Urban Supernatural Medical Saint

The Ye family members were utterly baffled by the statement—it was you who said there was no cure, and also you who now claims there can be a cure.

Are you kidding me?

Even Ye Xingkong was at a loss for words.

However, more than that, he was excited.

The idea that the poison in his dantian that had troubled him for many years could be cured was doubtlessly the best news Ye Xingkong had ever heard!

"You don't even know the basics of inspection, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking, so how could you know it's incurable?" Fang Yu said in a deep voice.

"Yes… yes, it was someone else who told me…"

Tian Shunde trembled with fear, honestly replying.

"Who?"

Tian Shunde was stunned, not daring to answer.

Faced with this situation, Fang Yu seemed to have plenty of experience—

"Don't speak, you die."

"…"

Tian Shunde's complexion changed drastically, showing a look of terror.

To speak, or not to speak?

It seemed to be a very difficult decision.

After pondering for a moment, Tian Shunde finally spoke: "Lu… Lu Tianhao."

Ye Xingkong's eyes widened in shock.

The Lu Family!

In Yanjing, the three great families had always stood as three legs of the tripod, leaving each other in peace and having no entanglements with the Lu Family. It wasn't until the Jin Family and the Zhao Family received support from the Lu Family and grew progressively stronger that the Ye Family began to decline.

Behind the scenes, the Lu Family played a key role but never engaged in direct conflicts.

Lu Tianhao, one of the Law Enforcement Hall Elders of the Lu Family, was just… how could such a superior expert take notice of Ye Xingkong?

Unable to understand, nor fathom it.

However…

At this moment, Fang Yu sighed and said, "So it was him."

Ye Xingkong was startled and asked, "You know him?"

Fang Yu smiled and said:

"More than just knowing him. Lu Tianhao, an Elder of the Lu Family, skilled in medicine. Back in the day, he annihilated hundreds of martial artists from the Northern Desert with his exclusive expertise in poisoning, and firmly established his status."

After saying this, he paused for a moment, "To say he's skilled in medicine, in reality, he only dabbles in poison. He also has a fatal character flaw… this man is extremely, extremely narrow-minded."

Narrow-minded?

Tian Shunde was bewildered.

Why did he know so much about Lu Tianhao?

"So, I surmise that you've offended him in the past," Fang Yu stated.

"Offended?"

Ye Xingkong was full of confusion; he hadn't even met Lu Tianhao, so how could he have offended him?

Fang Yu smiled and asked: "Haven't you bad-mouthed him before? And he found out about it!?"

"…"

Ye Xingkong was taken aback.

He carefully thought back and indeed, he had criticized Lu Tianhao on some occasions, particularly recalling an incident related to a commercial building project in Yanjing, where Lu Tianhao had manipulated things behind the scenes, causing the Ye Family to lose their most important shopping mall. As a result, Ye Xingkong had indirectly criticized Lu Tianhao.

Just because of a few criticisms, to put someone in a life or death situation, truly, this demonstrated an extreme level of narrow-mindedness.

Fang Yu appeared as if he saw right through it, which surprised Ye Xingkong.

At the same time, seeing Fang Yu's expression, Tian Shunde was also full of shock.

How did he have such an in-depth understanding of Lu Tianhao!?

Ye Xingkong's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and seeing Tian Shunde's face, he felt sick and said, "What are you waiting for? Take him away, rip out his tongue, and break his hands."

"Yes!"

Tian Shunde, with a face full of despair, screamed while being dragged away, "I told you everything, why still do this to me… why, why—"

"If you hadn't spoken, you'd have only death to look forward to, and it'd be an ugly one," Ye Xingkong huffed coldly.

…

After Tian Shunde was taken away, Ye Xingkong turned to look at Fang Yu, thinking about what Fang Yu had just said about Lu Tianhao, his heart filled with doubts and questions. Coupled with the fact that his dantian was poisoned and Lu Tianhao was a master of using poison, there was a significant connection.

Ye Xingkong smiled and said:

"Nephew Fang, how come you know so much about Lu Tianhao?"

Fang Yu replied, "Just moderately."

Obviously, he didn't want to answer directly. Ye Xingkong didn't press further and changed the subject, "Sigh, I never would have thought that the poison in me was from Lu Tianhao."

As a master poisoner of the Lu Family, taking down a martial artist with average Martial Arts abilities like Ye Xingkong would be too easy.

"Nephew Fang, you just mentioned that my illness can be cured… but why did you initially say it couldn't?" asked Ye Xingkong.

Fang Yu spread his hands and said:

"You've been seeking treatment from this quack and popping painkillers for so long, and you call that treatment?"

...

Ye Xingkong nodded helplessly.

Everyone else, including Zhong Long and Zhong Hu, looked embarrassed.

A group of people, duped by a swindler, how impressive.

At that moment, Ye Wenjun approached everyone, faced Fang Yu, and softly said: "If possible, could you cure my dad's illness?"

Ye Xingkong was taken aback.

He himself could have asked Fang Yu directly, as it was just a matter of being a bit shameless. But... his daughter stepping forward was unexpected and touched his heart.

Now it was up to Fang Yu to agree or not.

Fang Yu heaved a sigh and said, "For my wife's sake, I'll treat you... Old Ye, stop looking at me like that, I wouldn't bother agreeing if it were anyone else asking."

...

...

Upon hearing this, several faces were overwhelmed with embarrassment.

They were accustomed to high positions and others bowing down to them. But today, Fang Yu had trounced them completely. How the tides have turned in thirty years!

"How will you treat it?" Ye Xingkong asked.

"Lie down."

"Right here in the living room?"

"Of course, what, you want to lie down outside on the ground?"

...

This man's words simply pushed people to the brink of rage.

Left with no other option, Ye Xingkong lay down on the sofa.

"Take off your shirt."

In no time, Ye Xingkong had removed his shirt, looking thin and frail. His complexion was clearly unhealthy. Seeing this, Ye Wenjun and the Zhong brothers felt an inexplicable sorrow.

This man, his entire life, has been about giving – for the Ye Family, for others, never for himself...

Fang Yu's gaze shifted, and with a gesture, three Golden Needles appeared.

"Prepare some hot water."

"Okay."

Without thinking, Ye Wenjun immediately agreed, and soon brought over a basin of hot water, placing it on the coffee table.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Fang Yu's fingers, looking at the shimmering Golden Needles, their hearts surged with excitement.

Suddenly—

Fang Yu's hands moved.

Whoosh!

Whoosh whoosh!

Three needles in succession hit Ye Xingkong's back.

Buzz, buzz buzz—

The needles trembled constantly, like buzzing bees flapping their wings, vibrating at an astonishing frequency.

Everyone watched the needles in amazement.

Is this...

the fabled Taixuan Finger Technique?

The Taixuan Finger Technique, subtle and yet more subtle, the gateway to all its wonders!

There are so many marvelous things in the world, and seeing the magic of such a profound technique today, how could they not be excited and full of praise.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is indeed one of the most profound medical sciences in the world.

...

Fang Yu's eyes stayed fixed on the Golden Needles, and moments later, he raised his hand again and patted several times on Ye Xingkong's back.

"Endure it, it's going to hurt a bit."

"Mhm."

After a few pats, the places on the back where the needles were inserted felt like poisoned darts, sharply painful.

The dark blood oozing out from where the needle was inserted was truly terrifying.

Ye Xingkong frowned but uttered not a word!

In ancient times, Guan Yunzhang played weiqi while having his bone scraped; what was there for him, Ye Xingkong, to fear this little pain.

"Bring a cloth!" Fang Yu said in a deep voice.

Ye Wenjun was thoughtful and had already prepared it, quickly handing it over.
