Chapter 712 Spiritual Qi Exhaustion Syndrome



Yes, and there is Xiaorong!

The old man's eyes gradually brightened.

Because of the terminal illness, the Deng family had basically given up on curing Deng Herong. Even his grandfather subconsciously ignored this useless grandson when it came to the number of disciples.

But now, the family suddenly has a strong supporter.

My grandson's terminal illness may not be as hopeless as before...

Thinking of this, the old man looked at Deng Yougang expectantly: "Ancestor Yougang, Xiaorong is indeed the number one genius of our Deng family, but his talent was wasted because of that terminal illness. Do you... want to go and take a look?"

The former genius has become a good-for-nothing and can only lie in bed for the rest of his life...

Isn’t this a perfect template for the protagonist?

Deng Yougang instantly became interested and said without hesitation: "Quick, take me to see it now!"

Jinghai City First Cultivation Hospital, Ward A4.

Deng Yougang walked into the ward accompanied by the old man and Deng Heying.

A tall, beautiful girl sat beside the bed, chatting with the sick boy with a smile.

Seeing Deng Yougang and the other two walk into the ward, the girl was stunned at first, then quickly stood up and greeted them with a smile: "Sister Ying, and Grandpa Deng, you are here too?"

"It's Xiaowen!"

Grandpa Deng stroked his beard with a smile and said kindly, "I am really sorry to bother you. You come to the hospital every now and then to chat with my Xiaorong. Even I, your grandfather, don't come as often as you do!"

“…”

The beautiful girl called Xiaowen blushed and replied in a soft voice, "Of course...of course."

The sickly boy saw this scene, and a helpless smile appeared on his weak face: "Grandpa."

"Haha, Grandpa won't say anymore, Grandpa won't say anymore..."

Grandpa Deng laughed happily, obviously enjoying this kind of teasing of his children and grandchildren.

At the same time, the girl's face was as red as if it was dripping with blood. She secretly glanced at the helpless smile of the sick boy, then lowered her head and said in a voice as small as a mosquito: "It's getting late, I won't disturb you, I... I'm leaving first!"

As she said that, the girl grabbed the bag next to her and ran out of the ward as if escaping.

Seeing this scene, Grandpa Deng and Deng Heying couldn't help laughing.

But halfway through his laughter, Grandpa Deng glared at Deng Heying and said angrily, "Look at your brother. He has known how to find a beautiful wife since he was a child. Look at you. You are already 30 years old and you have never had a boyfriend to bring home!"

The smile on Deng Heying's face suddenly froze, and then he sighed helplessly.

...Well, if I’m not careful, I’ll bring the war upon myself again!

Seeing Deng Heying's reaction, Deng Yougang couldn't help but laugh.

The sickly boy was also smiling, but hidden beneath his smile was his scrutiny and suspicion of Deng Yougang.

Based on his understanding of his sister, she would definitely be angry and embarrassed if grandpa said this to her in front of outsiders.

But now, she just smiled helplessly, without any feeling of shame.

This reaction usually only occurs in front of family members.

Now the question is, who is this handsome-looking young man?

Just when the sickly young man was puzzled, Deng Yougang asked with a smile: "Who was that girl just now?"

Grandpa Deng immediately stopped blaming Deng Heying and explained with a smile, "She is a child from the courtyard, her name is Shang Xiaowen. She and our Xiaorong are childhood sweethearts. They went to school together and grew up together. They have a very good relationship."

"My son and daughter-in-law are very satisfied with her. There is a high probability that she will become my granddaughter-in-law in the future."

Hearing the old man's teasing words, Deng Yougang's eyes became more and more strange.

The childhood sweetheart of the genius boy, and even after the genius became a loser, she still stayed with him...

What modern Xiao Yan? You have too many buffs stacked on top of each other, right?!

Deng Yougang couldn't help but complain in his heart.

The old man next to him suddenly sighed and said with some regret: "It's a pity that Xiaowen has no talent for cultivation. If she really gets married with Xiaorong in the future, she may have a hard life in the second half of her life..."

Well, the family tradition is not bad.

Even though she knew that the other party had no talent for cultivation, she did not do anything to break up the couple. Instead, she treated her as her own daughter, worried that she would not live a happy life because her husband was a cultivator.

This is exactly what Deng Yougang likes.

But... does this girl really have no talent for cultivation?

Deng Yougang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, as if he had discovered something interesting.

At this moment, the sickly boy said helplessly: "Grandpa!"

"Haha." Grandpa Deng laughed, "We are all family, don't be shy."

"Family?" The young man was slightly startled, then looked at Deng Yougang and asked tentatively, "Is it my cousin from my hometown?"

Grandpa Deng's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "What are you talking about? You have no respect for your elders. Call me Grandpa!"

"……Clam?"

The young man widened his eyes and looked at the three people in a daze.

Deng Heying chuckled. She had long wanted to see her brother's reaction after he found out about Deng Yougang's identity.

Although he is ten years younger than her, he always behaves more maturely. Even when he was diagnosed with spiritual energy depletion, a terminal disease for practitioners, he was only depressed for a while before accepting the reality calmly.

She has been unhappy for a long time about this chaotic situation that seems more like brother and sister than sister!

"Hehe, you never thought that you would have this day!"

Just when Deng Heying's heart was filled with satisfaction and joy, he suddenly found that the eyes of his grandfather and ancestor Yougang were all on him.

Deng Heying was stunned for a moment, then reacted and began to explain Deng Yougang's background and identity to his brother in a depressed tone.

There's nothing she can do about it, since she and her brother are the youngest in the ward.

If I don't let her explain, who else can I ask?

After hearing the shocking secret told by his sister, Deng Herong was shocked at first, then frowned slightly, and glanced at Deng Yougang from time to time with a strange look in his eyes.

After listening, Deng Herong nodded.

"I understand. It turns out to be the great grandfather from the parallel universe."

Grandpa Deng smiled and said, "Your great grandfather has great magical powers. He must be able to cure your terminal illness. When the time comes, Grandpa believes that with your talent and ability, you will definitely be one of the two disciple spots given by the ancestor!"

“…”

Deng Herong forced a smile, then turned and looked at Deng Yougang.

"Grandpa Taizu, how can I cooperate with you?"

"Tell me about your situation first."

"Yes." Deng Herong nodded and said calmly, "The disease I have is called spiritual energy exhaustion, also known as magic exhaustion. It is a symptom that only appears in practitioners and awakened people. The spiritual energy in the patient's body will disappear inexplicably and uncontrollably, causing the patient's physical condition to always remain in a weak state of spiritual energy exhaustion."

"After something happened half a year ago, I unfortunately got this disease and became the thirteenth person in the country to suffer from spiritual energy exhaustion."

"The medical staff of the Cultivation Department conducted a comprehensive examination of my body, but no matter whether it was extraordinary means or scientific means, they could not find the root cause of the disease, nor could they find the reason why the spiritual energy disappeared. Therefore, it can only be temporarily determined to be a terminal illness for cultivators."

"But fortunately, this disease will only make my spiritual energy dissipate, my body weak, and my limbs powerless. It is not fatal."

"So I can lie here and chat with my family now..."

Listening to the boy's words, Deng Yougang had a thoughtful look on his face.

At this moment, the young man suddenly changed the subject: "Ancestor."

"Um?"

"Before you check my body, why don't you ask grandpa and sister to go out first!"

"...get out?" Deng Heying looked at him in surprise and said, "I have seen every part of your body. Are you still shy?"

Deng Herong did not answer, but just looked at Deng Yougang with sharp eyes, and there seemed to be something else in his eyes.

Deng Yougang raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, turned around and said, "Xiao Rong is right. Extraordinary means are no different from other means. They require an absolutely quiet environment and cannot be disturbed by any strange spiritual energy. You... go out first!"

"...Yes, there is Ancestor You Gang."

Since Deng Yougang said so, Grandpa Deng and Deng Heying looked at each other and could only turn around and leave helplessly.

After Deng Heying closed the door suspiciously, Deng Yougang raised his right hand slightly and swung it horizontally. Blue energy burst out from his body like a shield, instantly covering the entire ward.

After doing all this, Deng Yougang turned around and looked at the sick boy.

"Okay, now that the person is gone and I've set up the soundproof barrier, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

The young man smiled shyly and said softly, "Grandpa Yougang, if I am not mistaken, you should be from the world of the Chinese comic "Under One Person"!"

"……Um?"

Hearing the boy's words, Deng Yougang's pupils shrank and he looked at the sick boy in surprise.

The young man smiled and said, "It seems that I guessed right. You are indeed from that world. Moreover, you know the name Under One Person, which means that you are a time traveler who has read comics like me!"

“…”

Deng Yougang came back to his senses, looked at him silently, and suddenly raised his hand and pressed it on his forehead, with a bright blue light blooming from his fingertips.

Faced with Deng Yougang's sudden action, the young man was a little panicked at first, but then he realized that Deng Yougang had no ill will towards him, and this should be a method similar to spiritual detection.

Soon, Deng Yougang let go of his hand and looked at him with complicated and joyful eyes.

"I didn't expect that this trip would bring me unexpected gains."

"Deng Herong, you... are actually a time traveler!"
