Chapter 506: Chapter 359: Half a Life_2

We definitely can’t be meditating all day when the time comes, can we?

What’s the point of that!

Once he becomes an Immortal, he’ll find some fun for everyone every day.

“The Yang Family… so narcissistic, right, Genshuo, if you really plan to make a move, I have a suggestion.”

“Speak.”

“Half a life.”

“I’ve played that, what about it?”

“I mean… saving only half a life is the best situation for us.”

“How so?”

“First, it can cover up that your methods are too superb, to avoid alarming the officials; second, he will always owe us something, which will put us in an invincible position; third, too much gratitude turns into enmity, doing it this way can instead maintain a balance.”

After pondering, Yang Genshuo nodded.

“Makes sense…”

…

Yang Genshuo didn’t know exactly how Li Chenfeng had reported or negotiated on his side, but it was done very efficiently.

The next day, Li Chenfeng came again.

“Mr. Yang, my teacher invites you to have a chat.”

“Let’s go.”

They took a plane to the Capital City.

A black Hongqi car picked them up at the airport and drove them to the legendary Outer North Sea Region.

In the car, Yang Genshuo also signed a long confidentiality agreement.

This illustrates the level of importance placed on the matter.

And upon arriving in the courtyard and seeing that old man who barely stood up but was still neatly dressed in his military green uniform, he understood… who this person really was.

The second-in-command of the Guards, Elder Xue.

Yang Genshuo had seen his profile before when he was still a vigorous iron-blooded tough guy.

He hadn’t expected him to be disease-stricken now.

Yang Genshuo had a sudden realization at that moment; no wonder they were being so secretive.

If the outside world knew about it, it would be a major upheaval.

He just hadn’t expected that Li Chenfeng, a medical professional, had for a teacher the second-in-command of the Guards…

“Teacher, why have you gotten up… Your body can’t sustain this yet.”

“It’s nothing, I have to look presentable when meeting a great person. Please have a seat, Mr. Yang.”

Although Elder Xue was seriously ill, he was propped up by sheer willpower, preserving the dignity of a man who had lived a military life, and he spoke with a Sichuan accent.

Yang Genshuo was impressed as he perceived this.

‘Propping up his body purely through willpower, afraid I’d look down on him… He’s an old tough guy.’

Yang Genshuo could feel Elder Xue’s pain, but his expression remained unshakeably stoic.

“Elder Xue flatters me, a great person… I can’t claim that title, it’s just that my family has some leftover wealth from the ancestors, enough to make a living.”

“Don’t be modest, I’ve seen many great people over the years, and there’s a long history of Mysterious Skills among the common folk. Mr. Yang, the medicine your family passes down brought me back from the brink of the Ghost Gate; naturally, you are a great person.”

“Ha ha, if you say so, then I am. If I had known earlier that Elder Xue was unwell, I would have offered my assistance sooner. There wouldn’t have been a need for Section Chief Li to test the waters repeatedly at my place.”

“This old body of mine, pestered by chronic illness for years, never really recovered. Those old comrades of mine couldn’t bear to see me go, and this kid Chenfeng has been running around all these years…”

“You’re only 70, Life Span is not yet exhausted; there is still time.”

As soon as Yang Genshuo said this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Elder Xue’s eyes, but he quickly hid it away.

“Ah, it’s normal for life to be afflicted with illness and death; if it can’t be forced, then so be it.”

At this point, Li Chenfeng brought over a stack of medical records from the medical team.

“Mr. Yang, these are my teacher’s medical records, please see if you have any suitable Ancient Medicines…”

“No need, I will know as soon as I feel his pulse.”

Outside, the medical team had been watching for a long time. The chief physician, Bob, nearly burst with anger upon hearing this!

‘What do you take modern medicine for?’

If he hadn’t known that this person was the provider of those miraculous Pills, his forthright nature would have compelled him to speak out.

Elder Xue, however, didn’t question it but instead felt more hopeful because when modern medicine proved futile… he could only resort to the even more mysterious traditional medicine.

Yang Genshuo took his pulse, his Divine Sense flowing in and scanning around; he understood everything immediately.

Divine Sense is more useful than any scanner!

In his eyes, the Mortal body was as transparent as anything, with no secrets to hide.

“Elder Xue, during your youthful military career… you were shot in the abdomen, you’ve been injured, you should have also done underwater work, your lower body also has issues, leaving a lingering illness. Years of high-intensity work have exhausted your Essence Qi, depleted your vitality, disrupted the Five Elements; your body’s collapse was overnight…”

Elder Xue: “Hiss~”

Li Chenfeng: “Hiss~”

Bob: “Hiss~”

To discern all that from taking a pulse?

Is he not practically a god?

With this one move, he ignited even more hope in Elder Xue.

“Mr. Yang, is there really a cure for me?”

“There is medicine.”

Although he wasn’t knowledgeable in medical arts, he knew about consuming medicine!

He was clear on what medicine was meant for what purpose.

“Please save my teacher!”

Li Chenfeng nearly knelt down again, but Yang Genshuo promptly supported him.

Elder Xue’s face was full of expectation.

Who wants to die?

The higher one’s position and power, the less they wish to die.

There are always things they still need to do.

Seeing that he had thoroughly piqued the interest of the two men, Yang Genshuo chuckled inwardly.

He had considered many people, but he never imagined… it would be Elder Xue, the second-in-command with real power in the military.

If it were him…

Latest shipborne anti-aircraft guns and various models of Dongfeng deliveries…

And that modern-day most powerful weapon.

Seeing Yang Genshuo deep in thought, Li Chenfeng quickly said, “The Ancient Medicine passed down from your ancestors is exceedingly precious, using some means there’s less left. Mr. Yang, if you have any requests, just name them, we will ensure you won’t be at a disadvantage.”

“I do have some things I wish to ask for, but… I’m not sure if it’s convenient.”

“Please, feel free to ask.”

Yang Genshuo was about to speak, but then he felt that making this request… seemed a bit like… tempting fate.
