Chapter 451: Back Again

I'm dying of thirst, get some water to drink!

The middle-aged person in a hospital gown said solemnly and dryly.

Outside the room, the patient's family, Professor Chen, and the students were all stunned.

Immediately,

"Oh dear!"

They all stepped back.

There's no other explanation; the middle-aged person in the hospital gown right in front of them is none other than Boss Xu, who had just died inside!

Announcing his death just moments ago, then showing up himself asking for water—this is truly terrifying! It's utterly incomprehensible!

Professor Chen, A Miao, and the others felt their heads buzzing.

Boss Xu's family were also scared half to death; they knew all too well that over the past two years Boss Xu had been gravely ill, and even after a kidney transplant, as long as he didn't have an attack, he could only walk a few steps with a cane.

Now he's not only not dead, but he's even out for a stroll?

"This..."

"Phew..."

The crowd's breathing grew ragged.

"I said get water, I'm dying of thirst—can't you hear me?"

Boss Xu lost his temper.

"All right, here's water!"

A nephew dashed back.

The rest were still panting, breaking out in a cold sweat, warily eyeing Boss Xu and glancing toward the room.

After a moment, the group finally recalled the youngster who had just gone in to perform a resurrection.

But did the resurrection really take only a few tens of seconds????

The nephew who went for water returned quickly, trembling as he handed over a thermos of water.

Boss Xu picked it up and gulped it down.

Professor Chen couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Boss Xu, how... how did this happen?"

The family members also gradually gathered around.

Boss Xu blinked, bewildered, and said, "I feel like I died, walked onto some strange road, and then... a person stood by the roadside, grabbed my wrist, and brought me back!"

"What kind of person?" A Miao asked instinctively.

Boss Xu pondered for a moment, then pointed sharply to the side and exclaimed, "Hey? It's this person!"

"Whoa!" The crowd stepped back again.

There, Heng Xian appeared out of nowhere beside them, at that moment wiping blood off his hands with a tissue.

Boss Xu also realized: "It's him, he's the one who pulled me back!"

Professor Chen, A Miao, the middle-parted youth, and the family members stared at Heng Xian.

This youngster actually... really performed a resurrection!

"This is simply... completely against medical norms!" A Miao muttered, as if seeing a ghost.

Professor Chen fell into deep thought.

The middle-parted youth couldn't help but ask Heng Xian, "How did you do that? His heart had stopped and he wasn't breathing!"

"Exactly!" The patient's family members all asked.

Heng Xian didn't give a direct answer, instead patting Boss Xu and saying, "Stand still, your belly hasn't been stitched yet!"

As he spoke, he lifted Boss Xu's clothes to see two large wounds in the kidney area still sizzling with blood!

"Oh dear!"

The crowd was frightened and stepped back again.

Boss Xu himself was so scared his steps went weak: "Ah... this..."

Then Heng Xian struck with his palm, pressing on the two wounds; amidst rising heat, the wounds miraculously stopped bleeding and healed.

"This..."

This eerie scene deeply stimulated Professor Chen and the others, leaving them speechless in an instant!

Heng Xian withdrew his hand and wiped it with paper; actually, the method he used to resurrect Boss Xu is simple: first, he gave him a breath of spiritual qi, awakening the organs that had fallen into dormant death, restoring breath,

then he opened the kidneys, used his spiritual sense to clear the blood vessels and meridians, and finally used spiritual power to kill the cancer cells!

That's all!

Cancer, which has troubled humanity for countless years, is actually nothing in the eyes of cultivators!

Moreover, thanks to a temporary boost of spiritual power, this patient is bursting with energy!

At this point, looking at the dazed Boss Xu, he said, "It's fine, take a couple steps!"

"Uh!" Boss Xu swallowed, obeyed, and took a few steps forward.

Heng Xian added, "Don't stop, walk a loop, then come back to rest!"

"All right!" Boss Xu didn't care about anything else; being alive was better than anything, his face lit with excitement, he sprang forward and ran at full speed!

He did walk away, leaving the crowd in disarray.

Heng Xian reached out to Boss Xu's nephew and said, "Money!"

"Here!"

A nephew immediately produced a bank card, "It contains exactly one million, password six zeros, originally intended for use; take it for now, I'll scrape together more money for..."

Before he could finish speaking, Heng Xian had already left, his steps swift, reaching the end of the hallway in the blink of an eye!

Only then did Professor Chen fully react, taking a deep breath: "Find Boss Xu back, run tests, quickly!"

A group of people immediately rushed over in a flustered hurry, pulling back Boss Xu, who was about to play a round of golf.

Translation: A group of people immediately rushed over in a panic, pulling back Xu the boss who was about to play a round of golf.
