A Mortal’s Medicinal Elixirs

Chapter 79 Respect for the Doctor

At White Summit Estate in Mount Greenford, a three–story bamboo building stood tall. It was the ancestral home of the White Family, covering thousands of acres with exquisite architecture and charm.

In the bamboo building, an elderly man with white hair suddenly sat up from his bed, spitting out a mouthful of blood before falling back onto the bed with pale face. Several men stood by his bed, including Jesse and Jaxson, their expressions changing when they saw the old man cough up blood.

“Father!” Jesse panicked and turned to a black–bearded old man standing nearby. “Mr. Mordred, what’s going on? You said that as long as my father takes the blood fungus, his injuries will heal. But now, he’s coughing up blood again!”

Mordred’s expression turned ugly. He had never used blood fungus before and had only learned about its medicinal properties from ancient texts. He didn’t expect that there would still be other medicinal properties in the blood fungus that would enhance the toxicity of the snake venom. He gritted his teeth and muttered, “Blood fungus is the divine herb of legends. I was careless. I didn’t realize that blood fungus might have other properties that would enhance the venom’s toxicity.”

Jesse was stunned, and he suddenly remembered what William had said that the blood fungus would aggravate his father’s injuries. “Does that mean he is really a skilled physician?” he muttered to himself.

Jesse, what are you talking about?” Jaxson asked, to which Jesse quickly said, “Jaxson, that William guy said that blood fungus would worsen our father’s injuries. Do you think he could heal our father?”

Mordred’s eyes lit up. “Oh? Someone said that?”

Jaxson hurriedly replied, “William is also a physician. Brandon recommended him to me. But…” He glanced at Jesse.

Jesse snorted in response. “Jaxson, call Brandon and ask him if William can come here.”

Jaxson secretly sighed. If it wasn’t for Jesse’s rude words earlier, William would have come to Yamtown with me a long time ago!

Brandon was in the middle of his training, and his phone was on silent so he couldn’t be reached. Jaxson had no choice but to call Diego to ask for William’s hotel room phone number.

Meanwhile, William was also in the middle of his own training when a young man knocked on his door and informed him that someone was calling from the hotel’s phone, claiming to be Jaxson White. William picked up the phone, only to hear Jaxson’s voice on the other end, asking. “Is this Mr. Barrett?”

William confirmed his identity, and Jaxson began with an embarrassed laugh. “Mr. Barrett, I’m calling to apologize on behalf of Jesse. Also, I want to thank you for the gift of the blood fungus. It’s a priceless treasure, and the White Family can’t accept it for free. Please give me your account number and I’ll wire you 10 million.”

William knew that something was wrong with Gerald, so he didn’t hesitate to cut to the chase and state, “Mr. Jaxson, just say what you need to say. No need to beat around the bush.”

Jaxson sighed at that. “I won’t hide it from you. It’s just like what you said–after my father took the blood fungus, his condition worsened. Mr. Barrett, can you come to Yamtown and save my father?”

William renlied. “I alreatiu esid it before—I can’t even unite
