The Capital's Dragon Doctor

Lin Feng took the documents on the medicinal herbs, glanced through them, and then waved a nearby servant over.

"Go, bring me a pen and some paper."

The servant quickly returned with the items and placed them in front of Lin Feng, who wrote out a prescription and handed it to Murong Yi Yun.

"Go fill this prescription. Remember to brew it with three bowls of water until it reduces to one. Take it once in the morning and once at night. Continue this for one week."

"Additionally, I'll write another prescription. You'll need to fill this one as well."

"Remember, you can't be careless. Don't use any harsh medicines; the focus must be on gentle nourishment," he instructed.

"Yes."

Murong Yi Yun carefully put the slip of paper away and replied earnestly.

Lin Feng said nothing more and turned to leave.

As he left, Murong Yi Yun studied the prescription in his hand, growing more astounded the longer he looked.

Since the Gu poison had flared up, he had consulted at least eighty famous doctors, if not a hundred, but he had never seen such a miraculous prescription.

"For someone so young to possess such incredible medical skills... it's truly a rare sight. I've never met such a monstrous talent in my entire life," Murong Yi Yun sighed with admiration.

Standing to the side, Murong Qian couldn't help but purse her lips. 'Why does it feel like Father is a bit biased toward Lin Feng?'

"He's certainly worthy of being the man Xiaoqian has her eye on."

A smile touched the corners of Murong Yi Yun's lips as he spoke.

His impression of this Lin Feng was quite good.

Not only were his medical skills superb, but he was also humble and cautious, not arrogant about his talents.

A young man like that was worth befriending, and even more so, respecting.

「Meanwhile, in a tea house not far from the manor.」

Two burly men dressed in black were gathered by a window.

"Boss, the Murong Clan seems to think highly of that kid. They just sent people out to welcome him," the burly man on the left said in a low voice.

The man on the right nodded. "I didn't expect the kid to have that kind of backing. But this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to succeed."

They were from the Dragon Soaring Mercenary Corps, and this time, they had come specifically for Lin Feng.

They had been ready to make their move, but they never expected someone to throw a wrench in the works.

After all, the Murong Family's power was so immense that even they were wary of it.

They were mercenaries who lived on the edge, excelling at decisive, ruthless slaughter. If necessary, they would eradicate their targets completely, root and stem.

But when faced with a powerful Hidden Clan, even they couldn't act without apprehension, no matter how confident they were.

"Let's go!"

In the end, they chose to give up for now, deciding to wait until Lin Feng left the Murong Clan before dealing with him.

"But Boss, our client sent word. They want to see results by tonight."

"Hmph. How could he rest easy if we keep dragging this out?"

The burly man in black sneered and led his men away.

...

「Meanwhile, inside the Murong Clan's main hall.」

Murong Yi Yun nodded with satisfaction. "Good. Mr. Lin, I will gather the things you need as quickly as possible. I hope you will do your utmost to cure me. The reward will not be an issue."

The Murong Clan was wealthy and powerful. Gathering a few dozen rare herbs would be a simple matter for them.

"Heh."

Lin Feng gave a faint smile and didn't refuse.

Afterward, he chatted with Murong Yi Yun for a little longer before saying his goodbyes.

'After all, it's getting late. Leaving now would be a bit abrupt.'

'Besides, I've already decided to build a good relationship with the Murong Family. I should show them some courtesy in these matters.'

'If I had just dropped off the prescription and left immediately, it would have looked really bad.'

After escorting Lin Feng to his guest room, Murong Yi Yun sat down in a chair, lost in thought.

He looked at Murong Qian and asked, "Xiaoqian, can that Mr. Lin really help me break this Gu poison?"

Murong Qian nodded. "Father, that Mr. Lin is indeed very capable. However, he didn't tell me the specifics, so I'm not sure how confident he is."

Murong Yi Yun took a deep breath, a determined light flashing in his eyes.

"Even if he fails, I won't have any regrets. I've lived long enough. This kind of existence is worse than death!"

On the other side, Lin Feng, having entered his guest room, leaned back on the sofa, a sharp glint passing through his eyes.

'This Gu poison... It seems the Murong Family has offended someone very troublesome.'

He narrowed his eyes.

...

「Night deepened.」

The entire manor grew quiet. In a certain courtyard of the Murong Family residence, two dark figures slipped in unnoticed.

"Which floor is that kid named Lin Feng staying on?"

"The fifth floor!"

"Good. Let's move!"

"Yes, sir!"

The two figures became blurs as they dashed off, reaching the fifth floor in the blink of an eye.

Although their speed was incredible, they made almost no sound and didn't attract anyone's attention.

Soon, the two arrived outside the door to Lin Feng's room.

BANG!

CRACK.

The door was broken open by the two of them simultaneously.

They tiptoed toward the bed.

"Who's there!"

Suddenly, a sharp shout echoed out. The room was brightly lit, and Lin Feng was sitting upright at a desk, his eyes lightly closed.

"Who are you?"

Lin Feng opened his eyes and stared at the two men before him, his gaze bone-chillingly cold.

The two were clearly stunned, seemingly not expecting that Lin Feng had already discovered them and was waiting!

"Attack!"

Without any hesitation, the two instantly unleashed astonishing Spiritual Power and charged at Lin Feng to kill him.

Lin Feng's eyebrow twitched. These two were obviously well-trained and coordinated seamlessly. Their combat strength far surpassed that of an ordinary Martial Artist.

But Lin Feng wasn't afraid in the slightest.

He stood up and threw a punch.

BOOM!

An immense force erupted, the air cracking from the impact. Both men were knocked back several steps.

"Huh? You've actually practiced a strange Cultivation Technique!"

A hint of astonishment flashed in the eyes of one of the burly men in black.

Both of them were experts at the Late-stage Innate Realm, yet they never imagined that even when working together, they would be repelled by a single punch from Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's performance astonished them. He had shattered their killing move with one punch and sent them both retreating.

"You're actually at the Peak of Late Stage Innate?" the burly man in black asked, frowning at Lin Feng.

"Mm, that's right. Since you know my strength, you still dare to attack. You've got quite some nerve," Lin Feng said slowly.

"Hmph! Just a mere Martial Artist from the Mortal Realm, and you dare act arrogant in front of us? Watch me tear that mouth of yours apart!" one of the large men in black roared.

SHING!

With a flick of his wrist, a dagger appeared in his hand, and he viciously stabbed at Lin Feng.

"What a pain."

Lin Feng shook his head, his expression calm, and slapped out with his palm.

SQUELCH!

Blood splattered. The dagger was instantly bent out of shape, and in the next moment, Lin Feng's right leg shot out in a fierce kick.
