After hearing his explanation, I took a brief pause and ventured to ask, "After a century, that peony's surely gone by now, isn't it?"

Surprisingly, he said, "It should still be there."

I was stunned.

He continued, "Well, my old house has turned into a well-known tourist spot, Longriver Park, now. It should be pretty well preserved."

The live broadcast viewers erupted into excitement once again!

Netizen 1: [Oh my god! His house turned into a tourist spot? He's gotta be from some kind of royal lineage, right?]

Netizen 2: [His family left for abroad last century, and his last name's Kim. He's gotta be from a royal family, right?]

Netizen 3: [Jeez! Using porcelain for a flower pot? His family must have some serious clout.]

Amidst the flurry of exclamations from the online community, the voice of Bruce resonated once more.

He asked, "What kind of rune should I pray for in my situation?"

"Don't worry. Your current location might not be suitable for this rune yet," I replied.

"Can my illness be cured?" he asked hopefully.

I smiled, knowing the answer. "It can, but it depends on the choice you make."

"A choice?" he echoed.

"Yes, you need to decide between the flowerpot or your life," I stated calmly.

He murmured, "What's the connection with the flowerpot? Anyway, it's a family heirloom!"

I smiled serenely and stated with composure, "That is a national treasure, too."

Noticing the hesitation in his eyes, I offered my suggestion. "Look, if you're still unsure, how about we try this?

"I'll start by crafting the rune. Meanwhile, you should take out the cherished flower pot. Fill it with soil. Pay close attention to how you feel tonight. If there's improvement, we'll discuss next steps in the livestream tomorrow night at the same time."

After considering my suggestion, Bruce gave a reluctant nod.

With deft fingers, I pulled out the yellow paper from my bag. With my brush, a rune came to life.

"The rune for tonight is on its way. See you in the livestream tomorrow night, same time!"

I announced with a smile, ending the session by turning off the microphone.
