Chapter 124 of "Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor" commences with: Chapter 124: Chapter 124: You Can’t Cure ItAlthough the needle case was only the size... Don’t miss the next part!

Chapter 124: Chapter 124: You Can’t Cure ItAlthough the needle case was only the size of a palm, it was not very convenient to carry around. Fang Bai couldn’t help but think of the spatial spirit devices used for storage in that other world. If only he had a spatial ring now, he could put all sorts of things he needed to carry inside, which would be both safe and convenient. Unfortunately, although Fang Bai had various methods to create spatial spirit devices in his mind, he lacked the essential "space stone" for crafting them and didn’t have enough power. For now, he could only think about it. Fang Bai was not worried that Qiu Zhan would discover the Five Elements Acupuncture Set after he brought it back to the courtyard, Powerful as Qiu Zhan was, he had not reached the Innate Realm. Martial artists who hadn’t reached the Innate Realm couldn’t sense the existence of Heaven and Earth Origin Energy. So even if Fang Bai placed the Five Elements Acupuncture Set in front of Qiu Zhan, he wouldn’t know that, apart from its marvelous use in healing and saving lives, it could also serve as an extremely formidable weapon. Fang Bai placed the five needles of different properties back into the needle case and tucked the case into his bosom, excitedly arriving at Su Linglong’s villa. Upon reaching the front gate of the Su Family villa, he found Su Linglong standing there waiting for him, with an old man around sixty years old and two bodyguards behind her. That old man must be Su Fu, previously mentioned by Linglong on her phone. Su Fu was the butler by Old Master Su’s side, Su Hongyuan, who had saved his life when he was younger. Although not a real member of the Su family, he was utterly loyal to them, to the extent of changing his surname to Su. Assigned by Su Hongyuan to Yanjing to look after this villa, Su Fu was actually there to take care of his granddaughter, Linglong. The two bodyguards, surprisingly both women, weren’t very tall and wore ear-length short hair and black casual attire. Their eyes were sharp and spirited, and their presence forceful, clearly indicating they were highly skilled practitioners. Since Fang Bai had appeared, the eyes of the two female bodyguards had been glaring at him like tigers watching their prey, ready to subdue him at the slightest sign of him being a threat to Linglong. Between the old butler Su Fu and the two female bodyguards, Fang Bai was more interested in Su Fu. Su Fu had a kindly face, radiant with health, and his laugh resembled that of Maitreya Buddha. Although he was sixty years old, he looked to be only in his fifties. Fang Bai was interested in him because he saw that the Su family’s old butler was a martial artist, and his strength was likely at the middle stage of the Yellow Level, which was considered a top-notch expert in the secular world. That Su Hongyuan arranged such a skilled master to protect Linglong showed how much he doted on his granddaughter. Although Linglong’s parents were far away in Zhongzhou, they were very strict with her, adamantly forbidding her from going out at night to mix with others, to prevent any mishaps. Linglong had no choice but to invite Fang Bai to her home and had the servants prepare a sumptuous meal for the two of them. As they ate and chatted, although Su Fu stood aside and did not join them, his gaze never left the two. Seeing Su Fu guard him as if he were guarding against a wolf, Fang Bai couldn’t help but smile wryly, knowing this was surely arranged by Linglong’s parents. Linglong had a favorable impression of Fang Bai, which was common knowledge in the Su family. Linglong’s parents certainly did not want their hard-raised precious daughter to be led astray by Fang Bai. Pity the heart of parents the world over, Fang Bai could understand Linglong’s parents’ feelings and did not blame them. In fact, Fang Bai didn’t have any other intentions; his time with Linglong was merely to have a meal and chat. Fang Bai thought to himself, if he really wanted to do something to Linglong, the two of them would have plenty of opportunities doing their hospital internship together in the future—it would be impossible to guard against. After dinner, the two of them went to the villa’s balcony to stargaze for a while. With Su Fu watching, Linglong didn’t dare to get too close to Fang Bai, which left her quite unhappy. Seeing that it was getting late, Fang Bai, worried about returning too late and causing the landlord’s displeasure, bid farewell to Su Linglong and headed back to the courtyard where he lived. Upon entering the courtyard, Fang Bai sensed that something was amiss in the atmosphere. Qiu Zhan and his daughter Qiu Mingyue were standing silently facing each other under the eaves of the three northern rooms, their expressions filled with sorrow.

The usually mischievous "Little Witch" Mingyue was sobbing with her tiny shoulders trembling, her face covered in tears. Qiu Zhan looked anxious, frequently glancing towards the room on the eastern side of the north, and Fang Bai noticed that he, who never smoked, was chain-smoking, one cigarette after another. "Uncle, is Auntie feeling unwell again?" Fang Bai hesitated for a moment before approaching and quietly asked. Qiu Zhan gave him a brief glance, nodded, but his face lacked even the slightest hint of a smile. Fang Bai turned his head toward the room where Qiu Yuzhi was, perceiving that her energy was even weaker than it had been in the morning. At this rate, she would most likely succumb to the poison within three days. "Uncle, our family comes from a long line of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. Why not let me try to treat Auntie?" Fang Bai spoke earnestly. After several encounters with Qiu Zhan’s family over the past few days, he found them quite agreeable, particularly Mingyue’s pitiful state, which tugged at his heart, prompting him to decide to lend them a hand. "This isn’t an ordinary illness, you can’t treat it." Upon hearing Fang Bai’s offer, Qiu Zhan furrowed his brows slightly and without a second thought firmly rejected his kindness. He himself hailed from a Hidden Sect renowned for its medical expertise, and his medical skills were no less than those of Huaxia’s four National Doctors. Even he was at a loss with the "Man-Eating Flower" poison afflicting his wife. How could Fang Bai, a mere intern from a medical college in the mundane world, be of any help? "I have also encountered a Master from the hidden world, and that Master taught me some medical skills, which might be of use to Auntie." Fang Bai said with a serious face. Qiu Zhan, growing a bit impatient, waved his hand and said, "I appreciate the kind gesture, go get some rest." Fang Bai, feeling helpless, glanced at the tearful Mingyue and then turned to enter his own room. After washing up and changing into clean clothes, Fang Bai sat on the bed fiddling with the Five Elements Acupuncture Set, occasionally overhearing the conversation between Qiu Zhan and his daughter Mingyue outside, Through their conversation, Fang Bai learned that Qiu Yuzhi had fainted earlier, and although she had regained consciousness after taking a medicinal concoction made by Qiu Zhan, her condition seemed dire. In the conversation, Qiu Zhan frankly told his daughter that Qiu Yuzhi might not live much longer. He advised Mingyue to stop going for extra lessons and to stay by her mother’s side, to accompany her through her final days. Mingyue kept weeping, blaming herself, saying she had always done things that upset her mother. If her mother’s health was declining because of her, she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life should her mother pass away. Hearing their conversation, Fang Bai could only sigh. He had given Qiu Zhan a chance to accept his help, but since Qiu Zhan was unwilling, it simply meant that their fates did not align.
