"Is this the Dongfang Family's grandeur? It seems rather unimpressive!"
Zhang Yang's voice carried arrogance and a sense of superiority, instantly drawing the focused gaze of Xiao Yi and the others.
There stood a man dressed in garish clothes, with a palm-sized Buddha amulet around his neck, a string of shiny black Buddha beads in his left hand, and in his right hand he held a flag that read: "Miraculous Hands Rejuvenation Skill, the dicine that won't let you die!"
Accompanying him was a young man, his face brimming with flattery: "Mr. Liu speaks the truth, our Dongfang Family's estate has indeed been constructed many years ago and has certainly aged a bit!"
Dongfang Mu's face darkened as he said in a low voice, "Dongfang Qing, what are you doing?"
The Dongfang Family was one of the four major noble families.
The magnificence and luxury of their estate were top-ranking throughout the Great Qian Dynasty. When had they ever been humiliated like this?
The young man was startled, looking up to see Dongfang Mu looking at him with an angry expression. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Dongfang Qing pays his respects to the Second Elder!"
Dongfang Mu glanced at Mr. Liu and asked with a gloomy face, "What's the aning of this?"
Dongfang Qing hurriedly replied, "Second Elder, please keep your voice down, we wouldn't want to anger Mr. Liu. He is a reclusive expert whom I managed to find with great difficulty, a sacred hand in the field of dicine, capable of returning the dying to life, nding flesh and bones, rejuvenating with miraculous hands. There's no ailnt in the world he can't cure!"
Dongfang Mu: "..."
Xiao Yi: "..."
The crowd: "..."
Returning the dying to life, nding flesh and bones, an ailnt-free world.
Such titles were quite resounding!
"Hmmph!"
Mr. Liu let out a displeased snort, tapping his flag against the ground, producing a thudding sound, "Dongfang Qing, ti is extrely precious to . Aren't you going to take to see the patient?"
"Please wait a mont, Mr. Liu. I'll take you there imdiately!"
Dongfang Qing hastily responded and led Mr. Liu forward, saying, "Second Elder, this Mr. Liu, the miraculous healer, is indeed powerful. I personally witnessed him reviving soone from the dead."
Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow, seemingly intrigued by Liu the miraculous healer: "He can even revive the dead?"
"Doubtful?"
Liu the miraculous healer swept his indifferent gaze over Xiao Yi and the rest, with a slightly raised chin he haughtily said, "But how could you ordinary mortals possibly comprehend the wonders of such a lost art? As long as I take action, there is no disease that cannot be healed!"
Xiao Yi revealed an amused expression: "Does the gentleman possess such abilities?"
"Naturally!"
Liu the miraculous healer snorted coldly, pridefully adding, "Have you ever heard of the last chief Imperial Physician of the Imperial Pharmacy, Mr. Bian Yihong?"
"Uh…"
Xiao Yi was taken aback, glancing at Bian Yihong standing beside him with an equally puzzled expression, and said with a smile, "I have heard of him, but I've never t the man himself!"
Dongfang Mu, Ye Heng, and the others wore expressions of disbelief.
Bian Yihong was right beside them; how could Xiao Yi say he never t him?
Liu the miraculous healer held his chin high, full of pride as he said, "I won't hide it from you, Bian Yihong and I co from the sa master. He is my senior brother. However, his dical talent was so poor, he failed to inherit the master's mantle and was expelled from the sect. I, on the other hand, was the apple of our master's eye and received his true heritage. In terms of dical skill, a hundred Bian Yihongs couldn't compare to !"
Xiao Yi and the others looked at Bian Yihong with peculiar expressions.
Bian Yihong's face twitched, and he rolled his eyes inwardly, thinking: "When did I have such an experience?"
Liu the miraculous healer sighed and continued, "Actually, my senior brother's dical skills are just passable! Though he's far from my level, he's enough to be the chief Imperial Physician of the Imperial Pharmacy!"
Xiao Yi struggled to stifle a laugh and asked, "May I know who your master is?"
"My master is a reclusive expert, beyond the reach of your level. However, I can let slip that our lineage is under the tutelage of the venerable Wind Thunder," Liu the miraculous healer declared proudly, puffing out his chest. "Master once said that my dical talent is comparable to that of Wind Thunder's own master. With my current dical expertise, there is no one in the vast Qingtian Realm to match ; it is indeed the lonely plight of a great master. Oh well… such loneliness and solitude are well beyond the grasp of you ordinary mortals!"
Xiao Yi: "..."
The crowd: "..."
Dongfang Mu's face was ashen.
He had already concluded that this man before them was most certainly a fraud.
And that wasn't all...
The most blatant giveaway was Liu the miraculous healer claiming Bian Yihong was his senior brother.
Can't you see Bian Yihong right there, giving you a forlorn look?
Liu, seeing everyone's eyes on him, wore a look of smug satisfaction and said, "Well, I have already wasted enough ti here, so hurry and bring to the patient! But let make it clear beforehand, my fees are quite steep!"
Dongfang Qing hurriedly responded, "Rest assured, Mr. Liu, we will et whatever conditions you propose!"
Dongfang Mu, with a dark expression on his face, was about to expose Liu, but then Xiao Yi shook his head at him.
With a playful tone, Xiao Yi said, "Second Elder, today we are fortunate enough to witness the disciple of Mr. Bian, the successor of the renowned Wind Thunder. It's a rare opportunity to see him in action. Could we possibly observe from the sidelines?"
Dongfang Mu's mouth twitched. Observe his technique, huh? You just want to watch him show off, don't you?
He coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Liu, what do you think about this..."
Liu feigned difficulty, then took on an air of mystery: "Allowing you to observe is not a problem, but my profound dical skills might be too complex for you to understand. Moreover, my deep knowledge of dicine cannot be disclosed lightly, so you will have to pay a hefty tuition fee!"
Dongfang Mu suppressed the urge to hit him and said, "No problem, we will pay this fee along with the visiting fee!"
"That's very good!"
Liu nodded in satisfaction.
The group then entered into the Dongfang estate.
Monts later.
They saw Dongfang Jin, whose complexion was slightly pale, yet he moved like a dragon and a tiger, showing no sign of ailnt.
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly as he assessed Dongfang Jin and realized with understanding, "It seems there's a force of Dharma Manifestation clinging to his body, which conceals the abnormality of his dantian. This must be the work of that old ancestor from the Dongfang Family!"
"Big brother!"
Dongfang Mu helped Dongfang Jin to take a seat.
With respect, Dongfang Qing said, "Elder!"
Yang Ling also bowed to Dongfang Jin, for even as a prince he must show the courtesy due to a junior when facing such a stalwart of the Dharma Manifestation Realm, "Elder Jin, it has been a long ti since we last t. I hope you've been well!"
"Why, it's Prince Yang Ling. Indeed, it's been so ti. Please forgive for any lack of hospitality!" Dongfang Jin said with a cheery deanor.
Yang Ling replied with a smile, "You are too kind, Elder Jin!"
Dongfang Mu gestured towards Xiao Yi as he introduced, "Big brother, this is the head of the Xiaoshanhe Institute, Xiao Yi!"
"Oh? Head Xiao, I've long admired your great reputation, and indeed, seeing is believing, a true case of a young hero!" Dongfang Jin's deanor towards Xiao Yi was obviously much colder, and his eyes held a trace of animosity.
After all, he was the one crippled by Xiao Tianjiao.
How could he possibly show a friendly face to soone from the Xiao Family?
Dongfang Jin's gaze swept over the attendees and, upon seeing the forlorn Bian Yihong, his eyes lit up with interest, "Mr. Bian, what brings you here? Have you perhaps thought of a way to assist this old man?"
Bian Yihong replied with a wry smile, "Elder Jin, I am incapable and have thought of no solution."
"This…"
Dongfang Jin's face fell slightly, but then he shook his head with a bitter smile, "It's not your fault, Mr. Bian..."
At that mont.
Dongfang Qing spoke up, "Elder, I have invited a distinguished hermit on your behalf, claiming he has the ans to cure you!"
"Oh?"
Dongfang Jin's eyes brightened as he looked towards Liu, "And who might you be?"
Liu cleared his throat and said with arrogance, "I am Liu, the most outstanding successor of the Wind Thunder lineage. Surely, I am not yet famous as I have just left seclusion. But you must have heard of my senior brother, Bian Yihong!"
"What did you say?"
The smile on Dongfang Jin's face froze as he looked at Liu, "Your senior brother is Bian Yihong?"
Liu, with chin held high, asserted, "Correct, though my senior brother's natural talent in dicine is diocre compared to mine, which is why our master expelled him long ago. As for , I have fully inherited my master's true teachings..."
"Wait, hold on a mont!"
Dongfang Jin frowned and pointed to Bian Yihong, asking, "Do you recognize him?"
"With my status and position, how could I possibly recognize so obscure individual? This person is simply an admirer of my great na, coming here to witness my profound dical skills!"
Liu glanced at Bian Yihong curiously and added, "Oh? But from what you're saying, Elder Jin, you also share the surna Bian?" Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire
"If I rember correctly..."
Bian Yihong coughed lightly and said with an odd expression, "I am indeed Bian Yihong..."
