It turned out that last night Xiao Yu had noticed a presence of death energy on him, but this faint and fluctuating death energy didn't seem to be anything serious at the time. He hadn't mentioned it because even if he did, people wouldn't believe him. Originally, he wanted to have Song Huashan remind him about it later.

He never expected that they would meet again today and when Tian Chong's emotions were extremely agitated just now, his complexion clearly changed, and the death energy on him suddenly increased. Xiao Yu noticed this situation and kept observing Tian Chong.

Although Xiao Yu’s eyes remained in a black-and-white world, he could still tell someone's aura condition. When looking at Tian Chong, he would sometimes deliberately press his heart area.

From just now’s observation of Tian Chong’s aura condition and the death energy on him, Xiao Yu found out the root cause of his illness: Tian Chong's heart meridian was withering at an astonishing rate. At this rate, in a few days, it would be completely withered, and even immortals wouldn't be able to save him then.

"Xiao Yu, why don’t you take Uncle Tian’s pulse See if there are any other illnesses on him!"

Although Ye Fei knew that Xiao Yu would not lie, he still wasn't very reassured. After all, without even touching the person, Xiao Yu could prescribe medicine just by a glance.

They had all seen traditional Chinese medicine practitioners before and knew that the older one was, the more valued they were in this field. However, Xiao Yu was so young; thus, despite knowing he wouldn't lie to them, their hearts still felt uneasy.

Xiao Yu looked at everyone's expressions and understood what they were thinking. He then turned to Tian Chong and said, "Uncle Tian, please extend your hand. I'll take your pulse."

"Xiao Yu, no need. Uncle believes in you! I will go get the medicine when I return." Hearing Xiao Yu telling him to extend his hand for a pulse check, Tian Chong hurriedly said this to Xiao Yu.

“Hmm… Uncle Tian, it’s fine. Let me take your pulse; I’m curious about what reason could cause such rapid heart meridian deterioration”

Xiao Yu chuckled and said to Tian Chong.

In fact, Xiao Yu was quite curious about Tian Chong's illness too. What reason could cause this situation Looking at Tian Chong's appearance, he seemed to be in the prime of his life. This kind of condition usually appeared on elderly people without any pre-existing illnesses but who were dying due to old age.

"That’s right, Uncle Tian, let Xiao Jun take your pulse and find out why this is happening so as not to have a relapse after being cured."

When Wang Fei and Song Hushan heard Xiao Yu say this, they also quickly started persuading Tian Chong.

Upon hearing their words, Tian Chong thought for a moment before extending his hand to Xiao Yu and said, "Little Yu, come take a look!"

Seeing that Tian Chong had extended his hand and placed it on the sofa's armrest, Xiao Yu lightly rested his hand on Tian Chong's wrist. With half-closed eyes, he sensed Tian Chong’s pulse. Yun Xi saw the way Xiao Yu was treating this case; her eyes flashed with excitement. She loved watching how absorbed Xiao Yu would become when healing someone. There was something special about him that drew her in.

About a minute later, Xiao Yu released Tian Chong's wrist and said, "The other hand!"

Hearing this, Tian Chong placed his other hand on the sofa armrest, and Xiao Yu gently rested his hand on it once more.

This time, Xiao Yu’s pulse-taking was relatively brief. After about half a minute, he lifted his hand away but kept his eyes closed. At this moment, with half-closed eyes and furrowed brows, Xiao Yu was quietly contemplating.

Yun Xi and Song Hushan did not interrupt when they saw how absorbed Xiao Yu looked; they waited patiently. Although Song Hushan’s heart was racing, he knew it wasn’t the right time to disturb Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu's mind was far from calm despite his half-closed eyes. He had never imagined that under Tian Chong's ordinary appearance lay ten or even dozens of times more vital energy than an average person’s. Such formidable inner strength and vital energy were something he couldn’t sense, which caused Xiao Yu to become more cautious.

No wonder since coming to the capital city where hidden dragons and crouching tigers reside, he hadn't encountered any strong individuals. It turned out that powerful practitioners who cultivate inner strength can go undetected if they don't show it with their actions.

With such a formidable amount of vital energy, Xiao Yu wouldn’t have detected it through mere observation; the pulse-taking was necessary to discover this. Compared to Zhang Dahan and even the black-clothed figure who delivered his card yesterday, Tian Chong’s strength was much greater.

Xiao Yu sensed the power in that black-clad figure but assumed Tian Chong was an ordinary person due to his appearance. He didn't anticipate the immense strength hidden beneath such a plain exterior.

After deep contemplation, Xiao Yu finally opened his eyes.

"Little Yu, what’s the matter What caused Old Tian's condition" When they saw that Xiao Yu had opened his eyes, Song Hushan and others immediately asked him.

Mm...

Tian Shu's illness should be considered a recurrence of an old injury, as his heart meridian had been injured before! Therefore, the treatment cycle this time might be quite long!

Xiao Yu said to Song Hushan and the others.

After saying that, Xiao Yu pondered for a moment and then told Tian Chong again: "Uncle Tian, don't cultivate Inner Energy for now. You can only continue cultivating after your injuries have healed! Your heart meridian was injured in the past, and the doctor who treated you was quite skilled. After healing your injury, he must have warned you not to cultivate Inner Energy!"

"Because although your heart meridian has been cured, compared to a normal one, it's relatively fragile. Therefore, it can't withstand the powerful impact of Inner Energy."

"But judging from your current level of Inner Energy cultivation, you didn’t listen to the doctor and have been cultivating Inner Energy all along. As a result, now your heart meridian is almost overwhelmed by the strong vital energy!"

Xiao Yu explained the cause of this illness to Tian Chong and the others. Upon hearing Xiao Yu’s words, Song Hushan and the rest turned their gaze towards Tian Chong because they had never known about this.

"Haha, I didn’t expect that Little Yu's medical skills are so good that he even knows my past injuries and what the doctor said back then!"

Tian Chong laughed after hearing Xiao Yu’s words instead of looking disheartened. He raised his thumb at Xiao Yu.

"Haha, it’s not because I’m skillful but because the doctor who treated you years ago left a lingering effect of your heart meridian being more fragile compared to others when he cured your injuries. Therefore, there's no way he wouldn’t have told you!"

Xiao Yu also smiled and said so seeing Tian Chong’s reaction.

"Little Yu, can Uncle Tian still be treated" Ye Fei asked Xiao Yu. They were now completely in awe of Xiao Yu’s medical skills. Although Song Hushan praised his miraculous skill before, it was still what others said. Now that they had seen it with their own eyes, they couldn’t help but feel amazed.

Xiao Yu just took the pulse and seemed to have seen events from many years ago clearly. This could be described as a divine technique.

"I originally thought his illness was only heart meridian atrophy, so I only prescribed some medicine. But it turns out he also has old injuries that need treatment. If Uncle Tian's injury is to be fully cured, acupuncture needs to be used in addition to the medicine. The time needed for this won't be short either and will depend on how well Uncle Tian cooperates with the gradual recuperation process!" Xiao Yu nodded and said.

He was quite confident about treating Tian Chong's injury. Although Tian Chong had been suffering from these old injuries for a long time, Xiao Yu knew that his physical condition wasn't bad. With proper treatment, if he refrains from using Inner Energy temporarily and recuperates over the course of a year or two, there shouldn’t be any residual effects left.

"Alright, I'll follow your instructions, Xiao Yu. Whatever you say goes! This old life of mine is in your hands now!"

Tian Chong said nonchalantly upon hearing Xiao Yu's words.

Xiao Yu observed Tian Chong silently and nodded approvingly to himself. Since he learned about Tian Chong’s illness, the latter hadn’t shown any signs of panic or fear, nor did Xiao Yu see any anxiety in his eyes, as if the sick person wasn't him at all. This attitude couldn't help but earn Xiao Yu's admiration.

Although Xiao Yu didn't know exactly what Tian Chong did for a living now, he was certain that Tian Chong had to be someone special because there was an aura about him similar to Zhang Dahai’s soldierly bearing.

In addition, despite his dark and muscular appearance, Xiao Yu sensed a presence of authority from him, leading him to believe that Tian Chong must hold quite a high position.

Given how calmly Tian Chong viewed life and death, Xiao Yu felt even more determined to heal him.

"Lie down here. I'll give you an acupuncture treatment."

Xiao Yu pointed at the couch beside him and said that as he flipped his wrist, a golden needle appeared in his hand.

Song Hushan and others’ eyes narrowed slightly when they saw the additional golden needles on Xiao Yu’s hand. They hadn’t managed to see how Xiao Yu had produced them, yet there was now an extra golden needle in his hand.

The trio looked at Xiao Yu in astonishment as none of them felt any powerful internal energy cultivation from him. Could it be that Xiao Yu's cultivation level has reached the hidden inner energy stage like theirs, allowing him to hide his internal energy within his meridians

But how possible was this How old is Xiao Yu anyway Even if he achieved such a high medical skill at this age, wouldn't it be difficult for him to have time to cultivate inner strength as well They themselves had decent talent and diligently practiced every day but only reached the hidden inner energy stage around their mid-thirties. Remember, they started training when they were just children!

If Xiao Yu possessed such medical skills at his age and also had a cultivation level of hidden inner energy, what kind of prodigy would he be

In fact, they didn't know that the type of martial arts Xiao Yu practiced was an ancient form, which had already been lost in today's society. The modern-day internal family training methods were created by their predecessors based on incomplete ancient secret manuals after a major calamity.ready aware and organized this welcoming banquet for them that evening.At the Shangri-La Hotel, Mr. Li and his wife left their child to be taken care of by a Filipino maid before heading off to attend...
