Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
What about the bad guys who were perfectly healthy?
That was easy. He would make them sick.
Lu Sheng felt that his own logic was normal. The greatest requirent for a patient with a chronic disease was to rest. Not only was he able to correct the common practice of society, he was also improving the society’s order in a roundabout way. He enabled more financial resources to be channeled to the people who needed them.
He was the person who needed them.
Lu Sheng stroked his chin. Then, he quickly treated the remaining patients before standing back up.
Beside him, De Yun had finished treating all his patients as well, albeit being slightly slower.
“Junior Apprentice Brother, are you sure you can do it?” De Yun knew that Lu Sheng had outstanding dical skills.
He was slightly worried. The old man was a famous gangster in the area. Usually, he appeared gentle, but he was actually a cold-hearted person. He would kill off an entire family just because of a disagreent.
Just because his son was a Grand Formation Master in the main city, he did as he liked in the surrounding area. Nobody could stop him.
If they were not careful and could not treat his illness, they would be in deep trouble.
“His son is a Grand Formation Master. Please be careful, Junior Apprentice Brother,” De Yun warned him. “If you’re not confident enough, we can just reject him.”
Lu Sheng raised a hand and shook his head slightly.
“Although he’s not a model citizen, as a doctor, I cannot allow myself to look on while a life ebbs away before . He might be heartless, I cannot be unjust.”
As De Yun looked at his righteous air, he imdiately felt a sense of respect for him.
After giving it so thought, he again proceeded to ask, “But... isn’t it better for us to call Teacher back here?”
“Teacher is treating the epidemic there, his mission is more important. We shouldn’t disturb him. Besides, I don’t think teacher will have a greater confidence than I have,” said Lu Sheng confidently.
This was not a confidence in his own dical skills. This was an absolute confidence in his transplanting art and healing art, which were both at their highest levels thanks to the modifier.
De Yun had nothing to say to that.
At this mont, Chenchen walked out of the inner room. The two of them discontinued the topic.
Early next morning, the old man ca back as expected.
He appeared paler.
“Quick, bring the old man in!” When Lu Sheng saw him, he appeared slightly shocked. He quickly went up and supported the old man.
However, his hand was swatted away by a young girl.
“Where’s Tu Jin?! Bring him here, now! Can you take responsibility if the old man’s condition gets any worse?!” the girl spoke with a furious expression.
Lu Sheng was not angered even though his hand was swatted away. He rely frowned and took two steps backward. He glanced at the girl.
“I’m afraid... this poison is contagious...”
“Pooh!”
De Yun nearly spat out the mouthful of water he was drinking. He hastily ran into the inner room. He took out a black red-patterned joss stick and ignited it. He stuck it into a built-in incense basin on the wall.
That was to prevent contagious diseases from spreading.
The old man’s guards and family mbers acted the sa way. The mont they heard the word “contagious”, they retreated simultaneously. The girl who spoke angrily before this was the only one who managed to stay where she was, though her hand was shaking slightly.
Otherwise, the old man would have fallen to the floor.
The old man’s eyelid jumped. He saw the reactions of the others. He said nothing about it. He rely spoke to Lu Sheng in deep voice, “Little doctor, na your price. How much is needed to cure of this poison?”
“Initially, I had a confidence of 60% to completely rid you of this disease. However, since we last t, sir... you seem to have used so other dication... sothing that nourishes your body...” Lu Sheng spoke slowly with a frown.
“You’re really amazing!” The old man widened his eyes. “You can tell so much without even having to take my pulse! You’re right. I did go to the best doctors and apothecaries in the nearby cities and took so antidotes and nourishing broths... Don’t tell ... sothing’s wrong?”
Yesterday, he had been completely tortured by this poison. Not only were the dicines useless, his illness seed to have worsened.
Hence, out of helplessness, he had no choice but to return to the Tu residence.
“There is, and it’s a huge problem!” Lu Sheng’s expression was grim. “The poison hasn’t spread before this, but the nourishing dicines you took has increased the circulation of your blood and essence. Now... the poison has spread all over your body... I’m afraid...”
“Afraid, what?!” the old man asked hastily.
At this mont, he was not the only one. The other guarding girls around him appeared tense as well.
Lu Sheng wept his gaze across them. He wore a helpless expression.
“I’m afraid... that it can no longer be completely treated... You’ll have to be on continued dication after this...”
“Huh?!”
The old man’s mouth hung open slightly. He sighed heavily in relief.
“That’s alright. I thought that it can’t be treated at all... It’s fine if it can be treated! I’m grateful enough for that already! Na your price, doctor.”
“There’s no need to rush. Let give you a round of treatnt first. Your condition cannot wait.” Lu Sheng wore a serious expression as he walked up to the old man. With lightning speed, he tapped the old man’s neck with his fingers.
The old man seed to be completely at ease with him. A thin layer of protective Spiritual Essence was reflexively unleashed by the old man’s body. However, he quickly retracted it.
Lu Sheng tapped his finger lightly on the old man’s body several tis and released his spirit-prompting threads into his body. He quickly stabilized the toxins within the old man’s body.
He was the one who injected the poison into the old man’s body in the first place. It was only natural for him to easily control it.
Lu Sheng muttered to himself for a while as he sat. When he felt that it was about ti, he slowly removed his hand from the old man’s body.
Then, he grabbed a paper and a pencil, and he started jotting down the nas of the dicine he needed.
He paused midway. He made so simple calculations regarding the biggest amount the old man could afford, and added two new items to the list.
“Here, you should take them once a month. Brew three cups every ti, and you have to finish it in one go. It’ll suppress the poison in your body and enable you to coexist with it.” Lu Sheng passed the formula to the old man.
The old man received the list. He read the entire list without any change in his expression.
“No problem. About your paynt...” He turned his head and gave a signal. A strong man behind him walked up. He placed a black bag of money on the table before Lu Sheng.
“A token of my thanks. Thank you for your great skills, little doctor. My surna is Shen, and you may call Elder Shen.” The old man’s colors clearly returned. His breathing cald down as well.
“My surna’s Lu. You may call Little Lu, Elder Shen.” Lu Sheng displayed a warm smile.
“Not bad. I’ll have to depend on you after this, Little Lu.” Elder Shen patted Lu Sheng’s shoulder forcefully. He stood up and left with his n and the formula.
This group of people passed like thunder and moved like the wind. They were extrely swift in their business. In addition to that, they had a faint bloody sll on them. It was clear that they had claid many lives. They surely were not kind people.
Lu Sheng waited until they left before he rummaged through the bag. To his amazent, there were three ingots of snow-white ice money.
De Yun saw the money in Lu Sheng’s hands as well. Surprised, he imdiately exclaid, “There’s about 1.5 kilograms, how generous!”
However, Lu Sheng remained expressionless. He had the feeling that the amount of money he tried to knock off the old man was too low. Judging by the look of Elder Shen just now, it seed that the content on the list was more easily obtainable than he’d imagined.
When Tu Jin treated his patients, the paynt would be around 100 to 150 grams of ice money. This Elder Shen had given him 1.5 kilograms in one go.
Elder Shen ca back a few tis after that. Lu Sheng gave him prescriptions and brewed the dicine for him according to the formula.
All in all, he obtained about five kilograms of ice money.
After that, Lu Sheng continued to treat the old and young who ca for treatnt. They were either poisoned or crippled, and needed imdiate attention.
As the number of patients grew, so of the patients could not be saved, even by Tu Jin.
The fa of the Tu Style Healing Art gradually spread under Lu Sheng’s hands. The number of patients who ca to see him increased as well.
Lu Sheng’s rules were also made known to more and more people. His treatnt would cost more than in other places. The difference in cost would depend on the patient and the illness itself.
As ti went by, Lu Sheng received more and more ice money. He contributed a small amount from that money to the Tu Style’s account while he kept the remaining portion.
Lu Sheng used part of his money to purchase an extension of his residence rights. The remaining portion was completely used to fund his experints.
As his experints progressed, he gradually mastered one of the secret skills of the Three Limits. The possibility of him using this skill was the highest.
At this mont, Lu Sheng decided to seriously explore the Tu Style Healing Art.
.....
Inside the underground cavern.
“Aurr!”
The imnse black tiger monster roared furiously at Lu Sheng, who was less than one-tenth its size.
The cavern was only so big. However, the black tiger had its back against the wall. It dared not get close to Lu Sheng.
It was not the only one. A huge red ant which was more than six ters in length was at the side. The ant had transparent wings on its back and a long scorpion’s tail which flickered with red fluorescent lights behind it.
This huge ant behaved like the black tiger. It appeared extrely terrified of Lu Sheng. It tried it best to push its body as far backward as possible. It wanted to put more distance between Lu Sheng and itself.
Lu Sheng stood in the center of the cavern in his gray robes. He wore a brown, short vest over his sculpted body.
“Looks like the assimilation is very successful. After obtaining the secret art, the success rate has been raised to 30%.”
He scrutinized his two greatest masterpieces.
Lu Sheng spread his arms, and loudly spoke, “Both of you have strong bodies and abilities heavily gifted with natural endownts. If you can begin your cultivation path with this foundation, it’ll be a near-perfect beginning.”
The black tiger and red ant were started. They quickly moved backward again.
“Forget it... Are your spirits damaged? What a sha... The only thing that I can’t fix is the spirit. It seems like it’s still too early to call this a success...”
Lu Sheng fell silent.
“Deep Blue.”
It was ti.
It was ti to make this ancient healing heart shine with its true powers.
Lu Sheng looked at the light blue interface which popped up. Within the Tu Style Healing Art’s fra, the transplanting art and spirit-prompting thread were at their maximum levels already.
“It’s ti to prove your potential. Let see what kind of ultimate form can this healing art take...”
He pushed the derivation button. The entire interface shook slightly. Without waiting for the modifier to stabilize, Lu Sheng pushed the derivation button behind the Tu Style Healing Art.
The level-five healing art instantly blurred.
