Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality

"Ye Shi?"

Jiang Yuchuan nodded: "I've heard that, of course. The stone sculpture in the center of the lobby on the first floor of your Chamber of Commerce is carved from Ye Stone, isn't it?"

"good."

Linghu Ji continued, "The existence of Ye Stone is of paramount importance to Dali. In the past, the mining of Ye Stone was handled directly by the Dali court. However, more than thirty years ago, a daughter of my Linghu family entered the palace as a concubine and later rose to the position of empress through her connection with the emperor. It was through this relationship that our Linghu family was able to secure the mining rights of Ye Stone when the court was short-handed."

"Since taking over the Ye Stone mining, my Linghu family has been working diligently and has not dared to slack off in the slightest. But in recent years, for some reason, the Ye Stone produced has not only decreased in quantity, but also in quality compared to before."

"The palace has sent many people to investigate this matter, but without exception, no one can find out where the problem lies. Although the emperor hasn't said much about it, his attitude clearly shows his dissatisfaction with my Linghu family!"

Jiang Yuchuan appeared to be listening very attentively.

But in reality, what Linghu Ji said was hardly a secret. Even if it wasn't common knowledge in Dali, quite a few people knew about it.

"Ever since Ye Shi's accident, the entire Linghu family has been extremely busy."

After a moment of silence, Linghu Ji's deep voice rang out again:

"Being so busy, I naturally neglected things at home. Yi'er lost her mother at a young age, so I inevitably spoiled her a bit. Before I knew it, I had raised her to be a little devil. In the whole family, Yi'er only listens to her older brother."

"That's where things got into trouble! Half a month ago, Yao'er stayed at the mine for three whole days because of the Ye Shi incident. Somehow, Yi'er secretly slipped out right under the servants' noses and went to the mine to look for his older brother. But who would have thought that he wouldn't find him, and instead collapsed at the mine entrance. After being rescued, he ended up like this!"

The Linghu family is, after all, one of the four great families of Dali.

The fact that the young master of the manor was able to escape successfully despite being under the watchful eyes of all the servants makes it hard not to suspect that there might be spies from hostile forces within the Linghu household.

However, Jiang Yuchuan did not say this.

The Linghu family must have considered this issue after Linghu Yi's accident, so there was no need for him, an outsider, to interfere.

"Does the Linghu family believe that the young master's condition is caused by contact with Ye Stone?" Jiang Yuchuan asked.

Linghu Ji frowned and shook his head: "I'm not entirely sure either. After all, so many people have come into contact with Ye Stone, so why is it that only Yi'er and those two or three miners had problems, while everyone else was fine!"

"indeed."

Jiang Yuchuan agreed, saying, "If it were truly because of Ye Shi, then the cold, yin energy within the young master and the other miners shouldn't exist at all. For two opposing energies, one hot and one cold, to appear simultaneously in a patient's body, especially in a place like the Ye Shi mine, is hardly a coincidence. It's hard to believe."

Linghu Ji sighed, "What Doctor Jiang said coincides with what I was thinking!"

Just then, Linghu Yao, who had recently gone out with Linghu Xiao, walked in with a solemn expression.

"Father, there's been an accident at the mine!"

"What happened?!"

Linghu Ji stood up abruptly and looked at Linghu Yao.

"A message just came from the mine saying that many miners are experiencing the same situation as my brother!"

As Linghu Yao spoke, he handed the note in his hand to Linghu Ji.

After reading it, Linghu Ji seemed to age instantly, and he staggered back to his seat.

A wave of waves has risen again.

"This is—Heaven is going to destroy the Linghu family!"

Jiang Yuchuan, who was standing to the side, was slightly surprised when he heard the news.

Things developed much faster than he had expected.

Could it be that his appearance disrupted that person's plans, forcing them to act prematurely?

"Dr. Jiang, you must save my Linghu family this time!"

Linghu Ji turned to look at Jiang Yuchuan, his face pleading.

“Patriarch Linghu, there’s no need for that. What exactly happened? If there’s anything I can do to help, I certainly won’t stand idly by.”

Hearing Jiang Yuchuan say this, the Linghu father and son finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, only Jiang Yuchuan can completely cure this strange disease right now. As long as he agrees to help, there is still room for maneuver.

In order to demonstrate the Linghu family's sincerity and gain Jiang Yuchuan's trust, Linghu Ji directly handed the letter in his hand to Jiang Yuchuan.

"There are so many people... this is getting a bit tricky!"

Jiang Yuchuan folded the letter and returned it to Linghu Ji, saying solemnly, "Since things have come to this, I can only speed up the young master's treatment. I will try my best to heal him as quickly as possible, and then go to the mine to treat the others!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Dr. Jiang!"

The father and son bowed and thanked him at the same time.

In order to prevent the condition of the patients in the mine from worsening, Jiang Yuchuan immediately wrote a prescription and asked Linghu Yao to get the medicine and take it to the mine to give to the miners who had fainted.

Linghu Yao dared not delay for a moment. He took the prescription given to him by Jiang Yuchuan and immediately led his servants to the pharmacy. At such a critical juncture, there was no room for error. Therefore, he had to personally handle even trivial matters such as getting the medicine.

After accepting the request from Linghu and his son, Jiang Yuchuan completely cured Linghu Yi in just three days.

Seeing that Linghu Yi, who had been in a coma for more than half a month, had finally woken up, Linghu Ji was finally relieved. After instructing his second daughter, Linghu Xiao, to take good care of him in the mansion, he and Linghu Yao took Jiang Yuchuan to the Yeshi Mine.

Jiang Yuchuan's trip to Dali was originally for Ye Stone, so he naturally went to the Ye Stone mine to investigate the situation as soon as he stepped into Dali territory.

Upon investigation, Jiang Yuchuan learned that the appearance of Ye Shi was actually related to a dormant underground volcano.

The mines and caverns where the jasper was extracted were located directly above this volcano. However, because the volcano was hidden deep underground, it went unnoticed.

When Jiang Yuchuan tentatively extended his divine sense into the volcanic magma, he made a surprising discovery.

The deeper he went into the magma, the higher the temperature became. After a certain point, his divine sense could no longer penetrate it, as if it were blocked by something.

This situation is so similar to what I encountered in the heart of the desert!

Jiang Yuchuan's first thought was that deep within this magma, there was probably a treasure hidden, just like the mysterious stone sealed inside the statue!
