21: Chapter 21 Nine Yang Divine Needles, Bringing the Dead Back to Life

"Mom!" Ling Shuang's face was filled with despair and helplessness, but she was too late to stop her, and could only watch helplessly as her mother slammed her head against the wall.

Just at that moment, a figure flashed over like lightning.

It was actually Jiang Chen.

At the critical moment, Jiang Chen reached out and grabbed Mrs. Ling's shoulder.

Seeing that Jiang Chen had stopped her mother from committing suicide, Ling Shuang let out a long sigh of relief, but Jiang Chen's next words gave her a massive headache.

"Second Sister-in-law, I can cure Uncle Ling."

Mrs. Ling had been determined to die, but upon hearing these words, she stared fixedly at Jiang Chen and asked, "You... who are you? Can you really cure Ling Weixian? Really?"

Ling Shuang trotted over, hugged Mrs. Ling's arm, and introduced him, "Mom, don't you remember? He is Jiang Chen!"

"Jiang Chen?"

Mrs. Ling looked confused, but quickly reacted and exclaimed, "You are the fourth son from the Jiang Family who was in jail? You've come out?"

"Yes, Auntie, I just got out a few days ago."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly.

Upon learning that the person before her claiming to be able to save her husband was actually the playboy from the Jiang Family, Mrs. Ling immediately looked disappointed.

Ling Chao, standing to the side, sneered, "Mom, this Jiang brat is just bragging. Dad has terminal cancer; not only is there no successful precedent in China, there isn't one anywhere in the world."

"Besides, he used to be an ignorant playboy, and now he's an ex-convict. How would he know anything about saving lives?"

Seeing Ling Chao constantly calling Jiang Chen an ex-convict, Ling Shuang looked displeased and said, "Ling Chao, stop it."

Ling Chao knew about the relationship between Ling Shuang and Jiang Chen's second brother, and said with a teasing expression, "Why can't I say it? Isn't he just out of prison? Isn't he an ex-convict? Why can't people say it?"

"I reckon he couldn't find a job after getting out of prison, so he lied to you saying he could cure illnesses to swindle some medical fees. Don't think I can't see through it."

Jiang Chen said calmly, "I'm not taking your money. I'm just doing this to help Second Sister-in-law."

"What Second Sister-in-law? Ling Shuang is only dating your second brother. Stop trying to get close to us!"

Ling Chao's tone was very rude, filled with disdain for Jiang Chen.

Dr. Lu also stepped forward at this moment, swept a glance at Jiang Chen, and said, "Kid, you say you can cure Mr. Ling, do you have a medical license? Which medical school did you graduate from?"

Before Jiang Chen could speak, Ling Chao cut in, "Dr. Lu, this kid used to be a famous playboy in our Jinling; he doesn't know anything about medicine. You're asking in vain."

"An ex-convict claiming he can cure my dad? Cure your own mother!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Chao saw a black shadow flash before his eyes.

"Slap!" A solid slap landed on Ling Chao's face.

Ling Chao was sent flying, his body slamming into the wall with a dull thud.

The person who struck was Jiang Chen.

Ling Chao covered his face, held his waist, and climbed up from the ground.

He roared at Jiang Chen, "You Jiang bastard, you're just an ex-convict, how dare you hit me? Do you believe I'll have people break your dog legs right now?"

But soon, Ling Chao's angry expression was frozen in shock.

He saw Jiang Chen looking down at him from above, his eyes cold and deep, as if containing endless killing intent.

"Do not insult my parents. If I hear it again, you die!"

Ling Chao immediately felt an invisible pressure, as if it were about to crush him into pieces.

He was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak again.

Ling Shuang was afraid that Jiang Chen would actually kill Ling Chao, so she quickly stepped forward and said softly, "Jiang Chen, I appreciate your good intentions, but now is not the time for you to act tough. You should go back first."

Jiang Chen looked at Ling Shuang and said, "Second Sister-in-law, I can really cure Uncle Ling. Believe me."

"Hmph!" Dr. Lu sneered twice upon hearing this, his face full of disdain.

"Kid, Mr. Ling has terminal lung cancer. Not to mention you're just an ex-convict, even if Bian Que were alive, he couldn't cure him."

Jiang Chen glanced at Dr. Lu and said with a half-smile, "Just because you can't cure him doesn't mean others can't."

"You..." Dr. Lu was so angry that his beard bristled and his eyes widened.

"Treat him, please treat him!" Mrs. Ling ran over quickly, grabbing Jiang Chen's hand tightly.

"Jiang Chen, as long as you can cure Uncle Ling, I will give you however much money you want."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Auntie, I said, I don't want money."

As he spoke, he turned and walked to Ling Weixian's side.

"Second Sister-in-law, take them outside. Without my word, no one is allowed to enter."

Seeing that Jiang Chen was so confident, Ling Shuang had no choice but to trust him.

"Let's all go out."

Ling Shuang hugged her mother's arm and urged Ling Chao and Dr. Lu.

Ling Chao covered his face, walked out of the room, and questioned Ling Shuang, "Do you really believe that ex-convict can cure Father?"

Ling Shuang was silent.

To be honest, she didn't believe it.

But seeing Jiang Chen so confident gave her a glimmer of hope.

Mrs. Ling felt the same way as Ling Shuang.

Dr. Lu stood outside the door with his hands behind his back and sneered, "I just examined the patient, and there is absolutely no sign of life. Medically speaking, he is already dead. I think you should all stop hoping and start preparing for the funeral."

Ling Shuang and Mrs. Ling said nothing.

They both longed for a miracle to happen.

Inside the room, Jiang Chen looked at the lifeless-looking Ling Weixian and smiled, "Uncle Ling, you are really lucky to have met me at the very last moment of your life. In prison, I learned Heaven-Defying medical skills from my Master, enough to bring you back from the dead."

"The process might be a bit painful, you have to endure it."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen took out silver needles from his pocket.

At the same time, he circulated the Tai Xuan Sutra within his body, and wisps of golden True Qi surged from his fingertips, slowly seeping into the silver needles.

"Nine Yang Divine Needles!"

Jiang Chen shouted in a low voice, his technique as fast as lightning, and the silver needles instantly pierced into Ling Weixian's body.

The human body has the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and the Twelve Meridians; among them, the one that governs life and death is the Yang Meridian within the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

Once the Yang Meridian is severed, Yin and Yang are separated.

The Nine Yang Divine Needles that Jiang Chen was performing were meant to connect Ling Weixian's Yang Meridian using True Qi and silver needles.

Soon, the Yang Meridian inside Ling Weixian's body was connected by the silver needles, and the Death Qi inside his body slowly dissipated.

About half an hour later, Ling Weixian's originally pale face showed a tinge of color, his body regained vitality, and his heart slowly began to beat.

At this moment, Jiang Chen was covered in sweat, his clothes soaked through.

The Nine Yang Divine Needles brought people back from the dead, which was a Heaven-Defying act, and it consumed his True Qi excessively.

If Ling Weixian were not Ling Shuang's father, he wouldn't have risked such a treatment, no matter how much money he was offered.

Soon, Ling Weixian's pulse returned to normal, and his breathing was steady.

It wouldn't be long before he woke up.

However, this was only the first stage of treatment.

Although Ling Weixian had regained vitality, he only had three days of life left, which was something Jiang Chen had forcibly snatched from the hands of the King of Hell.

To fully recover to normal, he still needed a Medicinal Pill.

Jiang Chen let out a long sigh of relief, opened the door, and said to the expectant Ling Shuang and Mrs. Ling, "Second Sister-in-law, Auntie, the treatment for Uncle Ling went very smoothly. He will wake up soon."

Everyone was shocked to hear this.

Had Jiang Chen really cured him?

Looking at Jiang Chen again, they found that his whole body was soaked through, as if he had been soaked in water.

"Jiang Chen, you said Weixian will wake up soon?" Mrs. Ling asked, her face full of disbelief.

Jiang Chen nodded.

At this moment, Ling Chao glanced inside and sneered, "Mom, look at my dad, there's no sign of him waking up. How can you believe the words of an ex-convict?"

"I think he clearly took a bath beforehand to make himself look exhausted, just to gain trust and swindle money."

Ling Shuang wanted to speak up for Jiang Chen, but seeing that her father showed no signs of waking up, she gave up.

Jiang Chen ignored Ling Chao and the others, and instead looked at the silent Ling Shuang, "Second Sister-in-law, do you not believe me either?"
