Peerless Medical Emperor

”You have to understand, my medical skills are closely tied to my Inner Strength.” Chen Qingdi looked at Zi’s superior, a cunning glint in his eyes. He took the opportunity to threaten her. ”Without my Power, I won’t be able to treat those injured men.”

Beside them, Zi gritted her teeth in fury. She wanted to kill Chen Qingdi, but her superior stopped her. The superior was quite beautiful, and she smiled at Chen Qingdi like a viper luring its prey before devouring it.

”I am Fang, the administrator of this desolate island,” she said softly, every word filled with authority and charm. ”If you’re willing to continue treating the injured members sent by the Evil God Sect, I will marry you.”

Chen Qingdi felt a flicker of interest. He might be a healer, but he was also a man. However, he was not fooled by Fang’s words. Instead, he used his own Hypnosis on himself.

’Fang says I’m handsome.’ He closed his eyes, the corner of his mouth twisting into a mocking smile. ’In that case, I’ll imagine I’m the reincarnation of a pig-man.’

Fang’s words echoed in his mind like a spell. He began to imagine himself as a ridiculously ugly pig-man. At the same time, he pictured himself as a person full of flaws, someone who invited nothing but ridicule and contempt.

’For instance, Fang says she loves me to death,’ he continued to hypnotize himself. ’So I’ll imagine she’s telling me to drop dead every second.’

This kind of self-hypnosis was no easy feat, but Chen Qingdi’s willpower was far beyond that of a normal person. He fought to suppress the influence Fang exerted on him, using his own consciousness to resist her Charm Art.

After a difficult struggle, Chen Qingdi finally broke free of Fang’s control. He opened his eyes and looked at Fang and Zi, his heart filled with wariness.

”I’m not treating those injured men for you,” he said coldly. ”I’m treating them for the sake of the island’s residents and the members of the Evil God Sect.”

Fang’s expression flickered, but Chen Qingdi was no longer looking at her. He turned to Zi, his gaze carrying a sharp warning.

”Don’t try to control me with tricks like that,” he warned. ”My will cannot be swayed by you.”

Zi was so overwhelmed by his presence that she was momentarily speechless. Fang’s face had turned deathly pale; she clearly hadn’t expected Chen Qingdi to break free from her Charm Art so easily.

”Very good,” she said coldly. ”Since you’re so stubborn, don’t blame me for what happens next.”

Before the words were even out of her mouth, Fang suddenly attacked. Her figure moved like a ghost, appearing before Chen Qingdi in an instant.

But just as she was about to strike, she stopped herself. She had to hold back. Chen Qingdi was still useful; he couldn’t be allowed to die just yet.

After reigning in her temper, Fang, the mysterious administrator, suddenly reached into her pocket.

She was holding a pill that shimmered with a cold light. She stared at Chen Qingdi, this former master of the Martial Arts world, a strange glint in her eyes.

”Chen Qingdi, this pill can restore your Power,” Fang’s voice was low and mysterious. ”However, it will cost you.”

Chen Qingdi frowned. He knew, of course, that the price wouldn’t be simple.

He looked at the pill in Fang’s hand. It was made from a Demon Flower Strange Heart Insect. After consuming this insect, flowers would bloom on the person’s body. But once the flowers covered them completely, that person would be on the verge of death. It was like a curse, an inescapable fate.

”Is this... a Demon Flower Strange Heart Insect?” Chen Qingdi’s expression turned grim.

Fang nodded. ”Yes, Chen Qingdi. You need to swallow this pill, and your Power will be restored. But, you must also accept its curse.”

Chen Qingdi fell silent, weighing the cost of the deal. He knew that if he recovered his Power, he also had a way to cure himself of such after-effects. He took a deep breath, then looked at Fang. ”I accept.”

A flicker of surprise crossed Fang’s eyes. She looked at Chen Qingdi, then slowly nodded. ”Alright, Chen Qingdi. You’re ready, I take it.”

She handed the pill to Chen Qingdi. He took it and stared at it. It was a pill that emanated a bewitching light, seeming to pulse with a sinister glow.

Chen Qingdi took a deep breath and swallowed it in one gulp.

The pill dissolved in his mouth, an icy sensation spreading from his throat throughout his body.

He felt his body begin to tremble as a painful sensation spread from beneath his skin.

He clenched his jaw, struggling to endure the pain. Then, he felt his body begin to change.

Tiny cracks began to appear on his skin. They gradually widened, forming a pattern that resembled snakeskin.

His body began to tremble as a terrifying power surged from within him. It felt as if a hole had been torn open in his Dantian, and this power gushed out unceasingly.

”It’s... a constant leak...” Fang’s voice rang in his ear. ”No matter how much Power you cultivate, you won’t be able to store it. Your Dantian has been breached.”

Chen Qingdi struggled to endure the pain. Sweat beaded on his skin, and his heart pounded violently.

He felt his body about to give out, but he knew he couldn’t quit. He had to persevere, or he would lose everything.

Fang stood quietly beside him, her eyes filled with concern.

She knew the price of this deal was steep for Chen Qingdi, but she also knew it was the only way. She could only hope he would be able to pull through.

Time seemed to slow. Chen Qingdi felt his body being consumed by a terrifying power.

His heart pounded violently, and his body began to shake. He fought to stay conscious, but the pain was unbearable.

Suddenly, he felt his body begin to change again. The pain gradually subsided, and his heartbeat grew more stable. He could feel his Power returning as his Dantian began to store the energy once more.

He opened his eyes to see Fang watching him. A triumphant glint shone in her eyes. ”You succeeded, Chen Qingdi. Now you can go treat those injured men, can’t you?”

A faint smile touched Chen Qingdi’s lips. ”Yes, I succeeded.”

His body felt more powerful than ever; his Power had been restored to an unprecedented level. He knew he was ready to face the challenges to come.

Chen Qingdi was led to a high-security operating room. The man on the surgical table looked extremely weak and was in need of emergency treatment. Chen Qingdi took a deep breath and began the procedure.
