Chapter 231 Decoction
When they looked at Chen Lan again, their expressions became more serious.

As for Mo Jiuwei, who was not even as tall as Chen Lan's legs, no one paid any attention to her, thinking she was just a clingy little girl.

After a long silence, sighs and sobs were heard, followed by the sound of people getting up.

Since they weren't kept, and the reasons were ones they genuinely accepted, there was no point in keeping them there any longer.

Their sadness stemmed from yet another disappointment, and from utter despair regarding their illness.

"Please wait a moment," Chen Lan said as she saw some people reaching the door.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at her with suspicion.

"Our Xianlai Sect has limited resources and cannot treat everyone individually. We feel bad for troubling you all to make this trip, so as compensation, each of you will receive a bowl of our prepared herbal soup free of charge before you leave, hoping it will make you feel better."

After saying that, Chen Lan looked at Mo Jiuwei, winked at her subtly, and then flicked her sleeve.

Mo Jiuwei promptly retrieved the large medicine vat from the immortal abode and placed it on the ground.

To outsiders, it appeared that Chen Lan herself had taken it out.

The medicine vat was still steaming, filled with brown medicinal soup, and the rich aroma of the soup wafted through the air.

This pot of medicine was brewed by Mo Jiuwei herself.

Her current body is not capable of refining pills, as that would be too strenuous, but brewing some medicinal soups is still no problem.

She wrote down the prescription and asked her maid to go out and buy it for her, along with this large jar.

Then Mo Jiuwei controlled the heat herself, watching it simmer and adding medicinal herbs from time to time.

It took three days and three nights to brew this batch of medicine.

The medicinal liquid is different from the pill. It is simpler and does not require the consumption of alchemical fire and spiritual power. However, the disadvantage is that the medicinal effect is less.

Of course, the medicinal liquid that Mo Jiuwei concocted was different from that of ordinary people, and she also added several precious medicinal herbs to this vat, which could not be bought with money outside.

Chen Lan took out a bowl, stirred the large ladle in the vat, ladled out a bowlful, and handed it to the first person in front.

"What kind of medicine is this? What does it treat?" the man asked.

“No matter where you feel unwell, drinking this medicine will make you feel better. Even if it doesn’t cure your symptoms, it’s better than nothing,” Chen Lan said with a smile. “Each person can have a maximum of one bowl. Whether you drink it or not is entirely voluntary, but once you leave this door, it will be too late to regret it.”

"I'll drink!" The man gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand.

He was unwilling to have made a wasted trip. Although he admired the five people, he still felt uneasy.

If I can get a bowl of herbal medicine for free, I'll drink it. I can't possibly make myself sick from drinking it.

Thinking he might as well drink it, he took it, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

The taste of the herbal decoction was really not good. It was bitter with a hint of spiciness, and sweetness mixed with bitterness, but the sweetness was so bad that it was almost unpleasant to taste, and it just made people feel nauseous.

But strangely enough, after the medicine entered his stomach, a warm feeling arose from his abdomen, and the male cultivator's head, which had been aching, suddenly felt a little better.
“Huh? This medicine…” The male cultivator stared at the empty bowl, stunned.

"How is it? Is it working?" someone asked curiously.

"It does help a little, and it's quite useful." The male cultivator came to his senses and replied with considerable surprise, "Of course, it can't cure the root cause."

"Of course, we don't have ordinary illnesses, so how could they be easily cured?"

"That's true." The male cultivator nodded, then turned to Chen Lan. "Thank you for the medicine. This way, my trip wasn't in vain. Farewell!"

The male cultivator strode out of the main hall and walked briskly out.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, realizing something. Besides relieving some pain, this herbal soup seemed to... give him more strength?

He wasn't like this when he came. He was suffering from illness and could only walk slowly. How could he have taken such big steps!
The man was overjoyed and turned around to shout loudly towards the main hall—

"This medicine is really effective! I even have the strength to walk now! Thank you so much, fairy!"

After saying that, he left.

The people in the hall were intrigued by the man's words, and apart from a very few who left in silence, the others planned to stay and ask for a bowl of water.

Actually, the greatest benefit of this medicine is to replenish qi and blood and restore energy; its secondary benefit is to alleviate physical pain.

Everyone who is unwell will feel weak and lacking in energy and blood, so no matter what the illness is, taking medicine will be effective.

Moreover, this is not just a short-term effect. After taking this bowl of medicine, their condition will improve significantly within at least ten days to half a month, which can be considered as compensation for their wasted trip.

"This medicine is really good!"

"Yes, I feel lighter and more agile."

"It really worked! I'm not in so much pain anymore!"

“My son has the strength to walk now, that’s amazing.”

At this moment, someone smacked their lips, looking surprised, "Is there any unique golden leaf in here?"

"A single golden leaf? A single golden leaf that costs thousands of crystals?" someone exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Lan met everyone's questioning gazes and calmly nodded, "There are indeed several precious medicinal herbs."

"My God, we've found such valuable medicinal herbs! We've really struck gold!"

For many people, they can't even afford a magic artifact worth thousands of crystals, let alone such an expensive herb.

Such a pot of medicinal soup, and so effective, it's easy to imagine that it must have used more than just this one herb!
Everyone was both moved and flattered, and their only remaining dissatisfaction with the Immortal Sect disappeared.

Although they couldn't stay, the sect is recruiting disciples, not doing charity, so naturally they have to screen them, and it's impossible to keep everyone.

Getting this bowl of medicine makes the trip worthwhile.

After taking the medicine and expressing their gratitude, everyone planned to leave satisfied.

"By the way, it's not impossible for non-disciples of our sect to seek medical treatment. They can go to Xianlaifang in the market for a consultation," Chen Lan said with a smile. "However, it will cost a considerable amount of crystals, and the consultation will have to wait for a month."

In short, he successfully brought everyone to a stop.

"really?"

"Can it really be cured?"

"Oh dear, why didn't you say so soon? This is wonderful!"

"Why not now, a month from now?"

Unexpectedly, this turn of events brought smiles of surprise to everyone's faces.

But soon, some people's eyes dimmed.

The phrase "expensive crystals" is enough to deter most people.

"The reason it will be a month later is because we will be busy treating the disciples in our sect during this month and will not have time for anything else," Chen Lan explained, and then gave a rough estimate of the price.

Xianlaifang only treats difficult and complicated diseases, not common illnesses, so the price of medical treatment is relatively high, with a starting price of 10,000 crystal stones. Those who cannot afford this should not waste their time and money.
