Chapter 1: Then I am an immortal!

Drip... drip-drip.

In a special care ward of the hospital, the sound of medical equipment rang urgently.

Outside the corridor, heads gathered.

Inside the ward, experts from all over the hospital gathered, looking anxious.

Lu Elder's vital signs are declining; he may only have moments left!

Divine Doctor Sun, where is he? Has Divine Doctor Sun arrived?

This old man has come.

All the doctors turned their gaze toward the elderly man in green robes outside the door, their eyes full of reverence.

The elderly man in green robes walked to the bedside and looked at the thin, pale-faced old man.

He placed his hand on the pulse, his expression solemn.

The Lu family held their breath, not daring to even breathe, as they watched Sun Jiacheng.

Amidst everyone's tense gazes, Sun Jiacheng let out a sigh.

Lu Elder's lifespan is exhausted; he has only moments left.

Sun Jiacheng is renowned as a holy hand of medicine; those he declares dead can only prepare for their afterlife.

Upon hearing this, the Lu family burst into mourning.

Grandfather Sun, really there's no way? Please, please save my grandfather!

A woman in her twenties, tearfully pleading with Sun Jiacheng.

Linglong, it's not that I don't want to save him; I truly cannot!

Sun Jiacheng let out a sigh.

I can save him!

Outside the door, a resonant, powerful voice rang out.

Lin Yang, wearing casual clothes, entered the ward and approached the old man's bedside.

Seeing Lin Yang suddenly appear, Lu Jin Yan, the head of the Lu family, frowned and scolded.

Who let you in? Quickly, someone throw them out!

As the bodyguards outside prepared to act, Lin Yang looked at the old man on the bed and said.

If I leave, no one will be able to save him.

Hearing this, the Lu family hesitated all at once.

Sun Jiacheng looked at Lin Yang, frowned, and asked.

Do you know that if anything happens to Lu Elder under your care, you won't be able to leave this door!

Seeing Lin Yang ignore his advice, Sun Jiacheng pressed further.

How confident are you?

Ten out of ten!

Hearing Lin Yang's resonant, powerful answer, Sun Jiacheng gave a cold laugh.

Ten out of ten? Even if Hua Tuo were reborn, he wouldn't dare say that.

Lu Elder has reached the point of exhausted oil and wick; only an immortal could save him!

Hearing Sun Jiacheng's words, Lu Jin Yan and others felt a surge of despair.

Although the Lu family is now wealthy and powerful, many watch it covetously.

If his father were still alive, he could still intimidate those petty troublemakers.

If the old man passes away, the Lu family will be surrounded by enemies.

As the Lu family despaired, Lu Linglong grabbed Lin Yang's hand, her eyes blurred with tears.

Sir, please save my grandfather!

Lin Yang smiled and looked at Sun Jiacheng.

I am not an immortal; I cannot revive the dead or heal flesh from bone, but I can treat illnesses that ordinary medicine cannot, and I can extend the life of those at death's door!

Seeing the confidence in Lin Yang's eyes, Sun Jiacheng furrowed his brow.

Hearing these words, Lu Linglong felt like a drowning person clutching the last straw.

She knelt on the ground, tearfully pleading.

Please, sir, save my grandfather!

Lin Yang approached the bedside and looked at the emaciated old man.

Six years ago, the Lin family declined, and everyone kicked them while they were down.

Only Lu Elder alone, risking great condemnation, spoke a just word for the Lin family; this time I will extend Lu Elder's life by six years!

Everyone inside was utterly confused.

Only Lu Jin Yan recalled a tragic incident from six years ago.

Six years ago, the Lin family suddenly erupted in fire.

As chairman of the Lin Group, Lin Tiannan and his family all perished in the fire.

Afterward, families hostile to the Lin family came forward to smear the Lin family with mud.

What no one expected was that Lin Tianzheng took over the Lin Group.

Not only did he not refute those smears, he actually apologized for the baseless accusations.

Moreover, in public he uttered that shocking, nonsensical remark.

Lin Tiannan lacks virtue for his position; that fire was his greatest punishment!

At once, the entire southwest was shocked!

Lin Tiannan is his brother, yet he actually could say such words!

While everyone was laughing, the Lu family elder stepped forward, pointing at Lin Tianzheng's nose and loudly scolding him.

Lin Tiannan is utterly upright and honest—how could you have a brother worse than a beast!

After scolding, he flicked his sleeves and walked away.

Left with a liver‑colored face, Lin Zhengtian stood there.

The affair was eventually suppressed, yet it still made Lin Tianzheng a laughingstock in the southwest.

However, as Lin Tianzheng's power grew over the years, no one dared bring it up anymore.

Today Lin Yang suddenly mentioned it, and Lu Jin Yan then recalled.

He frowned, looked at Lin Yang, and asked.

"What relation are you to Lin Tiannan?"

Lin Yang gave an indifferent reply.

"Who I am doesn't matter; if you want to save the elder, tell the unrelated people to leave."

Hearing Lin Yang say that, Lu Jin Yan hesitated, then waved his hand, and everyone withdrew.

In the ward remained only Lu Jin Yan, Lu Linglong and her father, and the acclaimed Divine Hand of Medicine, Sun Jiacheng.

"Well then, let me see how you prolong Old Lu's life!"

Lin Yang smiled and produced several gold needles.

"You say only an immortal can save him; then I am the immortal you speak of!"

As Lin Yang was about to apply the needles, Lu Jin Yan carried a hint of threat.

"If anything happens to my father, the Lu family's wrath won't be easily quelled!"

Lin Yang tilted his head, gazing at Lu Jin Yan, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Are you threatening me?"

A flash of cold light made Lu Jin Yan feel a chill run through his body, like a prickling on his back.

"Mr. Lin, my father was worried about grandfather and acted rashly; please don't be angry."

Only after Lin Yang turned his head and resumed needling did that prickling sensation disappear.

He was greatly shocked, being the head of the Lu family, though not equal to his father.

Yet in ordinary people's eyes, he also commanded respect without anger.

Few dare to oppose him, let alone be frightened by a single glance.

Just what background does this Lin Yang have? He was filled with doubt.

Just as he was wondering, Sun Jiacheng suddenly cried out.

"Reverse Fate Three Needles Shift Yin Yang, Supreme Ultimate Nine Needles Continue Heaven's Mandate!"

Hearing Sun Jiacheng's exclamation, Lu Jin Yan also looked over.

The formerly pallid Old Lu regained some color in his face, and his vital signs returned to normal.

The most excited were not Lu Jin Yan and his daughter, but Sun Jiacheng.

The acclaimed Divine Hand of Medicine trembled all over with excitement.

"This is a needling technique recorded in ancient texts—I never expected to witness it in my lifetime!"

Lin Yang ignored the excited Sun Jiacheng, turned to Lu Linglong, and said:

"In ten minutes your grandfather will wake up."

Having said that, he collected the needles and prepared to leave.

As Lin Yang reached the door and opened it, Lu Jin Yan let out a great shout.

"Hold it—my father hasn't awakened yet, you're not allowed to leave!"

Outside, a group of bodyguards blocked the entrance, warily watching Lin Yang.

Lin Yang glanced at the bodyguards, turned back, and gave Lu Jin Yan another look.

"With just these mud‑chicken and tile‑dog lackeys, you think you can stop me?"
