Chapter 109: Seizing Life and Defying Yin and Yang
Liu Wensong’s previously dry and sagging skin began to swell visibly.
His sunken cheeks slowly regained their luster.
Liu Wensong lay in bed, his eyes shining with vitality.
Bai Chen’s movements did not stop; the nine silver needles buzzed softly.
"The Destiny Nine Needles requires using the energy within the body, utilizing the silver needles as a medium to guide the energy into the body."
"Look closely at these nine silver needles; they are inserted at crucial acupuncture points in the human body. Remember this, but also be flexible and adaptable."
As Bai Chen treated Liu Wensong, he explained to Fang Yu and Zhao Ya.
The two listened, seeming to understand yet not fully grasping the concepts.
Fang Yu had learned some medical skills from Hu Lin, and Zhao Ya had grown up surrounded by herbs.
Since ancient times, medicine and herbs have been intertwined, and Zhao Ya had unknowingly absorbed a great deal of knowledge.
This eased Bai Chen’s work significantly, as he no longer needed to teach them about acupuncture points.
Before long, Liu Wensong transformed from someone on the brink of death to someone with bright and spirited eyes.
Bai Chen’s energy continuously surged through Liu Wensong’s aging and blocked meridians.
He also left a ball of energy to protect the important organs within Liu Wensong’s body, preventing them from deteriorating and dying.
This certainly allowed Liu Wensong to extend his life.
However, when Bai Chen’s energy ran out, it would also be the day Liu Wensong passed away.
But this method could only be used once, as aging, sickness, and death are irreversible.
Thankfully, Bai Chen’s energy was not ordinary energy.
It was entirely different from that of a martial artist.
This was what enabled Bai Chen to achieve this.
Soon, the aura around Liu Wensong began to rise.
He advanced from mid-stage to peak level of the acquired stage, and finally, he stepped directly into the innate level!
This left everyone around in shock.
Initially, they thought Bai Chen was just a jumping clown.
But Bai Chen truly possessed the ability to accomplish this!
At that moment, Liu Yunhe was filled with excitement.
He initially hoped just to extend the old man’s life for a few days.
But Bai Chen had actually restored the old man’s cultivation!
This meant that their Liu family could remain the dominant force in Lintai; there was no need to consider a fallback!
After a moment, the trembling of the nine silver needles stopped, and Bai Chen ceased his movements to adjust his breath.
The last thread of energy had been transmitted into Liu Wensong’s body.
This energy is enough to ensure Liu Wensong remains alive for a month.
Bai Chen pulled out the nine silver needles, and Liu Wensong tried to move his body a bit.
At that moment, there was no longer any feeling of impending death; instead, he was filled with strength!
"Doctor Bai! I am incredibly grateful!"
As soon as Liu Wensong got out of bed, he immediately knelt down and bowed his head to Bai Chen.
No one truly wishes to die.
Even though Liu Wensong had shown a bold attitude at the end, he still felt fear and reluctance in his heart.
Especially since he had once come into contact with immortals; he always wanted to understand what this world was really like.
The members of the Liu family changed their expressions when they saw this scene.
Without hesitation, they also knelt down and bowed to Bai Chen in unison.
Bai Chen had practically given their family a second chance at life!
Liu Jiaoxue snatched the Ziling Wood from Ye Tao’s arms and respectfully handed it to Bai Chen.
"Mr. Bai, you must accept this!"
Bai Chen pocketed the Ziling Wood and then looked at Ye Tao with amusement.
"This renowned healer from Jiangnan, shouldn’t you fulfill your promise now?"
Ye Tao’s face turned very ugly as he watched this scene.
The Ziling Wood, which he had regarded as his possession, was taken away from him.
Now, he was being forced to call someone else "grandmaster"? How could that be possible!
Ye Tao’s eyes darted around.
"What promise? I have no idea what you’re talking about!"
Fang Yu, hearing this, suddenly widened his eyes.
"What promise are you talking about? My master’s medical skills are so much better than yours! You have to call him ‘grandmaster,’ and you said it yourself!"
Ye Tao sneered.
"That’s only if he could indeed extend the Liu family head’s life by a month! How can we be sure he can extend it by a month now?"
In reality, Ye Tao knew he had failed this time.
What he referred to as extending life was merely ordinary prolongation.
However, Bai Chen could truly restore Liu Wensong’s cultivation.
In terms of medical skill, Bai Chen was certainly much more capable than him.
But if he admitted defeat here, what would happen to his reputation as the renowned healer from Jiangnan?
Wouldn’t the entire Jiangnan know that he had been outperformed by an unknown young man?
Then the number of people seeking his medical help would drop significantly.
Thus, Ye Tao decided to exploit this loophole.
Fang Yu heard Ye Tao’s words and sneered as he approached him directly.
"My master’s medical skills are well-known to everyone; extending life for a month is a piece of cake!"
"That won’t be seen until a month later!"
Ye Tao clung to this point stubbornly.
No matter what, Ye Tao refused to call Bai Chen "grandmaster," which made Fang Yu grit his teeth in frustration.
Bai Chen looked at the smug look in Ye Tao’s eyes and smirked coldly.
Three silver needles suddenly shot out and embedded themselves into Ye Tao’s body.
Ye Tao felt a numbness spread through him and stood frozen in place, unable to move.
Bai Chen walked up to Ye Tao.
"Whether it’s a month later or a month later, you won’t be able to back out when the time comes; you’ll be begging to come to me."
Bai Chen pulled out the silver needles, and only then did Ye Tao regain his ability to move.
When he looked at Bai Chen again, his eyes were filled with fear.
"What… what did you do to me?"
Bai Chen merely smiled playfully and ignored him.
Ye Tao, now disregarding everything else, hurriedly left the Liu family in a hurry.
He needed to go to the hospital to check if there was anything wrong with his body.
Just now, Bai Chen’s actions had truly terrified him.
But Ye Tao’s visit was bound to be disappointing.
If Bai Chen’s methods could be detected by the hospital, that would be surprising.
After Ye Tao left, Liu Yunhe obediently approached Bai Chen and respectfully bowed.
"Mr. Bai, I apologize for my poor attitude towards you before."
Bai Chen lightly glanced at Liu Yunhe.
"You should apologize to Liu Jiaoxue, not me. I acted only to obtain what the Liu family has; it was simply a mutual benefit."
Hearing this, Liu Yunhe awkwardly looked at Liu Jiaoxue, who still had a red mark on her face from his slap.
"Jiaoxue, I let my Second Uncle misunderstand you."
Liu Yunhe apologized to Liu Jiaoxue, bowing his head.
Bai Chen looked at Liu Yunhe with some surprise.
He had thought Liu Yunhe wouldn’t apologize at all.
After all, the first time he saw Liu Yunhe, he felt this person was a hero among men.
Someone with a hawk-like gaze undoubtedly harbored great cunning.
Liu Zehai, standing nearby, also began to apologize to Liu Jiaoxue.
Watching her Second Uncle and Third Uncle bow in apology, Liu Jiaoxue sighed softly.
"They don’t need to do this; as long as Grandpa is well, that’s enough."
At that moment, Liu Wensong waved his hand at the others.
"You all leave for now; I have something to discuss with Mr. Bai. Jiaoxue, stay."
Seeing Liu Wensong speak, Liu Yunhe and Liu Zehai exchanged glances and stepped back.
Once only Bai Chen and the others remained, Liu Wensong fixed his piercing gaze on Bai Chen.
"Mr. Bai, are you… an immortal?"
