Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 1695: Chapter 1696: The Surgery Is Simple

At first, Li Tiancheng addressed him as ”little brother,” but now, Li Tiancheng had already started calling Lin Chen ”brother.”

The reason for Li Tiancheng’s change in attitude towards Lin Chen was mainly because Lin Chen had just perfectly diagnosed his condition with not a single mistake.

Lin Chen’s understanding of his illness far surpassed any of the so-called Divine Doctors who had previously treated him.

Li Tiancheng and Fang Tianhua were both intently staring at Lin Chen, eager to know the answer.

Lin Chen, after a moment of contemplation, said, ”What you have is not an ordinary poison but Gu poison. The pill you have been taking is called Jiuyang Danxue, which does not cure your illness but is actually meant to feed the parasitic worms in your body. This is why your pain lessens after taking it. After you’ve taken it, those worms get full and naturally won’t torment you, but they will grow larger, and the next attack will cause you even more pain. Taking this pill is said to cure your illness, but it’s actually feeding these worms. And when these worms fully form, that will be the day of your death.”

”Ah!”

Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, Li Tiancheng’s face changed drastically, and the pill bottle in his hand dropped to the ground, shattering.

”Gu poison, how could I not have thought of that, damn it, damn it...”

Hearing Lin Chen’s statement, Li Tiancheng felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

A hundred years ago, his power was already at the peak of an Immortal Emperor, just one step away from the God Realm.

During a battle, he was ambushed by a Martial Artist from the Demon Territory and suffered severe injuries.

Since that injury, his cultivation stagnated, and what tormented him even more was the constant pain he had to endure.

It wasn’t until later, through a friend’s introduction, he met a Divine Doctor from Xiling City, who gave him a bottle of Jiuyang Danxue, which barely suppressed the Gu poison, requiring him to take a pill almost every month.

Now he finally understood that the so-called Divine Doctor from Xiling City was actually using a deceitful trick on him.

Pretending to help him heal, but in reality, slowly killing him.

Li Tiancheng had roamed the Immortal World for a millennium, killed countless strong enemies, and had many foes.

It’s likely that the so-called master from Xiling City was one of his enemies, trying to take his life this way.

Li Tiancheng suddenly burst into laughter, his face tinged with bitterness.

”To think that I, Li Tiancheng, who has killed countless enemies and roamed the Immortal World, ended up mistaking an enemy for a savior. Truly blind, utterly ridiculous.”

”Mr. Lin Chen, is there any hope for Brother Li?” Fang Tianhua asked anxiously.

”Brother Fang, don’t trouble Brother Lin Chen. Over the years, I’ve seen so many Divine Doctors, and none of them could help me. My entire life, I’ve been devoted to martial arts, with too much bloodshed; this might be my retribution,” Li Tiancheng said with a deep sigh of resignation.

Seeing the despair in Li Tiancheng’s eyes, Lin Chen suddenly smiled faintly.

”City Lord Li, I can cure your illness.”

”You can cure it, really?” Li Tiancheng’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

However, there was still a hint of doubt in his eyes. Although Lin Chen had pinpointed his illness, it didn’t mean he could treat it.

His illness had been deemed untreatable by Divine Doctors across the Immortal World, so could Lin Chen really cure it?

In truth, at this point, Li Tiancheng had no hope for his illness and had even arranged his affairs, awaiting death.

”Of course it’s true. It’s a small ailment that’s easily handled,” Lin Chen said casually.

”A small ailment?” Li Tiancheng and Fang Tianhua exchanged a look, a wry smile on their faces.

This illness was considered incurable by those Divine Doctors, yet in Lin Chen’s eyes, it was just a small ailment.

”Are you sure?”

Li Tiancheng asked.

After all, Lin Chen was quite young, and in the field of medicine, whether in the Immortal World or on Earth, the older the healer, the more valuable they were. So even though Lin Chen identified the cause of Li Tiancheng’s illness, it was hard to believe he could cure what many Divine Doctors couldn’t.

”If I treat you, not only can you recover from your ailment in a short time, but you can also continue cultivating to the God Realm. If you don’t believe me, a year from now will be your deadline.”

Lin Chen said with confident certainty, his demeanor exuding an undeniable authority.

Both Li Tiancheng’s and Fang Tianhua’s expressions tensed. Although this young man’s age was not much, his aura was something even they couldn’t match.

At this point, Li Tiancheng finally took a deep breath, ”Since Mr. Lin Chen is willing to lend a hand, thank you.”

Fang Tianhua frowned and called Li Tiancheng to the side.

”Old Li, this kid’s background is unknown. You’re really letting him treat you?”

Li Tiancheng sighed, ”What other option do I have? According to the information from my son, Mr. Lin’s power is unfathomable. I’m willing to take the gamble.”

The sensation of worms boring into his bones was something Li Tiancheng didn’t want to endure even for another day, so at this moment, he pinned all his hopes on Lin Chen.

In the City Lord’s mansion, Li Tiancheng sat cross-legged on a mat, surrounded by several invited Divine Doctors.

They looked at Lin Chen standing behind him, all frowning.

”City Lord Li letting a mere youngster treat him is an insult to us.”

”Exactly, what does this young kid know about treatment? Even if we can’t do it, he can’t just shame us like this.”

These Divine Doctors held high status in the Immortal World, so seeing Lin Chen, they all looked on with disdain and contempt.

Despite always treating Li Tiancheng, they had been relegated to mere spectators now.

Most humiliatingly, they were being replaced by a young man in his twenties.

For these Divine Doctors accustomed to being revered in the Immortal World, it was unbearable.

”Divine Doctor Chen, you have been treating City Lord Li. How much confidence do you have in treating Old Li’s illness?” Fang Tianhua asked an elder beside him.

Chen Kai snorted coldly, ”City Lord Li has no particular physical anomalies, and this sudden pain, we can only nurture his body with True Qi.”

”Master Chen, do you think Old Li’s illness could be caused by Gu poison?” Fang Tianhua asked.

”Gu poison, how could that be? No one knows Gu practices in the Immortal World better than I do. If City Lord Li were afflicted by Gu poison, how could I not detect it? If it’s really Gu poison, then my thousand years of medical practice would mean nothing,” Chen Kai said confidently.

Upon hearing Chen Kai’s words, Fang Tianhua’s expression also darkened.

He and Li Tiancheng came from the same sect, with deep emotions between them. If Lin Chen were talking nonsense and harmed Li Tiancheng, he would make Lin Chen pay with his life.

Lin Chen’s gaze fell on Li Tianyou’s wound and said calmly, ”City Lord Li, I’m about to begin your treatment.”

Li Tiancheng nodded, biting a piece of wood between his teeth, ”Go ahead, I want to see what kind of Gu poison has been tormenting me so painfully all these years.”

Lin Chen smiled faintly, ”City Lord Li, there’s no need to be so worried. The procedure is simple, there’s no need to bite on wood.”
