Chapter 16 – Prolonging life


“Unless I can open the heavenly eyes!” Ye Qiu thought to himself.

Among the Maoshan Talisman, there is a magical secret technique called opening the heavenly eyes.

It is said that there is an eye hidden two inches above the human’s forehead, called the heavenly eye.

Once the heavenly eye is opened, it can not only see through, but also see some ordinary things that cannot be seen, such as…

Ghosts!

Evil spirits!

Monsters!

Even, when the heavenly eye is cultivated to the extreme, it can also predict good and bad fortune in advance, see personal luck and the general trend of the world.

In short, it has endless uses.

However, the heavenly eye cannot be opened by just anyone.

Opening the heavenly eye is divided into innate and acquired.

Some people, such as the Yellow Emperor, Shennong, Fuxi, and Nuwa, these legendary mythological figures, opened the heavenly eye as soon as they were born.

Another way is to open the heavenly eye through hard work and cultivation, such as Zhuge Liang, Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang, and Liu Bowen.

But without exception, everyone who opens the heavenly eye is famous for all generations and leaves a lasting reputation for thousands of years.

They are all heroes of the world!

The Yin-Yang Snake Gu is hidden in the blood, as small as a hair, and is difficult to detect by medical means. If Ye Qiu can open the heavenly eyes, he can use the perspective function of the heavenly eyes to find the Yin-Yang Snake Gu in the Dragon King’s blood.

It’s just that he just received the inheritance yesterday, and he hasn’t had time to cultivate the heavenly eyes.

Even if he starts cultivating from now on, it’s too late, because the Dragon King only has seven days to live.

“Little Ye, you just said unless, unless what? Have you found a way to cure me?” The Dragon King asked anxiously.

When it comes to life and death, this big shot who dominates the underground world of Jiangzhou can no longer remain calm.

Ye Qiu nodded and said, “There is indeed a method to help you remove the poison in your body, but unfortunately, I don’t know how to do it.”

“Since you don’t know, then hurry up and learn!” Zhao Yun said.

Ye Qiu smiled bitterly and said, “If I can learn it in a short time, I will definitely learn it right away.”

“Little Ye, can others learn the method you mentioned?” The Dragon King thought to himself that if others could learn it, he would not hesitate to gather talents to learn it, as long as it could save his life, no matter what the cost.

“I’m afraid others can’t learn it.” Ye Qiu said, “For thousands of years, only a few people have mastered it.”

“You are so mysterious, what method are you talking about? I don’t believe that no one can learn it?” Zhao Yun questioned Ye Qiu’s words.

“Yeah, what method is it? Tell us.” The Dragon King also felt that Ye Qiu’s words were a bit exaggerated.

“Have you heard of opening the heavenly eyes?” Ye Qiu asked.

Suddenly, the Dragon King’s body trembled.

“I have heard of opening the heavenly eyes. It is a very profound secret technique. It is said that only high monks and reclusive experts can master it.” The Dragon King asked, “Is this related to curing the poison in my body?”

“Not only is it related, it is very important.” Ye Qiu explained, “The Yin-Yang Snake Gu is hidden in the blood and is extremely difficult to find. If the heavenly eyes are opened, the Gu can be easily found. Dragon King, do you know who has mastered this secret technique?”

The Dragon King said, “This kind of secret technique is not something ordinary people can master. Looking around the world, if there is really someone who can master it, I’m afraid there are only those three people.”

“Which three people?”

“The head of Wudang Mountain and the head of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, as well as the living Buddha of the Tibetan Palace.”

“Dragon King, let me advise you to find them as soon as possible. Perhaps they can save your life.” Ye Qiu said.

“The head of Wudang Mountain and the head of Dragon and Tiger Mountain closed their life and death doors ten years ago in order to compete for the top spot on the Dragon List. As for the living Buddha of the Tibetan Palace, it is said that he entered the desert on foot a year ago to seek the true meaning of Buddhism. There has been no news so far, and it is unknown whether he is alive or dead.” The Dragon King looked up at the sky and sighed in despair, “It seems that the old man in the sky wants to take me away!”

Zhao Yun immediately said, “Dragon King, I will take people to the desert now to find the living Buddha.”

“No need to waste your efforts.” The Dragon King said, “Not to mention whether the living Buddha can be found, even if he is found, it is unknown whether the living Buddha has opened the heavenly eyes. Even if he really opens the heavenly eyes, I, as a small figure, am afraid that I am not qualified to ask the living Buddha for help.”

Although the Dragon King is a king in the underground world of Jiangzhou, in the eyes of the living Buddha and the head of Wudang Mountain, he is just a small character who cannot step onto the stage.

“But…” Zhao Yun wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the Dragon King raising his hand.

“As the saying goes, life and death are fate, and wealth and honor are in the hands of fate. Since there is no way, let’s listen to fate!” The Dragon King said.

A look of sorrow appeared on Zhao Yun’s face.

At this time, the Dragon King said kindly to Ye Qiu, “Little Ye, thank you for coming to see me today.”

“Don’t be polite, I didn’t help you with anything.” Ye Qiu looked at the Dragon King with confusion.Dragon King said, “Over the years, I have visited numerous famous doctors, none of whom could detect the Gu poison in my body, yet you saw it at a glance. In my eyes, your medical skill far surpasses those who seek fame under false pretenses. Keep it up, I believe you will one day become a renowned healer, no, a divine Healer!”

“I will definitely work hard.”

“Ye Qiu, is there anything you need my help with?” the Dragon King continued, “Although I am a dying man, I still hold some sway here in Jiangzhou.”

Ye Qiu was on the verge of asking.

He wanted to ask the Dragon King for help with his job, and it would be even better if he could deal with Guo Shaocong, but on second thought, it seemed somewhat inappropriate.

After all, the Dragon King’s days were numbered.

It felt somewhat unkind to ask a favor of someone who was about to die.

With this in mind, Ye Qiu said, “Thank you for your kindness, I am grateful. I only wish for your health to improve, and ask for nothing more.”

“I knew you would say that.” The Dragon King’s expression became solemn as he commanded, “Zhao Yun, heed my order!”

“Zhao Yun is present!”

Zhao Yun bowed with a fist in palm.

The Dragon King said, “After my death, you must take good care of Ye Qiu. Should Ye Qiu have any requests, as long as they do not violate the moral code of the jianghu, agree to them. Do you understand?”

“I understand.”

“Very good.” The Dragon King then said to Ye Qiu, “I have always disliked owing favors. Yesterday, you saved my grandson from drowning, and today you treated my illness. I’m afraid I won’t have the chance to repay this debt, so I must entrust Zhao Yun with it. Ye Qiu, if you encounter any trouble in the future, you can seek out Zhao Yun.”

“Dragon King, you are too polite. I haven’t done much, and this makes me feel quite uneasy.”

“Don’t worry about these trifles. I hope that when you become a divine Healer in the future, you will hang your pot to help the world and save all beings.” The Dragon King patted Ye Qiu’s shoulder and instructed Zhao Yun, “See the guest out!”

“Dr. Ye, please.”

“Take care of yourself.”

Ye Qiu said to the Dragon King, then turned and walked away.

After a few steps, suddenly, Ye Qiu sharply turned back.
