Divine Doctor from the Start of the Eye Mutation

Chapter 1640 1640: The Poisoned One

Lu Tao said, "Being able to speak is truly wonderful, especially with one's own children. That feeling is indescribable."

Ling Zhenfei took Lu Tao's pulse while managing to chat with him using Dual Focus.

"How much strength do you think you'll have left once the poison in your body is completely purged?"

Lu Tao replied, "The poison runs deep. If not for the Northern Spiritual Energy resisting it all these years, I would have been dead already. Even if I'm cured now, the remaining strength would probably only be at the Zhiyi Boundary."

Ling Zhenfei asked, "What was your realm before, senior?"

Lu Tao said, "Before entering the Foreign Land Space, I was at the early Pursue Heart State. When I came out of the Foreign Land Space, I had already reached the Middle to Late Stage of the Pursue Heart State."

Ling Zhenfei questioned, "How long were you in the Foreign Land Space?"

Lu Tao thought for a moment and said, "About half a year."

Ling Zhenfei was stunned after listening. He said, "From early Pursue Heart State to Middle to Late Stage in just half a year, that's an incredibly fast improvement!"

Lu Tao said, "Entering the Foreign Land Space definitely has significant personal improvement. However, when I came out, I was harmed by those two lads, Hoshino Yuji. Otherwise, my cultivation wouldn't have turned to dust."

By this time, Ling Zhenfei had already figured out the poison within Lu Tao's body; in fact, he had understood it the last time.

Ling Zhenfei was very familiar with how the poison circulated and the paths it took within Lu Tao. So he just needed to control the poison and expel it.

This method had been tested by Ling Zhenfei on both Hoshino Yuji and Watanabe Kazushi, giving him some experience.

So this time, it was a familiar practice, although now Ling Zhenfei's strength had improved significantly.

Back when Ling Zhenfei was treating Watanabe Kazushi, he was only at the Zhiyi Boundary. Now, his strength had already reached the pinnacle of Dawen Realm.

This strength had increased by countless times.

However, he was treating Lu Tao this time, and the poison was much deeper than Watanabe Kazushi's, making the treatment more difficult.

Fortunately, Ling Zhenfei could use Dual Focus—treating while chatting with Lu Tao—not feeling particularly depressed.

"Zhenfei, you're not young anymore. Are you married?"

Ling Zhenfei replied, "Not yet. If I get married, I'd definitely invite you for a drink, senior."

Lu Tao said, "So you have someone in mind, right? With your qualifications, many young girls must be pursuing you."

Ling Zhenfei said, "There are indeed a few who pursue me, but I haven't decided yet."

Lu Tao said, "What's to consider? Just find someone you like."

Ling Zhenfei replied, "Feelings are indeed difficult to articulate; it's not a matter that can be summed up with a single liking."

Lu Tao laughed and said, "You've met my two daughters, haven't you? What do you think?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "I've indeed met them. Each one is a beauty, like a Fairy."

Lu Tao laughed and said, "If you like one, I can help arrange it. I truly like you, young man."

Ling Zhenfei hurriedly said, "Please don't joke with me, senior. They're too beautiful; I wouldn't be able to support them."

Lu Tao said, "What are you talking about? No one expects you to support them. My younger daughter, Hua Nong, has been obedient since childhood. She never steps out, excelling in arts and crafts—no need for you to support her."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Lu Huanong is truly a good lady, outstanding in all aspects. However, I'm a mere mortal, and Hua Nong seems like a celestial being avoiding worldly affairs. I'm afraid I'm not worthy of her."

Lu Tao was slightly surprised and said, "What about Yunshang? Yunshang's personality is different from Hua Nong's; she's very diligent, as seen by her coming to find me all these years."

Ling Zhenfei was shocked. Lu Yunshang was indeed excellent, but she's Chen Qian's interest.

Chen Qian is infatuated with Lu Yunshang, and if he tangled with Lu Yunshang, they wouldn't remain brothers afterward.

Ling Zhenfei hurriedly said, "Sister Yunshang is indeed wonderful, but to me, she's distant, like a Fairy.

You know, the first time I saw Sister Yunshang, I truly thought she was a Celestial Maiden descended to the mortal world."

Lu Tao was somewhat surprised. Logically, each of his daughters should be like a phoenix among people. Unexpectedly, Ling Zhenfei wanted neither.

Lu Tao said, "I've cultivated my two daughters since childhood to reach such achievements. Did I make a mistake, making no one dare to marry them?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "You're mistaken, senior, it's just my personal opinion. To my knowledge, regarding Sister Yunshang, your three disciples have been vying for her since childhood."

Upon Ling Zhenfei mentioning his three disciples, Lu Tao's expression turned sour.

"Why are you bringing them up, it just annoys me."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Surely Zhao Leng and Feng Zilong went astray, which is upsetting, but there's still Chen Qian. Shouldn't you be proud?"

Lu Tao said, "Chen Qian's talent is average; even if he cultivates, it'll only reach your realm."

Ling Zhenfei said, "But in business matters, his achievements are unmatched."

Lu Tao, hearing this, laughed and said, "Teaching him strategy and tactics since childhood did have some effect."

At this point, Ling Zhenfei recalled something and said, "I want to tell you something, senior. I hope you won't be angry."

Lu Tao said, "Whatever it is, just say it; why would I be angry?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "I killed your second disciple Feng Zilong."

Lu Tao, upon hearing this, was shocked, "What did you say, Feng Zilong was killed by you?"

Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Feng Zilong tried to kill me multiple times. You know, when at a crossroads, courage prevails. If I hadn't killed him, he would have killed me, so I eliminated him."

Originally thinking Feng Zilong was Lu Tao's disciple would anger him, surprisingly, Lu Tao laughed, "Well done, well done.

That lad deserved to die long ago; I heard it from Yunshang. Initially, I planned to wait until my wounds healed and deal with him personally, but you did it for me."

Ling Zhenfei said, "As long as you're not upset, senior."

Lu Tao said, "Why would I be? I want to thank you. Yunshang told me last night that you cured Hua Nong's illness too.

If not for you, I might never have seen Hua Nong again. I truly don't know how to thank you, that's why I thought of marrying one of them off to you."

Ling Zhenfei said, "To be honest, senior, I'm currently overwhelmed by emotional issues, so naturally I can't accept your kindness."

Lu Tao laughed and said, "Suit yourself."

The treatment Ling Zhenfei was giving Lu Tao was slow, not something that could be rushed.

Ling Zhenfei asked Lu Tao, "I heard you used to be quite the charmer in Jianghu, leaving behind many tales. You must have been a legend back then."
