The three of them stopped talking, and Yang Cao began explaining the treatment plan to everyone.
Yang Cao pointed to a diagram of the human body and said, "First, after the herbs Brother Chen needs are brewed, Master Ye will drink it. It will protect Master Ye’s joints while stimulating the parasites, causing them to become active. At this point, I will apply another medication to Master Ye’s skin to attract these parasites."
"And then?" Master Ye asked.
Yang Cao pointed to the structural diagram and said, "We will create incisions at each joint to let them crawl out on their own."
"Crawl out?" Master Ye’s face slightly changed. Get full chapters from 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
The others’ faces also changed slightly.
They all knew the quantity and size of the parasites inside Master Ye’s body.
It’s unimaginable to think of them crawling out from all the incisions.
Yang Cao added, "During the surgery, anesthesia cannot be used to avoid also numbing the parasites, so the entire process might be very painful."
Ye Liangcai frowned and said, "Is there no other way? My father is old, and I’m afraid he won’t be able to withstand such pain!"
However, Master Ye was stout-hearted and said in a deep voice, "What’s there to fear! Back in the war, without anesthetics, I had a bullet taken out of me without a word of complaint; this pain is nothing!"
"But..." Ye Liangcai was still very worried.
At this moment, Professor Chen raised his hand and said, "I have a few questions I want to ask."
Yang Cao glanced at Yang Chen.
Yang Cao said, "Please, go ahead."
Professor Chen stood up and said, "First, I’m puzzled about how your so-called medicine protects the joints and muscles, and why it would drive away parasites? I don’t understand, is this medicine taken orally, applied externally, or injected?"
Yang Cao replied, "Ingested!"
"How long in advance does it need to be taken?"
"I seriously doubt it can be effective in just an hour! It’s simply too miraculous! According to the theory of drug absorption, for a drug to reach the affected area and take effect requires a long time, let alone to form protection. I am very doubtful about this," Professor Chen said.
Dr. Liu also said, "Yes, I also have my doubts."
Professor Sun said, "There are too many loopholes. Have you seen such parasites before? Or have you already achieved results in your research? Why are you sure that external application can lure out these parasites?"
"This..." Hearing the professors, even Ye Liangcai began to have doubts.
Yang Chen sighed, stood up, and said to Yang Cao, "Did you bring the medicine?"
"I have it right here!" Yang Cao took out a small bottle resembling eye drops from his pocket and handed it to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen took the bottle, walked over to Master Ye, and said, "Master, if you don’t mind, we can give it a try."
Master Ye nodded and said, "Trying it out could be good!"
After all, he didn’t know how painful it would be, and trying it out could help him prepare mentally for tomorrow.
Yang Chen nodded, extended his hand.
Yang Cao promptly handed over the pre-prepared alcohol and cotton swab.
After disinfecting Master Ye’s wrist, Yang Chen took the already sterilized scalpel handed over by Yang Cao.
With one hand, he dripped the solution onto the wrist, then quickly slashed across Master Ye’s wrist with the scalpel.
Blood splattered out instantly.
Master Ye’s brow barely moved, but he didn’t cry out in pain.
He felt that the pain was still bearable.
But soon, Master Ye’s expression changed.
He felt an itchy sensation at his wrist, followed by a series of sharp pains.
This feeling was peculiar, like needles growing from within the bone, slowly piercing outward, with something trying to burrow out.
Soon, a white parasite poked its head out from the wound.
Witnessing this, everyone couldn’t help but gasp.
"It’s actually coming out!"
"How is this possible!"
"Oh my God! It’s really working!"
"They’ve actually researched to this extent!"
The three professors were full of admiration.
Ye Liangcai was also shocked; seeing the scene on the CT scan and witnessing the living organism with his own eyes were incomparable in terms of visual impact and real feeling.
However, as soon as a parasite crawled out, Yang Chen immediately poured alcohol on Master Ye’s wrist.
At this point, Master Ye’s expression eased significantly.
The piercing pain disappeared.
Yang Chen said, "Since your joints are not yet protected by the medicine, removing these bugs could harm your joints, so we can’t remove too many right now."
Master Ye nodded, saying in a deep voice, "I understand!"
Master Ye now had a rough idea of the pain he might endure.
Meanwhile, the three professors continued to ask questions, eager to understand what exactly was happening.
Yang Chen said, "You can ask Yang Cao; he was the one who researched this."
After speaking, Yang Chen bid farewell to Master Ye and Ye Liangcai to go rest, as preparations for tomorrow’s surgery still needed to be made.
The two escorted Yang Chen out of the hall.
Returning to the chamber, Yang Chen sat cross-legged on the stone bed and began to meditate.
After all, the herbs required for tomorrow weren’t ones that could be brewed with ordinary fire; Inner Fire was needed.
So, Yang Chen needed to maintain his best condition.
The grand hall was imposing and majestic, layers of thin mist hanging over the roof, giving it an ethereal, fairyland-like appearance.
Shangxi quickly entered the grand hall, and addressed Kun Bai sitting in the main seat, "Master! Ye Xin hasn’t left the room for eight days!"
Upon hearing this, Kun Bai frowned and asked, "Has she eaten?"
Shangxi hesitated and said, "By count... just one meal a day!"
"This is unacceptable!" Kun Bai immediately stood up, angrily saying, "Why am I only being told now?"
Shangxi hung his head and said, "Sect Master, didn’t you say to let Ye Xin meditate alone for a while first?"
Shangxi said, "Every time I deliver her meals, the Shanghua master says she’s meditating; every visit, she’s found meditating with crossed legs."
"You say she’s meditating, and so she is?!" Kun Bai scolded angrily.
Shangxi lowered his head, not daring to speak.
Kun Bai thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "No! I have to check! If anything happens, no one can bear that responsibility!"
With this in mind, Kun Bai immediately said, "Lead the way!"
"Yes!" Shangxi promptly turned and led the way for Kun Bai.
This large hall had long been empty.
Now that Ye Xin had returned, the hall was re-opened for her residence and cultivation, truly treating her with extra care.
Back then, Yunxin Hall was just one of the branch halls, capable of accommodating hundreds, even thousands of disciples, and now it was solely Ye Xin’s space.
Thinking of this, Kun Bai couldn’t help but sigh, lamenting the unpredictability of fate.
Soon, under Shangxi’s lead, Kun Bai arrived at the door of Ye Xin’s chamber.
Standing at the door, Kun Bai already sensed a wave of heat.
