Ethan Carter shook his head and said, "I've already eaten. Since I'm here to save someone, let's not waste any time!"
"Alright then, Mr. Lu, please follow me!"
Henry Collins quickly said, leading the way in front. He brought Ethan Carter to a bedroom, where a little boy was quietly reading a book. It was William Collins, whom Ethan Carter had met before.
"Xiaoyu, this is the Brother Lu you've been talking about all this time. Aren't you going to come and say hello?" Emily Collins said.
"Hello, Brother Lu!"
The little boy's eyes lit up instantly. He jumped off the bed and hurried over to greet him.
Emily Collins smiled gently, showing a beautiful smile, and said, "We told him about you before. Xiaoyu has always admired heroes since he was little, so he especially looks up to you!"
Ethan Carter patted the little boy's head and said, "Xiaoyu is very well-behaved. In a moment, big brother will treat you, okay?"
"Mm, okay!"
William Collins nodded vigorously, his face full of excitement.
Ethan Carter had the little boy lie down, then began to perform dazzling acupuncture techniques. One by one, needles formed from condensed qi were inserted around William Collins's chest.
Henry Collins and Emily Collins, father and daughter, were extremely concerned about the outcome of the treatment and were very nervous.
But behind Henry Collins, James Harris stared wide-eyed because of Ethan Carter's miraculous skills.
Condensing qi into needles!
This was simply a legendary technique!
Now, as time goes on, the changes in the world have become more profound. Originally, the stages of Ming Jin, An Jin, and Hua Jin were just about physical strength, but now some true qi has begun to appear within the body.
Just like the kind of power described in martial arts novels.
However, for true qi to be truly useful, only a Dan-holding grandmaster could possibly achieve that. His master was such a grandmaster, so he knew more than ordinary people.
Even his master was still rather rough in using true qi. It was fine for fighting, but to condense true qi into needles was simply impossible.
Not to mention, after the true qi leaves the body, it can still remain for a long time without dissipating!
This kind of technique is practically the stuff of martial arts legends!
The more advanced a cultivator is, the more they understand how incredible Ethan Carter's skill is.
Whether it was his astonishing cultivation or his control over true qi, both were at a world-shocking level.
After a long while, Ethan Carter stopped, and the true qi needles in William Collins's chest all disappeared, turning into a mysterious force that surged into William Collins's body.
"Xiaoyu, how do you feel?"
Emily Collins hurried forward, her beautiful face full of concern.
"It feels very comfortable, my chest feels warm!"
William Collins said.
This finally allowed Henry Collins and Emily Collins to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Lu, how is Xiaoyu's condition?" Henry Collins asked Ethan Carter.
Ethan Carter paused and said, "Xiaoyu's condition is quite serious. After all, it's a congenital heart disease, so..."
Hearing this, Henry Collins and Emily Collins immediately felt their hearts tighten, but then they heard Ethan Carter continue, "So it can't be cured in one session. It will probably take about a month, with one treatment per week. After a month, he should be able to recover to a normal state!"
Hearing this, Henry Collins and Emily Collins finally breathed a sigh of relief. Emily Collins couldn't help but give Ethan Carter a charming, playful glare for making them so nervous.
Ethan Carter just smiled faintly. It's nice to be playful once in a while.
Unlike his previous life, which was full of hardship and hatred, after being reborn in this life, his parents and loved ones were all still here, and his mindset had become much better.
Yes, in this life, he would never let the tragedies of his previous life happen again—not to anyone!
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, thank you so much!" Henry Collins said quickly. Even though he had weathered countless storms in his life, at this moment he couldn't help but show his excitement.
Because William Collins was his only son and the family's only hope, William Collins's heart disease had always been his greatest worry. Now that Ethan Carter could cure William Collins, it was equivalent to saving the future of the Lu family. How could he not be grateful?
"Mr. Lu, please wait a moment!"
With that, Henry Collins left the room. After a while, he returned holding a large red wooden box, which he handed to Ethan Carter, saying, "Mr. Lu, you have saved my son and daughter twice. I have nothing to repay you with. Ordinary things may not interest you, but this three-hundred-year-old ginseng king was something I bought at auction the year before last. I originally intended to use it to save my own life, but I think it will be of even greater use to a cultivator like you!"
Ethan Carter opened the wooden box. Inside lay a ginseng root almost shaped like a human.
Behind Henry Collins, James Harris, who had been as calm as a meditating monk, couldn't help but start breathing heavily when he saw the ginseng.
Because he knew all too well how precious a three-hundred-year-old ginseng king was. At a regular auction, it would fetch at least eight million, maybe even ten million.
It was practically the finest ginseng available on the market. As for the legendary thousand-year-old ginseng, even if it existed, it would be a national treasure, only found in the imperial palace or in the hands of families with a deep historical heritage.
