Chapter 29: Chapter 29: I Won’t Save Her

Yan Rufeng and the woman were brought by Elder Song to the back hall of Zhongyuan Hall, where a room was specially prepared for treating patients.

Elder Song took out the silver needle and placed it next to Yan Rufeng.

"Young man, I warn you again, if you can’t cure this lady today, get ready to go to jail."

"Rubbish."

Yan Rufeng picked up the silver needle, glanced at Elder Song, "Old man, open your eyes wide and watch how I cure this aunty."

The woman sat upright on the sickbed, and Yan Rufeng had to let the woman take off her clothes to treat her.

Five minutes passed, and the woman had sixteen needles inserted in total, seven on her front forming the Big Dipper pattern, and nine on her back forming the Nine Star pattern.

Although the number of needles was few, each time a needle was inserted, Yan Rufeng infused it with Spiritual Energy. The amount of Spiritual Energy used in just sixteen needles was enough to open the governor and conception vessels in Su Moran and even directly elevate her cultivation to the Second Level of Qi Refining.

After removing the needles, the already heavily depleted Spiritual Energy within Yan Rufeng’s body was even more seriously depleted. To save the person, he could only keep consuming his limited Spiritual Energy.

Elder Song looked at the somewhat fatigued Yan Rufeng, then came to the woman’s side and took her pulse.

"Strange, the pulse is stable and strong, completely unlike that of someone who has been chronically ill. Could this young man have cured her old affliction just like that?"

In his doubts, Elder Song couldn’t understand how Yan Rufeng managed to cure the woman’s years-long complicated illness.

"Young man, why is it that after you used the needles, this lady is not only fine but her old affliction disappeared?"

"Haha!"

"Even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand!"

Yan Rufeng scolded Elder Song, but instead of getting angry, Elder Song humbly asked for advice.

"Indeed, I don’t understand. Could you please explain, otherwise I won’t be able to sleep tonight!"

"Elder Song, from what you say, is my illness cured?" The woman couldn’t help but butt in.

Elder Song, only thinking about how Yan Rufeng cured the woman’s illness, felt a bit impatient with the woman’s words.

"Yes, yes, miss, if you’re fine, then you should leave quickly!"

"Elder Song, this young man cured my illness, I haven’t paid him yet," the woman said seriously.

Yan Rufeng smiled faintly, "Aunty, the money has already been paid by Elder Song. Now that your illness is cured, you can go home and celebrate."

Unexpectedly, the woman knelt down to express her gratitude at this moment, and Yan Rufeng quickly helped her up.

"Aunty, you mustn’t, you mustn’t!"

After persuading the woman to leave, Yan Rufeng said to Elder Song, "Are you going to renege on your debt?"

Elder Song, of course, knew what Yan Rufeng meant.

"Brother, leave your contact information and address. I’ll have someone deliver the goods to you this afternoon."

Yan Rufeng wrote down his full name.

Seeing the name "Yan Rufeng," Elder Song suddenly stood in awe.

"Mr. Yan from the Treasure Pavilion, not only a Jade Sculpture Master but also such a brilliant doctor, I am deeply honored!"

"Haha."

Yan Rufeng’s lips curled up in a faint smile, "I didn’t expect I would be quite famous."

"Of course, the name Mr. Yan is known all over Zhongzhou, even a three-year-old could speak it." Elder Song said respectfully.

Yan Rufeng disdained to listen, "Speak up, do you have some incurable disease here that you need help with?"

Although Elder Song had spoken so much, before he could say anything, Yan Rufeng had already seen through it, and Elder Song’s old face immediately turned bright red.

"To be honest, a daughter of an old friend of mine has been having unstable mental states for unknown reasons. She has been treated here several times but without improvement."

"Mental problems, one needle is enough."

Staring at Yan Rufeng with a bit of surprise, Elder Song said, "One needle, how is that possible? I have given her countless needles, yet none have shown effect."

Then Elder Song thought about how he managed to cure the woman’s illness and felt relieved.

"Mr. Yan, please wait a moment, I’ll call the patient here."

Elder Song served him with the best tobacco and tea, and not long after, Yan Rufeng saw a familiar figure walking in.

Seeing the somewhat foolish Chen Wanqiu, Yan Rufeng’s expression changed.

"Elder Song, I’m sorry, but I can’t treat this patient’s illness."

Not understanding, Elder Song asked, why Yan Rufeng, who had just claimed that mental illness could be cured with one needle, now said he couldn’t treat this one. The next scene soon revealed the reason why Yan Rufeng wouldn’t treat the patient.

The one who brought Chen Wanqiu for treatment was her father, Chen Luo. Upon seeing Yan Rufeng, Chen Luo was startled first, "Isn’t this Xiao Feng? How can the young miraculous doctor Elder Brother Song mentioned be him?"

When Yan Rufeng refused to treat Chen Wanqiu, Chen Luo knew it was because his daughter had hurt Yan Rufeng before.

"Xiao Feng, I know Qiu’er was in the wrong, and now she is like this. Considering my longstanding friendship with your father, can you treat her?"

At the mention of his father, Yan Rufeng’s gaze softened. If he refused to treat Chen Wanqiu today, Chen Luo would certainly call his father to plead. By then his father would exert pressure on him, forcing him to treat Chen Wanqiu.

"Haha!"

At this moment, Chen Wanqiu, while giggling foolishly, tugged at Yan Rufeng’s sleeve, "Little brother, am I pretty? Will you love me? If you love me, then marry me?"

"Haha..."

Yan Rufeng glanced at the deranged Chen Wanqiu and felt a pang of sympathy. After all, he had once deeply loved Chen Wanqiu. Despite his lingering hatred, witnessing her condition now, his resentment vanished.

"Alright, I will save her this one time."

Yan Rufeng took the silver needle and aimed it at Chen Wanqiu’s Bai Hui acupoint. Spiritual Energy flowed through the silver needle from her Bai Hui acupoint, instantly moving through her extraordinary meridians, unblocking the obstructed channels. Chen Wanqiu gradually returned to normal.

"Yan Rufeng, why are you here?"

Chen Luo then angrily reprimanded, "Qiu’er, he is the one who cured your illness."

Chen Wanqiu’s face turned cold, and she disdainfully looked at Yan Rufeng.

"So what? Do you want me, Chen Wanqiu, to kneel and thank him, Yan Rufeng? Even if a poor kid like him achieves some success, how can he compare with Zhang Mingdong?"

"I’ve long expected this outcome. Chen Wanqiu, from now on, we go our separate ways. Take care."

After curing her, instead of expressing gratitude, Chen Wanqiu remained as contemptuous as ever towards Yan Rufeng.

Chen Luo, feeling deeply embarrassed, realized that at some point, Yan Rufeng had already left Zhongyuan Hall.

"Qiu’er, why do you speak to Xiao Feng this way?"

Chen Luo angrily questioned Chen Wanqiu.

"Father, don’t forget, it was you and Mom who brought me together with Zhang Mingdong. Now what’s the point of blaming me for the way I talk to him?"

Chen Wanqiu choked back her tears, and Chen Luo didn’t say more. After bidding farewell to Elder Song, he took Chen Wanqiu and left Zhongyuan Hall.

After recovering, Chen Wanqiu went straight to the hospital to visit the crippled Zhang Mingdong.

Learning that Chen Wanqiu’s illness was cured by Elder Song at Zhongyuan Hall, Zhang Mingdong’s father had a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"My son Mingdong has become a cripple. Why not have Elder Song take a look? Maybe there is a solution in traditional Chinese medicine."

Following Yan Rufeng’s requirements, Elder Song delivered the medicinal herbs to Ziya Biology’s warehouse on time.

Upon receiving the message, Yan Rufeng immediately rushed to refine the Youthful Pill. After refining nearly ten thousand Youthful Pills, Yan Rufeng’s Dantian was left with just enough Spiritual Energy to maintain the normal operation of the "Five Elements Qiankun Cultivation God Art."

Consuming so much of his inner Spiritual Energy, Yan Rufeng would be in grave danger should a threat arise. However, the urgent construction at Wolong Abyss demanded a fortune, requiring him to press on desperately...
