Hu Qianli stared at his wife. "Doctor Di, this is my son, Hu Fei. His situation seems to have gotten worse ever since he was discharged from the hospital," he told Di Jiu respectfully.
"The two of you can wait for me outside. No one is to come in and disturb me," Di Jiu told Hu Qianli and his wife. "Lin Bo, you can be my assistant."
Di Jiu didn't need an assistant. The only reason he asked Lin Bo to stay and watch was because he wanted to impart some medical techniques to him. Plus, Lin Bo had witnessed his Five-Yin Six-Yang Hand move before.
No words could describe Lin Bo's excitement when Di Jiu allowed him to stay in the room and observe. Liu Qiyan was still hesitant, but Hu Qianli immediately agreed and dragged her out of the room with him.
Hu Qianli knew very well that Di Jiu could leave without a warning if they offended him. He was a very gifted doctor after all.
Once Hu Qianli and his wife left the room, Di Jiu walked over to Hu Fei and grabbed him with one hand. Lin Bo had witnessed Di Jiu's technique before, so he was not surprised. As he watched Di Jiu pull out Hu Fei's oxygen supply, he was secretly glad that Hu Qianli and his wife were not in the room, as he was quite sure that they would have gone crazy if they had witnessed this.
"Since you have yet to master my medical techniques, I could teach you some rudimentary techniques first…" Di Jiu started explaining some medical concepts to Lin Bo as he slapped Hu Fei's chest.
"Every disease has an origin that may or may not be a virus. We must cure the disease from its roots, not just treat the symptoms of the disease. Thus, we must find the origin of the disease first."
Strictly speaking, Hu Fei's condition wasn't a heart disease, and his constant breathlessness was not caused by problems in his respiratory system. Hu Fei had a rare constitution, which had led to problems in his blood circulation.
Hu Fei's condition was actually a lot less serious than Lian Shayu's. Di Jiu's skills were also much more powerful now compared to when he had treated Lian Shayu, so treating Hu Fei was a piece of cake for him.
Di Jiu's palms were moving so fast that Lin Bo had to try his hardest to memorize Di Jiu's every word.
In an instant, Hu Fei, who had been suspended in mid-air, landed on the bed with a flick of Di Jiu's wrist. Di Jiu reached for a pill and fed it to Hu Fei.
Suddenly, Hu Fei was no longer purple due to the lack of oxygen. He was now breathing normally again. His face was slightly flushed, but he seemed to be fast asleep.
"Is he cured, Doctor Di?" Lin Bo stared at Hu Fei, his eyes wide open in shock. He knew his question was unnecessary. Anyone would have been able to tell that Hu Fei was cured.
How was this a medical technique? It was practically a dharmic immortality spell.
Di Jiu smiled faintly as he said, "Yes, he is cured. Bring Hu Qianli and his wife back in. I have a few questions for Hu Qianli."
"Sure, sure…" Lin Bo hurried over to the door and opened it.
Hu Qianli and his wife had been staring at the room's door, so as soon as Lin Bo opened it, both of them rushed over. "Doctor Lin! How is our son?"
"He is cured. You can see him now." Lin Bo was now completely relaxed. Getting to observe Di Jiu's skills had once again allowed him to broaden his medical knowledge.
Hu Qianli and Liu Qiyan forgot about their manners and practically flew to Hu Fei's side.
Hu Fei's constant breathlessness was now completely gone, his skin was no longer purple, and his face looked slightly flushed. As they looked at their sleeping son breathing so smoothly, it was obvious to Hu Qianli and Liu Qiyan that he was completely cured.
Liu Qiyan snapped back to reality. Overwhelmed with gratitude for Di jiu, she was about to drop to her knees and thank him, when he stopped her promptly. "Brother Hu, I would like to ask you some questions about the Fairy Planet," Di Jiu told Hu Qianli, who was just as overwhelmed with emotion and disbelief as his wife.
"Oh, no. There's no need for formalities. You can just call me Qianli… Please have a seat, Doctor Di. I will tell you everything I know…" Hu Qianli spluttered as he beckoned Di Jiu over.
Di Jiu smiled and said, "In that case, you can call me by my name too. I am not an actual doctor, neither do I plan on becoming one."
"Then what is your profession?" Hu Qianli relaxed a little as he dropped all formalities.
Di Jiu laughed and replied, "I used to be a lazy young man who roamed the streets. What kind of job would I be able to hold? Now, I live from hand to mouth."
"Then I'll call you Mr. Jiu." Hu Qianli, who was a friendly person, didn't believe what Di Jiu was telling him.
"As you wish."
The two of them were chatting in the suite Hu Qianli had booked. Liu Qiyan had left the room to make some tea.
"Qianli, is it true that the Earth Union is going to open the Fairy Planet to everyone? Does this mean that everyone on Earth is going to migrate there? What has been discovered on the Fairy Planet?" Di Jiu had been making plans to go to the Fairy Planet ever since he had realized that he might not have cultivated his Spirit Qi enough.
Di Jiu naturally wanted to learn more about the Fairy Planet now that he had decided to go there. As he was speaking, he passed a pill to Hu Qianli and motioned for him to swallow it.
Hu Qianli, who trusted Di Jiu's medical expertise completely, swallowed the pill without hesitation. After thanking Di Jiu, he replied, "People would never be able to go to the Fairy Planet in large numbers within such a short period of time. Besides, I don't think that the appearance of the Fairy Planet in the Solar System is good news."
"Why do you say that?"
Hu Qianli took a deep breath before he replied solemnly, "There are frightening beasts everywhere on the Fairy Planet. No, 'beasts' isn't the right word. They are more like demons or monsters. Even machine guns cannot kill some of these monsters. The only reason the Earth Union is allowing so many people to enter the Fairy Planet is so that they can start their developments there."
"Their developments? Wasn't the Earth Union jointly established by all the countries in the world?" Di Jiu asked in confusion.
Hu Qianli sneered. "Jointly established? Well, the Earth Union was indeed jointly established by all the countries in the world in theory. However, some greedy people went crazy when they found out about the existence of immortal cultivation techniques on the Fairy Planet. The Fairy Planet is no longer as united as it was. The most powerful nations have marked their respective territories. Each of them is now in a hurry to expand its territory as quickly as possible in the hopes of making more profit."
"Is there no order on the Fairy Planet?" Di Jiu asked with a frown.
"There is. The situation isn't that bad. The largest town square on the Fairy Planet has been built right at its entrance. As we speak, the Earth Union is still controlling all developments on the Fairy Planet. I personally think that the Earth Union's power on the Fairy Planet will not last long, though. Those powerful nations will break off from the Earth Union as soon as they become stronger, which could happen at any time," said Hu Qianli worriedly as he shook his head.
"In that case, those powerful nations would at best gain independence, so Earth would probably not be threatened, right?"
Hu Qianli sighed as he replied, "I have been to the Fairy Planet, so I know how frightening these monsters can be. I have even seen a monster as intelligent as a human being. If humans were to enter the Fairy Planet and provoke those monsters, don't you think the monsters would kill all the humans on the Fairy Planet and invade the Earth with the use of high-tech weapons?"
Hu Qianli shook his empty shirt sleeve. "My arm was shredded by a blade spewed out by a monster as I was hiding in a corner. Yes, you heard right. That monster could actually spew blades…"
Despite the fact that this incident had happened a long time ago, Hu Qianli still recounted the event with fear in his eyes. He would not have survived the attack if it had not been for his quick reflexes and a stroke of luck.
Di Jiu took a deep breath. Was it really possible for monsters as intelligent as humans to exist?
"There's no need to worry right now. The Earth has some skilled people who have mastered the best cultivation techniques. Their skills are so remarkable that they are almost scary. I saw a man jump more than 100 feet in the air with my own eyes! He was like a huge bird soaring across the sky…" Hu Qianli told Di Jiu. Although he was telling Di Jiu all this in hopes of comforting him, he was in fact deeply unsettled and unsure of what the future would hold for mankind.
