Chương 101: Divine Doctor Song

The Song Manor. Finding a way to help Old Nie quickly recover from his injuries wasn't just empty talk from Song Que. He was entirely capable of it, but he first needed to find a plausible excuse to cover it up! Moreover, he had considered this long ago. While helping Nie Feng treat his internal injuries, 'Divine Doctor Song' discovered that the majority of the energy he transmitted into Old Nie's body didn't act directly on the injuries; instead, it dissipated to various other parts of the body!

If he could find a way to concentrate and transmit the energy directly to the injured area, the treatment would obviously become twice as effective with half the effort! Metal conducts electricity! In that moment, Divine Doctor Song immediately thought of acupuncture needles! However, coming from a background in Western medicine, his understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine was merely that of a novice. He didn't dare act recklessly!

If he accidentally used too much force and punctured something vital inside Old Nie, wouldn't that be a massive sin?! But now, pressed by the threat of those bandits, he thought he could give it a try. Acting on his thoughts, Song Que ordered someone to go out and buy a set of acupuncture needles and a few pieces of poultry for experimentation. With his Domain creating a virtual, simulated model of the body, he figured it wouldn't be too difficult!...

At this time, outside the East Gate of the city, a miserable, wretched figure in tattered clothes covered in dried blood was frantically urging a horse to gallop away. Even an acquaintance would probably have to look twice to recognize this man as Hu Ban! He was currently at the end of his rope! Relying entirely on a pent-up breath of resentment to keep from passing out.

Having been injured twice by Song Que, and then subjected to a night of 'enthusiastic care' by the wolves in the prison, if he weren't a peak Third-Tier martial artist with extraordinary vitality, he would have died long ago! Thinking of the message the other party had someone pass on to him, Hu Ban's eyes shot out a chilling, hateful glare! Turn hostility into friendship?! Fight until we become friends?! Motherf cker, keep dreaming!

* This time, he was absolutely determined to persuade the Head Chieftain to capture this group of people and torture them for ten days and ten nights before this resentment could be swallowed! With his mind hazy and filled entirely with thoughts of revenge, Hu Ban didn't realize that not far from him, a sparrow was silently flapping its wings and following him. In the forest, birds and beasts were far too common; normally, no one would find this problematic.

Riding cautiously and fearfully the whole way, compounded by the unbearable pain from his wounds, it wasn't until dusk that Hu Ban finally reached a guard outpost of the Black Iron Stronghold! Unable to hold on any longer, he reached out his remaining arm, grabbed a bandit subordinate, and with great difficulty ordered him to take him back to the stronghold to see the Head Chieftain regarding urgent matters before gloriously passing out! The patrol guards were naturally thrown into a state of panic!

If anything happened to the Third Chieftain while in their hands, would they—mere shrimp soldiers and crab generals—have any good fruit to eat?! The other two Chieftains certainly wouldn't have the time to listen to their explanations! Thinking this, how could these men dare hesitate?! Abandoning their guard duties and using strength they hadn't mustered since suckling at their mothers' breasts, they carefully hoisted Hu Ban up and sprinted back into the stronghold like they were flying!...

On this side, Grandee Song wasn't idle either. Thanks to the selfless dedication of several poultry comrades and numerous clinical trials, Divine Doctor Song was now confident he could use acupuncture needles to deliver the Tesseract's energy precisely where it was needed without harming the body! This was truly a massive breakthrough in the scientific field of the Song Family!

This meant that in the future, not only him, but others could also rapidly cultivate the Five Qi Toward the Origin Formula with his assistance! In other words, he could rapidly mass-produce a group of ordinary experts! How could Grandee Song not be excited?! He immediately called Xiong Ba to fetch Nie Feng so he could treat his injuries. While waiting, Grandee Song suddenly remembered something important. This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.

These acupuncture needles were just used to stab chickens... using them on a person now shouldn't be a problem, right? Will it give Old Nie bird flu?

"Young Master, you were looking for me?" Hearing the summons, Nie Feng nimbly arrived to report. Looking at the sincere face of his newly recruited subordinate, Song Que calmly stood up and nodded:"Old Nie, come in. I've been researching your condition these past few days, and today I made a breakthrough! I have found a method to rapidly heal your internal organ injuries!"

"Young Master, you understand medicine?!"

"Mm, I've dabbled a bit. My skills are decent." Hearing this, Nie Feng was slightly shocked. One had to consider the Young Master's age! Someone capable of healing his severe injuries wouldn't they be a renowned divine doctor with years of experience?! For Song Que to be capable of this naturally made him find it hard to believe. But out of trust in his Young Master, Old Nie didn't hesitate. Following instructions, he took off his upper garments and sat quietly on a chair, allowing him to begin the treatment.

Using needles on a person for the first time, Divine Doctor Song was also a bit nervous. Using alcohol to wash the needles several times for a rudimentary sterilization, he began carefully inserting the needles based on the simulated human model provided by his Domain, deliberately choosing paths that avoided blood vessels and vital spots.

Carefully stopping the tips of the needles right next to the injured internal organs, Divine Doctor Song began slowly channeling the Tesseract's energy, while spouting absolute nonsense with a serious face:"This is the Seven Stars Life-Extending Acupuncture technique, a secret medical scripture I happened to learn! Once the seven needles are deployed, they can pull a person back from the Gates of Hell! Naturally, the expenditure of mental energy is quite significant!

Carefully sense the changes in your body and quickly circulate your energy to heal! I cannot sustain this for long!" Feeling the damaged areas inside his body greedily absorbing the life force like parched earth receiving sweet rain, Nie Feng, despite being well-traveled and knowledgeable, was shocked speechless! He had never heard of such a miraculous secret art existing in this world!

Regarding Grandee Song's claim that it required a significant expenditure of mental energy, he naturally believed it without a shadow of a doubt! In his mind, he was already imagining his Young Master sacrificing his own life force to heal him! Thinking this, his eyes couldn't help but grow moist.

Without saying another word, he gritted his teeth, secretly circulated his energy to adjust his breathing, and swore that from now on, he would bow to the task and exhaust his energies, dedicating his life entirely to the Song Family! Song Que had deliberately said that to buy his loyalty, of course! If he knew how effective it was, he probably would have burst out laughing! At this moment, he still had to put on a show of excessive mental exhaustion!

His two hands flew rapidly between the needles like casting spells; the mysterious and incomprehensible movements were truly enough to fool anyone watching! After about five minutes, sensing that the wounds inside Old Nie's body were significantly better, Divine Doctor Song stealthily withdrew his hands and, pretending to be exhausted, packed up his tools and returned to his room to rest. It wasn't that he didn't want to heal Nie Feng immediately, but doing so would be too shocking to the world!

It was better to be cautious; besides, he wasn't in a rush these few days. Seeing the Young Master's utterly exhausted state, how could the simple-minded Nie Feng understand the deep routines of modern people?! At this moment, he was already moved to tears! He could only secretly engrave this in his heart, dedicating himself to healing his injuries, hoping for a speedy recovery so he could exert his strength for the Song Family!... The Black Iron Stronghold.

The stronghold's doctors were frantically busy until late into the night before they finally managed to pull the Third Chieftain back to consciousness. At this moment, the several doctors wished they could hug each other and wail loudly! Our lives have been preserved! The two Chieftains, who had been pacing back and forth in the room since evening, were overjoyed to see the third brother wake up! Shooing everyone else out, they hurriedly and caringly asked:"Third Brother! Who tortured you to this state?!"

Seeing their Third Chieftain missing an arm and his body covered in marks of torture, Xu Shicai's eyes couldn't hold back their murderous intent as he asked coldly. Seeing the familiar surroundings and his two older brothers right in front of him, the tough guy Hu Ban couldn't help but choke back a sob and wail loudly:"Big Brother, Second Brother! You must seek justice for me...!"

"Third Brother, explain everything clearly! Big Brother and I will definitely avenge you!" The Second Chieftain, Wen Jian, roared through gritted teeth. After venting for a while and letting his emotions settle somewhat, Hu Ban began to recount the story from beginning to end, adding embellishments along the way! Naturally, he didn't mention a single word about selling everyone out and confessing all their intel!

He only spoke of how bravely and fearlessly he acted, not uttering a word despite being tortured for a long time by the villains! Looking at his body covered in injuries, the other two believed him without a doubt! Such a brave warrior—if he wanted to confess, he would have done so early on; why would he wait to be tortured like this?! Furthermore, their Black Iron Stronghold was easy to defend and hard to attack! Even if the officials got the information, they had nothing to fear!

According to Hu Ban's story, only then did they learn that their third brother, to carry out the Big Brother's task, had endured great hardships! Entering the city, swallowing his pride, and disguising himself as a beggar, he tasted the coldness and warmth of human society! But who knew that the villain Song was deceitful and scheming, actually using despicable methods to harm him! How could their innocent and honest third brother defend against that?! Unfortunately, he fell for the trick and was imprisoned!

What followed, naturally, was brutal torture! He went through all ten major tortures one by one, and ultimately, an arm was cruelly chopped off while he was fully conscious! In the end, who would have thought this villain would actually discover their identities through the Pacification Office?! The villain Song, terrified of the Black Iron Stronghold's prestige, had no choice but to release him, even offering a truce to 'turn hostility into friendship'! SMASH!

Old Xu couldn't hold back and kicked the wooden table into splinters! His bloodshot eyes glared as wide as copper bells, looking exceptionally terrifying! This is outrageous!
