Chapter 435: 435

The masked elder revealed everything about cannabis illness, leaving Chen Yu dumbfounded.

Their ancestors were part of the Red Cross Crusade that journeyed to this place.

In a way, they could be considered royal.

But after leaving their original environment, their bodies underwent a change, and nearly the entire family was afflicted with this disease.

However, with disaster comes fortune, for although they contracted this incurable illness, it caused a genetic mutation within them.

All family members became highly intelligent and to some extent, could see through people’s hearts.

Over time, they used these abilities, derived from the disease, to seize immense power.

In the end, they even became the heads of the Lakatoga tribe.

Even though they had power, they were heartbroken over the disease within them.

But this illness was a variant of leprosy, with no cure in the world.

“Mr. Chen, if the common folk of our family were to see my face, the image they hold of the old man in the mountains would crumble instantly, you must understand what I mean.”

This was tantamount to entrusting Chen Yu with everything.

If Chen Yu wished, he just needed to disclose this secret publicly, and all members of the Lakato family would abandon the elder and leave to fend for themselves.

After all, such an image would be overturning in everyone’s mind.

Chen Yu didn’t say much, but stepped forward and grabbed the masked elder’s wrist.

Though there was no cure for the cannabis illness, according to the medical knowledge in his mind, he could find a prescription to suppress the spread of the virus.

While it might not be a complete cure, it could help prolong life by a few years.

After carefully examining the elder’s pulse, a prescription formed in Chen Yu’s mind.

[System prompt: Current points can be spent to heal the mutation]

Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, as in his understanding, this was an incurable disease.

If the system had a method, then there was no need for him to bother.

Without a second thought, he spent ten thousand points.

Since the change in the points system, it had become increasingly difficult for him to accumulate points, and the ten thousand points he had saved up were all he had.

“Do you have a quieter place here?” Chen Yu suddenly asked.

The masked elder was taken aback for a moment, then immediately led Chen Yu to a room on the side.

“This is one of my secret chambers, absolutely quiet.”

Chen Yu coughed lightly, it seemed the elder had misunderstood his intent; he merely wanted to find a secluded place to treat the illness.

Without saying more, Chen Yu pulled the masked elder to one side.

“Close your eyes, and from now on, no matter what happens, do not move.”

The masked elder hesitated for a moment, then sat there without speaking again.

He had seen Chen Yu’s capabilities before, if Chen Yu had wanted to harm him, he would have done so already, not waiting until now.

Chen Yu took a moment to adjust his breathing, placing a finger on the elder’s forehead, immediately a blue-white light flickered, and his body began to tremble slightly.

The face, full of wrinkles and covered in pus, began to tighten rapidly.

Afterward, the elder’s body visibly recovered at a swift pace, and in just five minutes time, his aged face transformed to look as if he were in his twenties.

Chen Yu was also full of surprise; he had not expected the system’s power to be so formidable.
