Chen Yang successfully concocted the Greater Restoration Elixir. Crown Prince Jing Kang, overjoyed, knelt to thank his ancestors, and expressed his deep gratitude to Chen Yang. However, Qin Qingfeng reminded them that the elixir was only the first step, and they still needed the Python King's cooperation for the Emperor's treatment. The Python King agreed to the treatment, but insisted it begin the next morning, despite the Emperor's dire condition, and that officials be present.

If the treatment fails, they must be prepared for a desperate showdown with the Python King, naturally bringing everyone along.

More than two hundred people, grandly proceeded to Taihe Hall.

At this time, the sun had just risen at dawn.

The atmosphere of the entire Imperial Palace, appeared somewhat eerie.

Because as soon as Chen Yang and the others entered the square of Taihe Hall, they clearly felt that danger lurked all around.

Evidently, the Python King was also ready to completely resolve their presence.

At this moment, the direction of the plot rested entirely on Chen Yang’s shoulders.

If Chen Yang could heal the Emperor, even if it meant awakening him for one or two months, they might turn the tables.

But if he couldn’t heal the Emperor, they would definitely be dealt with by the Python King...

"Brother Chen Yang, it’s all up to you," Jing Kang whispered nervously.

"Don’t worry, I have a plan," Chen Yang was not overly nervous because he had confidence in his medical skills.

As long as there was no outside interference, he believed he could definitely heal the Old Emperor.

They walked across the square of Taihe Hall.

Qin Shan and the others naturally couldn’t enter the hall together, so they stayed outside the hall.

Only Chen Yang, Tu Qi, Jing Kang, and Qin Qingfeng entered Taihe Hall.

Upon entering the hall, the situation was the same as last time.

The civil and military officials stood uniformly below the hall, the Python King stood beside the dragon throne, while the Old Emperor lay on the dragon throne with extremely unstable breath.

However, there was one difference.

Next to the Python King stood a young man.

Chen Yang glanced over and immediately recognized him.

Wasn’t this the arrogant and domineering heir they encountered when they first entered the territory of the Great Jing Dynasty?

At that time, there was speculation that he was likely the Heir of Python King, and indeed he was.

At this moment, he stood beside the Python King.

When Chen Yang noticed Jing Chuan, the latter naturally noticed Chen Yang as well.

From his slightly twitching face, he should have recognized Chen Yang too.

But it wasn’t convenient to speak much in this setting, he just stared at Chen Yang with rage in his eyes, a subtle hint of murderous intent floating within.

Chen Yang cast a slight glance at him, then didn’t give him much attention, his gaze instinctively turning to the Old Emperor on the dragon throne.

The Old Emperor’s breath at this moment was extremely unstable, nearing the brink of collapse.

In the past few days of deterioration, his condition had worsened.

If not controlled, in at most two days, the Old Emperor would die from broken meridians.

Fortunately, they made it in time, and there was still a chance to treat him.

"Imperial Uncle, this master has already devised a method to treat Father Emperor’s illness, please come down from there, do not delay the master’s treatment."

After entering the hall, Jing Kang did not go up the steps, but instead asked the Python King to come down.

The Python King, with his profound power, could easily interfere with Chen Yang’s treatment if he stood by the dragon throne.

"Crown Prince, this might be inappropriate, this man is of unknown origin, allowing him to treat Imperial Brother already involves immense risk, and if I am not supervising, I truly cannot feel at ease," the Python King said.

"The Python King’s words make sense, Crown Prince, His Majesty’s condition is already extremely dangerous, and we absolutely cannot entrust His Majesty’s safety entirely to a stranger," the Prime Minister immediately stood out in agreement as soon as the Python King finished speaking.

Jing Kang frowned and said, "This master is someone I invited, do you not trust him, or do you not trust me?"

"Old minister doesn’t mean that," the Prime Minister immediately replied.

"Then what do you mean?" Jing Kang sharply questioned the Prime Minister.

"Hehe, Crown Prince, you’re being too sensitive. The Prime Minister is considering His Majesty’s welfare, there’s no need for such a strong reaction? The health of the Emperor concerns the entire Great Jing, we must be cautious, if something happens to His Majesty, none of us can bear the responsibility," the Python King quickly spoke up to back the Prime Minister.

The two cooperated in unison to confront Jing Kang.

Two cunning old foxes team up, naturally Jing Kang was not their match, but he was not in the mood to waste words, so he directly said, "Worried about issues? Then I, as the Crown Prince, will take full responsibility, if something happens to His Majesty, I will be accountable."

"Will that suffice for you to step down now?"

The Python King was taken aback, clearly not expecting Jing Kang to say that directly.

However, this was exactly what he wanted.

He originally planned to implicate Jing Kang in the Emperor’s death anyway.

Since Jing Kang had already said so himself, he was more than willing.

"Hehe, given Crown Prince’s resolve, I shall step down then," the Python King chuckled and stepped down.

Jing Kang gave the Python King a cold look, then turned and gave Chen Yang an eye signal.

This signal contained so much meaning.

It was as if the fate of the entire Great Jing Dynasty was entrusted to Chen Yang.

And Chen Yang, full of confidence, returned a reassuring glance to Jing Kang, and then strode up the steps.

Under all gazes, he approached the Old Emperor’s dragon throne.

The Old Emperor’s face by now was almost black.

This was caused by chaotic Spiritual Energy within, interrupting blood circulation.

Turning black indicated that the situation inside the Old Emperor was very severe, and couldn’t be delayed for a moment longer.

Once he got up to the throne, Chen Yang first exerted his power, forcibly approaching the Old Emperor, and took his pulse again.

To understand the internal situation.

After confirming, Chen Yang quickly devised a treatment plan.

First use silver needles to seal certain acupoints, temporarily stabilizing the situation within the Old Emperor, before using the Greater Restoration Elixir for treatment.

If everything goes smoothly, he might reverse the Old Emperor’s condition.

With the treatment plan set, Chen Yang wasted no time, directly taking out the silver needles to begin practicing medicine.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The silver needles in Chen Yang’s hands were like hidden weapons, swift and precise.

In a flash, four or five silver needles were sent out, piercing precisely into the acupoints on the Old Emperor’s body.

After several rounds, many important acupoints on the Old Emperor’s body were covered with silver needles.

Once the silver needles were arranged, the chaotic breath within the Old Emperor immediately showed some relief.

In the hall, the civil and military officials were all intently watching the stage.

Some medical officers familiar with acupuncture techniques showed faces of surprise upon seeing Chen Yang’s needle techniques...

"These acupuncture techniques are extraordinarily exquisite... needle insertion is bold and accurate, force is standard... remarkable," The medical officer couldn’t help but exclaim.

"His Majesty’s... His Majesty’s condition seems to have stabilized."

"I feel it too, the chaotic energy is not as severe as before."

"This young man, could he truly be skilled in medicine? An extraordinary person?"

...

Those who didn’t understand medicine sensed that the aura emanating from the Old Emperor had eased, and immediately showed their amazement.

The Python King naturally noticed this change too, and his face turned somber.

He originally thought Chen Yang, being so young, was merely a random charlatan, but didn’t anticipate he had some real skills.

Could it be that he truly had the ability to heal the Emperor?

The Python King’s brows furrowed, a sense of foreboding arising in his heart.

Meanwhile, people like Jing Kang and Qin Qingfeng, naturally, their eyes brightened with surprise and delight.
