162 Lunaite Disease (1/2)
”What is happening here?” The moment Zin Shi heard a voice asking for help, she immediately went forward and saw a woman with a child lying on an emergency stretched bed.
The child seemed like he was having difficulty with breathing and had red marks all around his body as if it was an allergic reaction. However, one glance and an expert master physician already knew that this was not something with just an allergic reaction.
”Miss... miss... are you a master physician too?” The woman, probably in her 30s, went up and asked Zin Shi with a flash of hope. However, when she realized that Zin Shi was too young to be an expert master physician, her eyes with hope gradually turned cold and said, ”I need an expert master physician. I am willing to pay any price! Just... just save my son!”
”Ma'am, I have already told you that your son cannot be saved anymore and only have several days to leave. I already did you a favor of prolonging his life for days.” A middle-aged bald man wearing clean white robe suddenly intervened into their conversation in a tone of arrogance.
”Senior Liu?” Zin Shi was shocked when she saw the one who talked just now. He was a senior and said to be the most promising candidate to hold the position of guild master for the next coming election. Senior Liu was a qualified 7-star master physician. But she was very wary of this man since her grandfather, Kam Shi, had told her that this man was a very crafty fox that should not be underestimated. He was the type of man that liked to control others with his plans, playing them on the palm of his hand.
”Little Zin, you're back.” Senior Liu smiled and feigned ignorance as if he had not seen her yet, ”Where is Kam Shi?”
”He...” Zin Shi stuttered and struggled. However, only one word came out of her mouth when someone asked where was her grandfather.
”No need to answer it anymore.” Senior Liu said with a flash of a smile appeared on his face, ”Just by judging from your expression, something must have happened so I won't pry any further.”
He paused for a moment and continued, ”This woman asked me to save his son a while ago. But you know that when a person has a lunaite disease, it is impossible to be saved unless it was not the terminal stage. In fact, even you are lucky enough to know that you have this disease, you will still die after a few years, and that's already given.”
”Lunaite Disease?!” Zin Shi could not help but be shocked.
Lunaite Disease, this was one of the diseases existed in this world that had yet to find a cure. Not to mention this disease was deadly and will surely kill its victim, it was said that it could stop its victim from cultivating. Many expert 8-star master physicians had already succumbed themselves into researching a cure for this Lunaite Disease. In fact, even a legendary 9-star master physician had joined the fray just to help them fasten the research. However, their hard work did not bore fruit, leaving the world in disappointment. However, it was also understandable. After all, the disease was not something you should belittle. To add more fact, you cannot notice if you have this kind of disease until it reached its terminal stage. Even with an eye of an 8-star physician, this was still impossible. For the 9-star expert master physician, there was a 50/50 that he or she could discern it. And no one had ever discovered where this disease could get from.
As of now, the expert master physicians had only a single way to save someone from this disease, and that was to prolong their lives by several days or weeks, and if lucky, months.
