Chapter 1039: Chapter 543: Leave It to Me (Part 2)

Summoning the subordinates of the White Cloud Sect, Gu Sheng inquired if there were any residents here.

He learned that the Great Elder of the White Cloud Sect lived here, and Gu Sheng couldn’t help but pinch his brow.

He originally intended to use this room for alchemy, but it turned out to be the Great Elder’s courtyard.

If it were someone else’s place, he could negotiate, but being the Great Elder’s, it seemed impossible.

Just as he was feeling disappointed and preparing to find another place, a voice suddenly emerged from the courtyard.

"Young friend, please stop."

Upon hearing the voice, Gu Sheng’s footsteps came to a sudden halt.

When he turned to look, he saw the Great Elder appearing behind him unknowingly.

Seeing the Great Elder, Gu Sheng respectfully greeted him.

"I am Gu Sheng from Stone Village, paying respects to the Great Elder of the White Cloud Sect."

The Great Elder, seeing his modesty and politeness, nodded with satisfaction.

"No need to be so courteous; you are guests of the White Cloud Sect, so feel free."

While speaking, the Great Elder’s gaze was fixed on Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng maintained his respectful stance, standing straight for the Great Elder’s scrutiny.

After a while, the Great Elder stroked his beard.

"From what I understand, the young friend saved our Young Master?"

"I merely lent a hand, hardly a rescue; it was the benevolence of Young Master Bai that acknowledged it as a life-saving grace."

The Great Elder was exceedingly satisfied with the response.

Gu Sheng exuded righteousness with no trace of evil qi, and his spiritual energy was ample, upright in character. In the elder’s eyes, Gu Sheng was already a rising star among the younger generation.

"Young friend, did you come here for something?"

After some consideration, Gu Sheng spoke his mind.

Upon hearing his intent to use the courtyard for alchemy, a hint of surprise flashed in the Great Elder’s eyes.

"Are you saying you can heal our Young Master’s leg?"

"I can give it a try."

"You know medicine?"

"I know a bit."

Gu Sheng’s words were watertight, neither denying nor confirming, but his presence made him believable.

After carefully considering for a long time, the Great Elder said: "Since it’s for the Young Master, you may use this courtyard."

"Would that be too much trouble for the Great Elder?"

"There’s no trouble at all; the Young Master is the future of the White Cloud Sect and the hope of the entire Jianghu. If you can save him, I wouldn’t mind giving up this courtyard or even being expelled from the White Cloud Sect!"

"Thank you, Great Elder."

Seeing Gu Sheng express his gratitude sincerely, the Great Elder patted his shoulder.

"It should be me thanking you. If you truly can heal our Young Master, I will give you a significant gift."

"No..."

Gu Sheng hadn’t finished refusing before the Great Elder patted his shoulder again.

"No need to be polite with me. I intend to give you something not necessarily precious, as I understand that gold and silver are not the highest of treasures for someone your age."

After some thought, Gu Sheng chose not to speak further.

He hadn’t started the treatment yet, so it was too early for certain promises.

After their conversation, the Great Elder vacated the courtyard.

He left, but he had provided Gu Sheng with many medicinal herbs, even some long-held treasures.

Gu Sheng carefully browsed through them, selecting two items and putting the rest away.

As evening approached, Shi Lou and others hurried over, their eyes shining, and said, "Brother Sheng, all the herbs are ready!"

"Where is Lan Yao?"

"Still in the guest room."

"The Great Elder has given us this courtyard; go and move all the things over and let him prepare the medicine here."

Understanding his intention, Shi Lou and the others quickly complied.

Lan Yao, upon arrival, couldn’t help but praise the place multiple times.

"No wonder this is where the Great Elder resides; the spiritual energy and sun and moon qi are indeed abundant—truly a good place."

"That’s exactly why I chose this spot. Follow my method for brewing the medicine; the timing and control of the heat are crucial. I will first go to Young Master Bai’s place; come find me after the medicine is ready."

Although he still couldn’t feel anything in his leg, warmth surged within, something even the doctors couldn’t achieve.

Just as he was about to speak, Gu Sheng raised his hand.

"Don’t speak; don’t let out a single breath of spiritual energy until it’s over."

Hearing this, Young Master Bai dared not act rashly and quietly cooperated with the treatment.

For a full hour, Gu Sheng finally withdrew the needles.

As he finished, Lan Yao brought in the medicinal soup.

"Young Master Bai, drink the medicine."

Young Master Bai took the bowl of medicine, tilting his head back to down it.

"After drinking the medicine, rest well; I will come at this time daily for the next few days."

Understanding his intent, Young Master Bai nodded.

Over the next two days, Gu Sheng followed this routine at the same time, repeating the first day’s procedure.

After three days, he finally added Spirit Grass to Young Master’s medicinal soup.

As the Spirit Grass began to take effect, the entire courtyard erupted with a surge of spiritual energy, and everyone fixated on the pot.

Soon, the previously black medicinal soup turned golden under the influence of spiritual energy.

Everyone marveled, "It’s truly remarkable; indeed, Spirit Grass is extraordinary."

Lan Yao turned to Gu Sheng, her eyes sparkling, and asked: "Gu Sheng, with the Spirit Grass, can Young Master Bai fully recover?"

"Starting today, there should be improvements. If he recovers as I planned, he will certainly be healed within three days. If not, his leg will still be saved, albeit with a slight limp."

Hearing this, everyone felt a mix of joy and worry.

"Then let’s give it a try! No matter what, saving the leg is better than losing it!"

Lan Yao said, and everyone agreed with nods.

Lan Yao carried the bowl of medicine, and everyone headed towards Young Master Bai.

Sure enough, at night, the light in his room remained off.

Seeing the slightly lonely shadow inside, Gu Sheng sighed helplessly.

"Three days have passed; he must feel burdened."
