Chu Yang smiled slightly and said, “Brother Qin, you should take a good look. There are a total of thirty-seven medicinal herbs here, most of which are urgently needed! However, this Nine-Petal Jade Spirit Mushroom… should be relatively difficult to obtain…”
He furrowed his brows and was about to cross it out with his pen while saying, “Although the Nine-Petal Jade Spirit Mushroom is precious, it doesn’t actually have much benefit for your injuries. I thought… considering your cultivation level, you have reached a bottleneck. If we can find it together, we could use its combination with other herbs to break through your meridians and shatter your bottleneck... But it’s quite troublesome, so I’ll just cross it out.”
Break through the bottleneck?!
Qin Baoshan's eyes widened in shock. Ignoring the excruciating pain in his left hand, he reached out with both hands as if robbing, hugging the prescription close to him like a hen protecting her egg. He shook his head like a rattle drum, “No, no, no, it’s not troublesome at all…”
Heaven have mercy, I have been stuck at this bottleneck for thirty years... I thought all hope was lost, but now I finally see an opportunity. If I let this pass, wouldn’t I regret it for a lifetime?
I absolutely cannot miss this chance!
“Since Brother Qin insists, I will respectfully comply. However… if you can’t find it within two months, you must give up on upgrading and focus on preserving your life first,” Chu Yang said solemnly. “Brother Qin, this is not a joke! I hope that when the time comes, you must not fail to find the Nine-Petal Jade Spirit Mushroom…”
“Yes, yes, I understand, Brother!” Qin Baoshan held tightly onto the prescription, repeatedly agreeing. In his heart, he silently resolved: Even if I risk my life, I will find the Nine-Petal Jade Spirit Mushroom within two months at all costs!
Chu Yang helplessly nodded and smiled, turning to meet Sha Xinliang's eager gaze.
“Brother Sha, I only glanced at it just now. Let me check your pulse again.” Chu Yang extended his hand; the relationship among the three had rapidly progressed, with a brotherly warmth that was hard to describe.
If Chu Yang were to say, “Shall we become sworn brothers?”... the old men who had just been discussing killing Chu Yang would definitely raise both hands and feet in agreement!
Sha Xinliang cooperatively extended his hand and said gratefully, “It all depends on you, little brother…”
As Chu Yang felt Sha Xinliang’s pulse... the Sword Spirit took the opportunity to enter Sha Xinliang’s body — at this moment, Sha Xinliang’s condition was unknowingly transformed into what Chu Yang described... really…
“It’s even more serious than I imagined…” the divine doctor furrowed his brows tightly, shaking his head and sighing. “I didn’t expect that incompetent doctors could cause such harm…”
Sha Xinliang gritted his teeth, a furious look on his face. I’m so angry; I thought of him as a dear friend for so many years, yet this guy treated me like a fool for all those years!
For this hatred, I can never forgive!
It’s not just hatred; it’s about life and the shame that makes me feel utterly humiliated… What a huge joke! I’ve been supporting that bastard for so many years as if I recognized a thief as my father…
“Brother Sha. You should now press firmly on the lower left corner of your dantian, and also the inch above your heart meridian. Press hard, and then on the Baihui point above your head, press down hard…” Chu Yang instructed, releasing his hand as he spoke.
Following his instructions, Sha Xinliang pressed on his dantian. Suddenly, it felt as if he had been stabbed with a knife, instantly causing waves of pain to surge within him, cold sweat dripping down his face.
Half from the pain, half from the shock — it really is like this!
Pressing an inch above the heart meridian, he felt thousands of steel needles piercing in at once, unable to contain his agonized cries, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
