"Certainly, certainly," Third Elder Xie Cheng said. Despite his ready agreement, he still fixed his gaze on the Golden Scaled Crocodile, looking as though he wished he could claim it for himself.
"Here's the thing." Su Xuan pulled out his phone and showed the Third Elder a few photos.
"Wow!" The Third Elder finally tore his gaze away, but he froze for a moment upon seeing Su Xuan's phone. "An item from the world below the mountain!" he muttered.
He then narrowed his eyes and began to scrutinize the photos. His expression shifted from indifference to solemnity, and then to excitement.
"This is osteogenesis imperfecta!" the Third Elder exclaimed. He grabbed Su Xuan's shoulders and demanded, "Where is the patient now? Did you bring him?"
"No, I was afraid the journey would be too taxing for him, so I didn't," Su Xuan said, shaking his head. Then he asked hopefully, "Third Elder, you can cure this disease, can't you?"
