From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor-Chapter 318 - 293: The Buyer Appears

Xue Anliang said again, "After he returned to the country, he did another physical examination, and I accompanied him. The tumor on his liver indeed disappeared. He didn’t undergo surgery, nor could any hospital in North America find his medical records, yet the cancerous growth on his liver vanished, which makes no sense logically. The only explanation is the Innate Scripture."

Xu Chunliang asked, "Do you have the original text of the Innate Scripture?"

Xue Anliang nodded and said, "I copied the information, but he’s very cunning and didn’t keep the deciphered text and the photographs of the dragon bones together. With my ability, I could only decode a small part of it."

Xu Chunliang was overjoyed, truly a case of searching all over only to find it effortlessly. He had always suspected Bai Mushan of embezzling things, and now it seemed it was indeed the case.

Xu Chunliang said, "You probably know that the dragon bones Bai Mushan has belong to our Xu Family. If you return those materials to me, I will spare your life."

Xue Anliang said, "You first detoxify me."

Xu Chunliang said disdainfully, "Even now you dare to bargain with me. Fine, I don’t need the materials anymore, you can leave."

Xue Anliang panicked immediately, "I’ll give it to you." He took out a USB drive and handed it to Xu Chunliang. He had been carrying it with him the whole time.

Xu Chunliang took the USB drive and plugged it into his computer. The drive was encrypted, and Xue Anliang obediently provided the password.

Xu Chunliang successfully opened the files, which contained photos and rubbings. After browsing a few, most seemed to have nothing to do with the "Heavenly Nourishment Chapter."

Xue Anliang thought to himself, even Bai Mushan couldn’t decode all these oracle bone scripts, how could Xu Chunliang have the ability? The itching on his body made it unbearable, but he dared not scratch it. Once the blisters were broken, it would spread even more severely.

Xu Chunliang seemed to have completely forgotten about him, focusing intently on browsing the images.

Xue Anliang mustered the courage to interrupt him, "Mr. Xu, I’ve already given you the materials. Can you help me detoxify now?"

Xu Chunliang replied impatiently, "Go run a few laps on the field to stop the itching. Once I verify the authenticity of these, I’ll detoxify you later."

Having no other choice, Xue Anliang followed Xu Chunliang’s instructions to run on the field. Initially, he just wanted to try it, but soon found that the faster he ran, the more effective the itch relief, so he started sprinting around the field. One lap, two laps, three laps... soon he was out of breath and had to stop.

But once he stopped, the itching became unbearable again, even worse than before. Xue Anliang had to start running again. He realized a terrifying reality; if Xu Chunliang didn’t help him detoxify, he’d either itch to death or die of exhaustion.

Once Xu Chunliang finished browsing the photos, he selected more than three hundred useful ones. Although he couldn’t yet determine if they contained the entire "Heavenly Nourishment Chapter," the harvest was considerable.

There was a knock on the door, and through the door, they could already hear Xue Anliang’s heavy breathing.

After being granted entry, Xue Anliang, drenched in sweat, came in, closed the door, and complained nonstop, "Mr. Xu, please... spare me..."

Xu Chunliang stood up, came to him and handed him a prescription, "Follow this to get the medicine, soak in a wooden tub twice a day, half an hour each time, and in three days, the symptoms will naturally be resolved."

Xue Anliang said, "Three days?"

Xu Chunliang nodded.

Xue Anliang said mournfully, "I can’t endure even one day. Is there a quick way to relieve the itch?"

Xu Chunliang handed him a pill. Without thinking, Xue Anliang stuffed it into his mouth.

Xu Chunliang said, "Why did you eat it?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Xue Anliang was stunned and said, "Isn’t it the antidote?"

Xu Chunliang sighed and said, "It is indeed an antidote, but this antidote is meant for external use. If taken internally, it’s a poison!"

Xue Anliang’s face turned ashen. Even knowing that Xu Chunliang was deliberately toying with him, he didn’t dare to complain, pleading pitifully, "I already gave you the materials, you promised to help me detoxify." The itching on his body was intolerable, and he couldn’t help but reach out to scratch. Whether it was a psychological effect or not, he felt even his internal organs were itching.

He could scratch his body to relieve the itch, but he couldn’t take out his internal organs to scratch them. Xue Anliang even considered opening his abdomen.

Xu Chunliang said, "What do you plan to tell Bai Mushan about today?"

Rendered speechless and on the verge of tears, Xue Anliang said, "I won’t say anything; I’ll pretend nothing ever happened."

Xu Chunliang continued, "The materials you gave me aren’t complete. Bai Mushan must still have some. You have to find a way to help me get the remaining ones."

Xue Anliang said, "I promise, I promise everything."

Xu Chunliang said, "The pill you just took is called the Red Flame Pill, which can suppress the poison of the Waistful Wealth."

Amazingly, Xue Anliang’s itching sensation disappeared instantly, and when he raised his hands, the blisters on them had noticeably shrunk, seemingly fading rapidly. Only then did he realize that Xu Chunliang had indeed given him the antidote, and he was immensely relieved.

"But don’t get too happy too soon; the Waistful Wealth poison activates once a month, for a total of twelve times, and today was only the first."

"What?"

Xu Chunliang said, "This means you need to take a Red Flame Pill each month. After a year, the toxins in your body will be completely eradicated."

Xue Anliang felt a wave of despair; Xu Chunliang was too ruthless. This meant that for a whole year, he wouldn’t be free from his control.

Xu Chunliang said, "You don’t need to worry. As long as you behave, I won’t leave you to die. If you help me find all the dragon bones that belong to the Xu Family, I will give you the antidote. But if you dare to deceive me, you know the consequences."

Xue Anliang glanced down at his hands; the blisters had nearly disappeared, and his body no longer itched.

Xue Anliang said, "You cannot deceive me."

Xu Chunliang replied, "I never lie." Inwardly, he sneered, thinking this guy was barely even human.

"Also, I need you to compile all the oracle bone scripts Bai Mushan has deciphered over the years and hand them over to me."

Xue Anliang pondered that finding those lost dragon bones wouldn’t be easy, but the latter task was simpler. He had been learning by Bai Mushan’s side, and part of his job was assisting Bai Mushan in organizing academic materials.

The phone on the table rang. Xu Chunliang checked the caller ID; it was Mo Han. He pointed to the door, signaling Xue Anliang that he could leave.

Xue Anliang, thoroughly defeated, dared not disobey and left dejectedly.

Answering the call, Xu Chunliang said, "Miss Mo, what can I do for you?"

Mo Han replied, "I’ve saved you so much money, and yet you don’t even treat me to a meal?"

Xu Chunliang laughed heartily, "I only got back to Nanjiang yesterday and planned to get in touch with you tomorrow. A meal is definitely in order—you choose the time and place."

Mo Han said, "See you in twenty minutes at the entrance of the party school." She hung up after speaking.

Xu Chunliang was well aware of Mo Han’s decisive style and knew she wasn’t just looking for a meal; she must have something important to discuss.

When Xu Chunliang arrived at the party school entrance, Mo Han drove up and he got into the car. She handed him a small booklet, which turned out to be a driver’s license—his own.

Overjoyed, Xu Chunliang exclaimed, "You really got it done, Mo Han, you’re incredible."

Mo Han said, "I always put my heart and soul into your matters."

Understanding her implied meaning, Xu Chunliang asked, "So, what’s the second half of that sentence?"

Mo Han said, "I came today to convey President Luan’s wishes. Do you have a dragon bone in your possession?"

Xu Chunliang immediately understood; Bai Mushan was determined to get the dragon bone from him and had found his financial backer, Luan Yuchuan, hoping Luan would buy it. Xu Chunliang nodded, "Yes!"

Mo Han said, "President Luan intends to purchase the dragon bone."

Xu Chunliang chuckled, "Since when did he take an interest in oracle bones?"

Mo Han answered, "On someone’s behalf."

"Bai Mushan?"

Mo Han blinked her bright eyes, silently confirming.

Xu Chunliang firmly said, "Not for sale!"

Mo Han said, "I knew you’d say that. President Luan didn’t insist on buying the dragon bone, just a rub of it."

Xu Chunliang said, "I’m not selling the rub either."

"You won’t even give this favor?" Mo Han frowned, clearly feeling Xu Chunliang was being overly harsh about the matter.

Xu Chunliang said, "If it was just President Luan wanting it, no problem. But if Bai Mushan wants it, I absolutely won’t sell." He recounted the story, explaining how his grandfather’s donation of dragon bones had been destroyed by Bai Mushan and Liang Baxian, and he refused to sell the bones to Bai, regardless of the guise.

Having heard him out, Mo Han found his reasoning understandable. She informed Xu Chunliang that Bai Mushan and Luan Yuchuan were good friends, and Luan had financed Bai’s private museum.

Inwardly, Xu Chunliang mused that Luan Yuchuan was really generous to his friend and had spent a lot on Bai over the years. But no one gives something for nothing; there must be hidden reasons behind Luan’s significant investment in Bai.

Due to Bai Mushan, Xu Chunliang also harbored suspicions about Luan Yuchuan. Like attracts like, and a friend of Bai Mushan’s wouldn’t be of sterling character.

Mo Han said, "President Luan is generous and never puts money above people. Initially, he planned to exchange a villa for your rub."

Xu Chunliang thought to himself that Luan Yuchuan was generous indeed. The villa purchase had initially saved him over six million yuan, and now he was willing to forego the remaining six million for the rub.

The ancients spoke of spending fortunes to purchase a masterpiece, and here was Luan Yuchuan willing to pay millions for dragon bones, yet he ran into Xu Chunliang.

Xu Chunliang didn’t care about the money and didn’t feel indebted to Luan Yuchuan. If not for him, Luan wouldn’t even be alive now—a villa for a life was still too cheap.
