A miraculous doctor descended from the heavens.

"Hmph, all because of your perfunctory attitude. First, you squeezed and pressed it, startling it; then you took random medications, further irritating it. That's what caused it to become malignant." Gu Feng looked at him coldly. "Mr. Mayumoto, I'm asking you, have you seen a doctor recently? Did the doctor say you have melanoma, and that it has already metastasized, leaving you with no chance of surgery?"

Mayumoto's face turned deathly pale, as if all the bones had been removed from his body. He had no energy left to play tricks on Gu Feng. He could only nod obediently.

"We have an old saying: 'Heaven's sins may be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins are unforgivable.' I wonder if you understand it?"

Gu Feng stared intently at him, but inwardly he couldn't help but sneer.

I told you to stop your niece from scheming against me, I told you to call the police to deal with me, I told you to play dirty tricks behind my back.

If I don't make you guys suffer this time, I'll have wasted my life.

Mayubon remained silent for a long while. At this moment, all sense of status, dignity, and family honor were utterly meaningless. What use were those material possessions when one was about to lose their life?

Looking at her uncle, who used to be high and mighty and invincible, now being tormented like a pitiful wretch by Gu Feng's few words, Youcai felt a pang of pain in her heart.

She couldn't bear to watch any longer and said resentfully, "Gu Fengjun, didn't you just say you had a way to cure my uncle's illness?"

"Oh, right, I almost went off-topic." Gu Feng scratched his head and chuckled. But at this moment, no one but him could laugh.

Seeing everyone's serious faces, he couldn't continue his joking around. He cleared his throat and said solemnly, "The treatment method is like this. Modern medicine emphasizes early detection and early removal for this disease. If it's discovered too late, you can only prepare for the worst. But in ancient medicine, even in the late stage, there's still hope. I happen to have a unique ancestral prescription here, plus a set of acupuncture techniques."

Upon hearing there was hope, Youcai's eyes lit up, and she urged, "Gu Fengjun, since there's a way, let's hurry..."

"Don't rush, let me finish." Gu Feng raised his hand to interrupt her. "Although this disease is curable, it is by no means easy to cure. Let's talk about the acupuncture technique first. To put it bluntly, this acupuncture technique is against the will of Heaven, and it has extremely strict requirements for conditions. The right time, the right place... in words you can understand, the environment, the air, the humidity, all have to meet the standards."

He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and continued, "Before the acupuncture, the patient must bathe and purify themselves, and then fast and chant Buddhist scriptures for eight hours. Afterwards, they must take off their clothes, lie face down, and face the door!"

The three women's minds went blank for a moment, and they couldn't react at all!

Gu Feng, seemingly oblivious to their expressions, continued in a serious tone: "Once everything is prepared, we'll begin the acupuncture. I'll use twenty-four silver needles to insert into the patient's body. The principle behind this acupuncture technique is 'poison extraction'—what you call melanin. But the toxins in different parts of the body are different, so the time it takes to remove each needle will also vary. This requires twenty-four people, and they must be blood relatives of the patient. Those without blood relation cannot be used. Have them stand on both sides, each watching one needle. Once the needle turns completely black, remove it immediately. If you're even slightly careless and miss the opportune moment, not only will all your efforts be wasted, but you'll also be completely beyond cure."

He paused, glancing at the group: "As for why it has to be a blood relative, that's a family secret I can't tell you. In short, this treatment is troublesome for doctors, troublesome for patients, and even relatives and friends have to go through all that trouble."

Gu Feng's mouth was dry from talking, so he stopped to take a sip of tea.

The group of people, including Youcai, were completely dumbfounded. Being naked and lying on the ground was bad enough, but having a bunch of relatives watching while they pulled out the needles? This didn't seem like traditional Chinese medicine; it looked more like a shamanistic ritual.

But they couldn't refute it. Because Gu Feng had just described Mayu Benyi's condition in such detail, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

This skill is enough to make them dare not question it.

"Gu Fengjun, this acupuncture technique is so complicated... what about the prescription? Is it simpler?" Youcai asked, forcing herself to stay calm.

"Wrong." Gu Feng shook his head, his expression becoming even more serious. "This prescription is a unique, long-lost secret. Apart from my Gu family, there is no other branch in the world. Anyone who says there is is absolutely lying. This prescription was painstakingly developed by generations of my Gu family ancestors through countless hardships and painstaking efforts. It requires eighty-one herbs as a guide, then three hundred and sixty-five kinds of medicinal materials are carefully blended, baked for forty-nine hours, and then..."

He paused for a moment, realizing that continuing the story would turn into absorbing the essence of the sun and moon and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so he simply waved his hand: "...Anyway, it's too troublesome to explain, and you wouldn't understand anyway. But you don't need to worry about the medicine; I'll handle it myself. It's just that all these medicinal herbs are rare, some are priceless. Well..."

Finally, he began to stammer.

Mayumoto understood perfectly well. He quickly winked at the rapeseed.

Although the rapeseed understood, it was somewhat unwilling.

The more she listened, the more uncertain it seemed, but her uncle was extremely anxious beside her, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Gu Fengjun, don't worry. We have already prepared one hundred taels of gold according to your rules."

"One hundred taels?" Gu Feng frowned, then muttered to himself, "One hundred taels is a bit little. But as a deposit... considering we were once seated together, it's barely enough."

"A deposit?" Youcai's voice suddenly became shrill. "One hundred taels is just a deposit?"

"Yes." Gu Feng nodded.

"How much will it cost in total?" Rapeseed was sweating profusely.

"One thousand taels." Gu Feng replied without hesitation.

"Huh?" Youcai's eyes widened slightly.

"One thousand taels each time. Seven or eight treatments in total should be enough," Gu Feng added.

"Ah—ah—ah—!" Youcai screamed. Looking at her uncle again, she saw that his eyes had rolled back and he had passed out.
