~5 min read 830 words

The man stood before Yin Tian, looking at him with reverence, "Little... Little Master..."

Yin Tian raised his hand, pointed at the man before him, and smiled at Doctor Hua, "Have you noticed any illness in him?"

Doctor Hua immediately stepped forward, examining the man from head to toe, employing all diagnostic techniques, but still, he could not discern anything.

After a while, Doctor Hua finally gave up, "Master, I can’t see any illness in him."

Yin Tian nodded, walked over, and said to the man, "Take off your clothes."

Although the man felt reluctant being watched by the crowd, he eventually took off his clothes.

"Look at his back."

Yin Tian raised his hand, pointing at the man’s back.

Not only Doctor Hua but everyone else immediately craned their necks to look at the man’s back.

"He has some skin disease..."

Doctor Hua spoke subconsciously, then suddenly realized something was off, "This is..."

Yin Tian let out a slight smile, walked behind the man, raised his hand, and patted the scaly skin on the man’s back.

The muscles on the man’s back trembled, and then, those scales began to move.

The affected skin area began to expand.

Soon, the scales transformed into something that looked like a human face!

A chorus of gasps erupted from the crowd, clearly, none had ever seen such a disease.

Doctor Hua’s voice trembled, his expression extremely grave, "Human-face Ringworm..."

"But... Master, hasn’t Human-face Ringworm been extinct for hundreds of years?"

"Just because it hasn’t appeared before doesn’t mean it won’t appear in the future."

Yin Tian spoke indifferently, "Do you know what causes Human-face Ringworm?"

"Evil spirits invading the body?"

"Roughly speaking, yes. He is quite lucky, having discovered the Human-face Ringworm before it fully developed. If it were left for another year or so, even deities descending couldn’t save him."

At those words, the man collapsed onto the ground, then hugged Yin Tian’s legs, weeping bitterly, "Little Divine Doctor, I don’t want to die, you must save me!"

"Don’t worry."

Yin Tian spoke calmly, then turned to Doctor Hua and asked, "Do you know the remedy?"

Doctor Hua furrowed his brows.

He had truly never dealt with this disease before.

Even the ancient texts he had read only briefly mentioned the disease without detailing how to treat it.

"Dig... Dig it out?"

Doctor Hua spoke softly.

That was the only solution he could think of, also the most rudimentary and crude one.

"The difficulty in treating Human-face Ringworm lies in the fact that even if you dig it out, it will transfer to another part of the body, and the growth rate will be faster."

Yin Tian negated Doctor Hua’s approach.

Doctor Hua pondered for a moment, but eventually shook his head.

"Next, I’ll teach you a set of acupuncture."

Yin Tian flashed a smile at Doctor Hua, "Not only for Human-face Ringworm but any supernatural disease, this acupuncture technique guarantees the needle removes the ailment."

Doctor Hua perked up, looking at Yin Tian with great expectation.

However, soon, he looked at the crowd intently watching Yin Tian and pursed his lips.

Yin Tian was about to pass on his acupuncture technique; it could not be learned by others.

The man who first sought medical help from Yin Tian also seemed to notice Doctor Hua’s hesitation.

After thinking for a moment, he gestured with his hands, "Ladies and gentlemen, please do me a favor and leave this place for a short while."

The crowd, though reluctant, obediently moved away.

Yin Tian glanced at the man.

This man indeed held a high status in Central City; otherwise, the crowd would not have been so compliant.

With the crowd dispersed, Doctor Hua quickly came to Yin Tian’s side, looking forward with anticipation, "Master, let’s begin."

Yin Tian nodded and said, "This set of acupuncture is named Evil-Repelling Purging Charm Thirty-Six Needles."

Doctor Hua was stunned.

It was his first time hearing this name.

Yin Tian did not explain further but took out several silver needles from his pouch and rapidly inserted them into the man’s back before him.

Where Yin Tian inserted the needles wasn’t any particular acupoints or meridians, but a pattern.

And that pattern just happened to encase the Human-face Ringworm.

Then, Doctor Hua witnessed the most horrifying sight he had ever seen in his life.

The Human-face Ringworm on the man’s back actually began to twist into an ominous expression.

But quickly, the Human-face Ringworm visibly started to shrink!

"How is it?"

Yin Tian inquired.

"It’s miraculous!"

Doctor Hua murmured, astonished that Yin Tian indeed used only thirty-six needles to cure the Human-face Ringworm!

"This set of needles, you just need to remember the pattern,"

Yin Tian said with a grin to Doctor Hua, "Any supernatural disease, the needle removes the ailment."

Doctor Hua nodded repeatedly, staring unwaveringly at the silver needles on the man’s back.

Meanwhile, the other man approached Yin Tian once more.

"Young brother, please save my life!"
