Zhang Guanqing's disciple shivered all over, his face showing immense fear as he murmured, "Human Immortal, does it truly exist?"
In the imperial kitchen, Lin Ziyi asked, "Tian Ge, this Grandmaster seems quite approachable."
Ye Tian chuckled, "Yes, he has a very good temper."
Yan Lizhi said with a wry smile, "He's not good-tempered at all. In front of a Martial King, a Grandmaster is like a lamb facing a tiger. It's a miracle he wasn't scared to death."
Xu Wen sighed with emotion, "Master of both medicine and martial arts, Mr. Ye, you are someone we look up to with reverence."
These two were no ordinary men, and they naturally knew what a powerful existence a Martial King was, hence their deep admiration for Ye Tian.
Yan Lizhi said, "I've heard from some martial arts friends that practitioners of martial arts are inherently skilled physicians, with a far deeper understanding of the human body than ordinary doctors."
Ye Tian replied, "What he said is both right and wrong. Medical practitioners have a systematic understanding of the human body, allowing them to help themselves and others, like Bodhisattvas. Martial artists are different; they can mostly only help themselves, thus they are Arhats. The former saves themselves and others, the latter saves themselves."
A moment later, a man in his early forties, not tall, walked in. He was dressed casually and wore cloth shoes.
As soon as he entered, the man cupped his hands and bowed, "Divine Doctor Ye!"
Ye Tian smiled, "Boss He, please sit down."
Xu Wen and Yan Lizhi knew this was the wealthy tycoon He Dong, and they quickly rose to greet him.
Ye Tian briefly introduced them to each other. He Dong smiled, "Ah, Elder Xu and Dean Yan, I've long heard of your esteemed names. A pleasure."
After a few minutes of conversation, Ye Tian received a phone call. Seeing the caller ID, he stood up and said, "You all chat, I'm going to take a call."
He walked out and went to the staircase, saying, "Old Cheng, is there something you need?"
Half a year ago, he had received a special guest in prison. This guest had an immense presence. When he met Ye Tian, even the warden and others had to withdraw, and all personnel were replaced.
After he left, even the prison didn't know who he was or why he had come. Therefore, only Ye Tian knew his identity.
This person called himself Old Cheng. He said his master was not feeling well and asked if Ye Tian could diagnose and treat him.
Ye Tian then inquired in detail about the illness. After listening, he could only make a preliminary judgment. That night, Ye Tian was driven by private car to a farmhouse.
There, he met an old man in his seventies. The old man looked very familiar. Later, Ye Tian remembered that the old man frequently appeared in news footage a few years ago, either meeting foreign heads of state or participating in major events.
The old man was very amiable and always called him "Little Ye." After a diagnosis, Ye Tian concluded that the old man suffered from severe Alzheimer's disease, a condition difficult to treat, with even the most advanced medical means showing very limited efficacy.
As the illness progressed, the patient's neuronal damage would gradually worsen, leading to memory loss, aphasia, and agnosia. The old man's condition was already quite serious.
Subsequently, Ye Tian performed acupuncture on the old man and prescribed medication. After seven days of treatment, the old man's condition significantly improved, and his spirits grew better.
Later, Ye Tian instructed the old man to take his medication on time and taught his personal physician acupuncture techniques.
However, at that time, Ye Tian's medical skills had not yet reached their current level, so he could only stop the progression of the illness, not cure it completely.
On the phone, Old Cheng's tone was heavy. "Divine Doctor Ye, the old gentleman's condition seems to have worsened again these past few days. The acupuncture you taught and the prescriptions you gave are gradually losing their effect."
Ye Tian replied, "This was within my expectations. Fortunately, I can now completely cure the old gentleman's illness."
Old Cheng was overjoyed. "Really? That's wonderful! Divine Doctor Ye, I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow!"
Ye Tian said, "No need. Just tell me the location, and I'll go directly."
Old Cheng said, "Alright. The old gentleman is currently in the provincial capital meeting an old comrade-in-arms, not too far from you."
Ye Tian responded, "I happen to be going to the provincial capital tomorrow. How about I meet with the old gentleman first?"
