Chu Yang squinted slightly before suddenly opening his eyes, a gleam of brilliance shooting forth, followed by a gentle sigh.
Beside him, the man in black on the left asked anxiously, "How is it? Can it be treated?"
Chu Yang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sigh, when heaven inflicts a calamity, there’s a way to remedy it; but when one brings calamity upon oneself, there’s no way to live. This patient... why doesn’t he cherish his own body?"
The man in black who had been speaking replied, "What do you mean?"
Chu Yang explained, "To speak of this patient’s physical condition, he originally came from a good family background. I believe even in Purple Cloud City, he must belong to the wealthy and noble class!"
"However, it is precisely because of that wealthy environment that he developed this bad habit. He must have lost his virginity at a very young age... From the pulse condition, it seems he likely did so before he turned thirteen!" Chu Yang said confidently.
"Is that something you can see?" the masked man in black said in disbelief. He then turned to the patient and asked, "Is that true?"
The patient sighed and replied, "The divine doctor is indeed accurate; yes, I was very young and knew nothing of restraint. I remember my first encounter with women occurred right after my twelfth birthday... sigh..."
The man in black on the left turned sharply to look at Chu Yang, a hint of joy radiating from his eyes.
To be able to deduce such a situation from the pulse condition speaks volumes about this doctor’s skill.
"Because he was young and lacked restraint, coupled with a wealthy background, he must have come into contact with numerous women. The more he took, the more he wanted... Young people, upon first tasting intoxication, become infatuated with these matters of men and women. It is said that human strength has its limits; racing day after day, how can one maintain it for long... Most likely, by the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight, he would have felt exhausted, right?!"
This time, without waiting for a question, the patient nodded in agreement.
"From the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight, he began taking medicine, and over the years he has consumed many good things, yet instead of being replenished, he grew weaker. The more he tried to replenish, the more depleted he became, ultimately by around thirty years of age, he was completely... incapable! Is that correct?"
"…Yes. The divine doctor is truly wise! It’s as if you can see everything!"
"And then your family’s situation must have undergone a drastic change, becoming impoverished, and you still live in poverty to this day, right?!"
"Um? …Indeed!" The patient responded, his eyes reflecting a sense of wonder as if he had seen an immortal.
Just by two fingers, he was able to deduce nearly all the circumstances of his life? Was this really a doctor? He could almost be called a fortune teller. If he just reached out to touch the wrist, wealth would surely roll in.
The man in black on the left also showed some joy and asked, "Since we understand the illness, can it be treated?"
Chu Yang smiled slightly and said, "Since we know the source of the illness, it can naturally be treated... To speak of his type, it is not particularly complex; a mere two Purple Twilight Coins would suffice."
"Do you need money now?"
"Money is needed to cure the illness! Paying without treatment is useless!"
The man in black stared at Chu Yang, who wore a warm smile, lifting his gaze to meet the man’s eyes without flinching.
"Good! As long as you can cure him!" The man in black flicked his wrist, and two sparkling Purple Light coins appeared in his palm. As soon as they were taken out, the entire room was filled with a radiant purple glow.
With two clinks, the man in black expertly flicked the coins onto the table. They spun and glimmered under the oil lamp’s light, releasing a shimmering purple light, as if the entire sky of Purple Twilight had descended into this small room.
Seeing the deft flick of the coins, Chu Yang could not help but let his eyes glimmer for a moment. He then focused his attention on the Purple Twilight Coins.
