Sun Yu hadn't answered yet when Lei Qianjue respectfully addressed Xu Hao, "Master, I am here!"

Master?

This address as "master" utterly confused the guard at the entrance, his whole being thrown into disarray!

The Southwest Medicine King actually called Xu Hao his master?

"Hmm, want to have a look first?" Xu Hao said to the guard with a slight smile, teasing Lei Qianjue in the process.

Lei Qianjue quickly shook his head like a rattle-drum, "No, no, no... Master, I am here to learn from you, I wouldn't dare show off my skills in front of you!"

Just yesterday, Lei Qianjue nearly killed Elder Jiang while treating him, so he certainly didn't dare act recklessly.

That guard's face turned a scorching red!

A slap in the face, a blatant slap in the face!

Just a moment ago, he had suggested Lei Qianjue take the first look, but now the other man had turned around and called Xu Hao master. Feeling disgruntled, the guard touched his own forehead and left the doorway without another word.

Now, only Elder Chen, Lei Qianjue, Xu Hao, and Sun Yu remained in the room.

Sun Yu stepped forward and gently patted Elder Chen's arm, "Elder Chen, Divine Doctor Xu has come to treat you."

Elder Chen made a sound of acknowledgment from the bed, weakly opening his eyes. Upon seeing Xu Hao, he nodded slightly, "Thank you!" He seemed to speak with almost no strength at all!

It was well known that Elder Chen used to be a fierce warrior on the battlefield, brandishing his saber against enemies!

"Captain Sun, would you mind stepping outside as well, to help keep watch?" Xu Hao had many medical concepts in his mind, many of which he himself did not quite understand. However, Xu Hao knew that those secret knowledge far exceeded modern medical understanding; it might be better not to reveal too much.

Sun Yu hesitated for a moment but obediently left the room.

Xu Hao gently took Elder Chen's hand, feeling his weak pulse. His vigor seemed to be absorbed by some mysterious force, and following that force, Xu Hao sensed the extra piece of bone attracting the life force.

Xu Hao's expression turned solemn as a stream of Floating Light surged from the Dragon Pattern on his hand, rushing towards that piece of bone to probe it.

Of course, Lei Qianjue was unable to see this Floating Light. In fact, although most martial cultivators emitted Floating Light, they could mostly only feel its presence but not see it. Xu Hao could see the Floating Light because his bloodline had awakened, causing some unique changes in his vision.

What Xu Hao didn't realize was that Elder Chen lying on the bed could also see that stream of Floating Light.

Upon seeing the Floating Light emanating from Xu Hao, a spark of delight flickered in Elder Chen's eyes. The Floating Light around Xu Hao was evidently different from that of other martial arts experts—there was an inherent dignity to it!

The Floating Light from Xu Hao's hand impacted Elder Chen's body, first warming up all the meridians in Elder Chen's body, which instantly revived some of Elder Chen's energy.

However, as soon as Xu Hao's Floating Light touched the extra bone, it encountered fierce resistance. The bone seemed to have its own life force, glowing with the same radiance to fight against Xu Hao.

Since Xu Hao was only probing, he had not used his full strength, and thus the Floating Light was instantly shattered by the impact. But Xu Hao had generally figured out the cause of Elder Chen's condition. In simple terms, the dissolution of Elder Chen's arm was because of some rejection between his own bones and this extra bone during the fusion process.

Moreover, this bone seemed to be constantly devouring Elder Chen's life force, which is why he appeared to be so weak.

Medical knowledge in Xu Hao's mind surged wildly, and he already roughly had an outline for treatment. To restore Elder Chen to normal was simple: remove the bone from his body.

But before removing the bone, Xu Hao first needed to clarify the origin of this piece of bone! If they acted rashly, and something happened to Elder Chen, Xu Hao would be overwhelmed with guilt.

Xu Hao released Elder Chen's arm and asked with a grave face, "Elder Chen, I have a few vital questions to ask you, and it's crucial that you answer truthfully. May I?"

Elder Chen nodded, a sharp glint in his eyes, "Of course, just ask!"

Over the years, Elder Chen had lost hope for his condition, but now seeing the same Floating Light on Xu Hao and Xu Hao's lack of adverse effects, hope was reignited in his heart.

"Where did this bone in your arm come from?" As soon as Xu Hao spoke, Elder Chen's face visibly changed, his demeanor becoming agitated.

Indeed, Xu Hao had pinpointed the key to his condition at a glance. Over the years, Elder Chen had enlisted countless doctors, masters... and while current technologies had managed to discover anomalies in that piece of bone, they had never considered that it didn't belong to Elder Chen.

Xu Hao had seen through it without any instruments. Perhaps Xu Hao might heal him?

If so, maybe there was a chance for him to return to the battlefield!

Xu Hao glanced at Lei Qianjue and spoke up, "Little Brother Xu, could you ask Mr. Lei to step outside for a moment?"

Elder Chen decided to speak, and what he was about to disclose could be highly sensitive. If this secret were made public, it might cause global panic. Although Lei Qianjue was Xu Hao's disciple, Elder Chen did not dare to take any chances.

Without waiting for Xu Hao to respond, Lei Qianjue tactfully nodded to Xu Hao, "Then, Master, I will wait for you outside!"

After Lei Qianjue left, Elder Chen started solemnly, "Little Brother Xu, have you ever heard of the Immortal Bone?"
