Chapter 205: Killing the Gu Insect

Translator:?Sparrow Translations??Editor:?Sparrow Translations

When Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu, who were in front, heard Ling Yun and Yao Rou’s hot and bold conversation, they couldn’t help but tremble simultaneously, especially Tang Meng. He thought to himself.?No wonder Boss criticized me so brutally that day. Who knew that they’ve already reached this stage?

If Tang Meng had known that Yao Rou had already stripped completely in front of Ling Yun and let Ling Yun touch her as he pleased, who knows what Tang Meng would have thought?

Because it was in broad daylight, Ling Yun only got intimate with Yao Rou for a while before placing her back at the side. He did not do too much to Yao Rou’s body.

He took out his medical practitioner certificate and passed it to Yao Rou as he said, “Take a look at this certificate.”

Yao Rou took a look at it and was stunned. Her hands trembled as she said, “This…this certificate can be used anywhere in the country! This…this is great! Where did you get it?!”

It could be used anywhere in the country, which also meant that, as long as Ling Yun had this certificate, no matter where Ling Yun opened his clinic in the country, he would be unimpeded.

Miracle Doctor Xue was really extraordinary at handling things. With just one call, he had managed to obtain such a f*cking awesome document.

When Ling Yun heard Yao Rou’s words, he couldn’t help but be grateful to Miracle Doctor Xue.?It looks like Old Man Xue is really good to me!

He chuckled and replied, “Of course I got someone to help me with it. Now that I have this, what’s the next step?”

Yao Rou held that certificate like she was holding her baby as she smiled sweetly at Ling Yun. “We’ve been looking for places the whole morning and we’re waiting for you to choose!”

Tang Meng turned around and added, “Boss, we’ve found a total of four or five locations. Shall we bring you around for a look?”

When Ling Yun heard Tang Meng call him ‘Boss’ again, he furrowed his brows. “Didn’t I tell you not to call me ‘Boss’ anymore? This better not happen again!”

Tie Xiaohu saw that Tang Meng had been met with a sharp rebuff and he couldn’t help but laugh.

Ling Yun coughed gently, then said, “I don’t have time to wander around with you guys. Just give me a brief description of each location first. I’ll listen.”

Tang Meng gave a short description of each location to Ling Yun. After listening, Ling Yun was silent for a while. Then, he said to Tang Meng, “Just now, you said that there’s a place very near Qingshui City Hall and Qingxi Number One Villa? Let’s go to that one first!”

Tang Meng responded. He took a right turn at the intersection in front and accelerated towards Qingxi Villa District.

Ten minutes later, the Hummer reached a busy intersection. Tang Meng stopped at the Northeast corner of the intersection.

“Boss, this is the shop!”

Tang Meng pointed at a rather large shop.

Ling Yun didn’t look at the shop but asked Tang Meng directly, “What’s the approximate distance from Qingshui City Hall?”

Tang Meng replied without having to think, “Around three kilometers.”

“What about Qingshui City’s Antique Market?”

“Less than four kilometers!”

Ling Yun calculated in his mind. The journey to the Qingxi Villa District’s Fourth District Number One Villa was less than three kilometers. To him, if he were to go back at night, it wouldn’t even take two minutes.

Ling Yun raised his head and smiled. “No need to look at the other locations. This is the best. Is this shop for sale or for rent?”

Tang Meng had inquired about this already. He replied swiftly, “Brother Yun, they want to sell this shop. They’re going elsewhere to do their business.”

Ling Yun smiled in reply, “That’s perfect. Then we’ll buy it. Let’s go inside for a look!”

That shop was a clothes shop of around 200 square meters in area. There were two floors in total and the shop had already stopped running for a few days. The shop manager and assistants had also left already and only the boss was left inside, waiting to sell off the property.

Besides a box of clothes in the corner which hadn’t managed to be sold, the shop was completely empty.

Ling Yun found this shop to his taste right after entering it. He gave Tang Meng a look.

Tang Meng smiled at the shop owner who had come forward to welcome them. “Boss, we’re back. How much would it cost for this shop?”

The shop owner was from Northern China. He looked around forty and he seemed frank and straightforward but his complexion looked a little wan and sallow. When he saw that Tang Meng and the rest had come back, he said with a smile, “My shop has a total of four hundred and eighteen square meters and its location along the road couldn’t be better. $30,000 per square meter, I don’t think that’s too much to ask, is it?”

Tang Meng knew that this boss’s offer was quite fair. However, of course, he couldn’t just buy it without negotiating.

He smiled and said, “Boss, I have to admit that your shop’s location and decoration are pretty good but you’re selling a second-hand property. With that price, it probably isn’t easy to sell it, is it?”

Asking for a sky-high price was a normal thing to do. Hence, the boss smiled back and said, “Younger Brother, then why don’t you state a price?”

Tang Meng pondered for a moment and was about to speak but then Ling Yun suddenly said to the shop owner, “May I know your name, Boss?”

That shop owner looked at Ling Yun as he thought.?This youngster really looks talented.?He had a good feeling about Ling Yun. He replied, “My name is Wang.”

Ling Yun smiled and nodded. He closely sized up the shop owner’s expression, then said, “Boss Wang, this is such a good location and such a big business. Why are you moving away all of a sudden?”

Boss Wang’s expression suddenly darkened. He remained silent for a moment before saying, “Er… It’s mainly because I’ve been out here for too long and I want to go back to my old home…”

Ling Yun smiled as he shook his head. “Could it be that there’s something that’s hard to mention, Boss Wang? I see that your complexion is pale and yellow. Your footsteps are unstable, your tongue is greenish and the area between your brows is dark. Could it be that you’ve gotten some sort of…”

At that point, Ling Yun deliberately stopped and didn’t continue further.

When Boss Wang heard that, his expression changed drastically. He hastily said to Ling Yun, “Younger Brother, how…how could you tell? Are you able to diagnose illnesses?”

Ling Yun smiled thinly. “You don’t need to know how I could tell. I’m not just able to tell. I can even treat you back to health!”

When Boss Wang heard that, he was stunned like a wooden bird!

When Tang Meng, Tie Xiaohu, and Yao Rou heard Ling Yun’s words, they stared at the shop owner closely. However, besides seeing that Boss Wang’s face was a little pale, they couldn’t see any of the other symptoms.

Boss Wang only regained his senses after a long while. He looked around him before saying to Ling Yun, “Younger Brother, could we speak in private?”

Ling Yun nodded gently.

Boss Wang took one more look at Ling Yun before walking upstairs. Ling Yun said to the three people behind him, “Wait for me here!”

Boss Wang and Ling Yun went up the stairs together before Boss Wang lowered his voice and whispered to Ling Yun, “Younger Brother, could you really tell what kind of illness I have?”

Ling Yun laughed and replied casually, “Of course. Someone used a Gu Insect on you. That person wants to take your life.”

When he saw Boss Wang’s look of shock, he continued, “Every night, around midnight, do you feel a sharp pain in your abdomen that causes you to be unable to sleep? Have you been vomiting everything you’ve eaten recently? And you even have to vomit out your bile when you drink water, don’t you?”

After hearing that, Boss Wang’s eyes were filled with both astonishment and joy. Suddenly, he bowed his head to Ling Yun. “Please save my life, Younger Brother. If you are willing to save me, you’d be my, Wang Hong Yuan’s, savior. We don’t even have to talk about this shop. I’ll give you everything I have as long as you want it!”

When Ling Yun saw that he had kneeled down, he stepped to the side. He wouldn’t accept this worship. Then, Ling Yun pulled him up.

“Boss Wang, I won’t hide anything from you. I really want to buy this shop. I’m going to buy it to open a clinic to treat illnesses and save lives. Of course, I can’t ask for your shop for free. I’m just short on money right now, so I want to ask you to please lower the price.”

Wang Hong Yuan had been poisoned with Gu poison by his competitor and he had already been in a gloomy mood. He had been about to sell his property and wait for death back in his old home but now, he was hearing that he could be saved. Of course, he wouldn’t care about money. He quickly said, “Younger Brother, I can’t accept that. I know that my life already can’t be guaranteed. If you save me, how could I still dare to accept your money?”

Ling Yun said calmly, “Tell me what exactly is going on first.”

Wang Hong Yuan said hastily, “Younger Brother, I’ve been running my clothing business here for a decade already. It had been smooth all along and my business had been getting better. But last year, another clothing shop opened at the Southwest corner of the intersection, opposite my shop. I heard that it was opened by Xiangxi people. As the saying goes, people in the same industry are enemies, so we started competing.”

“Younger Brother, I’m not boasting but when it comes to business, I really won’t lose to anyone. After half a year, their shop couldn’t win against me and they were about to have to close down when I suddenly realized that I had an illness.”

“My symptoms weren’t obvious at first. I just had mild stomach aches at night and sometimes, I would puke out my food after eating. But because I was busy working, I didn’t care about it much. But a week ago, my symptoms worsened and it’s really like you said. At night, my stomach hurts very badly and I puke out whatever I eat. The strange thing is that I haven’t gotten any skinnier!”

“I thought that I’ve contracted some kind of incurable disease. I went to the hospital for a check-up but no matter what I did and whatever technology they used, the doctors would say that I was not sick!”

“Eventually, I looked for a Chinese doctor. I met an old Chinese doctor who told me that I’ve been poisoned using sorcery. He said that only the person who poisoned me or someone even more skillful can cure me. I immediately knew that those Xiangxi people had poisoned me because they couldn’t win me!”

“If I have to find someone to cure me, where would I look? Eventually, I really couldn’t stand the pain any longer, so I went to their shop to beg for mercy. But no matter what I said, they said that they didn’t know what I was talking about. Helpless, I could only acknowledge my fate. So, I closed my shop and prepared to sell my shop and go back to my old home to await death. It was also to save my wife and children…”

Ling Yun had heard enough. He went to the second-floor window and gestured to the Southwest corner clothing shop using his chin. Then, he smiled and said, “Is that the shop?”

Wang Hong Yuan was like a frightened bird right now. He didn’t dare to go to the window and he just nodded fearfully.

Ling Yun chuckled and looked at the clothing shop disdainfully. Then, he said to Wang Hong Yuan, “Alright. I’ll start saving you right now!”

“Huh?!” Wang Hong Yuan hadn’t expected Ling Yun to be able to do it at once.Doesn’t he need to prepare anything?

Ling Yun casually took his leather needle bag and took out nine golden needles at once.

“Boss Wang, find a place to sit down!”

Wang Hong Yuan stared wide-eyed at Ling Yun’s nine golden needles and nodded blankly. Then, he found a stool and sat down.

Ling Yun said, “Don’t be afraid. You will be fine in around ten minutes!”

After that, Ling Yun told Boss Wang to take off his clothes and Ling Yun started performing the Nine Needles of The Spiritual Pivot on Boss Wang’s acupuncture points around his lower abdomen and stomach region.

After it was complete, Boss Wang instantly spat out two mouthfuls of dark blood. Ling Yun’s eyes were sharp. He saw that, inside the blood, there were two one-centimeter long, blood-colored, thread-like worms wriggling about. It looked very disgusting!

“Boss Wang, do you see that? These two blood-colored worms were meddling inside your body!”

When Wang Hong Yuan saw those two wriggling worms, he immediately turned away in disgust as he started vomiting violently.

Ling Yun chuckled and didn’t bother about it. He took out two big silver needles from the leather bag and casually threw them at the marble floor!

*Pu pu!* With that, the needles had struck the blood-colored worms’ heads and they sunk into the marble floor. Even the ends of the needles weren’t visible anymore.

The two blood-colored Gu Insects had been pinned down by Ling Yun. They continued struggling and wriggling about on the marble floor for two whole minutes before they stopped completely and died!

At the same time, on the second floor of the Xiangxi people’s clothing shop, a skinny sixty-year-old man appeared horrified. His body suddenly trembled. With a “Uwah” sound, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood!

“It’s bad. That Wang has found an expert and they’ve killed my Gu insect!”

He seemed to have taken a pretty big impact!

Ling Yun kept the leather pouch and smiled coldly.?These Gu Insects are not even close to the one that was in Miracle Doctor Xue’s body!

When Ling Yun had been at Physique Tempering Stage Level One, he had already been able to seal the Gu Insect that Miao Fenghuang had planted in Miracle Doctor Xue’s body. Right now, he was already at the peak of Level Three of the Physique Tempering Stage!

“Boss Wang, how do you feel now?”

Ling Yun seemed as if he hadn’t done anything at all. He spoke casually and leisurely to Wang Hong Yuan who was still puking profusely.

Wang Hong Yuan didn’t have much in his stomach in the first place. After puking for a long time, he hadn’t puked out much. But at that moment, he felt an incomparable hunger. Of course, he knew that he had recovered!

Wang Hong Yuan didn’t even stand up from the stool. He slipped onto the ground and bowed down to Ling Yun!

Of course, Ling Yun couldn’t let Wang Hong Yuan bow down to him. Ling Yun used one hand to gently help him back up onto the stool.

“Boss Wang, this matter isn’t over yet. What’s the hurry?”

Then, Ling Yun shouted downstairs, “Tang Meng, Little Rou, come up! Tie Xiaohu, guard the door and get ready for a fight!”
