“Grandpa, this is Ye Xingchen, here to solve Zilin’s problem.” Li Tianqi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ye Xingchen?" Old Bai was slightly taken aback: "Old Xia's grandson?"
“That’s right, my maternal grandfather and Old Bai were old acquaintances.” Ye Xingchen nodded.
"You know medicine?" Old Bai asked.
“Starry Sky Group is my company,” Ye Xingchen said.
"Please come in quickly." Old Bai's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
When Xingchen Group was mentioned, he naturally thought of the Soul-Locking Pill.
Who in the old guard doesn't know the wonders of this thing? Old Xia is really tight-lipped about it; his grandson is the owner of the Soul-Locking Pill, yet he hasn't uttered a single word.
"Gentlemen, since you've invited me, Jiang Yongkang, then why bother inviting anyone else?" Jiang Yongkang snorted. "Are you all looking down on my medical skills?"
"Jiang Yongkang, the Ghost Doctor of the Underworld Mountain?" Ye Xingchen looked at him.
“That’s right, it is indeed the real me.” Jiang Yongkang raised his head.
"Do you dare say you can cure the Poison Corpse Immortal?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"My reputation as the Ghost Doctor of Mount Ming is not just for show. If I say I can cure it, then I definitely can," Jiang Yongkang sneered.
"Then tell me, what method will you use to treat it?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"How could I casually tell you my secrets that I don't pass on?" Jiang Yongkang glanced at Ye Xingchen disdainfully, then looked at the Bai family members indifferently.
"I wouldn't have come if it weren't for my junior brother's sake. Now, either this kid gets out, or I leave. You choose one."
A threat, this was an absolutely blatant threat. This guy was used to being arrogant and didn't take anyone seriously at all.
He had no idea what his impeccable family background represented in Yanjing, nor did he know what kind of person this unassuming young man was.
"If you won't say it, I'll say it for you," Ye Xingchen said with a slight smile. "Your so-called method of exorcising demons is nothing more than exchanging lives for lives."
"We need to find ten young, strong men, full of energy and spirit, and cast a secret spell on them to make them unconscious."
"Then hang them upside down, let their blood flow from their hearts, then cut them open and take the blood from each person's heart as a medicinal ingredient, and then you can drive them away, is that right?"
"What?" The Bai family members were all shocked.
The old patriarch of the Bai family fought alongside Mao Zedong, a true member of the revolutionary lineage. For generations, the Bai family has been known for its upright character.
Even though Bai Zilin's life was hanging by a thread, the Bai family would not allow anyone to risk their life to save her.
Even if we manage to save her, given her personality, she'll probably never get over that hurdle for the rest of her life.
“You…” Jiang Yongkang’s expression changed, and he began to seriously examine Ye Xingchen. He sneered, “I didn’t expect you to know the art of borrowing life.”
"If this is true, I would rather Zilin die than do such a heinous thing." Old Bai was furious: "No wonder he is called the Ghost Doctor, his methods of treating diseases are so despicable."
"Old man, don't be so righteous. If you were about to die, what would you do?" Jiang Yongkang sneered: "Knowing how to use magic and being able to use magic are two different things."
"Boy, I don't know where you learned about the art of borrowing life, but do you know how difficult it is to perform? Don't think that just because you've read a few books, you can rival the world-renowned Ghost Doctor."
"Famous throughout the world? You're just calling yourself that, aren't you?" Ye Xingchen said calmly. "A doctor should be benevolent. You risked your life for another, which is against the natural order and common sense."
"Moreover, this method is too vicious and cannot be tolerated by the Heavenly Dao. If it is successfully used, it will surely be devoured by the Heavenly Dao. In that case, it will damage the Bai family's fortune. Within ten years, the Bai family will inevitably be kicked out of the game. What exactly are you planning?"
Those present looked solemn and their expressions changed drastically.
Jiang Yongkang's expression also changed slightly: "Kid, who are you?"
"Ye Xingchen, you've probably never heard of me." Ye Xingchen waved his hand and said, "Don't think you're invincible just because you know a little bit of evil magic. You can leave now; we don't need you here."
"You make it sound so convincing, but I don't believe you have any other methods besides this one." Jiang Yongkang's face was grim.
"Since I dared to come, I must be absolutely certain of my success." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
“Grandpa, Uncle, Mr. Ye is a true miracle doctor. Even Dr. Yuan is inferior to him. He must have a solution.” Li Tianqi said, “Let him give it a try.”
"Xiao Ye, then I'll leave it to you." Old Bai nodded: "Old Xia is reliable, and his grandson must be reliable too."
“He can wake someone up without using the life-borrowing method, so I’ll go with him.” Jiang Yongkang’s face was extremely ugly; he refused to believe that Ye Xingchen had any other methods.
“It can be cured, but the pros and cons need to be explained to Elder Bai.” Ye Xingchen said, “I will use the Soul-Locking Pill to keep Miss Bai alive for seven days.”
“But during these seven days, although she will be conscious, she will be paralyzed in bed. During these seven days, we need to find a Two-Life Flower as a medicinal ingredient.” Ye Xingchen said, “If we find the medicinal ingredient, everything will be fine. If we don’t find it… I can only do my best to ensure that Miss Bai spends the rest of her life in a wheelchair.”
"The Flower of Two Lifetimes? My Bai family will mobilize all its resources to find it." Elder Bai shouted, then stood up and looked at Tianxi Bai: "Tianxi, Zilin is your daughter, the decision is yours."
Bai Tianxi's hands trembled slightly. To be honest, this was a difficult decision for him.
If things go wrong, my daughter might have to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.
“Mr. Ye… I really find it hard to decide, but if we don’t use this method and instead use the method of borrowing life, not to mention that my Bai family can’t do it, even if Zilin wakes up, she will definitely blame herself.” Bai Tianxi gritted his teeth: “In that case, then let Mr. Ye decide.”
"Alright, as expected of descendants of Old Master Bai, the Bai family is an upright family. I'll definitely help with this." Ye Xingchen nodded slightly.
In fact, at the level of the Bai family, ten lives are nothing to them.
There are many dark aspects to the powerful families in Yanjing. There are elders who inherit the family business, who believe in secret arts and even eat human hearts in order to achieve immortality.
But the Bai family is different; this is what distinguishes a family with impeccable revolutionary credentials from a wealthy and powerful family.
Ye Xingchen took out the Soul-Locking Pill and fed it to Bai Zilin.
As soon as she took the medicine, the dark aura on Bai Zilin's face immediately dissipated. She gently moved her hand and slowly woke up.
"Zilin..." Bai Tianxi rushed forward, grabbed his daughter's hand, and was too excited to speak.
“Dad…” Bai Zilin opened her eyes with difficulty, and suddenly found that her whole body was stiff and she could not move at all.
"Zilin, you can't move right now. Don't worry, Mr. Ye will definitely be able to save you within seven days." Old Bai stepped forward and felt heartbroken seeing his granddaughter like this.
