The volunteers had already retreated to the perimeter of the plaza.
"Your Excellency, may we begin the treatment now?" Lu Junxin asked Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan nodded, smiling. "Yes, we can."
"Within half an hour, I will have all these people standing up from the ground."
"Use the loudspeaker to tell those people not to be afraid when the lightning descends from the sky. It will not harm them."
A special police officer responsible for maintaining order immediately grabbed a loudspeaker and shouted towards the plaza.
"Attention ladies and gentlemen,"
"Your Excellency will begin the treatment shortly."
"Once lightning descends from the sky and strikes you,"
"Please do not be afraid, do not panic. This lightning will not cause you any harm!"
The special police officer repeated the announcement several times before lowering the loudspeaker.
At this very moment!
Cheng Xiaofan waved his hands towards the sky twice more.
Dragon power surged into the sky once again.
Thick clouds immediately converged into a massive vortex, like a millstone, spinning furiously above the plaza.
Everyone present stared at the celestial phenomenon unfolding in the sky, mouths agape.
"Wow, how magical!"
A councilor exclaimed.
Crack!
Just then, a thunderous sound echoed from the swirling clouds above.
Immediately, countless bolts of lightning, accompanied by thunder,
Poured down upon the people lying on the plaza.
The lightning struck their bodies, forming streaks of blue electricity,
Spreading like a spiderweb across the entire plaza.
The men and women lying on the ground,
Seemed to be experiencing immense pleasure, groaning one after another.
In an instant, the sounds of the men, women, old and young, rose and fell like surging tides, intermingling with the lightning.
The white forms began to writhe rhythmically amidst the groans.
"Uh,"
"What's happening to them?"
Lu Junxin asked Cheng Xiaofan with a bewildered expression.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "They are expressing their inner joy!"
"You see, this lightning I've summoned from the heavens not only causes no pain when it strikes people, but it also makes the patients feel an indescribable comfort from the inside out."
Upon hearing this, Lu Junxin exclaimed, "Watching this scene is truly miraculous!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled at the councilors. "Among you, if anyone suffers from aches and pains or has sustained injuries to their joints, feel free to come forward."
"Let the lightning strike you lightly, and you will be instantly healed."
Hearing him say this, several male and female councilors, disregarding their dignity, immediately ran down from the steps.
As they ran, they shed their clothes.
They lay down on the plaza, completely naked.
Lu Junxin, seeing this, also seemed tempted.
But considering he was the President, he did not dare to move.
"Wow, this is too incredible!"
"Look, these streaks of lightning are so beautiful!"
"Yes, in my life, I have never witnessed such a spectacle!"
"I truly can't imagine that such a method of healing exists in this world."
"Seeing how ecstatic the patients look, I feel itchy all over and want to lie down on the plaza too."
"Alas, you haven't seen, there are too many people on the plaza, we can't squeeze in anymore."
The people gathered around the plaza were shouting as if they had gone mad.
Everyone took out their phones or cameras, scrambling to capture the scene before them.
Afraid of missing even a single miraculous shot.
After more than ten minutes, Cheng Xiaofan waved his hand.
The lightning that had been descending from the sky instantly vanished.
Then!
He took out a large bottle from his backpack.
He retrieved the pills he had refined yesterday and tossed them into the air.
The pills, as if swept up by an invisible force,
Formed a dragon-like stream and entered the center of the vortex in the sky.
Not long after.
A fine rain began to fall from the sky.
It showered upon the paralyzed individuals lying on the plaza.
The wind blew the mist, which drifted like a light veil between heaven and earth,
Releasing wisps of refreshing fragrance that spread all around.
"Wow, it smells so good!"
"What a fragrant little rain!"
"I didn't expect the rain falling now to have such a wonderful scent!"
"Yes, smelling this fragrance makes one feel refreshed and invigorated!"
"I'm almost envious of those patients lying on the plaza!"
"Yes, if I could experience the lightning and this rain, I would truly wish to be one of the paralyzed!"
For a time, the people around the plaza chattered incessantly.
Meanwhile, those lying on the plaza had stopped groaning.
Like countless fish, they were smacking their lips, swallowing the raindrops.
As they swallowed the rainwater, some began to get up from the ground, standing on their feet.
One, two, three...
Ten, a hundred, a thousand...
In no time, those who had been lying on the ground were all standing up.
"Alright,"
Cheng Xiaofan waved his hand, "This treatment concludes now!"
Immediately, the dark clouds gathered above the plaza vanished without a trace.
Lu Junxin said with a hint of lingering reluctance, "What, it's over already?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled. "President Lu, what is it? Do you wish to prolong this treatment?"
Lu Junxin quickly replied, "No, no, no."
"What I mean is, even I, sitting beside you, was immersed in that indescribable atmosphere and felt a sense of reluctance to part with it!"
Cheng Xiaofan burst into laughter. "President Lu, to be honest, I've actually given these people a bargain today."
"After being bathed by my lightning and medicinal rain, their bodies will be free from illness for at least ten years."
"Ah, it has such a great effect?"
Lu Junxin was filled with regret upon hearing this.
If he had known, he would have lain down on the plaza too,
To receive the blessing of the Esteemed Master's lightning and medicinal rain.
Alas, being a President comes with too many constraints.
"Esteemed Master, you are too powerful!"
"Esteemed Master, I have always suffered from spinal osteomyelitis. I lay on the plaza just now, and I feel completely cured!"
"Yes, my knees have been painful for years, and I've taken countless medicines without effect, but now they don't hurt at all!"
"That's wonderful, my back pain has miraculously disappeared!"
At this point, those male and female councilors ran over, surrounding Cheng Xiaofan and speaking excitedly.
Cheng Xiaofan frowned and said, "Get away from me. Are you not afraid of dirtying my sacred eyes?"
