Chapter 46: Circulating Qi to Attempt a Breakthrough

"Of course I can. In this entire world, I am afraid I am the only one who can treat Old Master Tang."

Ye Bufan's tone sounded arrogant, but it was the absolute truth. Only someone like him, whose Cultivation Technique and martial arts had reached a certain Realm, could treat such internal injuries caused by Qi Deviation.

"Ye Bufan, could you stop playing tricks? What Qi Deviation? That is completely fraudulent nonsense. This is terminal cancer. You are going to delay the patient's treatment."

Gao Haisheng said to Tang Feng, "Mr. Tang, you must not be deceived by this charlatan. My diagnosis is the most scientific; Old Master Tang definitely has terminal cancer."

Ye Bufan glanced at him and asked, "Have you seen all of Old Master Tang's diagnostic reports?"

"Of course I have. Not only have I seen the diagnosis I made today, but I have also reviewed all the previous test results."

Ye Bufan asked, "Then tell me, when did Old Master Tang develop cancer? Was it three days ago?"

Gao Haisheng replied, "That's right. Old Master Tang was diagnosed with cancer three days ago, and he was very healthy before that."

"That is the point. Have you ever seen a cancer progress from the Early Stage to the terminal stage in just three days, covering all the internal organs?"

"This…"

Gao Haisheng was completely dumbfounded. Indeed, such a situation had never occurred. Even with the fastest-developing lung cancer, it was impossible to complete the transition from the Middle Stage to the terminal stage in just a few days.

"But the X-ray clearly shows a large number of tumor shadows in the patient's chest. That cannot be denied…"

Ye Bufan said, "What caused those shadows is not a tumor, but rather True Qi rampaging through the internal organs after Qi Deviation, causing severe internal injuries. And since your so-called high-tech equipment cannot see this clearly, you misdiagnosed it as terminal cancer."

"Exactly right, Dr. Ye, you are absolutely right." Before Gao Haisheng could speak, Tang Feng excitedly grabbed Ye Bufan's hand. "Dr. Ye, you haven't even checked his pulse, yet you described my father's condition so clearly. You truly are a miraculous doctor."

Ye Bufan said, "Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking. I have already clearly assessed the Old Master's condition. If I am not mistaken, three days ago, the Old Master was anxious to attempt a Breakthrough to the next Realm. Because he was too eager for success, it led to Qi Deviation."

"Yes, exactly. My father has Cultivated his entire life, but ended up stuck at the Great Perfection of the Yellow Rank, unable to step into the Profound Rank. The Old Master couldn't control his emotions for a moment, so he forcibly attempted the Breakthrough, which eventually led to Qi Deviation and severe internal injuries."

At this moment, Tang Feng was completely awestruck by Ye Bufan.

Ye Bufan asked in surprise, "What is the use of calling in Western medicine for internal injuries caused by this kind of Cultivation?"

Tang Feng sighed and said, "I had no other choice. There are already few Martial Artists nowadays, and doctors capable of treating their internal injuries are even rarer. After my father was injured, I couldn't find a suitable doctor. Seeing that he was in critical condition, I had no choice but to take a risk."

Ye Bufan nodded. It was true; for internal injuries like this caused by Qi Deviation, even Cao Xinghua would likely be helpless.

Hearing their conversation, Gao Haisheng stood by, dumbfounded. This had far exceeded his understanding.

Tang Feng said urgently, "Dr. Ye, please quickly take a look at my father. He vomits blood every hour, and it is almost time for the next episode. If this continues, the Old Master's body won't be able to handle it."

"Don't worry, let me take a look first."

Ye Bufan said this and walked to the head of the bed, reaching out to place his hand on Tang Tianyi's pulse.

Although he had already assessed the Old Master's condition through his Divine Sense, checking the pulse would be more accurate.

Tang Feng asked nervously, "Dr. Ye, how is my father's condition?"

Ye Bufan frowned and said, "The situation is more complex than I imagined. The internal injuries are easy to handle, and the damaged Meridians can also be recovered. However, his internal organs are currently flooded with violent True Qi from the failed Breakthrough attempt. If this True Qi cannot be cleared out, even if he is saved, he will be a cripple and will never have a chance to practice martial arts again."

Tang Feng said anxiously, "Dr. Ye, is there any way? My father has been obsessed with martial arts his whole life; if he cannot practice, the Old Master will likely die of depression."

"There is one way, which is to have him attempt the Breakthrough again. As long as his cultivation level improves, that Chaotic True Qi will naturally be cleared away, and there will be no future repercussions."

Tang Feng said with a bitter face, "Dr. Ye, my father has been stagnant at the Peak of the Yellow Rank for over a decade. If it were that easy to break through, my father would have already reached the Profound Rank long ago, and he wouldn't have suffered from Qi Deviation."

"I can help him with that."

Ye Bufan had previously fought that old Daoist, and now, having checked Tang Tianyi's pulse, he had a basic concept of the Yellow Rank and Profound Rank for Martial Artists.

A Yellow Level Warrior was equivalent to his Qi Refinement Stage in cultivation, and a Xuán Rank martial artist was equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Currently, what Tang Tianyi needed to break through was the Bottleneck of the Qi Refinement Stage, equivalent to when he completed his own Foundation Establishment.

However, he Cultivated the Chaos Art, which was several levels higher than the martial arts techniques on Earth, and his True Qi was also much purer.

With his help, plus the two remaining Foundation Establishment Pills, helping the Old Master reach the Profound Rank was not a difficult task.

"Really? Dr. Ye, can you really help my father break through? If you can do it, you will be the great benefactor of our Tang Family."

It was no wonder he was excited. Martial Artist families also had Ranks. If he could help Tang Tianyi break through to become a Xuán Rank martial artist, the Tang Family would rise in status, becoming incomparable to what it was now.

Ye Bufan said, "Let's give it a try. I am ninety percent sure I can do it. Even if it fails, I can still save the Old Master's life; it won't be worse than the current situation."

After saying this, he took out a Foundation Establishment Pill and popped it into Tang Tianyi's mouth. Gao Haisheng, standing by, frowned. That dark, lumpy pill looked uneven and didn't look like anything that could cure an illness.

Ye Bufan didn't care what others were thinking. He took silver needles from his pocket and inserted three needles in succession into the major acupoints on Tang Tianyi's chest. The old man, who had been in a coma, immediately opened his eyes and regained consciousness.

"Don't ask anything now. Sit cross-legged immediately and follow my guidance to circulate your Qi and attempt the Breakthrough."

Ye Bufan helped Tang Tianyi up, had him sit cross-legged on the bed, then reached out his right hand to press against his Mingmen acupoint, slowly injecting Chaotic True Qi.

Chaotic True Qi inherently had the effect of nourishing Meridians. After entering Tang Tianyi's Dantian, it helped him repair the injuries caused by Qi Deviation.

At this moment, the effect of the Foundation Establishment Pill began to take hold. The True Qi in the Dantian became more abundant and purer, and under Ye Bufan's guidance, it slowly began to circulate through the Meridians.

Having Cultivated his entire life, Tang Tianyi naturally knew that an expert was helping him repair his injuries and circulate his Qi to attempt a Breakthrough. He stopped overthinking, calmed his mind, and began to circulate his own True Qi in coordination with Ye Bufan's guidance.
