Chapter 1: Li Li Lianhua, the All-Encompassing Hand

"This treasure chest redemption requires 10 taels of medical fees. Do you wish to redeem?"

Looking at the prompt before him, Li Li Lianhua nodded silently in his heart.

As expected, transmigrators all have golden fingers, and he was no exception.

It’s just, why transmigrate into anyone else? Why specifically the Master of the Lotus Building?

In the original story, although Li Li Lianhua himself was the Sword God Li Li Xiangyi, who became famous in his youth and shook the Wu Lin!

Yet, having been poisoned by the Bicha Poison for many years, all his internal energy was used to suppress the strange toxin. Every time he used his internal energy, he was essentially burning his life away!

Shaking his head, he pushed these cynical thoughts aside and focused his mind on his golden finger!

Perhaps because Li Li Lianhua had the reputation of a divine physician in the Jiang Hu, his golden finger was quite simple.

It was to treat illnesses and injuries for others, and the medical fees collected could be used to open treasure chests.

Treasure chests could yield skills, items, and even rare treasures of heaven and earth!

Currently, he started with 18 taels of silver, and this first "pay-to-win" action required 10 taels!

As for only being able to use medical fees to pay?

Clearly, the 18 taels of silver he had on him were, in themselves, medical fees!

Without much hesitation, Li Li Lianhua directly chose to redeem!

Usually, beginners should have some perks, right?

Just like a novice at mahjong usually wins money, or a novice at fishing usually has a full harvest!

This first treasure chest redemption should surely yield something good, right?

After all, it was 10 taels of silver—that was more than half of his entire fortune!

Muttering to himself, Li Li Lianhua didn't waste time and directly opened the treasure chest before him!

There was no physical object inside the chest, only a patch of misty light!

As Li Li Lianhua opened it, the misty light transformed into a brilliant radiance and merged into the space between his eyebrows!

Afterwards, Li Li Lianhua felt a sense of enlightenment rising from his mind!

This feeling was like suddenly remembering something he had forgotten, or like recalling a mathematical formula he had learned long ago!

Li Li Lianhua understood that this time, opening the treasure chest had indeed yielded a major prize.

For a mere 10 taels of medical fees, he had actually unlocked the divine ability known as the All-Encompassing Hand!

As one of the Eight Miraculous Skills, the All-Encompassing Hand could be said to be the most suitable means for his current situation!

The ability of the All-Encompassing Hand is actually quite simple: the red hand can modify the body.

For instance, if injured, one can recover rapidly; if a hand is severed, a new one can be grown directly; one could even increase their size if they were dissatisfied with certain aspects of their physique!

The blue hand, on the other hand, tampers with the soul, including but not limited to extracting, modifying, or even deleting memories.

To obtain the All-Encompassing Hand from a treasure chest for a mere 10 taels of medical fees was like buying a two-dollar lottery ticket and winning five million!

"It really is a beginner's perk, getting the All-Encompassing Hand on the first try!"

"My current identity is not the Sword God Li Li Xiangyi, but the divine physician Li Li Lianhua. This All-Encompassing Hand further solidifies my persona as a divine physician!"

"Most importantly, since I can only open treasure chests with medical fees, with this All-Encompassing Hand, I can earn even more!"

After properly sensing the capabilities of the All-Encompassing Hand he had just mastered, Li Li Lianhua nodded silently, feeling very satisfied!

Afterwards, Li Li Lianhua looked at his golden finger again!

The next treasure chest opening would require 50 taels of medical fees!

Seeing this, Li Li Lianhua shook his head silently!

It seems that each time he opens a chest, the required medical fees will increase!

"By the way, can I use the All-Encompassing Hand to recover from this Bicha Poison?"

"No matter how strange the poison is, its effect is to damage the flesh!"

"And the function of the All-Encompassing Hand is to modify the flesh at will. So, repairing the damage caused by the Bicha Poison shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Thinking of the All-Encompassing Hand's capabilities—in *Under One Person*, Lu Liang's severed hand could grow back—there was no reason it couldn't purge a little poison, right?

With a thought, Li Li Lianhua raised his hand, which bloomed with a red light, and then tapped it against his own chest!

His body was now completely under his control; he mobilized the Bicha Poison within him, squeezing it toward his fingertips!

Following this, a small cut opened at his fingertip, and the emerald-green toxin dripped out!

*Hoo...*

Although the Bicha Poison was potent, under the power of the All-Encompassing Hand, it was nothing.

It truly lived up to being one of the Eight Miraculous Skills!

As the poison that had entangled him for years was finally purged, Li Li Lianhua let out a long, turbid breath.

This feeling was like finally setting down a heavy stone he had been carrying; his entire body and mind felt much lighter!

"Brother Ding, there is a house pulled by a carriage here. Let's rest here for a while!"

Just at this moment, a Buddhist chant suddenly rang out outside the Lotus Building! ===== CHAPTER 3 =====

"Brother Di, we are being hunted... *cough, cough*... it would be better not to drag others into this!" Immediately after, a weak voice lacking in vitality sounded!

"Brother Ding is right; it was my oversight!"

Immediately, the voice that had just spoken carried a hint of guilt, and then, the sounds gradually faded into the distance!

"The two people outside, having encountered disaster, can still think of others? They are indeed two righteous men!" Listening to the voices outside, Li Li Lianhua nodded silently.

Afterwards, he walked to the window of the Lotus Building, where he could just see two disheveled figures supporting each other as they walked away.

Judging by their appearance, even a beggar's attire would be better than theirs!

"You two, if you don't mind, why not come over and rest for a while?" Li Li Lianhua called out toward their retreating backs!

Although he had only just used the All-Encompassing Hand to purge the Bicha Poison, he no longer needed to use internal energy to suppress the toxin. Even with only one or two tenths of his original cultivation left, he was still a first-class expert in the Jiang Hu!

Besides, the All-Encompassing Hand was not merely an auxiliary skill; if used well, even a powerhouse at the Land Immortal realm would have to kneel before him!

Hearing Li Li Lianhua's call, the two paused slightly. One of them shook his head and said, "Many thanks for your kindness, brother, but we are being hunted. If we stay..."

*Thump, thump, thump!*

Before he could finish what would happen if they stayed, the sound of hoofbeats could be heard.

Immediately after, a man in his forties or fifties, dressed in official robes, rode up on horseback.

Behind this man followed dozens of soldiers holding weapons.

Upon arriving, these soldiers immediately surrounded the Lotus Building!

"You see, even if I wanted to stay out of this, it's no longer possible!"

Glancing indifferently at the soldiers surrounding the Lotus Building, Li Li Lianhua spread his hands toward the two men.

"Lotus Building Medical Clinic?" The man on horseback, wearing official robes, glanced at the sign hanging on the Lotus Building.

He then said to Li Li Lianhua, "Are you the legendary divine physician Li Li Lianhua, who can bring the dead back to life?"

"That is correct!" Li Li Lianhua nodded.

"Divine Physician Li, this matter should have nothing to do with you, so I do not wish to make things difficult for you. Please, leave!" After a moment of silence, the man on horseback said to Li Li Lianhua!

After dropping this statement, the man looked toward the two men and said, "Ding Dian, Di Yun, you two cannot escape!" ===== CHAPTER 4 =====
