Chapter 1190
(Unedited)
…
While the two are talking outside, the medical master inside the carriage is actually observing them. When he saw what the young man did to the guard, he was a bit astonished in his heart. He has been serving as the medical master of General Zhang and his family for many years and he has learned and heard many types of medical skills, but it is the first time that he saw such a medical technique.
From what he could tell the young man truly has a unique technique. Plus he actually has a healing potion. And the way he uses the potion is a bit weird too.
And so, while the two are talking, he suddenly jumps down the carriage and then quickly approaches.
When he heard the boy saying that he is actually a medical master, the old man almost did not agree because of his look and age. But he suddenly remembers that there is a piece of news that a young medical genius appears in the medical field while the war is happening.
So he curbs his comments to himself and quickly approached the two.
"You… who are you?" the old medical master asked while approaching Xin Ja.
Xin Ja looks at the old man and then nodded his head.
"Medical master Ran… This is my little friend… he…" the guard wanted to tell about Xin Ja\'s medical expertise but he was suddenly cut off by the old man.
"I know… Little boy, do you still have healing potions? I promise to pay you no matter how much… I need it to save the little miss…" the old man said with a hint of worry in his white brows.
Xin Ja could not help but show a faint smile on his face.
"Hmm… Even if you use as many healing potions, you will not be able to help her. If… if you could trust me, I can actually help her…" Xin Ja suddenly said.
The expression of the old man turned serious. He is worried that the brat might be a spy of the enemy and it would pose a threat to the young miss. But he could also sense that the brat is only at level 1, so he feels a bit assured.
However, he could not decide on this so he has to ask the madam.
…
The carriage has stopped on the roadside and Xin Ja is inside checking the pulse of the weak little girl.
He could tell that the girl is very pretty but she is currently very thin and looks malnourished.
After a few minutes of checking the little girl\'s pulse, Xin Ja could already tell what is happening in her body. He could see why the potions actually do not work.
He grabs his dirty bag and secretly takes out a box of silver needles from his ring. He then put the box on the side while showing a faint smile on the little girl.
"Hello, little girl… I will help you cure the illness in your body, okay?" Xin Ja said as he wanted to calm the little girl down.
"Nowhere is what I am going to do… We will play a game… you close your eyes and then count to ten… okay?" Xin Ja said.
The little girl nodded her head and closes her eyes, then her mouth began counting but no words would come out.
Xin Ja just showed a faint smile as he quickly inserted two acupuncture needles on her stomach as she is lying flat while her head is resting on her mother\'s leg.
The madam has agreed to let Xin Ja test out his medical skill. They have no other choice but to give their hope to the young boy as he promises with his life to help the little kid.
After ten needles are inserted into the body of the young girl, she suddenly stopped moving and actually slept.
The mother was a bit worried when her daughter did not wake up, so was about to panic. The medical master also panicked… however, his sharp observation skill made him notice the calm breathing of the little girl.
"Madam calm down… Xi\'er is fine… she is just sleeping. I think she was too tired…" the old medical master said.
Upon hearing this, the mother turned silent and looks at Xin Ja with a pleading expression.
"Relax, I just anesthetized her… she would be feeling anything so that she would not suffer… okay." Xin Ja said as he began to check the body of the little girl.
"Alright, let me explain what I am going to do next. There is actually poison in her body and the poison does not corrode any of her organs, but instead… it eats up her energy. And this type of poison is actually a living organism, a parasite…" Xin Ja explained.
The people inside the carriage turned silent and their expression is full of bewilderment.
Suddenly, the old medical master\'s expression turned pale.
"Wait a minute… Do you mean… a… a Gu?"
When the madam heard this, she became confused. She has not heard of such a thing or a disease.
"Madam Zhang… a Gu is… is a poisonous creature or small bugs that enter the body. They then do a lot of damage inside a patient\'s body and are very hard to detect…"
When Madam Zhang heard this, she almost fainted. How could she accept such a notion? She did not know what a weird creature is actually inside her daughter\'s body and it is the one making her weak. If not for the young medical master, then she would have lost her daughter without her knowing the reason why.
"Young man… can… can you help my daughter? Please… please, save her." She pleaded.
"Yes, that is the reason why I am explaining this to you. Your daughter will be trembling for a while, but I assure you that she will not lose her life, I just don\'t want you to panic and just hold her down… okay?" Xin Ja explained.
Madam Zhang nodded her head, but tears are already welling in her eyes.
"Old Master… Please, assist me… I need you to apply your Ki in the needles on my command." Xin Ja said.
The old medical master nodded his head.
Xin Ja carefully inserted a series of needles on the abdominal part of the small girl. Then he inserted some more on her neck and chest.
"Ready?" he asked.
The old medical master nodded his head. Madam Zhang also nodded her head.
Xin Ja suddenly takes out a small sharp knife from somewhere and then held it in his right hand.
The eyes of the two suddenly went wide in anxiousness.
"Concentrate! Do not be distracted… trust me…" Xin Ja said with a stern voice.
He pointed at a couple of needles on the stomach part and the old man nodded his head. But he could not help but still worry. However, his worry was interrupted by Xin Ja\'s words.
"Old man now! Do it now!" Xin Ja commanded.
Without hesitation, the old man applied his Ki on the needles. When this happens the Gu inside the stomach of the young girl was jolted in awakening. It felt its body being attacked and it wanted to move. But its body is already trapped in an array inside the stomach.
The little girl\'s body suddenly began to twitch.
Madam Zhang quickly held her daughter down, as the silver needles came out of her body.
Then without hesitation, Xin Ja grabs the knife and quickly made an incision on the young girl\'s stomach. Then without hesitation, he covered his hand with thin Ki and grabs the twisting Gu from inside.
The Gu is already the size of a thumb.
When Xin Ja takes it out, it is still wriggling in pain.
Xin Ja did not hesitate to squish it using his Ki-covered finger and a pungent smell spread from its body.
When its blood landed on the floor, one could see smoke rising. It means that the Gu is actually acidic and poisonous.
When it was taken out and killed, Xin Ja heard a faint scream from it.
This made him smirk as he knew what happened to the person controlling the Gu.
Using you\'re a part of your spirit on a Gu is actually very efficient to cultivate Ki… as that person could just absorb the vitality of the infected one. However, once the Gu is forcefully killed then that person would suffer painfully as it means part of his spirit\'s energy was destroyed and the pain would return to his body ten folds.
"What a stupid decision…" Xin Ja thought.
He then quickly healed the stomach of the little girl from inside using potions. He then closes the wound using drops of healing potion.
When the operation ended, he showed a faint smile and looks at the ruddy flesh that is slowly returning to the little girl.
When Madam Zhang saw the complexion of her daughter, she knew that her sickness is actually healed.
She could not help but shed tears of joy as she hugs her daughter.
However, the old medical master is looking at Xin Ja with a weird expression on his face.
