Supreme Vision Master Chapter 1261: The Deal

Luo Qingtong regarded Hu Zhongtian, her mind fixed on acquiring the map to the Holy King Tomb.

Given that he was Lady Yan’s father and Chu Lingfeng’s grandfather, she decided to offer him a fair exchange.

An agreement would lead to mutual benefit, but if refused, Luo Qingtong possessed other means to secure the item.

She cautioned herself that subsequent interactions would be far less amicable.

Even if Chu Lingfeng and Lady Yan were to plead on their knees, she would not offer her assistance again.

"Cough, cough... I am aware of my own condition, there is no need for you to concern yourself," Hu Zhongtian dismissed Luo Qingtong’s offer, not taking her medical abilities seriously.

How skilled could such a young girl possibly be?

Numerous alchemists from Barbaric City and beyond had already failed to cure his ailment.

He politely declined her unsolicited help.

With a sorrowful smile, he stated, "If you desire that item, you may have it."

"It was originally given to Lady Yan by that individual..."

"And I thank you for taking in and caring for Lady Yan and her child previously."

Hu Zhongtian's intention was clear.

He did not require Luo Qingtong's medical treatment or any other assistance; his sole request was for her to continue looking after Lady Yan and her child.

Furthermore, she had already provided them shelter.

The item could be considered a token of his gratitude.

Hu Zhongtian exerted himself, propping up his frail body with the intention of retrieving the item for Luo Qingtong.

He knew his time was limited.

It would be far better to give it to this young girl than to allow the Second Elder’s faction to seize it and benefit the Bai Family upon his death.

Hu Zhongtian's words prompted Luo Qingtong to lift her eyebrows.

She did not correct him.

Whether he could be cured would be revealed in due course.

Luo Qingtong’s expression remained composed as she replied, "Very well, it is agreed. Deliver the item to me once you have recovered!"

Though Luo Qingtong usually insisted on a deposit, she felt no urgency given the man's precarious state.

After all, she had no fear of Hu Zhongtian breaking his promise.

His life was literally in her hands.

If she had the power to save Hu Zhongtian, she also possessed the means to ensure his silent demise.

However, with Lady Yan and Chu Lingfeng present, it was unlikely he would resort to such measures.

Luo Qingtong rose and walked towards the exit.

"Arrange a quiet room for me here, completely free from any interruptions."

"Furthermore, your illness is quite peculiar. What is termed an illness is actually the result of severe prior injuries, with fractured ribs embedded in your chest and lungs."

"Someone administered a potent medicine which stimulated flesh and bone growth, causing them to fuse seamlessly! While it appears healed, it conceals hidden dangers."

"Your internal fractures have now grown to compress your chest and lungs. Removing them is no simple task; first, you must nurture your health, lest you perish the moment I touch you."

Luo Qingtong spoke, then handed a medicinal recipe to Chu Lingfeng. "Use this prescription to prepare a medicine for your grandfather. He must soak in it three times daily, and when the time is right, I will naturally administer his treatment!"

"Ah!" Chu Lingfeng quickly caught the paper.

Hu Zhongtian, who had intended to say more, experienced a shift from surprise to sheer joy upon hearing Luo Qingtong's diagnosis.

The girl's accurate description of his past injuries made him wonder if, this time... he truly had a chance at recovery?

Hu Zhongtian himself had been utterly ignorant of the true nature of his ailment!

If Luo Qingtong's assessment was correct, he would certainly need to investigate who had tampered with his medicinal liquid during his injury!

While Hu Zhongtian was immersed in this hopeful revelation, Luo Qingtong had already departed his chamber.

"Hmm?"

As Luo Qingtong stepped outside, she unexpectedly encountered Yu Sihuang in a confrontation with a group of individuals.

And that group...
