Chapter 93: Congratulations, the Old Master is Cured
Divine Doctor Xue was powerless?
Gu Chen’s mind buzzed, on the verge of exploding!
’If Divine Doctor Xue can’t handle it, then the opportunity automatically goes to Cheng Yuan!’
’This is bad!’
’If Cheng Yuan really cures Old Master Hu, then with Uncle Hu’s protection, no one in Dongshan Province will dare to touch him!’
"Divine Doctor Xue, you must be joking. If even you are helpless, how could a quack like Cheng Yuan possibly have a solution? Uncle Hu would never let an ex-convict like him run wild!"
Having said his piece, Gu Chen looked at Hu Yidao with pleading eyes, hoping he wouldn’t grasp at straws in his desperation.
However, to Gu Chen’s disappointment, Hu Yidao suddenly bowed deeply to Cheng Yuan.
"Dr. Cheng, since you can discern the true cause of my father’s illness, you must have a way to cure him. I implore you to save my father. Whatever your request, I will do everything in my power to grant it!"
Cheng Yuan waved his hand dismissively. "We can discuss that later," he said in a low voice. "First, get Old Master Hu out of this room! It’s a focal point for Evil Qi, and it’s extremely harmful to his health!"
"Alright!"
Hu Yidao quickly picked up the old master and walked briskly out of the bedroom.
Gu Chen, who certainly didn’t want Cheng Yuan to succeed, said coldly, "Cheng, you’ve got some nerve spouting such nonsense! A Feng Shui Master designed this room’s Feng Shui Formation. How could it possibly be a focal point for Evil Qi? You’re just..."
Before he could finish his words, Gu Chen suddenly shut his mouth.
Because the moment Hu Yidao stepped out of the room, the furrows in Old Master Hu’s brow smoothed out. The chilling sensation around him diminished significantly, and the pain in his head eased by more than half.
"Dr. Cheng—no, Divine Doctor Cheng! You were right! My father’s room truly is a focal point for Evil Qi! He’s not suffering as much anymore!"
Cheng Yuan nodded slightly. "Take Old Master Hu into the sunlight," he said gravely. "I will help him expel the Evil Qi from his body."
"Yes!"
Hu Yidao quickly carried Old Master Hu into the sunlight and looked at Cheng Yuan with expectant eyes.
Gu Chen snorted. ’I refuse to believe Cheng Yuan knows a thing about medicine!’
Divine Doctor Xue’s expression turned serious. ’The fact that Cheng Yuan could identify the focal point of Evil Qi means he can’t be underestimated. Let’s see what his medical skills are really like.’
As everyone watched, Cheng Yuan raised a hand and placed it on Old Master Hu’s wrist to assess his condition.
At the same time, he activated his Double Pupil to observe the battle between the Main Soul and the Residual Soul.
Once he understood the situation, Cheng Yuan breathed a small sigh of relief. ’Thankfully, the amount of Evil Qi in the bedroom was limited. And the Residual Soul isn’t as strong as I imagined.’
’The worst-case scenario hasn’t happened.’
’Old Master Hu can be completely cured!’
With a mere thought, seven or eight Silver Needles flew from his pocket, hovering and circling around his fingers.
Cheng Yuan raised his hand and pointed. The needles, as if equipped with a guidance system, shot toward Old Master Hu.
PFFT! PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!
The seven or eight Silver Needles instantly hit Old Master Hu, piercing into his acupoints!
The tails of the needles quivered nonstop, emitting a low hum.
It was such a spectacular display that everyone stared, dumbfounded.
However, the crowd couldn’t understand what was happening, and for a moment, no one dared to speak.
But Xue Mowen was a true connoisseur. He couldn’t help but exclaim, "Qi-Guided Needle? No! He’s already on the threshold of Divine Needle Control!"
Cheng Yuan grinned. "Divine Doctor Xue has sharp eyes."
Hu Sanqiang asked with a curious expression, "Divine Doctor Xue, is Divine Needle Control very powerful?"
"Of course! Divine Needle Control is the pinnacle of acupuncture in the Dragon Country’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Community! The requirements are incredibly stringent. First, one needs supreme medical knowledge and a profound understanding of acupoints and medical theory. Second, one needs an exceptionally high level of proficiency in the Martial Dao—you must be a Divine Realm Grandmaster to even attempt it! In the entire history of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Dragon Country, only three Medical Saints have ever mastered Divine Needle Control!"
’A Divine Realm Grandmaster?’
’This kid is on the verge of becoming a Divine Realm Grandmaster?’
’But he’s so young!’
’That’s terrifying!’
Everyone gasped. Even Hu Yidao found himself looking at Cheng Yuan with newfound respect. At Cheng Yuan’s age, he had still been struggling to reach the Grandmaster realm, yet here was Cheng Yuan...
Gu Chen’s face went ashen, so filled with regret he wanted to kill himself. ’It’s over,’ he thought. ’It’s completely over for me!’
Cheng Yuan paid no mind to their thoughts. He was in his element as a doctor now, with eyes only for his patient.
With a thought, Cheng Yuan raised a finger and pointed. A gentle stream of True Essence, suffused with a trace of Spiritual Power, shot onto the tail of a needle.
Driven by the Spiritual Power, the vibration of the needle’s tail became more and more intense!
Under the stimulation of the Silver Needles, Old Master Hu’s acupoints and pores slowly opened!
The warm sunlight shone upon his open acupoints and pores. Wisps of Pure Yang Qi were drawn from the light, slowly seeping into Old Master Hu’s body and circulating through his Meridians.
In the process of circulation, the Pure Yang Qi continuously neutralized the Evil Qi.
Soon, the Evil Qi in Old Master Hu’s body was completely neutralized.
The Pure Yang Qi continued to circulate, surging into his Sea of Consciousness!
Aided by the Pure Yang Qi, the Main Soul was greatly invigorated, while the Residual Soul became extremely listless.
In just an instant, the Main Soul suppressed the Residual Soul and quickly devoured it completely!
"Mmm..."
Old Master Hu subconsciously let out a muffled groan, but no one was nervous, because it was obviously a sound of great comfort.
Old Master Hu felt a pleasant warmth spreading through his body, as if a warm current was coursing through him before finally converging in his Brain Domain. The sensation was incredibly comfortable, like soaking in a hot spring, and his entire body felt filled with strength!
Since falling ill three years ago, Old Master Hu had never been in such a good state!
Old Master Hu’s voice became deep and resonant. "Ah Dao, put me down."
"Yes!"
Hu Yidao carefully set Old Master Hu down, cautiously supporting his arm.
Old Master Hu waved his hand. "Ah Dao, I feel great. Let go of me!"
Hu Yidao didn’t dare to let go easily and looked at Cheng Yuan with a questioning gaze. Cheng Yuan smiled and nodded.
"Old Master Hu is in great condition right now and can walk around a bit. However, he has just recovered, after all, so he needs to rest. He can walk for ten minutes at most each day."
"Alright, understood."
Gu Chen, refusing to believe Cheng Yuan had actually cured Old Master Hu, discreetly shot Xue Mowen a look, hoping he would check the old master’s condition.
Xue Mowen understood Gu Chen’s intent and asked amiably, "Master Dao, may this old one take the old master’s pulse?"
"You may." Hu Yidao had no reason to refuse. After all, Xue Mowen was a renowned doctor, and he was certainly capable of confirming whether his father was truly cured.
Under Gu Chen’s anxious gaze, Xue Mowen raised his hand and placed his fingers on Old Master Hu’s wrist, carefully taking his pulse.
Soon, an expression of utter shock appeared on Xue Mowen’s face!
’The old master’s pulse is strong and forceful—not at all like that of a sick person! He’s really, truly cured!’
Xue Mowen offered his sincere congratulations: "Congratulations, Old Master Hu, you have completely recovered!"
Old Master Hu stroked his beard and laughed heartily.
Hu Yidao and Hu Sanqiang trembled with excitement!
Shen Manwen and Hu Duoduo hugged each other in excitement!
"Incredible! Dr. Cheng is just incredible!"
THUMP. Gu Chen collapsed onto the ground. He knew he was finished, completely and utterly finished. He would never escape Cheng Yuan’s shadow.
