CHAPTER 1138: CHAPTER 1131: MR. LIN, SAVE ME

The golden spiritual energy within Luuo Jiachen’s mother was so faint when Lin Tian first probed it, giving no indication of anything unusual.

But now, as he performed a direct pulse check, the golden qi interacted with him, an abrupt change occurred.

The Nine-Turned Chaotic Pearl in his mind suddenly emitted intense fluctuations.

An intermittent pain began to emanate from deep inside his mind.

This familiar pain reminded Lin Tian of the school badge from the Yanjing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine lying in his storage bag, and the girl he encountered by chance in Bin City.

Even so.

Upon a swift internal scan, Lin Tian discovered that in the empty slot of the gold sub-ball deep in his mind’s Nine-Turned Chaotic Pearl, a faint golden light was flickering intermittently.

"Is it really such a coincidence? The golden qi on her body is definitely the aura of the gold sub-ball!"

Lin Tian took a deep breath in secret, finding it somewhat incredulous. Coming to the Luuo Family was partly due to an arrangement with Weng Xiyun to make a stop at Huairou City, and partly to try his luck. To actually find it here made him both speechless and grateful, "This trip, curing Luuo Jiachen’s mother’s illness and discovering the whereabouts of the gold ball, would make it all worthwhile!"

The more he thought about it, the more excited Lin Tian became.

"It seems that the girl from the Yanjing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine I met in Bin City must have something related to the gold ball on her! Or, she might be contaminated with the sub-ball’s aura?"

Lin Tian felt more convinced in his heart, secretly pondering, "If this is the case, besides what’s in front of me, it’s akin to obtaining another sub-ball! If I manage to collect all the sub-balls, this Nine-Turned Chaotic Pearl that brought me to Earth might hold many secrets I haven’t discovered. Perhaps, it might even directly bring me back to the Nine Heavens Continent..."

Meanwhile.

While Lin Tian was contemplating.

Guu Liangsheng looked over with a shocked expression, asking, "How do you know about these herbs? It’s impossible! The Sinking Grass and Ba Muuu are only planted by me on Sword Saint Mountain, the seeds were found by the old man in Zhoushan City, East Sea State years ago, and they’re supposedly extinct! Moreover, this prescription was personally concocted by me! How could you possibly know?"

Extinct?

Lin Tian’s lips slightly curved, secretly finding it amusing.

Sinking Grass and Ba Muuu, such herbs, in his previous life on the Nine Heavens Continent, he had seen countless times, as common as roadside weeds.

How could he not recognize them!

As for this so-called prescription, he had tried countless similar concoctions using Sinking Grass and the like.

Such a prescription, Lin Tian could identify at a glance.

Hearing Guu Liangsheng’s words, he snapped back, calming the excitement from the news of the gold ball.

But.

Lin Tian didn’t explain how he recognized the prescription.

Instead, he continued, "The four herbs: Sinking Grass, Angelica dahurica, Shu Huang, and Ba Muuu are indeed effective in dissolving the golden qi, that’s not wrong! But, whoever added some ginseng thought it enhanced the efficacy, but actually, it neutralized the effects of the others, forming an energy more easily absorbed by the golden qi. Put simply, administering this prescription would exacerbate her condition, making her... die faster!"

With those words, the faces of Luuo Jingwu and the others altered dramatically, their gazes falling on Guu Liangsheng with astonishment and suspicion.

"What nonsense are you spouting? How could my master’s prescription be flawed!"

Cheen Yan loudly scolded Lin Tian.

But Guu Liangsheng stared fixedly at Lin Tian, saying coldly, "For someone so familiar with these herbs, I must admit that you likely possess some skill! Then tell me, what herbs should be added?"

’Poyun Flower!’

Lin Tian casually mentioned an herb that left Guu Liangsheng bewildered, then continued, "But even if I give you the Poyun Flower, you still wouldn’t be able to cure her!"

Guu Liangsheng furrowed his brows, his face filled with astonishment, "This is the first time I’ve heard of such a herb! After all this talk, can you cure her?"

"Master, I think he’s completely bluffing! Your herbal combination, perhaps he only learned about it by chance and just happened to encounter it!"

Seeing that even Guu Liangsheng was powerless against the current illness, Cheen Yan began to hope that Lin Tian would also fail to cure this bizarre Gold Stone Blood condition, otherwise he and his master would suffer a significant loss of face, and eventually, many in the Cultivation World would mock them. The renowned Sword Saint Mountain Medical Master being outshone by a youth in medical skill would be an invisible slap of ridicule to their reputation.

Therefore.

Cheen Yan rather hoped Lin Tian would also be at a loss for the current condition.

Lin Tian ignored the two, turning to Luuo Jiachen, saying: "Go to the outer hall, from the scattered herbs on the ground, bring a white herb with hairy leaves!"

Luuo Jiachen was momentarily stunned, but quickly reacted, ultimately following Lin Tian’s instructions, turning around and running to the hall.

Shortly, Luuo Jiachen returned, holding a white herb.

"Isn’t this Wen Que Grass? It’s just a supportive herb!"

Cheen Yan widened his eyes at the sight of the herb Luuo Jiachen brought, bewildered, then glanced at Guu Liangsheng, finding him equally stunned.

"Wen Que Grass, a support herb? Haha, this is the Poyun Flower!"

Lin Tian took the herb from Luuo Jiachen’s hands, speaking as he did, "The Poyun Flower never blooms from growth to withering! The only time it blooms... is the moment it’s processed into medicine!"

These words left Guu Liangsheng and Cheen Yan feeling as though they were in a fog.

Could such a thing be true?

Why had they never encountered such a phenomenon during past preparations?

Even Guu Liangsheng found his mind growing fuzzy.

"You haven’t encountered it because your methods are incorrect! Of course, even if I explained it to you..."

Lin Tian placed the Poyun Flower in his palm, rubbing it gently, and spoke calmly.

"Are you confident you can cure her?"

Guu Liangsheng, hearing Lin Tian’s confident words, finally asked.

"Half a minute!"

Lin Tian slightly smiled, nodding, his words filled with certainty.

Half a minute?

Everyone was shocked, even the Luuo Family members couldn’t believe it.

"Are you teasing the old man?"

At this moment, Guu Liangsheng felt that Lin Tian was acting rashly, treating the treatment frivolously.

Yet, Lin Tian ignored him, rubbing his hands together a few times. Then he suddenly struck the woman’s abdomen with his palm, silver needles flashing like lightning, landing on numerous acupuncture points on the woman.

And under the palm pressed against the woman’s abdomen, a stream of golden qi flowed like a brook into Lin Tian’s body.

At the same time.

In the moment the golden qi flowed into his body, Lin Tian discovered that the Nine-Turned Chaotic Pearl in his mind began to vibrate continuously, devouring all the golden qi.

In less than half a minute.

The golden qi vanished, and Lin Tian withdrew his hand.

The woman lying in bed suddenly fluttered her eyelashes, then opened her eyes, her face puzzled.

Witnessing this scene.

Everyone was astonished, Guu Liangsheng and Cheen Yan were especially stupefied.

"This... how could this be?!!"

Guu Liangsheng couldn’t help but exclaim in shock, unable to believe what he saw, which completely overturned his understanding of the medical skill world.

He had never seen or even heard of such fearsome medical techniques!

"Savior! Mr. Lin... save my life! Please look at my granddaughter, she inherited an odd condition... she won’t live past 25..."

Biaan Mingyu, standing by, suddenly knelt before Lin Tian, shouting loudly, his face excited, filled with pleading words.
