Chapter 1420: Sky-high Price

Chapter 1419 – Sky-high Price

Elder Yu was looking at Yaowang with doubtful eyes when he saw Yaowang was full of needles all over his body, but he was here for treatment- it was not an appropriate time to comment. Besides, normal people would never understand what people from above do things; it was probably one of Yaowang’s techniques in practice. Who knew?

Yaowang and Zhao Qibing were destined to be together- they were a perfect match; both of them were evil by nature. In actuality, Yaowang knew Elder Yu was poisoned the moment his fingers landed on Elder Yu’s pulse.

This kind of poison was strong, but it was just a piece of a cake to him.

If Lin Yi could easily remove the toxin, naturally, Yaowang wouldn’t have much problem as well. In terms of medical prowess, both of them were almost the same- the only difference between them was one specialized in saving lives, and while the other one was an expert in harming people to earn money.

“Ugh…. this poison is extremely potent! It’s one of the thousand years poisons!” Yaowang released his finger from Elder Yu’s pulse and furrowed his eyebrows. “This poison is not a common poison- it’s a lost poison! Even I’ve only seen them in some ancient scrolls…. and now, your condition fits the symptoms of the poison perfectly!”

“Then… what should I do?” Elder Yu was taken aback when he heard the diagnosis. He had heard of the big name of Yaowang, being the head of the doctors of hidden house Zhao and all- he was definitely not a simple character- if he said that the poison was potent, then his condition must be severe, could he survive this tragedy?

Thinking until this point, Elder Yu became more and more frustrated. From entering the tomb to almost losing his life, Hidden House Yu didn’t even give a damn about him at all, their attitude towards him was neutral, this made him so pissed off!

“Things are not impossible; you are lucky this time when I read about the thousand-year poison. I also saw the antidote. Elder Yu, you are considered extremely lucky to have met me, if you were to find someone else, only death awaits you!” Originally, Yaowang came from the hidden noble house. Besides, his position there wasn’t low at all, so he didn’t have to show any respect to Elder Yu when he was speaking.

“Ah! Yaowang, please, you have to save me. This old man will surely pay you handsomely!” Elder Yu’s face turned red when he heard that there was hope.

“We can discuss that later… You don’t have to pay me so much. You’re from House Yu, and I’m from House Zhao, we are connected by marriage. Naturally, I will do my best to save you!” Yaowang said generously.

“Even so, thank you very much!” Elder Yu thanked again.

“But…” Yaowang got back into the main topic. “This poison is so potent, the herbs to make the antidote are naturally super precious. There are thousand-year fleece flower root, ten thousand year snow lotus, three thousand years Ginseng and et cetera. The cost of these herbs…..”

“Don’t worry, just leave the money to this old man to settle. How can I allow Yaowang to pay up the fee? You are here to save me, and this old man is eternally grateful, how can I ask you to pay for the herbs?” Elder Yu continued. “How much do these herbs cost?”

“Not much, around one billion is sufficient!” Yaowang nodded and said.

“How much?” Elder Yu was dumbfounded and thought that he didn’t listen clearly.

“Ten billion!” Yaowang repeated.

“Eh!” Elder Yu turned into stone with his jaw on the ground. Ten billion? Was this a universal joke? Removing the toxin for one billion? Were those herbs made of diamonds? Even if these herbs were made of diamonds, the price wasn’t this sky-high!

Yaowang’s greediness stunned Zhao Qibing greatly! One billion, Yaowang actually asked for one billion! From Zhao Qibing’s perspective, asking two or three hundred million was already more than enough, but Yaowang was asking so much, He was so evil!

However, Zhao Qibing liked the idea very much!

“Young master Zhao, don’t you think that the fee here is a little too high?” Elder Yu got back to his senses and looked at Zhao Qibing.

“Elder Yu, be careful of what you are saying!” Zhao Qibing waved his hand. “Elder Yu, think about it, these herbs are as precious and as rare as treasures. We, House Zhao, don’t have many stocks as well. These treasures are meant for my grandpa and the masters in the house to level up. Today, we have no choice but to use these herbs on you, think about the consequences it will bring to us? Who knows if one of our members is about to breakthrough and these herbs are needed, where are we supposed to go find these herbs! Grandpa is about to breakthrough to sky class now… we, House Zhao is making a huge sacrifice to save you; you should know that very well yourself!”

Zhao Qibing’s words angered Elder Yu. Even if the herbs were as precious as treasures, it didn’t have to be a billion, did it? Did you really think that I’m an idiot? House Yu had treasures too, they might not have a thousand-year fleece flower root, but treasures below this rank were still available. He didn’t believe House Zhao had so many treasures, as they stated!

However, even if he didn’t believe them, he had no choice- his life was in their hand, he couldn’t offend people from House Zhao just yet.

“Young master Zhao, the fee is still too much for this old man here… do you think…. you can reduce it a little?” Elder Yu held down his anger and asked politely. He couldn’t just walk away from the bar, could he?

“Not even a cent!” Zhao Qibing waved his hand. “Elder Yu, honestly speaking, we are giving this price because you are from House Yu, if this was another person, House Zhao would never sell these treasures at only one billion!”

“This…” Elder Yu wanted to scold them- they were still acting to be nice here, huh? However, he didn’t dare to speak out. “This old man here really has no other options!”

How much money did hidden House Yu have, Elder Yu was aware of it. They got their money from the common world House Yu, how would he not know about it? However, it was possible for hidden House Yu to pay for the medical fee, was it? Elder Yu was completely disappointed by their response; his heart turned cold, recalling that!

As far as he was concerned, he was just a mongrel to be ordered around, die or not, it had nothing to do with them! So the thought of calling the hidden House Yu never appeared in his mind.

As for the common world House Yu, Elder Yu believed that Yu Shuixing would be glad to pay the medical fee if he asked him, but how much money did the common world House Yu have, Elder Yu knew it very well! Common world’s House Yu was rich, but all those money was sent back to hidden house Yu. All these years of earning, maybe only one billion was available in cash!

If this money were used to remove the toxin in his body, what would happen to the common world House Yu? Wasn’t he destroying his own house? Elder Yu couldn’t afford to be this selfish!

“Oh? I heard that House Yu has a billion worth of assets, no? Elder Yu, aren’t you being dishonest here?” Zhao Qibing dug his ear with his finger. “Although I, Zhao Qibing, am not very smart, you can’t just assume that I’m an idiot to be fooled by you, right?”
