The Story of the Swordsman
Treatment Kiosk
Yun Lintian had breakfast at the inn before he headed to the biggest market in the Yang clan territory. On the streets there were thousands of people and there were many stalls scattered along the streets.
"Uncle, how can I set up a stall here? Do I need to ask permission?" Yun Lintian went to ask a middle-aged man nearby.
The owner of the stall looked at Yun Lintian in a daze when he saw Yun Lintian's clothes were clean and he looked like a young master from a rich family, he replied, "You can go to the operation hall there, you can go to the operation hall there, pay the fee and they'll give you a place."
"Thank you, uncle." Yun Lintian responded politely and gave the owner a gold coin stall, leaving the stall owner confused. When the stall owner regained his senses, Yun Lintian had already mingled with the crowd, disappearing from his sight.
Yun Lintian passed through the dense crowd and arrived at the operation hall. He went straight to the receptionist and quickly applied for the kiosk clearance token.
Yun Lintian did not know why everything seemed rather smooth to him. He often thought that he would meet some arrogant young master and have a conflict with them. Surprisingly, he had never met them until now.
The set location was located at the end of the market street, which could be considered a good place. Yun Lintian bought a small wooden table and two nice wooden chairs. He set up a simple stall and placed a large signboard, 'Treating every disease for free', in front of the table. After which, he sat quietly, closed his eyes, and waited for the target to eat his bait.
The people passing by had various reactions when they saw Yun Lintian's stall. Some of them did not believe in his skills because he was too young, and some of them even gave him contemptuous gazes. However, people who were hesitant could also be seen among the crowd.
One should know that the cost for general care is very high. Especially for an expert doctor, treating a simple cold might cost more than 10 gold coins. Ordinary citizens with low income would definitely not be able to afford such a high price. Therefore, when they saw Yun Lintian's stall, they thought of trying if he could really heal them. Anyway, it's free.
"Son, can you check my condition?" At this moment, a middle-aged woman in fiery red clothes approached Yun Lintian with a smile as she asked politely.
Yun Lintian opened his eyes to look at him and nodded his head with a smile: "Yes, I can. Please sit down."
The middle-aged woman sat on a chair and raised her hand for Yun Lintian to check her pulse.
Yun Lintian did not need to check on him, as he already knew of his illness. The woman had pale skin, sunken eyes as if she had not slept for a long time and a gloomy aura was coming out from her body. He was quite certain this woman was suffering from a disease called Yin Hallucinations.
"Do you often see something like a ghost every time you close your eyes?" Yun Lintian asked.
The woman's eyes twinkled and nodded her head quickly: "Yes. It started a month ago I always see scary ghosts in my dreams every time I close my eyes."
"I have visited many famous Taoist priests, but none of them could do anything about it. I happened to see this stall and came to give it a try. Please tell me, do you have any way to get rid of it?" The woman looked at Yun Lintian expectantly.
Yun Lintian was confused in his heart. He did not understand why those Taoist priests could not get rid of this simple disease. To his knowledge, the Yin Hallucinations might be a bit complicated, but it shouldn't be too difficult to take them out.
"You've been exposed to a disease called Yin Hallucinations. Have you ever visited a place where Yin energy gathered recently? For example, a tomb or a grave." Yun Lintian asked.
The woman thought for a moment before she replied, "I've never gone to such a place. However, my husband went to the ancestral tomb last month. Is it because of him? But he seems to be fine. Why just me?" She became angry and harbored hatred for her husband.
The woman immediately understood the cause and effect of this problem. The hatred for her husband gradually disappeared.
"I will help you remove the Yin aura in your body." After finishing his sentence, Yun Lintian took out six silver needles from his toolbox and quickly stuck them on the woman's body.
Six needles are formed into a symmetrical hexagon shape from the forehead to the abdomen. A trace of heat slowly seeped into the woman's body, causing her eyebrows to wrinkle. After which, the gloomy aura around him began to dissipate.
The woman was overjoyed when she saw the changes in her body. The lethargic feeling he had before slowly disappeared.
"Successful!" He shouted loudly. His voice immediately caught the attention of the spectators as they looked at Yun Lintian in astonishment. They never thought that this young Spirit physician could actually treat that woman's illness.
"Congratulations, you're free from disease now. When you return, put this talisman around your home for a day. There shouldn't be any more problems." Yun Lintian handed the talisman to the woman.
The woman accepted it with gratitude and bowed deeply to Yun Lintian: "Thank you for treating my illness. My name is Hong Xiaoyu. If you have any problem, you can visit my house anytime and please, accept this." He then gave Yun Lintian a thousand gold banknote.
He waved his hand and said, "Take your money back. I don't need it. You can use this money to buy clothes and food for orphans."
Hong Xiaoyu looked at Yun Lintian in awe: "You're too good. Rest assured, I will donate this money to the orphanage as you wish."
Yun Lintian said in his heart. It was not because he was too good, but rather he needed to build a reputation and he was not short of money right now.
Hong Xiaoyu continued to bow a few times before she left the stall in a good mood. Seeing this, the spectators immediately reacted. They hurriedly came to Yun Lintian's stall for free maintenance. A minute later, a long line of people appeared in front of his stall.
...
The Yang Clan was famous for the treasure trading business in the entire Heavenly Fortune Country, and the income from this business alone was able to send them to the top of the richest ranks easily. Even the Qi royal clan might not be able to compete with them in terms of wealth.
The wealth of the Yang clan, without a doubt, had aroused greed and jealousy from all directions. In the past, there were many accidents that occurred in the Yang Clan. Murder and robbery have been going on from time to time nonstop. However, with the great wealth that the Yang clan had accumulated, they had managed to nurture many talents within the clan and become one of the giants among the six major clans.
Yang Chen, the eldest son of the current patriarch, Yang Gouming, was branded as a generation of geniuses. His achievements in sword arts were extremely high. Moreover, there were rumors that said he had achieved sword intent even though he was only sixteen years old. It was certain that he would take over the leadership of the Yang clan in the future.
However, all of this had been the past now. 2 months ago, Yang Chen had received a challenge from Luo Kun, the young master of the Luo clan. Luo Kun's status in his clan was almost the same as Yang Chen in the Yang clan. He was proficient in spear arts and inherited his father's brilliant talent at a young age.
The battle between the two began because of a woman, Hua Wanru, from the Hua clan. Originally, she was Yang Chen's fiancee, and they were childhood lovers. Then, Luo Kun was infatuated with her to the point that she asked her family to help her break the marriage contract between Hua Wanru and Yang Chen. But Yang Chen could not let them do that. Therefore, the conflict between them was inevitable.
On the set date, Yang Chen and Luo Kun had a fierce battle with the marriage contract as the bet. The battle ended with Luo Kun as the victor, and Yang Chen's Blood Vessels were destroyed. A genius became disabled overnight, causing an incredible commotion to spread throughout the capital. Since then, Yang Chen became the object of ridicule, and he never appeared in public again.
