything were to happen to her, he wouldn't be able to die in peace!
Moreover, he knew that if the grand elders succeeded, they definitely wouldn't spare his daughter in the future!
"Lan Bofu, you're being too polite."
Su Chen waved his hand and said:
"But regarding your meridian issue, I can only do so much for now. You have about a month's life left, I'm truly sorry!"
"Mr. Su, your words make me feel embarrassed!"
Lan Minghe quickly said:
"Even like this, I am already immensely grateful, at least I still have some time to arrange a few things!"
To be honest, he found it incredible that someone as young as Su Chen possessed such medical skill!
Of course, he was even more shocked by Su Chen's strength in defeating three elders!
Even for him, achieving that wouldn't be an easy task!
The young man his daughter knew was truly extraordinary!
According to his daughter, he came from the Secular World, which was even more unbelievable!
"Su Chen, didn't you say the other day that there might be a way?"
Lan Xinyi couldn't help but ask.
Upon hearing this, Lan Minghe couldn't help but look over as well, after all, who wouldn't hope to live if possible?!
"Hmm, that's right."
Su Chen nodded:
"I know of an elixir that can repair meridians, but I currently don't have the means to refine it."
"However, rest assured, once I get back, I'll start preparing immediately!"
The elixir Su Chen spoke of was something he had seen in the Elixir Chapter of the Laws Forbidden Tome, and according to its descriptions, it had a significant effect on repairing meridians!
However, he currently didn't even possess an alchemy cauldron, and the materials also needed to be prepared.
He wasn't sure if he could make it in time, considering Lan Minghe's lifespan might only last about a month, so there was significant urgency!
"Mr. Su, you know how to make elixirs?"
Lan Minghe's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief as he asked.
It was known that in the entire Ancient Martial World, alchemists were extremely scarce!
Lan Xinyi was even more shaken, unable to help but think:
Just how many secrets does he hold!
Unbelievable strength, knowledge of formations, medical skills, and now even alchemy!
These skills, if any one of them were present in a person, would already be phenomenal, yet this guy seemingly knows everything!
Saying he wasn't a monster would probably be hard to believe!
"Xinyi, if you keep staring at me, I'll become embarrassed!"
Su Chen said with a smile.
"Who's staring at you!"
Lan Xinyi's pretty face blushed slightly as she retorted, considering her father was still there!
Lan Minghe pretended not to notice and slightly coughed before saying:
"Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Su!"
"Actually, I don't have absolute confidence. If by then..."
Su Chen said apologetically, glancing at Lan Minghe, after all, he had never refined any elixirs, and alchemy is not such a simple task!
He also knew that sometimes failing many times for a long duration doesn't necessarily guarantee success!
Moreover, he wasn't certain about the effect either, so Su Chen didn't dare to promise!
"Mr. Su, no need to say more, I understand!"
Lan Minghe, understanding, spoke freely:
"If it works, that'd be best, if not, it's my fate. Mr. Su, please don't have any burdens."
"Besides, Mr. Su, you've done so much already, I no longer know how to express my gratitude!"
"Xinyi and I are friends, these are things I should do."
Su Chen replied with a smile:
"Rest assured, I will do my utmost!"
Hearing this, Lan Minghe glanced at his daughter, who seemed as if her thoughts were being read and blushed slightly once again.
"Lan Bofu, Xinyi, I'll be leaving now."
A moment later, Su Chen bid farewell to both; he needed to hurry back to prepare for alchemy.
Lan Xinyi saw him off to the open space where the helicopter had previously landed.
Soon, Su Chen piloted the helicopter back towards Yandu...
It wasn't until the middle of the night that he arrived at Yuquan Mountain Villa, parked the helicopter, and went back to his room.
At that time, it was the late night, so he took a shower, changed clothes, and lay down to rest for a while...
