Extreme Almightiest Chapter 517: The Method of the Living Bodhisattva

Chapter 517: Chapter 517: The thod of the Living Bodhisattva

"Hello," Leng Hui said as he looked at the ordinary old man before him, said to be the renowned healer Liu Hong. He was taken aback, for he had not expected the Living Bodhisattva to appear so hale and hearty with an exceptionally steady gait. According to what Chen Guisheng had said, Liu Hong had been renowned for decades and should have been an elderly man by now. Yet, he looked so youthful. Unless sothing unexpected happened, it was very likely that his dical skills were as superb as the legends suggested. Otherwise, Liu Hong could not possibly exude such a deanor.

With this in mind, Leng Hui too greeted the man eagerly, with hopes rising. For soone like Liu Hong, a supre expert with dical skills at their peak, basic courtesy was essential. He hoped Liu Hong could save ng Ping’s life, so he dared not be disrespectful.

"No need for idle chat, take

to see the patient," said Liu Hong, glancing at the three individuals who had greeted him. Without further ado, he signaled for them to lead him to the patient. In Liu Hong’s view, curing a patient was a straightforward affair. Once the patient was healed and he had received the Ancient Exotic Jade, any other activity would be a waste of ti and utterly aningless.

Liu Hong had co here chiefly because Yuan Kun had sought him out, owing to a deep relationship with the Yuan family. Yet, that alone was insufficient to motivate him to act. However, when Yuan Kun ntioned that curing this person would earn him an Ancient Exotic Jade containing special Spiritual Energy as a reward, Liu Hong was truly tempted and decided to intervene. As for the other people present, they ant nothing to Liu Hong. Although he was called the Living Bodhisattva, without a unique treasure, he would not be moved to offer his help!

Therefore, Liu Hong couldn’t be bothered to waste ti talking with the crowd; he was solely focused on healing the patient as quickly as possible and cut off any further conversation with a wave of his hand.

"My father, ng Ping, is inside. Please," said ng Liang, delighted by Liu Hong’s words. He too was anxious to see his father’s illness cured and imdiately made a welcoming gesture, indicating that his father, ng Ping, was in the inner room. At the sa ti, he was filled with anticipation that Liu Hong would soon heal his father.

Liu Hong didn’t speak and imdiately strode inside.

ng Liang quickly followed, and Leng Hui and Chen Guisheng exchanged glances before entering the room, curious to see how Liu Hong would cure ng Ping.

After a mont’s thought, Yuan Kun also followed them into the room. He did so not without reason. He was considering the possibility that if Master Uncle Liu Hong needed assistance, he could lend a hand.

Seeing the group hurry in without much conversation disturbed the onlookers.

"Did you see? That’s the Living Bodhisattva!"

"He doesn’t look any different from a regular old man!"

"Exactly, he ignores everyone, even General Leng!"

"What do you know? Great masters all have their own temperants."

...

Upon seeing Liu Hong himself, the crowd started discussing. To them, Liu Hong seed no different from an average old man and had an appalling temper. An ordinary person would have exchanged pleasantries upon seeing General Leng and General ng there, yet not even Chen Guisheng, the esteed Healer, carried such arrogance. They wondered if Liu Hong was indeed as skilled as people claid.

After eting Liu Hong, the crowd felt doubtful about his ability to cure Elder ng, as he looked all too ordinary, lacking the deanor of a true expert.

Once inside, Liu Hong, still without speaking, walked directly to ng Ping’s bedside, sat down, rested a hand on ng Ping’s pulse, closed his eyes, and began to slowly probe ng Ping’s condition with his True Qi.

Seeing this, Leng Hui and the others stood silently, not wanting to interrupt Liu Hong’s examination, and watched on quietly.

But what no one expected was that this waiting would last for over half an hour!

Initially, Liu Hong had thought that an ordinary old man’s problems couldn’t be too serious. However, as he ticulously inspected ng Ping’s internal state with his True Qi circulating, Liu Hong couldn’t help but frown. He truly had not anticipated that ng Ping’s condition would be so troubleso.

First was the varying degrees of decline in each organ within his body. If dication was used, his body probably couldn’t bear it, and more importantly, the afflicted area was in his brain. True Qi had already very carefully probed it, discovering a bruise the size of a fingernail in his brain. The bruise had to be dissolved, but the problem was, ng Ping was of old age and the elasticity of his blood vessel walls was quite poor. When True Qi probed, it almost ruptured other blood vessels on a few occasions. In this situation, it was really very tricky!

dication was too risky, and directly resolving the bruise with True Qi was impossible. This...

Liu Hong was extrely reluctant, once again carefully maneuvering the True Qi to slowly dissolve the bruise, but he couldn’t bear it even after a short while. Such delicate work was far too straining on the mind because ng Ping’s blood vessels simply couldn’t withstand the True Qi swirling inside to break up the bruise. With no other option, he had to temporarily give up on this idea.

With this in mind, Liu Hong again probed ng Ping’s internal condition several tis over, but eventually, he shook his head. The problem with ng Ping now was age-induced blood vessel aging, compounded by the aging of internal organs—he simply couldn’t withstand the force of dication. What should be done about this?

Left with no choice, Liu Hong could only think of one inadequate solution. Although it could cure ng Ping’s current illness, it would deplete ng Ping’s foundation and shorten his lifespan. With this thought, Liu Hong finally opened his eyes.

Seeing Liu Hong open his eyes, everyone imdiately gathered around, eager to learn about the specifics of the situation.

"How is my father’s condition..." As soon as ng Liang saw Liu Hong open his eyes, he imdiately asked what exactly the situation was like. He was very anxious to know if his father’s illness could be cured...

"There are two thods. One is to be conservative, just to maintain the present state, and the other can awaken him, but there are so side effects," Liu Hong spoke directly. He himself hadn’t expected to encounter such a difficult case this ti. Although he could cure ng Ping, it would harm his body. Nevertheless, Liu Hong still hoped that people would let him take action, so that he could take the Ancient Exotic Jade and leave, which was of utmost importance to him.

Moreover, in Liu Hong’s opinion, under the current circumstances, there was no other choice but to let him take action. Thinking that he would definitely get his hands on the jade this ti, he felt a bit more at ease. Although this treatnt might damage his reputation as a Living Bodhisattva, none of that mattered. As long as he could get the jade Chen Guisheng spoke of, it was worth everything!

"This..." Hearing Liu Hong say this, ng Liang was stunned too. He did not expect that the answer from the highly anticipated expert would be like this. He just did not know what the side effects would be...

"Old Liu, I am Chen Guisheng, Elder ng’s chief physician. May I know how you plan to treat General ng’s illness?" Chen Guisheng furrowed his brows at Liu Hong’s words. He, too, had considered thods with side effects but rejected them as they were too risky for him to employ.

"I plan to protect his vital organs with True Qi and use dication to stabilize and restore the elasticity of his blood vessels. After his blood vessels regain elasticity, I will then use True Qi to forcefully break the bruise and clear the blockage in the brain," Liu Hong looked at Chen Guisheng, having heard of his na before. The two people he had cured before had been treated by Chen Guisheng. Although Chen Guisheng hadn’t been able to provide a total cure, his dical skills were already very advanced—he managed to control the patients’ conditions to the extent that was renowned as a national master. But compared to himself, who could use True Qi, he was still greatly lacking.

Upon hearing Chen Guisheng’s doubt, Liu Hong still answered it. In his view, this plan was the only viable thod at the mont, and nobody could find fault with it.

"No! I disagree!" Hearing Liu Hong say this, Chen Guisheng imdiately voiced his opposition. Others might not understand, but he was very much aware that any dication that could quickly restore vascular elasticity was toxic. Although the toxicity was stable, it would spread throughout the body with the bloodstream, accelerating the aging of various organs. Worse, the toxicity of these drugs was irreversible. Such dications were always on his list of forbidden substances, and he would resort to them only in the gravest of ergencies.

Given ng Ping’s current physical condition, if this thod was employed, even if ng Ping was saved, he absolutely would not live beyond a year. Using such a thod was like drinking poison to quench thirst; as the chief physician, he could not possibly agree to this!

"Uncle Chen, what’s wrong?" It sounded like a reasonable treatnt thod, and ng Ping didn’t understand why Chen Guisheng suddenly took such a firm opposing stance. He looked at Chen Guisheng in confusion, hoping he would provide an answer.

"Old Chen, why don’t you agree?" Leng Hui also felt that what Liu Hong said made a lot of sense, and he did not understand why Chen Guisheng suddenly reacted so strongly. He, too, expressed his doubts.

"Do you realize that this thod is essentially drinking poison to quench thirst? Because any dication that can restore vascular elasticity is undoubtedly toxic. Considering Elder ng’s current physical state, if we use this thod, it will definitely damage his foundation. Moreover, even if he is cured, his lifespan will certainly not exceed a year. How could I possibly agree?" The healer’s heart is like that of a parent. Chen Guisheng’s emotions were extrely agitated now; he didn’t want anything untoward to occur to ng Ping. He knew ng Ping’s condition best. Such a thod couldn’t be employed.

"What!"

"One year!"

Upon hearing Chen Guisheng’s words, Leng Hui and ng Liang were both stunned. They had never imagined that Liu Hong, who was initially touted so highly as a Living Bodhisattva, would co up with such a non-solution. If after being saved, ng Ping could only live for one more year, then...
