The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 394: Immortal! Immortal!
“This bastard is simply a brute!” At this moment, Fang Shijie cursed at Jiang Chenxi’s corpse. “He actually thought… thought of letting an evil spirit possess my father! And, for over a year, he caused so many major traffic accidents! Even more so, all of his business rivals who have died unexpectedly, it was all his doing!”

As he spoke, shivers ran down Fang Shijie’s spine. It felt like he had narrowly escaped death. Had Huang Xiaolong not arrived in time, he dared not imagine the consequences!

Jiang Chenxi was simply a terrifying monster, a demon living among humans!

“When magic grows a foot, the Tao grows a yard.” Fang Shijie looked at Huang Xiaolong respectfully and bowed slightly. “Master Long, we have wronged you just now… We hope you won’t hold it against us.”

Having witnessed Huang Xiaolong’s unparalleled abilities in exorcising demons, everyone present worshipped him like a god. Recalling their rude remarks toward Huang Xiaolong earlier frightened them and filled them with guilt, fearing Huang Xiaolong’s retaliation.

For a moment, everyone cautiously approached Huang Xiaolong, repeatedly apologizing to him.

Bearing little capacity for resentment, Huang Xiaolong brushed off their trivial apologies. To him, they were all but insignificant ants!

“Mom! Look, Xiaolong… Xiaolong is truly magical! Is he…an immortal?” Zhaoyue gazed at Huang Xiaolong infatuatedly. Were it not for the crowd present, she would have lost her composure and thrown herself into Huang Xiaolong’s arms in a declaration of her admiration!

“Indeed… Master Long, he is a living immortal!” Mother Fang too expressed her feelings.

At this moment, Huang Xiaolong yawned, about to return home to sleep, when he glanced at Old Master Fang.

Taking the opportunity, Fang Shijie said, “Master Long, the doctors said my father…his… he is in his last days, his bodily organs are failing.”

Having witnessed Huang Xiaolong’s miraculous abilities several times, Fang Shijie considered Huang Xiaolong as an immortal. Thus, he carefully informed Huang Xiaolong of Old Master Fang’s condition, wondering if Huang Xiaolong had any solutions.

“Hm…” Huang Xiaolong walked towards Old Master Fang who was sitting in a wheelchair and spoke as he walked. “The doctors are correct; Old Master is indeed advanced in age. His internal organs have completely failed. It is not a disease, nor curable by any medicines. Aging and dying, it is the natural course of life.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Shijie fell into despair.

It seemed that there was no saving the Old Master now.

Even someone as exceptional as Huang Xiaolong had disclosed as much. It appeared in the world, perhaps there was no one who could even prolong the Old Master’s life for a day…

“Hahaha, young man!” Old Master Fang, sitting in his wheelchair, stared at Huang Xiaolong. His previously dull and spiritless eyes were shining brightly. “Good! Very capable! Highly talented! I, old man, admire you! Hahaha! We are bound by destiny and wealth. I, old man, have nothing to regret! I am 90 years old, what haven’t I seen? I lived through battles and bullets! Hahaha! On the brink of death, to witness a living immortal like you, young man, I am extremely pleased!”

Old Master Fang was quite open-minded.

“Hehe…” Huang Xiaolong chuckled. “Old Master, I live nearby, so we are neighbours. From now on, I will come to see you whenever I have the time. This year as you turn 90, I came unprepared with gifts. Next year, for your 91st birthday, I will prepare some modest gifts.”

“What?” Fang Shijie felt his body shake slightly upon hearing this.

The others present also felt puzzled.

It was impossible for the Old Master to live to see his 91st birthday.

“Master Long, what do you mean?” asked Fang Shijie, his voice quaking.

“I can prolong Old Master’s life,” Huang Xiaolong nonchalantly replied.

“What?!!!” Fang Shijie was both excited and puzzled. “Dr. Xiaolong, didn’t you just say that the doctor’s judgment is correct and that my father is nearing his end? How… how can you prolong his life?”

“What the doctor said is correct, but I’m not a doctor,” Huang Xiaolong replied with a slight grin. “I am a Divine Doctor.”

Perplexed…

Fang Shijie was perplexed.

Actually, Fang Shijie was not entirely aware of Huang Xiaolong’s abilities, nor did he know that Huang Xiaolong’s medical skills were divine.

The surroundings fell into silence.

“I have more than a dozen methods to prolong the Old Master’s life. Let’s use the simplest one for now,” Huang Xiaolong said in a casual tone.

“Dr. Xiaolong… what is…the simplest method to prolong life?” Fang Shijie asked tremulously.

“Acupuncture,” Huang Xiaolong replied as he took out a box of silver needles from his canvas bag. “The ‘Sun-Reviving Nine Needles’ technique to defy nature and prolong life. I’ll just need to prick the Old Master a few times.”

“The organs of Old Master are indeed deteriorating. This ‘deterioration’ is essentially due to the draining of life vitality. However, there are still residual vital energies in other parts of the Old Master’s body, such as his blood vessels, meridians, muscles, bones, and even the hair and skin. I use the Sun-Reviving Nine Needles technique to gather these vital energies and infuse them into the Old Master’s internal organs. Doing so can ensure that the Old Master lives healthily for about five more years.”

Yes, using acupuncture to mobilize the residual life vitality in Old Master Fang’s body can prolong his life by at least five years. This is defying nature and prolonging life.

Actually, there are other methods, such as transferring the vital energy of a healthy person to Old Master Fang.

For example, injecting a stream of True Qi directly into Old Master Fang’s body.

These methods could even allow Old Master Fang to live to a hundred years old.

However, these are slightly more complicated.

Huang Xiaolong didn’t have a deep connection with the Fang Family. Just casually pricking him a few times to let him live for another five years was enough.

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Xiaolong moved his hands quickly. No one could capture the trajectory of his movements. In just the space of three breaths, nine silver needles had been inserted into Old Master Fang’s body.

Subsequently, Huang Xiaolong moved his hands as if strumming a lute across the tails of each silver needle. His movements were enigmatic and godlike.

In an instant, the residual life vitality in Old Master Fang’s limbs and bones had begun to seep into his dried-up internal organs like a thin stream.

His complexion also slowly grew ruddy, and his dull eyes regained some of their previous vitality.

The bystanders watched in awe!

A few minutes later, Huang Xiaolong pulled out the silver needles.

“Hahaha, I feel great! Ah! Divine! So divine! Why… why do I feel so energized?” Old Master Fang suddenly stood up from his wheelchair, “I feel strong. I was feeling weak just now. Divine doctor! Divine doctor! No, no, no! Immortal! Young man, you must be an immortal reincarnation!”

Without any comments, everyone was stunned when they heard Old Master Fang’s voice.

It was so loud!

Full of vitality!

Huang Xiaolong tidied up the silver needles and said to Fang Shijie, “Buy more tonics like ginseng and deer antler for the old master. Everything’s fine now, he can live at least until 95.”

After speaking, Huang Xiaolong greeted Zhaoyue, nodded to Old Master Fang, and excused himself. “I’m going home to sleep.”

Seeing Huang Xiaolong’s retreating figure, everyone present admired him.

“Bringing the dead back to life, slaying demons and monsters, defying fate… Immortal! Immortal!” Fang Shijie was overcome with emotions, unable to contain himself!
