"Xiao Xiao!!"
Seeing this scene, Ni Qingyao panicked instantly and quickly came to Yang Xiao's side, gently shaking her twice. Finding no response but only rapid breathing, she anxiously said to Yang Chen, "Xiao Chen, call 120 quickly, your sister's condition has relapsed!"
However, Yang Chen did not make the call. Instead, he quickly went to the bedside and said, "Stepmom, let me check on my sister."
"You know medicine?"
Ni Qingyao was stunned, looking at Yang Chen with eyes full of surprise.
"Yes, when I was in the village, I learned traditional Chinese medicine from Grandpa, maybe I can help my sister."
While explaining, Yang Chen's fingers had already fallen onto Yang Xiao's fair and slender wrist, carefully feeling her pulse.
Originally, when Ni Qingyao heard the words 'traditional Chinese medicine,' she wanted to refuse Yang Chen. Ever since Yang Xiao fell ill, she had sought many treatments, including some so-called 'miracle doctors' of traditional Chinese medicine, but to no avail.
And Yang Chen, being so young, probably just started learning Chinese medicine, how could he cure such a severe illness?
"Sister has lung cancer??"
A moment later, Yang Chen looked at Ni Qingyao with a face full of shock.
"How do you know?"
Ni Qingyao's heart skipped a beat, her eyes full of shock. She clearly remembered that she never mentioned what illness Yang Xiao had.
Could it be Rou Er told Yang Chen?
However, Yang Chen said, "No one told me; I just diagnosed it from the pulse check just now. Stepmom, you don't need to worry. Sister's fainting is due to emotional excitement, which caused a rush of blood and difficulty breathing. I can treat it!!"
Before Ni Qingyao could speak, Yang Chen silently operated the "Dragon and Phoenix Dance Technique," immediately filling his palm with traces of True Qi. He quickly placed his hand on Yang Xiao's lung area, clicked on a few acupoints, and then injected the True Qi into her body.
The warm True Qi surged in, quickly repairing Yang Xiao's body!
Soon, under the nourishment of True Qi, Yang Xiao's complexion became rosy, and her rapid breathing gradually stabilized.
"Is it that simple?"
Seeing her daughter's condition stabilize, Ni Qingyao was slightly stunned, her face full of shock.
Previously, when her daughter's condition relapsed, it took a group of doctors a long time in the hospital to stabilize her. Yet, Yang Chen just casually tapped a few points on her body, and her condition stabilized. This was too miraculous?
"It's not that easy; I just stabilized my sister's condition for now. I am powerless to completely cure her lung cancer at the moment."
Yang Chen withdrew his True Qi, wearing a wry smile.
Although he became a cultivator last night, he was only a beginner and had no ability to cure such serious cancer.
"Will you have a way to cure it in the future?"
Ni Qingyao seemed to see a ray of hope, asking with a face full of anticipation.
"Yes!"
On this matter, Yang Chen did not hide anything from his stepmom. Cautiously, he said, "Grandpa left me a medical book that contains a lot of medical techniques, including some for treating cancer. If I learn it, I can definitely cure my sister."
"But can your sister hold out until then?"
Ni Qingyao sighed, a bit despairingly.
"She can." Yang Chen replied confidently, "Although I cannot completely cure my sister right now, I have a way to prevent her condition from relapsing and from getting worse."
"Really?"
"How could I deceive my stepmom on such matters?"
Seeing Yang Chen so serious, Ni Qingyao gradually calmed down her anxious heart. At first, she indeed didn't believe Yang Chen, but when seeing her daughter's condition stabilize after Yang Chen tapped a few acupoints, she suddenly had a strong premonition.
Perhaps, Yang Chen could indeed bring a miracle!
"Stepmom, let's go out for a while and let my sister rest."
Yang Chen stood up and said to Ni Qingyao.
"Okay!" Ni Qingyao nodded heavily.
...
Although the house was a small three-bedroom, one of the bedrooms was very tiny, and Ni Qingyao had used it as a storage room. Though it was cleaned up, the space was very cramped. She led Yang Chen to the room and said, "Xiao Chen, this room is a bit small; you'll have to bear with it for now."
"Not at all; it's already great!"
Yang Chen didn't mind at all. Back in the countryside, he even slept in haystacks; having a bed now, he was quite content.
Moreover, it was a soft Simmons mattress, with brand new bedding, showing that his stepmom put a lot of thought into it.
"Alright then, you rest first. I'll head out; call me if you need anything!"
After saying this, Ni Qingyao turned and left.
Earlier, treating Yang Rou consumed a lot of True Qi, so Yang Chen quickly sat on the bed to operate the cultivation technique and restore his energy.
About half an hour later, Yang Chen slowly opened his eyes. Having regained his energy, he immediately took out the medical book left by his grandfather.
The medical book was called the "Tome of the Ghost Doctor"!
When his grandfather handed this book to him, he said it recorded many medical techniques. If mastered, one could become the greatest miracle doctor in the world.
Back then, Yang Chen thought his grandfather was exaggerating, but after becoming a cultivator and reading the book again, he realized everything his grandfather said was true.
The medical skills inside were powerful!
And there were techniques for treating any disease, so there should be a method for treating lung cancer as well.
"Found it!!"
After browsing for a moment, Yang Chen found a method to treat lung cancer. There was a medicine pill called 'Divine Essence Elixir' that could cure lung cancer, regardless of whether it was early or late stage.
However, after looking at the refining process of the Divine Essence Elixir, he was stunned.
To refine a small Divine Essence Elixir, over a hundred kinds of herbs were needed. Aside from the more than ninety common herbs, it also required over a dozen extremely precious herbs. In addition to these, a Thousand-Year Ginseng was needed as a medicinal guide.
"Crap!!"
Yang Chen was completely dumbfounded. His grandfather had told him before that Thousand-Year Ginseng was a supremely rare herb that couldn't be bought even if one wanted to. In the current market, all that circulated were Hundred-Year Ginseng, and many were fakes.
In the vast land of Hua Xia, a Thousand-Year Ginseng had only appeared a handful of times.
Yang Chen frustratedly ruffled his hair. Currently, he was penniless and couldn't even pay off his father's debts, let alone purchase a Thousand-Year Ginseng.
Moreover, besides the problem of the Thousand-Year Ginseng, there is another issue.
It requires a cultivator at the fifth level of the Qi Refining stage to refine the Divine Essence Elixir.
The stages of cultivation are: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core Realm, Nascent Soul Realm, Integration Realm, Tribulation Transcendence Realm...
Each stage is divided into nine smaller levels.
Currently, Yang Chen is at the first level of the Qi Refining stage.
Regarding cultivation level, Yang Chen wasn't worried; unlike normal cultivators, he could rapidly improve as long as he had enough Yin energy. This made him instantly consider becoming a gigolo!!
This job could not only earn him money, but also allow him to combine with many women to enhance his realm.
"It seems I need to mention the gigolo thing to my stepmom."
After making up his mind, Yang Chen got up and left the room.
When he reached the door of his stepmom's room, Yang Chen was about to knock when he noticed the door wasn't locked and there was a gap. When he looked inside through the gap, he was stunned on the spot.
His stepmom wasn't wearing clothes…
