Hearing this, Su Qiang and Yang Mei exchanged a glance, and finally Su Qiang said, "All right, since that old master told you to keep it secret, we won't ask any more. But don't forget to repay him. After all, since you learned skills from him, you mustn't forget to show your gratitude."
"Dad, I understand."
Su Tian replied. Seeing this, Su Qiang said no more, while Su Tian returned to his room, a smile appearing on his face.
"Well, it seems I need to speed up my study of the knowledge in the true scripture. This knowledge is so useful, it's bound to come in very handy in the future."
Su Tian muttered to himself inwardly, then sat cross-legged once again.
Time flew by quickly. At nine-thirty in the evening, after his parents had fallen asleep, Su Tian suddenly frowned and opened his eyes.
As it turned out, through his divine sense, he sensed a van arriving outside the residential complex, and this van belonged to Jinyuan Company.
"What are they here for again? Asking for a death wish?"
With a cold look in his eyes, Su Tian immediately got up, left the house, and walked toward the main gate of the complex.
As soon as he arrived, Su Tian saw that the van's doors were open, and Jinyuan along with several dyed-blond youths were getting out.
This time, however, the blond youths were not holding machetes or steel pipes; instead, they were carrying several boxes of liquor and several boxes of cigarettes.
This made Su Tian frown. At that moment, Jinyuan spotted Su Tian as well, and immediately wore a look of pleasant surprise. "Brother Tian, why did you come out? I was just about to go pay you a visit."
"Cut the crap. What do you want?"
Hearing this, Jinyuan's expression tightened, but the next moment he put on a bitter and pleading look. "Brother Tian, to tell you the truth, I've really reached the end of my rope, otherwise I would never dare to come and disturb you..."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Su Tian spat out those four words again, making Jinyuan's body tremble. The next second, he gritted his teeth. "All right, then I'll speak plainly. My dad is sick—he has diabetes complications and has already fallen into a deep coma. The doctors say my dad is in grave danger and they can't be sure if he'll wake up, so I want to beg you to save my dad."
"Save your dad? What makes you so sure I can save him?"
"Brother Tian, I know you are a true expert. Having roamed society for many years, I've seen quite a few experts. The methods you used to deal with me before are only possessed by real experts, so I can only pin my hopes on you."
Jinyuan pleaded, and the next moment he actually dropped to his knees on the ground. "Brother, I'm truly at my wit's end, so I'm begging you to help me."
Su Tian fell silent, thinking to himself that this Jinyuan really lived up to his reputation as a seasoned scoundrel in society. After only a single encounter with him, the man had concluded that he possessed real skills. At the same time, the fellow had fairly developed social connections, which might come in useful for him later on.
"All right, get up. I won't claim I can cure your dad's illness, but I'll give it a try."
"Really?! Thank you, Brother Tian! Thank you so much!"
"Enough of that, let's go. Isn't your dad at the hospital? I'll go take a look right now."
"Alright! Brother Tian, please get in the car!"
Su Tian got straight into the vehicle, and the van then sped toward the People's Hospital.
Upon arrival, Su Tian headed straight to a private room in the endocrinology department, where he saw an elderly man lying unconscious on the bed.
The old man was extremely emaciated, his breathing was very faint, and his body was hooked up to all sorts of tubes, looking as though he were on the brink of death.
This made Su Tian's eyes flash. Through the Divine Sense Art, he observed that this old man was indeed done for: his eyes, kidneys, heart, and nerves were all suffering from extremely severe inflammation. If he hadn't come, the fellow probably would have kicked the bucket in a matter of a few hours.
"Brother Tian, do you think my dad can still be saved?"
Jinyuan asked from the side with red eyes. Su Tian didn't speak, merely falling into deep thought as he searched the medical knowledge in his mind.
A moment later, his eyes flashed; he had found a cultivation technique called the Boiling Blood Formula. This technique excelled at conditioning a person's vital energy, blood, and internal organs, and since diabetes was a disease of the internal organ system caused by various factors unbalancing insulin in the body, this technique was just what was needed.
"Get out."
Su Tian said. This made Jinyuan's body shudder, but the next second he decisively nodded and led his gang of blond youths out of the ward.
After they left, Su Tian took a deep breath, channeled the spiritual energy within his body to gather in his hand, and pressed it against the old man's chest.
Hum!
The old man's body jerked, and the computer monitors beside him began to fluctuate rapidly, as if about to sound an alarm.
Yet Su Tian let out a cold snort and vibrated his palm once more. Instantly, an even denser surge of spiritual energy poured out from his body, flooding the old man's internal organs in an instant.
Under the scouring of the spiritual energy, Su Tian observed that the inflammation inside the old man's body was rapidly vanishing, and his withered life force was being swiftly replenished.
The monitors stopped sounding their alarms as well, which made Su Tian nod inwardly.
Three minutes later, Su Tian withdrew his palm and let out a long breath.
At this moment, the condition of the old man on the bed had also changed. Previously, he had looked on the verge of death; now, however, his complexion was rosy, as if he had been given a new lease on life.
"Well, this Boiling Blood Formula is truly powerful. Combined with the spiritual energy in my body, it cured a dying person just like that."
Muttering to himself inwardly, a sharp glint flashed across Su Tian's eyes. At that moment, the old man's eyelids fluttered, as though he was about to wake up.
Seeing this, Su Tian didn't stay any longer and walked straight outside.
"Brother Tian..."
"Go in and take a look. Your dad should be fine now."
Overjoyed, Jinyuan rushed frantically into the ward. Su Tian walked over to a seat in the corridor, sat down, and closed his eyes to rest his mind.
Before long, a burst of emotional crying came from inside the ward. The next moment, the ward door swung open again, and Jinyuan rushed out with his lackeys, dropping heavily to his knees right in front of Su Tian.
"Brother Tian! Your immense kindness is more than I can ever repay. I'll just say this: from this day forward..."
"Enough."
Interrupting Jinyuan, Su Tian said calmly, "There's no need for all that. If you truly want to thank me, just wait for my call in the future. Who knows, there might come a time when I need your help."
"Brother! I will go through fire and water for you!"
"Alright."
Su Tian nodded. "Well, since your father has woken up, you should stay here and keep him company. I'm leaving."
"I'll see Brother Tian back!"
"No need, I just feel like taking a stroll by myself."
Su Tian waved his hand, and Jinyuan pressed the matter no further.
However, after walking only a short distance, Su Tian was stunned. In the neurology section next to the endocrinology department, he had spotted an acquaintance.
And this person was none other than his ex-girlfriend, Liu Qian!
Furthermore, Liu Qian was sitting alongside seven or eight middle-aged men dressed in black suits. Especially the one in the lead—he had a burly build and a fierce gaze, radiating an air of ruthlessness just by sitting there.
"Such a fierce flow of vital energy! Could he be a Hua Jin expert? And his facial features are extremely similar to Shen Hu's. Could he be Shen Hu's father?"
With a stir in his heart, Su Tian looked toward the man, and right at that moment, Liu Qian spotted Su Tian as well.
