Chapter 175: 【108】Fishing Toad Force, Golden Toad Skill_3
Nowadays, Wang Longhu has practiced Dark Force point-striking to his chest and back. The progress is not slow, but the injury to his arm naturally affects the meridians, delaying the progress of martial arts practice.
Seeing that Fifth Master said so, Wang Longhu could only nod in agreement.
"This way, Mr. Wang." Zheng Song's assistant immediately said respectfully.
Following the assistant, Wang Longhu arrived at the factory manager's office. Inside, a bald old monk was busy working. He was dressed in a white monk robe, wore a large string of Buddhist beads around his neck, and his eyebrows were long enough to reach the corners of his mouth, clearly resembling a learned monk.
"Master Wei, this is Mr. Wang. President Zheng would like to ask for your help to treat Mr. Wang's arm injury." The assistant said carefully.
The bald old monk before him was a wandering monk Zheng Song had encountered in recent years, highly skilled in medicine, and thus hired at a high cost as a private doctor.
But although he took the money, this old monk's temper wasn't very good. Aside from Zheng Song, he sometimes didn't even put on a good face for others. So even Zheng Song's personal assistant felt very anxious when talking to him.
"The arm injury, let me take a look." The old monk slowly walked over with a teacup in hand. The moment he saw Wang Longhu, his eyes instantly became sharp.
The strength of a martial artist can often be seen directly at a first glance in many aspects of their body.
For example, Ming Jin (Bright Force), an External Boxing martial artist must have firm muscles, and their muscles, bones, and skin clench like tightly twisted rope. Meanwhile, for a martial artist whose temples are swollen, it signifies advanced refinement of essence into energy.
Dark Force requires practicing the technique of striking pressure points with it. Thus, a martial artist's body is tempered, with smooth skin, vigor, and spirit filled; these are all indicative signs one can notice.
The old monk took one look at Wang Longhu and already knew that his level of Dark Force practice was at an upper intermediate level, with only head and groin away from the peak standard. Such talent in martial arts at such a young age could truly be described as extraordinary.
"The hand." The old monk picked up Wang Longhu's dislocated right arm and began taking his pulse at the wrist.
Wang Longhu immediately felt a stream of energy entering his body—this old monk was also a Dark Force martial artist.
It had to be said, there were indeed many capable people around Zheng Song, having actually recruited two masters.
"It's fortunate your meridians have been well tempered, otherwise, if this arm dislocation broke the associated tendons as well, your martial arts path would have ended here in this life. No immortal would bring it back. How did you get injured?"
After more than ten breaths, the old monk withdrew his Dark Force and slowly asked.
Wang Longhu then recounted the final move he used against Lu Pingshan, which made the old monk widen his eyes in amazement: "You really are ruthless. As far as I know, ordinary martial artists wouldn't dare do this. Even though at that time, breaking your bones could give you the first strike against Lu Pingshan, it would greatly reduce the strength of your attack. If you failed to kill Lu Pingshan, you'd be doomed."
"I didn't think too much at the time, just wanted to give it a try," Wang Longhu laughed.
"Young people indeed dare to fight. If it were that guy Old Five instead, he wouldn't possibly think of your tactic. But killing Lu Pingshan was indeed a good thing, solving this trouble; otherwise, it would have caused endless troubles."
The old monk placed his hand on Wang Longhu's arm and then prepared to help him reset the joints. Although Dark Force can temper muscles and internal organs, not being medically trained, a martial artist really can't perform a perfect bone setting.
If the bones are set incorrectly, it will leave a hidden ailment, causing misalignment of bones when attacking in the future, making it impossible to exert full strength.
It was precisely because of this that Wang Longhu, during his journey back from Hong Kong to the mainland, never thought of resetting his own bones, to avoid any adverse effects.
"Master Wei, I'll head out now." Seeing the old monk preparing to make a move, the assistant quickly said insightfully, turning to leave the office.
Working under Zheng Song, he naturally understood this old monk's habits, including not liking anyone to watch while treating someone.
Once only Wang Longhu and Master Wei were left in the room, Master Wei immediately began the bone setting.
With his kneading and pulling technique, few minutes later, Wang Longhu was covered in sweat as he moved his right arm around. Although it was still a bit painful, at least he regained control over his arm.
"Thank you, Master Wei." Wang Longhu was secretly pleased and quickly expressed his gratitude.
It's generally difficult to find such a skilled bone-setter in the civil domain, not even guaranteed when going to a hospital.
The medical expert by Zheng Song's side indeed brought Wang Longhu much convenience.
"I heard from that poison merchant Old Five, the Lu family secretly has some connection with the Heaven and Earth Alliance?" After helping Wang Longhu reset his bone, the old monk found a sofa to sit down on, asking leisurely.
"Yes, Lu Pingshan took some unknown drug from the Heaven and Earth Alliance, and experienced a huge physical transformation, just like in a science fiction movie," Wang Longhu immediately recounted what he saw.
Master Wei let out a long sigh: "To turn an old and rotten fellow into a muscular man, this has been the style of the Heaven and Earth Alliance's functional medicine in recent years. It seems they've completed their breakthrough in the trial phase and begun to produce clinical drugs. This will definitely stir a storm in the martial artist community."
"Functional medicine?" Wang Longhu was somewhat puzzled.
"You know about stimulants, right? They allow ordinary people to exert excessive strength and physical capabilities. You've heard of adrenaline, right? It lets people tap into their body's potential. Although there is no sale of such drugs on the market, that's because of strict control.
