Urban Invincible Medical Divine

Chapter 409: Chapter 283 Can’t Help It_2

He decided to increase the dosage for the treatment, driven by a reluctance to give up without trying again.

But he had never expected that the Life Elixir he was so proud of would actually backfire!!

“What… what do we do now??” Albert looked at Liu Wentian in panic, his tone even carrying a hint of pleading, devoid of any pride. If it became known that Elder Jiang’s premature death was due to his Life Elixir, he would have no good fruit to eat!!

Elder Gu widened his eyes in surprise and said, “Liu Wentian, are you saying that Elder Jiang’s body is already burnt out, could it be——”

Liu Wentian nodded and said, “Heavenly decrepitude, the end is near!!”

“It really is heavenly decrepitude!!” Elder Gu exclaimed, his face then fell in dejection, and he said with a bitter smile, “It seems that there really is no way out.”

“Heavenly decrepitude?? What is heavenly decrepitude??” Albert asked eagerly.

Elder Jiang also showed curiosity in his eyes, but no fear, as if he had no fear of death at all, just a touch of reluctance deep within.

“Heavenly decrepitude refers to filthy clothes, wilted hair on the head, sweating under the armpits, body odor, discomfort in one’s seat – in essence, it’s about one’s time approaching the end, the natural cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death that nobody can change, no one can defy fate!!”

Elder Gu sighed and said, understanding how important this old man was to the nation; this loss, indeed, would be a tremendous one for the country.

“No one can change it??” Hearing this, Albert felt bitterness in his heart, recalling how Liu Wentian had just said that Elder Jiang could have lived for three more months, but now due to his condition, he could only live for one month, nearly wishing he could just die!!

This time, he was in big trouble!!

Elder Jiang’s eyes dimmed, he sighed, and said nothing. Every mortal must die, even heroes face twilight, who could change that.

“Elder Gu, you are mistaken, Elder Jiang still has a chance, at least I can save him.” Liu Wentian said with a smile.

“Elder Gu, you are mistaken, Elder Jiang still has a chance, at least I can save him.” Liu Wentian repeated with a smile.

No sooner had Liu Wentian spoke than Elder Gu looked astonished, Albert was stunned then ecstatic, while Elder Jiang’s eyes shot a keen light, his gaze fixed intensely on Liu Wentian.

Liu Wentian could even feel the several breaths locked on him easing significantly at that moment.

Elder Gu incredulously exclaimed, “Liu Wentian, what are you talking about?? You just said Elder Jiang has heavenly decrepitude, that his end is near, how can there possibly be any hope??”

“No no no!! Since Doctor Liu says there is hope, there must be hope, right??”

Albert eagerly chimed in, now placing his hope entirely on this young man before him, though doubt still lingered in his eyes, apparently unconvinced that Liu Wentian, a young fellow, could truly cure Elder Jiang, but it was all just a desperate attempt anyway.

Liu Wentian nodded and said, “Indeed, it is heavenly decrepitude, but it’s minor heavenly decrepitude, not major heavenly decrepitude. If it were major heavenly decrepitude, even I would be powerless.”

“Minor heavenly decrepitude??” Even Elder Gu was now puzzled; he understood heavenly decrepitude but didn’t know there were degrees to it.

Liu Wentian explained with a smile, “Heavenly decrepitude refers to the body running out of fuel. Major heavenly decrepitude represents a stage in the natural process of life and death that cannot be changed. Minor heavenly decrepitude, however, is caused by external forces.”

His eyes sparkled unusually as he looked at Elder Jiang and said, “If it weren’t for external causes, with Elder Jiang’s cultivation, living several more decades would not be a problem.”

Upon hearing Liu Wentian’s words, a flash of surprise crossed Elder Jiang’s face, followed by a smile. He looked at Liu Wentian with admiration and said with a gentle smile, “Since the old man still has a chance for treatment, then I’ll trouble you, young man.”

“Right, right, right, since there is still a chance for treatment, then Liu Wentian, please start treating Elder Jiang right away!! What do you plan to do, do you need my assistance??” Elder Gu also hurriedly asked.

“Doctor Liu, if you need, I can also assist you!!” Albert eagerly added.

“Weren’t you trying to send me away??” Liu Wentian said with a laugh.

“Uh… Haha!! Haha!! It’s really because you’re so young, that’s why I——” Albert’s face turned awkward, he chuckled twice, unsure of what else to say.

Liu Wentian waved his hand and interrupted him, saying, “Alright, help me prepare a bath barrel, Elder Jiang’s condition right now makes medication useless. The best effect would be to nurture his body through a medicinal bath. Then I will combine it with acupuncture treatment, and afterwards, we can maintain his health with medicinal soup.”

Elder Gu’s eyes lit up, “Right, since Elder Jiang’s body is like a bucket full of holes at the bottom, if you pour water in, it will leak out, so why not just soak him in the bath barrel? A medicinal bath is undoubtedly the most suitable!!”

Soon, the bath barrel was prepared, and the medications Liu Wentian needed were also ready.

In the room, only Elder Jiang and Liu Wentian were left, as Elder Gu and Albert, fearing they might disturb the treatment, stayed outside after learning their assistance was not needed.

Elder Jiang soaked in the bath barrel, the water inside had turned a yellowish-brown, warmed electrically from the bottom, steam rose in abundance, and Elder Jiang’s face was flushed, with sweat profusely drenching his head, looking almost as if he was cooked.

At that moment, the water in the barrel was at 78 degrees, unbearable for most people, but Elder Jiang did not make a sound, his expression calm, not even frowning once.
