Chapter 1447: Chapter 1447: Your Skills Are Too Lacking

Wang Pingzhi and her two disciples were forcibly expelled from the room by Wang Manzi.

Before leaving, Lin Tian noticed that Wang Pingzhi’s gaze was filled with hostility, and she also didn’t believe he could bring Wang Shi back to life.

After the door closed, only Lin Tian, Wang Manzi, and the unconscious Wang Shi remained inside.

Wang Manzi cupped his hands towards Lin Tian and said, "I’m truly sorry, I hadn’t anticipated this situation. Please, Mr. Lin, quell your anger."

Lin Tian chuckled and said, "Why would I be angry? I’m not angry at all; I actually think the cohesion of your Ancient Martial the Wang Family is indeed strong."

Wang Manzi smiled slightly, "Let’s begin."

Lin Tian nodded lightly, not rushing to examine Wang Shi, but instead picked up the medicine bowl by the bedside, sniffed the medicine residue, and even tasted it with his finger.

Just as he had imagined, the medicine used was mild in nature and dosage was not heavy, following the methods consistent with the properties of herbs, although the treatment was prolonged, the effectiveness was good.

Putting down the medicine bowl, Lin Tian then began to carefully observe Wang Shi’s complexion. His face was waxy yellow, accompanied by spots, and his breathing was very faint, as if he was on the verge of death.

Gently opening his mouth, with a flashlight illuminating, the tongue coating was thick, yellow, and cracked.

Finally, Lin Tian felt Wang Shi’s pulse, very faint; you really wouldn’t feel it without applying some force.

The situation was much more serious than Lin Tian had imagined, far more serious!

"How is it?" Wang Manzi asked, trying to glean something from Lin Tian’s expression, but the young man’s face remained impassive, revealing nothing.

"It’s hard to say."

"Speak directly."

"Alright." Lin Tian organized his words and said, "His breath is like hanging by a thread; he’s almost a goner."

Wang Manzi, being hot-tempered, immediately erupted upon hearing this, the veins on his forehead bulging. He said in a low voice, "Is he really beyond saving?"

"That’s not what I mean, what I mean is that his body is too weak. Traditionally, gentle therapies have always been used, which is like slowly boiling a frog, it will only make his body worse and show no signs of improvement. Do you understand what I’m saying?"

Wang Manzi maintained his low tone, "Do you have a way?"

After a few seconds of silence, Lin Tian nodded, "I do! But it requires aggressive medication, and there’s only one chance, with a success rate of only twenty percent."

"Twenty percent?" Wang Manzi fell silent too, "Tell me, exactly how intense is the medication."

"Hanxing Grass and Moon Eclipse Fruit, together with my acupuncture." Lin Tian said, looking directly at Wang Manzi, indicating his sincerity.

"What?!"

Wang Manzi exclaimed loudly. Hanxing Grass is cold in nature, Moon Eclipse Fruit is hot in nature. These are extreme medications and if combined, it would be like oil and water, fighting fiercely. If swallowed, even a healthy person would suffer pain for half a month and become significantly weakened.

"No way!" Wang Manzi immediately said, "That’s too risky, where is this aggressive medication, this is clearly poison!"

Lin Tian said helplessly, "This is the best solution I can offer. As Wang Pingzhi said before, the Patriarch cannot sustain his current condition much longer, we can only go all-in."

"Let me think." Wang Manzi still found it difficult to accept.

Wang Shi was Wang Manzi’s junior, it was already heart-wrenching to see him in such a state, to let Lin Tian take an all-in approach was simply stabbing his heart!

This sort of situation not only troubles Wang Manzi’s head, it is also often seen outside emergency rooms in hospitals. When someone’s relative is put on the operating table, the surgical risks are extremely high, they can only take the risk to sign a ’Surgical Risk Agreement’.

Lin Tian didn’t speak anymore, he knew that this decision for Wang Manzi was a dilemma, and he wasn’t short on time.

Finally, Wang Manzi nodded and said, "Alright! We’ll follow your lead! I believe even Wang Shi would choose this; a man should brave any mountain of knives, any sea of fire, isn’t it just aggressive medication?! I’ll have someone prepare it!"

As Wang Manzi turned to leave, the door suddenly burst open with a ’bang,’ as if someone had kicked it fiercely.

It was not anyone else but Wang Pingzhi who pushed open the door, her face full of anger, looking at Wang Manzi she said, "Old ancestor! You can’t listen to him! Think carefully, the Patriarch became like this because of him, can you really trust him to heal? And listen to the medicine he prescribed, Hanxing Grass and Moon Eclipse Fruit, this is clearly trying to poison the Patriarch! Never mind the Patriarch’s body, even a healthy person couldn’t bear it!"

Wang Manzi’s face turned slightly grim and he frowned, saying, "Didn’t I tell you to leave? Who let you eavesdrop outside the door? Since you’ve heard everything, go prepare the two herbs."

"Old ancestor, I won’t go! Lin Tian can’t be trusted!"

Wang Manzi stamped his left foot hard on the ground, making a loud sound, even Lin Tian could feel the pavilion tremble a bit just now. Wang Manzi was truly furious!

"If he can’t be trusted who can be trusted? Find me someone who can bring Wang Shi back to life, if he could provide a second option, would I take such a risk?" Wang Manzi questioned.

"But..."

"Hmph!" Wang Manzi continued, "There’s no ’but,’ if we don’t go all-in, Wang Shi won’t survive much longer. How spirited was he once? Lying on the sick bed for half a year has tortured him beyond recognition. If he could choose, I believe he would be willing to go all-in too!"

"Old ancestor, this method will do. Let Lin Tian tell me the specific treatment plan, I’ll do it!" Wang Pingzhi said, her gaze firm as she looked at Wang Manzi. Ultimately, she was unwilling to trust Lin Tian.

At this moment, Lin Tian, who had been silent, interjected, "Even if I tell you, you wouldn’t be able to. You don’t trust me, and I don’t trust you, your skill level is too low."

This wasn’t said in spite, just stating the truth. But to Wang Pingzhi’s ears, these words were exceedingly pricking, she defiantly said, "Why say my skill level is low? You’re twenty years old, what qualifications do you have to question me?"

Lin Tian laughed, "Skill and age are related but not proportionally. Otherwise, your old ancestor wouldn’t have invited me here. Skill isn’t something that can be improved by talking about it, let me ask you, have you cultivated the Golden Core? If you haven’t, don’t talk about twenty percent, you have no chance at all!"

"..." Wang Pingzhi wanted to say something, but her mouth felt like it was clogged by a rag, these words rendered her unable to retort. As a cultivator, she also knew her own prowess and medical skills were directly related.
