Shen Lian nodded and said, "Of course I remember."

Lin Zhongtian smiled calmly and said, "That's great, can you lend it to me for a look?"

"This..." Shen Lian hesitated for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "Logically speaking, I cannot pass on the "Pure and Tranquility Gong" to you without the permission of Taoist Wang. However, now that I have fallen into this situation, I am afraid it will be difficult to get in touch with Taoist Wang. If Brother Fu really wants to give it a try, I can give you the Gong method, but I need you to write a letter to apologize to Taoist Wang for me."

"What do you mean by you? Now it's us!"

Lin Zhongtian corrected the mistakes in Shen Lian's words, then moved closer with a curious look on his face.

"Don't worry, I'll tell them to write the letter, just tell me now!"

"Okay!" Shen Lian nodded, then looked at the table in front of him with teapots and teacups and said hesitantly, "But is that all? Why don't you bring some paper and pen first..."

"No need, just recite it once, I can remember it!"

Shen Lian was slightly startled, then he said: "Okay, then I will recite it, you remember: The Great Dao is invisible, giving birth to the heaven and earth; the Great Dao is ruthless, running the sun and the moon; the Great Dao is nameless, nourishing all things; I don't know its name, so I call it the Dao. The Dao: has clarity and turbidity, movement and stillness; the sky is clear and the earth is turbid, the sky moves and the earth is still. Men are clear and women are turbid, men move and women are still..."

Lin Zhongtian and the other two listened quietly to him finish reading the general outline of "Qingjing Gong".

Doctor Zhang, who was standing by, frowned the whole time. After Shen Lian finished reading, he couldn't help but say, "Isn't the first half of this the Scripture of Purity and Tranquility? I remember that the Taoist priests in the Baiyun Temple in the south city recited this sutra during their morning classes. Why did it become an internal power method in your case?"

"The Scripture of Purity and Tranquility has always been the core method of the Pure Tranquility Technique, but only the first half has been circulated."

"I see."

Doctor Zhang suddenly understood, stroked his beard and nodded, and began to memorize the second half of "Qingjing Gong" in his mind.

Lin Zhongtian repeated it thoughtfully, and after confirming that it was correct, he turned to look at Shen Lian.

"The complete 'Qingjing Gong' should include more than just the general outline of the mental method, but also matching postures and movements."

"Yes, I need to teach you this myself - are you going to start now?"

"Wait a minute." Lin Zhongtian shook his head and turned to look at Jin Yichuan, "What is your request?"

“…”

Jin Yichuan was slightly startled, thought for a moment, and said tentatively: "Brother Fu, you also know that I have tuberculosis, if it is possible..."

Jin Yichuan didn't finish his words, but the three people present understood what he meant.

Doctor Zhang frowned and said lightly, "Yichuan, I have told you long ago that you must not be impatient with your lung disease and need to rest. As long as you follow the doctor's advice, I will be able to cure it sooner or later."

Jin Yichuan lowered his head in shame: "I know that too, but my body..."

Doctor Zhang sighed, "I know what you are worried about. You just feel that you are not healthy and your life span is not long. You have been reluctant to propose to me. Is this the reason?"

"Why, are you worried that you will die young and delay my daughter's death?"

"Ah... this... Uncle Zhang, you..."

Jin Yichuan's eyes widened, his face flushed, and he stammered in embarrassment.

Doctor Zhang laughed, stroked his beard and said, "I have been practicing medicine for decades. Although I cannot say that I know people's hearts, I am used to the ups and downs between people. Do you think you can hide your little thoughts with your daughter from me? When I saw her hiding in her boudoir, sewing sachets that are beneficial to lung diseases, I knew that she had fallen in love with you."

Doctor Zhang turned to look at Lin Zhongtian and Shen Lian, chuckled and said, "Now that you two are here, I have the audacity to ask you two to be witnesses. Regardless of whether Yichuan's illness is good or bad, I am willing to marry my daughter to him!"

Jin Yichuan's eyes widened: "Really...really?"

Doctor Zhang said dissatisfiedly: "Of course it's true. Marriage is a lifelong event. How can I joke about my daughter's future happiness?"

Jin Yichuan was stunned by this sudden surprise and sat there grinning foolishly.

Shen Lian smiled knowingly, leaned over and patted Jin Yichuan's shoulder, feeling genuinely happy for his brother.

Only Lin Zhongtian had a frown on his face, his eyes wandering back and forth between the three people's faces, and finally he couldn't help but speak.

"Hey, you three, why are you acting so dramatic? Can you please listen to my answer first before you say anything else?"

“…”

Doctor Zhang and Shen Lian were both stunned when they heard this, and seemed to understand something.

The former stood up excitedly: "Mr. Fu, can you cure this disease?"

Lin Zhongtian said as a matter of course: "Of course, it's just tuberculosis, isn't it easy to cure it?"

After saying that, Lin Zhongtian stood up, tore open Jin Yichuan's clothes, and slapped him with his left palm.

Jin Yichuan hadn't recovered from the sudden surprise yet. He raised his head in confusion and was about to ask what was going on when he suddenly felt a warm current flowing into his chest and then directly into his lungs.

Jin Yichuan opened his eyes wide, and felt a coolness and warmth in his lungs.

The alternation of hot and cold soon made Jin Yichuan feel an itchy sensation, and then he couldn't help but sneeze.

"A-choo——"

Shen Lian, who was sitting opposite Jin Yichuan, was frowning and wiped the saliva off his face with a white cloth.

Then he looked down and found that the saliva was black and had a strange odor.

At the same time, Jin Yichuan began to sneeze continuously.

Shen Lian didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly picked up the white cloth he had just torn off and blocked Jin Yichuan.

After he sneezed and wiped his nose feeling refreshed, he found that the white cloth in front of him had turned into a dirty black color.

Jin Yichuan was surprised and asked, "What is this? My snot and saliva?"

Doctor Zhang took the black cloth, not minding the dirtiness, and after observing it carefully for a while, he let out a long sigh.

"The lungs control qi, connect to the throat, connect to the skin and fur, and open to the nose. Mr. Fu is using your throat, mouth and nose to expel the lung poison for you. This is truly a god-like method. I admire you, I admire you!"

As he spoke, Doctor Zhang put down the black cloth, stood up and bowed towards Lin Zhongtian.

Lin Zhongtian quickly reached out his hand to support Doctor Zhang, and said modestly: "Doctor Zhang, thank you for your praise. What I have learned is just a minor art, and there are many limitations in its use. It cannot compare to your great medical path, which can save all living beings."

“…”

Hearing this, Doctor Zhang hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't help but speak.

"Mr. Fu, I know I shouldn't ask this question, but considering the patients who died at my hands, I have to thicken my face and ask you for your advice - what exactly is it that you have learned?"

Jin Yichuan and Shen Lian also wanted to know the answer to this question, and turned to look at Lin Zhongtian.

Lin Zhongtian thought for a moment and explained, "To put it simply, it is a magical skill that only a very small number of people can learn. Once mastered, one will possess an extremely powerful internal force. Shen Lian became stronger and Jin Yichuan's lung disease was cured because of this internal force."

Doctor Zhang was fascinated by what he heard and exclaimed: "Isn't that a divine method?"

Jin Yichuan and Shen Lian looked at each other, both somewhat confused.

Especially Jin Yichuan, he recalled what Zhao Lihe said when he first met Lin Zhongtian, and suddenly felt that this possibility was not impossible.

After all, apart from gods, who else would live in seclusion in the mountains and forests?

I don't know since when, the atmosphere at the tea table became silent.

Lin Zhongtian glanced at the expressions of Jin Yichuan and the other two, and couldn't help but feel a little amused.

These three people seemed to really think he was a god descended to earth...

"Wait, something's wrong, I seem to really be a god."

Lin Zhongtian fell into deep thought, and then readily accepted the reality.

"Brother Shen?"

"Ah, what's wrong, Brother Fu...Brother Fu."

"I'll teach you the Qingjing Gong. You don't want to regret it, do you?"

“…How is that possible!”

Shen Lian and Jin Yichuan looked at each other and seemed to be relieved. Then he stood up and said with a smile: "Come with me, Brother Fu, I will pass on the "Qingjing Gong" to you now!"
