Some of the smaller ones are hopeless.” Jun Mo Xie gritted his teeth: “The bones of three of them have rotten to such an extent that their entire lower body, including their waist bones have completely rusted…. Their death is just a matter of time now…. even a miracle drug won’t be able to save them. Even though they are still breathing, they are practically struggling on whilst at the door of death. However, with unconditional support, they might be able to carry on for about two more weeks, but these two weeks will be very painful and nothing more than pure torture!”
Jun Wu Yi’s clenched his fists; tightly.
“There are several others whose hands and feet have reached the point of necrosis, and their meridians have been completely degraded. They will probably never recover, and will have to lead an abnormal life.” Jun Mo Xie lowered his voice: “Then there are twelve others… if we cut off their limbs and parts below their waist, then they might be able to live on. But such a life….. they will just be alive… not even men or women; just alive.”
Jun Wu Yi held his breath as wave of cold air washed over his face.
“As for the rest, their condition is much better; maybe they weren’t subjected to those jars for long, or maybe there was some other reason, but their deformities aren’t as serious. As long as their bodies are nursed properly, their hands and feet could be broken once, and then grown again with the help of careful medical treatment. In fact, this re-growth could be accelerated with the help of proper medication. Later, we could break off their limbs again, and then we could use Xuan Qi to cleanse and reopen their meridians. After re-growing their limbs the second time, they might be able to recover to a very good extent.”
“However, conducting this treatment for even a single person would cost several million taels of silver, and even that won’t ensure the success of the treatment. In fact, my biggest concern and our biggest hurdle will be breaking their bones twice. We won’t simply be breaking their bones, we’ll also have to ensure that their meridians don’t get affected, and we’ll need to ensure that their meridians continue to flow uninterrupted…. Such treatments are extremely painful, and…..”
Jun Mo Xie’s eyes deepened: “Ordinary people cannot bear so much pain. And even after such a painful medical procedure, their best and most optimistic chance is to be capable of achieving sixty percent of a normal human’s functionality!”
Jun Wu Yi gasped!
Jun Wu Yi had already experienced the medical expertise of his nephew first-hand, and trusted his judgement completely. So basically, even if he was fortunately enough, and was able to save some of these people, even then they wouldn’t be able to lead a normal life, and would still live a life of relative torture and misery!
“If Third Uncle must save them, then I will advise that you be prepared to spend millions of taels of silver in advance by the most conservative estimate; and I’m not even taking into account the cost of the medication post their treatment yet. Even after a successful treatment, the body of the patient will be at its lowest possible functionality, and the physical conditioning of the patient will require expensive drugs, which will be very essential in restoring their physical abilities, and we’ll need to provide them with all this throughout their medical treatment. In other words, just the cost of the post medical treatment is expected to cost fifty thousand taels per head, which is considered an astronomical amount in most other families!”
“Uncle, I hope you don’t take my words to heart? I know that our Jun Family has a very deep and rich patrimony, but you have to recognize the problem here…. as the head of the house. Once you tread on this path, and continue to destroy the other dens of sin alongside, you will receive many such children…. Do you think we will be able to save them all? If you wish to provide salvation to all such children, then I believe that you will need the support of more than just the Jun Family. In fact, even the entire Tian Xiang Kingdom will not have enough power to bear the burden of such an immense financial expenditure.”
“If Third Uncle insists on bearing this responsibility till the end, then there will only be one end result: The Jun Family will eventually be destroyed along with such children.”
“I do not oppose the Third Uncle’s benevolence to do good deeds, but in this matter, you must stop here! You cannot initiate this instance!”
As Jun Wu Yi listened to Jun Mo Xie’s calm and cold-blooded analysis, his face started becoming more and more serious, and a fresh wave of depression started to wash over his soul.
It’s difficult to do good!
Jun Mo Xie sighed deeply. If a family as influential as the Jun Family took the initiative for a charitable cause such as this one in the previous world, and called upon the community to set up a fund, they could have easily esta
