"Then please go ahead and treat her first, friend!"

Duan Gujin hurriedly sent a voice transmission in secret to Meng Wanzhen, telling her to let the middle-aged fatty treat her mother first.

Meng Wanzhen promptly responded, knowing all too well that no amount of explanation would be useful.

Previously, she had spent a considerable sum of money, seeking the help of many high-level alchemists, including several Seventh-level Alchemists; yet, in the end, all those alchemists were at their wits' end.

"Don't worry, I am confident that I can wake Auntie up!"

The middle-aged fatty assured Meng Wanzhen with an oath.

He appeared arrogant on the surface, but his thoughts were entirely different.

He thought that as long as he could delay the time, he would be able to make Meng Wanzhen submit beneath him.

"Oh, and how much time would you need?"

Meng Wanzhen asked curiously.

"Probably a year or two, or maybe three to four years, it's hard to say!"

The middle-aged fatty looked at Meng Wanzhen, a flash of lasciviousness in his eyes that was difficult to detect.

"Brother Duan, what about you?"

Meng Wanzhen transmitted her question to Duan Gujin in secret.

"It won't take long at all, just two quarters of an hour! However, when I treat your mother, you will need to support her, and at the same time, you must not let anyone else enter the room!"

Duan Gujin replied.

"Okay!"

Meng Wanzhen chose to believe Duan Gujin's words.

The middle-aged fatty made a show of treating Meng Wanzhen's mother for quite some time, then let Meng Guliang and the others leave because he claimed he had to go outside to write an elixir recipe.

After seeing them leave, Duan Gujin finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked Meng Wanzhen to post someone to guard the door, to prevent her brother from disturbing them.

In reality, even if her brother made a sudden appearance, it wouldn't be much of a disturbance to him, but it would be a waste of all his previous efforts.

The middle-aged fatty immediately began writing an elixir recipe for Meng Guliang in the main hall, while continually saying that he was very busy and could stay to treat his mother for only a limited amount of time.

Naturally, Meng Guliang tried to appease the middle-aged fatty, wishing he would stay longer to resurrect his mother.

The middle-aged fatty pretended to speak this way purposely, aiming to let Meng Guliang and Meng Wanzhen understand that this opportunity was rare, and if they missed it, their mother would never wake up again. He wanted to use this fear to make Meng Wanzhen submit.

Thinking of the prospect of sleeping with a beauty like Meng Wanzhen, he felt a sudden surge of heat in his lower body.

However, just as he was feeling excited, Meng Wanzhen's voice came from outside.

"Brother, come quickly! Mother has awakened; she wants to see you!"

At that moment, Meng Wanzhen called out excitedly and anxiously from outside.

"Sister, what did you say? You're not deceiving me, are you?"

Meng Guliang wore an incredulous look, but then he thought that his sister wouldn't lie.

Therefore, he quickly ran towards the inner courtyard.

"How is this possible?"

The middle-aged man was also in disbelief upon hearing this.

He followed Meng Guliang to their mother's courtyard, and when they saw the middle-aged woman genuinely opening her eyes and regaining consciousness, their mouths dropped open, and they were completely dumbstruck, hardly believing their own eyes.

"My gosh! Mother, what happened?"

Meng Guliang had believed what the middle-aged fatty had said, really thinking that his mother wouldn't wake up for at least a year or two. But now that his mother had actually woken up so soon, how could he believe it?

"Guliang, I'm fine now, but I really don't know what happened. Why do I feel like I've been asleep for a very long time?"

The middle-aged woman rubbed her body, feeling uncomfortable all over.

After all, she had been lying in bed for at least five years, without any movement for such a long time.

"Mother, you don't know, you have been in a coma for at least five years!"

Meng Guliang and Meng Wanzhen almost burst into tears.

"No way, how could I sleep for that long? Quickly bring me a mirror, let me see what I look like now! Good heavens, I didn't expect to have aged so much!"

Seeing her reflection in the mirror, the middle-aged woman was almost brought to tears.

"Mother, it's alright now, don't worry, tell us, who did this to you?"

Meng Guliang was very anxious; he wanted to know the truth.

"It all started when a group of us went to the Hundred Saints Mountain to search for Spiritual Medicine. Unexpectedly, we encountered an attack by the Devil Clan there. The Devil Clan's strength was immense, and I faced a Female Demon whose sorcery knocked me out instantly. What happened after that, I really can't remember clearly!"

The middle-aged woman explained.

"So that's what happened!"

Meng Guliang suddenly realized and quickly transmitted a private message to ask Meng Wanzhen who had awakened their mother.

Upon learning that it was Duan Gujin who had awakened their mother, he quickly bowed in gratitude: "Thank you, esteemed senior, for saving my mother's life!"

Duan Gujin hastily replied: "It was just a trivial matter! You are too kind!"

"My friend, could you please tell me how you awoke her?"

The middle-aged fatty became anxious; he had previously sworn to Meng Guliang that his mother would need to take medicine for at least one or two years before possibly waking up. Now, Duan Gujin had utterly discredited him, and he did not take it well, so he started to inquire.

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed as he said, "My Master knows some friends from the Heavenly Fox Clan, who taught me how to break the Illusion Technique of the Heavenly Fox Clan. Therefore, I was able to easily unlock the shackles within her Divine Soul. To remove that Soul Lock, one needs special techniques, and only those who know them can solve it easily!"

"So that's what it is!"

The middle-aged fatty finally understood, his face turning extremely ugly.

He hated Duan Gujin to death, as it was clear that he had been shown up! How could he ever maintain his reputation now? He believed that the two people around him would certainly regard him as a Seventh-level Alchemist who had exaggerated his abilities or even consider him a fraud!

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Meng Wanzhen would never have believed that a problem that had stumped her for five years could be resolved by Duan Gujin in just a quarter of an hour.

"May I ask who your Master is?"

The middle-aged fatty was immediately filled with curiosity.

"You don't need to know that. My Master is a master among masters! He is of the King of Pills tier!"

Duan Gujin declared.

"Oh, since Brother Meng has received aid from a high-level expert, I shall take my leave!"

Recalling his status as an esteemed Seventh-level Alchemist who couldn't compete with a Sixth-level Alchemist, the middle-aged fatty felt he had no face to stay any longer.

He had previously speculated that Duan Gujin must have a high-level expert behind him. Now that he heard the other party's Master was a King of Pills, his face changed dramatically. Knowing that King of Pills represented the highest level among Alchemists, he dared not casually provoke the descendant of a King of Pills.

Cultivating to become a Sixth-level Alchemist was no easy feat, let alone considering that Duan Gujin seemed quite young. Being so young with such high Cultivation indicated that the expert behind him was unfathomable.

Duan Gujin urged Meng Wanzhen to take good care of her mother's recovery, then he left with Yan Dapang.

"Brother Duan, you're truly incredible. If only you could have seen how priceless that Seventh-level Alchemist's embarrassed expression was!"

Yan Dapang had already been upset with that Seventh-level Alchemist, thinking his facial expressions were too arrogant.

"A minor character, not worth our concern!"

Duan Gujin replied indifferently.

"Mm!"

Yan Dapang quickly nodded.
