Ye Lingchen nodded. “Don’t worry, Grandmaster Hao.”
After ending his sentence, he laid eyes on Big Black’s body again. The spiritual strength in his body covered the palm of his hand and began flowing into Big Black’s body.
Ye Lingchen was already very deft in utilizing the spiritual strength of cultivation. Based on Ye Lingchen’s guess, such spiritual strength was used to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to sustain the body. It was a very powerful technique to maintain one’s health. Through the system’s upgrade, Ye Lingchen was even able to manipulate that spiritual energy.
Facts have proven that all that spiritual energy could be used infinitely. It could be used in Ye Lingchen’s medical skills, and most importantly, it could improve physical fitness and prolong one’s life.
The most typical examples of it were Old Tortoise and the giant python. Those two giants did not have a definite method of refining Qi but simply relied on instinct to absorb nourishment through spiritual energy. No one knew how long they had lived to be able to grow to such a level.
Ye Lingchen could distinctly feel the benefits that the spiritual energy accorded him. Cultivation was not something to be joked around with.
Since Big Black’s lifespan was up, then Ye Lingchen could almost certainly extend its lifespan!
As the spiritual energy entered Big Black’s body, Ye Lingchen could discern that all of its bodily functions had aged. Whether it was its blood vessels or heart, they had all weakened.
In fact, all things considered, the dog had lived a long life. Apart from aging, there were no signs of hidden diseases in its body and it was very healthy.
With the influx of spiritual power that resembled water trickling into dry earth, he began nourishing its vitality.
“Woof, woof—”
Big Black licked its mouth and began whimpering in a low voice. His eyes looked at Ye Lingchen with much gratitude.
Ye Lingchen could understand dog language, so he knew what it was trying to say, “This human being is so powerful. It feels so good. Thank you. I feel like I can live again. Thank you, celestial. Thank you.”
Big Black was very docile. It even closed his eyes and allowed Ye Lingchen to smoothen the black hair on its body.
Ye Lingchen smiled slightly and pressed his palm on Big Black’s back. Strands of spiritual power flowed steadily along its meridians, causing Big Black’s already dead body to regain its luster and undergo some improvement.
Barely moments later, Big Black’s entire temperament had changed noticeably. His eyes were bright, he became more energetic, and his spirit was building up considerably.
Everyone was watching that scene and were all surprised, especially the veterinarians.
“This… How is this possible? How did you do it?” the young veterinarian could not help but ask.
Subsequently, the other veterinarians also began causing a scene.
“This is resurrection from the dead! It really is a resurrection! This is incredible! There’s no logic behind it at all!”
“Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! He didn’t do anything at all. He just touched the dog. How could it be healthy again?”
“It must be fake! I think this is its final moment of energy!”
“Yes, yes, this is its final flash of energy. This dog hasn’t been cured at all!”
Such a miracle had a direct impact on the veterinarians’ worldview. They racked their brains and were unable to figure out how Ye Lingchen did it.
“A stimulant. It must be a stimulant!” The young veterinarian’s eyes lit up suddenly and he declared, “You’re giving this dog a stimulant. You’re accelerating its death with malicious intent!”
“It makes sense. Only stimulants can have this effect!”
“This is despicable, heartless!”
The other veterinarians remarked one after another.
Ye Lingchen smiled coldly. “Are all of you blind? I’m right in front of everyone. Wouldn’t you see it if I injected a stimulant? If your attempt failed, it doesn’t mean I’ll fail too, right? Ridiculous!”
The veterinarians were immediately speechless, with the young veterinarian’s complexion turning pale.
At that point, Big Black’s spirit had recovered and he stood up. He then rubbed his head on Ye Lingchen’s body in an extremely friendly manner.
The surprised Grandmaster Hao immediately ran to him and hugged Big Black. He was overjoyed to see Big Black struggling and coming back to life.
“Big Black, come and hug me!” Hao Yun wiped away a tear and waved at Big Black. Big Black ran over at once, prompting a smile from Hao Yun.
Grandmaster Hao’s face flushed with excitement and he held Ye Lingchen’s arms with joy. “Young man, your medical skills are really amazing. Thank you so much. This is simply a miracle.”
Ye Lingchen smiled modestly. “It’s just some Chinese medical techniques passed down by our ancestors. It just so happened that I understand a bit about it.”
“It’s passed down by our ancestors, indeed. Chinese culture is indeed profound and mysterious. I’m lucky to have met you today,” Grandmaster Hao exclaimed suddenly with an enlightened look.
The other veterinarians were also slightly shocked.
“Ah, so it’s an ancestral technique. No wonder it’s unheard of.”
“China’s heritage runs very deep, but unfortunately we’ve lost many things.”
“It turned out to be Chinese medicine that came from our ancestors. No wonder it’s so amazing.”
…
Ever since the trend of worshipping foreigners appeared and foreigners prevailing, most things in China had been treated as insignificant. Far too many things were lost, while legacies spanning thousands of years vanished in a snap.
When people gradually came to their senses, they finally realized that there were precious things left behind by their ancestors, but could no longer find them anymore.
“Hehe. Dogs don’t lie. The results are very obvious.” Qin Baichuan smiled, but his face then sank, “If that’s the case, then our earlier bet is valid!”
The young veterinarian’s face changed suddenly and he hesitated. “What… What bet? I don’t understand what you’re talking about?”
“Are you really that brave to renege on a promise in front of me?” Qin Baichuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“I, I…” The young veterinarian’s heart began beating wildly and his eyes rolled around. He then said, “Even if you’re from the Warrior’s Department, you’re not qualified to punish me. Did I commit any crime? You’re abusing your authority. Be careful, or else I’ll expose you!”
His words were filled with righteous indignation and ample confidence as if he was a victim.
“You insulted an Upper-Class Sentinel from the Warrior’s Department. Is that enough of a crime for you?” Ye Lingchen took out his credentials as well.
The veterinarian opened his mouth slightly and looked at Ye Lingchen in surprise. His face subsequently turned ashen as he acknowledged, “I admit my mistake. I’m willing to accept my loss in this bet. I promise not to be a veterinarian again.”
He made a living from that profession, but he did not dare to say more. He had spoken rudely to Ye Lingchen earlier, and if Ye Lingchen really followed up on it, it was highly likely that he would be imprisoned.
He could only blame himself for acting like a mad dog and biting everyone wantonly. There was no escape from the repercussions of the disaster that he brought upon himself!
