Half an hour later, a car stopped outside the bamboo forest, and a group of three people walked directly towards the courtyard.
The courtyard gate was open. Ye Tian was practicing standing meditation in the courtyard. His stance was called the Primordial Beginning Stance, and it was extremely difficult to practice. Those who didn't understand the knack could cripple themselves; those who did could train themselves into supreme masters.
Among the arrivals were a monk and a Taoist, along with Jiang Zhenkun. Jiang Zhenkun hid behind the monk and Taoist, his gaze flickering.
The monk was tall and burly. He boomed, "Defrauding the wealthy is a grave taboo in the martial world! Friend, put down your butcher's knife immediately, or this monk will have to defend the way and subdue demons!"
Ye Tian sneered, "You, a man on the verge of death, talk about defending the way and subduing demons?"
The monk was startled. "What did you say?"
Ye Tian continued, "Your Yongquan acupoint will ache at midnight, and your Baihui acupoint will ache intensely when the sun rises. This is a problem with your cultivation. If nothing unexpected happens, you will fall into a demonic deviation within half a year. At that time, your best outcome will be to become disabled. If you're unlucky, you'll lose your life."
The monk's face changed drastically. He gritted his teeth, took a few steps forward, and cupped his fists. "This humble monk is Zonghai from the Arhat Courtyard of Great Zen Temple! Your words hit the nail on the head. Could you be a renowned physician?"
Ye Tian said indifferently, "I wouldn't call myself a renowned physician, but I understand a bit of medicine."
Zonghai quickly asked, "Sir, can you solve my problem?"
Ye Tian replied, "Weren't you invited to deal with me?"
Zonghai was extremely embarrassed. "I believe there must be some misunderstanding."
Ye Tian sneered, "There is no misunderstanding. I intend to make him lose all his fortune." Then, he explained the cause and effect.
Upon hearing this, Zonghai was furious. "Boss Jiang, didn't you say that someone was coveting your wealth and deliberately harming you? Why didn't you mention these previous matters?"
Jiang Zhenkun retreated a few steps and mumbled, "You didn't ask."
The Taoist frowned and asked, "Master Zonghai, are you still going to get involved in this matter?"
Zonghai said sternly, "Boss Jiang was immoral from the start, and the consequences today are deserved. If I were Mr. Ye, I wouldn't let it go!"
The Taoist sighed softly and asked Ye Tian, "Your demeanor, my friend, must be that of a Martial King, correct?"
He had already sensed Ye Tian's aura, which was far beyond that of a Grandmaster.
Ye Tian replied, "Since you know, why haven't you left?"
The Taoist cupped his fists. "I am Liu Xuanying of Qingcheng. I shouldn't have come today. If you visit Qingcheng in the future, I hope you will stop by my humble abode."
Ye Tian said, "It's a pleasure."
The Taoist turned and left, leaving Jiang Zhenkun slumped on the ground, sweating profusely.
Ye Tian stared at Jiang Zhenkun. "Originally, I was going to take ten billion from you and make you suffer a little to remember your lesson. But you still wanted to turn the tables."
Jiang Zhenkun knelt on the ground. "I was wrong, please spare me!"
Ye Tian said, "Go back and prepare another ten billion. When I see the money, I will help you completely relieve your pain."
As he spoke, he kicked Jiang Zhenkun. Instantly, his discomfort lessened, and he quickly left the courtyard.
After Jiang Zhenkun left, Zonghai bowed to Ye Tian. "May I ask for your name, sir?"
Ye Tian replied, "My name is Ye Tian. Master, please come inside."
He invited Zonghai into the living room and brewed a pot of tea.
Zonghai was very respectful. "Please don't trouble yourself, sir."
Ye Tian poured him some tea and said, "I have long heard of the prestige of Great Zen Temple. Since ancient times, it has been said that all martial arts originate from Great Zen Temple."
Zonghai replied, "You flatter me. It's just the praise of martial artists. In reality, there are countless masters in the world, and Great Zen Temple merely has more people."
Ye Tian nodded. "I can cure your illness, but the treatment process may take three to five days."
Zonghai said, "It doesn't matter, however long it takes. I apologize for the trouble, sir! As for the consultation fee, please name your price."
Ye Tian stated, "I am a doctor, so I naturally charge a consultation fee, but it's not much."
Then, he used his celestial needles to clear some of Zonghai's meridians and wrote a prescription for him to get the medicine.
Zonghai clearly felt that his breathing had become much smoother, and he was overjoyed. He thanked Ye Tian repeatedly.
Ye Tian asked him to return the next day. After that, Zonghai, full of gratitude, took his leave to get the medicine and prepare it.
After seeing Zonghai off, the sky was nearing darkness. Just then, he suddenly received a call from Jin Duoduo.
"Ye Tian, are you free this afternoon? I'd like to treat you to a meal to thank you for bringing me such a large order," she said with a smile.
