The game had already been set up; Fan Xian, Wang Qinian, and Teng Zijing were all pawns in Chen Pingping's hands.

The only difference is that Fan Xian is Ye Qingmei's son.

Chen Pingping would never harm Fan Xian; on the contrary, he would do everything in his power to protect him.

All of these arrangements seemed so ingenious and unfathomable.

At this moment, Fan Xian was unaware that he had stepped into a trap carefully woven by Chen Pingping.

After reading the document, his heart sank: "Oh no!"

"I'll take my leave, villain."

Wang Qinian made his graceful exit, even taking two pastries with him. It was as if he would be missing out if he didn't take advantage of the situation.

As soon as Wang Qinian left, Teng Zijing, who had been hiding in the shadows, immediately revealed himself.

Upon seeing the contents of the document, Teng Zijing was struck dumb, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot as he resolved to kill Guo Baokun to avenge his wife and children.

To avoid implicating Fan Xian, he deliberately caused a scene with him to sever their relationship, and then left alone.

Fan Xian sensed something was wrong and hurriedly sought out Fan Ruoruo to inquire about Guo Baokun's recent whereabouts.

Upon learning that Guo Baokun frequented brothels along the Liujing River, he immediately set off to intercept Teng Zijing.

However, in order to avoid suspicion, he contacted the heir apparent of Prince Jing in advance.

Meanwhile, the poetry gathering at Prince Jing's residence ended.

Lin Mu and Si Lili rode side by side, slowly making their way through the streets of Kyoto.

Si Lili turned her head to the side, her eyes as clear as water, and said softly, "Young Master's poem 'Ascending the Heights' today will surely spread throughout the capital tomorrow, and your literary fame will soar."

Lin Mu simply smiled and said, "A poetic reputation is nothing but an illusion; it's better to do something practical."

Si Lili raised an eyebrow and asked with interest, "What does Young Master wish to do?"

"I have heard that the Prime Minister's daughter, Lin Wan'er, has been ill for a long time and is difficult to cure. I have some medical knowledge and would like to give it a try."

Lin Mu spoke calmly, but a sly glint flashed in his eyes, "If we can cure her, it will be a favor to the Prime Minister."

Of course, personal connections are just an excuse.

He just wanted to see if contacting Lin Wan'er and Lin Ruofu could trigger a side quest in the system.

Si Lili chuckled softly, her voice as gentle as a feather: "Young Master is indeed extraordinary; your thoughts and considerations are always beyond expectation."

The two arrived at the Lin residence, presented their visiting cards, and claimed that they could cure difficult and complicated diseases.

Seeing Lin Mu's composed demeanor and Si Lili's extraordinary beauty, the gatekeeper dared not be negligent and hurriedly went inside to announce their arrival.

Before long, Lin Gong, the second young master of the Lin family, strode out.

He sized up Lin Mu a few times, his face showing doubt: "You are so young, do you really know medicine? Even the imperial physicians are helpless with my sister's illness."

Lin Mu remained calm and composed: "The skill of a doctor is not determined by age, but by comprehension. If you cannot alleviate Miss's symptoms, then you are free to leave it to the Prime Minister's residence to deal with."

As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Gong indifferently.

This is the person who later planned the assassination attempt on Niulan Street and killed Teng Zijing.

[It doesn't even trigger a side quest, what a piece of junk.]

After internally ranting, Lin Mu remained calm on the surface, and suddenly spoke up: "In addition, I have noticed that Young Master Lin has a hidden ailment."

Lin Gong's expression changed: "What hidden illness?"

Lin Mu said in a low voice, in a voice only the two of them could hear, "You have kidney deficiency."

"Impossible! You're lying! I didn't!"

Lin Gong was immediately enraged and shouted, "Guards! Throw this quack doctor out!"

Lin Mu remained calm and said, "I can cure it."

"……and many more!"

Lin Gong abruptly raised his hand to stop the servant who was about to step forward, pulled Lin Mu aside, and lowered his voice: "Can you really cure him?"

"Of course. But since the Second Young Master doesn't believe me, then I'll take my leave."

Lin Mu made a gesture as if to turn around.

Lin Gong quickly grabbed him, her tone softening: "Please wait, doctor! I'm sorry, I admit I was too loud just now, please don't take it to heart... Please save me, sir!"

In his youth, he frequented brothels, unaware of his condition at the time. He had sex seven times in one night, which left him with health problems. Now, in his prime, he is beginning to lose his strength.

Lin Mu casually took out a bottle of Viagra from his system space and handed it over: "Take one pill at a time. Do not drink alcohol on the day you take the medicine."

Lin Gong took the strange little bottle. Although he couldn't understand the winding characters on it, he had a feeling that this thing was extraordinary. His attitude changed immediately: "I was blind. You are indeed a divine doctor! Please forgive me and treat my sister."

·· ···Requesting flowers· ·······

Lin Mu straightened his sleeves and said calmly, "A doctor should have a benevolent heart; how can he stand by and watch someone die? Lead the way."

"Please follow me, sir."

Lin Gong personally led the way, guiding Lin Mu and Si Lili through several courtyards to Lin Wan'er's residence, "Ningxiang Garden".

The garden is filled with the delicate fragrance of flowers, and is quiet and elegant.

Inside the room, Lin Wan'er leaned against the couch, coughing softly, her breath weak.

As she was an unmarried young lady, a thin veil hung in front of her bed, through which her slender figure could be vaguely seen.

Lin Mu sat down in front of the couch: "Please extend your hand, Miss."

Upon hearing Lin Mu's words, Lin Wan'er slowly extended her slender wrist and placed it on the soft wrist rest.

Lin Mu took the pulse with three fingers and carefully examined it.

At that very moment, a system notification rang out crisply in my mind:

[Ding! Contact with the destined character Lin Wan'er has triggered a side quest: Heal Lin Wan'er]

[Mission Objective: Cure Lin Wan'er's congenital tuberculosis within one year.]

[Task Reward: Randomly selected.]

..... ..... 0

As expected of the female lead, she immediately gave me a mission upon contact.

After a moment, Lin Mu stopped and pondered: "Miss's pulse is weak and dry, as thin as a spider's thread. It is not an ordinary lung disease, but a congenital tuberculosis. The circulation of qi and blood is not smooth, which is dragging down the lungs and internal organs."

Lin Gong nodded: "What you say is right, sir. The imperial physician also said so, but no one can cure it!"

"I can cure it."

Lin Mu said with certainty, "Although this disease is troublesome, it is not incurable. I have a special medicine here that can show results within a month and cure the disease in six months."

He took out a tuberculosis medication he had brought from the Spider-Man world, explained its usage in detail, and added, "In addition, starting today, give Miss Lin a bowl of raw goat milk every day. Remember, it must be raw, the fresher the better."

Raw goat milk is rich in nutrients such as protein, calcium, and vitamins. It nourishes the stomach and can enhance immunity, promote bone health, improve gastrointestinal health, and greatly aid in the recovery from tuberculosis.

Recalling Lin Wan'er's dietary issues in the original storyline, Lin Mu turned to look at the head maid beside him and asked, "How is Miss's diet on a daily basis?"

The head maid was thinking about goat milk when she heard this and proudly replied, "Every day it's just plain porridge and side dishes; we've never had a single bite of meat."

"wrong."

Lin Mu shook his head: "Although congee and side dishes are good for the stomach, they are not nutritious enough. How can the illness be cured?"

"You must eat meat and fish to strengthen your body."

"If you do not adapt well, you can crush one ounce each of raw yam and raw Job's tears and cook them until soft, then add half an ounce of persimmon frost cake and mix well before taking it."

"Eating chicken legs occasionally can be good for your physical and mental health."

Lin Gong hesitated for a moment: "But the imperial physician said..."

"If the imperial physicians could cure her, Miss's illness would have been cured long ago."

Lin Mu interrupted Lin Gong, saying in an unquestionable tone, "Do as I say. Your daily diet must be more varied. I'll write down a medicinal diet recipe for you later. Just follow the instructions."

Medicine and martial arts are interconnected. Lin Mu's cultivation has reached the Celestial Realm, and he has a thorough understanding of the human body. In addition, when he was in the World's Number One World, he used the Golden Eye to recall the memories of some medical masters, so his medical skills are already quite remarkable.

With the addition of a special medicine, curing Lin Wan'er will be a piece of cake.

The real fear is that these family members will think they're being clever and ignore medical advice, only to blame the doctor when the patient doesn't recover.

That would be too animalistic! (A few.)

Chapter 82: Re-entering the Drunken Immortal Abode

After Lin Mu diagnosed and prescribed medicine for Lin Wan'er, he quietly channeled a wisp of cosmic energy into her body, nourishing her weak constitution.

In a short while, a faint blush appeared on Lin Wan'er's pale cheeks. Although she was not completely healed, her breathing was noticeably smoother, and her eyes regained their sparkle. She was no longer as frail and delicate as before.

Lin Gong watched this clearly from the side, feeling both surprised and respectful, and his attitude became even more respectful.

He personally escorted Lin Mu and Si Lili out of the Prime Minister's residence, and offered an exceptionally generous consultation fee. He whispered, "Mr. Lin's miraculous healing skills will be remembered by everyone in the Prime Minister's residence. If you need anything in the future, just come to the Prime Minister's residence. Lin Gong will do his best to help without hesitation."

"Sure, please."

Lin Mu left with Si Lili.

Soon, the news that Lin Mu had come to the Prime Minister's residence to treat Lin Wan'er spread like wildfire and reached the ears of some people with ulterior motives.

Emperor Qing, the Eldest Princess, the Crown Prince, and the Second Prince all reacted differently.

Lin Mu, however, did not care about the political winds in the court. After returning to the Lin residence, he took out the Yitian Sword and the replica of the Fenji Sword.

He handed the Yitian Sword to Si Lili and said, "Your physique and internal strength have already surpassed those of ordinary ninth-rank masters, but your moves are still lacking in refinement."

"I have a set of 'Poet Immortal Sword Preface' which was created by observing the artistic conception of the poems of the past and incorporating it into the way of swordsmanship."

"The momentum of '850' is like the Milky Way pouring down, and its meaning is like the bright moon shining on the great river, which is just right for your cultivation."

"Okay."

With that, Lin Mu flicked his wrist, and the pseudo-Fenji sword was drawn from its sheath, dancing gracefully in the courtyard, as if Li Bai had descended to earth, unrestrained and free.

As the sword light flowed, it drew clear and visible streaks in the air, each imbued with profound sword intent!

He recited the poem aloud, his voice rising and falling with intonation, actually incorporating sword techniques and inner cultivation methods into the verses:

"Zhao guest wears a silk tassel, Wu hook shines like frost and snow!"

The sword moves like a dragon or snake, its light flashing, seemingly sketching a chilling image of a chivalrous swordsman wielding a blade covered in frost and snow.

"A silver saddle shines on a white horse, swift as a shooting star!"

The sword tip suddenly shone brightly, like a silver-saddled white horse breaking through the air, its speed as fast as lightning, its momentum as powerful as a rainbow, elegant and graceful, swift as a shooting star!

"Kill one person in ten steps and leave no trace in a thousand miles!"

The moment these words were uttered, a sharp and chilling aura instantly filled the air. Though it lasted only a moment, it caused the surrounding air to freeze, and a bone-chilling cold permeated the atmosphere. Even pedestrians on the street outside the mansion shivered inexplicably, looking around, wondering where the chill came from.

Si Lili was already engrossed in watching.

She saw the sword intent and light flowing in the air, like a master calligrapher wielding his brush, each stroke deeply engraved in her mind.

What shocked her even more was that the mental techniques and incantations embedded in the poems were all exquisite and profound, pointing directly to the ultimate principles of swordsmanship. Their level of understanding far surpassed all the martial arts she knew!

After Lin Mu finished his sword technique, the streaks of light in the air slowly dissipated. He sheathed his sword, looked at Si Lili who was still savoring the moment, and asked with a smile, "Did you see it clearly?"

Although the "Poet Immortal Sword Preface: Taibai's Journey" only has four moves, it encompasses everything, including internal energy cultivation methods, footwork, sword moves, and the true meaning of martial arts.

In terms of martial arts level, it is even above many of the ultimate techniques in "The World's Number One". If one masters it, it is not difficult to surpass the Grandmaster.

However, for Lin Mu, this sword sequence was righteous and had no backlash, unlike the three swords of Avici Hell, which were deadly and straightforward.

Passing it on to Si Lili would also be a way to ensure her continued succession.

Si Lili took a deep breath and solemnly curtsied: "Young master is so generous. I have no way to repay you but to offer myself to you."

She was exceptionally intelligent, though not as prodigious as Haitang Duoduo or Fan Xian. She was still outstanding if she could reach the seventh rank before the age of twenty.

After reading it only once, she had memorized it and knew that the value of this sword manual was immeasurable. Moved by the experience, she couldn't help but think of repaying the debt with her own life.

Lin Mu accepted all comers without hesitation.

It's almost dusk.

Lin Mu took a bath and changed his clothes. He instructed his servants to take care of Si Lili, who had difficulty moving around, and then went out alone, heading towards the Liujing River.
