My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 207: Heartless Man, Heavenly Heart Grass
"Such a woman isn’t worth pining over!" Yang Qi glanced at Cao Zhendong. "Make up your mind, just like I did. You’ll find that life goes on just fine without her!"
"I’ll take your advice! I’ll divorce her as soon as I get back!" Cao Zhendong said, gritting his teeth.
"There’s no rush. Divorcing her now would let that bitch off too easily," Yang Qi said coldly. "She needs to be financially ruined. More importantly, she must pay the price!"
Yang Qi empathized with him, which made him hate such behavior even more.
"You wouldn’t mind if I took a look at your legs, would you?" Yang Qi asked.
"You know how to treat injuries?" Cao Zhendong was stunned. Although Yang Qi is a pharmaceutical prodigy, he isn’t known for clinical treatment.
"You’ll see soon enough!" Yang Qi smiled. He lightly pinched Cao Zhendong’s legs and then sighed with relief. This situation is far less serious than Wang Nantian’s condition. It’s just a simple fracture. Although surgery can’t fix it, with the Nine Dragons Divine Needle and a Lesser Rejuvenation Pill, treating such a bone injury will be a piece of cake.
"This might be extremely painful. Can you handle it?" Yang Qi asked, looking up.
"As long as you can heal me, I can bear any amount of pain! What could possibly hurt more than being betrayed by your own woman?" Cao Zhendong said mockingly.
"Good. As long as you can endure it, we’re set!" Yang Qi said. "Zhang Bao, clear a table!"
"Yes!" Zhang Bao nodded and immediately cleared a table.
Cao Zhendong lay down on it.
Yang Qi took out the silver needles he always carried. With a flick of his hand, nine silver needles flew out at once, embedding themselves in Cao Zhendong’s legs. The needles formed a pattern resembling a divine dragon coiled over his legs.
He injected his Spiritual Power, and the silver needles began to take effect. The bones that hadn’t healed properly were instantly shattered by Yang Qi.
"AAAAH—!" Cao Zhendong screamed in agony. The pain was bone-deep.
Yang Qi didn’t use acupuncture for anesthesia because it would affect the recovery of the nerves in the legs. As long as Cao Zhendong could endure the pain, it wasn’t necessary.
Cao Zhendong truly proved himself to be a tough man. He was the same man who hadn’t betrayed Yang Qi even after having his legs broken. Now, during the treatment, he wailed continuously but never fainted, gritting his teeth and holding on.
About three minutes later, the pain began to subside as the shattered bones regenerated. Yang Qi fed Cao Zhendong a Lesser Rejuvenation Pill. Combined with the acupuncture treatment, the bone fragments gradually fused and reformed. The treatment concluded after a full hour.
"Alright, get down and try walking," Yang Qi said with a smile, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
This was much easier than the last time. When I treated Wang Nantian, I was only in the Qi Refining Stage. Now, I’ve already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. Coupled with the fact that Cao Zhendong’s injuries weren’t as severe, the treatment was naturally much smoother.
"This is impossible!" The next moment, Cao Zhendong was beside himself with joy. He couldn’t believe it—his legs were healed! He could walk freely without crutches. He could even jump around without any problems. Everything was back to normal. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
He could hardly believe it. "Boss Yang, this is just miraculous! I’m really healed! I’m healed! I can walk!"
Li Qingyan, watching from the side, was also dumbfounded. Although she had already witnessed Yang Qi’s medical skills at the National Medicine Clinic, she was much closer this time and saw everything more clearly. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she would have thought Yang Qi and Cao Zhendong were in cahoots. It was too unbelievable.
"Prepare a table with good wine and food!" After the treatment, Yang Qi was tired and ready for a good meal.
Just then, Li Qingyan knelt before him. "Divine Doctor Yang, I was disrespectful to you earlier. It was my fault, and I apologize. I hope you can save my life!" she pleaded.
She was born into a wealthy family, the center of everyone’s attention. She had never knelt to anyone before. Even her grandfather, the Sect Leader of the Eagle Country’s Hongmen, had never received such deference from her. But today, she knelt before Yang Qi.
"I can’t cure your illness," Yang Qi said, shaking his head.
"You haven’t even examined me! How do you know you can’t cure it?" Li Qingyan grew anxious.
"You have no heart," Yang Qi stated indifferently.
Li Qingyan’s body trembled as she stared at Yang Qi in shock. She couldn’t believe it. Yang Qi hadn’t performed any examination. He had merely glanced at her and knew her condition. It was simply incredible. This only strengthened her belief that he could save her.
"Mr. Yang, I’m willing to pay any price. Please, as long as you cure me!" Li Qingyan said.
"I told you, I can’t," Yang Qi said with a sigh. "You should get up first."
"What does it mean to have no heart?" Cao Zhendong asked curiously.
Yang Qi glanced at Li Qingyan before explaining, "A ’heartless person’ is exactly what it sounds like: someone without a heart."
"Impossible! How can a person live without a heart?" Zhang Bao exclaimed in surprise.
"Then tell me, how do people whose hearts have failed survive?" Yang Qi countered.
"An artificial heart," Zhang Bao replied.
"Correct. Although she doesn’t have a heart, there’s something else in its place acting as a substitute. But naturally, this substitute doesn’t work as well as a real heart. She won’t live past thirty, and an artificial heart is not a viable replacement for her!" Yang Qi said with a sigh.
"Such a bizarre thing actually exists?" Cao Zhendong was equally astonished.
"Most people in this world only ever see the surface," Yang Qi said. "In the Southern Border, there is a Gu Technique that can replace a person’s heart with a Gu Insect on the brink of death, prolonging their life by more than a decade. I suspect Miss Li had heart problems as a child and then went to the Southern Border to have this Gu Insect implanted."
"Everything you’ve said is correct. But why can’t it be treated?" Li Qingyan asked desperately.
"There’s no way around it. There are only two methods to treat you. The first is a heart transplant, but for you, the success rate would be extremely low, and finding a compatible match would be incredibly difficult. The second is to help that Gu Insect mature into your new heart, becoming fully integrated with your body. Not only would there be no more side effects, but your heart would actually become healthier and stronger than anyone else’s!
"The problem is, this second method requires a medicinal herb called Heavenly Heart Grass, which is exceptionally rare. I don’t have it. Therefore, I can’t treat you."
"Heavenly Heart Grass!" Li Qingyan stood up. "I will find it! As long as Mr. Yang is willing to treat me, I will repay you with a lifetime of service!"
"Alright, then." Yang Qi took out a piece of paper and drew a picture of the Heavenly Heart Grass on it. The plant was very distinctive and easily recognizable.
Li Qingyan carefully stored the drawing away, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
At that moment, the food arrived. The three of them enjoyed a sumptuous meal. Perhaps today, all three had managed to rid themselves of a heavy burden.
Afterward, Li Qingyan was the first to leave. Yang Qi then took Cao Zhendong to his mansion, not planning to let him return home that night. Tomorrow, I’ll settle all of his matters at once.
That evening, Yang Qi and Cao Zhendong discussed methods to crush the Kang City Commerce Alliance and strategized on how to manage the aftermath. This was no small matter, as any misstep could lead to significant trouble.
