Chapter 1774 Special Patient

Ye Bufan arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion. Zhai Tianfang had been waiting at the entrance for him and immediately came forward when he saw him.

“Divine Doctor Ye, thank you for coming.”

Zhai Tianfang’s demeanor was respectful, showing no pretense of being the City Lord.

“It’s alright. I am a doctor, and treating patients is within my scope of duty,” Ye Bufan asked, “City Lord, who are we treating?”

Zhai Tianfang said with some difficulty, “This… this person’s identity is too special, and some things need to be kept confidential. There are also some special requirements during the treatment, so I ask Divine Doctor Ye to be understanding.”

“It doesn’t matter. Take me to him.”

Ye Bufan didn’t care; after all, he was not familiar with this world and would leave sooner or later.

Because of this, he was not interested in any special secrets. In his opinion, no matter who it was, it had nothing to do with him.

Zhai Tianfang, however, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had been afraid that Ye Bufan would refuse to treat the person out of anger.

“Divine Doctor Ye, please follow me.”

Soon, the two arrived at a guest room nearby, and Zhai Lingxiu also followed them in.

Ye Bufan looked up and saw a person sitting on the bed, vaguely discernible as a woman.

Zhai Tianfang walked to the bed, bowed, and then respectfully said, “Divine Doctor Ye has arrived.”

“Since you’re here, start the diagnosis and treatment as I said before.”

The woman’s voice was clear and pleasant to listen to, yet it carried a sense of exhaustion.

“Yes!” Zhai Tianfang responded, then turned to Ye Bufan and said, “Dr. Ye, this… this esteemed person’s identity is special, so there can be no physical contact during the treatment. What do you think?”

Ye Bufan was slightly taken aback. Although he had not been on the Kunlun Continent for long, he had some initial understanding of it, and the customs were not conservative.

Especially when treating illnesses, women would not be so resistant to doctors, so this person’s request seemed a bit excessive.

“If that’s the case, then please find someone more skilled.”

He came to treat this person partly out of respect for the City Lord’s Mansion and partly out of his duty as a doctor, but if the other party was so finicky, he couldn’t be blamed.

“This…”

Zhai Tianfang immediately showed a troubled expression, “Divine Doctor Ye, I beg your understanding.”

Ye Bufan said, “This isn’t a matter of understanding. I’m not an immortal; how can I diagnose the illness? What if I use the wrong medicine? What if something goes wrong during the treatment?”

“This…”

Zhai Tianfang also knew his words were reasonable and couldn’t help but look back at the person behind the curtains with a troubled expression.

The woman hesitated for a moment, then finally said, “Alright then, please have the doctor come and take my pulse.”

After speaking, she gently pulled open the curtain and extended her wrist, as white as jade, but it was covered with a thin layer of gauze.

Ye Bufan couldn’t help but examine her more closely. She was wearing a white long dress, but her Face was covered with a black veil.

However, judging from her exposed eyes and the contours of her Face, she was definitely a beauty.

He approached the bed, placed his hand on the woman’s pulse, and out of curiosity, swept his Divine Sense over her.

He originally wanted to see what the woman looked like, as she was acting so mysterious.

But then he was astonished to discover that the black veil on the woman’s Face not only blocked vision but also isolated Divine Sense; it was actually a Magical Artifact.

Since he couldn’t see, he didn’t force it and focused all his attention on the woman’s illness. A moment later, he understood why such a high-status woman had come to Tianlang City to seek his medical help.

It turned out that this woman was also a Cultivator, and her cultivation was extremely high, making it impossible for him to discern its depth.

It was just that she had suffered extremely severe internal injuries, and they were very strange; ordinary doctors simply couldn’t treat them.

After a while, he withdrew his right hand. Zhai Tianfang asked, “Dr. Ye, how is the illness? Can it be treated?”

“The injury is very severe. Her Lesser Yang and Greater Yin Meridians were violently ruptured by someone.

The worst part is that the opponent used extremely sinister and cold True Qi, and there is still cold Qi remaining in her body.”

After he finished speaking, the woman’s body trembled slightly. Before, her gaze towards Ye Bufan was filled with disdain and distrust, and she had completely adopted a ‘desperate measures’ attitude. Now, it was completely the opposite.

This young Little Divine Doctor, without any questions, had clearly described her illness just by taking her pulse. This was already enough to earn her respect.

“Dr. Ye, can it be treated?” Zhai Tianfang asked eagerly, “Don’t worry, all treatment costs will be borne by my City Lord’s Mansion.”

Ye Bufan frowned slightly, “For the sake of the City Lord, even free treatment is fine, but this illness is extremely troublesome to treat.”

What he said was true. Not only were the woman’s internal injuries severe, but the lingering cold Qi was extremely overbearing. To clear it with his current cultivation would undoubtedly be very troublesome.

Tianfang asked, “Dr. Ye, how long will it take?”

Ye Bufan held up three fingers: “About three days. She will recover after three days.”

“Three days?”

The woman on the bed again showed an astonished expression. She had consulted countless famous doctors for her illness before, and the results given were all untreatable.

This Little Divine Doctor, however, said she could recover in three days, which was far beyond her expectations.

“Little Divine Doctor, are your words true?”

Due to excessive nervousness, her voice even trembled slightly.

Ye Bufan said indifferently, “I don’t have a habit of joking with strangers.”

The woman said with a solemn expression, “Little Divine Doctor, if you can heal my injury, I will owe you a favor.”

Zhai Tianfang, who was beside them, raised an eyebrow. He knew the woman’s identity, and being owed a favor by her was more valuable than any medical fee.

Ye Bufan, however, curled his lips, secretly thinking, 'Is your favor worth a lot of money?'

The woman asked again, “Little Divine Doctor, when will the treatment begin?”

“Right now!”

Ye Bufan said, taking out silver needles and beginning to administer acupuncture to the woman.

The two main Meridians that were injured were the Lesser Yang Meridian in the arm, which was relatively simpler. He started there, inserting silver needles one by one from top to bottom into the Acupoints on her arm.

At the same time, the Chaotic True Qi transformed into Yang attribute, continuously flowing into the Acupoints through the silver needles.

According to Ye Bufan’s idea, he wanted to use Yang to dispel the cold, slowly removing this cold Qi from the arm.

However, reality differed somewhat from his thoughts. This cold Qi was extremely overbearing and showed no intention of retreating; on the contrary, it put up a fierce resistance within the Meridians.

Left with no choice, he could only slowly dissolve the opponent’s cold Qi through the Chaotic True Qi. This made the process much slower, and the consumption of his own Qi was also extremely significant.

The most crucial point was that his cultivation was currently only at the Golden Core Late Stage, and his strength was still a bit too weak, making it extremely difficult to deal with the overbearing cold Qi.

Moreover, the Meridians were already very fragile, and the woman’s Lesser Yang Meridian had been shattered into pieces, unable to withstand too much True Qi. He could only proceed slowly, bit by bit.

This made the speed much slower. By the time this treatment was nearing its end, three or four hours had already passed.

The sun outside had set below the horizon at some unknown time, and the entire City Lord’s Mansion was enveloped in darkness.
