High Martial Arts: Integrating with Super AI, Unrivaled and Unstoppable!
Chapter 40: From death to life!
Li Xuanhu stepped forward, looked at Jiang Qingtian, and said in a deep voice:
"Master Jiang, Old Master Jiang's life force has been cut off. Even if we, the most renowned doctors in the country, gather together, we can only barely keep him alive."
Even top-tier martial arts masters from Huayang are reluctant to participate for fear of damaging their reputations; sending a mere youth to interfere is far too frivolous.
Xia Zhiwei stepped forward to block Lu Xuan's path and said loudly:
"I don't think so. Mr. Lu can identify poison at a glance and has even saved the Xie family patriarch. He must have extraordinary abilities."
Chen Hui immediately stepped forward to protect Lu Xuan, shouting loudly:
"Beautiful women have good taste; you old codger have absolutely no taste!"
An uproar erupted instantly, with voices of doubt and ridicule rising and falling.
"I don't believe it! It was clearly the legendary doctor Huayang who saved Old Master Xie!"
"Exactly! How could someone so young be more skilled than a master of traditional Chinese medicine!"
"They clearly stole the credit from the legendary healer Huayang and are now trying to swindle people at the Jiang family!"
"Bullshit!"
Chen Hui roared angrily, his eyes sharp as knives:
"How could you mere mortals possibly understand my brother Xuan's abilities? If you're so ignorant, shut your mouths and stop barking!"
Jiang Xingwan ran quickly to Lu Xuan, opened her small arms to protect him tightly, and called out in a clear voice:
"I believe Dr. Lu can cure Grandpa! You are not allowed to bully him!"
Jiang Qingtian's face darkened, and his aura suddenly intensified as he sternly shouted to stop him:
"Enough! Mr. Lu is a guest I personally invited. Anyone who dares to say another word will be kicked out of the Jiang family immediately and never allowed to set foot here again!"
The ward fell silent instantly, everyone trembling with fear, yet their gazes toward Lu Xuan remained full of disdain and mockery.
Jiang Qingtian suppressed his anger, turned sideways and bowed respectfully:
"Dr. Lu, please treat my father."
Ignoring all the gazes around him, Lu Xuan walked steadily to the bedside.
With just a glance, he could tell that Old Master Jiang had completely died and was devoid of any life.
Li Xuanhu stepped forward, shook his head at Jiang Qingtian, his tone firm yet subtly sarcastic:
"Master Jiang, there's no need to waste your time. The old master has already passed away. Even if a god descended to earth, he couldn't bring him back to life."
Xia Zhiwei bent down to examine for a moment, then echoed in a deep voice:
"The old man's vital signs have completely disappeared; there's really no hope for him."
Jiang Qilin's face was contorted with rage as he pointed at Lu Xuan and began to curse:
"It's all your fault for deliberately putting on airs and stalling for time. Now that my grandfather is dead, what's the point of you trying to treat him!"
Jiang's relatives rushed to the bedside, weeping and wailing, tears streaming down their faces.
"Grandpa, how could you just leave like this!"
The renowned doctors nearby whispered amongst themselves, a smug smile playing on their lips, making snide remarks.
"It's good that he's dead. It saves him the trouble of trying to cure the illness and being exposed and embarrassed on the spot. He was just a fraudster anyway."
Jiang Xingwan held her grandfather's cold, stiff hand, tears streaming down her face.
She turned her head and clung tightly to Lu Xuan's clothes, sobbing as she pleaded:
"Uncle Doctor Lu, please save Grandpa. I don't want Grandpa to leave me."
Jiang Qingtian's eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse and dry: "Xingwan, Grandpa is gone. Accept reality."
"I don't believe it!"
Jiang Xingwan, her eyes brimming with tears, looked up at Lu Xuan with unwavering devotion, her voice filled with a stubborn expectation:
"Uncle Doctor Lu, you can definitely save Grandpa, right?"
Lu Xuan looked down at the little girl, his expression remaining calm and composed, his tone firm and resolute:
"Yes, there's hope."
The entire audience erupted in chaos.
Li Xuanhu sneered, his face full of disdain and mockery:
"That's utterly absurd! To bring someone who's completely dead back to life is utterly ridiculous, a complete fantasy!"
The crowd surged forward, and a torrent of questioning and angry shouts erupted.
"Bringing the dead back to life? That's the work of a god!"
"A madman! This kid is completely insane, a total fraud!"
Xia Zhiwei was shocked. She quickly stepped forward and couldn't help but ask:
"Mr. Lu, the old man is already beyond saving. You...you really can revive him?"
Lu Xuan nodded, ignoring the surrounding noise. With a slight movement of his fingertips, several silver needles gleaming with cold light instantly landed on his fingertips.
With a slight twist of his wrist and a lightning-fast movement, before anyone could even see what was happening, several needles had already been firmly inserted into the acupoints on Jiang Zhenxiong's brain, leaving only a faint shadow.
A sharp-eyed doctor in the crowd immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"This is the unique acupuncture technique of the legendary physician Huayang! How dare he steal it and use it to swindle people here!"
"He only stole a few rudimentary techniques and dares to pretend to be a miracle doctor? It's utterly laughable!"
"You're spouting nonsense! Watch your mouth!"
Chen Hui stepped forward, blocking Lu Xuan's path, and shouted angrily.
Li Xuanhu's face was icy cold. He stepped forward, pointed directly at Lu Xuan, and rebuked him sharply:
"You impersonated Hua Yang's disciple and stole his unique acupuncture techniques. Aren't you afraid of bringing disaster upon yourself?"
The crowd swarmed around them instantly, and shouts of abuse rose and fell.
"He's a fraud! Get him out of here, don't let him dirty the Jiang family's land!"
"You bunch of quack doctors who can't cure people, you not only fail to heal them but also slander them, have you no shame!"
Chen Hui stepped in front of Lu Xuan, retorting to each of the crowd without giving an inch.
Lu Xuan slowly withdrew the needles, his expression calm and composed, and spoke softly:
"Huayang is not my master."
Li Xuanhu scoffed, his face full of disdain:
"At least you have some self-awareness. Hua Yang is a man of great stature; why would he accept a fool like you?"
Lu Xuan raised his eyes, his cold gaze sweeping across the entire room, each word spoken clearly and forcefully:
"Huayang? He's my apprentice."
The entire room froze instantly; you could hear a pin drop.
The next second, a burst of laughter erupted, and the mocking voices swept through the entire ward.
"He brags without even thinking! It's utterly absurd and laughable!"
"How dare you utter such arrogant words when you know nothing of your own limitations!"
"The Divine Physician Huayang is a master of medicine, how could he possibly have such a young master?"
"Shut up, all of you! Who is Hua Yang? Taking him as a disciple is only because my brother Xuan thinks highly of him!"
Chen Hui clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, glared at the entire room, and let out a sharp shout that silenced all the noise.
Li Xuanhu was so angry that his face turned ashen, his beard trembled, and he pointed at Lu Xuan, shouting:
"Ignorant brat, utterly arrogant! How dare you insult my friend, Mr. Huayang, in public!"
"What are you barking like a dog?"
Chen Hui immediately retorted angrily, his tone showing no politeness whatsoever.
Li Xuanhu's eyes were resolute as he publicly made the bet, his voice firm and powerful:
"Fine! I'll take this bet with you today! If you can really save the old man, I'll kowtow and admit my mistake on the spot, and from now on I'll give up acupuncture and medicine and never touch the medical arts again!"
If this is merely a ploy to attract attention and tarnish Huayang's reputation, you won't leave the Jiang family unscathed today!
He was absolutely certain that Jiang Zhenxiong's heart had already stopped beating and his life force had dissipated, making him no different from a dead man and beyond saving. Lu Xuan was bound to lose.
Chen Hui immediately stepped forward and glared angrily at Li Xuanhu:
"Fine! I'll bet you! If my brother Xuan heals the old man, you'll keep your promise and kowtow to seal the needles!"
If my brother Xuan loses, I, Chen Hui, will bear all the consequences alone, and you can do whatever you want with me!
Li Xuanhu glanced at him coldly, his face full of contempt:
"You think you're worthy to gamble with me?"
Chen Hui was burning with rage, and he gritted his teeth and growled:
"You old fool, don't go too far!"
Li Xuanhu stopped looking at him, his gaze fixed on Lu Xuan, pressing closer step by step, his tone full of provocation:
"Lu Xuan, Divine Physician Lu, what's wrong? You're afraid to gamble?"
Lu Xuan's eyes were calm, without the slightest ripple, and he uttered two words indifferently:
"Okay, let's bet."
As soon as he finished speaking, his fingertips trembled slightly, and a gentle yet powerful aura slowly flowed into Old Master Jiang's body through his fingertips.
The elderly person had already lost all signs of life and had completely stopped breathing, so the recovery of life was naturally slow.
Lu Xuan moved gently, his expression remaining calm and indifferent, as if the surrounding noise, ridicule, and doubts had nothing to do with him.
A few seconds passed, and the medical instrument still showed a cold, straight line. The piercing alarm echoed in the ward, making people's eardrums ache.
The crowd's mockery erupted, and their words became increasingly sarcastic.
"It was just a charade, completely useless!"
"The fake goods have been completely exposed; get out of the Jiang family immediately!"
"A bunch of frogs in a well, just wait until they get a good slap in the face!"
Chen Hui spread his arms wide, protecting Lu Xuan tightly and preventing anyone from getting any closer.
Lu Xuan's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile as he spoke softly:
"Bio-pulse, nano-repair, quantum regression, activation."
Almost simultaneously, Li Xuanhu sneered disdainfully, his tone full of confidence:
"What a pretentious act! This person is dead; unless a god descends to earth, no one can bring him back to life!"
The words had barely left his mouth—
"Beep—beep—beep—!"
The piercing alarm stopped abruptly.
On the instrument screen, a regular and stable electrocardiogram curve appeared instantly, and all vital signs quickly returned to normal values.
The next second, Jiang Zhenxiong, who had been lifeless, suddenly sat up, gasping for breath.
His complexion quickly regained its color, and he casually moved his neck with his hand, his breathing steady and powerful, showing no trace of the weakness of someone on the verge of death.
Jiang Qingtian strode forward, his voice trembling uncontrollably:
"Dad! How are you feeling?"
Jiang Zhenxiong let out a long sigh of relief, looking extremely pleased:
"I feel much better. My whole body feels relaxed and refreshed, and I feel extremely comfortable."
The entire venue was deathly silent.
The crowd stood frozen in place, eyes wide with shock, unable to utter a sound. The mockery on their faces remained, completely transformed into disbelief.
Li Xuanhu's body stiffened, his face turned ashen, and he staggered backward, muttering in a daze:
"Impossible... He was clearly dead, how could he be brought back to life..."
Lu Xuan looked at him calmly, his tone indifferent and devoid of any emotion:
"Now, do you believe me?"
Just then, the butler, Wang Zhong, rushed in, his forehead covered in cold sweat, and his voice trembling as he reported:
"Master! We've contacted the Divine Physician Huayang! He wouldn't dare come!"
He said he would never practice medicine without his master's permission! His master's name was Lu Xuan!
The entire audience was stunned, completely dumbfounded, and frozen in place, unable to move.
The crowd that had been mocking and insulting him instantly blushed, lowered their heads in shame, and wished they could disappear into the ground.
"The master of the legendary physician Huayang...it really is him..."
Chen Hui raised his eyebrows triumphantly, surveying the crowd with a smug look, his tone full of satisfaction:
"Now you know how powerful my Brother Xuan is? Weren't you all shouting so enthusiastically just now?"
Jiang Xingwan's eyes lit up, and she clapped and cheered excitedly:
"Dr. Lu is amazing!"
Jiang Qingtian was filled with awe, and Jiang Zhenxiong was filled with gratitude. They looked at Lu Xuan and said in a deep voice:
"The Jiang family will never forget the immense kindness of Doctor Lu in saving our lives!"
Li Xuanhu's hands were trembling uncontrollably, but he still stubbornly insisted on his point:
"This...this is only a temporary reprieve! It's not a complete cure!"
But looking at Jiang Zhenxiong in front of him, who was able to walk and talk and was full of energy, he racked his brains but could not find any excuse to refute him.
Jiang Zhenxiong slowly stood up and solemnly cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you so much, Dr. Lu, for saving my life."
Jiang Xingwan ran to the side, her eyes full of admiration: "Thank you, Uncle Dr. Lu!"
Jiang Qilin, standing to the side, had a complex expression. Suppressing the gloom in his heart, he bowed and whispered, "Thank you, Divine Doctor Lu."
All the members of the Jiang family present stepped forward, bowed, and expressed their gratitude.
Li Xuanhu staggered forward, his steps unsteady:
"I don't believe it! I'll check it myself!"
After a thorough examination, his last shred of hope vanished completely, his face turned ashen, and all his strength dissipated.
Xia Zhiwei spoke coldly, her tone carrying a hint of aloofness:
"Li Xuanhu, the divine doctor, has finished his examination. Let's lose with some dignity."
Li Xuanhu's legs went weak, and he knelt down with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly to Lu Xuan, his voice filled with guilt and despair:
"Dr. Lu, I was blind and offended you. I am willing to honor our bet and abandon acupuncture and medicine from now on!"
Chen Hui added insult to injury with a sharp retort, his tone full of disdain:
"Blind as a bat, serves them right!"
Jiang Qingtian bowed deeply to Lu Xuan, his posture extremely respectful:
"Mr. Lu, we will never forget your life-saving grace. Please feel free to ask for anything!"
Lu Xuan nodded slightly, casually put away the silver needles, turned and left, his tone indifferent:
"I'm only doing this because of my sister and your daughter."
As soon as she left the ward, Xia Zhiwei quickly caught up with Lu Xuan, bowed deeply, and spoke earnestly:
"Mr. Lu, I wish to become your disciple. Please grant my request."
Lu Xuan paused slightly, glanced at her sideways, and spoke calmly:
"Beat Huayang first, then come find me."
A determined light flashed in Xia Zhiwei's eyes, and she nodded emphatically:
"I will!"
Chen Hui followed closely behind Lu Xuan, never leaving his side, his face full of pride.
Jiang Qingtian quickly caught up, his attitude becoming even more respectful:
"Mr. Lu, I've arranged a car to take you home."
Please do me the honor of accepting this Heavenly Decree from Jiangjia Town.
Showing this token, as if the Jiang family patriarch himself were present, would likely offer some assistance!
After saying that, he personally stepped forward, opened the car door, and raised his hand to protect the top of the door, afraid that Lu Xuan would hit his head.
"Mr. Lu, please get in the car."
"Xiao Hui, let's go!"
"Alright, Brother Xuan, it's so satisfying to roast people like this! I would never have dared to roast people like this before! Especially a group of nationally renowned doctors, hahaha!"
"Whatever makes you happy!"
Lu Xuan calmly got into the car, and Chen Hui followed him inside.
The luxury car slowly drove away from the Jiang family mansion, and its silhouette gradually disappeared into the distance.
Jiang Qilin, standing in the corner, had a gloomy face, his knuckles clenched tightly, and his eyes were filled with a chilling coldness.
He will never forget the humiliation and loss of face he suffered in public today.
He muttered to himself in a cold, silent voice:
Now that this bastard has the protection of my second uncle and grandfather, I'll hold back for now and not provoke him.
But we will meet again someday. Sooner or later, I will seize the opportunity to avenge my humiliation and torment him severely!
