"Medical Saint, I'm here with the tea powder." The merchant finally arrives back. It is placed in a delicate jade box as he carefully handed it to Mo Xie. This powder costs at least 10 gold taels per 5 grams, but the merchant didn't have any hesitation handing this 200grams worth to Mo Xie.

Mo Xie nods his head and took the tea powder, he placed the powder beside him.

Mo Xie looked at Tong Bulu as he took a piece of rag and rolled it, giving it to Tong Bulu; "Bite it."

Tong Bulu was bewildered and also hesitant, a rag that's used to clean tables will go into his mouth? Such shame, but the one asking him to do it is none other than Mo Xie, hence, his hesitation vanishes as he took the rag and bit it.

Mo Xie nods his head; "Close your eyes."

Tong Bulu nods his head and closes his eyes.

Mo Xie then summoned a blade again on his fingertips, this time, only a single one on both his middle and pointing fingers combined.

Swish~ Swish~

Mo Xie then did something out of everyone's expectation. He took out the whole back part of Tong Bulu's legs, placing it on the table. Tong Bulu's expression is extreme, but he didn't open his eyes, his teeth had already pierced the rag as blood started to spurt out of his mouth.

If Tong Bulu could only see the state of his leg, he would definitely faint, The whole meat part was removed from his leg and the long bone can be seen.

Mo Xie then took the tea powder and poured it directly on the bone and slapped the part he removed back to where it was before.

"UGGGGGGGGGGGGH!!!!!!"

Tong Bulu this time opened his eyes wide as he looks up in the sky, he didn't even dare look at the state of his leg as it was already feeling the excruciating pain like his whole leg is burning from the inside with molten iron slowly crus.h.i.+ng his bones.

Mo Xie looks at Tong Bulu; "That is the tea powder's effect, it will continuously burn the poison that had merged with your bones, I can help you ease the pain but it will double the time you`ll need to recover."

Tong Bulu looked at Mo Xie, a smile appeared on his face as he asks through gritted teeth; "How much of the pain will decrease?"

"Mostly 30% will be gone." Mo Xie replied without even thinking.

Tong Bulu shook his head; "Then I will bear this pain to the best of my abilities."

Mo Xie nods his head; "Then you may sit there for now and wait for your wounds to be fully healed."

Tong Bulu; "Wh-what about the meat on my legs?"

Tong Bulu's asking for the part that Mo Xie had removed.

Mo Xie chuckles: "Don't worry, you can move it as if there wasn't even a thing that happened to your leg. Well, the pain is definitely there, so try to move with caution."

Tong Bulu nods his head and bowed respectfully at Mo Xie before returning to his previous seat, although his expression is grim from pain, his smile full of satisfaction couldn't hide.

Noticing Tong Bulu's expression, everyone couldn't help but for their turn to arrive.

"Next."

Like waiting for this word, the one that moves is the merchant that handed the tea powder earlier: "Greetings Medical Saint, I'm Long Shu Mo, President of the 7th Moon Bridge Tradings."

Mo Xie nods his head, looking from up to down, he couldn't help but sigh; "You've injured your meridians..."

Everyone present looked at Mo Xie, but not as surprised as before, only Tong Bulu, who didn't witness it earlier felt extreme shock; 'So that's how I look like earlier...'

Long Shu Mo opened his eyes widely at first, but calming himself down, he nods.

Seeing this, Mo Xie looked at Long Shu Mo with a frown; "a.s.saulting your own meridian is good and all, but getting injured due to carelessness is plain stupidity."

Long Shu Mo smiled, he knows it himself, after all, he did it when he was young. Ever since then, he was stuck at the Sky Shattering rank initial stage and never again had an increase in cultivation for about 40 years and been a merchant since then. Right now, Long Shu Mo is a 74 years old man.

Mo Xie sighs; "So you wish to cure this condition?"

Long Shu Mo smiled at Mo Xie's question and replies: "That lord... is, if it is possible, then I would definitely like it to happen, but the dream that I, Shu Mo once held had long been voided, utterly destroyed from the pa.s.sage of time, I merely wish for you to tend my son, he's in the carriage right now."

"He was born with soft bones, and ever since birth, he couldn't move his body like a normal person."

Mo Xie nods his head; "Oh, that so, I can easily clear your meridian path, but since it is not the reason you came here, then, bring the child here and let me take a look."

Hearing Mo Xie's words, everyone observing the event looked at the duo in total shock.

In the history of all the Medical Saints that had come and go, only a few, countable in the finger in a single hand had been able to cure meridians, but now, the youth in front of them can do so?! Such a thing happening would definitely be a piece of great news for humanity!

All of them started to think now if they would want to tend to their injuries or let Mo Xie clear their meridians instead.

"Thth-that... My Lord, can you really!? W-wait, my son... my cultivation..." Long Shu Mo now felt extremely vexed, will he choose to cure his son's illness? Or his cultivation?

"Oh, then you want to cure your meridian problems too? Well?"

Shu Mo couldn't help but look at Mo Xie aghast, to the current Shu Mo, it felt like a rope of salvation for his future arrived, on the other hand, the ladder he painstakingly made for his 6-year-old son is in sight, such a difficult choice to make.

Mo Xie looked at Shu Mo as he sighs; "It is not like you can only make a single demand, but you`ll just have to pay some more. I'm a living person and not a treasure after all."

Hearing Mo Xie's words, Long Shu Mo woke up from his stupidity; 'That's right... Paying some more?'

Long Shu Mo then looked at Mo Xie as he asks nervously; "Lord, how much do I need to pay for both me and my son to be cured?"

Mo Xie touched his chin as he pondered for a while; "Well, just make it a hundred thousand gold taels, that would do. Or a treasure with same worth as that."

Hearing Mo Xie again, Long Shu Mo felt excited; "Then lord, I will let my servants bring my son here first."

"Let the servants here call them, come here and let me tend to your injuries first." Mo Xie spoke as he waves to one of the servants to go to Long Shu Mo's carriage.

"But... I wish for the lord to treat my child first." Long Shu Mo spoke.

Mo Xie chuckles, on his finger, a white needle appears made purely out of Spiritual Energy: "Well, I can't have your child see his father on his weakest state now can I?"

Hearing Mo Xie's words, Long Shu Mo felt awe and speechless before his eyes glisten as he looks at Mo Xie and uttered three words; "Lord, thank you."

The tears on Long Shu Mo's eyes describes how grateful he is towards Mo Xie, the observers smiled as they nod all together.
