Li Mu, a cultivator undergoing tribulation, suddenly transmigrated.
After waking up, Li Mu had no interest in money; only becoming stronger mattered to him. For those who wanted to kill him, ...
Fulai Jade Shop.
Seeing that the child was sick, Cheng Jiawei also got up, wanting to help but unable to, her face full of worry.
Li Mu also stood up and said loudly, "Boss, has your child been having this illness frequently these past few years? And it's getting worse each time?"
Upon hearing someone ask about the child's condition, the couple stopped and turned to look at Li Mu. They had been suffering from this illness for several years, and as the child grew older, the frequency of attacks increased. They never expected that this young man could actually tell.
"How did you know about my Chengcheng's illness? You're a doctor." The woman shook her head after hearing the man's description of the illness and looking at Li Mu, who was far too young, and prepared to leave again, not wanting to delay her child's treatment.
“Your child has more than just a hernia; he’s also been poisoned. I studied medicine for a few years, and if you trust me, I can cure this,” Li Mu said.
"Li Mu!" Cheng Jiawei called out to Li Mu in disbelief. "Can you please not meddle in something that concerns your life?"
"You say you can cure it?" The shop owner asked with disbelief and skepticism.
"If you don't believe me, that's fine, please do so." Li Mu was just being kind, having just received the extraterrestrial meteorite here, and was simply returning the favor. Since you don't believe me, that's fine too; you can't be a pushover.
"You, you go away. Um, doctor, please help save my Chengcheng. Before, during the hospital check-up, a doctor said that Chengcheng might have heavy metal poisoning." The woman pushed past the shop owner, held the child, and knelt down in front of Li Mu.
"Get up first, find a place where the child can lie down, I can help treat the illness." Since the person had come to him again, Li Mu stopped dwelling on the shop owner's doubts.
.
The group followed the shop owner into the shop. The shop owner was in a hurry and immediately used one arm to sweep all the tea sets and some decorations on the tea table onto the floor. The woman also brought a large towel to place on the tea table.
Seeing that the child had been settled on the tea table, Li Mu immediately took out a set of silver needles from his backpack, ready to treat him.
Cheng Jiawei and the shop owner couple felt much more at ease when they saw Li Mu take out the silver needles. They basically believed that Li Mu could cure the illness. As for whether he could cure it, that would depend on Li Mu's performance next.
The child had stopped crying and had fallen into a coma. Li Mu first channeled a wisp of spiritual energy into the child's body to protect the heart meridian, and then used silver needles to insert into several acupoints on the upper body and head to seal the spread of the poison. He then injected another wisp of spiritual energy into the child's body to expel the poison from the child's internal organs.
It sounds simple, but it's actually quite difficult to do. First, the child is too young and his organs are not fully developed. Second, the toxins in his body are mainly concentrated in his internal organs, which are also caused by the toxicity from the meteorite. Therefore, the detoxification process is very troublesome.
As Li Mu slowly removed the metallic toxicity from the child's internal organs, the child's dark red complexion gradually faded and eventually returned to normal. The shop owner and his wife breathed a sigh of relief; the weight that had been pressing on their hearts was finally lifted.
Forty minutes later, Li Mu used his spiritual energy to first concentrate all the stripped metal substances into the child's stomach, then used that wisp of spiritual energy to wrap and compress the metal substances into a small bead the size of a bean. Finally, he slowly moved the bead down the esophagus into the child's mouth and brought it out of the body, then put it into a small jade bottle.
Li Mu deliberately kept this bead in the jade bottle, as it was going to be very useful. To put it bluntly, Li Mu planned to use it to trick people, and temporarily named it "Spirit Bomb," a bomb wrapped in spiritual energy.
This bead, formed from trace amounts of material emitted by a meteorite, is currently enveloped in Li Mu's spiritual energy. Once this bead is thrown out and activated with spiritual energy, it can blast a large hole in even the load-bearing wall of a building.
This is because these emitted substances are similar to atomic particles, possessing the same characteristics of atomic radiation and subsequent splitting and qualitative change; all that is needed is spiritual energy to detonate them.
The three watched Li Mu treat the child. This method of treatment wasn't too unusual, but it was strange to see Li Mu pull a small black bead out of the child's mouth. Could it be that the child had accidentally swallowed a poisonous bead? The treatment wasn't over yet, so the three didn't dare to ask.
.
If it was just about detoxification, then we could stop here. This child was also destined to be with me. Since Zuo Yi was helping, Li Mu decided to treat the child's hernia as well, and finally combed the child's body.
"Hey! I've managed to cure you, I've finally succeeded."
After treating the child, Li Mu picked him up and gently slapped his bottom. With a loud "Wah!" the child woke up from his unconsciousness, hugged Li Mu's neck and cried. Then, realizing something was wrong, he stopped crying and looked at the others.
Li Mu put the child down on the ground. Seeing that the group seemed to have questions, and fearing trouble, and knowing that asking one question at a time would make some things difficult to explain, he simply picked up the black stone and said:
"Your child has been poisoned by this stone. This stone is actually a rare metal with a certain degree of radioactivity. Most people will be fine if they touch it, but people with special constitutions are more likely to be poisoned if they touch it too much, especially children with special constitutions."
"Ah! You mean, Chengcheng is different from other children? What should we do then?" The woman had just held the child in her arms when she heard Li Mu say that the child had a special constitution. She was worried about what would happen if something went wrong in the future.
"Oh! It's not what you think. Let me put it this way. This special constitution isn't a bad thing. Your child is very intelligent and has a high talent for cultivation. If he can meet a good master, his achievements will be limitless."
Li Mu originally wanted to talk about the stone, but now that the child is more important than anything else, the topic has been steered off course.
"Brother, um, Master, what's your surname? I'm so grateful to you for saving my son. My surname is Zhang, Zhang Fulai. It's lunchtime now, so please stay and have a meal with me. I'll arrange it right away."
Zhang Fulai was overjoyed to see his child cured and to hear from Li Mu that his son had a talent for cultivation. Seeing his wife about to ask more questions, he immediately interrupted her. "This master has already worked so hard to cure our son; let's not say anything more. Let's treat him to a meal to express our gratitude."
“Brother Zhang, there’s no need to call me Master. My name is Li Mu, just call me Li Mu. I feel a connection with your child, it was just a small favor. As for food, if your shop has any, then just grab something to eat. If you want to eat out, then forget it,” Li Mu said.
.
Hearing that Li Mu did not refuse to eat, Boss Zhang was very happy. He immediately made a phone call to arrange it, and even asked someone to prepare better dishes and bring over a few bottles of wine.
"Brother Zhang, this little stone is useful to me. I wonder if you would be willing to part with it and let me have it?" After Zhang Fulai finished making arrangements, Li Mu turned his attention back to the little black stone and asked directly.
"Ah! Brother Li, aren't you just being annoying? If you have any use for this stone, just take it. I didn't know before that the child was poisoned by it, but now that I know, even if you don't want it, I'm going to throw it away to avoid harming the child again."
Zhang Fulai said somewhat reproachfully, "This stone we picked up could have been thrown away easily, why is Brother Li begging for it like this? Isn't this a slap in the face?"
