Chapter 523: This Is All I Can Do
Leng Mei was completely immune to Lin Feng’s miraculous abilities, for she knew there was nothing impossible for him. Thus, when Lin Feng showed off this particular skill, Leng Mei wasn’t the least bit surprised; her heart merely skipped a beat. Her understanding of Lin Feng made her realize that he might now be truly angered with Liu Hong, which started to worry her. After all, no matter how you looked at it, Liu Hong was an S-class expert, one of the few in the world, almost akin to a demi-immortal!
If Lin Feng were to clash with such an expert, it would undoubtedly... undoubtedly be dangerous. Now that she was Lin Feng’s woman, she didn’t want him to face any harm. With this thought, Leng Mei slowly walked over to Lin Feng’s side and stood there, her stance clear—if anyone dared to harm Lin Feng, they would have to contend with her first. Even though she didn’t possess much strength, she had the entire Leng Family backing her up—this was her greatest show of support for Lin Feng!
Chen Guisheng and Leng Hui exchanged glances, their eyes filled with mirth. They clearly understood the implications of Lin Feng’s action: to effortlessly bypass an S-class expert suggested a profound meaning. Lin Feng’s abilities had to be terrifying, and while no one knew just how formidable he was, his boldness in front of an S-class expert hinted that Lin Feng had his reasons. Otherwise, given Lin Feng’s personality, he would not have done such a thing—it indicated that Lin Feng was indeed a bit angry with Liu Hong.
The two, with a silent understanding, also slowly moved to Lin Feng’s side, demonstrating their position through their actions. They were Lin Feng’s strongest supporters: one, Chen Guo, known as National Hand Chen, who had treated countless leaders; the other, General Leng, a war hero renowned across the country. The influence of these two individuals was immense—if anyone intended to harm Lin Feng, they’d have to reckon with their retaliation.
From the moment Leng Hao walked in, he had been silent, standing by Yuan Kun’s side and watching everything unfold. He was utterly stunned! At first, he was skeptical about Lin Feng’s medical skills, but as events unfolded, it dawned on him that Lin Feng was, without any doubt, a supreme expert—for he had executed an unpredictable blink move right in front of S-class Liu Hong. Such a display of skill was frightening, and what was more terrifying was that Lin Feng hadn’t even made a move yet. If Lin Feng had struck back just now, then...
And watching Lin Feng as he held Grandpa Meng’s wrist to check his pulse, he was convinced that Lin Feng was knowledgeable in medicine. The aura Lin Feng exuded was strikingly similar to Grandpa Chen’s, something no charlatan could fake. Leng Hao had heard Grandpa Chen say before that only a true medical expert could attain such a state!
Furthermore, his sister, Grandpa Chen, and Grandpa Meng had, without a word, taken their places behind Lin Feng. Their actions alone spoke volumes; they were protecting Lin Feng with everything they had, signaling to everyone their strong support for him. This was... this was too astonishing! Never had Grandpa Chen and Grandpa Meng held anyone in such high regard, nor had his sister ever done so before!
Just who exactly was this Lin Feng, and what was his real identity? Leng Hao found himself at a loss for words, his heart in shock. This man, who was only a few years his senior, had surpassed all his understanding of cultivators...
Seeing Lin Feng checking Grandpa Meng’s pulse brought relief to Meng Liang. He didn’t understand medical arts, but his instincts told him that this young man before him was undoubtedly a superlative medical expert. He had seen Uncle Chen in action, and it was just like this—an indescribable sensation.
Moreover, from what had transpired in the room, it was clear to him that Lin Feng was far more skilled in medicine than Liu Hong. Otherwise, Liu Hong wouldn’t have ceased his challenge upon Lin Feng’s mention of the "Ganping Prescription"—this only meant Lin Feng’s medical prowess was so profound that even Liu Hong was left speechless.
His father had truly encountered a master this time. Although only a man in his twenties, Meng Liang felt sure that he would be able to save his father; otherwise, neither Uncle Chen nor Uncle Leng would regard him so highly. With this in mind, Meng Liang also slowly stepped behind Lin Feng, beside Leng Hui, indicating his stance through his own actions.
The room was silent; a mysterious tacit understanding had formed among everyone present. Seeing the four individuals standing behind Lin Feng, Liu Hong and Yuan Kun knew it was impossible to do anything to Lin Feng—they could only wait on the side for Lin Feng to complete his diagnosis. Meanwhile, Leng Hao stood by, staring at Lin Feng, his mind preoccupied with thoughts...
After more than half an hour, Lin Feng finally reopened his eyes.
Lin Feng had just used True Qi to fully circulate through Meng Ping’s body and had found his condition severely compromised. Not only was the site of the illness affected, but other internal organs also bore the ravages of drug erosion, leaving behind numerous hidden dangers that made them susceptible to issues at any time. Moreover, the most serious issue was indeed with Meng Ping’s blood vessels, just as his senior brother had said—they were too fragile to withstand the direct application of potent drugs.
"National Hand Chen, the range of medicines in the Capital City is quite extensive, right?" Lin Feng paused for a moment before asking Chen Guisheng.
"Of course, tell me whatever medicine you need." Chen Guisheng understood his junior brother’s meaning, which must be the need for some special and rare medications. However, inside the pharmacy in Capital City that was specially set up to treat the officials, they had nearly every medicine available, except for a few extremely rare treasures that required fate to obtain.
"Alright, I’ll write a prescription, and I’ll need you to personally make the trip." After saying this, Lin Feng walked over to a table, picked up a pen, and wrote out a prescription before handing it over to Chen Guisheng.
"Good! I will handle it immediately! Xiao Hao, drive me there!" Chen Guisheng didn’t even look at the prescription before tucking it into his pocket and instructed the standing Xiao Hao to drive him to get the medicine.
Leng Hao followed Chen Guisheng out of the room without saying a word. He knew the importance of the matter and that it wasn’t the time for talk. Getting the medicine with Grandpa Chen was the top priority.
Once the two had left the room, Leng Hui looked at Lin Feng and let out a sigh of relief before he resumed speaking.
"How is Meng Ping’s condition?" Leng Hui asked Lin Feng softly. Right now, he was exceptionally concerned about how confident Lin Feng was in curing Meng Ping.
Leng Mei and Meng Liang were just as eager to hear Lin Feng’s words. They both wanted to know the severity of the condition, worried about Meng Ping’s illness. After all, Chen Guisheng and Liu Hong, two top-level masters, had already diagnosed the case as hopeless. So, what about Lin Feng...?
Meanwhile, Liu Hong and Yuan Kun stood still, but they were all ears, wanting to hear Lin Feng’s take on Meng Ping’s condition. They were extremely concerned about whether Lin Feng could cure Meng Ping. However, Liu Hong was worried about what would happen with the antique jade if Lin Feng managed to cure Meng Ping, while Yuan Kun was anxious that if Liu Hong couldn’t act to save Meng Ping and get the jade, all his plans would truly be ruined!
"General Meng’s condition is quite bad. His internal organs could fail at any time, and his blood vessels are too fragile to withstand potent medications. The cerebral hemorrhage is indeed difficult to clear in such conditions, but it’s not impossible. It’s just a bit more troublesome. I will do my best, although I need to use some alternative methods. Curing his illness shouldn’t be a problem, and it might even slightly extend his life by a few years. That’s all I can do."
Lin Feng briefed them on the condition, estimating that if things went smoothly, he could even extend Meng Ping’s lifespan a bit. It wouldn’t be much, but it could be seen as a blessing in disguise for Meng Ping.
"What! You can cure my father’s illness and even extend his life! This..." Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Meng Liang’s heart surged with excitement. He rushed over to Lin Feng, grasped his hand, and shook it vigorously to express his thanks. He never dreamed that not only could his father’s illness be cured, but his life could also be extended. It was too astonishing! Meng Liang was so overwhelmed with gratitude that it was all he could do to keep shaking Lin Feng’s hand.
Hearing Lin Feng’s words, both Leng Mei and Leng Hui’s hearts, which had been in their throats, finally settled. Smiles filled their faces as they both believed that if Lin Feng said it could be cured, it most certainly would be. Especially when they heard that Lin Feng might even extend Meng Ping’s lifespan, they were even more elated. Lin Feng had indeed given everyone an enormous surprise!
"What, how is that possible!" Liu Hong was also shocked by Lin Feng’s words, but his reaction was more one of disbelief. He simply couldn’t believe that Lin Feng could achieve such a thing. If Lin Feng could cure Meng Ping, he might reluctantly accept it, given Lin Feng’s skill and the fact that he could name the ingredients from the "Ganping Prescription." But to extend a person’s life, that seemed utterly unimaginable. It was simply impossible because no one could defy fate, not even Liu Hong!
Now, Liu Hong was determined to stay here and see how Lin Feng would cure Meng Ping and wanted to find out how he would extend his life. He was curious to see just how skilled Lin Feng really was in medicine!
"..." Yuan Kun, upon hearing Lin Feng make such a claim, felt a chill in his heart. If Lin Feng truly could save Meng Ping and also extend his life, then wouldn’t all his efforts be in vain? A stellar opportunity would disappear just like that, and his plan for his uncle to enhance his cultivation power would fall through. How could this be possible?
Although Yuan Kun wished to stop Lin Feng from treating Meng Ping, he knew it was impossible, as standing behind Lin Feng were both the Meng and Leng families, whose decisions no one could influence. Now he could only watch the events unfold helplessly.
