chapter 12

"It's simple," Lin Tianyu explained. "Old man Jiang will remain in his current state, only able to be conscious for two hours a day. But compared to being in a permanent coma, it's much better."

"The problem with the patient's body is that his life force has been depleted. There are only two ways to maintain consciousness: increase the input or decrease the output."

"If we were to administer acupuncture while Old man Jiang is conscious, we could increase the input of life force from the outside and keep him conscious. This would be using my Wood Element power."

"However, since the optimal healing time has passed, we can only decrease the output and reduce the time he is conscious, just enough to keep him conscious."

Many people in the room nodded in understanding, but the result was far from ideal.

However, Liu Mei's eyes lit up. The current situation was even more advantageous for her. With Old man Jiang only able to be conscious for two hours a day, the Jiang family's power would remain in her hands.

"Brother Lin, is there any way to completely cure Grandpa?" Jiang Zhi asked, tugging on Lin Tianyu's clothes and looking at him hopefully.

She had full confidence in Brother Lin.

"...No," Lin Tianyu shook his head heavily. But just as Jiang Zhi began to feel hopeless, he nodded.

"It's not possible now, but it should be possible after a while," said Liu Mei.

The key to the problem was the celestial book held by Ye Lan. If Lin Tianyu could obtain the celestial book, his cultivation would definitely reach a higher level, and he would have a full grasp of curing Jiang Lao Ye.

But for now...

...it was not possible.

"Excuse me, Mr. Doctor, could you tell me what's wrong with my grandfather? He's usually very healthy and energetic, even more so than many young people," Liu Mei asked.

She wanted to call Lin Tianyu "friend," but changed her mind at the last minute. Lin Tianyu's medical skills were superb, and he deserved the title of "godly doctor." In the future, they would have to rely on him to treat Jiang Lao Ye, so her attitude naturally made a 180-degree turn.

"Jiang Lao Ye, or rather, your Jiang family, have you offended anyone?" Lin Tianyu asked instead of answering directly.

"Well..." Liu Mei looked conflicted and hesitant, and didn't dare to speak.

She didn't know if Jiang Lao Ye had many enemies, but there were certainly many who coveted the Jiang family's existence. The Jiang family was rich and had many competitors.

If you classified competitors as enemies, then there were too many to count.

"The patient is indeed poisoned, but this poison is very strange. It doesn't destroy the body's organs or functions, but instead robs the patient of their life force, like a rapid aging process. This poison...is not something an ordinary person can administer," Lin Tianyu muttered thoughtfully.

"Please, divine doctor, you must save the old master. If he dies, Jiang Zhi will be heartbroken," Liu Mei pleaded.

For Lin Tianyu, Jiang Zhi was perhaps the only person he cared about. And as expected, Jiang Zhi looked at him with a pleading expression.

"I'll do my best," Lin Tianyu said, rubbing Jiang Zhi's head.

"I knew Brother Lin was the best!" Jiang Zhi smiled, tears still streaking down her face.

"But you must ensure that no suspicious individuals come near the old master, and all the items and food he comes into contact with must be completely safe. The toxin is very strange, and I don't know what it is. likely colorless and tasteless, so conventional testing methods won't work," Lin Tianyu said solemnly.

"That's not a problem. Divine doctor, you can rest assured that we will ensure everything that comes into contact with the old master is safe," Liu Mei replied, nodding.

"Oh, and one more thing," Lin Tianyu turned to Huang Chengzhong, who was standing in the room. "You stay here and continue to take care of the patient. You should be able to tell if the symptoms worsen. This toxin is likely chronic in nature, so pay close attention to the old master's changes in consciousness."

"How dare you order my teacher?!" Xiao Jun jumped up, not waiting for Huang Chengzhong to respond.

"I understand."

But his teacher, Huang Chengzhong, did not feel any resentment towards the demolition. Instead, he clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to Lin Tianyu, respectfully saying, "Teacher...you...!!"

Xiao Jun felt incredulous.

Even if there were some difficult diseases that could not be cured, given Huang Chengzhong's seniority in the medical field, he should not be bowing to this young Lin Tianyu.

"There is no distinction between seniority and juniority in learning. The one who achieves is the teacher. Lin Shi's skills are extraordinary, and they are unheard of and unseen by Chengzhong. It is Chengzhong's honor to be able to participate in the treatment with Lin Shi."

Huang Chengzhong said to Lin Tianyu, as if explaining to his own disciple, Xiao Jun.

He understood.

Lin Tianyu's medical skills were completely beyond his level. To be able to throw more than thirty silver needles at once, accurately hitting the patient's acupoints without any deviation, was already beyond the scope of ordinary medical skills. It was a miraculous technique that only existed in ancient texts.

Every move Lin Tianyu made during the treatment could bring unimaginable inspiration to Huang Chengzhong.

"Suit yourself."

Lin Tianyu shrugged and said indifferently, "But one thing, you can't call me 'Lin Shi'. I am not your teacher, and I don't want to teach you anything."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Huang Chengzhong quickly responded.

"Let's go, we should go back. Don't let your sister Ye Lan wait for us."

Lin Tianyu took Jiang Zhi's hand and made a gesture to leave. Halfway through, he stopped and turned his head to look at Liu Mei with a slightly cold gaze.

"I remember you mentioned before, asking Jiang Zhi to accompany someone named Yang or Ma for dinner?"

"No, no, no."

Liu Mei quickly waved her hand.

"Who Jiang Zhi wants to have dinner with is completely up to her own decision. No one can arrange it for her, hehehe..."

Her forced laughter sounded weak and pale.

But Lin Tianyu didn't pursue it and just took Jiang Zhi and walked out.

...

"Thank you, Brother Lin."

After walking out of Jiang's house, Jiang Zhi stood still, raised her small head, and her eyes sparkled with bright light. She had never met such a gentle person like Lin Tianyu "You're welcome."

Lin Tianyu smiled, but then he changed the subject and said, "As long as you accompany me once a week for practice, hehehe..."

Lin Tianyu's intention was pure. He wanted Jiang Zhi to accompany him for practice, but the naive and sweet Jiang Zhi misunderstood his words. When she heard Lin Tianyu's words, her face turned red and she almost bled.

What should she do?

Brother Lin was Lan Lan's fiancé, but he had a great favor to her. Should she agree to him? She was so conflicted.

"Let's go."

Lin Tianyu didn't know the storm in Jiang Zhi's heart. He opened the car door, picked up Jiang Zhi, and at the same time took a deep breath, feeling the special fragrance mixed with body scent, which soaked into his lungs.

Then they both got into the luxury car's back seat.

He held Jiang Zhi tightly.

Lin Tianyu didn't have any intention of taking advantage of Jiang Zhi.

It was all for the sake of cultivation!
