The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 311 Arrogant and Rebellious Child

With me here, you won't go blind!

His arrogant and domineering tone caused many imperial physicians to shake their heads and wave their hands. Even if they knew what to do, they dared not make such a guarantee, saying that with him around, the blindness would not be a problem.

Everyone knows how important eyes are, but doctors often have all sorts of concerns. Even Dr. Ou, who once treated patients with glaucoma, couldn't say for sure that he could cure it, let alone others.

Even folk doctors and so-called famous doctors will leave themselves an out and will not tell the whole story.

But Lang Jiuchuan, at such a young age, dared to say such things.

Zeng Jichuan had a privileged upbringing and was a wealthy young man. He had once been arrogant and domineering in his youth. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but think to himself, "What a big mouth you have. What makes you think you can do this?"
But shamefully, he was still thrilled by those words, his heart pounding wildly with excitement.

It's highly unlikely, but what if it works?
Zeng Jichuan still wanted to believe that there were geniuses in the world, but he just hadn't met them yet, just like the particularly thin-looking little girl in front of him.

Actually, Zeng Jichuan's eyes were blurry, so he couldn't see Lang Jiuchuan's appearance clearly. If he could see her face, he would probably think that the other party was even more unreliable.

She was so weak and powerless; it was hard to believe she was a miracle doctor.

After the initial excitement subsided, Zeng Jichuan gradually calmed down and said, "Old Shen told me that you know some mystical arts. Are you planning to use these mystical arts to cure my eye disease?"

"How could that be? Even if the Taoist arts could grant you sight, I couldn't do that for you," Lang Jiuchuan said. "To see with Taoist arts, I would cast a spell on you to temporarily allow you to see without your eyes, but that also requires the caster's cultivation and spiritual power. No matter how much we are connected, I can't possibly keep depleting my cultivation and spiritual power indefinitely for your sake, not even if you gave me your entire fortune. Cultivation is difficult, and accumulating spiritual power is even harder!"

Zeng Jichuan's lips twitched. She said this with great confidence and it was easy to understand. In short, it could be summed up in three words: You are not worthy!

He touched his nose sheepishly and said, "Can Taoist magic make people see? You're so arrogant, do your parents know about this..."

As he was speaking, his pupils suddenly contracted. Although it was blurry, he clearly felt fingers pointing towards his eyebrows. He felt dizzy and instinctively closed his eyes and leaned back.

He felt a slight tingling between his eyebrows. He reached out to touch it and found it was a little hot, but he couldn't feel anything. He suddenly opened his eyes and froze when he saw what was there.

Before me stood a slender young girl with a pale face, making her appear quite fragile. She wore a lake-blue spring dress, with a belt cinching her waist so thin it looked as if it would break at any moment. Her hands were long and slender, and on her thin wrists hung a string of crystal-clear beads, the beads shimmering with a hint of light gold, making them extremely eye-catching.

But what was most striking were her eyes. They were large and dark, with an astonishing brightness. In all his long life, he had never seen a pair of eyes with such spirit.

“This, this…” Zeng Jichuan blinked blankly.

Shen Qinghe sensed something was wrong and saw his friend staring at Lang Jiuchuan, so he waved his hand in front of him, but Zeng Jichuan slapped it away.

"Old Zeng, can you see it now?"

Zeng Jichuan swallowed hard, forcing himself to remain calm as he asked, "Yes, what's going on? How can my eyes see?"

This is the magical Taoist art of the Xuanmen (mystical sects), where one can see without taking medicine or moving one's eyes?

Zeng Jichuan was overjoyed and trembled with excitement.

"I'm just using the Eye-Opening Technique to temporarily open your Heavenly Eye, oh, that is, the Yin-Yang Eye. The things you can see are all thanks to this eye," Lang Jiuchuan said. "The Yin-Yang Eye has a time limit; it won't stay open forever, otherwise you'll find it troublesome." "What trouble? I can overcome it all," Zeng Jichuan immediately replied.

Lang Jiuchuan said, "What is the Yin-Yang Eye? It means that you can see both the living and the dead. In other words, in the next few days, you will not only be able to see the living, but also the dead."

Zeng Jichuan froze, then said awkwardly, "Dead people are just like that. Can they be more terrifying than people?"

"If you have strong Yang energy and are a high-ranking official who frequently enters and leaves the capital, you will naturally be protected by imperial and righteous energy, and ghosts will indeed be more afraid of you. However, there are also ghosts that are not afraid of death. If they can see you and you can see them, they will keep bothering you and talking incessantly in your ear. You will be extremely annoyed and even unable to sleep at night, which is not good for your health."

Before Lang Jiuchuan could finish speaking, he delivered another blow: "Moreover, opening the Yin-Yang technique also requires casting a spell, just like I mentioned before. If I keep you with this eye open, do I need to expend spiritual energy?"

Zeng Jichuan's smile vanished as if he had been doused with a bucket of ice water.

He looked at Lang Jiuchuan; her health didn't look good, and it was indeed impossible to keep her expending her spiritual energy.

"Then why are you opening my eyes?"

"Didn't you not believe me?" Lang Jiuchuan said innocently, "So I'm too lazy to waste my breath arguing with you. I might as well let you see for yourself. It's better than others saying a thousand words, isn't it?"

Zeng Jichuan, who had dominated the officialdom for half his life, was speechless for the first time, and it was a young girl who left him speechless.

Is this how you use the phrase "open your eyes"?
Well, I've certainly learned something new.

Seeing his friend's discomfiture, Shen Qinghe smiled and said, "Xiao Jiu, if we're not using divination, how do we cure it?"

"The Golden Needle Removal Technique," Lang Jiuchuan said without hesitation. "Isn't this technique used for blindness? It's such a simple matter; just remove it with a golden needle. Why waste spiritual energy like that?"

Is it easy to accumulate spiritual energy? No matter how much silver you offer, she wouldn't trade it.

Now it was Shen Qinghe's turn to be speechless. After exchanging a glance with Zeng Jichuan, he said, "Of course we know about this technique. We originally wanted to ask the Imperial Physician Ou to perform it, but he is getting old and his hands are not as steady as before, so he didn't dare to do it. The Ou family has been practicing medicine for generations, and it's good that they have a grandson to carry on their legacy, but he doesn't have much confidence either."

Zeng Jichuan nodded: "That's right. I've also seen a lot of doctors. Some of them dare to do it, but none of them can guarantee that they will succeed, which is why they hesitate."

Lang Jiuchuan could understand. That's how doctors are. Even if they are 100% sure, they have to keep some things to themselves to avoid ruining their reputation or having no way out.

She should be like that too, but that's not her personality.

“I will only promise and guarantee what I can do, and I will tell the truth about what I cannot do. I understand their concerns, it is a gamble.” Lang Jiuchuan said, “Actually, if you really agree to let me use this technique, it is also a gamble, but I will not be as afraid of retaliation if I fail as they are.”

"Oh?"

"Don't take on a job you're not qualified for. Since you've taken it on, you must have considered the consequences of failure." Lang Jiuchuan's rebellious nature stirred, and he laughed, "If I do it and fail, and you and the Zeng family seek revenge, that would be repaying kindness with enmity and becoming my enemy. I don't show mercy to my enemies, so you should think carefully, sir."
