Ye Mo waved his hand, "No problem."
"Grandpa! This-" As Xiao Ku saw that Ye Mo could even see when his grandpa would be dying, he rejoiced. If Ye Mo could really cure his grandpa’s condition then their family could finally be freed.
"I was rude before," ng Jiushan interrupted his grandson. He knew what his grandson was going to say, but it was better for him to say it. However, he was a little embarrassed.
Ye Mo continued, "Master ng, I said I will treat you, and so I will. If I didn’t want to treat you, nothing you said would change anything."
"Yes, I am just too desperate. You must not call master anymore, though, I don’t deserve that title. If you don’t mind, just call by my na." ng Jiushan said.
"In that case, Mr ng, tell about your condition. What I’m bewildered about is that your essence is very potent and you have no disease, so why are you still like this?" Of course Ye Mo wouldn’t say that there was death chi around ng Jiushan.
ng Jiushan looked troubled and imdiately asked, "Would you have the ti to co to my place and have a chat?"
Ye Mo knew what ng Jiushan ant, but he really didn’t have ti, so he said, "I am very sorry Mr ng, I’m a busy person. After I land in Hong Kong, I will be going back imdiately. Although the business under isn’t big, there are still so things for to do. If you are willing to say it, then please say it here and now. If not, then I can’t help you."
Although Ye Mo could check ng Jiushan’s ridians, he knew that this wasn’t a physical disease, so checking ng Jiushan’s ridians wouldn’t help that much.
Although it involved so important secrets, ng Jiushan clenched his teeth and explained the ng family’s situation, "The reason for my condition is simple. Our ng family has always only had one son a generation, and no one has ever lived past their 60’s. Everyone dies for sure on their 60th birthday. According to the family records, there have been seven generations already, and still this curse is yet to be broken.
There’s still half a month left before I reach 60, so when Doctor Mo said that I have half a month left to live, that is when I knew that you are a capable man."
Ye Mo frowned - there was such a thing? If this was a man-made curse, what ans would that require!
"In that case, please give your hand so that I can check your ridians," Ye Mo thought for a long while and said.
ng Jiushan’s ridians were calm and normal. Even after checking it with his chi, Ye Mo didn’t find anything abnormal.
Ye Mo was only more confused, but he had the feeling that he was overlooking sothing specific. For now, it would seem that death chi couldn’t be cured that easily through physical ans.
Although Ye Mo could easily dispel the death chi, that would only save ng Jiushan himself. According to him, all the sons of their family’s every generation had this condition.
Wait- ng Jiushan’s blood contained faint spirit chi. He had almost missed that. How could a fortune teller have spirit chi inside his body?
"How is it, Doctor Mo," ng Jiushan asked desperately, seeing Ye Mo sunk into contemplation.
Ye Mo didn’t reply and said to Xiao Ku, "Give your hand too."
After looking at Xiao Ku’s ridians, Ye Mo started to get the gist of the situation. Xiao Ku also had so faint spirit chi inside his body, but actually a little bit more than ng Jiushan.
"Mr ng, have you and your grandson eaten the sa type of unique fruit?" Ye Mo asked. His heart was beating fast. If this concerned a spirit fruit, then he would be earning big.
ng Jiushan looked shocked and saluted with his fist after a while, "How did you know, Doctor Mo? Our family does have a special type of fruit, but it should be safe to eat. It has been passed down from our ancestors, and before we learn our fortune telling art, we need to open the spirit, and for that we need to eat the fruit."
ng Jiushan forgot to speak softly, because he was so shocked, but he wouldn’t care even if others heard. Quite a few people knew about their fruit tree, but only people from the ng family could eat the fruit. Others who tried would die for sure. Many people knew of this.
"Is it sohow related to with our fruit tree?" ng Jiushan then asked.
Ye Mo thought, ’If it really is a spirit fruit, it should only make people live longer, and not shorter.’ First, Ye Mo needed to confirm if their fruit was a spirit fruit. It should be a spirit fruit for sure if it had spirit chi in it, but the lifespan-reducing effect made him doubtful. He said, "That might not necessarily be the case, but please tell the characteristics of the fruit."
ng Jiushan trusted Ye Mo a lot already, and their fruit tree was no secret anyway.
"The maturing process of this fruit is completely different to that of normal plants. It blooms each year but never bares fruit. One must wait for 10 years of consecutive blooming before it bares three fruits. This fruit is very precious, but it’s very bitter too - you can’t even eat it. If you try to force it, you will only faint on the spot. So in the end, we started using honey to eat it and that way, we barely-" Ye Mo stopped ng Jiushan.
Ye Mo was sure that this had to be the second main ingredient for his foundation establishnt pill, the Bitter Ten Years. Even if ng Jiushan didn’t let him go to the ng family, he would still go no matter what. If he let this opportunity pass by him, he wouldn’t be Ye Mo.
"I can cure your condition, but I need to go to your house," Ye Mo said. Anything had to make way for his cultivation progress.
"Mom, look at those frauds behind us being really patient. They’ve been acting for so long, yet they’re still going," the young woman comnted in contempt.
The wealthy woman was dazed. She knew a lot about ng Jiushan’s legends. In the ng family there had indeed never been males who lived past 60. They said that that was because the ng family had leaked too many heavenly secrets and that it was divine punishnt.
After hearing this, she imdiately beca certain that the two n weren’t acting. They were really ng Jiushan and a capable young doctor.
Besides, ng Jiushan’s air of seeming like an immortal Daoist really didn’t appear fake. Thinking like that, the wealthy woman could no longer calmly stay seated. She got up and said to Ye Mo, "Doctor, could you help as well? I apologize for what my daughter has been saying. She’s a young student who doesn’t understand a lot of things, please bear her no mind."
Ye Mo smiled, "Big sister, I don’t dare help treat you, or else, police would co for imdiately."
Hearing the irony in Ye Mo’s tone, the woman blushed and wanted to apologize again, but the young girl stopped her once more, "Mom, you still don’t believe . Are you really going to trust a fraud?"
The woman’s face burst red, and she slapped away the hand of the young girl. She said with red eyes, "Xiao Yin, I know you’re acting in my benefit, but do you really want to see die. If it wasn’t for Nan Nan, I might as well die, but now, I absolutely can’t yet. You call Master ng fake, a capable doctor fake. Money, money, money, is money really that important to you?! Can you even spend all the money you have now?"
"Mom-" That young girl was dazed. She didn’t expect her gentle mom to beco this angry.
Ye Mo didn’t mind the two as he noticed that Luo Dongsheng had returned to his seat with an anxious complexion.
