Ling Tian massaged Zhuo Gang for over twenty minutes. Zhuo Gang's entire body turned red, resembling a cooked crab.
At this moment, Ling Tian stopped, picked up a talisman from the table, and held it in his palm.
Everyone was bewildered. Ling Tian's treatment had seemed proper just moments ago, but the situation had changed drastically in such a short time!
Ling Tian gently injected spiritual energy into the fire talisman. To everyone's astonishment, they watched as the talisman began to burn in Ling Tian's palm.
Then, Ling Tian extended his hand and repeatedly patted Zhuo Gang's body with his burning palm.
"Slap... slap..."
Each pat produced a slapping sound. Ling Tian's palm left red handprints on Zhuo Gang's body.
Zhuo Gang cried out from Ling Tian's patting, but his cries didn't sound like they were in great pain; rather, they seemed somewhat inappropriate.
Ling Tian now had a very profound understanding of how to apply the fire talisman.
He was now injecting internal energy into the fire talisman bit by bit.
The flame energy within the fire talisman was gradually stimulated by this internal energy, creating a slow-release effect.
Thus, after half an hour, the flames on Ling Tian's palm finally extinguished. By this time, Zhuo Gang's entire body was red.
Witnessing this, everyone marveled. Ling Tian smiled and asked, "How do you feel now?"
"So great, so comfortable. My body isn't cold at all. I feel warm from the inside out, something I haven't felt in years. I'm just a bit tired and want to sleep," Zhuo Gang said happily.
"Feeling tired is normal. Your body needs time to recover. Just find a place here to rest well and stay warm!" Zhuo Wu Jin, the patriarch of the Zhuo family, spoke up.
"Little Divine Doctor Ling Tian, I'd like to ask, is my son's illness cured now?"
Ling Tian nodded and then shook his head.
"To be honest, the yin energy within the patient's body has been completely removed by my Zhu You technique. However, the cold energy accumulated in his body over the years is not so easily cleared. My treatment this time has removed about half of it. From now on, as long as he continues to take the medicine prescribed by Teacher Lan, it will be completely cured in a few months!"
"That's great!" Everyone was overjoyed to see the changes in Zhuo Gang. The family had been almost driven mad by this illness.
Next, Ling Tian began treating others, working until the afternoon before finishing with everyone. After receiving treatment, everyone felt much more comfortable than before.
Ling Tian was also exhausted. Both his physical strength and internal energy had been greatly depleted, his face looking pale, and sweat beading on his forehead.
"Brother Lan, thank you and Little Divine Doctor Ling Tian. Otherwise, our family would have been troubled by this illness for much longer," Zhuo Wu Jin said sincerely.
"Haha, don't thank me, thank Ling Tian. I was just here to make up the numbers. To be honest, I was powerless to help with your conditions. Without Ling Tian, nothing would have changed," Lan Ruo Ting replied.
"Yes, yes. I, Zhuo, always repay kindness. Rest assured, I will not mistreat Little Divine Doctor Ling Tian," Zhuo Wu Jin said with a hearty laugh.
However, at that moment, Ling Tian suddenly interrupted him.
"Mr. Zhuo, if you'll forgive my bluntness, the treatment for your family is far from over. At the very least, the root cause of the illness has not been resolved!"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. The news Ling Tian brought plunged them back into fear.
Zhuo Gang asked, "Little Divine Doctor, if you mean our illness will recur?"
Ling Tian nodded, "Yes, it will indeed recur. If you don't stay away from the source of the illness, even if your condition is cured, it will relapse after some time!"
"Please, Little Divine Doctor, enlighten us. What is the problem, and what is the root cause of our family's illness?" Zhuo Wu Jin asked.
"The root cause lies with this house. Your family's residence has a problem! From a feng shui perspective, this is an yin house! Therefore, all of you must move out of this residence immediately and cannot continue to live here!"
As soon as Ling Tian finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room became heavy, and many faces showed disbelief. The Zhuo family members almost invariably turned their gaze to Zhuo Wu Jin.
This Elder Zhuo Wu Jin was a very assertive person, the ultimate authority in the household. The old man was stubborn and deeply attached to his home. After he built this residence, he loved it immensely, living there every day and never staying elsewhere. Moreover, the old man enjoyed liveliness and required his children to live in this residence as well. After all, the house had dozens of rooms, enough for the entire family. The large family living there was harmonious and happy, but the strange illnesses that appeared in family members over the past two years had cast a shadow over the home. Now, Ling Tian claimed the problem was with the house and asked them to move out, causing many to gasp, wondering how the old man would react.
Zhuo Wu Jin's face darkened as he fell into thought. After a long while, he spoke.
"Divine Doctor Ling Tian, asking our family to move out is not a problem, but I need a reason. When I spent a fortune to build this residence, the entire capital was abuzz. I even invited feng shui masters to specifically survey the feng shui of this residence. Later, I consulted several feng shui masters who all said this was a prosperous feng shui residence..."
Ling Tian raised his hand and directly interrupted Elder Zhuo Wu Jin.
"Elder, if I am not mistaken, those feng shui masters said that the feng shui of your residence is 'Nine Dragons Converging'!"
Zhuo Wu Jin was very surprised. He hadn't expected such a young man to understand feng shui. If he were the descendant of a feng shui master, it wouldn't be surprising, but the problem was that this young man was a doctor!
Lan Ruo Ting, standing nearby, also marveled, wondering what kind of prodigy his disciple was. As for Chen Guangyi, he no longer even felt jealous of Ling Tian. He had never heard of the things Ling Tian was saying. The gap was too vast; how could he compare?
Ling Tian asked the Zhuo family for paper and a pen and drew a diagram. This diagram appeared to be a bird's-eye view from above.
