After having breakfast, Ling Zhenfei accompanied by Watanabe Nagayumi went to the room where they had been yesterday. It was time to start a day of treatment.

Watanabe Kazushi's condition remained unchanged, and even moving posed a challenge. Ling Zhenfei knew this was due to a deviation in cultivation, causing most of the meridians in his body to exist in an abnormal state, making movement utterly impossible.

However, Watanabe Kazushi's head was still able to move and he could speak unaffected, which greatly shocked Ling Zhenfei.

The first priority for Ling Zhenfei was to expel the poison, clearing the three types of toxins from Watanabe Kazushi's body, which was no easy feat.

Because the poison had been in Watanabe Kazushi's body for twenty years, it had seeped into the marrow. Removing the residual poison in the body was simple, but completely eradicating the poison buried deep in the marrow was somewhat challenging.

Ling Zhenfei couldn't afford to think too much about it now and could only proceed step by step.

He started using the Silver Needle to apply acupuncture on Watanabe Kazushi's body. Watanabe Kazushi watched Ling Zhenfei needle with interest and said casually, "You're quite young, yet your needling technique is so advanced. I'd like to know who you learned from."

Ling Zhenfei replied, "Acupuncture is just something that every elderly doctor in Huaxia's traditional Chinese medicine clinics would know."

Watanabe Kazushi sneered, "Now, how many people in China truly know acupuncture? Your technique is far superior, a whole level above the rest."

Ling Zhenfei said, "China is full of talented people, and I humbly consider myself just a student."

Watanabe Kazushi laughed heartily, "A so-called student of medicine is hailed as the Divine Doctor by the Huaxia People. Don't you find your statement a bit contradictory?"

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback. He hadn't expected to be cornered by Watanabe Kazushi here. After a moment of thought, he said, "I was just being polite by calling myself a student, but you took it literally."

Watanabe Kazushi laughed heartily again, but Ling Zhenfei didn't continue the topic. Instead, he focused on driving out the poison with his Northern Spiritual Energy.

Ling Zhenfei's Northern Spiritual Energy circulated in Watanabe Kazushi's body, trying to force the poison out, but all the meridians in Watanabe Kazushi's body were completely clogged, and some even flowed in the opposite direction. Forcing the poison out was easier said than done.

Previously, Ling Zhenfei had always used this method to expel poison, but given the current situation, it seemed unlikely to work. He needed to think of other methods.

"What's the matter, Divine Doctor Ling? Is it difficult to expel the toxins from my body?" Watanabe Kazushi might have noticed something.

"Exactly, I'm very curious if the poison in your body is directly related to your deviation in cultivation?"

Watanabe Kazushi said, "Indeed, my deviation in cultivation was caused by the three types of toxins in my body. I tried to force out the poison, which led to the deviation."

Ling Zhenfei said, "It shouldn't just be those three poisons. There's also that very peculiar Northern Spiritual Energy that probably played a larger role in your deviation."

Watanabe Kazushi nodded, "Everything you analyzed is correct. I intended to force out the poison, but that bit of Northern Spiritual Energy kept interfering, leading to the deviation."

Ling Zhenfei asked curiously, "Who could be so despicable?"

Watanabe Kazushi opened his mouth preparing to curse but swallowed his words, saying, "Forget it, I've almost forgotten."

Ling Zhenfei knew that Watanabe Kazushi harbored deep thoughts. Claiming to have forgotten such a large grudge was simply impossible; not mentioning it might be due to other concerns.

Ling Zhenfei also recognized the violation of privacy, so he refrained from saying more and continued thinking of ways to expel the poison from Watanabe Kazushi.

The lingering Northern Spiritual Energy in Watanabe Kazushi's body was almost exhausted. This long-existing Spiritual Energy would wear down while circulating within the body.

But even worn down, retaining the power of the Zhiyi Boundary after so many years, one could only imagine the strength of the person who sent forth that Spiritual Energy back then.

Ling Zhenfei believed this person's strength surely surpassed the Realm of Reaching Wisdom and might even be at the Pursue Heart State or an even higher Traceless State, both extremely terrifying levels.

But a question arose: if the person who poisoned Watanabe Kazushi was at the Pursue Heart or Traceless State, then what was Watanabe Kazushi's realm like?

Judging from the Northern Spiritual Energy in Watanabe Kazushi's body, it was merely at the Zhiyi Boundary, but how could someone at the Zhiyi Boundary battle against a master of the Pursue Heart or Traceless State?

Ling Zhenfei couldn't understand but thought of three possible scenarios: one, Watanabe Kazushi's Northern Spiritual Energy drained over extended consumption.

Another scenario was that the person poisoning Watanabe Kazushi didn't intend to kill him but wanted him in this state.

Looking at Watanabe Kazushi unable to move, enduring immense pain, the agony from those three poisons alone was more than an ordinary person could withstand.

Ling Zhenfei couldn't puzzle it out, so he stopped thinking about it and focused on resolving Watanabe Kazushi's poisoning problem.

He used his Northern Spiritual Energy to slowly compress and guide the toxins out of the body, but the effectiveness was minimal and progress slow, making Ling Zhenfei feel it was a futile effort.

"Mr. Ling, you're also a cultivator. Do you know about Xianling Mountain?" Watanabe Kazushi suddenly asked during the treatment.

Ling Zhenfei was slightly taken aback, unsure why Watanabe Kazushi suddenly brought up Xianling Mountain.

Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Of course, I know Xianling Mountain. My home is not far from there."

Hearing Ling Zhenfei's words, Watanabe Kazushi's expression changed, and his eyes turned bright.

"You said you live near Xianling Mountain?" Watanabe Kazushi asked in shock.

Ling Zhenfei knew there must be a story between Xianling Mountain and Watanabe Kazushi but chose to speak half-truths.

"That's right, I live near Xianling Mountain, and as you know, I'm a doctor. Xianling Mountain is rich in herbs, so many cultivating doctors choose to live in seclusion nearby."

Ling Zhenfei wasn't wrong. Ancient Huaxia Taoists liked seclusion, cultivation, and many were also doctors, so many practiced all three.

They were Taoists, cultivators, and also doctors, so near Xianling Mountain were many hidden doctors.

"Then do you know of any special changes in Xianling Mountain over the years?" Watanabe Kazushi continued asking.

"Any changes? There haven't been any over the many years." Ling Zhenfei was slightly excited, unsure what Watanabe Kazushi was referring to.

Watanabe Kazushi continued asking, "Haven't there been any major disruptions or unusual events?"

Ling Zhenfei thought carefully and said, "There really haven't been any unusual occurrences or major disruptions."

Watanabe Kazushi muttered to himself, "Impossible. How could it be after all this time?"
