Ling Tian and the Feng family's patriarch, Feng Jinglong, exchanged pleasantries before proceeding to the medical examination.
Ling Tian sniffed the air and said, "Elder, could you please have your subordinate extinguish that incense and use the exhaust fan to dissipate the aroma in the room, or perhaps we could move to another room?"
"Oh, and why is that?" Feng Jinglong asked, full of curiosity.
"If I'm not mistaken, this incense is a top-grade Ning Shen Xiang!
This incense is made by grinding dozens of precious medicinal herbs into a very fine powder.
When lit, it has the effect of calming the spirit, refreshing the mind, and inducing a state of tranquility.
Long-term use of this incense can stabilize one's mood, promote better sleep, and even delay the onset of certain brain diseases!"
Feng Jinglong gave Ling Tian a thumbs-up. He had spent a considerable sum to acquire this incense from a renowned incense master in the country.
The incense used extremely precious medicinal herbs as raw materials, involved dozens of intricate steps in its production, took over half a year to create, and had an annual output of only a few thousand sticks.
Each stick could burn for two hours, but if one wanted to purchase it, the price was nearly 100,000 yuan per stick!
Of course, for a tycoon of the Feng family's caliber, spending such an amount was even easier than an ordinary person buying a pack of cigarettes.
Ling Tian continued to explain that using this top-grade Ning Shen Xiang could indeed be beneficial for the brain and offer some relief for Alzheimer's disease.
However, with the incense suppressing the symptoms, it would be difficult to accurately present the patient's condition to the doctor. It was akin to a patient taking antibiotics or painkillers before seeing a doctor; the test results would inevitably deviate from the true situation, greatly affecting the doctors' judgment.
"Alright, then let's go to the study!"
Following this, Ling Tian accompanied the Feng father and son to the study.
Feng Jinglong's study was antique and elegant, with bookshelves lining the walls, filled with a vast array of books.
Calligraphy and paintings adorned the walls, and Ling Tian noticed that most of them were personally created by Feng Jinglong.
A large bed-like couch occupied a space in the study, and the two men sat on it, separated only by a small coffee table.
Ling Tian first inquired about Feng Jinglong's physical condition and the progression of his illness before beginning to take his pulse.
As mentioned before, pulse-taking was merely a facade. Ling Tian secretly activated his Heavenly Eye Divine Power, scanning Feng Jinglong's entire body.
The Heavenly Eye Divine Power was far more potent than MRI or CT scans. Feng Jinglong's internal condition immediately appeared in Ling Tian's mind. His brain functioned like a high-speed supercomputer, accurately analyzing the patient's physical state, down to every diseased cell.
This examination lasted for over half an hour before Ling Tian withdrew his hand.
"How is it, Mr. Ling Tian?" Feng Jinglong asked with great urgency.
"Your overall health is quite good, but you do indeed exhibit early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. There is also slight degeneration in your brain. Although it's difficult to detect through imaging, I can confirm it through my own methods!"
"Can you cure this disease?"
"Of course, it can be cured. There are no issues, but..."
"But what?" Feng Jinglong asked anxiously.
"I have reviewed your gene sequencing. Your genes do not possess the specific mutations that trigger Alzheimer's disease, meaning there are no hereditary factors.
Furthermore, I've observed that your lifestyle and health maintenance practices are unlikely to induce this condition.
While I can cure you, if the root cause is not identified, I cannot guarantee that the disease won't recur in the future."
"This..." Feng Jinglong had not expected Ling Tian to make such a diagnosis.
"Mr. Feng, there are some matters I need to discuss with you privately."
Ling Tian said this while looking directly into Feng Jinglong's eyes.
Feng Jinglong nodded and waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to leave the room.
Feng Jifei remained standing but was also asked to leave by Feng Jinglong. Only Ling Tian and Feng Jinglong remained in the study.
Ling Tian took out a talisman, infused it with his true essence, and an invisible barrier enveloped them.
Ling Tian's actions left Feng Jinglong utterly bewildered.
"Mr. Ling Tian, what is this?"
"A small technique to isolate sound transmission from the outside.
Mr. Feng, to be frank, the onset of your illness is rather peculiar. I suspect your condition is not a common ailment but rather a poisoning!"
"This... how is this possible? I've consulted many renowned doctors for diagnosis, and my blood and hair have undergone various analyses, yet no toxic substances have been found..."
"Mr. Feng, you underestimate the methods of those who poison. In fact, many poisons, such as Gu poison, cannot be detected by modern scientific means.
These poisons are invisible and odorless. Once they enter the body, they are either rapidly metabolized or transformed into common substances already present in the body, rendering them undetectable by modern scientific methods.
Moreover, according to my knowledge, some Gu poisons can induce diseases like Alzheimer's.
If someone administered such Gu poison to you in a very small dosage, it could entirely trigger this illness without being detected!"
Ling Tian's words struck Feng Jinglong like a heavy hammer. In regions like Southeast Asia, those capable of administering Gu poison were undoubtedly sorcerers!
The problem was that these sorcerers possessed increasingly bizarre and vicious methods, making them impossible to guard against!
"Can you confirm it's Gu poison?"
"I cannot be entirely certain yet. I need to draw some of your blood for testing!
Additionally, there's something I believe you should be aware of. You invited many experts in treating Alzheimer's disease, but before they could examine you, they all met with unfortunate accidents. Do you consider this a coincidence?"
"However, the incidents that befell those experts seemed to have no common thread..." Feng Jinglong was still reluctant to believe he had provoked such a formidable entity.
"Dr. Mario from the Mayo Clinic had his entire family shot. Finding someone to carry out such an act in the United States is quite easy.
As for Dr. Lichtensteiner from Europe, he died in a car accident. For the sorcerer community, controlling a driver to crash a car into a ditch is not difficult.
And as for Elder Yu from China, we have already discovered Gu poison in his blood!"
