Great Immortal Doctor

The patient, witnessing the withering and disappearance of the tumors on his body, was both astounded and overjoyed. He took the prescription from Xiao Yi, bowed deeply with all his might, and said with a sobbing voice, "Thank you, Doctor Xiao. You've saved my life!"

Xiao Yi felt a surge of merit power several times thicker than usual suddenly pour into his sea of consciousness. His sea of consciousness trembled, and the surrounding objects became much clearer.

"Oh, I didn't expect to obtain such a substantial amount of merit power," Xiao Yi was slightly taken aback.

Throughout the Body - Tempering Stage, what Xiao Yi cared about were mainly two things: one was his physical constitution, and the other was his spiritual consciousness. The improvement of the physical constitution should be gradual and cannot be achieved instantaneously; otherwise, the foundation would surely be unstable. However, the stronger the spiritual consciousness, the better.

Now, curing this terminal illness had enabled Xiao Yi to gain so much merit power. He was elated and quickly helped the patient up, saying, "You're welcome. Go pay for the medicine."

When it came to paying, the patient was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to give the money to Xiao Yi or to Baicao Hall.

"It doesn't matter. Just go get the medicine. I'll give you this acupuncture treatment for free today," Xiao Yi said calmly after washing his hands.

"Xiao Yi, this acupuncture of yours is enough to shock the world!" Li Qingshan rushed in front of Xiao Yi, saying excitedly.

"Chu Bohuai, what do you have to say for yourself now?" Li Qingshan, in his excitement, turned around and pointed at Chu Bohuai.

At this moment, Chu Bohuai was already out of breath, slumped in a chair, with cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

"This... this..." Chu Bohuai's hand trembled, and the purple - sand teapot he had been rubbing for decades suddenly fell to the ground and shattered.

"Good heavens! He actually made the second - in - charge of Baicao Hall lose face. Who is this young doctor? I must go to him for treatment!"

"Didn't you hear? He's the successor of the Four - Elephant Acupuncture Technique."

"Whatever the acupuncture technique is, as long as he can cure diseases, he's a good traditional Chinese medicine doctor. There are too few effective traditional Chinese medicine doctors these days."

People were whispering among themselves, and their gazes towards Xiao Yi were filled with awe.

"Chu Bohuai, a bet is a bet. The century - old Ganoderma lucidum king of Baicao Hall will probably change hands today, right?" Li Qingshan wasn't usually an overbearing person, but Chu Bohuai's actions just now had really made him angry. So now, Li Qingshan spared no effort to stand up for Xiao Yi.

Upon hearing this, Chu Bohuai's whole body trembled. The century - old Ganoderma lucidum king had long been an integral part of Baicao Hall. Losing it in his hands today, Chu Bohuai felt his heart turn cold. But looking at the written bet in black and white, in front of everyone, he had no way to renege.

Cold sweat drenched his entire body. Chu Bohuai feebly waved his hand, instructing his subordinates to fetch the key. With his fingers trembling wildly, he opened the display cabinet that had been locked for decades.

As soon as the cabinet door was opened, a strong aura rushed into Xiao Yi's nostrils. This top - notch treasure for alchemy, Xiao Yi had set his eyes on it as soon as he entered. How could he show mercy now? In full view of everyone, Xiao Yi picked up the thirty - kilogram Ganoderma lucidum king and said with a faint smile, "I'm honored."

Chu Bohuai looked at the Ganoderma lucidum king, which his elder brother had regarded as a treasure. His face turned deathly pale, but he couldn't say a word.

"The century - old Ganoderma lucidum king has been won away. Baicao Hall in Haicheng has really lost a lot of face," people whispered, looking at Chu Bohuai.

Many people, almost simultaneously, uploaded the videos they had just recorded on their phones to the Internet.

"Little miracle doctor challenges Baicao Hall, and the century - old Ganoderma lucidum king changes hands on the spot."

"The notorious Bosica tumor is successfully cured by the little miracle doctor in Haicheng."

Titles like these soon appeared on various websites, quickly setting off a frenzy of clicks.

Naturally, Xiao Yi was unaware of this. He returned to Jishitang with the century - old Ganoderma lucidum king.

As soon as he got home, Xiao Yi got to work. He set up the Eight - Trigram Fire - God Spirit - Gathering Formation and placed the alchemy cauldron on it.

This time, using the century - old Ganoderma lucidum king as the main ingredient, Xiao Yi intended to refine a batch of Marrow - Washing and Bone - Strengthening Pills. This kind of pill was precisely suitable for Xiao Yi to take at this time. Having just undergone the process of expelling impurities and cleansing the marrow not long ago, the Marrow - Washing and Bone - Strengthening Pills could maximize the strengthening of Xiao Yi's bones and meridians, making his physique more solid and consolidating the effects of body - tempering.

The Ganoderma lucidum king was too large, so Xiao Yi only selected a part of it and added other herbal medicines as supplements.

After two hours of focused alchemy, the process finally ended. Xiao Yi lifted the lid of the Water - Fire Suspended - Embryo Cauldron.

A strong aroma wafted out. At the bottom of the cauldron, there were twelve fiery - red pills, all of which had reached the quality of first - grade and fourth - rank.

This was quite a surprise to Xiao Yi. It seemed that the century - old Ganoderma lucidum king was truly extraordinary. No wonder the Chu family had always regarded it as a treasure.

Xiao Yi carefully took out the twelve Marrow - Washing and Bone - Strengthening Pills, putting eleven of them into an exquisite small jade bottle to ensure that the medicinal power wouldn't dissipate.

As for the last pill, he raised his head and threw it into his mouth. As soon as it entered his mouth, the pill emitted a strong medicinal fragrance and slid down Xiao Yi's throat.

Xiao Yi quickly circulated the Profound Medical Canon to absorb the medicinal power of the Marrow - Washing and Bone - Strengthening Pill.

This time, there was no such pain as when the Marrow - Cleansing Pill was tempering his body. Instead, it was a gentle, spring - like feeling. His meridians were widened again, and with the penetration of the medicinal power, they became more condensed.

A faint cracking sound gradually sounded in his body, a total of 206 sounds, which were the sounds of each bone in Xiao Yi's body being tempered by the medicinal power.

When the cracking sound finally disappeared, Xiao Yi slowly finished his cultivation and jumped up from the bed. Although his cultivation level didn't increase immediately, his physique was no longer what it used to be.

This made Xiao Yi very happy. In the Body - Tempering Stage, one should not seek rapid progress but rather a solid foundation. Otherwise, during the Heavenly Tribulation, one would surely face the big problem of an unstable physical body. How many cultivators had been reduced to ashes by the thunder of the Heavenly Tribulation because of this?

Xiao Yi, being a reborn person, naturally understood these matters better than anyone else.

He went out to check the sky and found that it was already evening. Shu Wan's driver had also arrived at the door.

Xiao Yi got into the car and rushed all the way to Triumph Villa. He found that Shu Wan's villa was extremely lively tonight. There were no fewer than twenty luxury cars parked in the yard, including Porsches, Bentleys, Maseratis, Rolls - Royces, etc., clearly visible. It was almost like a luxurious car show.

"Doctor Xiao, Miss Shu is holding a small - scale dance party tonight. Many celebrities in Haicheng have come," Shu Wan's driver said respectfully to Xiao Yi.

"Oh," Xiao Yi nodded. He vaguely guessed that Shu Wan's dance party this time must be related to the Jade - Muscle Ointment.

"Doctor Xiao, Miss Shu specifically instructed that you should take a short rest in the hall. She's doing her makeup and can't come down to greet you in person," the driver said cautiously.

"It doesn't matter," Xiao Yi waved his hand and walked straight into the villa.

As soon as he entered the villa, he saw colorful lights hanging high, people drinking and chatting merrily. Dozens of well - dressed men and women were slowly dancing. Servants in neat and clean clothes skillfully carried drinks and shuttled through the crowd as if their feet didn't touch the ground. It was truly a scene of debauchery.

How could Xiao Yi disdain such worldly entertainment? After entering the door, he found a chair and sat down on his own.

The servant quickly brought drinks. Xiao Yi asked for a glass of soda water, sipped it quietly, and watched the pleasure - seeking crowd with a cold eye.

However, not long after he sat down, a surprised cry came from the side: "Xiao Yi!"

Xiao Yi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a girl with a fluffy braid, wearing a Bohemian - style long dress, running towards him in surprise. Her inexpensive clothes and casual dress were in stark contrast to the deliberately dressed people here, like a Cinderella in simple clothes. But she also exuded a rare freshness and naturalness, which made Xiao Yi's eyes light up.

A thought flashed through Xiao Yi's mind. According to the memories of his previous self, he immediately recognized the girl in front of him.

Ying Ruo, a distant relative of the Xiao family who was fostered in the Xiao family since childhood. She followed behind a few of Xiao Yi's female cousins, acting as a lackey at their beck and call. She was quite delicate - looking, but there were many small freckles on her face and nose, which had always been the subject of ridicule by those female cousins.

Her experience in the Xiao family was not much better than that of Xiao Yi's previous self. However, the girl had a strong will. No matter what happened, she endured it tenaciously, and thus was able to survive in the Xiao family. Although Ying Ruo didn't have the ability to stand up for Xiao Yi openly when he was being bullied, she had secretly helped him a lot.

This girl was also the only friend Xiao Yi had in the abnormal Xiao family.

So, seeing the girl at this moment, the remaining subconscious in Xiao Yi's mind churned. A knowing smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

"Xiao Yi, why are you here too? You've been gone for so many days without a word," Ying Ruo stood beside Xiao Yi, sniffing her nose cheerfully. Because of her excitement, a few small freckles on her nose turned red, making her look even more lively and beautiful.

"I just came to have a look. Hello, Ying Ruo," Xiao Yi greeted her with a smile.

Ying Ruo was slightly stunned. She felt that Xiao Yi at this moment seemed a bit different from a few days ago, but she couldn't exactly tell what was different.

This thought flashed by, and Ying Ruo didn't think much about it. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the dancing crowd, then leaned towards Xiao Yi worriedly and said, "Xiao Pengbo and Xiao Na are also here tonight. Be careful. If they see you, you'll surely be ridiculed again."

"Okay," Xiao Yi nodded lightly. Images corresponding to these two names quickly emerged in his mind.

Since Xiao Yi didn't know who his father was, he took his mother's surname at birth. Xiao Pengbo, whom Zhou Ying Ruo mentioned, was the son of Xiao Yi's uncle, three years older than Xiao Yi. He was currently also the key successor being cultivated by the Xiao Group. He was extremely insidious and was known as the "smiling snake" in the circle. Xiao Na was Xiao Pengbo's younger sister. Her biggest characteristics were extravagance and indulgence. She had all the common vices of rich girls. The evil deeds these two had done to Xiao Yi from childhood to adulthood were simply too numerous to mention.
