ng Hushan standing at the door waiting for Xiao Yu, he became even more convinced of Xiao Yu’s identity. He then said to both men: "Mr. Song, Brother Xiao has bought a year's worth of my goods today....Chapter 486: Challenge Letter

In fact, if one were to strictly calculate it, both the old man and the young boy are his juniors. However, since he can't reveal that he's a descendant of Zhong Kui, Xiao Yu didn't clarify his identity when they met at the underground ancestral hall; hence, he had to be vague about it.

Initially, Xiao Yu only planned to draw a talisman with ten layers. But upon reaching the tenth layer, he suddenly recalled that the Thousand Butterfly Talisman could test one's cultivation level. Therefore, without hesitation, he continued drawing until the thirtieth layer; however, as the brush was an ordinary one, it broke under the pressure.

If he had his large brush with him, he would have confidence to draw five more layers, which would already be at the limit of his current abilities.

Moreover, Xiao Yu's ability to create this talisman is related to his righteous and upright aura. Even though in a physical state, Xiao Yu might still be stronger than Du Zhiping, he wouldn't be as significantly superior without it.

If he hadn’t cultivated the righteous and upright aura but instead studied ordinary magical techniques, he likely would have only been able to draw around six or seven layers. After all, with the current thinness of celestial energy, even having a talent doesn't help much.

But now Since Xiao Yu cultivates the righteous and upright aura, he is not constrained by the scarcity of celestial energy in the environment. How many layers he can draw depends on the amount of his internal righteous and upright aura.

This gives Xiao Yu a significant advantage over ordinary cultivators. For instance, Du Zhiping's method is an ordinary technique that draws upon one’s internal energy to attract external celestial energy onto the talisman; however, since there is no substantial celestial energy in the environment now, even if it exists, it would be very thin and insufficient.

Upon seeing Xiao Yu wasn't joking, Du Zhiping's face showed a look of excitement as he said: "Moxie, quickly thank the senior!"

"Thank you for your kind gift, Senior!" Upon hearing this, Mo Xi was taken aback and hurriedly knelt in front of Xiao Yu to express his gratitude. Only then did he take the talisman from Xiao Yu's hands with both hands.

After nodding at Mo Xi and allowing him to stand up, Xiao Yu bid farewell to the master-disciple pair and crossed through a long corridor into the villa’s living room.

In the villa's living room, Li Zixiong was pacing back and forth restlessly. Because Li Bingguang had aged considerably and after spending an entire night working hard, he was now very exhausted. At this moment, he was resting with his eyes closed on a sofa in the living room; however, jade balls were still rolling between his hands, indicating that his mind wasn't as calm as it seemed.

"Master Xiao, you're here!" Seeing Xiao Yu come out from the corridor, Li Zixiong quickly walked over to greet him.

Lee Bingguang heard Li Zixiong's voice and opened his eyes. When he saw Xiao Yu, his eyes lit up, and he hurried over as well.

"Yes, tonight I'll organize the acupuncture techniques of Hua Tuo’s Nine Needles for you to take back to the hospital tomorrow! As for everything else, you can ask your tribal elders how to maximize the effectiveness of the Nine Needles!" After Xiao Yu heard their greetings, he nodded and said this to them.

After speaking, Xiao Yu walked towards the villa’s main gate.

Hearing what Xiao Yu had to say, Li Zixiong and his father's faces showed a look of wild joy. Hua Tuo’s Nine Needles had been their family’s pain for several hundred years, but now they could complete it with Xiao Yu's help. This would allow them to make a significant mark in the genealogy, which naturally made them very excited.

When they snapped out of their thoughts, they found that Xiao Yu was already walking towards the door. Li Zixiong hurried after him; knowing they couldn’t retain Xiao Yu’s presence, he wanted to send him back.

Xiao Yu returned to the hotel and knocked on Fangyuan's room door. He saw Fangyuan dressed neatly, holding his phone, with a worried expression on his face.

Fangyuan had been unable to sleep until midnight, waiting for Xiao Yu’s return. At this point, he was hesitating whether or not to call home in China. After all, they didn’t have much influence here, but that wasn't the case back at home. Although Fangyuan didn't know if it would be useful, it was definitely better than him waiting here foolishly.

Just as he was hesitating whether or not to make a call, Xiao Yu knocked on his door. Upon seeing Xiao Yu, Fangyuan's heart immediately returned to its original place, and he wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Xiao Yu naturally noticed the worry on Fangyuan’s face but didn’t say anything. He simply smiled at Fangyuan and then went back into his room.

“Knock-knock... Knock-knock..."

Right as Xiao Yu had returned to his room to wash up, there was another round of knocking on the door.

"Who could it be at this hour" Wondering about this, Xiao Yu walked over to the door and opened it. Standing outside was a man in his twenties.

Xiao Yu had never seen or met this young man before, but there was a smile on his face that Xiao Yu recognized as schadenfreude.

"Who are you looking for" Xiao Yu looked at the young man with a somewhat schadenfreude expression and asked in puzzlement.

The young man didn't speak; instead, he took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Yu. With a puzzled look on his face, Xiao Yu reached out to take the envelope from the young man's hand.

As soon as Xiao Yu took hold of the envelope, the young man turned around silently and left. Although Xiao Yu was confused, he believed that there would be an answer inside the envelope. So after closing the door, he sat on the sofa to open it.

The brown paper envelope had no words written on its surface. Xiao Yu, puzzled, reached into the envelope and pulled out a folded piece of paper. He put down the envelope and unfolded the paper. When he saw what was written on the paper, his eyes narrowed tightly before a hint of a smile appeared on his face.

As Xiao Yu looked at the letter, he never expected this matter to come so quickly. After healing the injured man in the afternoon, someone had sent him a challenge letter that evening. Moreover, it seemed like they had been waiting for him ever since he returned, hadn't they

Thinking about this, Xiao Yu placed the paper on the table and found his mood inexplicably improved. He himself didn't know why.

In fact, this was a challenge letter delivered to Xiao Yu after healing the patient whose arm had been crippled earlier that day, asking him to resolve their dispute at noon tomorrow at Chen Family Martial Arts Hall.

This was the first time Xiao Yu had received a challenge letter. Moreover, it was also the first time since he started practicing medicine that someone had issued a challenge letter because of his treatment. Since such situations were inevitable in the future, he didn't care about this at all. Furthermore, with his strength, there was no need for him to pay any attention.

He had already decided earlier that he would show up on time tomorrow and give them a good lesson as well. This could be seen as a warning to others so that they would consider carefully whether their demands were worth Xiao Yu's efforts in the future after healing an injured person.

Thinking about this, his mood inexplicably improved. Perhaps it was because he had never encountered such a situation before

Xiao Yu put down the paper and went to the bathroom for washing up. After finishing, instead of meditating today, Xiao Yu fell into a deep sleep. The Thousand Butterfly Talisman used earlier cost him quite a bit of energy, so now he needed to rest well to recover his spirit in preparation for tomorrow's battle.

The next day, Fangyuan and Xiao Yu set off together towards Li Family Hospital. In the morning when they got up, Xiao Yu wrote down materials on the Hua Tuo Nine Needles technique. Although there was only a slight difference between Xiao Yu’s Hua Tuo Nine Needles technique and that of the Li family's needlework method, this slight difference made their effects differ greatly by more than half.

If the Li Family learned Xiao Yu's Hua Tuo Nine Needles technique, at least it could increase the therapeutic effect of their own needlework method by over half. If there were others who also mastered Five Animal Frolics, then the full power of Hua Tuo Nine Needles would be unleashed.

When Xiao Yu and Fang Yuan arrived at the hospital gate, Li’s father-son duo were already waiting at the entrance of the hospital.

"Master Xiao"

"Doctor Xiao"

Seeing Xiao Yu approaching from afar, Li's father-son duo hurriedly acknowledged him with a respectful tone in their voices.

Their visit to the family temple last night after Xiao Yu left had been brief and stern. The elder of their clan merely told them one thing: "From now on, show more respect when you see Master Xiao!" After that curt instruction, they were promptly dismissed. They didn't understand why the elder would say such a thing, but they dared not ignore his words.

"Mmm." Upon hearing their greetings, Xiao Yu responded with a short nod and took out the materials from his medical bag, handing them to the two men: "This should be similar to what you have at home; I believe you'll understand."

"Thank you, thank you Master Xiao," Li Bingguang respectfully accepted what Xiao Yu had given him, carefully tucking it into his clothes. This was a treasure of immense value for their family.

Xiao Yu nodded towards the two and walked into the hospital with Fang Yuan, while Li Zixiong followed after them. Carefully holding what Xiao Yu had given him, Li Bingguang went to the car behind them; these items couldn't be mishandled in any way.

Fang Yuan saw this behavior from the Li family and showed a look of bewilderment. He already knew something about the Li family's background from the manager of the subsidiary company on the island, knowing that even though they were not as influential as before, their power remained considerable in Taiwan.

He had wanted to tell Xiao Yu about this, but he hadn't gotten the chance when he saw what was happening. After witnessing this scene, Fang Yuan stared at Xiao Yu blankly; if Xiao Yu's success in the deep sea could be explained by his connections there, then it made sense.

But in Taiwan, wasn’t yesterday Xiao Yu’s first visit Moreover, yesterday was also their first meeting with the Li family. Not only did this hospital director and his father pay a visit to Xiao Yu upon their first encounter; last night, Xiao Yu even went over to the Li residence. This morning, they were here early waiting for him, showing extreme respect towards Xiao Yu.

Fang Yuan may not understand what was going on, but he felt a deep sense of admiration for Xiao Yu beyond his bewilderment.

When they reached Jin Xianglin's ward, his complexion had improved significantly. After taking his pulse, Xiao Yu found that Jin Xianglin’s recovery was progressing well.ortunately, though the bones were fractured, they hadn't shattered, meaning that after recovery, there wouldn't be any permanent disability."Do you have splints and bandages" Xiao Yu asked one of the...
