Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

Ye Ling carefully examined the scales-like substances on Liu Yuandong's body.

In fact, these were not scales but a kind of toxin.

However, when there were too many toxins, they would overflow from Liu Yuandong's body and harden, transforming into this appearance.

After examining for a while, Ye Ling gently pinched these toxins.

"Hiss!"

Liu Yuandong immediately inhaled sharply, appearing to be in great pain.

"Ye Ling, how is my dad doing?"

Liu Qiao'er had walked in from outside at this time, asking worriedly.

Ye Ling didn't speak but tried to feel Liu Yuandong's pulse again.

"Come on, just tell me, how exactly is my dad?" Liu Qiao'er asked anxiously.

A moment later, Ye Ling let out a sigh of relief and smiled, "It's alright, the toxins haven't spread to the heart. Otherwise, Uncle Liu would have really been beyond help."

Liu Qiao'er's eyes lit up, "Are you saying that you can cure my dad?"

"Mhm."

Ye Ling nodded and said, "As long as it hasn't spread to the heart, I can cure Uncle Liu."

"Really?!"

Liu Yuandong once again sat up excitedly, hardly daring to believe it.

Could this young man really cure the disease that even medical experts couldn't heal?

After his burst of excitement, Liu Yuandong lay back down on the bed, deflated.

"Little Ye, don't comfort me. As long as you treat Qiao'er well and are truly sincere, even if I die, I would rest in peace."

"Dad, how can you say such a thing?"

Liu Qiao'er immediately began to cry, her father was still thinking about her even at such a time.

"Heh, I know what's going on with my own illness."

Liu Yuandong shook his head and forced a smile, "Over these years, we've visited countless major hospitals and spent quite a sum, but it still turned out this way. Even if Little Ye can really cure me, it would probably require a lot of money. I don't want to be a burden on you and your mom anymore. Let it be."

With that, Liu Yuandong clenched his fists tightly.

Who would want to die?

Moreover, with a wife and children, Liu Yuandong still wanted to see Liu Qiao'er marry off beautifully and to see his son Liu Mingzhi get married.

What a pity!

He might be able to hold on for a few more years with this illness, but that would depend on medications. The Liu Family really couldn't afford the cost of those medications any longer.

"Dad..."

Liu Qiao'er couldn't hold back anymore and began to cry audibly while leaning on Liu Yuandong's bed.

"You girl, I'm not dead yet, why are you crying?"

Liu Yuandong smirked weakly, his eyes reddening as well. Read the latest stories on M-VL-em|p,yr

Seeing this scene, Ye Ling couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless; he hadn't even said anything yet, and here they were already crying.

"Go on, ask your mom to cook some dishes. I think Little Ye is quite alright. I want to have a few drinks with Little Ye at lunch today," Liu Yuandong chuckled.

Liu Qiao'er was indeed obedient, nodding her little head and about to walk outside.

"Wait a moment."

However, Ye Ling suddenly said, "No rush with the meal. Do you have needles at home?"

"Yes," Liu Qiao'er said.

Those silver needles had also been specially bought because the major hospital treatments hadn't worked, so they sought out some traditional Chinese medicine doctors, but in the end, that wasn't effective either.

"Bring them to me," Ye Ling said.

Liu Yuandong looked puzzled, "What do you need the needles for?"

Ye Ling smiled slightly, "Doesn't Uncle Liu doubt me? No matter, today I'll start by clearing the toxins in your body, so you can see for yourself whether I am deceiving you or not."

Upon hearing there was real hope, Liu Qiao'er quickly ran out.

Soon, a set of silver needles and a bottle of alcohol appeared in front of Ye Ling.

After disinfecting the silver needles, Ye Ling only took two.

"Uncle Liu, this might hurt a bit, so please bear with it," Ye Ling said.

Liu Yuandong shook his head and replied, "What pain have I not endured over the years? Go ahead, I'm already desperate enough to clutch at straws."

Ye Ling nodded, opened Liu Yuandong's left eye with his fingers, and approached with a silver needle.

Liu Qiao'er was startled and quickly asked, "Ye Ling, where are you going to pierce?"

"The eye," Ye Ling said.

"The... the eye?"

Not just Liu Qiao'er was shocked, even Liu Yuandong was taken aback.

Acupuncture, including piercing the eye?

"You're not just stabbing blindly, are you?" Liu Yuandong thought apprehensively.

Just thinking about that pain, he knew it would be unbearable.

"Ye Ling, it's not that I don't trust you, but really..."

Worry showed on the pretty face of Liu Qiao'er, she truly couldn't understand what her father's body full of toxins had to do with his eyes?

"You will understand in a moment."

Ye Ling looked at Liu Yuandong and only after Liu Yuandong nodded did he approach again with the silver needle.

In fact, Ye Ling was taking an unconventional approach.

If it were Earth's medicine, there would certainly be no talk of piercing the eye.

But who was Ye Ling? He was the Nine Tribulation Immortal Emperor!

What did Earth's medicine account to Ye Ling? It was nothing!

"Ah!!"

Even though Liu Yuandong clenched his teeth tightly, the moment the silver needle pierced him, he still cried out loudly.

Instinctively, he wanted to close his eyes, but Ye Ling held them firmly open.

If he closed his eyes at that moment, all efforts would be wasted.

"Qiao'er, come over and help me hold this," Ye Ling instructed.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qiao'er's delicate body trembled; she couldn't even bear to look, let alone help.

"Quickly!" Ye Ling commanded sharply.

With no other choice, Liu Qiao'er hurried over.

Seeing her father's agonized expression, Liu Qiao'er felt her heart ache.

After Liu Qiao'er held open Liu Yuandong's left eye, Ye Ling took hold of Liu Yuandong's right eye, picked up the silver needle, and unhesitatingly pierced it in.

"Ah!!!"

Another heart-wrenching scream emanated from Liu Yuandong's mouth.

Zhang Yuhua had also arrived by now, knowing that Ye Ling was treating Liu Yuandong; her eyes brimmed with tears.

Without attempting, she knew the pain must be life-threatening.

But the next moment, Zhang Yuhua was astounded.

After Ye Ling's second needle went in, the scale-like substances on Liu Yuandong's body started peeling off like a layer of skin.

10 minutes later, the layer of purple-black 'scales' had completely fallen to the ground!

Only then did Ye Ling breathe a sigh of relief and pulled the two silver needles out of Liu Yuandong's eyes.

Throughout the process, Liu Yuandong passed out more than once or twice but was always roused by Ye Ling using True Qi.

While passing out did mean not feeling the pain, one mustn't faint during the acupuncture process.

"It's done," Ye Ling said as he let go of his hands.

Liu Qiao'er quickly grabbed her father's arm, sobbing, "Dad, it's over, it's over..."

Liu Yuandong's face was pale as he took deep breaths.

However, there were no puncture marks in his eyes; it was as if they had never been pierced by the silver needles at all.

All this was thanks to Ye Ling's True Qi.
