The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 695: Chapter 695 He’s Hurt, I Can Heal!

“Alright, now I’m going back to the City God Temple. If you want your injuries healed, come with me.” Huang Xiaolong smiled at Ji Zhengyu, got in his car, and drove off.

Realizing the gravity of his situation, Ji Zhengyu didn’t dare to dally. He had also driven over and quickly got back into his car, following closely behind Huang Xiaolong.

As he drove, Ji Zhengyu let out a sigh. “Ah, Zhengyu, proud as you’ve always been, who would have thought you’d have to lower your head to someone today…but let it be. If I don’t, I might not live longer than three years, and that would be really unfortunate…”

City God Temple.

Two cars pulled up and stopped.

Looking up at the temple, Ji Zhengyu could only marvel at its majestic splendor.

...

“Master, is this your Taoist temple?” Ji Zhengyu asked, a look of earnest admiration on his face.

“Hmm, you could say it’s my territory,” Huang Xiaolong replied with a smile.

After a pause, Huang Xiaolong told Ji Zhengyu, “Your injury has migrated from your liver to your heart. That’s one of the most critical organs, maybe even more than the brain. Once there’s a problem with it, your life hangs by a thread.”

Huang Xiaolong was not trying to scare him. He was simply telling Ji Zhengyu the harsh reality.

Panic swept over Ji Zhengyu, and he urgently begged, “Master, I implore you… save me.”@@novelbin@@

“Listen, when we get to my City God Temple, burn an incense in my honor. If you are sincere, I’ll save you. If you aren’t… you can only blame yourself for bringing death upon your own head.” Huang Xiaolong bore no ill-will towards Ji Zhengyu. Saving him would not be a great effort. Besides, having him as an underling would bear no harm, only potential benefits.

Huang Xiaolong was planning to intervene, but he figured making Ji Zhengyu burn incense would garner more goodwill from the general populace. A win-win situation.

“Yes, Master, I shall go and light the incense.” Ji Zhengyu didn’t quite understand how lighting incense was connected to healing, but he didn’t dare to disobey Huang Xiaolong.

At that moment, Ji Zhengyu’s phone began to ring. He offered an apologetic look towards Huang Xiaolong, then answered the call after checking the caller ID, a flicker of anger crossing his eyes.

After a short exchange, Ji Zhengyu abruptly ended the call, a scowl on his face.

“What happened?” asked Huang Xiaolong, sounding nonchalant.

“Master… it was… one of my rivals, ridiculing and insulting me over the phone…” Ji Zhengyu replied indignantly. “He’s from the Bian Family, there’s long been bad blood between us. After he learned I was injured, he took pleasure in my misfortune and was glad of my imminent death. Now coming to Dong’an city, he did not forget to pour salt on my wound. I told him I’ve found a remarkable healer. Not only did he not believe me, but he also mocked me generously, incessantly saying he would like to see the person who had the audacity to claim that I could be saved… Master, I did seek the Bian Family’s help with my injury before, but not even they had any cure…”

“The Bian Family?” Huang Xiaolong smirked.

Huang Xiaolong’s grudge with the Bian Family was a deep one; during their last run-in at Canglong Ridge, Bian Mudong and his comrades all met with an ill fate. The Bian Family was bound to blame Huang Xiaolong sooner or later!

“Since the Bian Family doesn’t believe I can cure you, why don’t you let him come and see for himself?” said Huang Xiaolong, laughing.

“Well… okay… Master, I’ll lead him here so he can witness your remarkable skills personally. The Bian Family look down on everyone; they are convinced they reign supreme in the medical field… these frogs in the well, unable to see the grand ocean. I hope you can give them a sound slap in the face!” said Ji Zhengyu, bootlicking Huang Xiaolong smoothly.

With that, Ji Zhengyu sent his location to the person from the Bian Family.

The group made their way to the front hall and sat down.

Ma Chuxia brought over some spiritual water for everyone to quench their thirst.

Once inside City God Temple, Ji Zhengyu experienced a sense of clarity overwhelming his consciousness and a peaceful mood settled over him. The flurry of thoughts in his mind began to dissipate. Feeling invigorated, his admiration for Huang Xiaolong deepened even further, and he gained more trust in Huang Xiaolong’s ability to heal him.

After drinking the spiritual water, Ji Zhengyu felt his pores opening, an overall sensation of comfort swept over him. He praised, “What an extraordinary drink! Master, what is this? It’s incredibly refreshing! Like the legendary Jadescent Nectar!”

“Mm, the water is ordinary. What makes it special is that it was blessed within the City God Temple and turned into spiritual water,” Huang Xiaolong explained casually.

Ji Zhengyu was truly astounded, further convinced of Huang Xiaolong’s unfathomability.

Soon, the sound of a car braking could be heard outside the temple followed by a car door opening and closing. A very arrogant male voice then rang out, “Hahaha~~~, Ji Zhengyu, I can’t believe you ran to a Taoist temple for treatment. Are you resorting to praying to gods and Buddha for salvation? Hahaha~~~ That’s hilarious! No one under heaven can treat the injuries you’ve sustained. I urge you to resign to your fate!”

“Master, that… that jerk has arrived. He’s very spiteful and never misses an opportunity to ridicule me,” said Ji Zhengyu through gritted teeth.

Soon, a tall and handsome man walked into the front hall with an arrogant gait, projecting an aura of lofty dominance.

Huang Xiaolong could tell at a glance that this man had condensed 50 strands of True Qi within his body – he was on par with Ji Zhengyu.

This man emanated a medicinal scent unique to the Bian Family.

“Hmm?” The man shot a look at Ji Zhengyu, his face twisting into a gleeful smirk. “Ji Zhengyu, it seems your condition has worsened! Let me take your pulse!”

Ji Zhengyu was about to retort angrily, but Huang Xiaolong gestured subtly for him to restrain his temper.

The man from the Bian Family eagerly moved towards Ji Zhengyu, placing two fingers on Ji Zhengyu’s right wrist to take his pulse.

After a few breaths, the man burst into uproarious laughter, his amusement and schadenfreude palpable. “Ji Zhengyu! Your condition has not simply worsened, it’s multiplied several times over! What’s more, your injury has moved from your liver to your heart! Hahaha~~~ You haven’t much longer to live! Better go back and start planning your funeral! Look at you, you’re so pitiful. You and I used to always compete, but now, you are about to die. How pathetic… Hahaha~~~”

Unable to contain his anger, Ji Zhengyu retorted, “Indeed, my condition has worsened. But lamentably for you, I am not destined to fulfill your wishes today! I have found this great Master who can save me!”

“Bullshit! If even my Bian Family can’t save you, no one in this world can save you! You might as well wait for death!” scoffed the man from the Bian Family venomously. “Who claimed to be able to save you? They must be a fraud!”

Switching his attention to Huang Xiaolong, the man sneered, “You can save him? Hahaha~~~ That’s the biggest lie I’ve ever heard! If even the Bian Family can’t save him, how can you? Who do you think you are?”

“I can save him, of course. Compared to their skills, the Bian Family’s medical expertise really isn’t all that impressive,” Huang Xiaolong retorted with a laugh.

“You! Are asking for death!” Hearing this, the man from Bian Family was seething with anger. Killing intent flashed in his eyes, he twitched his fingers, apparently preparing to make a move on Huang Xiaolong.

“You may not disrespect the Master! Get lost!” Ji Zhengyu got up, his True Qi whirled around him creating an intimidating aura.

“Hahaha~~~ In that case, I’ll treat him today. If his condition improves, I’ll see you out of here, how does that sound? ” Huang Xiaolong wasn’t about to display courtesy to anyone from the Bian Family.

“This is preposterous!” The man from the Bian Family laughed uproariously, consumed by rage. “Fine, you do your thing. If you are able to cure Ji Zhengyu, I won’t protest about leaving, I’ll even maim my own arm without qualms. However, should you fail, I’ll break all the bones in your body, and then have you kneel before me and confess!”
