Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 47 The Corpse Has a Pulse
"Young Master Jiang, why don’t you choose another one? There is actually a Yellow Level mid-grade mental method here."
Ye Qingxue suggested thoughtfully.
Jiang Fan came to his senses, holding the "Undying Medical Book," and said, "I just want this one."
Ah?
Ye Qingxue looked astonished. "Why do you want this? No one can fully comprehend it." Read new chapters at novelbuddy
Suppressing his excitement, Jiang Fan said, "I would like to give it a try."
"Could you provide me with a quiet chamber? I want to read it in peace."
Seeing that Jiang Fan was not joking.
Ye Qingxue could only let out a long sigh. "Alright, it’s such a pity to waste such a great opportunity on a useless medical book."
Not long after.
Jiang Fan entered Ye Qingxue’s specially used cultivation chamber.
He immediately opened the book and began to reread it. As the clear, pure feeling emerged in his mind again.
The pinholes on the pages began to twist again.
As the pinholes moved, they gradually formed a diagram of a human body’s meridians!
Each pinhole represented a special acupuncture point on the human body.
Flipping to the second page, the pinholes also started to twist, forming a figure holding a silver needle.
On the third page, the pinholes twisted as well.
On the fourth page...
When Jiang Fan had finished reading all the pages, it was already dark outside.
He had concentrated on reading the entire day!
And the reward was immense!
From the changing arrangement of the pinholes, he had learned astonishingly miraculous medical skills.
This was indeed the inheritance of the "Undying Doctor"!
However, it required an extremely high level of comprehension to learn it.
Massaging his sore eyes, Jiang Fan left the chamber.
Only to see the mansion in a state of chaos, with many patrolling guards rushing toward the main hall.
"Did something happen?"
Jiang Fan stopped a guard and asked, "Did remnants of the Blood Bat Palace appear?"
The guard, seeing it was the No. 1 Shadow Guard, immediately stood respectfully and said, "Reporting to you, sir, it’s not the remnants of the Blood Bat Palace."
"The head of the Chen Family, Chen Yuqiu, has passed away due to his illness."
"The City Lord and the eldest miss are preparing to visit to confirm and are summoning the accompanying guards."
The Chen Family?
Chen Silin’s father?
Jiang Fan then realized why Chen Silin, as a woman, had been taking charge of the situation.
It turned out her father had been critically ill for a long time.
Thinking of his connection with Chen Silin, Jiang Fan sighed silently. "I should go and take a look too."
Soon after.
Ye Jifeng led the way.
Ye Qingxue and Jiang Fan walked side by side behind him.
"What was the Chen Family Master’s illness?" Jiang Fan asked.
Ye Qingxue sighed lightly. "He was injured by an enemy, causing his heart meridian to break, and has been relying on Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to sustain his life all these years."
"With his passing, the Chen family will likely struggle greatly in the future."
"If that enemy learns of his death, they probably won’t spare his wife and daughter."
The great enmity and gratitude of the world are inherently cruel.
The martial world is especially brutal.
If one does not eradicate their enemies today, tomorrow their own family might be destroyed.
The Chen Family Master had not died, perhaps making the enemy a bit cautious. Now that he was gone, they certainly would not let his family off.

Jiang Fan heard this and silently sighed.
He couldn’t help but feel sorry for Chen Silin, a clever and beautiful young lady.
While he was in Lonely Boat City, perhaps he could help her.
But once he left, it would all depend on her fate.
Soon after.
The Chen Family.
The entrance was already hung with white lanterns and decorated with couplets.
In the central courtyard was a black lacquered coffin.
Inside lay a middle-aged man with a square face, bleeding from his orifices, and with blackened skin, who was Chen Yuqiu.
Chen Silin, dressed in mourning clothes, knelt before the coffin, her eyes full of tears.
Her slender body appeared particularly mournful in the sorrowful atmosphere.
Besides her, several prominent families were also present.
The Chen Family was a notable family in Lonely Boat City.
They naturally had many connections with high society families.
The Zhu Family was among them.
Zhu Jianshen, representing the Zhu Family, knelt before the coffin and feigned sorrow as he said, "Uncle Chen, you died unjustly!"
"If I had known earlier that it was a heart meridian injury, I would have said anything to go back to the Green Cloud Sect and bring the Golden Silkworm Life Extending Pill to treat you!"
Hearing this.
The Chen Family Matriarch, Liu Qimin, supported him with tears and said, "You have that intention, your Uncle Chen will be satisfied in the afterlife."
Jiang Fan, however, shook his head slightly.
The Golden Silkworm Life Extending Pill was an exclusive prescription of the "Undying Doctor."
Since his death, the pill had long been lost, and the Green Cloud Sect did not have it.
Zhu Jianshen was full of lies to gain the Chen Family’s favor.
"Let’s also pay our respects." Ye Jifeng led Ye Qingxue forward and bowed to the deceased.
After paying their respects, he said, "Stay and talk with Miss Chen for a while. I’ll go back first."
After he left.
Jiang Fan also knelt and paid his respects, then looked at the tearful Chen Silin and said, "My condolences."
Chen Silin was stunned.
She felt the voice was very familiar.
But at this moment, she was immersed in grief and couldn’t care to think further, merely nodded in response.
Jiang Fan sighed silently and was about to stand up.
Suddenly, his ears moved, and he looked at the coffin with a hint of surprise.
He actually heard some pulse signs!
Pulse signs meant someone was alive!
Could Chen Yuqiu still be alive?
He couldn’t help but ask, "Are you sure the Chen Family Master’s heart meridian is completely gone?"
The abrupt question made the Chen family’s members feel a bit offended.
Liu Qimin questioned, "Young sir, what do you mean by this?"
Listening to the weak, hair-thin pulse that could stop at any moment, Jiang Fan had no time to explain.
He stepped to the body and reached for its pulse, saying, "Let me confirm."
"Impudent!"
"No disrespect!"
"Stop him!"
The members of the Chen family shouted angrily and tried to stop Jiang Fan.
An elderly man with a white beard even swung a hoe at the back of Jiang Fan’s head.
Jiang Fan had no choice but to evade.
Liu Qimin’s eyes widened with anger. "Does our Chen Family have a grudge against you? Why are you being disrespectful to my husband’s body?"
Ye Qingxue’s expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly stepped forward. "Mrs. Chen, please calm down, Chen family’s clansmen, please calm down."
"This is my No. 1 Shadow Guard, he means no harm."
The white-bearded elder stroked his beard and snorted, "If he means no harm, why is he being disrespectful to our honored family head?"
This...
Ye Qingxue didn’t understand why Jiang Fan was acting so recklessly.
Since it concerned a person’s life, and that of Chen Silin’s father, Jiang Fan quickly said:
"To be honest, I know a bit about medical skills. Just now, I sensed a thin pulse from the Chen Family Master."
"Maybe, he is still alive."
What?
Chen Silin stood up excitedly, wiping away her tears. "Are you telling the truth?"
Zhu Jianshen frowned slightly.
Who is this guy, stealing my thunder?
He said gently, "Siling, how can you believe an outsider’s nonsense over your own family’s esteemed doctors?"
The white-bearded elder also glared at Jiang Fan. "Boy, what are you implying!"
"Do you mean to say that I, Chen Wuji, the first divine doctor of Lonely Boat City, cannot tell if a person is dead or alive?"
The white-bearded elder of the Chen family, Chen Wuji, was a well-known divine doctor.
With his medical skills, it was unlikely he could mistake a dead person for a living one.
Chen Silin came to her senses, her face filled with grief again, and she knelt down before the coffin.
Jiang Fan, anxious, wanted to say more, but Chen Wuji scolded, "Take this troublemaker away!"
Ye Qingxue could no longer speak up for Jiang Fan.
She chided somewhat, "You must be exhausted, go take a rest."
Jiang Fan felt helpless.
Clearly, Chen Yuqiu was still alive, yet he was powerless to help.
At this moment!
A loud, crazed laugh came from outside.
"Chen Family, it’s time to repay the debt you owe!"
