475: Chapter 475 I Owe You a Life 475: Chapter 475 I Owe You a Life In the side yard of the Yang family’s quadrangle, under an old locust tree, there was a little table and chairs made of jade stone, which made for a pleasant spot to cool off in the heat.
The stone table even had a chessboard carved into it, evidently a place where the elder Mr.
Yang entertained friends.
Right now, under the locust tree, Tangyu, Yang Xiaoyu, and Feng Chen stood, with Feng Chen wearing a cold expression, but his eyes flickered with a fierceness that was intimidating.
“Tangyu, I, Feng Chen, have never begged anyone in my life.
Today, I’m begging you to treat my dad’s legs.
As long as you can heal him, you can name any condition.
I have immense respect for your principles and beliefs, but I ask that you make an exception this once,” Feng Chen said with utmost earnestness and solemnity, but his tone carried an authoritative weight that was hard to resist.
Tangyu looked at Feng Chen and shook his head, “I won’t make any conditions, and I don’t want to.
Whatever I had to say, I’ve already said it.”
“Brother Yu, I really don’t understand,” said Yang Xiaoyu, sincere and warm-hearted in his dealings with people, and at this moment, he was particularly anxious, almost desperate to convince Tangyu to act.
“Some things don’t need to be understood,” replied Tangyu.
There was a slight motion in Feng Chen’s hand, and suddenly he pulled out a gun.
Upon seeing Feng Chen draw the gun, Yang Xiaoyu immediately stepped in front of Tangyu and said, “Feng Chen, what are you doing?
Don’t be reckless!”
The gun in Feng Chen’s hand wasn’t pointed at Tangyu but at his own head.
He looked at Tangyu and said, “As long as you agree to treat my dad, you can take my life.” Feng Chen’s face was one of desperation and madness at this moment.
“Feng Chen, what are you doing?
Put the gun down,” Yang Xiaoyu was panicking, tears nearly welling up in his eyes, as he turned to look at Tangyu and said, “Brother Yu, I’m begging you too.”
“What do I need your life for?
Murder is against the law, and I am a law-abiding good citizen.
Doing illegal things is not right,” said Tangyu.
“You don’t have to do anything.
I’ll do it myself, and you won’t have any trouble,” Feng Chen said.
Tangyu curled his lip, “If you want to play such an idiotic game, go ahead and play by yourself, but leave me out of it.
I don’t have such a boring and low-class taste.”
Feng Chen suddenly lunged in front of Tangyu, his gun now pointing at Tangyu’s head, his face manic as he said, “Fine, if you don’t want my life, then I’ll have to take yours.
Today, either my life for you or your life for me.
That’s it; as soon as you speak, I won’t hesitate, my life is yours.
If you don’t speak, I won’t hesitate either, your life is mine.”
Yang Xiaoyu wanted to stop them but found he couldn’t get between the two.
He looked at them with desperate urgency as the tension escalated, his heart racing, not knowing what to do.
Seeing Feng Chen’s crazed actions, Tangyu didn’t get angry but instead laughed, “Although I’ve always hated being threatened by others, you do make me want to laugh.
Fine, keep your life for now.
I’ll take it when it’s needed.
I’ll treat your dad’s illness.
However—I’m not doing it for your life, but out of respect for Xiaoyu and Grandpa Yang.
If it weren’t for their pleading, I would definitely not agree to treat your dad,” Tangyu said.
Feng Chen’s face showed a hint of joy as he put away his gun and gave Tangyu a standard military salute, his face serious as he said, “Thank you.
I owe you my life, and you can call on me for any favor in the future.
Debts owed will be repaid by Feng Chen.
As long as you can heal my dad, anything can be discussed.”
“That’s great, Brother Yu.
Thank you,” Yang Xiaoyu was also extremely happy.
Tangyu smiled and patted Yang Xiaoyu’s head.
When the elder Mr.
Yang learned that Tangyu was willing to treat General Feng, he was exceptionally pleased and immediately arranged for a quiet guest room.
Tangyu asked everyone to stay outside as he preferred to treat illnesses without anyone nearby.
With cooperation from General Feng, Tangyu promptly used a point to induce sleep, causing General Feng to faint.
This was Tangyu’s first attempt at treating ALS, and he really had no experience to draw upon.
Moreover, Tangyu was very aware of the terrifying nature of ALS.
It causes the muscles throughout the body to freeze and then die, destroying all the nerves in the legs, and making treatment extremely difficult.
Even with modern high-tech medicine, it’s almost incurable.
The fact that neither the Divine Doctor nor Doctor Xiao could cure it, showed just how dreadful ALS was.
However, to Tangyu, ALS was not entirely incurable.
The root of ALS lies in the freezing and dying of muscles, leading to the decay of the entire body.
Tangyu’s Immortal Finger Technique possessed the miraculous effect of reversing Yin and Yang, turning things around, and reviving vitality.
If he could channel Pure Yang Qi into every acupuncture point and nerve in General Feng’s legs, he could revive the dead tissue.
Once all the acupoints and nerves in the legs were revived, it essentially meant a cure.
Of course, the first thing Tangyu needed to do was to revive a single nerve at the end of General Feng’s spinal cord, because without it, everything else was in vain.
This was the nerve that caused General Feng’s paralysis in the first place.
A thought struck Tangyu’s mind, “Why not try the Tai Yi Heart Sutra?
These days have been busy, and I’ve had no time for cultivating the Sutra.” As he thought it, he began to practice the Tai Yi Heart Sutra and indeed felt the Pure Yang Qi become more agile.
However, the Tai Yi Heart Sutra is a mental method belonging to the cultivation of Pure Yang Qi, which has tremendous benefits to the cultivation and absorption of it.
In actual application, it still relies on the Immortal Finger Technique.
After circulating it for a while, Tangyu felt a bit more energetic and then stopped practicing the Tai Yi Heart Sutra.
Instead, he applied the Immortal Finger Technique, injecting Pure Yang Qi into General Feng’s tail nerve, making it light up once more, bringing it back from the dead as if winter clouds had given way to spring, breathing new life into it.
This wondrous state was beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
The repair of the nerve went smoothly, but due to the length of time it had been dead, it wasn’t something that could be repaired all at once.
Tangyu was at the Fifth Layer of Pure Yang Qi.
If he could break through to the Sixth Layer, perhaps he could fix it in one go, but at this point, he could only repair up to the Fourth Layer.
At least two more treatments were needed for a complete recovery.
Repairing the peripheral nerves did indeed pose some difficulty for Tangyu.
Instead of rushing to continue with the lower body, he once again circulated the Tai Yi Heart Sutra, which surprised him this time, as the speed of his recovery was two to three times faster than before.
This astonishing rate genuinely surprised Tangyu.
If he were to combine the Tai Yi Heart Sutra with the cultivation of Pure Yang Qi, it would indeed be a case of half the effort for twice the result.
In less than half an hour, Tangyu’s Pure Yang Qi had mostly recovered.
Having recovered, Tangyu continued treating Major General Feng, a process that took up a full hour this time and nearly exhausted Tangyu’s Pure Yang Qi.
This treatment session also came to a temporary halt, having restored about three to four layers of Major General Feng’s condition.
The remainder would require at least two more treatment sessions for a complete recovery.
After half an hour of circulating the Tai Yi Heart Sutra and having recovered seventy to eighty percent, Tangyu stopped.
He couldn’t stay in the room any longer, or people outside would be worried sick.
“Phew, this Tai Yi Heart Sutra is truly a peerless tome, comparable to the Immortal Finger Technique.
And when it comes to the speed of cultivating Pure Yang Qi, it is certainly superior to the Immortal Finger Technique by much.
Miraculous, truly miraculous.
It seems there are many things in this world that even my master and I are unaware of.
If I had acquired this Tai Yi Heart Sutra earlier, I’m afraid I would have entered the Sixth Layer of Pure Yang Qi by now.
With the current lock on matters, it’s difficult to find the time and focus necessary for dedicated cultivation.” Tangyu’s face showed a light and contented smile, pleased by the effectiveness of the Tai Yi Heart Sutra, undoubtedly a treasure that could rapidly enhance his strength.
Having strength also gave Tangyu more confidence to deal with the Yin Medical Sect.
Regaining his composure, Tangyu went over to release Major General Feng from his induced sleep.
Feng slowly awoke, fixing his gaze upon Tangyu.
“How do you feel?” Tangyu asked.
Major General Feng was slightly stunned, then conscientiously checked his feelings and shook his head slightly, “I don’t feel any different, but it seems more comfortable and relaxed than before.”
“Alright, wait here.” Tangyu nodded and went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Feng Chen rushed in like a phantom, so swiftly that even Tangyu’s eyes widened in surprise.
Feng Chen’s strength was definitely not ordinary, at least not something that Young Xiaoyu or Old Master Yang could match.
Young Xiaoyu and the Old Master also entered, and the group quickly gathered around Major General Feng.
“Dad, how are you feeling?” Feng Chen asked with concern, the treatment taking nearly three hours naturally left everyone anxious.
“Don’t worry, I’m feeling a lot better, much improved from before,” Major General Feng replied.
Feng Chen turned to Tangyu and asked, “Tangyu, how is my dad doing?
Is there any improvement?
What are our chances now?”
“About eighty percent, I would say.
Your father’s condition is fairly good at the moment, approximately three layers have recovered.
At least two more treatments are needed for a complete recovery,” Tangyu said.
Excitement inevitably appeared on Feng Chen’s face – an eighty percent chance was quite significant.
What he didn’t realize was that Tangyu had spoken casually; in truth, Tangyu was completely confident of a full recovery at this point.
“Dad, can you feel your legs now?
Can they move?” Feng Chen asked.
“I can’t,” Major General Feng shook his head.
Feng Chen was startled and turned towards Tangyu.
Tangyu said, “It’s not that easy.
If it were, ALS wouldn’t be known as one of the world’s most perplexing diseases.
If he could move, that would mean he’s almost recovered.
Although he can’t move yet, he should still have some sensation.” After speaking, Tangyu walked over, tapped Major General Feng’s leg, and asked, “Do you feel that?”
After feeling it carefully, Major General Feng responded, “I think, there’s a slight sensation.”
“Young Xiaoyu, find a needle for me, or something similarly pointed will do,” Tangyu said to Yang Xiaoyu.
Soon, Yang Xiaoyu fetched a steel needle, which Tangyu swiftly jabbed into Major General Feng’s leg, creating a small hole with no hint of blood emerging.
“How about now?” Tangyu asked again.
A look of thrilled excitement finally appeared on Major General Feng’s face: “There’s a sensation of pain, I can feel a slight pain, it’s the sensation of pain.”
Hearing Major General Feng’s words, everyone was shaken and turned their eyes to Tangyu, whose medical skills were indeed unfathomably divine, like an Immortal’s visitation.
Even ALS could be cured; it was truly baffling.
The return of sensation was an auspicious sign, and Feng Chen looked at Tangyu with a face full of gratitude.
