Chapter 129: Divine Physician Shi Shi Tianqi

At this moment, Ye Chen felt slightly displeased.

He had come here to give Song Wanting face; otherwise, with his status as the Young Master of the Ye family, what qualifications did a mere Song family have to make him come over?

Song Wanting was also a bit angry at this time and said, "Brother, there are some things you may not believe, but you cannot be disrespectful!"

Song Rongyu gave a cold snort: "Respect? I only respect those masters with true talent and learning. As for swindling charlatans, they are not worthy of my, Song Rongyu's, respect!"

Having said that, he pointed to the old man beside him and introduced him with a face full of pride: "This is the renowned Divine Physician Shi Shi Tianqi from Jiangnan, along with his granddaughter."

Ye Chen looked up and was slightly stunned.

These two were an old man and a young girl, looking just like a grandfather and granddaughter.

However, their attire was clearly different from others.

The old man was over sixty, wearing a green bamboo-cloth robe, sporting old-fashioned black-rimmed reading glasses, and keeping a long white beard. His eyes flashed with a sharp light; one look and it was clear he was a practitioner.

The girl standing beside him was about eighteen or nineteen, wearing a loose student cheongsam with her bangs cut short to her ears. With bright eyes and white teeth, her whole body exuded a cold, classical aura.

However, the girl's appearance made Ye Chen pay a little more attention, because in Jin Ling City, he hadn't seen many whose beauty could rival the "Number One Beauty," Xiao Xiao Churan.

Compared to Xiao Xiao Churan, this girl's gaze was sharper, and it vaguely revealed a sense of arrogance, making her seem unapproachable.

Seeing Ye Chen look over, Shi Shi Tianqi nodded faintly, while the girl remained incomparably cold, without the slightest expression.

Song Rongyu said to Song Wanting again: "Sister, I see that this person you found is only in his early twenties. He might not even have memorized the theories of Yin-Yang, Five Elements, or temperature, yet he calls himself a master. If this gets out, people will laugh at our Song family for being so muddled as to not believe in medical science but instead believe in superstition?"

Song Rongyu's words were filled with barbs, pointing directly at Ye Chen, which left Ye Chen stunned for a moment. How did he become a swindler?

At this time, Song Rongyu cupped his hands to the old man and said: "Old Shi, it is my sister who is ignorant and sought medical advice in a panic. Please do not take it to heart."

Shi Shi Tianqi said very modestly: "Being young does not necessarily mean one lacks true talent. Mr. Song need not be so suspicious of this young friend."

Song Rongyu sighed and said: "Old Shi, you don't know, my sister seeks medical advice in a panic and is always being swindled."

Song Wanting's expression was also a bit ugly at this time, and she blurted out: "Brother, what do you mean by that?"

Song Rongyu retorted: "Am I wrong? I heard that you were swindled by a so-called Feng Shui master from Hong Kong before, and you still haven't realized it?"

"You..." Song Wanting couldn't keep her face straight.

The matter of "Master Lai" was indeed a failure on her part. She didn't expect that she would also be fooled by a swindler from Hong Kong. Fortunately, Ye Chen was present, otherwise, she would have been in big trouble.

However, Song Rongyu clearly didn't know Ye Chen's capabilities, which is why he dared to spout nonsense in front of Ye Chen.

At this time, Song Rongyu said to Ye Chen: "Kid, I don't know how you swindled Wanting, but don't even think about swindling the Song family. This Old Shi's ancestors were imperial physicians for three generations. As for a small-time swindler like you, I advise you to leave quickly to avoid asking for trouble!"

Song Wanting's face was extremely ugly, but she couldn't find a reason to refute him. After all, Ye Chen did look too young, and that alone was not convincing. If she hadn't witnessed Ye Chen's extraordinary aspects, she wouldn't have believed him either. If she continued to use Ye Chen's Feng Shui reading as an argument, she feared it would only give him more ammunition.

However, she didn't expect Ye Chen to be very calm about this, smiling and saying: "Hehe, it's fine. A small character like me will just observe from the side and will definitely not disturb this master of medicine in treating the patient."

"Consider yourself sensible."

At this time, a middle-aged man came out of the residence and said: "Wanting, Rongyu, your grandfather is failing!"

Shi Shi Tianqi hurriedly asked: "Where is Old Master Song? Let this old man go and take a look!"

"In the back residence, please follow me." Song Rongyu hurriedly led the way himself, guiding the grandfather and granddaughter toward the backyard.

Song Wanting hurriedly grabbed Ye Chen to follow.

Everyone arrived at a luxurious and classical room in the back residence and saw an old man on the verge of death lying on a large bed made of Huang Huali wood.

The old man's face was haggard, pale as gold paper, and his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he were enduring great pain.

Shi Shi Tianqi immediately said: "Old Master Song's situation is critical. Please allow my granddaughter and me to begin treatment immediately."

Song Rongyu hurriedly said: "Old Shi, please take action!"

Shi Shi Tianqi nodded, but did not perform the treatment himself; instead, he stood by the bed and instructed the young woman to take action.

A set of silver needles was placed on the bedside table, and the woman was taking the silver needles and piercing them into Old Master Song's body.

Her technique for inserting the needles was very proficient, even better than old traditional Chinese medicine practitioners who had been practicing for twenty or thirty years. It was no wonder that even though she was young, the Song family was at ease letting her treat him.

This young woman was indeed of outstanding appearance, not only beautiful and moving but also possessing a heroic spirit between her brows. Both in appearance and temperament, she could be called top-grade.

However, what Ye Chen was looking at was not the woman's beauty, but her internal body.

Because he had already seen that when this woman inserted the needles, she could actually use a bit of true Qi to assist. It could be said that she was half a person of the same path.

According to the records of the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra," the classical Taoist school of China passed down five branches: Mountain, Medicine, Destiny, Physiognomy, and Divination.

In the cultivation of these five branches, there was more or less some true Qi, which could be considered as having some cultivation.

Ye Chen could tell at a glance that this Shi Shi Tianqi and his granddaughter were descendants of the "Mountain" branch.

The Mountain branch was mainly based on medical arts, learning medicine first and then martial arts, and then practicing both medicine and martial arts.

However, even if Shi Shi Tianqi and his granddaughter practiced both medicine and martial arts, they were still just mortal bodies. What mortals could use was only true Qi.

And Ye Chen had already undergone a rebirth through spiritual energy; his constitution had long surpassed that of mortals and was also an existence that the five Taoist branches could not compare to.

The "true Qi" cultivated by the five Taoist branches, compared to the "spiritual energy" in Ye Chen's body, although only differing by one word, was actually a world of difference, completely a grade lower.

In common terms, it was the difference between coal and diamonds. Although both had the same origin, coal could only be used as fuel, with limited energy and low price, while diamonds were the essence after refining, absorbing a large amount of energy, being incomparably hard, and costing thousands of times more.

Many descendants of the five Taoist branches, after a lifetime of hard cultivation, all hoped to cultivate a trace of "spiritual energy."

Because, once one had spiritual energy, even if only a little, it could greatly improve one's cultivation and at the same time achieve the goal of prolonging life.

However, 99% of the disciples of the five Taoist branches would not be able to cultivate even a bit of spiritual energy until they died... ===== CHAPTER 130 =====
