Chapter 25: Explosive News

"Sister-in-law, talismans are used to assist in medical treatment."

Zhou Lang saw the look of distrust on Leng Xinyue's face but didn't mind. After all, this kind of thing was hard for ordinary people to accept. Before he obtained the Dual Cultivation Manual, he probably wouldn't have believed it either, so he could understand Leng Xinyue's reaction.

"Is this useful?"

Leng Xinyue asked hesitantly, then looked toward Zen Master Fangzhi. She also knew Zen Master Fangzhi and was aware that he had profound Buddhist knowledge, as well as superb martial arts and Medical Skills, so she wanted to hear his opinion.

She was a soldier under Old General Qin and trusted him deeply. Since the old general held Zhou Lang in high regard, she probably would have gotten up and left if not for the fact that Zhou Lang had cured the old general's leg ailment. As a highly educated former special forces soldier and the current wife of the Municipal Party Secretary, she simply could not believe in the matter of talismans!

"Benefactor Leng, Mr. Zhou is an extraordinary person; he cannot be judged by conventional logic," Zen Master Fangzhi said. His Master had been a Cultivator who had entered the Qi Refinement Stage, so he knew a little about talismans. Unfortunately, his Master's cultivation had stagnated at the Qi Refinement Stage and he had passed away decades ago. Given his own cultivation level at the time, he hadn't been qualified to learn about talismans, which was why he had been shocked and excited when he saw Zhou Lang take out the Invisibility Talisman earlier.

"Sister-in-law, if you trust me, then please close your eyes," Zhou Lang said. "I am going to begin your treatment."

"Could it be that ghosts and gods really exist in this world? Did I collide with some evil entity?"

Leng Xinyue thought to herself. Since both Old General Qin and Zen Master Fangzhi held Zhou Lang in such high regard, she couldn't help but think in that direction. She closed her eyes; regardless of what effect Zhou Lang's talisman might have, there was no great loss in trying.

Immediately, Zhou Lang placed the talisman on her forehead. The talisman emitted a burst of light, merged into her body, and disappeared.

When Zen Master Fangzhi's expression shifted again, Zhou Lang had already focused his mind and looked toward Leng Xinyue's chest.

Leng Xinyue was over forty. Although she was older, she still possessed some charm and was a beautiful woman. However, Zhou Lang harbored no evil thoughts toward her. When the Perspective Talisman took effect, he did not look at places he shouldn't, but instead carefully observed the Meridians in her chest area.

With the Perspective Talisman, he quickly discovered that there was indeed a foreign object in Leng Xinyue's Meridians. It was a tiny round ball that occasionally wandered through the Meridians near her heart, and its pattern of movement was consistent with the circulation of her blood.

"Zen Master, please act as my Protector; I am going to begin the treatment," Zhou Lang said. He sat down behind Leng Xinyue and placed his palm on her back.

Zen Master Fangzhi nodded and stood guard at the door.

The True Qi within Zhou Lang's Dantian instantly began to vibrate at high speed, rapidly entering her Meridians through the major acupuncture points on Leng Xinyue's back.

Very quickly, Zhou Lang's True Qi wrapped around the foreign object in the Meridians of Leng Xinyue's heart, continuously rubbing and squeezing it.

The tiny sphere slowly shrank until, in the end, it vanished into nothingness.

Subsequently, a few drops of black liquid oozed out from Leng Xinyue's fingertips; the tiny ball, which had been crushed into powder by the friction of the True Qi, was forced out by Zhou Lang using his True Qi.

"Whoosh!"

After withdrawing his energy, Zhou Lang stood up and said to Leng Xinyue, "Sister-in-law, your illness is cured. You will never have angina again."

Leng Xinyue also stood up, though she was somewhat skeptical. Just now, she had felt a warm sensation in her chest, but other than that, there were no other symptoms. Was her illness really cured just like that? If so, couldn't all those experts and professors who had treated her before just go and bang their heads against a block of tofu?

"If you don't believe me, Sister-in-law, you can try performing a set of punches. In the past, whenever you engaged in even slight strenuous exercise, your chest would ache, right?" Zhou Lang, of course, knew what Leng Xinyue was thinking and said with a smile.

Leng Xinyue complied and assumed the stance of military boxing, slowly performing a few moves.

A joyful expression soon appeared on her face, and she increased the intensity of her practice. After a minute or two, it evolved into a violent momentum, emitting a whistling sound of wind.

Ever since she had been shot and retired from the service, she hadn't dared to practice boxing with such force for many years. In the past, if she had engaged in even a little strenuous exercise, her chest would definitely have ached. But now, she felt a sense of youth returning; she felt that her entire Bloodline was clear, and even when she threw a full-force punch, she felt no abnormalities in her body.

"Zhou Lang really is an extraordinary person. I actually doubted his Medical Skills earlier."

After finishing her punches, Leng Xinyue said somewhat embarrassedly, "I didn't believe in your talisman technique earlier. I didn't expect the results to be so astonishing. Little Brother Zhou, you won't take offense at what I said earlier, will you?"

"It is natural for ordinary people to find the talisman technique difficult to understand; this is a normal mindset, so Sister-in-law, you need not worry," Zhou Lang said with a smile. "Let us go out now; Secretary Lei and the others are likely waiting anxiously."

"Okay."

Leng Xinyue finally set her mind at ease. She felt that besides being mysterious, Zhou Lang's high level of Medical Skills and his state of mind were also things that ordinary people could not compare to.

In fact, in the past, if Zhou Lang had seen the Municipal Party Secretary and his wife, he might have been extremely nervous. Zhou Lang's change came after he became powerful. Powerful people are confident, which is why Zhou Lang appeared more composed and magnanimous than the average young person.

Zhou Lang was absolutely correct. Secretary Lei Gang, in the main hall of the temple, had been burning with anxiety because his wife hadn't come out for so long. At this moment, he was pacing back and forth in the hall like an ant on a hot pan.

"Lei Gang, don't worry too much," Old General Qin said to reassure him. "Zhou Lang's Medical Skills are miraculous. I estimate that in about half a month, Little Leng's illness will be cured."

Although Lei Gang trusted the Old General's judgment, he was still feeling unsettled.

"Creak." Suddenly, the door to the meditation room opened, and Zhou Lang, Leng Xinyue, and Zen Master Fangzhi walked out.

"Little Brother Zhou, how did it go?" Lei Gang asked very nervously. It was clear that he loved his wife very much and cared deeply for her.

"Just ask Sister-in-law, and you will know," Zhou Lang said with a slight smile.

"Brother Lei, from now on, I'm afraid you'll have to be bullied by me again," Leng Xinyue said with a laugh, suddenly throwing a punch toward Lei Gang.

"Whoosh!" This punch was full of power.

"Madam, what are you doing? You cannot engage in strenuous exercise!" Lei Gang was shocked. He didn't dare to fight with Leng Xinyue, so he immediately pushed away. His movements were steady and agile; it appeared his martial arts were not weak either.

"My body is completely healed," Leng Xinyue said with a laugh. "Just now, inside, I performed a whole set of military boxing."

"Really?"

Lei Gang asked, half-believing and half-doubting. Leng Xinyue's illness had persisted for many years, and she had seen many famous doctors to no effect. Now, she had recovered in less than an hour; this was truly shocking.

"Of course it is true," Leng Xinyue said. "Little Brother Zhou's Medical Skills are truly breathtaking."

"Little Brother Zhou, what exactly was the illness my wife had?" Lei Gang asked, his mind finally at ease. "This illness has tormented her for many years; now I can finally rest easy."

"It wasn't an illness, but rather that after she was shot, a tiny steel ball had not been removed," Zhou Lang said. "This steel ball was in the Meridians near Sister-in-law's heart, and as it flowed with the blood, it would naturally cause her to experience regular angina."

"The bullet was removed at the time, so why was there shrapnel left in her body? Even if there was shrapnel, it should have been visible when taking X-rays at the hospital," Qin Pojun said, as this matter was indeed a bit strange.

"This shrapnel was made of special Materials that medical equipment cannot detect," Zhou Lang said.

"Mr. Zhou, let me see this shrapnel. It seems there is no such Material in the country," Qin Pojun said. Obviously, he was very interested in this special Material.

"It is a pity; this shrapnel was shattered by my True Qi and forced out of Sister-in-law's body. Now, only black powder remains," Zhou Lang said.

"Little Brother, this old man has lived for over ninety years, and your cultivation and Medical Skills are truly something I have never seen or heard of before." At this, even Old General Qin sighed in admiration.

"I still have a long way to go," Zhou Lang said with a smile, being modest.

That night, Zhou Lang, Zhao Xiaorou, Lei Gang, and Leng Xinyue left Feiyun Temple, while Old General Qin, Qin Pojun, and the others stayed at Feiyun Temple for the night.

This time, Zhou Lang and Zhao Xiaorou did not go back by bicycle; Lei Gang drove them himself to their shared apartment. After dropping them off at the apartment, Lei Gang and Leng Xinyue asked Zhou Lang and Zhao Xiaorou to be sure to visit their home whenever they had time.

After showering, Zhou Lang and Zhao Xiaorou sat together in the living room watching television.

"Brother Lang, I didn't expect that you had an engagement with the big singing star Ye Qianqian. Now that the marriage has been called off, do you feel any regret?" Zhao Xiaorou asked.

"In the past, my family's financial situation was quite good. My grandfather and Ye Qianqian's grandfather were as close as brothers, so they arranged this marriage. But I didn't expect that later, my parents would pass away early and my family's fortune would decline, and the Ye family would look down on me," Zhou Lang said. "However, I really don't think much of such a woman."

"Then what kind of girls do you like?" Zhao Xiaorou asked after a moment of silence.

"Simple and kind is enough," Zhou Lang said with a smile. "Of course, if she is a great beauty, that would be even better."

"It seems that you are the type I just described," Zhao Xiaorou giggled. After laughing, she said, "Brother Lang, you are a good person, your cultivation is high, your Medical Skills are high, and you have made many distinguished acquaintances. If I run into any trouble in the future, will you help me?"

"Need you even ask?" Zhou Lang replied with a question.

"That's good," Zhao Xiaorou said.

"Why is this girl talking so strangely? Did she offend some powerful figure?" Zhou Lang thought to himself. Ever since he saved Zhao Xiaorou that day, he had felt that she didn't seem much like an unemployed person, because she wasn't nervous at all when she saw Municipal Party Secretary Lei Gang or even Old General Qin.

The next day, explosive news broke out from Feiyun Temple: Vice Mayor Nie Qingyun was removed from his post and sentenced to five years in prison for corruption, bribery, and misconduct in his private life.

Meanwhile, Nie Qingyun's son, Nie Yuanxiong, the CEO of Guili Media Co., Ltd., was sentenced to one month of re-education through labor.

As for Ye Qianqian, the Municipal Propaganda Department issued a ban; from then on, Ye Qianqian was forbidden from any commercial performances and could no longer appear on television.

As for those eight police officers, they were all removed from their posts and investigated.

Hearing this news, Zhou Lang finally felt vindicated and felt that he had vented his anger.
