A farmer, dressed in shabby clothes with calloused hands, knelt on the ground, pleading continuously."Please, I beg you all. I've always known that you're all incredibly skilled doctors! I've seen so many rich people driving luxury cars come to the mountains to see you for treatment! You must have a way, you can definitely cure my daughter! Please, I'm begging you... Please..."His voice echoed with despair across the open square.Beside him lay a little girl in a white dress. She was small and thin, her face pale, with a faint trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. Her large, vacant eyes stared blankly at the sky, as if completely unaware of the fate she was about to face.The crowd of medical practitioners surrounding them looked on with sympathy, seemingly wanting to say something. However, because of the two figures standing nearby, none of them dared to speak up.Scott stood expressionless at the side, his gloomy face full of indifference as he snapped, "I've told you ma
"If my daughter really can't be saved, then so be it! Please, sir, could you at least take a look at her? Can you check her condition?"The farmer had no other choice but to kneel and bang his head against the ground, pleading desperately with Scott. Soon, blood began to trickle from his forehead.However, Scott showed no compassion. Instead, his face flashed with irritation."I told you earlier that we can't do anything. What are you trying to accomplish by doing this?" Scott scolded the farmer angrily without even approaching the girl."Please, sir, I beg you…"However, the farmer, due to the repeated head banging, seemed to be losing his senses. He continued his actions, mumbling the same plea over and over.Raaina finally showed some pity and stepped forward to say something."Enough! If they won't help, then I will!"However, a voice suppressed with anger suddenly echoed from the side. Liam stepped forward and approached the farmer, stopping him from continuing his self-ha
However, upon hearing Raaina's words, Scott smirked."What do you mean by that? You don't seriously think this inexperienced kid has any skills to cure that little girl, do you?"I'm telling you, it's impossible! You're well aware of the little girl's condition. Her illness is complex, and she's already been given a death sentence!"Scott raised his head, his eyes filled with mockery. "Since this arrogant boy wants to invite trouble upon himself, I want to see how he plans to deal with the aftermath when he fails!"Scott crossed his arms, looking at Liam with a mocking expression, clearly ready to enjoy the show.He was not the only one.Otto stood coldly by, clearly intending to settle the score with Liam after his treatment attempt.The leader and elders of the Medical Guild all displayed the same attitude, and the other members naturally did not dare to say much. They stood behind, anxiously watching Liam at the forefront."Grandmaster Burrey…"Qassim showed a trace of nerv
Liam sighed heavily. It seemed that Naomi's condition was far from ordinary."Was her pulse that erratic at the time?"A cold sneer crossed Scott's face, standing in the back. "Heh. How overconfident!" From Scott's observation, Liam might have some understanding of traditional Hestian medicine, but that was about it. To Scott, Liam's pulse-taking technique was extremely clumsy. It lacked any of the mystical qualities that Qassim mentioned. With only that level of knowledge about traditional Hestian medicine, it was unlikely Liam could save the young girl. In fact, his rash actions might worsen her condition even more!Did that 'Grandmaster Burrey' really think he could find a way to treat Naomi by merely understanding her situation? What a fantasy!"Alas…"Raaina, standing nearby, could not help but sigh as she watched the scene unfold. With her medical skills, she could clearly see Liam's hesitation and clumsy pulse-checking techniques. However, Raaina had spoken up earli
Whoosh!A sudden gust of wind swept through the mountains, rustling the trees with a fierce roar. The force was so strong that the members of the Medical Guild could not keep their eyes open.However, Liam, standing at the eye of the storm, remained unshaken. Astonishingly, the hundreds of golden needles suspended in mid-air did not sway at all. The sight was enough to leave everyone in awe."What…"Raaina froze in her tracks. She stared blankly at the scene before her, disbelief written all over her face. Just moments ago, she had doubted Liam's abilities, but he displayed something beyond her imagination."How… How is this possible?"Scott and Otto were even more astounded. Their expressions were priceless, their faces metaphorically slapped by the sight of over a hundred needles floating above, a testament to their shock and disbelief.Leaving aside whether he could save Naomi, just witnessing that scene spoke volumes. The petty tricks Otto showed earlier were nothing compare
The light in her eyes had completely vanished!"She's already dead. What's the point of trying to save her?"Otto watched the scene unfold before him, his face once again showing a mocking expression.However, before he could say anything more, Liam's voice suddenly rang out just as Naomi lost her breath!"Drop!"The sound was as sharp and clear as a bell, resounding powerfully. In an instant, the hundred golden needles suspended in the air trembled as if they had received a command.Whoosh!The needles descended rapidly from the sky, tracing a path that resembled a golden river in the air.At the same time, a sharp light exploded in Liam's eyes.Everyone believed that the Thirteen Ghost Needles technique was meant to ward off evil and suppress spirits. However, only Liam knew the truth.The Thirteen Ghost Needles technique was, in fact, a technique to snatch life from death at the very moment of passing, to repel ghosts and bring the deceased back!They could drive away the
"My darling girl!"The farmer's voice, filled with overwhelming joy, burst out suddenly. He gently tugged on his little girl's hand, ensuring that her body had indeed recovered. Once he was certain, the farmer turned toward Liam abruptly."Thank you, kind sir! Thank you!"He faced Liam and knelt down again with a thud. Immediately, the sound of him bowing reverberated repeatedly. If the first time the farmer had knelt before Liam it was out of helpless necessity, his bow came from the depths of his heart, sincere and genuine, without a trace of falsehood."Thank you, kind sir! I, Wyatt Candor, will repay your great kindness and virtue even if I must work like an ox or a horse! Truly, thank you, kind sir!"Wyatt, the farmer, seemingly impervious to pain, continued to slam his head against the ground. "Alright, alright!" Liam quickly stepped forward and helped Wyatt up, advising him earnestly."What you need to do now is not bow to me in gratitude but to prepare and consider ho
Raaina recalled the events that occurred after she first met Liam, and she could not help but pause abruptly.At that moment, Otto's voice broke the silence. "It was a misunderstanding on our part back then!"With a flicker of his eyes and a broad smile, he approached Liam and continued, "It was our mistake. We misjudged the situation and didn't recognize the presence of your greatness, Grandmaster Burrey!"It was not just Otto."Grandmaster Burrey truly lives up to his name! To witness the legendary Thirteen Ghost Needles with our own eyes is a rare privilege indeed!"Scott quickly approached Liam, exclaiming, "We were truly blind to your expertise. Grandmaster Burrey, your medical skills are unparalleled. We should've invited you to join the Medical Guild earlier so that we could learn from you!"After everything that had happened, both Otto and Scott's attitudes toward Liam changed instantly. However, Liam's demeanor toward them became noticeably colder after witnessing thei
