When the elder doctor extracted the Sword Qi from Wei Shanhai's ridians,
Lu Qing and Wei Xinghe also witnessed a peculiar scene.
They saw at the elder doctor's fingertips a cluster of white Sword Qi, fine like cow hair, trapped within an invisible barrier, thrashing around without the ability to escape.
Shortly after, it was quickly dissipated by the elder doctor using his True Qi and vanished into thin air.
"All is well now," the elder doctor said after erasing the Sword Qi. "Mr. Wei, the Sword Qi in your heart ridian has been completely purged."
"That's it?"
Wei Shanhai was stunned.
He had braced himself for the pain the elder doctor ntioned would co with the treatnt.
Just like this?
Wei Shanhai swiftly circulated his True Qi and found that it flowed unobstructed everywhere it went. His heart ridian, in particular, felt extrely smooth and free of any foreign True Qi, which made him very happy.
"The elder doctor's dical expertise is truly remarkable. I am most impressed!" Wei Shanhai exclaid with both surprise and joy, having thought that his sword injury, which had been torturing him for so long and seed to be sapping all his energy, was so easily healed.
"The Innate Realm swordsman who injured you is indeed highly skilled in swordsmanship. His Sword Qi is insidiously soft and difficult to deal with, capable of drawing on your body's life force to sustain and strengthen itself, rging with the qi of your heart ridian. But in the end, it is still an unrooted source. By simply utilizing the technique of sealing acupoints with silver needles to temporarily cut off the qi flow in your heart ridian and reveal its true form, removal becos no great difficulty," the elder doctor explained.
Wei Shanhai thought of Wang Cangyi's swordsmanship and nodded in agreent.
Although he deeply despised this forr friend, he had to admit that the man's mastery of swordsmanship had reached a state where it was like a soft breeze turning into nourishing rain, the Sword Qi as soft as it wound around fingers.
"Then, elder doctor, does that an the old ancestor's injuries are fully healed now?" asked Wei Xinghe.
"The Sword Qi is gone, and the heart ridian is unobstructed. As for the other external injuries, they are straightforward to deal with. Next, we'll apply antiseptic dicine, I'll prescribe a few dicines, and with tily consumption and rest, it won't be long before Mr. Wei is completely recovered," the elder doctor said, stroking his beard.
"This is wonderful news, thank you, elder doctor!" Wei Xinghe said joyfully.
"Healing the sick is our duty as doctors. There's no need for the Wei Family Master to be so formal."
After chatting for a while, they all left the quiet room together.
Outside, Housekeeper Wei was already waiting.
Seeing the group erge with the old ancestor looking significantly better, he knew the healing must have gone smoothly.
With happiness in his heart, he promptly approached them and respectfully said, "Family Head, old ancestor, the banquet is ready."
"Hmm." Wei Shanhai nodded, then turned and said, "Elder doctor, you all have traveled a long distance and must be tired. We have prepared so food and drink in the mansion to welco and refresh you. I hope you will not decline our hospitality."
"That would be pleasant," the elder doctor nodded in assent.
As they approached the banquet area of Wei Mansion, they saw Mrs. Wei and Little Yan also arriving just in ti.
"Brother, Grandpa Chen!" Little Yan, holding Little Li, excitedly called out upon seeing Lu Qing and the elder doctor.
"Hmm, have you been causing any trouble for Mrs. Wei?" Lu Qing ruffled her hair a bit.
"Not at all, not at all," Mrs. Wei quickly responded. "Little Yan has been very well-behaved. I just took her for so snacks."
"Yes, Brother! Little Yan just had so really delicious treats, and Little Li ate lots of fish too!" the little one boasted.
"I can see that," Lu Qing said, looking at Little Li, who, with a belly fed to roundness, was nestled in Little Yan's arms, squinting and reluctant to move. He shook his head sowhat helplessly.

However, the little kid had barely eaten anything these last two days to maintain his hidden identity. It had indeed been a sacrifice, so letting him eat a bit more was no issue.
Upon entering the room, everyone took their seats, and the servants began to serve the dishes.
Little Yan witnessed what was called the lavish lifestyle of a prestigious family.
Despite there being only seven or eight people at the banquet, there were dozens of dishes served, each with a unique style. Many ingredients were unfamiliar to him.
"Doctor Chen, Young Master Lu, Teacher Ma, this ti, thanks to your righteous assistance, our Wei Family was spared from annihilation. The heaven and earth can attest to this kindness. This cup is my tribute to you all," said Wei Shanhai, raising his glass after the dishes and drinks were ready.
After the toast, everyone began to eat.
Lu Qing was fond of food and beca excited seeing many dishes on the table he hadn't encountered before. After serving so to Little Yan, he began to taste each dish one by one.
After trying a few, he marveled that it was worthy of a wealthy household. Each dish was delicious, and he was quite satisfied.
As Lu Qing was enjoying his food, he suddenly heard Wei Zian mumbling beside him.
"Mother, why do I feel that the food at ho isn't as delicious as what Young Master Lu prepared?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Be careful, or your father will scold you!" Mrs. Wei warned him quietly. Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire
Even she felt that the als at ho didn't taste as good as what Lu Qing had made the previous day.
Wei Zian thought he had spoken softly, but he hadn't considered that those at the table were no ordinary people and had already heard his muttering.
"Oh, Young Master Lu can cook too? And from the looks of it, it must be quite delicious, as Zi'an and Ning Yan can't seem to forget it," Wei Shanhai teased.
This caused Mrs. Wei to blush uncontrollably.
"It's nothing. I just used to run the household, so I know how to cook so ho-style dishes. It's not sophisticated enough for a grand feast. They've never had my cooking, so naturally, it seed novel," Lu Qing said with a smile.
The group chatted and ate in a harmonious atmosphere.
Even Ma Gu wasn't ignored. Wei Xinghe toasted to him several tis and solemnly promised to prepare a grand ceremony for Wei Zian to formally take him as a teacher soon, which took Ma Gu by surprise.
After three rounds of drinks, when everyone had almost finished eating,
Wei Shanhai said, "Doctor Chen, as you know, Wang Cangyi ca with his disciples and aggressively attacked our Wei Mansion. You must be aware of his reasons, right?"
The elder doctor was startled and didn't understand why Wei Shanhai would suddenly bring this up.
Still, he honestly replied, "I've heard so rumors that he ca for a treasure."
That wasn't a secret.
Wang Cangyi's lead disciple had made his intentions towards the Wei Family quite clear that day, and everyone in the city had heard him.
"Indeed, he ca for our Wei Family's treasure. I won't lie; when I was younger, I misjudged people and once called Wang Cangyi my brother, roaming the martial world with him for a while. That treasure was sothing we obtained from a remarkable place during our adventures."
"Later, we had a dispute, divided the treasure, and each went our separate ways, breaking our brotherhood."
Doctor Chen was unaware of such a history and could only say, "That's quite regrettable."
"There's nothing to regret," Wei Shanhai replied with equanimity. "With such a despicable and shaless person, I only regret not seeing his true colors earlier and cutting ties sooner. Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought this disaster upon my family and nearly destroyed our entire lineage."
Doctor Chen remained silent, not joining the conversation.
He was unclear about the specific history of the matter and couldn't make any judgnts.
"Heh, Doctor Chen, I'm not telling you this to judge right from wrong,"
Wei Shanhai perceived the thoughts of the elder doctor and chuckled.
"I simply wish to invite you to observe the treasure after the banquet."
Hearing this, Doctor Chen was suddenly taken aback.
