Chapter 139: Great Loss
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: GaiaNove
It was no wonder why Zhang Xuan wasn't happy. Even though he had said expensive medicinal
herbs, it was actually an excuse. Given how his pure zhenqi was more than sufficient to open up
her blocked meridians, why would he need medicinal herbs?
If the other party were to buy it himself, how could he earn his money?
Just as he was thinking about how he could get the other party to fork out the money
obediently, Ling Tianyu slapped his forehead suddenly and grinned, "Yang shi, actually, I am
not really knowledgeable about medicinal herbs. I'm afraid that you would have to buy the
required herbs yourself!"
After which, he presented a stack of bills.
It was not that he understood the meaning behind Zhang Xuan's actions. Rather, all fighters
had their own secrets. Since this master teacher is able to treat his wife when even Master
Yuanyu found himself helpless before her, he must have his own exclusive secret treatment
formula.
Wouldn't he be exposing the other party's secret treatment formula if he were to buy the
medicinal herbs?
It was no wonder he was displeased!
As such, he immediately changed his words.
"Un!" Just by reflecting briefly, Zhang Xuan understood the reason by the changes in Ling
Tianyu's actions as well. Without explaining in the least, he gestured for Sun Qiang to accept the
stack of bills.
How could a master teacher personally grab that stack of money personally? It is unbefitting of
his position!
"Alright, I will begin her treatment now!"
After successfully laying his hands of the gold bills, Zhang Xuan didn't dawdle any further. He
walked over to Yu Rou, whipped out his silver needles, and inserted it at the points where her
meridians were blocked.
Simultaneously, zhenqi was infused into the other party’s body.
Tzzzzzzzz!
The pure zhenqi swept through her body and all the shackles in her body disappeared
instantaneously.
Ying ning! The unconscious Yu Rou slowly opened her eyes.
"This..."
Ling Tianyu and the others present in the room were astounded.
Didn't you say that it would be difficult to treat her... That it will take nine days of effort along
with an exorbitant sum?
Yet, in a few moments, she was already awake. Furthermore, it looked as though he had merely
placed a few needles on her…
"Crap, I made a blunder..."
Clearly, Zhang Xuan didn't expect that the other party would awaken so quickly as well. Zhang
Xuan nearly threw up blood.
If she woke up so quickly, how could he continue to suck money off Ling Tianyu?
The Library of Heaven's Path only detailed flaws on a person's body. It didn't record what would
happen once those flaws were resolved and as such, Zhang Xuan wouldn't have known the
unblocking of which specific meridian would help her regain her conscious. Initially, he had
intended to spread the workload over nine days, clearing a few areas of meridian blockage every
single day. This way, he would be able to drag out the treatment and earn a greater sum from
Ling Tianyu. Yet, he didn't expect that just by clearing a few points, she would awaken.
Cough cough.
She woke up too quickly... It felt as though there was no difficulty in his treatment at all. How
could he dupe the other party's money like that?
Zhang Xuan felt dismal.
"Incredible, Yang shi!"
After the initial astonishment, Ling Tianyu felt completely impressed by the other party's
means.
Even though it looked like he had just placed a few needles on the other party's body, it was
actually an extremely profound art. It contained secrets that outsiders would find hard to
comprehend. Otherwise, why wasn't Master Yuanyu able to do the same? On the other hand,
this Yang shi was able to cure his wife in an instant through this art.
Clearly, this was the disparity between their capabilities!
"Er?"
Initially, Zhang Xuan thought that the other party would feel as though he had wasted his
money for naught. Contrary to his expectations, the admiration in the other party's gaze simply
deepened. Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, waved his hands casually and said, "The first day
of treatment only helps her regain her consciousness. I will look for some special herbs to help
her nourish her strength. After I'm done, I will send someone to bring it over."
"Alright!"
Ling Tianyu hurriedly nodded his head.
"Un!" After which, Zhang Xuan didn't speak any longer.
"Then, we shall not disturb Yang shi any longer..."
After which, he gestured for his subordinate to lift the palanquin and prepared to leave.
"Tianyu..."
Before the two subordinates could even lift the palanquin, the lady on the palanquin spoke and
slowly stood up.
"Your body is still weak. Quickly, lie down..."
Seeing her stand up, Ling Tianyu hurriedly walked over.
Sun Qiang muttered under his breath excitedly. His admiration for the old master overflowed
from within and appeared in his words and expression.
However, hearing those words, Zhang Xuan felt even more depressed.
It wasn't easy for him to ensnare a billionaire. Yet, due to his lack of knowledge on the
treatment’s effectiveness, he failed to grab a huge sum from the other party. Just the thought of
it caused sadness to well up within him.
"Forget it, a million is still money anyway!"
Since he was unable to drag it out, he might as well get it over and done with. Zhang Xuan
passed Sun Qiang a gold bill, wrote a list and had him go out to buy some herbs.
As a person who became an apothecary through Pill Debate, Zhang Xuan was unable to forge
pills. Even so, prescribing some medicinal powder to nourish one's body was still a simple task
to him.
Let's just treat these medicinal powder as expensive 'precious medicinal herbs'!
The other party wouldn't check on it for fear of incurring his wrath anyway.

"Boss, another pot of tea!"
Du Yuan found a table to occupy at the tea stand and casually threw a gold coin over.
"Coming!"
The boss was a fifty-year-old or so elderly. He brought a pot over to Du Yuan's table with a wide
smile.
"Boss, I have something to ask you..."
Seeing that the tea stand was directly opposite the mansion, Du Yuan couldn't help but ask him.
"Customer, feel free to voice any queries that you have..."
Upon seeing the gold coin in Du Yuan's hand, the boss's eyes immediately lit up.
"I would like to ask about the opposite..."
As he spoke, Du Yuan pointed to the opposite mansion, but his words stopped abruptly when he
saw the gates to the mansion opening slowly.
"Hm? Sun Qiang is coming out again?"
Initially, he thought that it was Sun Qiang who come out to settle some affairs. However, he
soon realized that he was wrong when he saw Ling Tianyu, who had just entered a moment ago,
supporting another person out.
"Is this... Ling Tianyu's wife?"
Du Yuan shuddered. His heart almost stopped from astonishment.
He had met Ling Tianyu's wife twice and as such, he was able to recognize her. It was just a
moment ago that she was carried in on a palanquin...
And she is already on her own feet?
Must it be so exaggerated?
Could I be seeing things...
If he didn't know for a fact that Ling Tianyu's wife was truly ill, he would have thought that the
other party was just acting...
The heck, this was an illness which even Master Yuanyu was helpless about. It hadn't even been
ten minutes since she was carried in... And she was walking about ...
Du Yuan didn't know whether something was wrong with his eyes or instead, something was
wrong with the world.
