‘That’s good!
‘That’s very good!’
The moment Yu Fulai saw Yu He’s complexion, his gaze was filled with surprise!
Right then, Yu He’s originally ghastly pale face was flushed with health and appeared rosy red. Even his purple lips had returned to their normal color.
If not for the traces of dryness and cracks on his skin, he looked just like a regular person sleeping in bed.
The vital signs of his body seemed to have reverted to normalcy.
His condition had stabilized!
His condition had truly stabilized!
Yu He, who had been deemed a hopeless case by Dr. Liao and other doctors, had been revived within a short period of time!
That was great!
Yu Fulai, a great man who had embarked in the business world for a few decades, felt tears welling up in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said to Zhou Heng, “Zhou Heng, no, Mr. Zhou, thank you once again for your gracious kindness!”
“Uncle Yu, just call me Zhou Heng. Yu He is my friend. Naturally, I’ll give my best to help him.” Zhou Heng smiled faintly as he shook his head. Then, he said to the outside, “Yingying, you can come in now.”
The moment he finished speaking, Yu Yingying hurriedly entered and dashed forward before Yu He’s bed. When she noticed his calm breathing and his normal-colored face, she cried for joy. She covered her small face and burst into tears.
In fact, she had been waiting outside the door all the while and could hear all the voices inside the bedroom clearly.
The moment she heard Zhou Heng said that Yu He’s condition had stabilized, she had nearly jumped with excitement.
However, she could not see him with her own eyes. Having seen it with her own eyes, she believed. She felt relieved.
“Thank you, Big Brother Zhou. Thank you. Thank you very much! Sob!” Yu Yingying covered her small face and sobbed. She had been truly afraid earlier, afraid that her brother who cared for her and loved her would leave her forever.
Now, Zhou Heng had pulled Yu He back from the valley of death!
She reminded herself that she had to thank Big Brother Zhou. No matter what Big Brother Zhou asked her to do, she would never say no.
“Haha! Yingying, don’t cry anymore.” Zhou Heng stroked Yingying’s hair gently. He said with a smile, “Your brother and I are good buddies, isn’t it natural to help him?”
“Mr. Zhou, you can’t say things like this.” Suddenly, Yu Fulai opened his mouth, shook his head and said with a straight face, “Even biological brothers have to settle their accounts respectively. How can I allow you to apply the needles for nothing?”
He took out a large silver ticket, passed it to Zhou Heng and said, “You must take this. You’ve done us kindness beyond any measure!”
Zhou Heng took over the silver ticket and looked at it. His eyes almost popped out.
Darn it!
‘Three thousand taels of silver?!
‘If a single silver tael is worth five hundred dollars, this amounts to one and a half million dollars!’
Be it his previous life or current life, Zhou Heng had never seen so much money before.
‘That’s ridiculous!’
“I-I can’t take this.” Zhou Heng hurriedly shook his head and said, “I’ve only stabilized Yu He’s condition, he’s not completely cured.
“As Dr. Liao said earlier, a ninth-class martial artist has to deliver the acupuncture with the help of internal qi in order to truly cure him.”
“Then, what should we do?” It was like a bucket of cold water had been emptied on Yu Fulai’s head. He instantly sobered up from his excitement. “Mr. Zhou, you definitely have a solution, right?”
“Uncle Yu, please call me Zhou Heng. If you call me Mr. Zhou, when Yu He wakes up, wouldn’t he mock me endlessly?” Zhou Heng smiled gently and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be a ninth-class martial artist when I come back tomorrow.”
The fact that Yu He was tainted with ghost aura meant that ghosts had appeared in Yellow Wood City again.
This gave Zhou Heng an inexplicable sense of urgency. He must master the power of the Five Thunder Technique Golden Book as soon as possible!
Even a small part of it would do, as long as he had the ability to kill ghosts.
If one wanted to learn that Daoism technique, one must perfect his Unification of the Five Elements Stance to enable strength to pass through his body in order to truly advance to the ninth-level.
Before this, Liu Changsheng had given him the Tiger Bone Refining Pill. It could come in handy at this time.
“You can become a ninth-class martial artist by tomorrow?” Yu Fulai was dumbfounded when he heard his words. That was a bit too exaggerated.
‘One does not simply become a ninth-class martial artist!
‘Many people have been training very hard for over forty years and still could not reach that level!
‘Meanwhile, Zhou Heng actually downplays it?
‘Is he a genius?
‘Not only is he highly skilled in the medical field, but even his martial arts talent is equally amazing!’
If he knew the words “cheat code”, he certainly would have felt that Zhou Heng had applied a cheat code.
“No matter how it is, Zhou Heng, you have saved Yu He’s life. Therefore, you must accept this money. Otherwise, my conscience will be troubled.” Yu Fulai continued to persuade him. “Take it. Even if you don’t take it now, Yu He himself will give it to you when he wakes.”
“Big Brother Zhou, just take it.” Yu Yingying also persuaded him.
Zhou Heng fell silent. He hesitated for a moment. Eventually, he accepted the silver ticket with a nod and said, “Alright. Thank you, Uncle Yu.”
Three thousand taels of silver was in his hand.
Zhou Heng felt a heavy weight.
At the same time, he was extremely thrilled.
His account had finally turned from a heavy debt of three thousand taels of silver to zero.
He would look for the right time to return the money to Cheng Jiangjian.
After that, Zhou Heng bade farewell and left Incoming Joy Restaurant to return home in order to prepare for his breakthrough to the ninth-class.
As he was on the way home, he ran into that blind fortune-teller again and decided to spend two coins to find the auspicious time of the day.
He decided to open that remaining Bronze Lucky Bag.
Just like playing card games on the mobile phone on Earth, initially, one would think of keeping sacred crystals for the next card pool, but very often, one could not control himself and use it in the end.
The same theory applied to Lucky Bags.
Moreover, he also wanted to try and see if he could acquire anything which was against ghosts.
Snap!
At night, Zhou Heng released a punch into the air. His surroundings seemed to burst as a shockwave shot out.
Then, his body vibrated, his muscles and bones resonated, emitting the roars of tigers and leopards, as if striking thunder!
It was the sound of muscles and bones humming together and producing thunderous sounds of tigers and leopards!
He set up his stances and instantly, a divinity charm of Unification of the Five Elements Stance appeared!
“You have consumed Ninth-Class Tiger Bone Refining Pill. With the speedy digestion of the cultivation of stance technique, nourishing qi and blood circulation, and with strength filling the body, the level of proficiency for Unification of the Five Elements Stance increased by 2000.”
“The level of proficiency for Prosperity Inner Strength Stance Technique increased by 2000.”
This stuff was exactly like experience pills!
Initially, Zhou Heng expected a wait of one or two days to digest it. Never had he expected the pill to be digested within a short period of time and the level of proficiency for the two stance techniques to soar on the spot.
His level of cultivation had instantly advanced to the ninth-level!
This meant that Tiger Bone Refining Pill was not of ordinary quality. It was of a very high quality that had been refined to the extreme, with almost no impurities. The medicinal power was extremely pure, which greatly shortened the time used for digestion.
A normal Tiger Bone Refining Pill was worth at least one thousand taels of silver, and such a top-quality specimen would cost five thousand taels of silver.
‘They’re so wealthy!’
Zhou Heng even slightly regretted having eaten something worth five thousand taels of silver in one bite!
However, as he saw the following notification prompts, he smiled again.
“Congratulations! The level of proficiency for Ninth-Class Unification of the Five Elements Stance has reached perfection. One Bronze Lucky Bag will be granted.”
“Congratulations! The level of proficiency for Ninth-Class Unification of the Five Elements Stance has reached perfection. One Bronze Lucky Bag will be granted.”
“Congratulations! Your level of cultivation realm has reached Ninth-Class Refining and Foundation Building, and will be granted one Gold Lucky Bag!”
‘The breakthrough of the realm actually rewarded another Lucky Bag too!
‘It’s a Gold Lucky Bag!
‘That’s cool!’
However, he found a new problem. Although he had broken through to the realm of ninth-class, there seemed to be a lethargic flow of internal qi.
His inner body was still filled with strength alone.
If one wanted to transform strength into internal qi, one would still need a higher level of martial arts.
‘An unranked martial artist who practices a ninth-class stance technique can progress to a ninth-class martial artist. If that’s the logic, shouldn’t I be practicing eighth-class internal energy now?” Zhou Heng frowned, knowing that he did not have eighth-class internal energy yet.
‘It’s better to see what’s inside the Lucky Bag first.’
The auspicious time had arrived.
“Bronze Lucky Bag is a bag equipped with literally everything. Once you open it, you’ll gain a reward you will not expect.”
“Open!”
“Congratulations! You are very lucky for being rewarded with Eighth-Class Solo Nine Swords—Broken Qi Style.”
“Congratulations! You have been granted a foundation attribute of a one point increase for agility.”
“Congratulations! You are very lucky! You have been granted Eighth-Class Complete Reality Internal Energy Cultivation Technique!”
