Su Jingyu's face was filled with surprise.

Previously, Shen Feng had described the various symptoms of Master Wu, and now he had immediately identified Wang Anxiong's loss of taste with just one look.

If Shen Feng had not heard about Wang Anxiong's condition before, this would be enough to be described as incredible.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, auscultation and olfaction, inquiry, and palpation.

But a traditional Chinese doctor who can diagnose a disease with just one look is a rare existence in all of China!

Wang Anxiong was only momentarily distracted, and his face did not show any joy. In Wuzhou, many people knew about his loss of taste, and if one wanted to find out, it was still possible to do so.

During the two years since his loss of taste, many self-proclaimed famous doctors had come uninvited, claiming they could cure his tongue. Some of them indeed had some skills, but most were there to cheat for money.

He had no special hobbies; what he enjoyed most was tasting various delicious dishes. Since losing his sense of taste, he found it hard to swallow any food. Over time, his appetite gradually decreased, and after a doctor's diagnosis, he might have developed anorexia. If this continued, it would have a serious adverse effect on his health.

"Little brother, everyone must be responsible for what they say. Are you sure you can restore my sense of taste?"

Wang Anxiong, with a sallow complexion, unconsciously twisted his neck and stared sharply at Shen Feng.

Qian Fatty's face, with its fatty jowls, trembled. "Kid, if you want to cheat for money, you should have found out about Brother Wang's reputation first. Don't let a momentary greed destroy yourself."

In the upper echelons of Wuzhou, Wang Anxiong was known for his ruthless methods.

However, this was only towards his enemies. He was very loyal to his brothers and friends.

Su Jingyu tugged at Shen Feng's sleeve and whispered, "Now is not the time to show off. It's still possible to leave immediately."

Her tone was more anxious.

Shen Feng did indeed show a bit of mystery, but even many top doctors in Wuzhou couldn't cure Wang Anxiong's loss of taste.

This was their first meeting since she graduated from high school. She had heard before that Shen Feng had been admitted to the medical university in Tianhai.

But treating diseases is not just about talking. The safest choice now was to leave as soon as possible.

However, Shen Feng paid no heed to Su Jingyu's advice. He looked at Wang Anxiong and said, "I can immediately restore your sense of taste, but you must first give me the jade beads on your wrist."

Wang Anxiong became a bit interested in Shen Feng. This young man had been calm throughout, and since he had no hope of regaining his sense of taste, why not give it a try?

He took off the string of jade beads from his wrist. "Little brother, it's up to you now."

Shen Feng, holding the string of jade beads, felt the rich spiritual energy within and couldn't help but smile.

Based on the spiritual energy content in the jade beads, he could simply tidy up the chaotic meridians in his body.

Qian Fatty watched Shen Feng coldly. He didn't think this beggar-like figure could help Wang Anxiong regain his sense of taste.

He and Wang Anxiong had a good relationship, and he knew how much money Wang Anxiong had spent on treating his tongue, but all the results were disappointing.

This mere young man dared to boast that he could immediately restore Wang Anxiong's sense of taste?

"Kid, do you know what you're doing? Do you know how many famous doctors have examined Brother Wang's tongue?"

"If you're just putting on a show, I think you'll be the one to lose your tongue."

Qian Fatty, who originally seemed harmless, showed a fierce expression that didn't match his appearance.

Shen Feng smiled indifferently. "Their medical skills are not as good as mine."

He was a mighty Immortal Emperor in the Immortal Realm. In the world he controlled, who was qualified enough for him to treat?

Now, to get a string of jade beads containing spiritual energy, he had to lower himself to treat an ordinary person, and still be doubted?

However, he now needed the jade beads and didn't want to argue with these people.

Shen Feng's straightforward words reached Qian Fatty's ears, and he seemed to have heard a joke. "Kid, do you have any shame? Do you think you're the reincarnation of Hua Tuo?"

Shen Feng thought seriously for two seconds. "Hua Tuo couldn't cure his tongue, and my medical skills are better than Hua Tuo's."

This time, Qian Fatty was amused, and even Wang Anxiong's lips curled into a smile.

Su Jingyu, standing behind Shen Feng, was so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on her nose. Shen Feng's boasting was completely baseless, and such unreliable words came out of his mouth so easily.

"Go buy a box of silver needles for me."

When Su Jingyu didn't know how to persuade him, she heard Shen Feng's calm voice again.

Seeing Su Jingyu's stunned expression, Shen Feng frowned. "If you're busy, I can go myself."

Qian Fatty blocked Shen Feng's path. "Don't try such childish tricks here. After getting the jade beads, you want to run away? There's no such easy thing in this world."

Su Jingyu bit her lip. "I'll go buy them."

After stepping out of the Qibao Pavilion, she felt increasingly angry, feeling like she was being treated like Shen Feng's maid, being ordered around.

There was a place selling silver needles in the antique market.

In no time, Su Jingyu bought the silver needles and asked in a low voice, "How confident are you in curing his tongue?"

At this point, she could only temporarily trust Shen Feng.

If Shen Feng couldn't cure Wang Anxiong's tongue, she would likely be implicated.

"Absolutely confident," Shen Feng said without changing his expression.

In Su Jingyu's memory, Shen Feng was a shy boy. How did he become so boastful now?

After disinfecting the silver needles, Shen Feng said to Wang Anxiong, "Stick out your tongue."

Qian Fatty quickly said, "Are you going to stick needles into Brother Wang's tongue? Don't be reckless. If anything happens to Brother Wang, it won't be as simple as just losing your tongue."

Shen Feng looked straight at Wang Anxiong. "Don't want to be treated?"

Wang Anxiong waved his hand. "Qian Fatty, be quiet and watch. Don't talk nonsense. I, Wang Anxiong, have experienced everything. Am I afraid of a few needles on my tongue?"

Qian Fatty closed his mouth anxiously.

After Wang Anxiong stuck out his tongue, Shen Feng picked up a silver needle. He was about to use a common acupuncture technique from the Immortal Realm.

The Three Spirit Needles.

Although it was just a common technique from the Immortal Realm, it required spiritual energy to assist.

Holding the string of jade beads in his left hand, he tried to draw out some spiritual energy from the beads to inject into the silver needles.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Shen Feng's needle insertion was fast and smooth.

In just a second, three silver needles were all inserted into Wang Anxiong's tongue.

Then, he sequentially held the three silver needles and slowly rotated them, using the spiritual energy drawn from the jade beads to inject some into them.

Su Jingyu held her breath, her beautiful eyes fixed on Shen Feng.

Qian Fatty's forehead broke out in a cold sweat. If anything happened to Wang Anxiong here, he would be in trouble too.

After the spiritual energy was injected, the three silver needles on Wang Anxiong's tongue emitted a faint glow and trembled slightly.

According to Shen Feng's perception,

Wang Anxiong's tongue was continuously necrotizing, but this was not a common necrotic state, so it couldn't be detected by modern medical equipment.

The Three Spirit Needles could activate cells and promote cell regeneration. With the assistance of spiritual energy, it could rapidly regenerate the cells in Wang Anxiong's tongue.

Wang Anxiong felt a slight warmth on his tongue, followed by a cool sensation, and finally a tingling feeling, which made him feel extremely satisfied.

A few minutes later.

As Shen Feng quickly pulled out the three silver needles, he asked Qian Fatty, "Is there anything edible here?"

Qian Fatty searched for a while and only found a box of cold medicine.

Just to test if the sense of taste had been restored, anything with a taste would do.

After taking the cold medicine, Shen Feng took one pill and placed it in Wang Anxiong's palm. "Try to see if you can taste it."

Although his tongue had felt abnormal just now, Wang Anxiong didn't really believe his sense of taste could be restored in such a short time.

He nervously put the cold medicine in his mouth.

The next second,

His brows furrowed tightly, and he spat out the cold medicine. "Bitter! So bitter!"
