I Can See Through All Things' Information-Chapter 468 - 312_2

Chapter 468: 312_2

“Young Master is versed in medical skills?”

The merchant’s eyes lit up immediately upon hearing Lu Qing speak so authoritatively.

“I have a certain understanding, if Uncle does not mind, would you let me treat you? It would be in return for the guidance you gave me just now,” said Lu Qing with a smile.

“Very well, please proceed with the treatment. Even if you make it worse, I won’t blame you!” the merchant hastened to say.

“It won’t come to that. Although my skills are not perfect, I have never made anyone’s condition worse.”

Lu Qing smiled, took a needle bag out of his bosom.

“Uncle, please take off your shoes and roll up your trouser legs.”

The merchant hurriedly took off his socks and shoes and rolled up his trouser legs. Everyone gasped upon seeing his legs.

The merchant’s legs below the knees were already a dark shade of blue-black.

Above the knees, there was also a faint blue-black hue, looking quite frightening.

Even Lu Qing was slightly taken aback.

It wasn’t so much the blue-black appearance that shocked him, but rather he was amazed that the cold evil energy was so severe. An ordinary person would probably have been unable to walk by now.

But this merchant was simply showing a bit of discomfort.

It must be understood, he was just an ordinary person, only a bit more physically robust, not even a martial artist yet.

This willpower even impressed Lu Qing.

“Uncle, I will use acupuncture to force out this cold evil energy.

There might be some discomfort, so please try to bear with it.”

“It’s fine. Young Master, just treat me. How could the pain be worse than what I endure at night? As long as you don’t chop off my leg, you may proceed as you wish,” the merchant said nonchalantly.

Everyone listening was taken aback.

Who knew how much pain he’d been enduring to say such a thing.

Lu Qing nodded, took several silver needles from the needle bag.

One by one, he inserted them into the merchant’s legs.

His speed of inserting the needles wasn’t fast, but his movements were as fluid and natural as flowing water.

Even those who knew nothing of medical skills could discern his profound expertise in acupuncture.

The merchant was even more certain.

He had braced himself for discomfort when Lu Qing said he would insert the needles, ready to grit his teeth and not cry out in pain, no matter how painful it would be later.

But as he watched the silver needles penetrate his legs, aside from an initial sting, he felt nothing else.

And that sting was trivial compared to the torment he had endured these past days, hardly worth mentioning.

Lu Qing’s needle insertion was not fast, but it was extremely precise.

Before long, he had inserted eighteen silver needles into each of the merchant’s legs.

After all the silver needles were in, Lu Qing flicked his wrist ever so slightly, a trace of spiritual power seeping out to influence the needles.

Instantly, the thirty-six silver needles on the merchant’s legs began to hum, trembling in unison and emitting a radiant silver glow.

This startled the merchant, his eyes widening.

His legs felt sour, numb, and swollen as if countless warm currents were swirling within. It was extremely uncomfortable.

Had he not bitten down on his teeth in time, he probably would have cried out in pain.

To the others, it was a different scene entirely.

Beneath the shimmering silver light, they saw the blue-black color on the merchant’s legs being forced down bit by bit.

At last, it gathered into two black bulges the size of copper beans on both big toes.

As the bulges formed, Lu Qing quickly produced another silver needle, stabbing swiftly at them.

With two hissing sounds, two streams of black blood spurted out, landing on the ground and releasing a blue-black vapor, dissipating in the sunlight.

As the black blood shot out, the merchant who had been enduring with clenched teeth suddenly relaxed his face.

Showing an expression of relief, without a trace of pain.

Seeing there was no more blue-blackness on the merchant’s legs, Lu Qing began to remove the needles.

His speed of removing needles was much faster than when inserting them.

In the blink of an eye, all the silver needles were back in the bag.

“Uncle, please try to stand up and walk around to see if everything is alright?”

The merchant did not hesitate and immediately stood up, walking barefoot on the ground.

He quickly showed a look of surprise and delight on his face.

His legs felt incredibly comfortable, with just a slight stinging pain in both his injured thumbs, without any other discomfort.

Compared to just moments before, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.

Without caring for anything else, he immediately threw himself to his knees and started kowtowing to Lu Qing.

“Thank you, Young Master, for saving my life!”

Lu Qing jumped in surprise and quickly helped him up, “Uncle, you’re too kind. It was just a treatment for your legs, such a grand gesture is unnecessary.”

With Lu Qing’s cultivation, the merchant naturally could not resist his strength and was gently helped to his feet.

However, the gratitude on his face did not diminish.

Instead, with tears in his eyes, he began to share his suffering with Lu Qing.

“Young Master, you do not know, ever since I got this leg pain, these days have been torturous for me.

As night falls, my legs start to hurt.

And as the hours pass, the pain slowly intensifies.

By midnight, it’s so painful that I feel like my teeth are going to shatter.

Plainly speaking, sometimes when it hurts, I really want to just take a knife and chop off my own leg.

During this time, I’ve consulted many doctors, yet not a single one could cure my legs.

Some even said that my condition is so strange, perhaps only martial artists of the Innate Realm might have a way to treat it.

But I am just a mere ordinary merchant, what merit or ability do I have to get those high and mighty Innate Realm individuals to treat my legs?

Thus, these days, I had already given up.

I was waiting to return home and make arrangements for my affairs and find a place to end it all.

To spare myself the agony of dying from the pain someday.”

Listening to the merchant’s lament, everyone felt a mix of sadness and alarm.

They hadn’t expected the supposed cold evil energy to be so terrifying.

To see a man of such resolute character being tortured to the point of considering suicide…

It was truly hard to imagine how horrific the pain must be.

“That’s why I say, Young Master, you’ve truly saved my life.”

The merchant said this and again attempted to kowtow to Lu Qing.

This time, Lu Qing was prepared and would not let him kneel again.

Gently stopping him, he said, “I’m just fulfilling the duty of a doctor, Uncle. There’s no need for such formalities.”

Seeing he could not kneel, the merchant also realized that Lu Qing was no ordinary person, but a powerful martial artist.

He immediately reached for his money pouch, “Right, Young Master, I want to give you the payment for the consultation.”

“No need, Uncle,” Lu Qing once again smiled and shook his head, “Consider that in return for the information you just gave me about the White Elephant. Life on the road is not easy for anyone.

Besides, I didn’t use any Medicine Stones, so there’s no need for a consultation fee.

By the way, the city gates are about to open, and my companions are waiting for me. I need to go.”

Having said this, he did not give the merchant another chance, and with a slight movement, he was already out of the crowd’s encirclement, heading towards the carriage.

Everyone admired his graceful movement technique and looked on with respect for the mysterious young man who had suddenly appeared.

“Brother, were you treating that uncle’s illness just now?”

Little Yan asked sweetly as Lu Qing returned.

They had all seen Lu Qing administering the silver needles earlier.

“Yes, I went to inquire about some things, and when I saw that uncle’s legs seemed a bit inconvenient, I took the opportunity to treat him,” Lu Qing nodded.

Hu Zezhi’s eyes flashed with admiration.

In her eyes, Lu Qing was always so willing to help others, his character so noble, that she found it difficult to look up to him.

The elder doctor showed a look of approval.

Lu Qing had not forgotten the heart of a doctor, and that pleased him the most.

“By the way, Master, you must have heard about what those two merchants mentioned earlier, didn’t you?” Lu Qing said.

The elder doctor’s expression also turned serious, and he nodded, “Yes, I heard. I didn’t expect there would be so many Mutant Beasts out there.”
