Chapter 1514: Chapter 13: Time Is Running Out, Imperial Doctor Wang’s Diagnosis!

National Master Mansion.

The night was getting darker, and the room was brightly lit with candlelight.

The group sat around the table in the hall. Jiang Ning picked up the freshly warmed wine and filled the glasses of the three people present.

At this moment, the cold curse power within him, like fine needles, continued to erode his internal organs.

He still didn’t circulate his Qi-Blood to resist it, allowing the erosion to spread, maintaining only a surface calm.

Then, the three of them raised their glasses and drank together.

After the wine entered the stomach, Xiao Wuque put down the glass and his gaze fell on Jiang Ning’s face.

"Since you have made this choice, you must put on a good show these days."

"I will also spread the word that you have been cursed, and it is eroding your organs."

"But remember, do not be too careless, do not let that curse power harm the foundation. Since you have stepped into the Mixed Element Realm, you are self-sufficient and have the ability to resist the curse!"

Jiang Ning nodded slightly: "I understand. I tried it during the day. If I fully circulate the Mixed Element Domain, I can isolate five or six tenths of the curse corrosion, and with the operation of Qi-Blood, I can suppress the erosion of the curse power."

At this moment.

Lin Qingyi, who was beside him, also spoke: "I can assist with the Power of Taiyin, which has the effect of purification and can dissolve about thirty percent of the curse power."

Upon hearing this.

Xiang Yuan and Xiao Wuque couldn’t help but look at Lin Qingyi. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Princess Consort Qi!" Xiang Yuan had just spoken when he was swept over by Xiao Wuque’s gaze.

He immediately shut his mouth.

"Miss Lin, then I must trouble you!" Xiao Wuque cupped his hands and said.

"The Marquis and I are friends, so assisting him is only naturally right!" Lin Qingyi said.

Xiao Wuque nodded and said no more.

As the Deputy Mansion Master of the Inspection Office.

He naturally knew about Lin Qingyi’s troubles and understood her background.

Therefore, upon entering the National Master Mansion and seeing Lin Qingyi, he had been ignoring her presence all along.

At this time, Xiang Yuan seemed to understand something.

He immediately furrowed his thick brows and slapped the table: "Damn it, which rat in the gutter is using such means? If I catch them, I’ll tear down their mountain gate and Grotto Heaven!"

Xiao Wuque shook his head: "To perform such a curse skill is not the work of ordinary forces. Curse killing involves the path of causality, and in this current age, only a few Cave Heaven Blessed Lands have such related skills and inheritance. They act from the shadows, relying on the protection of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, ensuring that even if the source is found, even a teacher’s intervention is helpless!"

Jiang Ning drank a sip of wine alone, his gaze calm: "No matter. Since they think I’m certain to die, they won’t put in further effort. Once I endure this period, I will slowly settle this."

Hearing these words, Xiao Wuque couldn’t help but look at Jiang Ning one more time, slightly surprised in his heart.

From his tone, he inexplicably felt Jiang Ning was very confident.

This confidence wasn’t about delaying the erosion of the curse power on the organs, but rather possessing a method to solve the curse power.

Thinking of this, his eyes also slightly narrowed.

The power of curse killing was something he had witnessed with his own eyes.

It was a force that even the current Holy Emperor, who ruled the Thirty-six Prefectures of the Nine Provinces, could not contend with.

"Where does his confidence come from?" Xiao Wuque said silently in his heart.

At this moment.

Jiang Ning suddenly stood up.

"Master Xiao, Martial King, you two continue drinking, I’ll go out to greet the arriving guests."

As his voice sounded, Xiao Wuque immediately returned to his senses.

He slowly smiled: "It’s someone from the palace, Brother Xiang and I will go to greet them together."

Hearing this, Jiang Ning glanced at Xiao Wuque, sensing it was not mere politeness, so he nodded.

...

National Master Mansion.

At the entrance.

The heavy door slowly opened.

Four figures appeared before Jiang Ning and the others.

Two were in front, one was a handsome and extraordinary figure, precisely the Eighth Prince Ji Minghao.

One had picturesque eyebrows and an extremely beautiful face, exactly the Seventeenth Princess Ji Mingyue.

Behind them followed the corpulent Chief Manager Hai.

Next was an elderly man with grizzled hair, carrying a medicine box.

"Greetings to Dongling Marquis!" Chief Manager Hai saluted Jiang Ning immediately upon seeing him.

Then, with a slight look of surprise, he also saluted Xiao Wuque and Xiang Yuan.

"Greetings to Master Xiao, greetings to Martial King!"

"Why has Chief Manager Hai come to the National Master Mansion?" Xiao Wuque said calmly.

"Reporting to Master Xiao!" Chief Manager Hai respectfully said to Xiao Wuque, "The Holy Emperor, upon hearing about the Marquis, specially ordered me to deliver three stalks of Nine Revolutions Rejuvenation Grass, and requested Divine Doctor Wang to come for a consultation, to resolve the curse poison."

"Three stalks of Rejuvenating Grass?" A hint of surprise appeared on Xiao Wuque’s face.

At this moment, Ji Mingyue’s gaze fell on Jiang Ning.

"Are you... alright?"

"Very well!" Jiang Ning smiled.

Then looked at Ji Minghao: "Greetings to the Eighth Prince."

"I heard you were cursed, so I brought little Shiqi to visit!" Ji Minghao looked at Jiang Ning and said.

"The news travels fast!" Jiang Ning said.

"News from the Observatory, now many in the Royal Capital should be aware!" Ji Minghao explained.

Jiang Ning nodded knowingly.

Then he cupped his hands in a gesture of invitation, asking them to enter the mansion first.

...

Front hall.

Divine Doctor Wang and others declined Jiang Ning’s dinner invitation.

At this moment.

Jiang Ning also took off his coat, wearing only a white inner lining, then untied the tight lining, revealing most of his chest.

In the candlelight, the muscle lines on the bare chest were clearly visible.

With his every breath, his chest rose and fell.

"Marquis, let me check your current condition first," the elderly Divine Doctor Wang said.

"Sure!" Jiang Ning nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Divine Doctor Wang extended his right hand.

Although his face was covered in an old man’s wrinkles, the outstretched right hand was like white jade, even younger than a young person’s hand.
