Chapter 136 - Zhao Jianlong!

Zhou Yu held the silver needle and swiftly inserted it.

In an instant, Zhao Jianlong’s body was filled with silver needles.

Then, Zhou Yu placed his palm on Zhao Jianlong’s forehead, and his True Qi slowly flowed into Zhao Jianlong’s body.

As Zhou Yu injected his True Qi, Zhao Jianlong’s body began to emit streams of gas.

These gases appeared blackish-gray, clearly indicating they were toxic.

Zhou Yu turned to Zhao Jian and Zhao Fei’er and said,

“Both of you, step back, don’t breathe in these gases.”

Zhao Jian and Zhao Fei’er quickly retreated to the door, while Zhao Jian had a servant fetch masks to wear.

By now, Zhou Yu was fully absorbed in the treatment.

The poison within Zhao Jianlong’s body was hidden throughout his meridians; by using the silver needles, Zhou Yu was able to channel True Qi into these meridians, forcing the poison out.

This might sound simple, but controlling True Qi required extremely high precision.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu had spent two days focusing on mastering the control of his True Qi.

Even so, beads of sweat slid down Zhou Yu’s forehead, one after another.

Zhao Fei’er, standing by the side, felt anxious.

She wanted to step forward to help Zhou Yu wipe the sweat but feared disturbing his treatment.

She could only wait anxiously by the side.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yu, while clearing the poison, grew increasingly puzzled.

Who exactly would go to such lengths to harm Zhao Jianlong, even using such a cruel method to torture him?

Time flew swiftly by.

In the blink of an eye, three hours had passed.

Zhou Yu finally completed the treatment; with a slap on Zhao Jianlong’s body, dozens of silver needles flew off him.

Zhou Yu reached out and caught all the silver needles.

“It’s done.”

Zhou Yu took a deep breath, wiping the sweat from his forehead at the same time.

Zhao Jian and Zhao Fei’er hurried over.

“Divine Doctor Zhou, how is my father now?”

Zhou Yu smiled and said, “He’s out of danger now and should wake up very soon.”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Jianlong slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing this, both Zhao Jian and Zhao Fei’er were visibly excited.

“Father!”

“Grandfather!”

Zhao Jianlong moved his lips, seemingly exerting great effort, and said,

“I…

what happened to me?”

“Father, you passed out.

Don’t you remember?” Zhao Jian quickly explained.

Then, it seemed to dawn on Zhao Jianlong that he indeed felt an intense pain throughout his body before losing consciousness.

“Who…

saved me?” Zhao Jianlong asked.

Zhao Jian hurriedly pointed towards Zhou Yu.

“Father, it was him.”

“His name is Zhou Yu, a friend of Fei’er.”

“Zhou Yu?” Zhao Jianlong paused, turning to look at Zhou Yu.

“Are you the same Zhou Yu who saved my brother Jianfeng?”

Zhou Yu was taken aback, not expecting Zhao Jianlong to actually know about him.

He nodded.

“It’s me.”

Zhao Jianlong immediately attempted to sit up.

“Mr.

Zhao, your body has just recovered, it’s better to lay down,” Zhou Yu interjected.

Zhao Jianlong expressed his gratitude, “Zhou Yu, thank you.

Not only did you save my brother but also me.

You are a great benefactor to our Zhao family.”

Zhou Yu gave a wry smile,

“Mr.

Zhao, you’re too kind.

I am friends with the elder Mr.

Zhao Jianfeng, and besides, he has also helped me quite a bit.”

Zhao Jianlong nodded and said with a smile,

“Alright then, I won’t stand on ceremony.

From now on, if there’s anything that my Zhao family can do for you, just let me know, and we will spare no effort.”

“Zhao Jian, did you hear that?

From now on, Zhou Yu is an honored guest of the Zhao family, meet any request he might have to the best of your ability.”

Zhao Jian quickly replied,

“Father, I understand!”

“Zhou Yu, from now on, whatever you need from our Zhao family, just say the word.”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly.

“Alright.”

“By the way, Zhou Yu, you mentioned I was poisoned, what exactly happened?” Zhao Jianlong inquired.

“Mr.

Zhao, the poison within you was a very rare type of poisonous True Qi.”

“Poisonous True Qi?” Zhao Jianlong looked confused.

Zhou Yu explained,

“Yes.

Someone infused this poisonous True Qi into your body unnoticeably, meant not to kill you immediately but to make you suffer.”

“Mr.

Zhao, have you offended anyone lately?”

Zhao Jianlong chuckled bitterly,

“In a major family like ours, there are too many enemies to count, hundreds, maybe thousands; I really have no idea who would do such a thing.”

Zhou Yu thought for a moment.

“How about this, I will leave a mark of True Qi inside of you.

If someone tries to poison you again, this mark will react, and then you will know who is behind it.”

Zhao Jianlong eagerly responded,

“That would be great; thank you for your trouble.”

Zhou Yu shook his head and shared a small smile,

“It’s no big deal.”

After saying this, he placed his hand on Zhao Jianlong’s belly and left a mark of True Qi at his Dantian.

Once all was done, Zhou Yu declared,

“It’s done.”

“Now, Mr.

Zhao, just rest quietly for a while, and you will recover completely.”

“Please arrange a place for me.

I need some rest.”

Zhao Jian immediately complied, quickly arranging accommodations for Zhou Yu.

They set up a secluded courtyard for Zhou Yu.

In the courtyard, Zhou Yu sat cross-legged, with six types of Spiritual Medicine placed in front of him.

These six types of Spiritual Medicine were top-grade ones that he had obtained from Lin Zhaoxuan.

The medicines were used for cultivating spiritual power.

Having treated Zhao Jianlong had greatly depleted his spiritual power, now was an ideal time to cultivate it.
