Xiao Yu drove the car, following this person to a high-end residential area in the city center. Xiao Yu glanced at the name of the neighborhood, which was called 'Tian Ding Residential Area.'

Tian Ding Residential Area was an integrated community with both luxury apartment buildings and villas. In front of it were two tall buildings, while behind them stood over twenty high-end villas.

This person drove the car, bringing Xiao Yu and others to the far end of the residential area, where they soon arrived at a luxurious villa.

The person parked the car in the garage and got out. At this moment, Xiao Yu also got out of the car. This person looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Be careful when talking inside; our boss is not like me and is rather strict."

Xiao Yu glanced at him but didn't respond. He had already encountered enough self-importance from people like this.

"All of you keep your voices down! Our boss doesn’t want to hear loud noises!" This person said as he led Xiao Yu and others into the villa.

Upon entering the villa, they were both deeply impressed by its interior decoration. Since Xiao Yu used his spiritual perception, his reaction was even more direct than Xiao Hongyang's.

The two stared at the villa’s decorations for a while before realizing that only one word came to mind: 'gaudy.'

It turned out that all the decorations and furnishings in this room were golden yellow, making it seem like entering a room entirely made of gold.

Under Xiao Yu's spiritual perception, everything was brilliantly golden with almost no other colors visible.

This person smiled smugly upon seeing their astonishment and led them upstairs to a room. He then gestured for silence before knocking on the door lightly.

Xiao Yu watched as this person knocked on the door, suddenly feeling heat in his eyes. The golden and blood-red patterns hidden at the bottom of Xiao Yu's eyes emerged and spread across the black-and-white world seen through his vision.

When the gold color from Xiao Yu’s right eye touched Xiao Hongyang, Xiao Hongyang’s body turned a golden yellow; when the blood-red pattern came into contact with him, only a faint trace of blood red appeared on his body, but it was suppressed by the gold and barely noticeable.

Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Hongyang, who was emitting golden light, with a puzzled expression. However, Xiao Hongyang showed no reaction, leaving Xiao Yu unsure about the functions of the gold and blood-red patterns.

Xiao Yu controlled the two patterns to move away from Xiao Hongyang and onto the person who brought them here. When the golden pattern touched this person, his body glowed with a hazy golden light. But when the blood-red pattern touched him, it suddenly intensified, overshadowing the gold. The crimson color spread until it covered three-fifths of his body before stopping and stabilizing.

As Xiao Yu pondered over the functions of these two patterns, he suddenly felt dizzy.

Xiao Yu's vision went dark, and both the golden and blood-red patterns instantly retreated. When he recovered, the person had already entered the house.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Hongyang stood at the door waiting. Xiao Yu was now immersed in Judge Bao’s memories, searching for information about these two patterns.

No matter how hard he searched, Xiao Yu could not find any records of these patterns or mutations related to Yin-Yang eyes in Judge Bao's memory. Was it because he had a physical body that his Yin-Yang eyes underwent this mutation

Xiao Yu was deep in thought; this seemed to be the only explanation he could think of. Although Judge Bao’s Yin-Yang eyes could see through nine realms, there were no records of them mutating. The only difference between him and Judge Bao was that Xiao Yu had a physical body while Judge Bao did not.

Xiao Yu shook his head with a bitter smile; after thoroughly searching Judge Bao’s memories without finding any information about the Yin-Yang eye mutation, he could do nothing but give up for now and study it later when there was more time.

Just as Xiao Yu intended to abandon his search, he suddenly discovered a record in Judge Bao's memory that hadn't appeared before. This must have been added recently.

Xiao Yu had only integrated part of the vast memories; specifically, those from Judge Bao’s time within the cultivation world, while the rest were stored in an unused corner of Xiao Yu's mind.

When searching through these memories now, it wasn't enough to merely think about them but rather he needed to delve into the part that hadn’t been integrated yet.

Xiao Yu had already searched some parts of these memories and dared not look at others due to their vast difference. The remaining portion was Judge Bao's memory after being ennobled by Heaven.

The last time he searched here, he did not see this record.

This was a record about virtue and karmic force. It stated that everyone carried two intangible yet opposing forces besides their life energy and death qi: virtue and karmic force.

Neither ordinary people nor heavenly immortals could detect these, but through special artifacts, one could reveal them.

The record mentioned that virtue was displayed as golden light on certain artifacts while karmic force appeared as blood-red.

Could the golden and blood-red patterns in his eyes represent virtue and karma, respectively Xiao Yu thought about it; although he had a vague feeling that this was the case, he wasn't entirely sure.

Xiao Yu withdrew from Zhong Kui's memories. Seeing the person enter the house without coming out yet, he closed his eyes and waited patiently. At present, he was about 80% certain that the golden and blood-red patterns in his eyes represented virtue and karma.

After a while, the person finally walked out, glanced sideways at Xiao Yu and Xiao Hongyang, and said, "Come in! Keep your voices down!"

Xiao Yu and Xiao Hongyang exchanged glances behind him and helplessly shook their heads. Especially Xiao Hongyang had treated many wealthy individuals before but never encountered anyone like this.

"What does your boss do"

Unable to resist his curiosity, Xiao Hongyang whispered the question to the person in front of them.

"Our boss Haha, you don’t know him! Our boss is a well-known figure in deep-sea circles. You’ve heard of Dingtian Group, right Our boss is the CEO of Dingtian Group, and this entire housing estate was built by our company!"

Hearing Xiao Hongyang's question, the person glanced at Xiao Yu and them smugly.

'Dingtian Group'

Xiao Yu silently repeated the name of Dingtian Group. He knew this name very well. Wrinkling his brow in thought, he realized where he had heard it before.

‘Oh right! This Dingtian Group isn’t the company where those small-time gangsters I encountered while dining with my family worked’ Xiao Yu suddenly remembered.

Thinking of this company made Xiao Yu’s expression turn cold, but he didn't say anything. Although this person was despicable, his actions hadn’t crossed Xiao Yu's non-treatment threshold, so he followed the man into the house.

Xiao Hongyang entered and saw that the room was filled with golden hues, helplessly shaking his head. He had treated many wealthy families in Beijing before but none of their homes were decorated like this. This was the first time he’d seen such an extravagant setup.

When Xiao Yu’s vision turned black just now, he had already withdrawn his spiritual perception and hadn’t released it again since then. Without the aid of his spiritual perception, everything he saw appeared in grayscale, so he didn't show any reaction.

The curtains were tightly drawn upon entering the house with no lights on inside. A man in his forties sat on a chair by the window.

Xiao Yu raised his eyes to look at the person sitting there. He was not tall, only about 5'4", but had broad shoulders and a thick waist, sporting a crew cut and a face full of fleshy features. A gold chain as thick as his thumb hung around his neck, with scattered tattoos extending from his body to his neck. His hands were adorned with seven or eight golden rings, clearly indicating the appearance of an nouveau riche.

"Boss, the doctor is here!"

The person who had brought Xiao Yu and his companions to this place quickened their pace and walked up to the intimidating man seated on a chair.

"Please take a seat. I am Liang Shang! It's really troublesome because of this illness, damn it! The sickness has made me suffer so much!"

Hearing this, the person sitting on the chair glanced at Xiao Yu and his companions. After speaking in an educated manner for a moment, he started cursing, revealing his true nature.

"Where do you feel uncomfortable"

Xiao Yu and Xiao Hongyang walked over to the nearby sofa and sat down. Xiao Hongyang turned to Liang Shang and asked him.

"I eat but then vomit; this has been going on for several days now. I've consulted some doctors, they all talk nicely but none of them are effective, damn it! They're all second-rate fellows!"

Liang Shang sat down on the sofa and opened his mouth to curse.

"Hold out your hand so I can take your pulse," Xiao Hongyang placed a pulse cushion on the armrest of the sofa and said to Liang Shang.

Xiao Hongyang ignored Liang Shang's foul language outright.

When Liang Shang held out his hand, Xiao Hongyang gently rested his own hand on Liang Shang’s wrist.

After sitting down, Xiao Yu observed Liang Shang. After a moment, Xiao Yu nodded slightly; if he had guessed correctly, he already knew the cause of Liang Shang's illness.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu thought about the golden color and blood-red lines in his eyes. In the black-and-white world within Xiao Yu’s eyes, two mysterious lines slowly extended out from his eyes towards Liang Shang sitting on the sofa.

When the golden line touched Liang Shang, he was instantly covered with a faint golden light. When the blood-red line touched him, it immediately enveloped him in a sea of crimson red, masking the weak golden hue on his body.

In Xiao Yu’s eyes now, Liang Shang resembled a person covered by a thin layer of blood.

After about one minute, Xiao Hongyang released Liang Shang’s wrist. Frowning slightly, he found through pulse-taking that Liang Shang did not have any obvious symptoms. Although there was a mass of stagnant air in his liver area, this was not the root cause of his illness.(To be continued...)ving treated bones throughout the years, he had heard about certain special techniques for setting fractures but never seen them in practice until now.
