Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2341 - 2297: Dragon Beard Fruit

"Prince, I think that person today is nothing but a fame-seeker, fundamentally without any real skills, and there’s absolutely no need to worry," Vice Minister Chen was the first to speak.

The Python King stood above the grand hall, remaining silent.

"Hahaha, even if he is a fame-seeker, the most ridiculous part is that the Crown Prince actually believes him, truly making a fool of himself," someone recalled what had just happened, unable to hold back their laughter.

One person laughed, naturally causing others to laugh along.

In their eyes, Chen Yang was nothing more than a useless figure.

As for Prince Jing Kang?

Even more foolish.

At this moment, they were more resolutely determined to side with the Python King.

"So you mean to let him treat the Imperial Brother," the Python King finally spoke after listening to everyone.

"Prince, that’s exactly what we mean, he should indeed treat the Emperor," the Prime Minister stepped forward to affirm their stance.

In fact, this was also what the Python King thought, but he had some concerns, which is why he gathered them again to discuss.

Since everyone agreed, he decided not to think further.

"Alright, let them handle the treatment then."

...

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

After leaving Taihe Hall, Prince Jing Kang quickly returned to the Eastern Palace with Chen Yang and Qin Qingfeng.

"Brother Chen Yang, you saw the Emperor today, how is His Majesty’s condition? How confident are you in treating him?"

Entering the safety of the Eastern Palace, Jing Kang immediately asked with great concern.

His remarks in the grand hall earlier were somewhat exaggerated.

It was a strategy designed to paint Chen Yang as ostentatious.

Thus lowering the Python King’s guard.

Now that they had returned, they could speak truthfully.

"Jing Kang, I’ll speak plainly."

"The Emperor’s condition is very bleak, it could even be said to have reached a critical state."

"Without treatment, in five days, his veins will inevitably rupture."

Chen Yang stated.

"What!!!" Jing Kang was shocked.

Qin Qingfeng’s face also turned grim.

This was evidently something Qin Qingfeng hadn’t expected.

"Young friend, how confident are you in treating him?" Qin Qingfeng asked again.

"Hmm..." Chen Yang pondered carefully, then replied, "About fifty percent."

"If the condition hadn’t deteriorated to this extent, I might have been eighty percent confident, but now it’s at most fifty percent."

Chen Yang sighed, feeling quite helpless.

This was probably the lowest confidence rate in his medical career.

For treating common ailments, it would be over ninety percent, if not one hundred percent.

A fifty-percent chance was already low for him.

Yet to Jing Kang and Qin Qingfeng, it was startling.

They had originally thought that with the Emperor’s condition so deteriorated, even a ten or twenty percent chance would have been good.

But to their surprise, there was still a fifty-percent chance, which was quite unexpected.

"Fifty percent? That’s quite enough!" Jing Kang exclaimed in excitement.

"However, Crown Prince, there’s an important prerequisite you must not forget, I’m still missing three medicinal herbs right now."

"The Emperor’s condition can hold out for at most five days, which means excluding the time to refine the elixir, the latest these three herbs must be gathered in two and a half days."

"Otherwise, the Emperor has no chance at all."

Chen Yang reminded.

Upon hearing this, Jing Kang remembered this crucial point.

"Right, you’re correct, I’ll immediately check the national treasury to see if there are any herbs you need." Jing Kang replied urgently and left the Eastern Palace right away to search for the herbs.

"Brother Chen Yang, if the treasury lacks the herbs, what should we do?" Tu Qi, ever since entering the Capital, had been very tense.

After all, they were in a perilous situation, with danger lurking at any moment.

The Capital is so tightly guarded that if the Python King were to turn hostile, they would have no hope of escaping.

"If not, I’ll just have to figure something else out, with such a vast Capital City, there will be a way," Chen Yang said with little worry.

He believed that heaven would not seal off all paths, and if the national treasury had none, he’d find another way outside the palace.

A bustling place like the Capital City should certainly have all three herbs.

"Alright, I’ll accompany you if need be." Tu Qi nodded, and the three of them sat in the Eastern Palace courtyard, sipping tea.

Occasionally, they also chatted with Qin Qingfeng.

During these few days of interaction, Chen Yang found that Qin Qingfeng, this old fellow, was quite decent.

Although he exuded an overpowering aura.

It always seemed like before him, nothing could be concealed, he could guess everything.

After chatting and laughing for a while, the Crown Prince returned.

From his gloomy expression, it was clear that he hadn’t gained much.

"Brother Chen Yang, in the national treasury I found only one type, look..." Prince Jing Kang took out an oval-shaped fruit from his storage space.

The fruit was red, with two long tendrils, resembling Dragon Beard.

This was the Dragon Beard Fruit, known for its potent restorative properties.

"Dragon Beard Fruit."

Chen Yang’s eyes lit up as he took the Dragon Beard Fruit.

After careful examination, he confirmed it was genuine and stored it in his pouch.

"Brother Chen Yang, with two herbs still missing, what can we do? Could we substitute them with others?" Jing Kang asked.

"No." Chen Yang shook his head decisively, "The Greater Restoration Elixir is not like other elixirs, its requirements are very strict."

"Not a single ingredient can be substituted."

"Then what should we do?" Jing Kang became anxious.

Chen Yang considered for a moment and said, "I’ll think of a way, surely in such a vast Capital, we can gather the two herbs."

...

Afternoon.

Chen Yang, along with Tu Qi and Qin Shan, exited the Imperial City.

Their goal was simple, to find the remaining two herbs.

Earth Spirit Liquid and Ice and Fire Earth Python Flower.

These two herbs were very precious.

But Chen Yang was confident he could find these two things in the Capital City.

After all, the Capital of the Great Jing Dynasty was a major hub with a population exceeding ten million.

With such a vast base of cultivators, it’s unthinkable not to find these items.

"Brother Chen Yang, where should we head first? The Capital has too many trading spots, we need to plan our route, or it will be too troublesome." Once outside the Imperial City, Qin Shan immediately asked Chen Yang.

The Capital of the Great Jing Dynasty boasts dozens of places for trading and exchanging cultivation resources.

Before they set out, Chen Yang had already inquired with Jing Kang.

Thus, they came out of the Imperial City.

"Let’s head to the Treasure Pavilion first," Chen Yang suggested with a smile.

"Treasure Pavilion?" Qin Shan was surprised but said nothing, following Chen Yang’s lead.

The Treasure Pavilion wasn’t only found within Cangnan Academy.

In almost every major city across the Southern Domain, there was a Treasure Pavilion presence.

The Treasure Pavilion belonged to no particular power.

They were a transcendent force that specialized in business.

Rumor has it that the wealth accumulated by the Treasure Pavilion could sustain the entire Southern Domain, though this is unverified.

In any case, the influence of the Treasure Pavilion was enormous.

Even though they were merely traders, no power dared to offend the Treasure Pavilion lightly.

Not even the Great Jing Royal Family dared.
