PATGFM Chapter 27: Regretful Chu Shanhe

Jinhu Community.

Lu Chuan walked out of the kitchen holding several bottles of elixirs.

"One bottle of Xuan Yuan Dan, one bottle of Bai Jie Dan, and one bottle of Pei Yuan Dan. This time, the medicinal materials have been fully utilized, and these three bottles of elixirs should be enough for me for some time."

Xuan Yuan Dan could increase one's strength, needless to say.

Pei Yuan Dan was used to stabilize one's foundation.

Last time, he used Blood Ignition Technique and lost some of his own blood essence. Although he had already replenished it, it caused some instability in his cultivation level. Pei Yuan Dan could eliminate this influence.

As for Bai Jie Dan, it was a supplementary elixir that could cure illnesses and detoxify. Just one pill could prevent any poison.

Lu Chuan took out the fifty-year-old ginseng. "The next step is the main event. This ginseng is enough to refine a Fusion Spirit Pill, but I hope there won't be any mistakes."

The so-called Fusion Spirit Pill was a type of elixir that could enhance a cultivator's sensitivity to the world. After taking the pill, the rate of absorbing spiritual energy would increase exponentially, leading to a significant increase in cultivation efficiency.

If used properly, one Fusion Spirit Pill could directly elevate Lu Chuan from the second layer of Qi Cultivation to the third layer.

Considering there was only one ginseng, and the refining opportunity was only once, there couldn't be any mistakes. Lu Chuan turned off his phone directly.

He had also instructed Mu Nanqing before going to work, saying he couldn't be disturbed today and to avoid making any noise when Mu Nanqing returned.

After isolating all possible disturbances, Lu Chuan once again entered the kitchen and began to prepare for refining the Fusion Spirit Pill.

...

Chu Family's old mansion.

Chu Mengyao stood solemnly in Chu Shanhe's room, reading the report given by Dr. Chen and confirming that Chu Shanhe really couldn't see anything. She scolded, "Dad, if you had listened to Lu Chuan's advice earlier, this situation might not have happened."

Chu Shanhe's mood was already terrible. After hearing Chu Mengyao's words, he became hysterical. "If you're here just to blame me, then get out right now!"

Zhao Haitang grabbed Chu Mengyao's arm, her eyes red. "Yao Yao, now is not the time to say these things. Don't provoke him. Hurry up and contact Lu Chuan. He could see through your father's problem at a glance, so he must have a way to cure him!"

Chu Mengyao sighed and said, "Okay, I'll contact him first."

She glanced at Chu Shanhe. "Dad, don't worry too much. Lu Chuan's medical skills are very impressive. He must have a way."

Chu Shanhe's expression softened slightly. "Let's hope so."

Chu Mengyao took out her phone and called Lu Chuan, but the next moment, her eyes widened.

"Hello, the number you've dialed is powered off..."

She thought she dialed wrong and tried again, but got the same result.

Zhao Haitang looked at Chu Mengyao anxiously and asked, "Yao Yao, what's the matter? Did you get through?"

Chu Mengyao murmured, "He... he turned off his phone..."

Zhao Haitang's face changed. "Turned off? Why would he turn off his phone? Aren't you young people supposed to keep your phones on 24/7?"

Chu Mengyao shook her head. "I don't know..."

Sitting on the bed, Chu Shanhe's eyes were lifeless. A bitter smile appeared on his face, as he probably guessed why Lu Chuan had turned off his phone.

"It seems that I can't escape this calamity after all. This is just me reaping what I sowed." Chu Shanhe laughed at himself.

Zhao Haitang hurriedly asked, "Lao Chu, what do you mean? Do you know why Lu Chuan turned off his phone?"

Chu Shanhe nodded and then explained the incident of yesterday's medicinal materials identification competition.

Zhao Haitang's expression turned desperate. "So Lu Chuan already guessed that you would go blind today. He also knew you would seek his help. He turned off his phone, which only means one thing: he does have a way to cure you, but... he doesn't want to help you."

Chu Mengyao's face also paled slightly, not expecting such a grudge between her father and Lu Chuan.

"If Lu Chuan refuses to help, then my dad is left with no way out."

She looked at Chu Shanhe, and at this moment, she couldn't help it anymore. She threw herself into Chu Shanhe's arms and cried, "Dad..."

Despite the various conflicts between her and Chu Shanhe, they were still flesh and blood relatives. In the face of life and death, those conflicts didn't matter anymore.

Chu Shanhe sensed Chu Mengyao's position by sound and finally reached out to touch her head, gently patting it. "Silly daughter, why are you crying? This is all my fault. It's understandable for Lu Chuan to do this. Luckily, you're already engaged to Long Hao, so I can leave without worries."

Chu Mengyao lifted her head, wiped away her tears, and said seriously, "Dad, I won't let anything happen to you. I'll go ask Lu Chuan now. No matter what it takes, I'll bring him here to treat you!"

Then she hurriedly got up and rushed out of the room.

Jinhu Community.

Lu Chuan had just prepared everything needed to refine the Fusion Spirit Pill.

At this moment, there was a hurried knocking at the door.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Lu Chuan frowned. "Who's so annoying, knocking on the door at this time? It's a good thing I haven't started refining yet, otherwise it would definitely be affected."

Annoyed, he walked to the door, intending to give the person who knocked a good scolding.

But as soon as he opened the door, he froze, then asked, "Mengyao, what are you doing here? Why are your eyes so red? Did someone bully you?"

Chu Mengyao bit her lip, looking at Lu Chuan with a pitiful appearance from crying, which made people unable to help but feel pity.

She walked into the house and bowed to Lu Chuan, "I apologize to you on behalf of my father. I know you're very angry with him now, and he is indeed a hateful person, but I don't want him to leave this world like this. So I beg you to help my father."

Lu Chuan looked baffled.

But soon he reacted and asked, "Is your father blind?"

Chu Mengyao nodded, "The doctor said he's infected with neurotoxins. If he doesn't get treatment, the toxins will spread to his brain, and by then, it'll be too late."

"I know you don't want to help him. You turned off your phone, which shows your attitude. But as his daughter, I can't just watch him go like this."

She hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to say, "If you can let go of your resentment towards my father and save his life, I... I'm willing to agree to any request you have unconditionally!"

After saying that, she seemed a bit embarrassed and turned her head to the side.

Lu Chuan still looked puzzled, but soon he inferred from the words like turning off the phone, resentment, and Chu Mengyao's crying appearance what was going on.

I turned off my phone to refine elixirs, not because of any resentment towards your father!

He wanted to explain, but then he thought that Chu Shanhe was indeed quite despicable, and he deserved this fate.

"However, considering that you, this beautiful daughter, came to me actively to beg, I can make an exception."

He smirked, asking, "Is there any request?"
