Chapter 16

Unless I can open the Heavenly Eye!

Ye Qiu thought to himself.

Among the magical spells of Mount Mao, there is a mysterious secret technique called the Heavenly Eye.

It is said that two inches above the glabella, there is a hidden eye, known as the Heavenly Eye.

Once the Heavenly Eye is opened, one can not only see through things but also see things that are normally invisible, such as...

Ghosts!

Evil auras!

Demons!

Furthermore, if the Heavenly Eye is cultivated to its peak, one can even predict the future, discern personal fortunes, and understand the trends of the world.

In short, its uses are endless.

However, not everyone can open the Heavenly Eye.

Opening the Heavenly Eye can be divided into innate and acquired.

Some people are born with the Heavenly Eye open, such as emperors, Shen Nong, Fuxi, and Nüwa, these legendary mythological figures.

Another way is through cultivation, such as Zhuge Liang, Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tian Gang, and Liu Bowen.

Without exception, every person who has opened the Heavenly Eye has been renowned for generations, their names passed down through the ages.

They are all heroes of their time!

The Yin-Yang Snake Charm is hidden in the blood, as fine as a hair, and its traces are hard to detect. Medical means cannot detect it at all. If Ye Qiu could open the Heavenly Eye, he could use its透视功能 to find the Yin-Yang Snake Charm in the Dragon King's bloodstream.

However, he had only just received the inheritance yesterday and hadn't even started to cultivate the Heavenly Eye yet.

Even if he started cultivating now, it would be too late, as the Dragon King only had seven days to live.

"Xiao Ye, you said 'unless,' unless what? Have you found a way to treat me?" the Dragon King asked anxiously.

Matters of life and death made this powerful figure in the Jiangzhou underworld unable to remain calm.

Ye Qiu nodded and said, "There is indeed a method to help you clear the poison from your body, but unfortunately, I don't know it."

"Since you don't know it, then learn it quickly!" Zhao Yun said.

Ye Qiu smiled bitterly and said, "If I could learn it in a short time, I would definitely do so."

"Xiao Ye, can others learn this method?"

The Dragon King thought that if others could learn it, he would spare no effort to gather the necessary talent. As long as it could save his life, any cost would be worth it.

"Probably not," Ye Qiu said. "Throughout history, only a few people have mastered it."

"Are you being so mysterious? What method is it? I don't believe no one can learn it," Zhao Yun questioned Ye Qiu.

"Yes, what method is it? Tell us," the Dragon King also found Ye Qiu's words exaggerated.

"Have you heard of the Heavenly Eye?"

Ye Qiu asked.

The Dragon King was immediately startled.

"I've heard of the Heavenly Eye. It's a very profound secret technique. It's said that only enlightened monks and reclusive masters can possibly master it." The Dragon King asked, "Is this related to treating my poison?"

"Not only is it related, but it's very much related." Ye Qiu explained, "The Yin-Yang Snake Charm is hidden in the blood and is extremely difficult to detect. If the Heavenly Eye is opened, the charm can be easily found. Dragon King, do you know who has mastered this secret technique?"

The Dragon King said, "This secret technique is not something just anyone can master. Looking at the world, if anyone has truly mastered it, there are probably only three people."

"Who are they?"

"The leaders of Wudang Mountain and Longhu Mountain, and the Living Buddha of the Tibetan Heavenly Palace."

"Dragon King, listen to me, find them quickly. Perhaps they can save your life," Ye Qiu said.

"The leaders of Wudang Mountain and Longhu Mountain have been in seclusion for ten years, trying to reach the top of the Dragon List. As for the Living Buddha of the Tibetan Heavenly Palace, it's said that he entered the desert a year ago to seek the true meaning of Buddhism and has not been heard from since, whether he is alive or dead is unknown." The Dragon King looked up at the sky and sighed in despair, "It seems that heaven is taking me!"

Zhao Yun immediately said, "Dragon King, I will lead people to the desert to find the Living Buddha."

"Don't waste your effort." The Dragon King said, "Not to mention whether we can find the Living Buddha, even if we do, it's uncertain whether he has opened the Heavenly Eye. Even if he has, I, a minor figure, probably don't have the qualifications to ask him for help."

Despite his power in the Jiangzhou underworld, the Dragon King was just a minor figure in the eyes of the Living Buddha and the leaders of Wudang Mountain.

"But..." Zhao Yun wanted to speak but was interrupted by the Dragon King's raised hand.

"As the saying goes, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are decided by heaven. Since there is no way, we must accept our fate," the Dragon King said.

Zhao Yun's face showed sorrow.

At this moment, the Dragon King said to Ye Qiu kindly, "Xiao Ye, thank you for coming to treat me today."

"You're too kind, I haven't helped you at all."

The Dragon King laughed and said, "Didn't I just say that life and death are determined by fate? This is my destiny. But I still want to praise you."

Ye Qiu looked at the Dragon King in confusion.

The Dragon King said, "In recent years, I have visited many famous doctors, but none of them could detect the poison in my body. You saw it at a glance. In my opinion, your medical skills are far superior to those who are only famous for their names. Keep it up, I believe you will become a great doctor, no, a great physician!"

"I will definitely work hard."

"Ye Qiu, is there anything you need help with?" the Dragon King continued, "Although I am a dying man, I still have some influence in Jiangzhou."

Ye Qiu almost spoke up.

He wanted to ask the Dragon King to help him with his job and to deal with Guo Shaocong, but he thought it was inappropriate.

After all, the Dragon King didn't have long to live.

Asking a dying man for help was not very considerate.

Thinking this, Ye Qiu said, "Thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it. I only hope your condition improves, nothing more."

"I knew you would say that." The Dragon King's face became serious, and he commanded, "Zhao Yun, listen up!"

"Zhao Yun is here!"

Zhao Yun bowed and clasped his fists.

The Dragon King said, "After I die, you must take good care of Ye Qiu. If Ye Qiu has any requests, as long as they do not violate the code of the underworld, you must fulfill them. Remember?"

"Understood."

"Very good." The Dragon King then said to Ye Qiu, "I don't like owing favors. Yesterday, you saved my grandson from drowning, and today you treated me. I probably won't have the chance to repay you, so I can only entrust Zhao Yun. Ye Qiu, if you encounter any trouble in the future, you can find Zhao Yun."

"Dragon King, you're too kind. I haven't done anything, and this makes me feel very uncomfortable."

"These are small matters, don't worry about them. I hope that when you become a great physician, you will use your skills to help the world." The Dragon King patted Ye Qiu on the shoulder and instructed Zhao Yun, "See him out!"

"Doctor Ye, please."

"Take care."

Ye Qiu said to the Dragon King and turned to leave.

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