Chapter 2343 - Needles and Nerves
"Goodness me! Facing certain death?!"
The words of Master Wang left Liana and the others visibly shaken.
They never imagined the situation would be this serious.
"That damned beast! How dare they plot against Lara? I'll have someone bring that person back immediately!"
Cedrick, unable to contain his anger, swiftly pulled out his phone to make a call.
Attempting to harm the daughter of the head of the World Society is simply courting disaster!
"Doctor Wang! What should we do now? Is there any hope left for my sister?"
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Liana couldn't help but panic.
She had initially sought help from Dustin out of desperation, as she had no better options left.
Now, hearing Master Wang's words, she couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
One was an unknown individual, the other a renowned physician in the martial world.
Comparing the two, she naturally placed more trust in Master Wang.
"If it were anyone else, your sister would be beyond saving, but fortunately, I am here today. As long as your sister still breathes, I can bring her back from the brink of death!" Master Wang confidently declared.
"Then please, Doctor Wang, act swiftly to save her. Once the deed is done, we will surely show our gratitude!" Liana's face lit up with hope.
"Doctor Wang, we are counting on you!" Cedrick clasped his hands together.
"Don't worry, I know what needs to be done."
Master Wang stroked his beard, then approached and began removing the silver needles from Lara's body one by one.
As the needles were removed, Lara's body suddenly started convulsing.
A trickle of dark blood began to flow from her nostrils.
"Doctor Wang, what's happening? My sister seems to be reacting strangely."
The sudden turn of events made Liana instantly tense.
Just moments ago everything seemed fine, but now, after removing the needles, various abnormal symptoms appeared.
Even nosebleeds started to occur.
"Don't fret, it's just a minor issue."
Master Wang calmly reassured them, "The patient's meridians were just unblocked, causing a buildup of toxins. Removing the needles naturally triggers some unusual reactions. There's no need to worry, once the patient takes my medicine, she will be fine in no time."
"Little Liana, Doctor Wang's medical skills are renowned far and wide. With him here, you can rest assured." Cedrick comforted her from the side.
"That's a relief."
Upon hearing this, Liana couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
With Master Wang's reputation preceding him, and his assurance, she believed everything would be alright.
"Apprentice, bring me my elixir water." Master Wang called out.
"Yes!"
His apprentice on the left responded, carefully opening a medicine box and lifting a beautifully crafted jade bottle.
Chapter 2344 - Mystic Mix
The jade bottle, only the size of a fist, crystal clear with intricate patterns engraved on its surface, appeared exceptionally extraordinary.
"Bring the bowl!"
After receiving the jade bottle, Master Wang called out again.
The disciple on the right immediately understood, quickly picked up an empty bowl, and brought it to Master Wang's side.
Master Wang opened the jade bottle and slowly poured the milky white liquid inside into the bowl.
Stopping his hand when it was only one-third full, Master Wang asked, "Do you two know what's in this bowl?"
Master Wang held the bowl, showing off in front of Liana and Cedrick.
"This liquid is as white as snow, with a unique fragrance when smelled. It must not be ordinary, right?" Cedrick cooperated.
"Of course!" Master Wang said proudly, "To be honest, this is the elixir I carefully formulated. Drinking it not only heals injuries and detoxifies but also prolongs life!
Don't be fooled by the small bottle, its value is priceless!
It took me three years to refine this elixir, collecting over ten thousand precious herbs.
And through ancient methods, I simmered it for forty-nine days.
During this time, I had to watch over it the whole time, not even allowing the slightest mistake in the heat.
It was truly a labor of love, and only after much effort did I achieve today's results.
If it were anyone else, I would never bring out such a treasure, only the esteemed members of your organisation are worthy of my attention!"
"Thank you, Master Wang! Your great kindness, we of the organisation will never forget!" Cedrick immediately expressed respect with a bow.
"Master Wang, as long as you can cure my sister, our organisation will grant any request!" Liana also tactfully expressed her attitude.
As the daughter of Darkbane, she was not naive.
Master Wang said so much just to convey that the elixir was precious, and if the illness was cured, the organisation would have to offer more in return.
She didn't care about money; she just wanted her sister to be safe.
"Very well, with your words, I can rest assured."
Seeing that the two understood his hint, Master Wang smiled, stopped talking, and handed half of the bowl of elixir to Liana, "Miss Liana, feed your sister the medicine, once she drinks it, she will be out of danger in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."
Liana nodded, carefully took the elixir, and fed it to Lara spoon by spoon.
Not long after drinking the elixir, Lara on the sickbed suddenly reacted.
Her body trembled as if struck by lightning.
The next moment, a mouthful of blood sprayed out, splattering Liana's face.
Chapter 2345 - Healing Hurdle
Liana was dumbfounded.
Feeling the warm blood on her face, she looked at Lara on the sickbed, her eyes filled with astonishment.
It wasn't just her, the sudden turn of events left Master Wang and Cedrick stunned.
No one expected that Lara's condition would worsen after drinking the divine water.
"Doctor Wang! What... what is going on?" Cedrick's eyes widened, showing signs of nervousness.
"Doctor Wang! You said my sister would be able to come back to life after drinking the divine water! Why is it not working now and she's even coughing up blood?!" Liana was instantly anxious.
"Don't panic, it's just a minor accident, let me carefully diagnose again."
After comforting words, Master Wang quickly approached and began to pulse Lara. Soon, his brows furrowed, "Strange, the patient's pulse is weak and feeble, showing signs of poisoning with insufficient energy and blood. Normally, drinking the divine water should quickly eliminate toxins, so why hasn't it worked?"
The divine water he made not only prolongs life but also detoxifies.
Typically, a sip should have saved Lara from danger.
However, the scene of her coughing up blood caught him off guard.
"Doctor Wang! How is my sister's condition? Can you cure her?!" Liana was full of anxiety and panic.
Her sister was fine, but after Doctor Wang removed the silver needle and administered medicine, her condition deteriorated.
This made her doubt Doctor Wang's medical skills.
"Of course, I can cure her!"
Taking a deep breath, Doctor Wang calmly said, "Although the divine water didn't work as expected, I have other methods to eliminate the toxins in the patient's body."
"Whatever method it is, just cure my sister first!" Liana urged.
"Don't worry, with Doctor Wang here, everything will be fine. Stay calm and don't disturb him while he treats her with needles." Cedrick comforted her.
Liana nodded, suppressing the emotional turmoil within her despite being anxious.
"Apprentice, bring the silver needles!"
Doctor Wang extended his hand.
His apprentice immediately understood, took out a pack of silver needles from the medicine box, quickly opened it, and presented them to Doctor Wang.
With a flick of his sleeve, three silver needles were held between his fingers, then with a swift motion, he accurately pierced Lara's shoulders and chest.
"Lift her up!"
Doctor Wang commanded.
Chapter 2346 - Needle Wizardry
Liana didn't hesitate for a moment. He quickly helped Lara, who was unconscious, to sit up, keeping his back to Master Wang.
"Take a good look! This needle technique of mine is called Huangquan Crossing!" (a signature move of the Huangquan martial arts ) Master Wang shouted, then waved his sleeves, and five silver needles fell between his fingers, followed by a swift flick.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."
The five silver needles shot out instantly, piercing Lara's neck, back, and waist respectively.
"Here comes another round!" Master Wang said as he flicked five more silver needles onto Lara.
Every single needle hit the acupoints with precision.
From the technique of needle application, it was evident that years of practice were required to achieve such mastery.
"Break!" After the needles were inserted, Master Wang extended his index and middle fingers and pressed firmly on the Jueyin acupoint on Lara's back.
Lara trembled all over, and the next second, she spat out a mouthful of black blood, splattering the walls.
With the blood spewing out, Lara's convulsing body finally returned to normal, and even her pale lips gradually regained their color.
She appeared much calmer overall.
"Most of the toxins in the patient's body have been cleared. Just a bit more to drink, and I believe she'll be fine soon," Master Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking somewhat exhausted.
Although the needle technique seemed impressive, it actually consumed a great deal of his energy, leaving him with little qi left in his body.
It would take at least three to five days to fully recover.
If it weren't absolutely necessary, he wouldn't easily resort to using the Huangquan Crossing needle technique.
But for now, the results seemed quite satisfactory.
"Indeed, you're the legendary Physician Wang, truly remarkable!" Cedrick gave a thumbs-up, starting to praise, "I've heard of the Huangquan Crossing needle technique, known for its miraculous effect of turning decay into magic. Just one application, and even a person at death's door can come back to life. Seeing it today, it's truly as renowned as rumored!"
"Bringing the dead back to life might be a stretch, but as long as the patient still has a breath, this old man can ensure their safety," Master Wang smiled proudly.
"Physician Wang is too modest. If not for your intervention, Lara might not have escaped this calamity today," Cedrick clasped his hands together, showing admiration.
"Physician Wang, is my sister really alright?" Watching Lara, who was still unconscious, Liana furrowed his brow slightly, his expression showing no relaxation.
Although his sister's complexion had improved slightly and she seemed calmer, her breathing and pulse remained weak, showing no signs of improvement.
"What? You doubt my medical skills?" Master Wang stood with his hands behind his back, somewhat displeased. "I've traveled the world for so many years and have never encountered an illness I couldn't cure. I can assure you, as long as the patient takes another sip of the Divine Water, she'll wake up immediately. If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself!"
Chapter 2347 - Miracle Turns Sour
"Trust, trust, trust. We naturally believe in what Master Wang says."
Cedrick chuckled and said, "If it weren't for Master Wang's miraculous intervention today, turning decay into magic, Miss Liana would probably have already perished."
"Just a small effort, nothing much."
Master Wang adjusted his beard proudly and said, "Apprentice San, give the patient a few sips of the elixir, let Miss Liana witness the true skills of her master."
"Yes!"
The apprentice on the left responded, then carefully fed Lara two sips of the elixir by the bedside.
After drinking the elixir, Lara's legs twitched, and then she fell silent.
The apprentice who fed her the medicine hesitated, then tentatively reached out to check Lara's breathing.
In an instant, he recoiled as if shocked, his face filled with fear, "Master! The... the patient has no breath!"
"What?!"
With these words, everyone's faces turned pale.
Even Master Wang, who was just confident moments ago, was now somewhat bewildered.
"No breath? How is that possible?"
Master Wang couldn't believe it, pushed his apprentice aside, and personally checked Lara's pulse, only to find that her pulse had stopped beating.
She had even stopped breathing.
"How could this happen? It shouldn't be like this?"
At this moment, Master Wang finally panicked.
First, he used the Huangquan Crossing to draw out the impurities in Lara's body, then supplemented her with the elixir. The steps were flawless.
Normally, after drinking the elixir, Lara should not only wake up immediately but also replenish her vital energy and blood, allowing her body to recover significantly.
But what was happening now?
Lara not only failed to wake up but also stopped breathing. Where did things go wrong?
"Master Wang! You said everything was fine! Why is my sister not breathing?!"
Liana grabbed Master Wang's clothes, her emotions extremely agitated.
Before the treatment, there were grand promises and guarantees, but now everything was going awry.
First, convulsions, then bleeding, and now no breath.
This wasn't a miracle-working doctor, this was clearly a quack!
"Master Wang! What... what is going on?"
Cedrick frowned, his eyes filled with suspicion.
"Don't panic, don't panic! It's just a false death phenomenon, she can still be saved, she can still be saved!"
Master Wang wiped his sweat, trying to maintain composure.
Having travelled the world for so many years, treating countless patients, he had faced scenes like this before.
The only difference this time was that the patient's background was too powerful. If he couldn't cure her, not only the payment was at stake, but even the reputation of his clinic.
Chapter 2348 - A Pill for Life
So the pressure is inevitably a bit overwhelming.
"You'd better be able to save my sister, otherwise I'll make you all accompany her in burial!" Liana roared.
At this moment, she was on the verge of rage.
If she knew Master Wang was such a waste, she wouldn't have believed the other party's words and removed the silver needles from her sister.
If her sister really died, she would never let it go.
"Apprentice San! Quick! Bring out the Revival Pill!"
Master Wang dared not hide anything and immediately ordered his disciple to take out his precious treasure.
The Revival Pill was an exquisite elixir that he had spent a fortune on and begged from the Stoneray Valley as a huge favor.
It was rumored to have the effect of bringing the dead back to life, hence its name.
No matter who it was, no matter how severe the injury, even if there was no breath or pulse, as long as they took the Revival Pill, they could temporarily preserve their life.
This Revival Pill was originally his cherished treasure left for himself, a lifesaving treasure for critical moments.
Countless wealthy and powerful figures were willing to pay a sky-high price to buy it, but he had always been reluctant to sell.
But today, in order to save Lara and to save his own life, he had to give up the Revival Pill.
"Master! The Revival Pill!"
His disciple, named Apprentice San, opened a hidden compartment in the medicine box, quickly took out an exquisite wooden box, and handed it to Master Wang.
Master Wang opened the wooden box and saw a golden pill lying inside.
The pill was crystal clear, and under the sunlight, it emitted a golden halo, shining like gold, looking very beautiful.
With every breath, a unique fragrance could be smelled, refreshing and invigorating.
"So this is the legendary Revival Pill that can bring people back from the dead? It's truly extraordinary!"
Cedrick's eyes sparkled with amazement.
He had naturally heard of the Revival Pill from the Stoneray Valley, it was an invaluable treasure that money couldn't buy.
Due to the scarcity of medicinal materials, the Stoneray Valley could only produce one Revival Pill every ten years.
Its precious value was self-evident.
It was clear that Master Wang, popularly known as Dr. Linden Watkins (The Medicine King), had offered up all his cherished treasures.
"With the Revival Pill, the patient will definitely be safe!"
Master Wang took a deep breath, then with great reluctance, fed the Revival Pill to Lara.
This was an invaluable treasure that was irreplaceable. If it weren't for being forced, he truly wouldn't want to use it on anyone else.
Now, he could only pray that the Revival Pill would be as legendary as it was said to be, bringing Lara back from the brink of death.
Otherwise, he would probably have to stay here today.
If he killed the daughter of the head of the Tianxia Hui Sect, even ten lives wouldn't be enough to compensate!
?
that's not why...
