red the medical field, inheriting his father’s legacy. Though his father didn’t say anything when he died, she knew that he wanted Xiao Yu to inherit everything.Xiao Jianying wiped away the moisture a...Chapter 125: Righteous Energy Overcomes Evil

The moment he saw Master Zhang taking out talismans, Xiao Yu sensed the fluctuations of magical power emanating from them. He had already reached into the medical box but pulled his hand back.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu remembered something and ran outside the villa. He recalled that witchcraft usually required a medium to cast spells, and the shrill sound was very strange, giving him an ominous premonition.

Outside, the shrill noise abruptly stopped when Xiao Yu arrived. However, he sensed that it came from the nearest villa to the haunted one.

Xiao Yu did not go over there to alert the person, as finding them would be difficult if they escaped. It was better to keep an eye on them.

Back inside the house, when Xiao Jingru and others heard the girl's cries, they rushed over. Xiao Jingru held the little girl while she wept, and Jin Xianglin sat on the sofa with his hands covering his head, looking very sad.

The two masters also realized something was off about that shrill sound when they recalled it. Seeing Xiao Yu return, they immediately asked: "How is it Did you figure out where it's coming from"

"Yes," Xiao Yu nodded.

Jin Xianglin, who had been sitting on the sofa in deep sorrow, suddenly stood up with bloodshot eyes. His usually scholarly face twisted into a terrifying expression as he looked at Xiao Yu and said: "Doctor Xiao, where is that person Please tell me so I can tear him to pieces!"

"Don't be hasty, we need to come up with a complete plan. We can't let him escape; finding him later will be very difficult! Looking at the two masters, Xiao Yu thought that without exposing himself, he could only rely on them.

Although Xiao Yu did not know what ghouling was, judging from this girl's situation, it seemed similar to some forms of witchcraft. In Zhong Kui’s memory, powerful witchcraft practitioners could kill someone with just a strand of hair or skin flakes over long distances. Since the person couldn't even instantly kill the girl at such close range with their witchcraft, they were likely not that skilled.

The two masters and Jinxianglin all wore a serious expression. Since they were unfamiliar with the kuedn, if it got away, it would leave endless troubles.

Xiao Yu frowned as he looked at the girl lying on the ground, who was calm but still twitching occasionally. The girl was now very weak, and there was a fist-sized lump on her body that felt like a small mouse moving around inside her chest and abdomen.

"Manager Xiao, don't touch her! Quickly put her down!" After glancing at the girl in Xiao Jingru's arms, Xiao Yu noticed a thin layer of black gas on her face and was alarmed.

Xiao Jingru looked at Xiao Yu with a blank expression but did not let go of the girl. She could not bear to let her daughter lie alone on the cold ground, so she held onto her even tighter when she tried to loosen her grip.

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, both Zhang and Li were puzzled at first. However, seeing the black gas on Xiao Jingru's face, they exclaimed in surprise: "Mrs. Jin, quickly let go of her! She is poisoned!"

Xiao Jingru hesitated but did not let go of her daughter because she didn't want to leave her lying alone on the cold ground.

Seeing Xiao Jingru's determination, Xiao Yu shook his head and walked over. He reached out to take the girl’s wrist and felt her pulse. When both masters noticed Xiao Yu examining the girl's pulse, they and Jin Xianglin, who was heartbroken, were all astonished. None of them expected that Xiao Yu would be a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Especially Jin Xianglin, who thought Xiao Yu graduated from a prestigious foreign medical school, found it unimaginable that he could actually be a TCM doctor.

Although Zhang and Li practiced qimen (a branch of Taoist practice), they still had some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. They understood the concept of five elements and meridians better than most people, which made learning TCM easier for them compared to others.

Even so, their understanding was still limited since they spent most of their time on qimen practice, leaving little time for studying TCM. But decades of accumulation showed how difficult it is to master traditional Chinese medicine.

This was why Zhang and Li were surprised when they saw the young Xiao Yu showing such expertise in taking a pulse.

Among these people, only Fangyuan had confidence in Xiao Yu; everyone else didn't think highly of him. In their minds, traditional Chinese medicine was not something young people could handle well.

In particular, the two masters, as practitioners of Qimen cultivation, often have to deal with traditional Chinese medicine doctors. Over the years, no matter which TCM family it is, those who come out to practice medicine are usually in their forties or fifties; even if some young people do enter the profession, they would be around thirty and still considered just beginners. It's extremely rare for someone like Xiao Yu, at twenty-four or twenty-five years old, to start practicing independently.

This time, Xiao Yu took three minutes or so to diagnose the girl by feeling her pulse. After finishing the diagnosis, he let go of the girl’s wrist and pried open her eyelids to take a look. He then opened her mouth for an examination; at that moment, an unbearable stench filled the air. Holding her daughter, Xiao Jingru was immediately overwhelmed with nausea as she turned away from the smell, her face darkening further.

"Bring me my medical case..." Frowning while looking at the mother and daughter, Xiao Yu did not even turn his head.

Not far from Xiao Yu's medical case, Fangyuan and Xiao Jian stood there. Upon hearing Xiao Yu’s request for the medical case, Xiao Jian quietly stepped back, but Fangyuan immediately brought the medical case over to him.

Xiao Yu took the medical case from Fangyuan's hand, and said to him, "President Fang, thank you!"

"It’s okay... it’s okay..." After delivering the medical case, Fangyuan quickly returned; he had also heard that there was poison over there.

Xiao Yu opened his medical case and took out a small porcelain jar containing detoxifying pills made during his recent idle days at home. He then picked up a black pill about the size of a winter jujube from the jar, handed it to Xiao Jingru, and said, "President Xiao, take this; it will help you detox."

After seeing that Xiao Jingru had swallowed the pill, Xiao Yu took out an acupuncture kit from his medical case and told her, "Alright, let go of her. I’m going to perform acupuncture on her now."

Hearing this, Xiao Jingru reluctantly released her daughter and stood aside. Xiao Yu then pulled out a gold needle and said to Jinxialin, "President Jin, please find some gasoline and a metal basin!"

"Okay..."

Jinxialin took out his phone and made a call with instructions; soon enough, a man in a black Zhongshan suit walked in, placed the basin and gasoline down on the floor, and stood at the corner of the room.

Xi Yu glanced at the golden needle in his hand. Regarding witchcraft, Xi Yu had only seen it in Zhong Kui's memories. Moreover, from the pulse diagnosis he just performed, Xi Yu discovered that the girl was not afflicted by ordinary witchcraft but something with a hint of demonic influence.

In ancient times, although witchcraft wasn't considered orthodox either, it was almost on par with breeding venomous insects and had gained recognition in the修行界. Therefore, in ancient times, there was a general term for these practices called "Witchery and Venom Arts," as they all involved extracting toxins and venomous creatures from nature.

However, the witchcraft afflicting the girl contained some unorthodox demonic elements. The foul odor coming from her mouth earlier had revealed traces of corpse poison and death energy, which were distinct from ancient witchcraft.

The golden needle in Xi Yu's hand lightly pierced a major acupoint between the girl's chest and abdomen. As soon as it entered, a thread of gold light flickered on its tip; due to the needle being金色and obstructed by her clothing, one could hardly see this glimmer unless they looked closely.

In Zhong Kui's memories, righteous energy was the best countermeasure against these wicked demonic techniques. It was especially devastating against such malevolent poisons.

So when Xi Yu inserted the needle earlier, he suddenly thought of what would happen if he used righteous energy to penetrate the body through the golden needle. As his golden needle continued to pierce major acupoints in her chest and abdomen, a wave of malicious energies within the girl's body melted away under Xi Yu's perception.

There were also some unknown entities that felt like parasitic creatures. Sensing the glimmer on the needle, these things scattered like mice seeing cats.

In Zhong Kui’s memories, witchcraft did not involve such entities; it was invented by ancient witches who primarily used venomous insects and gases for survival in harsh environments. Over time, it evolved into methods to defeat enemies but gradually took on a sinister quality. Now, however, the girl's condition transcended mere wickedness and bordered on demonic.

Could this be the true nature of black magic It never occurred to anyone that witchcraft could deviate so far from its origins. No, it couldn’t even be called witchcraft anymore; although rooted in it, it had completely transformed into something corrupted and degenerate.

The Nine Needles of Hua Tuo—definitely a miraculous technique unparalleled in history. As Xi Yu delivered the ninth needle, golden threads from all nine needles formed a golden web within the girl’s body.

With the formation of this righteous energy-composed golden web, the previously existing malicious energies and parasitic-like entities scattered; under her skin, ridges began to rise, resembling wriggling worms converging towards an earlier swollen lump.ard the commotion, the earth ghost rushed in immediately. Could such a creature outrun an ancient earth ghost It must be hiding somewhere within the room.Xiao Yu turned to Wei Jun’s family and said, "...
