The Way of The Dao

Chapter 55 Slap In The Face

?The blood began to flow continuously much more from the old man's mouth.

"Father!"

"You brat! What are you doing?!"

Master Gi roared fiercely as he watched Ling Tian pull out all the silver needles he had put in.

"Shut up! Your voice bothers me..." Ling Tian said indifferently. Ling Tian didn't mind talking that way to a Grand Master Alchemist

They all denied with their heads. Besides ignorant, disrespectful too?

Ling Tian took 10 silver needles while in less than 5 seconds he placed 3 needles in each area of the kidneys and 4 in the region of the liver.

Instantly, the old man stopped spitting out blood. His pale face began to regain some color. His painful expression was even completely relieved, as if he were not suffering from any pain at all.

Everyone was amazed to see the event. Can he really cure the old man?

Even Master Gi was surprised to see that Ling Tian was able to completely stop the bleeding when he was barely able to reduce it using more than 30 silver needles. That can't be true.

As if the heavens heard his question, Ling Tian's voice sounded at the scene.

"Do you think that by putting thousands of needles in him he would stop spitting out blood? Knowing the human body very well, you will know the exact place to put the needle to prevent it from getting worse. What you were doing was just accumulating it for a while and then letting it explode... making it worse..."

Ling Tian had seen that, although Master Gi had knowledge of acupuncture, he still did not know the exact location of the channels, therefore the needles were misplaced. Ling Tian only needed to cover some arteries and acupuncture points to stop the internal bleeding and to stop causing pain to the old man. Just 10 silver needles were enough.

Master Gi's face turned completely red with shame. That a young man is scolding him in front of so many people, how could he show his face afterwards?

"So what? Even so, the old man's condition is still very serious. I've checked it myself! Even my colleague here also knows that he is in a critical situation!" Master Gi spoke, trying to get his face back.

Ling Tian shook his head: "Remember at some point, we are all like frogs in a well. Once you understand that there is a heaven beyond, you will understand that there is even greater knowledge..."

Ling Tian stood up and went over to the boxes where the medicinal plants were.

"Hmph! If you can really cure the old man, I'll admit you're better than me! I'll even give up my title of Great Master Alchemist!" Master Gi spoke with a grind of his teeth.

Ling Tian didn't pay attention to what he was saying.

Ling Tian could give the old man a spiritual pill to regain his Chi and heal the hidden wound in his body at the same time, but he did not do so, so therefore, he decided to make a medicinal liquid. He only had a few pills for his use, he wouldn't use it on just anyone. He was not a naive person.

He quickly took several medicinal herbs, some were the same ones Master Gi had used but he mostly took different ones.

Then, he lit the cauldron. Ling Tian did not want to waste too much time here, so he threw away 3 medicinal herbs as if nothing had happened while quietly controlling the fire and temperature with his spiritual sense by using the force of his sea of knowledge. No one noticed this movement. Obviously, he made them believe that he was manually manipulating the power by using the key that allowed the fire to pass.

At first, everyone expected this young man to have a knowledge in alchemy as well when they saw him take the medicinal plants, but then they were disappointed when they saw him throw away the medicinal plants without order, even 3 at a time.

Master Gi wanted to make fun of Ling Tian for wanting to eat more than he should, thinking that he could refine 3 medicinal plants at the same time.

When people thought he was just a young show-off, they couldn't stop his jaws from dropping.

Ling Tian easily refined the medicinal herbs and in less than a stick of incense, he finished. He took a porcelain bottle and poured the liquid into it.

If Master Gi's medicinal liquid was somewhat transparent with cloudy traces, Ling Tian's refined liquid was totally transparent. Like a clear spring.

"S-S-Spiritual E-E-Elixir!!!" the master alchemist who was at Master Gi's side, exclaimed as he saw the consistency and smelled the fragrance coming out of the porcelain bottle once he had approached and verified the contents.

What!!!

Everyone in the place was in shock!

What did a spiritual elixir mean?

This was beyond the heavenly elixir!

It was very rare to see spiritual elixirs being created!

All the people were stunned when they saw the porcelain bottle containing the spiritual elixir.

Even the two young women were surprised. Was he a Grand Master Alchemist?

Master Gi was perplexed. A brat who just started to grow, can now make spiritual elixirs? That was impossible!

" ..." Ling Tian only looked weakly at people. For him, this was child's play.

Because he used a glimpse of his strength from the sea of knowledge, he added a trace of spiritual power, thus greatly improving the quality of the medicinal liquid.

"Would you admit that I would be better than you if I cured the old man?" A faintly mischievous smile appeared on Ling Tian's face while he was talking to Master Gi.

Master Gi could not respond. His face was stiff.

Heading towards old Dai, Ling Tian walked a few steps and bent down.

He held the back of his head while applying pressure to some areas near his jaw so that he could completely swallow the medicinal liquid and not spit it back out.

Before the old man could swallow the medicinal liquid, Rong Wuyun's voice came: "Little brother, are you sure you want to use this priceless elixir?" Rong Wuyun was somewhat uncomfortable when he saw that this young man had created a spiritual elixir. He knew the price of this spiritual elixir. It was something that only great families could buy. Even though they were an aristocratic family and had the money, they would be ruined if they paid for an elixir of that quality.

Ling Tian stopped his action and turned to him: "So you want me to let your father die?"

Rong Wuyun was puzzled by Ling Tian's question, but he remembered that his father's life was in danger. What good would it do to have money if his father was no longer there? He loved his father very much, so he could not let him die.

Rong Wuyun no longer hesitated and bowed to Ling Tian: "Please save him! I will pay you anything you ask! If I don't have enough money, I'll do whatever you want!"

Ling Tian nodded briefly after a moment while giving the old man his medication.

While he was at it, he quietly sent a tiny bit of his immortal strength through the silver needles so that the medicine would take effect more quickly and heal the damage hidden in his body.

The medicinal fluid would cure the deficiencies in his kidneys and liver, while at the same time it would heal the hidden wound he had.

Not a minute passed when old Dai slowly opened his eyes in everyone's presence.
