Chapter 90: The Ultimate Skill

"Ouch!" The sudden influx of true qi made the middle-aged man feel a slight pain, almost jumping off the bed. Luckily, the pain came and went quickly, soon replaced by a warm and comfortable sensation.

The middle-aged man's face was filled with bliss. "So comfortable!"

Seeing the middle-aged man looking so relaxed, the young girl and other customers were amazed. Could it really be this comfortable?

True qi was the rarest energy in the world. Although Li Nianlong only used 1 point, it was enough to nourish the man's kidneys and improve his prostate issues. But as a grand opening special, Li Nianlong didn't hesitate to spend more. Over the next half hour, he continued to infuse the middle-aged man with 9 more points of true qi, totaling 10 points. Now, the middle-aged man's complexion was rosy, his vitality restored, and he stood tall like a giant...

"My kidneys... are they okay!?" The middle-aged man was ecstatic at the sight of his newfound vigor. The other customers were equally astonished, marveling at Li Nianlong's incredible skills.

"Rascal." The young girl turned her face away, her cheeks blushing like ripe apples, tempting enough to take a bite.

Li Nianlong wiped his hands. "As I said, massage can only provide temporary relief. To truly address the issue, you need to maintain a regular routine and a balanced diet. Your kidneys and prostate will be fine for the next month, but from now on, you must pay attention to your lifestyle and diet. It's best to practice some health exercises. As long as you can stick to it, I guarantee you'll still be romancing young girls at eighty."

"Rascal!" The young girl blushed even more. "So, you're not a good person after all. I misjudged you!"

Everyone laughed heartily, especially the middle-aged man, who handed over a thousand yuan to Li Nianlong and also gave him a business card. "Brother, I really appreciate your help. Here's my business card. Feel free to call me if you ever need anything. In this area, I still have some influence."

Li Nianlong looked at the card: Lin Zhiqiang, General Manager of Strongman Chain Supermarket.

"So, you're the owner of Strongman Chain Supermarket!" Li Nianlong chuckled. "I used to shop there a lot during my college days."

Lin Zhiqiang laughed heartily. "From now on, brother, whenever you shop there, everything will be at a fifty percent discount."

"I won't hesitate then." Li Nianlong smiled faintly. A fifty percent discount could save him a lot of money!

"Don't mention it." Lin Zhiqiang handed him a platinum card. "This is our supermarket's platinum membership card. With this, you'll always get a fifty percent discount on purchases. Take it."

"Thank you." Li Nianlong accepted the card and reminded him, "Remember to go for a check-up at the hospital, follow the doctor's advice on a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and practice some health exercises. I guarantee you'll be fine. But if you don't follow the doctor's orders and something goes wrong again, don't blame me."

"Brother, rest assured, I'll do as you say." After wetting the bed once, the middle-aged man didn't dare to joke about his health. Lin Zhiqiang nodded repeatedly, put on his socks, and got off the bed, moving his body. "Feels great! Haven't felt this good in over ten years."

"Take care!" 

After seeing off Lin Zhiqiang, Li Nianlong looked at the two remaining customers who hadn't received a massage yet. "Who's next?"

"It's my turn, I have an earlier number." This was another middle-aged man, quite overweight at around 5'6" but weighing over two hundred pounds. Li Nianlong shook his head upon seeing his complexion. "You've been overweight and sedentary for a long time, so your feet probably can't handle long periods of walking or exercise, and you likely experience frequent foot pain, right?"

"Amazing, that's exactly it! Both my feet ache like cramps, swollen and painful. Sometimes it's so painful I can't sleep," the obese man replied.

"Your lifestyle and diet must also be problematic, or you wouldn't be in so much pain. Lie down first! You have similar issues to the previous customer. It's impossible to completely cure them, so you'll have to maintain a regular routine and diet in the future. The most important thing is to lose weight. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't live past sixty."

This startled the obese man, who nodded repeatedly. "I'll definitely pay attention. How much for my condition?"

"Your condition is relatively mild, so two hundred will do."

The obese man breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, thank you."

In fact, Li Nianlong could have completely cured the man's condition, but seeing how overweight he was, he had to emphasize the importance of weight loss. For the sake of the customer's health, he had to speak more firmly to make the customer realize the seriousness of the situation and pay more attention to a healthy lifestyle.

The treatment for the obese man didn't take long, just over twenty minutes, during which Li Nianlong used 2 points of true qi to gradually relieve the pain in the man's waist. "Alright, get up and walk around."

"Okay." The obese man immediately got off the bed, put on his shoes, and walked around the room a few times, rotating his ankles and wiggling his toes. Suddenly, a look of joy appeared on his face. "Amazing, it doesn't hurt at all anymore."

Li Nianlong smiled faintly. "Remember what I said. Keep to a regular routine, eat less fatty and greasy food, exercise to lose weight. Your ideal weight should be around 150 pounds. Any more than that and it's a burden on your life."

The obese man nodded vigorously. "I'll exercise when I get back. I'll definitely lose all this fat."

"That's your own business. I can't control it, but your life is yours to manage. You handle it yourself." Li Nianlong's words made the obese man nod in agreement. After giving him two hundred yuan, the man left contentedly.

During the treatment for the obese man, two more customers arrived. They were fortunate enough to witness Li Nianlong's magical massage techniques, and they were amazed by the new masseur's incredible skills.

After the obese man left, Li Nianlong continued to massage the remaining customers. It wasn't long before the old technician took a deep breath, stretched, and woke up from his nap.

"Grandpa, you're awake!" Seeing her grandfather wake up, the young girl checked the time: 11:58. Remembering Li Nianlong's words about waking up before 12, she couldn't help but admire him. The customer who had stayed to verify the time sighed lightly, "Young master, I'm impressed."

"What are you talking about? What's impressive?" The old technician slowly sat up, and the young girl hurried over to help him put on his shoes, saying, "Grandpa

, Liu Da Ge just finished massaging you. He said you would wake up before 12, and we didn't believe him! But you woke up just two minutes before 12. It's amazing."

"Oh?" The old technician looked surprised. "Being able to control sleep time is the highest realm of a masseur, as the legend goes. Young man, who did you learn from?"
