After the old doctor removed the sword energy from Wei Shanhai's heart meridian.
Lu Qing and Wei Xinghe also witnessed this strange scene.
On the old doctor's fingertips, a cluster of white, fine sword energy, as dense as cow hair, seemed to be trapped by an invisible energy shield, struggling to break free.
Immediately afterwards, it was obliterated by the old doctor's true energy and disappeared into the air.
"That's enough." After dispelling the sword energy, the old doctor said, "Old Wei, the sword energy in your heart meridian has been completely removed by me."
"Is that all?"
Wei Shanhai was stunned for a moment.
He was still prepared to endure the pain the old doctor had described during the treatment.
Is that all?
Wei Shanhai quickly circulated his true energy and found that there was no obstruction wherever he went. His heart meridian was particularly smooth, with no trace of foreign true energy. He was overjoyed.
"The old doctor's medical skills are truly superb; I admire him greatly!"
The sword wound that had troubled him for so long, which he thought would torment him to the point of exhaustion, was so easily healed that Wei Shanhai was both surprised and delighted.
"The one who injured you, a Xiantian Realm cultivator, is indeed skilled in swordsmanship. His sword energy is subtle and difficult to deal with. It can absorb the life force and energy in your body to maintain its strength and merge with the energy in your heart meridian. But in the end, it is still just a source without roots. As long as we use the technique of sealing acupoints with silver needles to temporarily cut off the energy in your heart meridian and make it reveal its true form, it will not be too difficult to remove it."
The old doctor explained.
Wei Shanhai nodded as he recalled Wang Cangyi's swordsmanship.
Although he hated his former friend, he had to admit that the other party's swordsmanship was indeed impressive, having reached the high level of "gentle breeze and soft rain, sword energy that lingers around the fingertips".
"Doctor, is the old ancestor's injury considered healed now?" Wei Xinghe asked.
"Now that the sword energy has dissipated, his heart meridian is no longer affected. As for the other external injuries, they are easy to treat. Next, just apply some wound medicine, and I will prescribe a few more doses of medicine. Take them on time, rest for a while, and it won't be long before Old Man Wei is fully recovered," the old doctor said, stroking his beard.
"That's wonderful, thank you so much, doctor!" Wei Xinghai said with great joy.
"Treating the sick and saving lives is our duty as doctors. You are too kind, Master Wei."
The group chatted for a while longer before leaving the quiet room together.
Outside, Chief Steward Wei was already waiting.
Seeing the group emerge, the old ancestor's expression brightened considerably, indicating that the healing process must have gone very smoothly.
Overjoyed, he stepped forward and respectfully said, "Patriarch, Ancestor, the banquet is ready."
"Hmm." Wei Shanhai nodded, then turned to say, "Old doctor, you must be tired after traveling for so long. We have prepared some wine and drinks at home to welcome you and wash away the dust of your journey. We hope you will do us the honor of joining us."
"Alright," the old doctor nodded.
The group arrived at the banquet hall of the Wei residence. Before they even entered, they saw Madam Wei and Xiao Yan arriving just in time.
"Brother, Grandpa Chen!"
Xiao Yan, who was holding Xiao Li, saw Lu Qing and the old doctor and shouted happily.
"Hmm, have I caused any trouble for Madam?" Lu Qing ruffled her hair.
"No, no," Madam Wei quickly replied. "Xiao Yan is very well-behaved. I just took her out for some snacks."
"Yes, brother, Xiaoyan just ate some really delicious snacks, and Xiaoli ate a lot of fish too!" the little guy boasted.
"I can tell."
Lu Qing looked at Xiao Li, whose belly was round and full, nestled in Xiao Yan's arms, squinting her eyes and unwilling to move, and shook her head helplessly.
However, the little guy hasn't eaten much these past two days in order to hide his identity, which is really unfair. It wouldn't hurt to let him eat a little more.
Upon entering the house, everyone took their seats, and the servants began serving the dishes.
Lu Qing also witnessed what the luxurious life of aristocratic families was like.
The banquet was for only seven or eight people, but they served dozens of dishes, and each dish was different. He didn't even recognize many of the ingredients.
"Dr. Chen, Young Master Lu, Master Ma, this time, thanks to your righteous help, our Wei family was spared from being wiped out. Heaven and earth bear witness to this kindness. This cup is a toast from me to you."
After the food and wine were served, Wei Shanhai raised his glass and said...
After the toasts were finished, everyone started eating.
Lu Qing was a foodie, and seeing many dishes on the table that he had never seen before, he became very interested. After serving some to Xiao Yan, he began to taste them one by one.
After trying several dishes, he exclaimed that it was indeed a wealthy family; every dish was delicious and satisfying.
Just as Lu Qing was enjoying his meal, he suddenly heard Wei Zian muttering something beside him.
"Mom, why do I feel like the food at home isn't as good as what Doctor Lu makes?"
"Don't talk nonsense, or your father will scold you!" Madam Wei whispered, scolding him.
Although she also felt that the dishes at home didn't seem as delicious as the ones Lu Qing had cooked yesterday.
Wei Zian thought he was speaking softly, but he didn't realize that the people at the table were all very important and had already heard his mutterings.
"Oh, Young Master Lu knows how to cook? And judging from the taste, it must be incredibly delicious, that Zi'an and Ningyan can't stop thinking about it," Wei Shanhai teased.
This made Madam Wei blush.
"Not at all, I've only been in charge of the household for a short time and know how to cook a few simple home-style dishes. They're hardly worthy of being served in a formal setting. Since my wife and the others have never eaten here before, they naturally find it novel," Lu Qing said with a smile.
The group ate and chatted, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.
Even Ma Gu was not ignored. Wei Xinghe toasted him several times and solemnly promised to prepare a grand apprenticeship ceremony in a few days so that Wei Zian could formally become his apprentice. Ma Gu was flattered and overwhelmed.
After several rounds of drinks, and when everyone had almost finished eating,
Wei Shanhai said, "Doctor Chen, this time Wang Cangyi led his disciples to launch a large-scale attack on my Wei family. I believe you know why he came, right?"
The old doctor was taken aback, not understanding why Wei Shanhai suddenly brought up this matter.
But he honestly replied, "I have heard some rumors that I came here for some kind of treasure."
This is no secret.
The words spoken by Wang Cangyi's eldest disciple when he pressured the Wei family were heard by everyone in the city.
"That's right, he came for the treasure of my Wei family. To be honest, when I was young, I was not good at judging people. I once became sworn brothers with Wang Cang and we roamed the martial world together for a while. That treasure was one of the things we obtained in a mysterious place during our adventures."
"Later, we had some disputes, and after dividing the treasures, we went our separate ways and severed all ties."
The old doctor, unaware of this reason, could only say, "It's a pity."
"There's nothing to regret," Wei Shanhai said frankly. "I only regret that I didn't see through his true colors sooner and break off relations with him earlier. Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought this disaster upon the clan and almost destroyed the entire family."
The old doctor remained silent and did not respond.
He was unclear about the specific reasons back then and didn't feel comfortable commenting on them.
"Hehe, Dr. Chen, I brought this up not so that you could judge right and wrong."
Wei Shanhai saw through the old doctor's thoughts and chuckled.
"I just want to invite Doctor Chen to examine that treasure together after the banquet."
Upon hearing this, the old doctor was immediately stunned.
