“How old is it?” Xia qingchen asked.
The head Imperial physician carefully recalled and said, ” it was a gift from the Northland 30 years ago. At that time, it was still a newborn.
Xia qingchen surveyed the fire Lion for a moment before retracting his gaze.
“What illness did the fire Lion suffer from?” the head Imperial physician asked expectantly.
The three Imperial physicians behind him were also extremely curious.
They had been treating demonic beasts for several years, but because of their lack of experience in treating demonic beasts, they had never been able to diagnose any specific illness.
The imperial family was also very anxious about this and gave repeated orders.
But they were helpless.
It would be great if Xia qingchen could see through her illness.
“A terminal illness.” Xia qingchen calmly spoke.
The three Imperial physicians exclaimed in surprise.
Terminal illness?
Didn’t that mean that the fire Lion was going to die?
It’s finished! The Imperial Academy of Medicine was in big trouble!
“Can young master Xia please tell me what kind of terminal illness it is?” the head Imperial physician was moved.
Even if it couldn’t be cured, he still wanted to ask for an explanation.
“Lovesickness.”
The three Imperial physicians were stunned.
Lovesickness, does that mean that this fire Lion is of mating age?
“The fire Lion needs a mate?” the head Imperial physician was puzzled.
Xia qingchen nodded. MHM, the maturity age of a fire Lion is around 30 years old, which is equivalent to us humans at 18 years old. It’s the time when it’s lusting for a partner. This is why it’s so dispirited and unable to recover.
“But, how can lovesickness be considered a terminal illness?” One of the Imperial physicians was puzzled.
Wouldn’t it be fine to just find a mate for the fire Lion?
“Could it be that there’s a second female fire Lion in the divinebloom Duchy?” Xia qingchen asked.
Only then did they realize the problem.
Female fire Lions could only be found in the North.
However, with their relationship with the Northland, would the Northland give them the female fire Lions?
Obviously not.
“Once a fire Lion is in heat, unless it is satisfied, it will continue until it dies of weakness.” Xia qingchen sighed.
The head Imperial physician’s eyes darkened.
The other three Imperial physicians also sighed.
They could confirm that Xia qingchen’s words weren’t an exaggeration.
This was because they had witnessed with their own eyes that the fire Lion had gone from being healthy to its current state of collapse in just two years.
If this continued, death would only be a matter of time.
No wonder Xia qingchen would say that it was terminally ill!
“Sigh, it’s all fated.” The head Imperial physician sighed.
Xia qingchen thought for a moment and said, ” there’s no need to be too anxious. I’ll get my demon pet to come over and be the fire lion’s companion. As we are both demon pets, the fire lion’s spirit should be slightly better for the time being.
The Imperial physicians were overjoyed when they heard this and were grateful.
Right now, they were all looking at Xia qingchen as if he was a divine doctor.
If it was a coincidence to see through the nine nether thousand year grass in the monarch’s body, it couldn’t be a coincidence to see through the fire lion’s symptoms at a glance, right?
“Divine doctor Xia, I have to trouble you to come to the Imperial Academy of Medicine. This old man only has some medicine on him, I hope divine doctor Xia will take a look.” The head Imperial physician took out a small bag.
There were a few medicines in his pocket.
Xia qingchen took a look, and his gaze flickered slightly.
A few of them were very precious life-saving herbs. As long as one was still breathing, swallowing them would keep them alive.
However, Xia qingchen didn’t care about these things.
What he was concerned about was one of the Jade bottles.
Inside the Jade bottle, there was half a bottle of black liquid.
“A leaf of spring muddy water?” Xia qingchen recognized him with a single glance.
Back then, it was precisely this item that had saved Xia qingchen’s life.
“This is an additional gift from His Majesty to me. If divine doctor Xia likes it, you can take it.” The head Imperial physician laughed.
Xia qingchen never had the habit of taking things from others for free. He continued to sweep his gaze and was slightly surprised. “Deer Bloodstone?” There was also a stone with a blood-colored pattern in his pocket.
The head Imperial physician took out the deer blood stone in shock, “”What’s the use of this item?”
Although he had obtained the deer Bloodstone, he had never known its use.
He only knew that this stone was very special. When it was placed under the sun, it would constantly emit wisps of blood.
I’ll take a leaf of spring muddy water. In return, I’ll help you mix the deer blood stone into a spirit medicine for beasts. It can increase the cultivation speed of demonic beasts.
“The deer Bloodstone has such an effect?” The head Imperial physician was shocked, “one really has to learn as one lives!”
Hence, Xia qingchen concocted the medicine on the spot.
The Imperial Academy of Medicine gathered all the heavenly treasures of the divinebloom Duchy. Thus, the supplementary ingredients were very easy to find.
Four hours later, he had ten blood-red pills in his hand.
Xia qingchen took five of them and passed the other five to the Grand Imperial physician. “With the fire lion’s cultivation, it can only digest five at most! Let the fire Lion have a taste first and see the effect.”
The head Imperial physician sniffed and was half-convinced.
The pill didn’t have any special smell.
The fire Lion had always been very picky about its food and only liked to eat things with the smell of blood.
If the smell of blood was too light, they wouldn’t even try it.
This pill had no taste. Would the fire Lion eat it?
The head Imperial physician couldn’t help but be suspicious.
“Alright, I’ll try feeding it.” The head Imperial physician held the pill and walked to the front of the cage.
Recently, the fire lion’s spirit was low and it usually didn’t pay much attention to people.
He had to be patient and speak in a pleasant manner.
“Fire Lion, listen to me, I have …”
Who knew that just as he approached the cage, before he could even finish his words, the fire Lion that was lying listlessly on the ground suddenly opened a pair of Bell-sized eyes.
At the same time, he jumped up quickly and sniffed hard.
When he saw the pill in the head Imperial physician’s palm, he let out a loud roar that shook the forest.
Its huge body jumped and pounced over.
The huge cage shook violently from its pounce.
The head Imperial physician was in close proximity and was caught off guard. He was so frightened that he staggered and almost fell.
“Great Imperial physician, be careful!” The few Imperial physicians behind him immediately rushed over and supported the head Imperial physician, him away from the cage.
However, the fire Lion seemed to have gone mad. It kept pouncing on the cage, letting out loud roars and roars.
That appearance was as if he wanted to eat someone, causing the Imperial physicians to shiver in fear.
The fire Lion had been tamed a long time ago and rarely roared at people like this.
Even when it was healthy, it had never been like this.
Moreover, it had been dispirited and listless just now. Why did it look like it had gone crazy now?
Looking at the crazy fire Lion, the group of Imperial physicians swallowed their saliva and were at a loss.
At this moment, Xia qingchen, who had his back facing them, was unhurriedly studying the half-filled bottle of one leaf spring water.
When he heard the movement behind him, he said without turning his head, ‘ it wants to eat the pill, but you refuse to give it to it. Do you want it to rush out of the cage and eat you and the pill together? ”
With that, the head Imperial physician immediately realized that the fire Lion was attracted by the pill.
“Yes, yes, pills, pills!”
He hurriedly threw the pill in his palm, which he had accidentally crushed in fear, into the cage.
The fire Lion pounced on the pill as soon as it was thrown into the fire lion’s mouth.
As expected, he immediately quieted down. His four limbs sprawled on the ground, and he began to wolf down the food.
When the pill entered its stomach, the fire Lion was so excited that it rolled on the ground, as happy as a child.
At the same time, it kept letting out happy roars..
