As I descended the stairs with Chen Yuanshan, I couldn't help but feel a sense of astonishment and newfound respect for him. Unlike before, I no longer harbored doubts about the authenticity of his words.

"This is the hundred-year Fulong liver, purchased from your junior brother," I said, placing the small oil-paper-wrapped package on the coffee table.

Chen Yuanshan opened the oil paper for a quick glance and nodded approvingly.

"Indeed, it's the hundred-year Fulong liver. How much did your junior brother charge you for this?"

"Five thousand per gram, totaling fifteen thousand for three grams."

"I never expected the price for Fulong liver to skyrocket to five thousand per gram. Did your father give you the money?"

"No, I didn't tell my father about this. I gave an IOU to your junior brother, and I'll pay him back when I have the money."

"Your junior brother is quite stingy. He rarely extends such generosity with the Fulong liver. I didn't anticipate this. Now, let me help you dissipate the Yin and resentment energy on your body."

With these words, Chen Yuanshan walked over to his office desk.

He picked up a copper gourd adorned with gemstones from the bookshelf, removed the stopper, poured half a bowl of water, and then started drawing a talisman using a brush and cinnabar. Holding the talisman between his right index and middle fingers, he circled the bowl three times to the left, three times to the right, and silently chanted an incantation.

After completing the incantation, Chen Yuanshan casually tossed the talisman into the bowl of water. Even though the talisman clung to the water, it spontaneously ignited.

Once the talisman burned to ashes in the bowl, Chen Yuanshan poured the three grams of hundred-year Fulong liver into it.

As he was about to use his right index finger to stir the concoction, I stopped him.

"Let me do this."

I replied to Chen Yuanshan, taking the bowl with my left hand and stirring the contents with my left index finger.

Chen Yuanshan, using his right index finger, continued stirring the concoction, and I couldn't help but find his finger somewhat repulsive. Although my hands weren't exactly clean, I still preferred my own touch.

"You've got it now. This bowl of talisman water mixed with Fulong liver is a divine remedy for your ailment, and it doesn't come cheap."

Chen Yuanshan pointed at the bowl in my hands, offering a word of caution.

Chen Yuanshan's reminder threw me into a moment of confusion, almost causing me to lose grip on the bowl.

After stirring the talisman water with my hand, I took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and then poured the concoction into my mouth.

Contrary to my expectations, the talisman water wasn't unpleasant; it had a sweet taste.

After drinking the concoction with added hundred-year Fulong liver, I felt a warm sensation in my stomach, spreading throughout my body. It was exceptionally comfortable, akin to basking in the sunlight.

"Now, how do you feel?" Chen Yuanshan inquired as I sat on the sofa, not saying a word.

"Warm and comfortable all over," I replied truthfully.

As I spoke, I noticed gray smoke emanating from within me, accompanied by sticky black liquid oozing out of my exposed pores, emitting a sour stench.

"Master Chen, what's happening here?" I nervously pointed at the gray smoke and black liquid on my body.

"Gathering Yang talisman, Fulong liver, and rootless water, combined, have initiated a purification process in your body."
