Overbearing Immortal Doctor Chapter 4 - 4 4 Massage Techniques

It's a common practice for loans with high interest rates to be handed over to debt collection agencies. Thus, the family's debt has now been sold to Wang Erma. Just moments ago, three women arrived, acting as intermediaries for Wang Erma's son, undoubtedly employing a strategy of intimidation and temptation. Wu Xiaoyu, angered, exclaimed, "That repulsive toad from Wang Erma's family actually desires my sister? He must be dreaming! He ought to take a good look at himself in the mirror!"

The three thugs, feeling compelled to defend their associate, menacingly shouted at Wu Xiaoyu, "You little punk, don't you get too cocky!" With that, one of them hurled a fist towards Wu Xiaoyu's face. However, the instant the punch was thrown, it was intercepted by a large hand, followed by a sharp, sickening crack of bone. The thug quickly wrenched his hand free, clutching his injured wrist and staring at Wu Youliang with a mixture of pain and disbelief. He never would have imagined that this man, who had been coughing for years, could still react with such speed and power. "What? Hmph... You really think I'm already dead?" Wu Youliang retorted, his words punctuated by a cough. As a butcher who had dispatched countless pigs, his skills were naturally far superior to these amateurs. Wu Xiaoyu watched in astonishment as his father intervened. He had never conceived that his seemingly frail father still possessed such formidable capabilities. The three thugs were even more dumbfounded. Although they had been involved in numerous confrontations instigated by Wang Erma, they had never encountered anyone as swift, precise, and brutal as Wu Youliang. This encounter reminded one of the thugs of old whispers that Wu Youliang could dispatch a two-hundred-pound pig with a single hand pressed upon its head. "Paying debts is only proper, but... but don't bully us!" the bald thug declared to the still-coughing Wu Youliang. Even as he spoke, he felt a sense of shame. They were three able-bodied men, yet they found themselves intimidated by a sickly individual. Nevertheless, he lacked the confidence to overcome the father and son duo before him. "You will receive your payment; now, leave!" Wu Youliang commanded. The three men visibly relaxed and hastily departed from the small courtyard. Just outside Wu Xiaoyu's residence, the three women hurried over, inquiring, "How did it go? You're back so quickly? Did they agree?" "Agree, my foot! Just wait until the Prince arrives with his enforcers and tears down their house. Then they'll agree!" the bald thug cursed, leading his group away. Wang Aifeng assisted Wu Youliang to a seat and instructed Wu Xiaoyu, "Go and confirm if the medicine is prepared!" As Wu Xiaoyu entered the kitchen, he overheard his mother lamenting, "What are we going to do now?" "What else can we do? We'll just stall for time!" His mother fretted, "Those people won't cease their harassment. You're not as young as you once were; if a fight breaks out, you'll be at a disadvantage." "To hell with fear!" Wu Youliang declared dismissively. Wu Xiaoyu presented the medicine and said to his mother, "If it comes to it, call the police. Wang Erma can't possibly operate outside the law, can he?" After consuming the medicinal brew, Wu Youliang's coughing began to subside. The toad herb contained within the Jade Token proved significantly more potent than those found in the mountains. He had now acquired a substantial grasp of traditional Chinese medicine, far surpassing those heirs from esteemed medical families. Treating his father's ailment should not be an insurmountable challenge. However, convincing his father that he possessed the ability to heal illnesses would not be simple. If he revealed anything about the Jade Token, his parents might assume he had lost his mind. He would need to devise an alternative approach. "Dad, I was browsing online a few days ago and read that massaging specific acupoints on the back can alleviate coughing. How about I give it a try?" Wu Xiaoyu proposed after a moment of thought. "Certainly! Go ahead and give me a massage!" Wu Youliang responded with a chuckle. In his entire life, he had never felt such profound pride. The most gratifying aspect of his existence was raising such dutiful and devoted children. If his son wished to offer him a massage, why would he ever refuse? They proceeded to the bedroom. Wu Youliang lay down on the bed while Wu Xiaoyu began to massage certain acupoints vital for lung health, subsequently placing his hand on his father's lungs to discern the nature of the illness. Wu Youliang immediately felt a comforting warmth spreading through his internal organs, particularly his lungs, which felt remarkably light and at ease. Wu Xiaoyu perceived the damage within his father's lungs. His left lung had suffered a slight collapse, likely a residual effect of a past injury, and his father's persistent coughing stemmed from impaired blood circulation in this compromised area. To completely resolve his father's cough, the collapsed portion needed to be healed. Based on his acquired knowledge of Chinese medicine, numerous methods existed to address such an injury. Yet, the most expedient solution remarkably presented itself as the very massage technique he had just suggested.

This was a very intricate cultivation technique requiring the release of Inner Qi to strike several major acupoints on the back.

Had he practiced the Yin Yang Longevity Technique from the Xuanyuan Treasure Book, releasing Inner Qi would be easy.

However, without cultivation, how could he possibly talk about releasing Inner Qi?

He exerted all his strength to massage the major acupoints on his father’s back.

Even so, Wu Youliang felt his lungs gradually lighten up.

Without the ability to release Inner Qi, massage was merely a temporary fix.

He needed to swiftly cultivate the techniques from the Xuanyuan Treasure Book!

“Wife, you have to admit, Dadan’s massage feels quite comfortable!

Perhaps it can truly cure me!” Wu Youliang exclaimed cheerfully.

But Wang Aifeng remained worried, dwelling on the earlier incident.

Wang Erma was a notorious local villain, owning both a paper mill and a cement factory, commanding hundreds of people under his control.

Being so rich and powerful, how could the family possibly lead a good life after offending him?

“How about we let little Wen marry…” Wang Aifeng mumbled, but before she could finish her sentence, Wu Youliang jumped up and shouted, “Don’t even consider it, you short-sighted woman!”

“Little Wen must attend university.

Even if she doesn’t get accepted, she absolutely cannot marry that bastard!

As long as I am alive, forget about it!”

Wu Xiaoyu voiced his anger as well, “Little Wen has such excellent grades; she will definitely get into a good university.

She cannot be married off to that scumbag!”

Their mother lowered her head, feeling guilty and ashamed, “I was merely speaking my mind…

I didn’t truly intend for little Wen to marry him!”

Wu Xiaoyu was displeased by his mother’s words.

Even though the family was poor, they were not so desperate as to sell their daughter.

As her elder brother, he would never permit his sister to fall into a pit of fire.

“Mom!

Do not worry!

I will definitely pay off their outstanding debt.

But as for marrying my sister, that is out of the question!” he declared, before slamming the door and departing.

He needed to become more potent!

To possess wealth!

To gain influence!

He refused to be prey for others.

He would ascend and achieve greatness!
