Liu Zixuan did not pursue the matter with them any further, but instead offered to treat Li Ruqi.

The old woman naturally felt grateful in her heart, but they were from the Medicine Saint Clan, one of the few National Doctor families in Star Sea. If they couldn't find a solution, how could a young doctor they met suddenly be able to cure him?

"Young man, we appreciate your kindness, but this Scattered Spirit Disease is extremely risky; one slight mistake could result in immediate death. Let us think of other ways first!"

Liu Zixuan clearly saw the old woman's concern: "Granny, Scattered Spirit Disease is caused by years of drug testing, leading to the gradual recession of taste, smell, sight, hearing, and perception, ultimately resulting in a vegetative state. However, this state is different from the usual one!"

"Every three days, his skin will begin to ulcerate, starting from the feet. Once it spreads to the fingers, the patient with Scattered Spirit Disease will completely lose vitality!"

"Li Ruqi has just contracted the disease, but the unusual medicines he tried before will speed up his death. If I'm not mistaken, his taste and smell have already begun to deteriorate!"

Listening to Liu Zixuan, the old woman frowned: "What are you trying to say?"

"The Nether Spirit Needle can indeed save him, but it requires the combination of twenty-seven herbs. If you don't trust me, I can lend you my clinic, and you can use the Nether Spirit Needle to treat him yourself!" Liu Zixuan said with a smile.

It is said that the heart of a healer is benevolent. Liu Zixuan would have helped even if it were someone else, not to mention Li Ruqi, a descendant of the Medicine Saint!

The essence accumulated by the Medicine Saint throughout his life is recorded in the "Holy Medical Scripture" Liu Zixuan has been studying. Out of personal affection, this serves as a return favor to the Medicine Saint.

Out of fairness, National Doctor traditions are declining, and families inheriting such ancient skills are also waning. Now that he has encountered them, he should naturally lend a hand!

The old woman looked at Liu Zixuan with curiosity; she had initially assumed that a young doctor would only have barely entered the field, even if they studied National Medicine. How did he know so much? He even knew how to treat the disease!

He also mentioned he wasn't a successor of any branch of National Medicine, so who was he really?

She then asked: "Young man, could you tell me your master's name? From what you just said, your medical skills might be more advanced than I imagined!"

"My master might not be someone you've heard of, but you probably know the 'Holy Medical Scripture,' right?" Liu Zixuan replied with a meaningful smile.

"Isn't that the treasure compiling the essence of National Doctor saints from ancient to modern times?" The old woman widened her eyes: "But didn't the 'Holy Medical Scripture' disappear over two hundred years ago?"

"It just so happens to be in my possession!" Liu Zixuan smiled: "I hope, Granny, you can keep this secret for me!"

Liu Zixuan would never reveal something about the Holy Medical Scripture unless he wanted them to trust him; it involved his beautiful master and the entire field of National Medicine!

The Ghost Gate Needle is a treasure for National Doctors, while the Holy Medical Scripture is the foundational treasure for National Medicine!

If either were known, it would stir up turmoil across the entire Star Sea!

"Earlier, I was too blind to see! I never expected such a young successor to possess such a treasure!" The old woman murmured seriously.

She immediately told Li Ruqi: "Quick, kneel down and thank your benefactor!"

"Ah?"

"Don't just stand there, hurry up. Besides those few reclusive old masters, this young benefactor is the only one who can save you now!" the old woman said sternly.

Li Ruqi seemed to obey the old woman but hesitated in front of Liu Zixuan. Just as he was about to kneel, Liu Zixuan quickly stopped him.

"We're not in those times anymore; there's no need to kneel!"

Liu Zixuan smiled: "Granny Li, with National Doctors worldwide in decline, it's my fortune to meet a descendant of the Medicine Saint here. Let's skip the formalities; perhaps in the future, I might need your help with herbs!"

Listening to Liu Zixuan, the old woman's eyes were full of admiration; it's rare for young people like Liu Zixuan, who are considerate and magnanimous, to still exist nowadays.

"This kindness today, our Li Family will remember. If you're ever in trouble, feel free to come to us."

Liu Zixuan nodded: "It's getting late. I have a clinic in the city. If you don't mind, you can stay there tonight. Tomorrow morning, I'll begin treating Li Ruqi!"

"Thank you very much!"

With that, Liu Zixuan led them out to the street, as his car was still parked outside due to the Temple of the God of Wealth.

When they reached the car, Liu Zixuan paused, glancing around.

"What's wrong?" the old woman asked.

Liu Zixuan shook his head and sat in the driver's seat.

From the time they left the Temple of the God of Wealth, Liu Zixuan felt eyes watching him, but upon closer inspection, he couldn't find anything!

Was he just being overly cautious?

Liu Zixuan mused to himself as he drove toward the clinic.

Shortly after he left, a figure emerged from the temple, too obscured by the night to discern his features, muttering quietly, "Liu Zixuan, not that impressive!"

...

With the late hour, Liu Zixuan took the old woman and Li Ruqi to the clinic. After settling them in, he left right away.

Of course, Liu Zixuan didn't inquire much about the Li Family, such as why a Medicine Saint descendant would be here or how they knew about the Nether Spirit Needle.

He didn't ask about these things; if the old woman wanted to tell him, she would. If not, it surely involved other secrets, perhaps related to their family matters.

When he arrived at the small bridge apartment, it was already midnight. Not wanting to disturb Liu Ruyan and Jiang Yiyi, he washed up and went to bed!

The next morning, while Liu Zixuan was having breakfast, his phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the familiar name on the screen, Liu Zixuan answered with a smile, "Good morning, Wei Lao!"

"Good morning." Wei Lao asked curiously: "Did you sell your clinic, little miracle doctor?"

"No, why do you ask?"

"I was about to visit your clinic, but everyone there seemed unfamiliar, so I wondered if you had sold it."

Liu Zixuan laughed: "No, they are out-of-town patients coming for treatment, so I let them stay there. Is there something you need help with, Wei Lao?"

"Absolutely, I wouldn't trouble you otherwise," Wei Lao said, pausing. "I received a call this morning saying an important figure is coming here for treatment, and I thought you might want to take a look too."

"An important figure?" Liu Zixuan said unsurely. Ghost Wood City's business world is quite renowned, but its medical reputation isn't very high nationally. Why would an important person come here for treatment?
