Chapter 319 — A Hidden Master

Alerted by Liu Tianyi's cry, Guan Xuemin walked over as well. While Wei Zhao had been needling, the two men had stood far behind for fear of disturbing him. Now, drawing close for a look, Guan Xuemin was so shaken his hands began to tremble.
"Marrow cleansing and bone purging?" Guan Xuemin naturally knew the ancient medical texts spoke of marrow cleansing and bone purging, though the art had been lost for many years! The so-called marrow cleansing and bone purging used acupuncture or herbs to expel toxins from the body, achieving an effect akin to rebirth!
Men live on grain, and toxins inevitably gather in the body. Though metabolism can expel a part of them, another part is absorbed, and as days and years pass, such poisons accumulate more and more.
What Guan Xuemin had never imagined was that Wei Zhao's acupuncture possessed such power, not only curing illness but also driving out toxins.
Hearing Guan Xuemin's exclamation, Wei Zhao started slightly, but then Old Jiao's voice sounded in his ear. "Wei Zhao, your pure energy has in part the effect of expelling poison, so even without intending it you will bring about this result. However, at this rate that lad Liu Zhenhu will likely live several years longer, and after ten years you will have to needle him again..."
That lad Liu Zhenhu? Wei Zhao was left speechless, though coming from Old Jiao's mouth it did not sound so strange. What manner of being this old monster Old Jiao was, Wei Zhao had often wished to ask, but Old Jiao always said his strength was still too weak and he need not know too much, so Wei Zhao could do nothing about it!
One thing was certain, however: Old Jiao's age must be far greater than Liu Zhenhu's, to call him 'lad'!
"Heh..." Wei Zhao smiled at Guan Xuemin without explaining. It seemed Liu Zhenhu's hundred million had not been spent in vain. Not only had his illness been cured, his life had been prolonged! Such fortune could not be bought with money. Still, since Liu Zhenhu would live several years more, Wei Zhao had to prepare them in advance, and so he said with unfathomable calm, "Old Master Liu was in poor health, so I took care of it along the way. But first I must tell Mr. Liu some bad news."
"Oh? What news? Please speak, Divine Doctor Wei..." Liu Tianyi started. He had thought marrow cleansing and bone purging a fine thing, and seeing Guan Xuemin so excited had assumed his father had gained a great boon, but now hearing Wei Zhao speak of bad news...
Even Liu Zhenhu, calm until now, could not help but look up. Had Wei Zhao not said he was already cured? How could there still be bad news? Could this marrow cleansing and bone purging harm the body? Yet he felt wonderfully at ease.
Even Guan Xuemin stopped examining the oily grime on Liu Zhenhu's body, raised his head, and looked toward Wei Zhao...
