"The reason it's precious is precisely because its toxicity can be used to counteract other poisons," Lu Fan stated directly.
Not long after, the Lord of Jiangnan City arrived at Tianquan Villa, appearing deferential. "My Lord, do you have any instructions?"
"Do you know of the Blazing Flame Grass?" Lu Fan asked directly.
"Blazing Flame Grass?" The Lord of Jiangnan City was startled. "I have heard of it. This herb is extremely rare, and if accidentally ingested, it can be life-threatening."
"I need to find it now!" Lu Fan declared. "Even if I have to search all of Jiangnan!"
"My Lord, you may not know this, but such a precious poisonous herb cannot grow in Jiangnan. The geographical environment here is simply not suitable," the Lord of Jiangnan City stated directly. "Even if you search every corner of Jiangnan, it will likely be in vain."
"What do you mean by that?" Han Yunhai asked, his face darkening. "Are you saying you can't do it, or that you don't want to?"
"Your subordinate has no such intention!"
The Lord of Jiangnan City was greatly alarmed and quickly clasped his fists. "I know of a place that definitely has Blazing Flame Grass, but..."
"Speak freely, no need to hesitate!" Lu Fan waved his hand.
"Years ago, I heard that the Divine Doctor's Pavilion possesses a Blazing Flame Grass," the Lord of Jiangnan City said solemnly. "However, this herb is extremely valuable, and even the Divine Doctor's Pavilion cherishes it greatly. To get the Divine Doctor's Pavilion to part with it would be harder than ascending to heaven."
"In that case, you shall accompany me!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Lives are at stake. The Divine Doctor's Pavilion upholds the principle of healing the wounded and saving the dying; they surely will not refuse to help."
"This..." The Lord of Jiangnan City looked troubled. "My Lord, you may not know, but the Divine Doctor's Pavilion has always been proud. They might not be easy to deal with. If we go to ask for the Blazing Flame Grass, we must persuade them with kind words and not resort to force."
"Do I need you to remind me of these things!" Han Yunhai shot him a glance. "Does My Lord not know?"
The Lord of Jiangnan City quickly nodded, looking even more wronged. He had spoken up to remind Lu Fan out of concern for him.
After all, he had heard that the head of the Divine Doctor's Pavilion was highly respected and possessed formidable strength. If a conflict were to arise, it would not be worth it.
Led by the Lord of Jiangnan City, Lu Fan and his companions soon arrived at the entrance of the Divine Doctor's Pavilion. Outside the pavilion, a large plaque read "Healing the Wounded and Saving the Dying."
There were many people gathered around the Divine Doctor's Pavilion; they were all there for medical treatment, and they seemed to have great faith in the pavilion's medical skills.
Upon entering the Divine Doctor's Pavilion, they saw many elderly men with white hair. These individuals had strong auras and were expertly diagnosing and treating numerous patients.
"Are you gentlemen here for treatment or to get medicine?"
A shop assistant approached them. "The Divine Doctor's Pavilion is renowned for its medical skills. If you are here for treatment, please wait here. If you are here to get medicine, please go to the front desk."
"I am here to find someone!" Lu Fan smiled. "May I know if the Pavilion Master of the Divine Doctor's Pavilion is present!"
The shop assistant frowned and looked at Lu Fan. The elderly men who were taking pulses also turned to look at Lu Fan. Lu Fan's words had made them somewhat vigilant.
In all their years at the Divine Doctor's Pavilion, no one had ever come looking for the Pavilion Master. Such an inquiry suggested ill intentions.
Especially since Lu Fan had brought so many followers, and even his aura was not weak, it piqued their curiosity.
"Our Pavilion Master does not see guests often," the shop assistant said with a smile. "Please return, sirs."
"Having traveled so far, how can we leave so easily?" Han Yunhai smiled. "We just have something to discuss with the Pavilion Master. Why are you, a mere shop assistant, being so evasive!"
As the shop assistant was about to speak, an elderly man nearby chuckled. "Gentlemen, you have traveled a long way, and it is our Divine Doctor's Pavilion that has failed in its hospitality. Why not rest here for a while and have lunch later!"
"To be frank, we have a request this time," Lu Fan said with a light laugh. "Please inform the Pavilion Master."
The elderly men remained calm, not taking Lu Fan's words too seriously. After all, everyone who came to the Divine Doctor's Pavilion had a request; they were accustomed to it.
However, not everyone was qualified to see the Pavilion Master. The Divine Doctor's Pavilion had seven Grandmasters, seven peerless physicians, whose fame spread throughout the Dragon Country.
Seeing that the elders remained silent, Lu Fan frowned. It seemed the Divine Doctor's Pavilion did not intend to entertain them.
However, just then, an elderly man walked out from the pavilion's courtyard. "What is happening?"
"Divine Doctor Qian, someone wishes to see the Pavilion Master!"
The elderly men clasped their fists, exuding a sense of pride. Qian Qiuzi was one of the seven divine doctors and a Grandmaster. If anyone dared to cause trouble, they would surely be dealt with swiftly.
Qian Qiuzi frowned and looked at Lu Fan and his companions. Upon seeing Lu Fan, he couldn't help but show surprise.
"Divine Doctor Qian, I hope you are well," Lu Fan said, cupping his fists.
On that day, at the battle by Qingzhou Lake, Lu Fan fought against four Grandmasters, one of whom was the Qian Qiuzi before him.
"So it is Lord Lu!" Qian Qiuzi quickly clasped his fists. "The Divine Doctor's Pavilion is truly honored to have Lord Lu personally visit. If not for Lord Lu's mercy that day, I would likely have been a dead man by now!"
The people of the Divine Doctor's Pavilion were astonished and looked at Lu Fan. They had not expected this ordinary-looking young man to be the renowned Lord Lu.
"Divine Doctor Qian, you flatter me," Lu Fan waved his hand and smiled. "If I didn't have a difficult situation, I would never have come!"
"Please state your request, Lord Lu. If the Divine Doctor's Pavilion can help, we will not refuse," Qian Qiuzi said seriously.
Lu Fan, having become a Grandmaster at such a young age and being famous, was someone the Divine Doctor's Pavilion would benefit from associating with. He saw this clearly.
"A relative of mine has been poisoned, and the toxins have already entered his lungs. I heard that the Divine Doctor's Pavilion possesses a Blazing Flame Grass, which can be used to counteract the poison," Lu Fan's expression turned solemn. "I have come today for this herb!"
"Blazing Flame Grass?" Qian Qiuzi frowned. "This is a rare treasure. Even the Divine Doctor's Pavilion likely has only one."
At this point, Qian Qiuzi's brow furrowed, showing a look of difficulty.
"Since I have come to ask for it, I will not give up," Lu Fan said earnestly. "No matter what the Divine Doctor's Pavilion requires, I can trade for it!"
"Lord Lu is well-known, and we naturally trust you," Qian Qiuzi said solemnly. "However, the Blazing Flame Grass is a treasure of the Divine Doctor's Pavilion. Although I am one of the seven divine doctors of the Divine Doctor's Pavilion, I do not have the authority to give away the Blazing Flame Grass."
"The Divine Doctor's Pavilion is meant to heal the wounded and save the dying. Now, a life is at stake, and it's just an herb. Is it really this difficult?" Han Qiushui interjected.
"Do not be disrespectful!" Lu Fan commanded. "The Blazing Flame Grass belongs to the Divine Doctor's Pavilion. Since we have come to seek it, how can we act like this."
Han Qiushui reluctantly stepped aside. Although unwilling, since Lu Fan had spoken, he dared not act rashly.
