Chapter 1: Li Lianhua, the All-Encompassing Hand

"This treasure chest redemption requires a consultation fee of 10 taels of silver. Do you wish to redeem it?"

Looking at the prompt before him, 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 did he have to become the Master of the Lotus Tower?

In the original story, although Li Lianhua himself was the Sword God Li Xiangyi, he was famous from a young age and shook the Jiang Hu!

However, 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 suppressed these complaining thoughts and focused his attention on his golden finger!

Perhaps because 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 heal injuries for others, and the consultation fees collected could be used to open treasure chests.

The treasure chests could contain skills, items, or even rare treasures and heavenly materials!

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

As for the fact that he could only use consultation fees to pay?

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

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

Usually, beginners should have some perks, right?

Just like how beginners at mahjong can usually win money, or beginners at fishing usually have a full harvest!

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

After all, it was 10 taels of silver, which was more than half of his total assets!

Muttering to himself, Li Lianhua didn't mean to waste time and directly opened the treasure chest in front of him!

There were no physical objects inside the chest, only a cloud of misty light!

As Li Lianhua opened it, the misty light transformed into a brilliant radiance and submerged into the center of his brow!

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

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

Li Lianhua understood that he had indeed struck gold with this treasure chest.

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

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

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

For example, one can recover quickly if injured, or regrow a severed limb, or even increase one's size if one is dissatisfied with being small in certain aspects!

The blue hand, on the other hand, can tamper 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 silver 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 Xiangyi, but the divine physician Li Lianhua. This All-Encompassing Hand further solidifies my persona as a divine physician!"

"Most importantly, opening treasure chests requires consultation fees. With this All-Encompassing Hand, I can earn even more consultation fees!"

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

Afterwards, Li Lianhua looked at his golden finger again!

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

Seeing this, Li Lianhua shook his head silently!

It seems that the consultation fee required for each chest opening 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 still to damage the physical body!"

"And the function of the All-Encompassing Hand is to modify the body at will, so it shouldn't be difficult to recover the parts damaged by the Bicha Poison, right?"

Thinking of the All-Encompassing Hand's ability, in *Under One Person*, Lu Liang's arm could regrow after being severed; there's no reason it couldn't remove a little bit of poison, right?

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

His physical body was completely under Li Lianhua's control; he then fully mobilized and squeezed the Bicha Poison within his body, forcing it to his fingertips!

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

Whoosh...

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

It truly deserves to be one of the Eight Peerless Skills!

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

This feeling was like putting down a heavy stone he had been carrying on his back; he felt his entire body and mind become 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 Tower! ===== CHAPTER 3 =====
