Chapter 942: Chapter 939: Zi Yan’s Trouble

But the problem is how to lure that yin energy out? Lin Tian pondered. If yin energy were that easy to guide, the Ghost Valley Inheritor would have cured it long ago.

Zombie blood, Lin Tian thought of a keyword, and suddenly opened his eyes, looking at his outstretched right hand. A thin mist of blood rose from his palm, and then the blood mist condensed into a drop of zombie blood.

This action he was already very familiar with, as he used zombie blood to refine the Crescent Blade every day. Lin Tian discovered that zombie blood, besides being used to refine the Crescent Blade, could also be used this way.

Don’t underestimate this tiny drop of zombie blood, as the energy and Yin Sha Qi contained within it are more than ten times the Yin Sha Qi in the elder’s legs.

Having found a way to resolve the Yin Sha Qi, Lin Tian put away the zombie blood, continued his practice, and then intended to get a good night’s sleep, awaiting the arrival of tomorrow.

The next day, Lin Tian was still dreaming when he heard a knock on the door. He checked the time; it was only eight o’clock. If there was no pressing matter, An Xiaoru wouldn’t come knocking at this hour.

If he guessed right, someone from the Yun Family must have come to visit. Lin Tian turned over, got out of bed, and opened the door. Sure enough, outside were An Xiaoru and another unexpected person—it was Zi Yan.

"Senior Sister, why is it you? I thought it would be Xiao Tian or Housekeeper Wei, never expected it to be you. Don’t you need to stay with Master?" Lin Tian asked curiously.

"Junior Brother, you sure sleep soundly, everyone else is already up, only you are left. Master sent me here; don’t you remember what we need to do this morning?" Zi Yan asked crossly.

"Of course, I haven’t forgotten. The elder’s matter is so important, how could I forget." Lin Tian assured.

Seeing his sleepy face, Zi Yan said incredulously, "Yet I can’t tell, you still seem half-asleep."

"Senior Sister, my condition should make you happy instead." Lin Tian replied with a carefree smile.

Zi Yan rolled her eyes at him and huffed, "Sleeping like a pig, how should that make me happy? I think the Yun Family might cry instead."

"Senior Sister, you’re wrong to say that. If I sleep soundly, what does it indicate? It indicates that I am confident enough to sleep soundly. If you see me all stressed out, that’s when you should worry." Lin Tian smiled, correcting her.

"That makes some sense. So, you are completely confident about curing the elder?" Zi Yan asked skeptically.

"Whether he can walk again or not, I don’t know, but at least I can remove the ticking time bomb in the elder’s legs, ensuring his life is no longer in danger." Lin Tian replied confidently.

Zi Yan’s eyes lit up, and she said happily, "Then what are we waiting for, let’s get going. My Master only went to sleep after four o’clock last night because of this matter. If we solve the elder’s problem, the stone in her heart will finally settle."

"Alright, give me two minutes." Lin Tian made an OK gesture, turned back into his room, and when he reemerged, he was washed and dressed.

Before leaving, Lin Tian told An Xiaoru not to follow, and then he went out with Zi Yan.

"Senior Sister, do you think your Master was so anxious because she had a fling with Mr. Yun when she was younger?" Lin Tian couldn’t help but gossip as he looked at the graceful Zi Yan, who only gave him a roll of her eyes, not bothering to answer.

"Uh, change of topic. Senior Sister, why did you also come to Jinghua City? Is it for the elder’s matter?" Lin Tian asked out of boredom.

Zi Yan shook her head slightly, frowning a bit, and said, "To be honest, I’m not here for the elder’s illness. With my medical skills, coming wouldn’t help either. It’s because my branch in Jinghua City ran into trouble. Visiting the Yun Family was just coincidental. With Master getting old, I am uneasy about leaving her alone."

"Trouble? What kind of trouble?" Lin Tian was taken aback, frowning.

Jinghua City has many high-ranking officials and noble families; could it have offended someone it shouldn’t have? Lin Tian thought to himself.

As the saying goes, you won’t know how lowly your position is until you reach the Imperial Capital. If you randomly throw a stone on the street, you might hit a person of departmental rank. Moreover, in the Imperial Capital, officials rank one level higher. Even a provincial governor, upon arriving in the Imperial Capital, must be courteous to the local section chief or director.

Thus, Lin Tian had the initial thought that Zi Yan’s branch offended someone.

Zi Yan seemed to see through Lin Tian’s thoughts and shook her head, "It’s not what you think. In fact, the high-ranking officials in the Imperial Capital are more low-key than you might imagine because no one knows when they might meet someone they can’t afford to offend. Only those with no sense of their limits would boast about having a village chief dad."

"You make a good point. If it’s not about offending someone, then what is it about?" Lin Tian asked, noticing that Zi Yan seemed quite troubled.

"It’s hard to explain in a few words. We’ll deal with the elder’s issue first." Zi Yan said, looking ahead.

Today, Yunhe Hall was much quieter than yesterday. The loud chatter of renowned doctors was absent, with only Yun Xiaotian waiting at the door.

"Brother Lin, you’re here." Yun Xiaotian came forward, happily greeting.

But Lin Tian could see the underlying anxiety in Yun Xiaotian’s happiness. After seeking out famous doctors for so many years, today there was finally a bit of hope; anxiety was natural.

"Hmm, let’s go in." Lin Tian patted Yun Xiaotian’s shoulder, giving him a calm look, which inexplicably put Yun Xiaotian’s mind at ease.

Inside Yunhe Hall, only Yun Hongxi and his son, Wang Wanxi, and Jiang Xiu Ying were present. None of the other renowned doctors or Yun Family members were there.

"Xiaotian, how confident are you?" Jiang Xiu Ying asked directly upon meeting.

Lin Tian actually liked this straightforward character and replied, "It’s hard to say how confident. My treatment proceeds in two steps. First, we expel the yin energy in the elder’s legs. Second, we use medicine and acupuncture to stimulate the vitality in the elder’s legs, allowing him to walk again."

"I can guarantee that I am more than eighty percent sure of success with the first step. Once the first step is completed, the elder can be permanently freed from the threat of yin energy, and his life will no longer be in danger. As for the second step, restoring the ability to walk will take more effort." Lin Tian explained simply.

Upon hearing Lin Tian’s words, everyone’s eyes lit up. They didn’t care how many steps Lin Tian proceeded in; what mattered was his confidence in removing the yin energy and preserving the elder’s life, which was most important.

"Brother Lin, is what you’re saying true?" Yun Xiaotian watched Lin Tian, asking excitedly.

"I promised to treat the elder’s injury, so of course, I wouldn’t joke about it. But let me be clear, preserving his life is assured. However, for a full recovery, I’ll need to figure out how to do that." Lin Tian said affirmatively.
