"Don't worry, the surgery was very successful. It's just that from now on you may have to squat down to pee."
After the nurse left, Zhang Yi covered himself with the blanket and began to sob quietly.
The man did not shed tears, but he did not go to the sad place.
He is now very sad and no longer a real man.
After calming down, Zhang Yi realized that he had been set up.
That blue-haired guy's last few kicks were extremely vicious, and he was even wearing hard-soled boots; he was clearly aiming to make me infertile!
According to the police officers I spoke with last night, the "Shamate" trio has been arrested and taken to the detention center.
Is this the result he wanted?
He wants those three bastards dead!
In his excitement, he aggravated his wound, cried out in pain, and broke out in a cold sweat.
He tried to touch his good brother, but naturally he found nothing.
[Don't worry, the surgery was very successful. It just means you might have to squat to urinate from now on.]
The nurse's words echoed in his ears. Zhang Yi looked at the IV drip above his head, and for a moment, the joy of being reborn vanished, replaced by endless regret.
The two Bai women were working diligently, hoping to drink the milk soon.
[Due to his brother's machinations, Zhang Yi was castrated, slightly affecting the plot. The protagonist, Zhang Yi, has his luck reduced by 200 points, currently at 2800/3000!]
Two ounces of meat is really nothing to Zhang Yi. Anyway, his storyline is mainly about staying at home, so whether he has a little brother or not doesn't matter. It only has a temporary impact on his current mindset.
To be honest, Zhang Yi should thank Ling Yun!
Lingyun helped him get rid of the root of his troubles, so that thing wouldn't be dangling underneath him when he ran anymore, and his running speed might even increase significantly.
To completely defeat Zhang Yi, this alone is not enough; more importantly, he needs to be punished.
Blue Hair and his friends became acquainted with Ling Yun after a fight. Since Lai Xiaohu died, they had also "lost their jobs." After learning Ling Yun's true identity, and without the influence of the "brain-degrading halo," they quickly went to Ling Yun's door to apologize and ask for some work.
These few thugs don't have any special skills, but their ability to resist trouble is top-notch. Going to the detention center is like going home for them. They'll just be bailed out again in a while.
After Xiao Ai finished her report, Ling Yun reached his breaking point. He didn't care about anything else and pressed Bai Ning's head down, letting her have her fill.
After drinking milk again, Bai Ning's complexion became much rosier. Ling Yun patted her cheeks and prepared to set off for Mang Village.
Bai Xin wanted to go with him, and Ling Yun felt that it shouldn't be a problem at this point in time, so he agreed.
The girl happily waved goodbye to her mother, then got into the supercar and followed Ling Yun to a remote village.
Having received advance notice, Li Tian and his son Li Wei led the villagers to line the village entrance to welcome them. There were so many people that the car almost couldn't get through.
"Li Tian, has your project started yet?"
Li Tian bent over and smiled, "Thanks to you, construction has officially started!"
Ling Yun said casually, "If you find anything strange in the village, remember to let me know..."
"I was just about to tell you that we did dig something up yesterday evening, but we don't know what it is yet."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yun immediately asked Li Tian to take him there, and at the same time asked who was present when the object was unearthed.
“They are all our relatives, and they are all in Mang Village now.”
"Tell them not to go out recently, to stay here, and to wait for my instructions."
"Yes, Chairman Ling!"
They arrived at Li Tian's house. Ling Yun asked the girl to wait at the door, and he went inside with Li Tian.
Li Tian opened his old-fashioned box and took out a jar.
Chapter 74 Four Symbols Needle Technique
The jar looked somewhat old, and Lingyun used his Eye of Insight on it.
【Source of Plague】: A product from the spirit world, buried here by someone with ulterior motives. Once unsealed, it can transform creatures with weak resistance into monsters, which can increase their strength by devouring flesh and blood. At its highest level, it can give birth to monsters comparable to those in the Golden Core stage.
He had previously used the search function on the book "The Immortal Doctor's Secret Records" but couldn't figure out its origins, which clearly made it several levels higher than the jar.
"You haven't touched this jar, have you?"
"Chairman Ling, how dare we move if you don't come!"
Li Tian's exaggerated expression made him look just like a good village chief who was hiding his treasures and waiting for Ling Yun to come and collect them.
Ling Yun didn't believe him. This man was extremely selfish and self-serving, even wary of his own son. How could he possibly be so loyal to him?
How many years has your village been established?
Ling Yun didn't rush to touch the jar; instead, he inquired about the history of Mang Village.
Li Tian put the jar down: "It should be two or three hundred years old. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, some seniors came to our village to investigate something, but I don't know the specifics."
"I'll take this jar with me for now." Ling Yun touched the jar with his hand and found nothing wrong with it. "Don't move around in the village recently. Remember to report to me if anyone goes out."
"Don't worry, I'm very reliable!"
Ling Yun picked up the jar and walked out, secretly wondering if Xiao Ai could put the jar into her spatial storage.
The thing inside is alive, so it shouldn't be stored there in the first place. However, the final decision rests with me, so please put it in without worry, brother!
The jar vanished from Ling Yun's hand. He had just met Bai Xin when he heard Xiao Ai's voice again.
[Because the elder brother prematurely removed the source of the plague in Mang Village, it had a significant impact on the plot. The protagonist Zhang Yi's luck points were reduced by 2000, currently standing at 800/3000!]
[The protagonist Zhang Yi's luck has dropped below half, weakening his talent attributes!]
Zhang Yi's "Reborn Person (Purple)" has changed to "Reborn from Calamity (Blue)".
[Rebirth After Calamity: Reborn from the apocalypse, as the price, some of the memories from that world have been lost.]
Not over yet?
"Xiao Ai, I've nipped the problem in the bud, so why isn't Zhang Yi's story over yet?"
[Not yet, brother. The plot will self-correct. The story will only end when the protagonist encounters an insurmountable external force, and after deduction, there is no chance of recovery.]
What Xiao Ai said makes sense. The protagonists are all chosen ones. Although they cannot directly write or change their fate, their plots will self-correct. However, each time they correct themselves, the protagonists' luck and growth potential will decrease.
"It seems there are new sources of infection elsewhere."
Yes, but the spread of the new source of infection will be greatly reduced, as can be seen from Zhang Yi's luck value~
Ling Yun took Bai Xin into the car. Rather than wasting time and effort searching for new sources of infection like a headless fly, it would be better to see how much this guy's fate had changed so that they could prescribe the right medicine.
Zhang Yi works at a small hospital with poor medical conditions, and the doctors' professional skills are just so-so.
They arrived outside Zhang Yi's hospital room and took a look at his current condition.
In the "Fate" section, the source of infection changed from Mang Village to his neighborhood, and his combat strength also dropped from 9 to 3, leaving him severely weakened. Even a young girl could easily defeat him.
When Ling Yun turned around, he found that Bai Xin was gone.
He followed the girl's scent and found her watching the commotion outside a hospital room not far away.
The ward was noisy. A woman was scolding a nurse who was crying her eyes out. Several of her colleagues and doctors were trying to calm the family down.
"Calm down? How can you expect me to calm down!" It was a middle-aged woman with reddened eyes. "If we weren't broke, we wouldn't have come to this lousy hospital! The person is about to die, and this brat says we shouldn't have come in the first place. What kind of hospital does this?!"
When Bai Xin saw Ling Yun arrive, she pulled him aside and whispered gossip, "That auntie is so fierce! Her husband was injured and brought here. He was conscious before coming here last night, but now he's unconscious and all his vital signs are dropping sharply."
Ling Yun nodded and peeked into the ward.
An elderly doctor sighed: "Ms. Qu, please calm down. As a martial artist, you should know that Mr. Di was seriously injured in a fight, and his internal organs are almost displaced. The safest course of action now is to send him to the intensive care unit for observation."
"That wasn't a martial arts contest, it was murder!"
"Okay, Ms. Qu, this kind of thing is handled by the police. All we at the hospital can do is inform you of the patient's true condition..."
The middle-aged woman punched the chair next to her, shattering it and interrupting the old doctor's words.
She controlled her punches exceptionally well; the gust of wind and flying debris did not injure anyone in the room, but they did frighten them into screaming.
Marrow Cleansing Realm!
This seemingly unremarkable middle-aged woman actually possesses the strength of the Marrow Cleansing Realm!
In this martial arts world where grandmasters rarely leave their seclusion and those born with innate martial arts prowess are already considered top-tier experts, those at the Marrow Cleansing Realm can be considered top-tier masters.
For martial artists of this level, making money is incredibly easy. They can be treated as honored guests in any family they visit, receiving a generous monthly stipend. Their job is simply to guide the younger generation and lend a hand when the family faces danger.
Unless, of course, they deliberately conceal their martial arts identities and live as ordinary people.
The woman appeared to be having a tantrum, but she had actually done her best to restrain herself; otherwise, it wouldn't have been as simple as just breaking a chair.
The atmosphere in the ward plummeted to freezing point. Just as the doctors and nurses were at a loss for what to do, Ling Yun walked in.
He went straight to the patient, took his wrist, and began to examine his injuries.
"Hey, what are you doing!"
A young doctor was about to speak up to stop her when he was intimidated by the woman's fierce gaze.
After stunning the doctor, Qu Sui looked at Ling Yun with anticipation.
“The internal injuries are very serious.” Ling Yun lifted the male patient’s clothes, and there were no visible marks on his abdomen. “He was punched hard in the abdomen. The opponent was very strong, at least a martial artist at the Innate Realm.”
He touched the patient's abdomen again and nodded slightly: "Logically speaking, with such a serious injury, there should be obvious external marks on his abdomen, so he must have been given medicine to treat external injuries, which is quite effective, but it has no effect on internal injuries."
"gentlemen!"
Qu Sui immediately knelt down: "Please, you must have a way, right?"
"Luckily I arrived at the right time; if it had been a few hours later, it would have been truly beyond medical help."
Ling Yun glanced at the medical staff: "Your pharmacy should have quite a few medicinal herbs. Could you get me some?"
He rattled off a list of medicines, all common herbs that the hospital could easily gather.
Ling Yun then asked them to bring an acupuncture kit. Without hiding it from anyone, he disinfected the kit and immediately used the Four Symbols Acupuncture Technique.
This is a unique skill from "The Secret Records of Immortal Physicians". It does not require the practitioner to be very strong. As long as they can draw upon the energy of heaven and earth at the level of true qi, it is enough to perform the skill.
He inserted needles into several acupoints on the man, then channeled his inner energy into them, causing the needle tips to tremble on their own.
Each vibration of the steel needle caused vibrations at the acupoints, and gradually, those three acupoints appeared with a peculiar pink color, which spread down along the meridians.
Ling Yun pulled out the steel needle, and foul blood gushed out from the acupoint. In less than a minute, the man miraculously woke up!
Chapter 75 Ranking Invitation
Di Qiu stared blankly at the unfamiliar young man, then glanced at her excited lover beside her, and gradually understood what was going on.
"Old Di, hurry up and thank this gentleman!" Qu Sui wiped away her tears. "If it weren't for him, you would have been killed by these quack doctors long ago!"
Stared at with hatred in her eyes, the medical staff could only manage a forced smile. It wasn't that they lacked medical skills; rather, Ling Yun was on a completely different level from them.
"Thank you sir!"
Di Qiu wanted to get up and express his gratitude, but unfortunately he had not yet recovered and could only sit up with the help of his wife.
"Since Mr. Di is already a master of the Innate Realm, why was he so badly injured?"
Mentioning this, the man shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Sir, you don't know this, but Sui'er and I were originally disciples of the Bengshan Fist School. After watching our own son get beaten to death in a martial arts match, we retired from the martial arts world and started a small business. We didn't make much money, but we managed to get by. Unexpectedly, yesterday a man came to me and said that I was the strongest martial artist in the Bengshan Fist School and wanted to spar with me."
"I was already tired of the fighting and killing in the martial arts world, and I was also busy, so I ignored him. Who knew that the short guy would suddenly rush over and start fighting without saying a word."
"I haven't practiced martial arts for many years, and my skills have become rusty, but I am still a Xiantian martial artist, so I started fighting him."
"That guy wasn't tall, but he was exceptionally agile and extremely strong, at least much stronger than me. Yet he suppressed his cultivation level to the same early stage of the Innate Realm as me and only used his fist techniques to fight me."
"I fought him for dozens of rounds without a clear winner. He kept shouting that it was exhilarating and became more and more courageous as the battle progressed."
"I had neglected my training and my boxing skills had deteriorated a lot. He seized the opportunity and punched me in the abdomen, which immediately rendered me unable to fight."
"After he defeated me, he left without a trace. When Sui'er came back, she applied the sect's healing ointment to me, but unfortunately it had no effect on treating my internal injuries. In the end, she had to send me to the hospital."
After listening, Ling Yun asked, "Do you know what that person's name is?"
"I remember he said his name was Feng Xiu, and he came to me specifically to learn from me. He even said that we would determine who was better and who would die. I guess he thought that punch was enough to kill me, so he didn't finish me off."
A period of seclusion? A one-man martial arts world?
However, now that he knew the other party's name, Ling Yun had a better understanding of the situation.
