"This is an extrely rare case of amniotic fluid embolism! Fortunately, dicine was administered in ti, and she underwent a thorough cleansing of the womb, removing amniotic fluid, stasis blood, and other impurities. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have survived."
Madam Xiong’s condition is the result of a difficult labor that led to her current state.
In modern dical terms, this disease would be called amniotic fluid embolism.
It refers to the amniotic fluid backflowing from a uterine wound into the bloodstream of the pregnant woman. This condition is highly dangerous and has a horrifyingly high mortality rate.
The Xiong Family is a renowned family in the dicinal material trade, possessing extrely precious life-saving dicines. Coupled with their business connections, they were able to seek help from an Alchemy Venerate Level 1 to treat Madam Xiong.
That’s why Madam Xiong’s life was preserved.
"Alchemist Chu, then do you have a way to cure my wife? No matter the cost, no matter what dicinal materials are needed, I will definitely find a way to get them."
It’s obvious when a professional takes action.
After his diagnosis, Chu Feng accurately identified the focal point of the disease, which deepened the Xiong Family Master’s trust in his abilities by a few notches.
"Everything in the world has its spiritual essence and uses. The Qilin is the leader among beasts, and its blood has infinite wonderful uses. With just one drop, along with so auxiliary materials, I can refine it into an Elixir that will surely awaken your wife!"
Chu Feng considered and then proposed a treatnt plan.
Just like dragons, Qilins are also part of mythical top-tier demon beasts.
Finding even a single drop of Qilin Blood is as difficult as reaching the heavens.
"Where can I find Qilin Blood! Our Xiong Family has been in the dicinal herb trade on the Divine Martial Continent for nearly a hundred years and never heard of its existence," the Xiong Family Master said despairingly, his heart also in greater pain.
Since no one could cure Madam Xiong in the past, he gradually accepted it.
Now, Chu Feng tells him there’s a way to cure Madam Xiong, but he can’t get Qilin Blood.
"How about this, I’ll return to the Extre Cold Cave and see if I can get so Qilin Blood!" Xiong Guansui herself didn’t have the capability, she could only ask her master for help.
Chu Feng’s ability to treat her mother indeed eased much of the resentful energy she held against him.
After being so much at his disadvantage, finally, there was so return.
"If Qilin Blood can’t be found, White Deer Blood can substitute, though the effects will be much worse." Chu Feng provided another plan.
Deer also vary by breed; the best ones are even used by Immortals as mounts.
Moreover, many ancient texts record that deer are descendants of the Qilin.
They are the closest in blood.
Just like snakes are to dragons, nearly everyone knows that snakes are closely related to dragons.
Through cultivation, a snake can transform into a dragon.
Ordinary deer are mostly sika deer. White Deer, being a rare alien species, are exceptionally scarce and hard to find.
"I can actually get White Deer Blood! In fact, our Xiong Family pharmacy has half a bottle in stock; I wonder if that’s enough?" Hope rekindled on the Xiong Family Master’s face.
Although the effects of deer blood are much weaker, he was still willing to give it a try.
"It should be enough. I need to refine it first to be sure. If the quality of that half bottle of deer blood is exceptionally high, it should definitely be sufficient. Generally speaking, there are two aspects to consider when evaluating the quality of beast blood."
"The higher its cultivation, the better the quality of the beast blood. The purer its bloodline, the higher its quality."
Chu Feng silently marveled at the strength of the Xiong Family. Truly deserving of being one of the top-tier dicinal families on the Divine Martial Continent, they even had stocks of White Deer Blood.
This connection with the Xiong Family could be beneficial in the future if he needed so rare dicinal materials; he could purchase them from the Xiong Family Master.
"Let’s do it this way, seeing as your wife’s illness probably can’t wait much longer. I’ll first use the deer blood to refine an Elixir, while Miss Xiong returns to the Extre Cold Cave in search for Qilin Blood. If she finds it, I will use the Qilin Blood to refine another Elixir. If not, at least we won’t have delayed the treatnt."
Chu Feng gave a relatively sensible suggestion.
The Xiong Family Master readily agreed.
"It seems this guy has so conscience. But don’t think that by providing so little favors, I will forgive you." Xiong Guansui naturally understood that Chu Feng’s consideration for her mother’s illness was for her sake.
She felt quite gratified in her heart.
...
Extracting deer blood was a very troubleso matter, and even with Chu Feng’s skills, it took nearly seven days to complete.
The subsequent alchemy was equally difficult.
Fortunately, possessing the Abnormal Fire, a great advantage, and his remarkable level in the Alchemy Dao, he eventually successfully concocted a Blood Cleansing Elixir.
Its effects, besides removing impurities from the blood, also included promoting blood circulation.
When he brought the elixir to the Xiong Family, Miss Xiong had just returned as well.
Seeing her dejected appearance, one could guess with their toes that she definitely had not managed to obtain Qilin Blood.
Indeed, upon asking, even the Extre Cold Cave couldn’t procure Qilin Blood.
Chu Feng crushed the Blood Cleansing Elixir into powder and mixed it with warm water, feeding it bit by bit to Madam Xiong.
After the entire elixir was administered, both the Xiong Family Master and Xiong Guansui anxiously awaited the verdict of fate.
At first, there was no change, and Madam Xiong still looked pale.
Chu Feng was also sowhat nervous inside, as he had done all he could. If it didn’t work, then there was nothing to be done.
However, this probably would cause Xiong Guansui, that young girl, to bear so grudges against him.
She possessed the Nine Yin Sword Vein, which was extrely useful to Chu Feng.
Two hours later, Madam Xiong finally showed so changes.
Her eyelids twitched, and her face revealed an unprecedented expression of relief.
Following that, Chu Feng heard a whooshing sound coming from under the blankets. A foul stench and a urine sll imdiately filled the room.
"Haha, my days of hard work weren’t wasted; this woman is saved."
Saving one life is more ritorious than building a seven-level pagoda.
Chu Feng felt very happy.
"Your wife should wake up soon, rember to feed her so mild nourishing foods. Chicken soup would be best." It was clearly inappropriate for Chu Feng to stay any longer here.
There was no longer anything for him to do here.
"Alchemist Chu, you have worked hard! I have already arranged a room for you, you can move in. If you need anything, just instruct the servants," Xiong Family Master, seeing signs of his wife waking up, was also overjoyed.
He was extrely grateful to Chu Feng.
"No need for rest! I still have matters at ho, I must take my leave!" Chu Feng clasped his hands together and stylishly walked outside.
"Thank you for curing my mother!" Miss Xiong, overwheld with joy, chased him to the door to express her gratitude.
"Don’t forget our agreent, I have already fulfilled my promise to you."
Chu Feng took a deep look at her, then flew off on his sword towards Longevity Hall.
Miss Xiong was montarily stunned; what happened between her and Chu Feng in the room that day, others simply did not know.
The agreent between the two was also only clear to them.
She just bit her lower lip, faintly humming in a barely noticeable manner. A clearly visible blush rose on her pretty face.
Only when Chu Feng’s figure disappeared did she lower her head and walk back to the room.
