"The patient is here. Doctor Liu, can you tell what kind of disease he has?" The shopkeeper surnamed Hou led Doctor Liu to the bedside, moved a stool and asked him to sit down.

Dr. Liu carefully examined Shen Luo's complexion, then took Shen Luo's wrist and carefully checked his pulse, and soon let out a soft moan.

"Brother Liu, is this little brother's condition very serious?" the shopkeeper surnamed Hou asked hurriedly.

"It is indeed quite serious that the pulse condition is empty and disordered, and the three burners are out of tune. Such pulse conditions are often seen in dying old people. It is really strange that this young man has such a condition at such a young age." Dr. Liu said with a solemn expression.

"Dying..." The shopkeeper surnamed Hou frowned with thick eyebrows.

The same goes for the three guys, especially Little Third, who has a sad face.

The woman in the red shirt behind her crossed her arms and looked at the shopkeeper named Hou mockingly, as if she was expressing her previous dissatisfaction.

"Brother Liu, this little brother is a customer in my shop. Please try your best to treat him." The shopkeeper surnamed Hou said with his hands.

"Brother Hou, it's not that Liu is evasive, it's just that I have never seen this little brother's disease before, and I really can't do anything about it," Doctor Liu said helplessly.

The shopkeeper surnamed Hou was silent for a moment and sighed.

Dr. Liu is already the best doctor in the town. It seems that this handsome young man is really in trouble.

"Forget it if he can't be cured. You three, hurry up and carry this man out of the back door. Don't let him die in the store. It's bad luck." The woman in red shirt said.

The shopkeeper surnamed Hou's face sank and he was about to speak.

"Needle...Tiantu Acupoint..." A thin voice suddenly sounded.

Several people in the room followed the sound, but Shen Luo spoke with difficulty, and they were all shocked.

"What did you say?" Doctor Liu stood up and put his ear close to Shen Luo.

"Tiantu Acupoint...Tiantu Acupoint..." Shen Luo said again.

This time the sound was slightly louder, and everyone present heard it.

"You want me to acupuncture your Tiantu?" Doctor Liu hesitated and asked.

Shen Luo nodded very slowly.

Doctor Liu frowned, turned to look at the shopkeeper surnamed Hou, and said, "Brother Hou, this little brother is a customer in your shop, what do you think we should do?"

"Brother Liu, this little brother doesn't look like an ordinary person. Maybe he knows how to heal. Just try it." The shopkeeper surnamed Hou was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and said.

"What if something goes wrong here?" the woman in red shirt behind said coldly.

"Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. I, Hou, cannot refuse to save someone. Brother Liu, please," said the shopkeeper surnamed Hou.

The woman in red shirt wanted to say something, but she didn't speak.

Doctor Liu nodded, untied Shen Luo's clothes, then took out a set of needles, pulled out a silver needle, and pierced Tiantu into Shen Luo's abdomen.

"Shuifen..." Shen Luo spoke again.

Doctor Liu took one look at Shen Luo and started acupuncture according to the law.

"Guanyuan..." Shen Luo spoke slowly and reported eighteen acupuncture points one after another, which were exactly the eighteen places where Fengyang Zhenren had used acupuncture to treat him.

He has been ill since he was a child, and has become a good doctor after a long period of illness. He is very familiar with the acupoints of the human body. Although he did not look at them in detail that day, it is a trivial matter for him to memorize these eighteen acupoints.

Doctor Liu acted according to the law, and soon a forest of needles appeared between Shen Luo's chest and abdomen, trembling slightly.

Shen Luo's complexion suddenly recovered a lot, and was no longer as pale as before. His body's strength also recovered a bit, and he could barely lift his arms.

Doctor Liu had a look of surprise on his face, grabbed Shen Luo's wrist and took his pulse again, and found that most of his disordered pulse had recovered.

"It turns out that this is the miracle doctor in front of you. Please forgive me for doubting your medical skills before!" Dr. Liu stood up and said to Shen Luo.

Everyone else in the room was stunned when they saw this scene.

Dr. Liu was originally a scholar, but after many failed attempts, he gave up writing and studied medicine. He had superb medical skills, but he was somewhat scholarly and arrogant. He had never bowed his head to others. Today, he actually gave this great gift to a young man.

"You don't have to be so polite. Without your help, I wouldn't be able to recover at this moment." Shen Luo said, speaking much more fluently than before.

"Liu Baichuan, may I ask the name of the miracle doctor?" Doctor Liu asked.

"I don't want to be a miracle doctor, I'm Shen Luo." Shen Luo waved his hand and said.

"Shen Luo? Are you the little miracle doctor Chunhua County Shen family? I've heard about it for a long time. The Golden Fragrant Jade from Shenji Pharmacy is great for replenishing a person's energy without harming the body. It is said that you discovered it when you were studying ancient books. I admire you! I admire you!" Liu Baichuan looked even more respectful.

The shopkeeper surnamed Hou and others were not medical practitioners, and had never heard of Chunhua County Shen family, but looking at Liu Baichuan's expression, they all guessed that Shen Luo had an extraordinary background, and the way they looked at him was suddenly very different.

The young woman in the red dress was especially worried. She just said a lot of unfavorable things to Shen Luo. I wonder if the other party heard it.

Shen Luo was stunned when he heard Liu Baichuan's words. He had asked his father to keep the matter of Golden Fragrant Jade a secret. How could it be spread out?

"Brother Liu is overly complimentary. Golden Fragrant Jade was refined by me and Shen family digital medicine shop shopkeepers. It was not the work of the next person." Although he was surprised in his heart, he said calmly on his face.

Shen Luo said this, which was tantamount to admitting his identity, and a hint of surprise flashed across Liu Baichuan's face.

"Mr. Shen lives in Chunhua County. Do you need my help when you come to Songfan County? I'm not boasting, but Liu has quite a few friends in the nearby area."

"It's just some personal matters, don't bother me." Shen Luo shook his head and refused.

He was a little surprised by Liu Baichuan's behavior, which seemed to be overly enthusiastic. Even if he was Chunhua County's famous doctor, the other party didn't have to be like this.

"Young master, don't worry. The Golden Fragrant Jade you refined saved the life of the next closest relative. Liu just wanted to repay the favor." Liu Baichuan seemed to see Shen Luo's doubts and explained.

"Shen is here just for some minor matters. I can handle them myself, so I won't bother you. I won't be polite if necessary." Shen Luo smiled.

"I understand, Mr. Shen is in ill health. Liu will not stay any longer. I will say goodbye." Liu Baichuan did not stay here longer and said goodbye.

"I return the silver needles to you." Shen Luo raised his hand and pulled out all the silver needles from his body and returned them.

Liu Baichuan accepted the silver needle, stood up and left.

"Brother Liu, please." The shopkeeper surnamed Hou stood up to see him off.

The three guys in the room and the woman in the red dress also took the opportunity to leave the room, and soon Shen Luo was the only one left in the room.

Shen Luo reached for the baggage beside him, checked it briefly, breathed a sigh of relief, took out a white jade bottle from it, poured out a white elixir and drank it.

The medicine was exactly Origin Preserving Pill. It melted as soon as it entered his abdomen and turned into a warm current flowing through his body. The feeling of weakness in his body subsided slightly and he sat up.

He sat cross-legged and started to run Minor Transforming Yang Art. As a stream of Yang Gang energy rose from Dantian, it merged with the heat generated by Origin Preserving Pill and traveled throughout his body.

After a long time, Shen Luo opened his eyes, and the feeling of weakness in his body had subsided.

He was not happy about his recovery, but his face was as gloomy as a cold pool.

The situation just now was very similar to the previous coma after waking up from a dream. It was obviously caused by a loss of vitality.

He had been taking Origin Preserving Pill every day for the past two days, practicing Minor Transforming Yang Art diligently, and had no recurrence of the disease. He thought that as long as he stopped falling asleep, he would be in peace for the time being. Now it seems that he was too naive. If he had not figured out the acupuncture method that Fengyang Zhenren used to save him that day, the consequences would have been disastrous.

The hidden dangers of loss of vitality began to manifest clearly. Although it was related to hunting for treasures during the day and exerting a lot of energy, there was really not much time left for oneself.

He even had an intuition that his lifespan might not be even the two years mentioned by Fengyang Zhenren.
