Healing Wounds

Li Pin was woken up by the sound of his phone ringing.

"Ding."

"Your card ending in *8879 received a transfer of 30,000,000.00 yuan on February 3rd at 9:13 AM. Your balance after the transaction is 30,141,073.58 yuan. [Taibai Bank]"

Looking at his bank balance, he felt a surge of energy.

Naturally, he no longer cared about being woken up by a text message.

The reason he slept so late today was primarily because applying medicine and circulating his Qi to heal took a considerable amount of time last night.

Outsiders thought he unleashed three Dan Jins in one go, but in reality, his speed burst at the last moment was also a release of Dan Jin, merely used to enhance his speed.

Four Dan Jins, exceeding the limit he could unleash in his prime.

If not for his Innate Qi Nourishing Technique having reached a certain level of mastery, he would have faced Qi and Blood depletion and ruin.

"The Five Elements Sect is quite forthright," Li Pin said, his impression of the sect improving.

He changed his clothes.

As soon as he moved a little, he immediately felt his own weakness, his muscles, and the pain radiating from his bones.

He couldn't help but frown.

"Although I circulated my Qi to heal last night, unleashing four Dan Jins put a heavy load on my body. One or two healing sessions are clearly not enough to fully recover. I'll likely need to rest well from now on."

Li Pin took out his phone, intending to ask Fang Lingjue for leave.

Almost as he was about to call Fang Lingjue, his phone rang first.

He had called him.

As soon as he answered the call, Fang Lingjue's voice came through: "The Martial Artist who killed the Five Elements Sect traitor Wang Daoyi at the Luo Family Courtyard last night, was that you?"

"It was me," Li Pin replied.

He wasn't surprised.

Although the Fang family wasn't a major clan in Canglong City, they were considered one of the local powers.

It wasn't strange that Fang Lingjue, a Dan Jin Martial Artist, would get this news the next day.

"Are you at your apartment now?"

"Yes."

"I'll be there shortly."

Fang Lingjue hung up after speaking.

Li Pin immediately got up to brush his teeth and rinse his mouth.

When he was almost ready, the doorbell rang.

When he opened the door, Fang Lingjue, Shanhu, and a man who looked to be in his fifties were waiting outside.

The moment Fang Lingjue saw Li Pin, his gaze fell on his hands.

He saw that although Li Pin's hands were red and swollen, they seemed to be able to move, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"This is Doctor Liu Pingsheng from Liu's Medical Hall. I specifically brought him here to examine your physical condition."

Fang Lingjue said, his expression grave. "You unleashed three Dan Jins in one go without having embraced Qi into Dan. Do you know how much strain that put on your body? There are not a few Hua Jin experts in the martial arts world who comprehend Dan Jin before embracing Dan, but unleashing two Dan Jins consecutively is already the limit they can bear. Three Dan Jins..."

He took a deep breath. "Almost every year, some people who haven't embraced Dan yet recklessly unleash Dan Jin and end up crippled at this stage."

"I'm aware of my own condition," Li Pin said.

"Let's get you checked first," Fang Lingjue said.

Seeing this, Li Pin didn't refuse.

He turned to Liu Pingsheng. "I practice a type of health preservation technique that nourishes my vitality, so I'm not afraid of ordinary Qi and Blood depletion. I just feel like my nutritional supplementation isn't keeping up. Doctor Liu, perhaps you could help me see if there are any good prescriptions that can significantly improve my nourishment."

"Health preservation technique?" Liu Pingsheng was somewhat surprised.

Health preservation techniques were not like the ones practiced by young people.

He stepped forward and examined Li Pin one by one.

After a moment, he frowned. "Your Qi and Blood are indeed severely depleted..."

He looked at Li Pin. "I suggest you come to my clinic for proper recuperation."

"Thank you for your kind offer, Doctor Liu. If I haven't improved in half a month, I will seek your guidance then," Li Pin said.

"Don't push yourself just because you're young."

Fang Lingjue offered a piece of advice.

Li Pin nodded.

Seeing this, Liu Pingsheng didn't say anything further. After examining Li Pin once more, he said, "Since you want to rely on tonics and warming therapies to condition yourself, let's do it your way..."

He picked up a pen and paper to write. "Master Fang has offered you a million-year salary, and I won't be stingy with the medication... Follow this prescription, once every three days. The medication cost for a month is thirteen thousand. Is that acceptable?"

"It is."

Li Pin replied, "Money isn't an issue. If there are any better, faster-acting prescriptions, please don't hold back for my sake, Doctor Liu."

"Did the thirty million from the Five Elements Sect go through?"

Fang Lingjue asked.

"Yes."

Li Pin nodded. "I need to prepare for the Jiangzhou Martial Arts Tournament. The sooner I get my body in good condition, the sooner I can resume training."

"With thirty million, you certainly won't be lacking money for now."

Fang Lingjue turned to Liu Pingsheng. "Go with the best option."

Liu Pingsheng nodded.

"Li Pin, can you decoct medicine? I think you could have Uncle Liu help you prepare the medicine, and then you can pick it up from his shop to take."

At this moment, Shanhu suggested.

"That's a good idea."

Fang Lingjue immediately agreed. "If you experience any discomfort after taking the medication, Doctor Liu can adjust it for you anytime."

"Okay."

Li Pin nodded. "However, I need to rest at home for the next few days. I was just about to ask you for leave."

"You just rest and recuperate at home. I'll have Shanhu deliver the medicine to you."

Fang Lingjue said, somewhat exasperated, "Wang Daoyi! The most notorious traitor of the Five Elements Sect, a famous Embrace Dan Martial Artist! You dare get involved in such a mess? You're practically throwing your life away!"

"I couldn't help the situation back then."

Li Pin shrugged.

"You couldn't help it? Wang Daoyi targeted you, and you didn't run? Would he abandon Qi Dongyuan to chase after you? You're just relying on your ability to kill a Cat Demon, to cultivate Dan Jin, and acting on a surge of bravery."

Fang Lingjue chided him for putting himself in danger.

Li Pin listened and found himself unable to refute.

If Wang Daoyi hadn't targeted him, he wouldn't have actively gotten involved in the conflict between him and the Five Elements Sect.

But Wang Daoyi had set his sights on him...

A living Embrace Dan Martial Artist!

How rare was that?

An opportunity to spar with such a figure was incredibly hard to come by.

Therefore, he admitted that, at that moment, he genuinely had the thought of going with the flow and fighting Wang Daoyi.

Li Pin was not his disciple, after all, and Fang Lingjue was not Li Pin's guardian.

After a few words, he realized he had no standing to reprimand him.

They were both adults now.

Li Pin...

Had his own ideas.

And should be responsible for his own actions.

Seeing that Liu Pingsheng had finished examining Li Pin, he said, "You should rest well at home now. Call me if anything comes up."

He then chuckled, "You could even kill Wang Daoyi, even if it was after he and the Five Elements Sect were both severely weakened. Such capability... is now truly on par with an Associate Senior Title holder. Because of you, I've received several calls early this morning. Changfeng Martial Hall has become famous in the Martial Artist circle."

He couldn't help but sigh, "You truly surprise me every so often."

Li Pin wasn't surprised that these people could find out the Martial Artist from last night was him.

After all, the bank account he provided belonged to him.

It wasn't difficult for those in power to trace his identity from there.
