Lu Ming mulled it over for two seconds before saying,
This arm is quite terrifying right now, let’s not do it.
I’m a doctor. Who knows, I might be able to treat your wound.
Sima You Yue said.
Lu Ming shook his head, saying,
You won’t be able to treat it. Li Mu’s flame will leave behind a trace of his flame wherever it burns. There’s no way to get rid of it or extinguish it. This kind of flame can only be taken out by its owner. Only a rhinoceros grass that’s two hundred years old and above will be able to treat it.
Traces of his flame remain within your body?
This was the first time that Sima You Yue had heard of something like this.
That’s right. The amount of medicine that I’ve eaten this whole month is enough to let the average burn victim heal an entire set of his bones, but for a circumstance like this, the newly grown flesh cannot even last an hour before it is burnt once again by the flame in my body.
Lu Ming explained.
At this moment, Lu Yun had poured two cups of water and entered, saying,
Although Rhinoceros Grass of two hundred years old and above are rare, they can still be located. However, Li Mu has made it so that nobody in Saint City is allowed to sell it to us, forcing Eldest Brother to go to the mountain to look for it. He really is malicious!
Since things have already reached this point, I might as well just chop off one of my arms when the time comes. They just have to come back safely.
Lu Ming said.
How can you do that!
Lu Yun said,
You talent at alchemy is so outstanding, if you cut off your own arm, how could you possibly perform alchemy in the future?
I already feel extremely apologetic that one of me has put such a burden on the three of you. Eldest Brother has even landed in such a dangerous situation today. As long as our family is safe, we will be able to live on even if I function independently.
No way, we have to treat you no matter what. Don’t you forget that you have a heavy responsibility of the Lu Clan!
Lu Yun was extremely firm at this point.
Cough cough.
Although Sima You Yue was moved by the sibling’s emotional exchange, they shouldn’t treat her existence as air right now.
Lu Ming and Lu Yun finally remember that they were present, and smiled apologetically.
I promised Lu Yuan that, if he let me take a look at your wound, I would give him a stalk of two hundred year old Rhinoceros Grass.
Sima You Yue took out a stalk of Rhinoceros grass as she spoke.
Rhinoceros grass!
The Lu siblings cried out simultaneously when they saw the medicinal ingredient in her hand.
Can I take a look at your wound now?
Sima You Yue said while looking at Lu Ming.
Okay!
He agreed at this point because he would have to reveal it to treat his wound even if he didn’t let her take a look.
Lu Yun bent down and pulled down the cast on his hand. An arm that was charred black appeared in front of everyone.
It was lucky that Sima You Yue and Bei Gong Tang had strong hearts. That’s why they were not scared silly when they were faced with a wound like this.
Sima You Yue walked over to inspect it and said,
It truly has remnants of a flame. However, it’s much better than I thought.
That’s because Li Mu’s flame, although different from the average flame, is not that high in rank. He’s not one of those prominent flame wielders.
Lu Ming said.
Lu Yun watched how seriously Sima You Yue was inspecting and asked,
Lord Sima, do you have a way to save Second Brother?
Mm, this flame remnant isn’t that strong. Otherwise, this Rhinoceros Grass would be useless.
Sima You Yue replied,
Your brother’s wound isn’t that big of a problem. It’ll be healed in a while.
Healed in a while?
Lu Yun grabbed on to Sima You Yue’s clothes excitedly,
Really?
Sima You Yue nodded and split the Rhinoceros Grass into two. She handed the roots to Bei Gong Tang and got her to refine a type of medicine, then she got Lu Yun to fetch a basin of water.
After that, she released a ball of flame and extracted the essence from the remaining Rhinoceros Grass. When it was almost done purifying, she kept her flame away and the essence flowed into the basin.
She placed her hand into the basin and stirred a few rounds, saying,
Place your injured area in the water.
Lu Ming nodded, then walked over to place his hand inside. His hand that was constantly aflame felt cool, letting him feel more comfortable.
Circulate your inner spiritual energy, absorb the essence in the water.
Sima You Yue said from the side.
Actually, Lu Ming knew to do this even without her reminder, and the basin of water very quickly became clear.
Second Brother, how is it?
Lu Yun said while staring at him.
Lu Ming took out his hand and said,
I already do not feel the burn.
He felt his arm for a bit, then said happily,
The flame has more of less completely disappeared! There only remain some in my bones and meridians, but it is much less.
At this moment, Bei Gong Tang had finished refining the medicine as well, and let Lu Ming apply it.
After a short while passed, Lu Ming said,
The flame has already completely be eradicated!
Really? That’s fantastic!
Lu Yun was so ecstatic that she almost leapt with joy.
Sima You Yue gave him another pill and got him to eat it.
Very quickly, the charred flesh on Lu Ming’s arm began to fall off, and new flesh continued to grow.
This pill is even better than the pill second brother ate before!
Lu Yun said while beaming.
When Sima You Yue first came to this world, the third ranked pill that she first ate was able to cure her so quickly. Now, this pill was ranked even higher, so the results were better and quicker.
The flame remnants on my arm are gone, so the effects of the pill are better now.
Lu Ming said.
Lu Yun stared at Lu Ming’s arm. In the past, new flesh could grow on his arm, but they would be charred black shortly after.
However, Lu Ming couldn’t afford not to do it. Otherwise, the flames would burn away his bones and his meridians.
Seeing her own Brother bear this kind of torture caused the Lu Clan siblings endless heartache.
Lu Ming knew what his younger sister was thinking and used his other hand to pat her head, saying with a smile,
Relax, it won’t happen this time.
Mm.
Lu Yun nodded with eyes brimming with tears.
Lu Ming’s countenance was already completely different from when they first met. His entire person had come to life. He bowed deeply to Sima You Yue and Bei Gong Tang, saying,
Thank you for your assistance. However, we no long have anything here to repay you.
The enemy of an enemy is a friend. We don’t like Li Mu, so it’s nothing much to help you.
Sima You Yue waved her hands without minding it,
In any case, I said that I would give you the Rhinoceros Grass as long as you let me take alooka t your wound. So you don’t have to feel this and that.
Then, I have to thank you.
…
How are you able to live in the heart of the district?
Sima You Yue asked, successfully shifting the topic of conversation.
Lu Ming sighed, lamenting,
Although our Lu Clan has always been lacking in people, we are an aristocratic family of Alchemists. Our ancestor was the first elder of the Alchemist Guild. Because our achievements with Alchemists are extensive, we were permitted to stay in the heart of the district. However, later on, our clan was targeted by the Li clan, and our ancestor died unexpectedly while refining pills. Our uncles also met unexpected mishaps, and at this moment, only the four of us siblings remain.
