Chapter 2

"Ding Dian? Di Yun! Could it be those two from *A Deadly Secret*?" Hearing the man's shouts, Li Li Lianhua felt a slight stir in his heart.

To be honest, although he also felt these two were righteous men, he was a person who feared trouble.

Was it worth getting into a fight for two people he had just met?

Li Li Lianhua felt that whether he helped or not didn't really matter, and he was contemplating whether to just leave or to intervene!

But upon learning that these two were Ding Dian and Di Yun, Li Li Lianhua couldn't sit still!

After all, these two knew the secret of the Liancheng Treasure!

If these two obtained the Liancheng Treasure and used it to pay his medical fees...

Once this thought occurred to him, how could Li Li Lianhua stand by and watch?

"Di Yun? Is that Di Yun, the disciple of 'Iron Lock Across the River' Qi Changfa?" Li Li Lianhua called out to them!

"You recognize me?" The younger man, who was full of vitality, looked at Li Li Lianhua in astonishment!

Confirmed!

Hearing Di Yun's response, the conjecture in Li Li Lianhua's heart was verified!

Then, according to the original story, Di Yun and Ding Dian were together, looking so wretched and disheveled, and being hunted by Ling Ling Tuisi and his soldiers?

Li Li Lianhua could roughly understand the timeline!

"Hero Ding!"

Thinking that at this time, Ding Dian was poisoned by the Golden Boxun Flower, Li Li Lianhua looked at Ding Dian and said, "I see you seem to be suffering from a severe poison. Hmm, let me see... these symptoms, it seems to be the Golden Boxun Flower poison from the Western Regions? Do you want me to help you detoxify?"

"Li Li Lianhua, I do not wish to make things difficult for you, yet you insist on going your own way?" Hearing Li Li Lianhua talk about detoxifying Ding Dian at a time like this, Ling Ling Tuisi's expression changed immediately!

"Detoxify!?"

Having just heard from Ling Ling Tuisi that the person before them was a divine physician who could bring the dead back to life, and now hearing Li Li Lianhua offer to detoxify, both Ding Dian and Di Yun were secretly overjoyed!

*Swish!*

Regarding Ling Ling Tuisi's threat, Li Li Lianhua only glanced at him indifferently. He then raised his hand, and the Wenjing Sword wrapped around his waist appeared in his hand.

Then, with a sweep of his long sword, a sharp sword Qi carved a deep and long mark on the ground!

"My patient, Li Li Lianhua's, even Jesus cannot take away—I said so!" ===== CHAPTER 5 =====

Sword Qi!?

Seeing Li Li Lianhua casually swing his sword and carve a long mark on the ground from a distance, Ling Ling Tuisi, who was a man of some experience, was greatly startled!

The Jiang Hu is vast, with billions of people; martial artists are as numerous as the stars in the night sky.

However, ninety percent of them remain at the Post-Heaven realm.

And the combat of Post-Heaven martial artists is primarily close-quarters—slashing at necks or striking at lungs.

Only a very small number of existences can bridge the gap between heaven and earth, open the Ren and Du meridians, and step into the Pre-Heaven realm!

The characteristics of the Pre-Heaven realm are very clear: Pre-Heaven true energy is much purer than Post-Heaven true energy, to the point where one can project true energy externally!

For martial artists at this level, combat is no longer just close-quarters fighting. Those who practice finger techniques can shoot out aerial finger force, such as the One-Yang Finger of the Dali Duan clan!

Those who practice palm techniques can strike with palm force, such as the Beggar Sect's Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms.

Those who practice fist techniques can blast out fist force, such as the World Association's Frost Fist, and so on!

In short, being able to project true energy externally is at least a hallmark of a Pre-Heaven martial artist!

This divine physician Li Li Lianhua before them actually flicked his hand and released sword Qi?

Jiang Hu people only knew that Li Li Lianhua was a divine physician, but they never expected him to be a Pre-Heaven swordsman as well?

This left Ling Ling Tuisi stunned for a moment, not daring to act rashly!

Although Ling Ling Tuisi knew a little martial arts, it was just basic stuff, incomparable to a Pre-Heaven martial artist!

"Divine Physician Li, are you determined to interfere in our affairs?"

But since Di Yun and Ding Dian were related to the Liancheng Treasure, it was impossible for Ling Ling Tuisi to just hand them over!

"You also know I am a divine physician. Therefore, I do not wish to inquire about your Jiang Hu grievances. I am a healer; I am only responsible for healing injuries and treating illnesses!" Re-sheathing his sword at his waist, Li Li Lianhua said calmly!

These words left Ling Ling Tuisi silent!

Did the other party really not know that Ding Dian represented the mystery of the Liancheng Treasure? Was it really just a simple doctor-patient relationship?

Although he didn't want to believe it, the other party hadn't pushed things to the extreme, so Ling Ling Tuisi didn't have the heart to risk a fight with a Pre-Heaven martial artist!

"Fine. In that case, I will give Divine Physician Li some face and wait here!" After a moment of silence, Ling Ling Tuisi said!

Hearing Ling Ling Tuisi's words, Li Li Lianhua ignored him and looked at Di Yun and Ding Dian, saying, "Young Hero Di's injuries are not a big problem; it’s a trivial matter. As for you, Hero Ding, you are poisoned by the Golden Boxun Flower, which is slightly more troublesome!"

"Of course, it is not untreatable, but... for the two of you to be healed and detoxified, the medical fees cannot be lacking!"

Fearing the other party might give up, Li Li Lianhua stated that he could cure the Golden Boxun Flower poison!

"Divine Physician Li, you have seen our condition; we are penniless..."

Hearing Li Li Lianhua mention he could cure the Golden Boxun Flower poison, Ding Dian was naturally willing to be cured, but when medical fees were mentioned, he expressed his embarrassment at his empty pockets!

"You can owe these medical fees for now and pay them back later!"

Li Li Lianhua waved his hand, looking as if he wasn't worried about them not paying the fees!

"Divine Physician Li, you have also seen that Ling Ling Tuisi and his men want to capture us. I fear Brother Ding and I may not have a 'later'!" Di Yun added!

"Rest assured, I am a person who never treats anyone without a reason!" Looking at Di Yun, Li Li Lianhua said with a faint smile on his face!

These words left Ding Dian and Di Yun stunned. Could it be? Is the Divine Physician going to take action himself?

Without further ado, Li Li Lianhua first raised his hand toward Di Yun.

His hand bloomed with a red light, and Di Yun felt his injuries recovering rapidly, his physical strength also returning quickly!

The injury where his shoulder blades had been pierced also recovered as if new, and he couldn't feel any pain at all!

"Divine Physician Li, what, what kind of technique is this? I feel like I'm completely fine!"

He knew his own body; in the blink of an eye, his injuries had completely recovered, which made Di Yun exclaim in wonder!

Ignoring Di Yun's joyful shouting, Li Li Lianhua aimed his All-Encompassing Hand at Ding Dian and activated it again!

If he could cure his own Bicha Poison, which he had carried for nearly ten years, a mere Golden Boxun Flower poison was naturally nothing!

Under the effect of the All-Encompassing Hand, the Golden Boxun Flower poison was likewise forced to his fingertips, and then, a drop of pale golden venom was forced out!

It wasn't just detoxification; under the effect of the All-Encompassing Hand, all of Ding Dian's injuries were healed!

To use gaming terms, this was like filling up his health bar!

"This, this is truly a divine ability!"

No acupuncture, no medicine, not even taking his pulse—yet the injuries and the poison were resolved with a wave of his hand? Not to mention Ding Dian and Di Yun, even Ling Ling Tuisi was left dumbfounded!

Originally, the Jiang Hu rumors that the divine physician Li Li Lianhua possessed the ability to bring the dead back to life were thought to be exaggerations of his medical skills.

Unexpectedly, his medical skills were actually this high!? ===== CHAPTER 6 =====
