I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 12: It’s a good thing to have a way to go
"That's not a water car... Wait!" Feng Xue's mind was very fast, and he reacted immediately, his eyes burning with anger.
"You mean, after the curse is lifted, my lifespan can be increased, for example... through spiritual practice?"

"Smart!" "Doctor Lan" smiled and clapped his hands.

"Although it's not easy, if you can become a martial arts master within nine years, living another sixty or seventy years won't be a problem. However, how you cultivate is your own business! That's all I have to say. Whether you want to be released or not is up to you. Now, let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the brilliance on Doctor Lan's body from the over-the-shoulder perspective instantly faded, and then, those eyes that were full of extraordinary temperament also instantly became ordinary.

"Cough cough!" After two light coughs, Dr. Lan suddenly fell silent. In Feng Xue's eyes, his calm eyes suddenly showed a clear stupidity like a college student.

After a brief moment of embarrassment, Dr. Lan finally spoke, seemingly having thought of something to say:

"Anyway, this is the situation. I asked Aunt Yuefang to help you because you were really cursed. I usually use modern medicine to treat illnesses and prescribe medicine!"

"I understand, I understand." Feng Xue gave a polite yet awkward smile, then said:
"How much is the consultation fee?"

"I'll charge you two thousand coins for two rootless curses. I'm not charging you two cents, but because if you try to solve them together, and the longer one is solved first, your life span will be shortened." Doctor Lan casually reported a number, but Feng Xue's eyebrows jumped when he heard it.

After all, isn’t this price a bit... too cheap?
Although the purchasing power of currency here is two or three times stronger than that of his hometown, but...

When will it be possible to remove a curse for just a few thousand dollars?
But Feng Xue immediately realized that he had misunderstood. Unlike his hometown and the world of shortened lifespan after he traveled through time, the supernatural here is a prominent school. In such a small county, there are three or four companies doing business openly. In this case, ordinary small problems probably won't be too expensive.

This is the same as the fact that the same pistol has completely different prices in the Flower Growers and the Mili family.

Without thinking too much, Feng Xue directly took out two strings of cash to pay for it:
"Do I need to fast and bathe or something?"

"It's not that complicated. In fact, many of those shaman dances are just meaningless movements. To put it bluntly, they are deliberately performed to make people think that our money is not easy to earn. After all, if you just wave your hand and make a promise, the person who pays will feel uneasy, right? Well, the money is no problem, just wait a moment!"

Doctor Lan verified the authenticity of the banknotes, picked up a cup and pressed the two banknotes on the table, then turned around and went to search the Chinese medicine cabinet. Although this girl looked like she was very agile in climbing up and down, after a few seconds, she took out a handful of herbs, weighed them with a small medicine scale, and clasped her hands together, and the herbs turned into fine powder as if they had been put into a grinder.

"I'll untie the short one for you first. It might be a little choking. Just drink more water and don't hold your breath! And don't gulp too much either. It's not a panacea!"

As Dr. Lan spoke, he took a stick of incense and ignited the medicinal powder. The smoky aroma of the medicine wafted around the consultation table. Feng Xue's over-the-shoulder perspective once again captured the veil-like glow emanating from Dr. Lan.

As she muttered something, the light merged faintly with the smoke and spread over Feng Xue like a gauze dress.

Feng Xue didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he suddenly felt that something had quietly disappeared, and he felt refreshed.

"Okay, tsk, how come there is such a curse that harms others and does not benefit oneself? How badly does one have to be punished to do such a thing?" Doctor Lan pretended to be casual and complained, but Feng Xue suspected that this was also one of the rhetoric techniques in this line of work. After all, this could effectively let the "patient" understand that she really understood this kind of curse, rather than just using some magic trick to get the job done.

Just as Doctor Lan threw the burnt medicine ashes into the basin to completely extinguish it, Feng Xue, who had been thinking for a while, suddenly said, "Doctor Lan, if I want to learn the art of a horse spirit, where should I go?"

"This..." Doctor Lan, who was about to powder the new medicine, paused for a moment, but quickly recovered. While sweeping the powder into a small hill, he said:

"If you want to rely on this practice to prolong your life, I advise you to give up. Chu Ma Xian belongs to the category of witches and sorcerers. The focus is not on the person, but on the family immortals. Without a family immortal that is worshipped all year round, even if you learn the spell, it will be of no use.

"There's also the issue of tacit understanding here. Aunt Yuefang has been worshipped by my family for nearly three hundred years, and I've lived with her since I was a child. If a new family spirit were to be recruited, not only would it not prolong my life, it might even shorten my lifespan due to the conflict between my spirit and my flesh!

"I'm not exaggerating. Of those I know who were the first to welcome the family immortal, few lived past forty. Your lifespan is already short, and I'm afraid you'll die before you even reach adulthood! Oh, that's all!"

Doctor Lan's words were quite serious at first, but as soon as he said "Thank you", the majesty he had just established disappeared again.

However, Feng Xue's attention was not on this at the moment. He was not afraid of shortening his lifespan at all. With [Destiny], his lifespan would not be reduced under unnatural conditions. As for the family fairy, he had a little white snake in his hand that could turn into a family fairy in seconds with just one word. This was a complete configuration!
As for that martial arts training Aunt Yuefang mentioned...

Are you kidding me? Even in this body, he's already in his twenties. With no techniques, no teachers, and no connections, how could he become a martial arts master in nine years? Even a slightly smaller novel wouldn't dare write something like that, okay?

He doesn't even know what the martial arts settings are in this world!

Feng Xue took a breath, feeling unwilling. Although the female doctor didn't seem to care much about money, he still took out a gold bar from the inside pocket of his shirt and placed it on the table.

Seeing this gold bar, Dr. Lan, who was putting money into the drawer, immediately shook his head and said:
"I've already told you it's not about money, it's about your lifespan! Xuan Cultivation itself is about nourishing the spirit and soul with Qi and blood. In your case, you won't be able to survive before the spirit and soul replenish their energy! Just like Aunt Yuefang said, you should practice martial arts. Even if you can't become a master, you can still live for two more years. There's no need to go down this dead end path of Xuan Cultivation!"

Seeing Dr. Lan's firm attitude, Feng Xue could only sigh, but he did not feel desperate at all, and could even be said to be full of hope.

After all, Dr. Lan is not the only "immortal" in this world.

Putting the gold bars back close to his body, Feng Xue stood up, bowed and said:

"In that case, I'll take my leave. Thank you, Dr. Lan, for your help. We'll meet again."

"No, no, it's just a normal doctor-patient relationship."

At this point, Doctor Lan suddenly said seriously:
"By the way, if anyone asks you, remember to say you're here to see a doctor! Got it?!"
