Chapter 58: Explanation

aced with the questions from his parents, Liu Hui fabricated a story to explain the source of his medical skills. He claimed that an old Taoist priest had taught him miraculous traditional Chinese medicine.

He used this knowledge to heal Chen Laoye's injuries, and Chen Yixin, being Chen Laoye's daughter, naturally respected him.

Upon hearing the name Chen Laoye, Liu Guosheng's face showed a hint of surprise for the first time.

"Chen Laoye? You mean General Chen Kai? He's quite an influential figure!"

Liu Hui glanced meaningfully at Liu Guosheng. His father had a broad knowledge and even didn't know about Chen Kai, yet he had been targeted with bloodline gu poison. He must have an extraordinary background.

However, Liu Hui had no intention of probing further as he believed his father didn't think it was the right time to reveal the truth.

Liu Hui nodded and said with a smile, "Exactly, Dad. Once my medical skills improve, I will be able to cure your illness."

Liu Guosheng smiled with relief but didn't hold much hope.

He sighed, "It's good enough that you have the intention. My illness is unusual and cannot be cured by ordinary means. Every day I live is a gift."

Beside him, Fang Xueyun had a similar expression, clearly aware of Liu Guosheng's condition. Over the years, they had sought various medical treatments without any effect.

Even world-renowned doctors couldn't identify the cause, let alone provide a cure.

Seeing that his parents had lost hope in their condition, Liu Hui felt a slight pang in his heart.

He couldn't help but reveal Liu Guosheng's situation, "Dad, Mom, please believe me. I know Dad has been afflicted by bloodline gu poison. I promise that in a while, I'll have the ability to suppress the poison and alleviate Dad's suffering."

Indeed, when the words "bloodline gu poison" came out of Liu Hui's mouth, Liu Guosheng became incredibly emotional.

He grabbed Liu Hui's hands, unable to hold back his tears, "Xiaohui, can you really help me suppress the bloodline gu poison? I can't bear it anymore! If it weren't for you and your mother, I wouldn't know how to go on living!"

Fang Xueyun couldn't hold back her tears either. She embraced Liu Guosheng's head and sobbed softly.

Over the years, despite carrying the burden of their entire livelihood, only she, as his closest companion, truly understood Liu Guosheng's immense pain and suffering.

Witnessing his parents crying before him, Liu Hui's eyes also turned slightly red, but he managed to force a smile.

"Dad, Mom! Please be assured that in a few months, I'll start treating Dad. And in a few years, I'll completely eradicate the bloodline gu poison from his body, allowing him to return to a normal and healthy state."

Liu Guosheng, having experienced the grand stage of life, quickly recovered from his emotions. After enduring all these years, his willpower was impressive. His first action was to comfort his wife.

Liu Guosheng patted Fang Xueyun's shoulder. "Alright, Xueyun, stop crying! Xiaohui has a promising future, and my illness can be cured. It's like a blessing from heaven for our family. We should be happy."

Under the comforting words of Liu Guosheng and Liu Hui, Fang Xueyun gradually stopped crying and returned to normal, although her eyes remained slightly swollen.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Hui proposed to learn some medical skills from the old Taoist. It was inconvenient to do so at home, so he wanted to move out. After all, practicing the Starry Body Refinement Technique at home was inconvenient due to the presence of others. Both of them had no objections as it concerned Liu Guosheng's future recovery, so they readily allowed Liu Hui to arrange his entire vacation.

In the following days, Liu Hui resided in the Yuan'an community. However, he didn't spend most of his time in his room but rather in the Chuanshan Park.

He would only return to the rental house in the Yuan'an community when he needed to eat or take a medicinal bath.

After these days of cultivation, the previous medicinal bath formula was no longer effective. Now, Liu Hui could only rely on daily practice of the Starry Body Refinement Technique to feel the progress in his cultivation.

Each time he felt a slight improvement, he would have the thought of consuming the century-old ginseng, but he managed to overcome this difficult temptation.

The ginseng had to be saved for when he broke through the mid-stage of body refinement.

One day, Liu Hui's phone suddenly rang, but it was from an unknown number, which struck him as strange since he had the numbers of familiar people saved on his phone. He wondered who could be calling.

"Hello, is this Liu Hui?" A gentle and pleasant female voice came through the phone.

"Yes, I'm Liu Hui. May I ask who you are and why you're looking for me?" he responded.

"I'm Song Qianxue. You mentioned that there was a Feng Shui problem in my house. My father has invited a Feng Shui master to come tomorrow for an inspection. Do you have time to come and provide some guidance?" On the other end of the phone, Song Qianxue couldn't help but bite her lip. She found it infuriating that Liu Hui couldn't even recognize her voice.

Liu Hui was somewhat surprised by Song Qianxue's call, but he wasn't interested in this matter. He was about to refuse, but suddenly he thought about the gloomy aura around Song Qianxue.

He couldn't help but feel curious about how people on Earth cultivated and how such gloomy aura formed. Considering that this could potentially provide him with methods to enhance his cultivation, Liu Hui readily accepted Song Qianxue's request.

"Alright, I'll come to pick you up tomorrow morning. Where are you currently living?" Upon hearing Liu Hui's immediate acceptance, Song Qianxue's voice became somewhat cheerful, indicating that she must be in a good mood.

"Tomorrow, wait for me at the entrance of Chuanshan Park. Once you're there, call me, and I'll arrive quickly."

After confirming the time and location to meet with Song Qianxue, Liu Hui ended the call and continued his practice of the Starry Body Refinement Technique.

The path of cultivation lay in perseverance, even if the progress now was minimal, there should be no slacking off. In the past, even in the abundant spiritual energy of the immortal cultivation world, significant progress was still difficult to achieve at higher levels.

Even the extraordinary Immortal Venerables didn't solely rely on pills or precious treasures to enhance their cultivation; they diligently absorbed spiritual energy to improve.

That night, Liu Hui practiced in Chuanshan Park once again, with the morning dew wetting his clothes. Thinking about his plan to meet the Feng Shui master with Song Qianxue in the morning, Liu Hui didn't linger on the mountain and returned to the Yuan'an community. He changed into clean clothes and waited for Song Qianxue to arrive.
