Chapter 27 Fourth Grade Dan Pill 2 ” (2/2)

This old head, seriously, don’t he even know he only wants a pathway off the stage? Old Madam Lan starts questioning his husband’s mental state.

“My dear, this grandfather of yours is so dishonest. Just now when he learned of your return he immediately called Granny Sun to retrieve you. But now that you are here, he goes and put on this face. Talk about asking for a scolding.” Old Madam Lan happily explains this to Bai Yan, making sure the girl doesn’t take it the wrong way and leaving Old Lord Lan in an embarrassing situation.

“Uncle, can I see what sort of sickness grandfather has?” Bai Yan turns to Lan Yu and asks.

Lapsing out for a moment, the man didn’t think much of it and simply nodded at the request: “If you wish then please go ahead my dear. We already ran out of ideas for your grandfather’s illness…”

Not delaying after getting the consent, Bai Yan was already up against the bed to give the old grandpa a rough checkup, thus giving her a close idea of the issue.

“Grandfather’s body is deteriorating and his organs are slowly dying. If he doesn’t get treatment soon then he won’t be able to last more than a few years.”

Tensing up in his heart, Lan Yu makes a bittersweet smile: “Its indeed as you say. When I brought some alchemists over to check on father, they all made similar claims and said only a fourth grade Biorestoration Dan pill can save him. However, where are we supposed to find such a precious medicine right now. Even the royal family only has a few in their vault…”

Many years ago the Lan family might have been able to afford such a pill, but after they expended everything to help amass Lan Yue’s dowry with those third grade pills, they are now broke. A fourth grade pill may only have a one word difference, buy the asking price was heaven and earth compared to a lower quality third grade pill. Furthermore, there aren’t that many alchemists capable of creating a fourth grade Dan pill in this kingdom to begin with.

Note: the pill grading system is better as they move up in the ranking. So 1 is lowest and 10 is highest and etc.

First looking at her uncle Lan Yu, then back at her grandmother Old Madam Lan, Bai Yan shyly scratches her nose in embarrassment: “As it so happens I have in my possession a Biorestoration Dan pill, but because it was made by my shifu during one of his practice sessions, the effects are only general. Nevertheless, it should be enough to help grandfather here.”
