Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor

3235 Ancient Jade

The flames were burning under the tub and the rise rose upwards. The water in the tub was so hot that steam rose from it. As soon as the man was lowered into the tub of water, his pale body turned red.

Patriarch Qin told everyone else in the courtyard to leave, leaving only himself, his eldest son, the steward and two servants. As he looked at his son in the bathtub, Patriarch Qin was heartbroken and his heart skipped a beat.

If it had been an ordinary wooden barrel, it would have been destroyed by the flames below it. However, this bathtub was not made out of ordinary trees, and the fire below was not burning openly, but half-exposed at some distance away.

Feng Jiu watched from the side, and after a while, she stood on a chair and leaned over the bathtub as she administered acupuncture on the Second Young Master Qin who was sitting in the bathtub to rid his body of the evil spirit.

Feng Jiu went into the room to check on him again, then she took another pill out and stuffed it into his mouth and asked: “Patriarch Qin, do you have any ancient jade in your house?”

“Ancient jade?” Patriarch Qin was startled. He thought for a while, then said: “My Ancestors did leave behind some jade pendants that could be ancient jades, but I’m not sure if the age of them can be regarded as ancient.” He paused, then continued speaking: “Tell you what! I will go and fetch it for Ghost Doctor to take a look at.” He thought that the Ghost Doctor wanted it, and that if she wanted an ancient jade, he could find some for her. After all, she did treat his son.

Therefore, after he saw that the colour had returned to his son’s face and he appeared to be better, he hurried to fetch those jade pendants back for the Ghost Doctor.

The Eldest Young Master and Feng Jiu were the only ones left in the room guarding the Second Young Master. He glanced at Feng Jiu and asked: “Ghost Doctor, after this, will my younger brother not be infiltrated by evil spirits again in the future?”

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu smiled lightly: “No, this will just help to get rid of the evil spirit in his body. As for preventing evil spirits from entering his body in the future, it depends on whether your Father can bring me a useful ancient jade.”

“Why is that?” He was a little surprised. He thought that she wanted the ancient jade for herself, but it didn’t seem that way from what he heard now.

“Some ancient jades have the effect of warding off evil spirits. They can also prevent evil spirits from approaching and play the role of protecting the body.” Feng Jiu explained. Then, she picked up her crutch and walked over to the table and sat down. She poured a cup of tea and drank it.

Not long after, Patriarch Qin returned with a tray full of jade pendants and placed it in front of Feng Jiu saying: “Ghost Doctor, please take a look. Is there any that Ghost Doctor likes?”

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu was startled and realised that he had misunderstood her. So she smiled and said: “Patriarch Qin, I don’t want the ancient jade, it is for Second Young Master to wear.” She briefly explained it to him and smiled at his apologetic expression: “It’s just that although these jade pendants are old, they are not good enough.”

“The best jade is warm in the winter and cool in the summer, there are also jades that radiate warmth all year round, as well as jade with great spirituality. Your jade pendants are not suitable and don’t have much use.” She shook her head and pushed the tray to one side.

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Qin couldn’t help but feel a little anxious: “Then what should I do? The type of jade pendants that Ghost Doctor mentioned are extremely difficult to find, I’m afraid that I will not be able to find such ancient jades at this time. Even if there is one, it will be kept in someone’s collection and will not easily be shown to others.”
