Chapter 4

Jiang Chen worked very fast . The set of silver needles were quickly positioned in different parts of Fan Tu's body . Then he started to twirl the silver needles in different ways, depending on how bad the wound was .

The doctors behind him were craning their necks to watch him . They weren't happy that they had been accused of malpractice by Jiang Chen like that, so they wanted to see how "great" Jiang Chen's medical skill was .

It seemed Jiang Chen really knew a thing or two by how his hands were moving, but they had never seen anyone treat people like he was .

"Chief doctor, Steward Fan was injured by the people chasing after him . He has a great number of severe injuries to his body, which resulted in the internal organ failure and the meridian atrophy . How will acupuncture help?" someone asked the elder doctor in a low voice .

"Just leave it to him . He is the Young Master of the east courtyard . " The elder doctor shook his head . In his opinion, Fan Tu was doomed to die . Just let Jiang Chen do whatever he wanted to do .

Suddenly his pupils dilated . He looked at Fan Tu in his bed in great surprise .

The needles scattered across his body were somehow glistening . The rays of light were connecting with each other so that a wonderful pattern had been formed on Fan Tu's body .

The light was becoming more and more dazzling . Fan Tu's face got very red . He clenched his teeth, as if he were suffering some inexplicable pain .

"Doesn't matter . Shout if you want . " Jiang Chen knew how much pain his treatment could cause . He didn't want Fan Tu to suffer too much .

"A piece…of cake . Doesn't hurt . " Fan Tu was holding his breath so that this sentence had almost been squeezed out of his teeth .

Jiang Chen admired him for his toughness . He removed all the needles when almost everything was done .

The light on Fan Tu's body disappeared immediately .

To everyone's surprise, the heavily injured Fan Tu had recovered . Perfectly intact skin showed up after the black blood was wiped off his body .

"I feel great . "

Fan Tu, who had been dying, sat up . The doctors in the room were flabbergasted .

The elder doctor had seen something odd . He was in a bigger shock than anyone else .

He invoked the spirits of the universe to repair the injuries by twisting the silver needles, and then treated them step by step via acupuncture . It's really brilliant . He had nothing to regret in his life after having seen such a medical skill with his own eyes .

"Young Lord, thank you for saving my life!" Fan Tu said emotionally .

"You saved me, too . If you hadn't taken me back to the Southwind Ridge, I would have been dead already," Jiang Chen said with a smile .

On hearing this, Fan Tu got off the bed unexpectedly and knelt down . Jiang Chen and Gao Yue were taken aback .

"Young Master, I am so sorry . It's totally my fault!" Fan Tu exclaimed .

It turned out that that it had been Fan Tu who had been safeguarding Jiang Chen . But he thought there was no danger in the Black Dragon City, so he went away to drink with others . As a result, Jiang Chen was easily tricked by the Ning's First Lady .

"Fan Tu, you…" Gao Yue's expression changed suddenly on hearing him . Her chest was heaving rapidly .

"Mother, even if Uncle Fan hadn't left, there would have been no difference . Instead, he would have died in the Ning's hands . " Jiang Chen didn't care . He was trying to comfort both of them .

Fan Tu's face was covered with tears . He gritted his teeth and said, "The Master asked me to take Young Lord back to punish me, so that I couldn't fight to death in glory with my brothers!"

"You are still alive, so you can avenge them," Jiang Chen said .

Fan Tu was shocked . He stood up and nodded quickly .

"Yes, I will avenge them!"

…

…

When he left the room, Jiang Chen felt Gao Yue's skeptical look . He forced himself to smile, "Mother, ask me . "

"Son, when did you learn such medical skill?" Gao Yue asked .

"I didn't only learn medical skill, I have also recovered some of my meridians . It won't take too long for me to recover completely . Though I don't have the holy pulse anymore, I can still practice like before . "

"Really? How did you do it?" Gao Yue was half astonished and half joyful . However, if she told Jiang her doubts, she would be relieved .

Jiang Chen didn't hurry . He told her something that had just occurred to him .

"An old man with a white beard appeared in my dream when I was in a coma . He told me that he felt sympathy for me, so he would like to take me as his disciple . "

"In my dream last night, he appeared again and taught me the medical skill to recover the meridians . I never expected to use it on Uncle Fan . "

Jiang Chen looked quite calm when saying this, but he was feeling extremely anxious inside .

He wasn't sure whether Gao Yue would buy this story . Fortunately, from her response, she did .

Gao Yue looked astounded . No matter how many adventures she had experienced on the continent, she was still amazed by such a weird story .

"What else did the old man say?" She was speaking in a much lower voice so that others wouldn't hear them .

"He said he would try his best to help me, but I shouldn't share his secret too much, otherwise he would be upset . "

Gao Yue nodded, taking it seriously, and said, "Sure . Don't let anyone know about this . I won't ask you about it either, unless you want to tell me . "

That was exactly what Jiang Chen wanted . Of course he wouldn't disagree .

Mother and son came back to the main hall . Jiang Chen recalled how his mother had been gasping, so he asked, "Mother, did you get hurt once?"

"Sorry?"

"I saw that you were very tired after teaching Ning Jian a lesson . At first I thought it was simply because you hadn't had a good rest . But today I saw that you got tired very easily," Jiang Chen said .

Gao Yue was shocked and let out a sigh . She didn't deny it . Instead, she smiled bitterly and said, "Your father and I were planning to get out of the Fire Field once, to see the big world . With your father's talent, he would have achieved something greater . But I became his burden . He gave up better opportunities, and took me back to the Jiang Mansion . Later, we had you . "

Jiang Chen felt so lucky to have revived in this body when he heard this . Otherwise the poor woman would have lost her husband and her son . She definitely couldn't have dealt with such a loss!

"What I have isn't an injury, but poison . Every time I fight, I use some of my life force . "

Jiang Chen felt startled . This poison effect brought a name to his head that wasn't good . He pretended that he didn't understand and asked in false surprise, "Poison? Mother, could you tell me what poison it is? I can ask my master to help . "

"Death Warrant Flower . "

Of course .

A cold feeling swept through him . This poison had a serious effect .

The Death Warrant Flower was deemed one of the most vicious poisons . It didn't have a toxicity that made people tremble with fear . Those who got poisoned would not die right away .

But it was vicious . The poisoned person will be tortured in a most cruel way until they died, but it was a slow process, especially for strong people .

Every time they used their force, their state would be drawn back . The aging process of their bodies would be accelerated .

It would put a person into the Mental Wander State or an even higher state wait for his death like an ordinary being .

You would only poison another person like that if you hated them to the core .

No wonder no one in the Jiang Mansion knew about Gao Yue's ability- she had never shown it .

If it were injury, Jiang Chen would be able to cure her .

But it became much more complicated when it came to poisons . He had to have all of the ingredients to work out the antidote .

He knew how to detoxify the Death Warrant Flower . But the ingredients needed were very rare, at least very rare in the Sacred Zone .

He wasn't sure whether they existed in the Nine Heavens Continent .

Luckily, they would have enough time, as long as Gao Yue didn't fight .

"Silly boy, don't worry about me . As long as I don't fight, I can live like a normal person, and watch you grow up . "

Gao Yue gently touched his head when she saw Jiang Chen's worried look .

Jiang Chen's body was quite stiff, but he was filled with nameless emotions .

He was very grateful for his fate, for he had had great parents in both of his lives .

In the previous life, his parents were too strong, so that he didn't know how to pay them back .

But now it was different . He would not only save his father, but he would also rid his mother of the poison .

After the meal, Jiang Chen went back to his room . Instead of resting, he continued to recover his meridians .

There were so many things for him to do . He had to be strong enough!
