Chapter 256: One Hundred Million Needed
"Grandpa!" Nalan Yanran knelt directly on the ground and kept shaking Nalan Jie's body, trying to wake him up.
Nalan Su also had tears in his eyes and was filled with regret. Why couldn't he wait one more day?
This is great! A happy event turned into a funeral! I guess this matter will become a laughing stock in the entire Jiama Empire.
"Mr. Bu Jingyun! You must have a way! Please help grandpa! No matter what the cost!" Nalan Yanran grabbed Xiao Yan's arm as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
Upon hearing this, the others reacted instantly and asked Xiao Yan to help.
"Oh! It's difficult! The brain is not like other parts of the human body. If you are not careful, it will lead to death! If I can't cure it, it will ruin my reputation!" Xiao Yan sighed and refused directly.
"Please save my grandfather's life, sir. Even if you can't cure him, I won't blame you!" Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Yan and begged while crying.
"Yes! Please give him some treatment, sir!" Others echoed. If Mr. Nalan was really paralyzed, it would be the same as being dead.
"We need to use a sharp axe to chop off the skull!" Xiao Yan took out a big axe from his storage ring and said to everyone.
Everyone looked at the axe in Xiao Yan's hand and stood there in confusion.
Seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Xiao Yan explained directly: "We need to use a sharp axe to split open Mr. Nalan's head, then take out the brain, remove the poison inside, and then grow a new one for him. Alas! The operation is extremely difficult! I am not sure I can cure it! What if I can't cure it! My reputation will be ruined in the future! You should ask for help from someone else! Maybe someone else has a way! But the poison has already invaded the brain, and it will destroy the brain in just half a day, and then it will be impossible to cure it."
Hearing this, everyone's faces showed solemn expressions. Although they did not understand medicine, the branding poison invading the brain was indeed very troublesome.
"Please go ahead and do it boldly, sir!" After pondering for a while, Nalan Su finally made a decision.
"It'll take 100 million!"
Upon hearing this, Nalan Su and everyone in the room stood there in a daze.
Even if the Nalan family sells everything they have now, they can only scrape together 30 million gold coins at best, how can they get 100 million gold coins?
“Alas! It’s not that my price is high, but the herbs needed are too precious! Grandpa Nalan’s illness requires precious herbs to keep him alive. The price of these herbs would be 100 million for ordinary people. I am treating you for free!” Seeing that the Nalan family was conflicted, Xiao Yan took out a Earth Fire Lotus Seed.
Everyone felt the rich fire element in the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds. This rare medicinal material was something they had never seen or heard of before!
"Could this be the legendary Earth Fire Lotus Seed? I heard that taking this lotus seed can not only greatly increase one's strength, but also make one's control of fire more handy. The price of this Earth Fire Lotus Seed will definitely not be less than 300 million. Mr. Bu Jingyun is really kind-hearted!" Mitel Tengshan exclaimed on the side.
Hearing this, those who had previously doubted Xiao Yan all showed expressions of shame and lowered their heads, not daring to look at Xiao Yan again.
"My Mitel family and the Nalan family have been friends for generations. We are willing to pay 30 million gold coins as medical expenses for Mr. Bu Jingyun. However, these Earth Fire Lotus Seeds..." Mitel Tengshan said generously.
"But our Nalan family can only come up with 30 million gold coins at most!" Nalan Su looked at Xiao Yan and said helplessly.
"Oh! Forget it! You pay me 30 million first, and the remaining 70 million can be paid in installments. The interest rate is 5.88, and the repayment period is a total of 30 years, once a month. Each repayment is 410,430.2%. I don't want the change. Just pay me 410,430 directly!" Xiao Yan took out paper and pen from the ring, wrote a loan agreement, and handed it directly to Nalan Su for his signature.
Nalan Su took the agreement from Xiao Yan and read the contents on it. His mouth twitched. If this happened, the Nalan family would have to live on water in the future. But for the sake of Mr. Nalan, Nalan Su had to harden his heart and sign it. He then took out all his savings and handed it to Xiao Yan along with the loan agreement.
Mitel Tengshan also took out a purple gold card from his storage ring and handed it to Xiao Yan, saying, "This is the consultation fee, please accept it!"
"Don't feel that you are at a disadvantage. After this treatment, within three years, Grandpa Nalan will be able to break through to the Douhuang realm. Then you can repay the loan in advance. So, strictly speaking, you only need to suffer for three years!" Xiao Yan said comfortingly after receiving the money.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Breaking through to Douhuang within three years?
As long as they can break through to Douhuang, they would be willing to pay even 10 billion gold coins, let alone 100 million!
Happy smiles suddenly appeared on the faces of the Nalan family members, and they were full of confidence in the future.
"Well! You guys go out first! I have to treat Grandpa Nalan's illness. If it takes too long, even I may not be able to cure him!" Xiao Yan said to everyone in the room.
"Then I'll leave it to Mr. Bu Jingyun!" Nalan Su bowed respectfully to Xiao Yan and asked everyone to leave.
Before leaving, Ya Fei rolled her eyes at Xiao Yan, as if she knew of Xiao Yan's trick.
Yao Ye also curled her lips. Although she wanted to expose the truth, she knew that if she did so, she would be the one who would get hurt.
After everyone left, Xiao Yan really opened Nalan Jie's skull. After all, the words had already been spoken, so he had to pretend to do it.
"Crack! Crack!" The sound of an axe chopping off heads continued to ring out, and the people outside were terrified.
At this moment, they were very doubtful. Could the head really heal after being split open?
Although I really want to know what the scene is in the room at the moment, the room is covered by the soul cover and cannot be explored at all.
Other people attending the banquet also gathered outside the room, wanting to know what was going on inside.
When they learned that it was Mr. Bu Jingyun who was performing the craniotomy on Mr. Nalan, their eyes widened and they suddenly felt that the world they were in had become strange.
As everyone waited anxiously, the terrifying sound finally passed.
Just when everyone thought it was over, the sound of weapons rubbing against stones was heard again in the house.
Hearing such a strange voice, everyone looked puzzled again and guessed what Xiao Yan was doing.
Is it that the axe is not sharp enough, so it needs to be sharpened?
The most anxious people at this moment were Nalan Su and Nalan Yanran. They were sweating all over. Although they wanted to go in and take a look, they also knew that once they went in, the operation might fail.
The piercing sound stopped abruptly again amidst everyone's confusion, and red light began to flash continuously in the house, as if it was on fire. Accompanied by the darkness, it seemed extremely strange.
The people outside waited all night, until dawn, when the sun rose high, the noise in the house finally stopped.
The door of the room slowly opened, and Xiao Yan, dragging his tired body and covered in sweat, walked out holding onto the door frame, breathing heavily.
