Chapter 639: Medical Family, Astonishing Medicine

As soon as these words were spoken, the panic on everyone's faces was instantly soothed.

It was as if the words had a magical power, making people believe without any doubt.

They walked through the alley, following behind Chen Xun, and came to their senses with a look of surprise and suspicion. Could it be that Chen Xun was truly some kind of miracle doctor...

"Uncle Chen, can Aunt Wang be saved..." A tiger-headed boy ran up to Chen Xun, "She vomited a lot of blood and kept saying to find you before she almost fainted."

"As long as her lifespan isn't at its end, of course, she can be saved."

Chen Xun smiled and took out a wooden needle from his sleeve, freshly made, "All the difficult and complicated diseases in the world are due to insufficient ability; there is no such thing as an incurable disease."

"Brother Chen Xun... do you really know medicine?!"

"Hehe."

Chen Xun chuckled lightly, glanced at the wooden needle in his hand, and spread his divine sense throughout Double Tree Alley. He instantly understood the situation at Aunt Wang's place, "An old ailment flaring up again, nothing serious."

Everyone fell silent, frowning slightly and not speaking further. Aunt Wang was a very warm-hearted person, known by everyone in the alley, and no one wanted to see her taken by illness.

Not long after, at Aunt Wang's courtyard.

Inside and out, it was filled with neighbors, many women sitting together chattering, and outside, many children looked inside with innocent faces, blocking the entrance completely.

"Doctor Li went in and hasn't come out yet; it seems the situation isn't good..."

"Ah, isn't that true? Aunt Wang was once a woman who roamed the martial world, and it's said she suffered some internal injury."

"I heard Aunt Wang used to be a madam of a high-class brothel and had to retire after offending some big shot."

"Cough, cough..."

...

A group of women in the corner were discussing, speaking with such vivid expressions, it was hard to tell if it was true or false.

Buzz.

The sound of a door opening was heard, and Doctor Li, with his long beard flowing, shook his head as he walked out with his medicine box.

Aunt Wang's children rushed up with worried faces and asked, "Doctor Li, how is my mother?! Is there any hope? How can someone vomit so much blood!"

"It's not poisoning; the stagnant blood has settled in her meridians and organs. Even using true qi and hundred-year-old herbs can't clear it. I'm afraid even an immortal would find it difficult to save her. At her age, even bloodletting treatment won't get her through the night..."

Doctor Li shook his head sadly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "This situation can no longer be called a disease unless there's a way to bring the dead back to life or regenerate bones..."

Hearing this diagnosis, Aunt Wang's children turned pale, their eyes filled with endless despair, their bodies going limp, not knowing what to say at this moment.

Doctor Li was a highly skilled physician, a benevolent doctor known throughout these streets. His words meant Aunt Wang might truly be beyond saving.

The people in the courtyard sighed continuously, filled with sorrow.

At this moment, inside the room.

Aunt Wang lay quietly on the bed, her face pale and her eyes lifeless.

She had already felt the limits of her life, welcoming the impending farewell, her gaze gradually drifting away as if seeking past memories and warmth.

Yet, Aunt Wang still murmured, "Brother Chen Xun... is no ordinary person."

"Aunt Wang! I'm here!"

Suddenly, a loud shout echoed throughout the courtyard, halting the sorrowful atmosphere, and all eyes turned to the spirited Chen Xun, who walked in slowly in his linen clothes.

"Chen Xun... don't cause trouble at a time like this."

"Aunt Wang wanted to see you one last time, why scare people?!"

"Ah..."

...

Everyone frowned and shook their heads. Chen Xun, despite his age, hadn't changed a bit in character, still as unreliable as ever.

Chen Xun rubbed the wooden needle in his hand and began to mutter to himself, "This condition of stagnant blood accumulation is tricky, but not without a glimmer of hope. I come from a family of healers, the Ning family's legacy in medicine, hehe."

"A family of healers?!" Doctor Li exclaimed, though he hadn't heard of the Ning family, any family claiming to be a family of healers... was no simple matter!

"Doctor Li, leave it to me."

"Chen Xun... do you really have a way?! Do you know medicine?!"

Aunt Wang's children were equally stunned. They were busy with their livelihoods and rarely returned to the alley, having only met Chen Xun a few times and not being very familiar with him.

Doctor Li also scrutinized Chen Xun, stroking his beard with uncertainty. There was no scent of medicine on him, and his hands didn't look like those of a healer. He asked in a deep voice, "How will you treat her?"

"Harmonize the yin and yang energies within, clear the meridians, and dissolve the stagnant blood," Chen Xun spoke calmly, already walking past Doctor Li, "Let's not delay here."

The neighbors in the courtyard were dumbfounded, seemingly not yet comprehending.

Even Doctor Li was stunned by this calm and composed demeanor, quickly coming to his senses and hurriedly stepping forward to follow.

Chen Xun gently pushed open the door, his gaze falling on Aunt Wang, who was nearing the end of her life.

"Chen... Chen Xun," Aunt Wang, with her white hair and frail body, had grown much thinner, "you came."

"A bit sudden, but not too late."

Chen Xun smiled slightly, sitting on a chair by the bedside, "Aunt Wang, relax your mind. It's just stagnant blood; there's no difficult ailment in this world that I, Chen Xun, can't cure."

"Good... Sister Crane Spirit was right..." Aunt Wang's breathing grew weaker, but she managed a gentle, kind smile.

Doctor Li stood at the door, silent, his gaze fixed on Chen Xun, not daring to disturb him, as it was taboo for healers.

Chen Xun raised the wooden needle in his hand, gently piercing it into the back of Aunt Wang's hand. His eyes grew deep, as if seeing through the threads of life. The wooden needle in his hand rotated gently, like a breeze dancing.

Aunt Wang's body trembled slightly, and with the touch of the needle, her pulse gradually steadied.

Chen Xun's movements gradually quickened, the wooden needle in his hand turning into a stream of light, each puncture precise and accurate.

His technique was skilled and precise, each touch seeming to hit the key points of the ailment.

Doctor Li watched Chen Xun's needle technique, dumbfounded... his heart was shaken by a strong storm, filled with unprecedented admiration.

He couldn't help but reflect on his years of medical practice, unable to imagine any conventional technique achieving the level of medical skill Chen Xun displayed.

His inner respect was beyond words, beginning to doubt whether what he had learned was just the tip of the iceberg...

Time seemed to freeze, the atmosphere quiet and solemn.

Aunt Wang's complexion gradually changed, her once pale face slowly regaining a hint of color, her breathing becoming steady and strong, as if life had been reinfused into her body.

"Bull."

"Moo~~!"

The ground shook as Black Bull, holding a medicinal herb in its mouth, charged into the courtyard, startling the neighbors into exclamations, and inside the room, Doctor Li was so frightened his hat flew off somewhere.

Chen Xun slowly withdrew the needle, smiling at Black Bull. They used to practice medicine and heal together like this, and Bull was very knowledgeable about herbs.

He took the herb from Black Bull's mouth and looked at Aunt Wang calmly, "Aunt Wang, your body is fine now. Use this herb in water, take it for three days, and you'll be fully recovered."
