Chapter 10: Chapter 010: Extraordinary Medical Skills!
After quite a while, Ling Feng finally raised his head and said to Duanmu Qingshan, "Master, I have roughly figured out the formula for the 'Aura Transformation Ice and Fire Wine' and how to improve it."
"You said what?"
Duanmu Qingshan turned back sharply. He had tried for ten years to improve the "Aura Transformation Ice and Fire Wine" he had made himself, but he had never succeeded.
And now, Ling Feng had only looked at it for less than half an hour!
During the more than ten years he had been confined to Little Bamboo Peak, to what extent had the medical skills in the outside world developed?
This young lad actually had such profound medical knowledge.
"If a Mouse Fruit is added, it could neutralize the medicinal properties of the Ice Soul Flower and Fierce Sun Fruit in your 'Aura Transformation Ice and Fire Wine,' thereby gradually dispersing the hidden injuries in your dantian."
Ling Feng spoke slowly.
The expression on Duanmu Qingshan's face became increasingly amazed.
Just by smelling the fragrance of the wine and tasting a bit, he had identified the two most important medicinal ingredients in the Aura Transformation Ice and Fire Wine as the Ice Soul Flower and Fierce Sun Fruit. Who exactly was this young man?
His medical skills had already surpassed those of ordinary doctors; he was like a Daoist Doctor, and not just any ordinary Daoist Doctor at that!
Ordinary doctors could only treat common folk, at most treating some in the Body Refining Realm or the Qi Condensation Realm.
But a Daoist Doctor could treat even those monarchs who wielded imperial powers or leaders of sects and powerful figures from aristocratic families who had suffered serious injuries.
However, how could this young man in his teens possess such advanced medical knowledge?
"So it's the Mouse Fruit?" Duanmu Qingshan shook his head with a wry smile. "I always thought of this low-level medicinal material as a weed!"
"Just by adding Mouse Fruit to your Aura Transformation Ice and Fire Wine, it will take about three years to dispel the hidden injuries within your body. However..." Ling Feng's expression was very serious, a habit of his whenever he was diagnosing and treating someone, as he would be incredibly focused.
"However what?"
"Your injuries have always been suppressed within your dantian, so when that chaotic aura goes berserk, it injures your internal organs." Ling Feng frowned. "May I take your pulse?"
"Go ahead." As a Daoist Doctor, Duanmu Qingshan was well aware that although visual inspection could diagnose illnesses, the best way to fully understand a patient's condition was through taking their pulse.
Ling Feng stretched his hand to Duanmu Qingshan's wrist, touching the meridian. The steady and strong pulse surprised him.
An elder who had suffered from hidden injuries for more than ten years still had such a strong pulse, which indicated that Duanmu Qingshan's cultivation was indeed incredibly powerful.
After a while, Ling Feng furrowed his brows and slowly said, "Such terrifying destructive power!"
Ling Feng found it hard to imagine how a person with such injuries buried in their dantian could have survived for so many years!
Even the improved "Aura Transformation Ice and Fire Wine" would probably only be able to prolong Duanmu Qingshan's life, rather than heal his dantian.
"Humph, the previous Sect Leader of the Asking Immortal Sect personally intervened, naturally powerful!" Duanmu Qingshan snorted softly, speaking resentfully.
"The previous Sect Leader?"
"Yes, but he didn't gain any advantage. I was only injured, yet he died!"
"..." A few lines of frustration crossed Ling Feng's forehead.
This Duanmu Qingshan had killed the previous Sect Leader of the Asking Immortal Sect!
No wonder the Peak Masters of the Asking Immortal Sect were so hostile towards Duanmu Qingshan...
He really did have an impressive master!
"What, you're scared after hearing I killed the former Sect Leader of the Asking Immortal Sect?" Duanmu Qingshan chuckled mischievously.
"What is there to be afraid of?" Ling Feng's eyebrows raised, "Do you think if I say I'm scared now, Yang Wei and his men would spare me?"
"You've got guts!" Duanmu Qingshan looked at Ling Feng with admiration, acknowledging that most people would probably have fled to the Outer Sect immediately and completely severed ties with him in fear.
"Let's continue talking about your condition," Ling Feng said, gazing into Duanmu Qingshan's eyes. "I can heal your injury!"
"Oh?" Duanmu Qingshan was somewhat astonished. Such an injury, even he was almost at a loss; yet this young man dared to assert confidently that he could heal it?
"As far as I know, in the entire world, there is only one Acupuncture Technique that can resolve the internal injuries in my body," Duanmu Qingshan said slowly. "It is the 'Supreme Mysterious Acupuncture Technique' created by Medical Saint Ling Hanyang twenty years ago. Unfortunately, Ling Hanyang has long passed away."
As he spoke, Duanmu Qingshan sighed and lifted his wine gourd, tilting his head back for another drink.
"Ling Hanyang is my grandfather," Ling Feng said quietly as he took out a pack of Golden Needles from his chest.
Bang!
The sound of the wine gourd hitting the ground.
Duanmu Qingshan was stunned, looking at Ling Feng incredulously, "What... what did you say?"
"Ling Hanyang is my grandfather," Ling Feng repeated slowly.
"Medical Saint Ling Hanyang is your grandfather!" Duanmu Qingshan's face showed shock, lacking any semblance of the composure typified by a senior expert, even his hands trembling with excitement.
"No wonder, no wonder! Haha, the grandson of the Medical Saint, you are actually the Medical Saint's grandson!"
"I can use the Supreme Mysterious Acupuncture Technique to seal the internal injury within your body, but with my current ability, I cannot directly eliminate it with my needle technique," Ling Feng said seriously. "This internal injury has been suppressed inside for too long. To thoroughly eradicate it, in addition to acupuncture, we'll need some other medicinal herbs to assist."
Duanmu Qingshan gradually calmed down, his voice sinking, "What medicinal herbs do you need?"
"Many are the same as those used to prepare the Aura Transformation Ice and Fire Wine, and some others are Mist Spirit Flower, Purple Perilla, Flying Needle Grass... Of course, there is also the most important one – the dew from the Stone Marrow Flower."
Ling Feng listed off a string of materials, leaving Duanmu Qingshan astounded.
These ingredients, he had never even considered using. His face felt a tad warm; he prided himself as a Divine Doctor, but compared to Ling Feng, he felt like a child babbling in the presence of an adult.
After a long while, Duanmu Qingshan finally regained his composure and said in a deep voice, "I have those ingredients here. From now on, you'll stay here at Little Bamboo Peak. Don't go out without my command."
"Starting today, you are my disciple, Duanmu Qingshan's. Whoever dares to touch you, I will kill them!"
"Uh..." Ling Feng was taken aback for a moment, then joyfully bowed to Duanmu Qingshan, "Thank you, Master!"
...
At the summit of Feixing Peak, inside a magnificently resplendent hall.
"What did you say!"
Seated on the Peak Master's throne, a bearded man slammed his hand down onto the armrest of the throne, breaking the solid gold stone armrest into two pieces!
This bearded man was naturally Yang Wei, the Peak Master of Feixing Peak.
Before him knelt five young men covered in scars, trembling with fear – Ren Yifei and others.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Just yesterday he was merely at Qi Condensation First Layer, how could he have reached Qi Condensation Third Level in a few days, and even defeat a martial artist at Qi Condensation Fourth Level?" Yang Wei's face was as dark as water, his eyes flashing with anger.
"Master... Master, even if I had the courage of a bear and a leopard, I wouldn't dare to lie to you!" Ren Yifei pointed to the scars on his face. "Look, these were all given by that Ling Feng. His... his strength isn't that great, but it's very strange!"
"Yes, that kid is really weird! He knows our Jia Family's secret techniques and Ren Senior Brother's Chasing Cloud Steps, and also... also has a very bizarre needle technique. Once struck by his needle, the meridian points are immediately paralyzed, and I couldn't... couldn't move at all!" Jia Ping hurriedly chimed in.
"Hmph! They're just common martial techniques, Qi Condensation Third Level, right!" Yang Wei's gaze turned icy, speaking coldly, "A mere Qi Condensation Third Level, what waves can he make? Go, call over your Brother Shi Tailong. Have him make a trip tomorrow!"
"Yes! Yes!" Ren Yifei hastily nodded, stumbling as he rushed out of the hall.
