CHAPTER 32: CHAPTER 0032: MIRACULOUS MEDICAL SKILLS_1

Zhang Bin dug up all eighteen Mingqing Trees.

For the Little Fox, the Mingqing Trees were not Spiritual Medicine, so she not only didn’t stop Zhang Bin, she even helped him. Her claws were very sharp and she dug quickly, yet she was also careful not to damage the root systems.

Zhang Bin carefully bundled up the eighteen Mingqing Trees, hoisted them onto his shoulder, and left with the Little Fox. He didn’t touch the Ginseng, Lingzhi, or Polygonum Multiflorum, instead watering them with some Spiritual Water. In the future, he planned to refine them into Elixirs for both himself and the Little Fox.

It was early morning. A thick fog lingered, the air was fresh, and walking through the dense forest felt wonderful. He gathered Qi as he walked, and once his body was saturated, he infused the excess Qi into a large bottle of mineral water. The Little Fox, of course, also breathed her fill.

Now that Zhang Bin had opened seven meridians, his ability to gather Qi had increased dramatically. Wherever he passed, the Spiritual Energy from plants within a ten-meter radius was drawn out. The plants would then become listless, but they would recover after a few days. As long as Zhang Bin didn’t gather Qi from the same plants too frequently, he wouldn’t harm them.

Soon, the water in the bottle turned a vibrant green, resembling a piece of jade. He stopped only when it was completely saturated. This bottle of water was enough to last him for several days. It had to be heavily diluted before use, or it would be a tremendous waste. For example, if Father Zhang were to drink it undiluted, his body wouldn’t be able to absorb so much Spiritual Energy, and it would uselessly dissipate.

Zhang Bin had the Little Fox stand guard over the twenty Ginseng plants, leaving her a small amount of Spiritual Water to use on them. He himself returned home as quickly as possible.

"Dad, Mom, look what I brought back!" Zhang Bin shouted excitedly as soon as he walked in the door.

Father Zhang and Mother Zhang came out to greet him. When they saw the Mingqing Trees he carried, their faces lit up with joy. "So many Mingqing Trees! Xiao Bin, where did you find them?"

They now knew that a single drop of Bright Eye Liquid was worth 2,000 yuan, which made the Mingqing Trees true money-makers. How could they not be thrilled to have so many more?

"In the deep mountains," Zhang Bin said as he walked to the vegetable garden in the backyard and planted all eighteen Mingqing Trees.

After he watered them with the heavily diluted Spiritual Water, all the Mingqing Trees pulsed with vitality. The three Large Trees began to flower, gradually bearing fruit, while the fifteen Little Bright Eyes Trees also started to grow.

"This Spiritual Water is truly miraculous," Father Zhang and Mother Zhang exclaimed in awe, their faces filled with shock.

Zhang Bin washed his hands and then received a call from Wen Shanshan, reminding him that he had to deliver the Bright Eye Liquid tomorrow. He nodded in agreement.

"Dad, my Cultivation has progressed significantly, and I’ve learned the medical skills my master taught me," Zhang Bin said. "I can treat many illnesses now, and the recovery is very fast. Let me examine you."

He took his father’s hand and, with a thought, sent streams of Longevity Qi into his father’s body. The Qi circulated delicately before retreating, and he grew pensive.

"How is it? Is there any chance of recovery?" Mother Zhang asked impatiently from the side.

Father Zhang also watched him with an expectant look.

"A full recovery is definitely possible," Zhang Bin said. "But Dad’s illness is unique—the capillaries in his brain are blocked and must be cleared. However, my Cultivation Level isn’t high enough yet. The brain is the most delicate part of the human body, so there is absolutely no room for error. I’ll have to wait until my cultivation advances further before I can clear his capillaries."

"That’s no problem," Father Zhang said with a smile. "I’m drinking the Spiritual Water every day, and I feel better and better. I’m just a little weak still."

"Right. Avoid any heavy work for now; a daily walk is enough. Give it some time, and I guarantee I’ll have you lively and energetic again," Zhang Bin promised.

"Xiao Bin, are you just bragging? Have you really become a doctor?" Mother Zhang was still a little incredulous.

"Of course! If you don’t believe me, come with me and watch how I heal Second Brother’s limp," Zhang Bin said with a grin.

"What? You’re going to treat Xu Lao’er’s limp? Please don’t make things worse," Mother Zhang said worriedly.

"That’s right, this is no joking matter," Father Zhang added sternly.

"Don’t worry," Zhang Bin said, full of confidence. "You’re about to witness a miracle."

He immediately went to Xu Lao’er’s home, shouting before he even stepped through the door, "Second Brother, come out! I can heal your leg now."

Xu Quezi hobbled out, his face full of surprise. "Xiao Bin! Just a few days ago, you said you couldn’t treat illnesses. How are you so confident all of a sudden?"

"Because my cultivation has greatly improved. I can treat people now," Zhang Bin replied with a smile. He then pulled Xu Quezi over to the base of a banyan tree and had him lie down on a massive bluestone slab.

A crowd of curious villagers gathered to watch the spectacle. Xiao Fang and Liu Xin were there, as was Mother Cheng. Father Zhang and Mother Zhang stood to the side, watching anxiously.

Zhang Bin had brought no tools. He simply took a handful of pine needles from his pocket and set them aside. Then, he gently gripped Xu Lao’er’s limp leg and sent his Longevity Qi into it for a meticulous examination.

Soon, he had a clear picture of the problem. "It’s just as I thought," he said confidently. "The broken bone was misaligned and didn’t heal seamlessly. I need to re-break the bone and set it again. Don’t worry, it won’t hurt at all."

"Aren’t you going to use any anesthesia?" Xu Lao’er asked nervously.

"No need," Zhang Bin said with a faint smile, his fingers tapping rapidly across numerous points on the man’s leg.

"Huh... I feel like my leg is gone. What kind of magical technique is this?" Xu Lao’er asked in astonishment.

"This is True Qi meridian-blocking. It seals all your nerves," Zhang Bin explained. With his left hand releasing Longevity Qi to probe the situation inside, his right hand grasped the site of the old fracture. Using an unknown technique, the bone snapped apart with a CRACK.

Everyone heard the sharp sound, but Xu Lao’er felt no pain.

Zhang Bin continued to break off a few small bone fragments. Then, he carefully used his Longevity Qi to realign the fracture, using the fingers of his right hand to hold the bones in place from the outside. He began channeling Longevity Qi to stimulate the wound, and something miraculous occurred—the broken bone began to heal at a visible rate.

Soon, the fracture was almost completely fused, looking not much different from his other leg.

Zhang Bin quietly exhaled. He picked up a Pine Needle and casually inserted it into Xu Lao’er’s muscle until it reached the bone, continuing to send in Longevity Qi. The bone healed even faster. In about fifteen minutes, it had mended completely, as smooth as new, without a single scar.

This was the miraculous power of Longevity Qi: it could stimulate wounds to heal rapidly and could also kill bacteria. The True Qi cultivated by ordinary Cultivators lacked such an ability.
