Experiment, Qian Renxue's Shame

Although he had finished learning Nine Heart Begonia's inherited medical arts in just over a month, Chen Ming had agreed to two months with Dugu Bo. Since he currently had no way to contact Dugu Bo, he could only wait for Dugu Bo to come find him when the time was up.

Ye Renxin had also made things easy for Chen Ming. Not only did he discuss and deduce medical theories with Chen Ming every day, but after Chen Ming provided his answers, he even allowed him to observe how he treated patients firsthand.

Nine Heart Begonia Mansion had extensive connections, and quite a few people came to seek Ye Renxin's aid on ordinary days. However, Ye Renxin did not always have time to handle such matters, nor was every problem worthy of someone at his level taking action.

The first patient Chen Ming encountered was a noble Spirit Master. An accident had occurred while this Spirit Master was obtaining a Spirit Ring. Though he had not failed, his origin had suffered severe damage, and Soul Power had stagnated within his organs. He clearly did not have long to live.

Originally, he had been a lean Agility Attack System Spirit Master, but the violent energy within his body had left him abnormally swollen. His skin even seemed on the verge of separating from his flesh. This was truly a major problem that ordinary Spirit Masters could not handle.

Inside a consultation room within Nine Heart Begonia Mansion, Ye Renxin personally treated the Spirit Master's injuries while Chen Ming watched from the side. Ye Renxin would occasionally ask Chen Ming for his opinion, and sometimes even let him perform parts of the treatment himself.

Although the noble Spirit Master was understandably anxious after discovering that he had become teaching material, he did not dare voice any of his many doubts because of Ye Renxin's renowned medical skills.

However, as Chen Ming and Ye Renxin discussed and treated him, the noble Spirit Master realized that Chen Ming was not some incapable spectator. He was an apprentice acknowledged by Ye Renxin, one capable of participating in treatment.

"Damaged meridians, stagnated Soul Power, reversed blood and qi..."

"Senior Ye, are you planning to slowly guide his Soul Power out of his organs and into his meridians, channel it into the broader meridians, then sever the meridians to deal with it?"

After examining the Spirit Master's condition, Chen Ming's expression became somewhat strange.

"Yes. There are better methods, but this is the most suitable one. Even injuries to the meridians can be healed by Nine Heart Begonia. Moving the rampaging Soul Power from vital areas into less vital ones, then repairing them afterward, is also a viable method."

Smiling, Ye Renxin picked up several silver needles and inserted them into the Spirit Master's body, instructing him to circulate his Soul Power as he did so.

Under pressure from both within and without, the violent Soul Power was squeezed out of the organs and into the meridians of his limbs. Ye Renxin cut an opening in the Spirit Master's skin, then used his needle technique to force the Soul Power out through it.

In an instant, high-pressure blood sprayed out in a fan-shaped burst. The Spirit Master's condition plummeted as though he had taken a sharp dive on a roller coaster, and the color visibly drained from his face.

But at that moment, seven Spirit Rings lit up, and the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul appeared. Without even using a Spirit Skill, Ye Renxin merely covered him with Soul Power, immediately stabilizing the Spirit Master's condition.

Ye Renxin had Chen Ming assist him as they released the violent Soul Power and stagnant blood from various parts of the body using the same method. Finally, he directly healed the man with the life force of Nine Heart Begonia.

This man's condition had truly been serious. If Chen Ming had treated him himself, it would have taken at least several months, perhaps even a year, to heal him completely. Yet Ye Renxin had relied on his Martial Soul as a safety net and resolved the issue completely in a single day through the most forceful method possible.

That method, especially the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul's power to easily repair severed meridians and shattered organs, left Chen Ming deeply impressed.

Once he got closer to Ye Renxin in the future, he would dare cultivate those secret techniques he had envisioned. With Nine Heart Begonia's support, even if his meridians ruptured and his organs were damaged, he could recover in a short time and continue cultivating.

After staying beside Ye Renxin and serving as his assistant for several days, Ye Renxin felt that Chen Ming was ready. He began accepting cases that were less serious, allowing Chen Ming to treat them while assisting from the side and serving as a safeguard.

Ordinary Spirit Masters would never allow a stranger to pry into every detail of their condition, sense their Soul Power, or even ask about their Spirit Skills. But people were far more tolerant when it came to doctors.

While treating others, Chen Ming also collected all kinds of information on different people and different Martial Souls, applying the methods he had envisioned to his patients.

Chen Ming's ability to deduce was extremely strong, but it could not reach the level of truly foreseeing the future. Working behind closed doors was not impossible, but it was equally impossible for it to be entirely free of mistakes.

What one learns from books always feels shallow; true understanding comes only through personal practice.

Only through practice did Chen Ming thoroughly correct some of his minor errors and integrate various methods into his instincts. He had advanced from a medical grandmaster in theory into a true medical grandmaster in every sense.

Near the end of the second month, while Chen Ming waited for Dugu Bo to arrive, an unexpected patient quietly entered the Nine Heart Begonia estate under cover of night.

"Crown Prince? I never expected it to be you."

Seeing the visitor's true face, Ye Renxin was slightly surprised. Even Chen Ming, who had been prepared to conduct an... experimental treatment, was momentarily stunned.

Crown Prince Xue Qinghe—no, Qian Renxue, the young mistress of Spirit Hall. What was she doing sneaking into Nine Heart Begonia Mansion in the middle of the night?

"Senior Ye, and Viscount Chen. I came this time because I have a... small... rather difficult-to-explain problem... Although I do not believe there is anything wrong with me, Father still..."

Xue Qinghe's face was somewhat flushed, and she stammered, unsure how to explain herself.

Yet as experienced men, even without Xue Qinghe spelling it out, Chen Ming and Ye Renxin immediately understood the nature of her embarrassing little problem.

"Could it be that Your Highness is... somewhat deficient?" Ye Renxin asked tentatively.

"No, I have never even touched a woman. What I mean is... I mean!" Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, covered her flushed cheeks and spoke in an extremely quiet voice.

"I have spent all these years occupied with state affairs and cultivation. Since childhood, I have disliked extravagance, and after growing up, I have been somewhat different from ordinary nobles. I believed that my great ambitions had simply left me uninterested in women, which is why I have yet to marry. But Father suspects there may be something strange about my remaining unmarried..."

"He thinks that since I do not like women, perhaps I like men, and he has hinted as much to me. But I rejected that as well. On top of my usual self-restraint, Father suspects that perhaps I am..."

"In any case, I must ask Senior Ye to help me think of a solution."
