After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

```

Ma Gensheng stood by, dumbfounded, never in his wildest dreams did he think someone on the brink of death could be cured just like that.

"This is impossible, I've also manipulated the three acupuncture points you checked just now, and they didn't have any effect," he said.

Chen Yu rolled up his sleeves, picked up the boy, and laid him flat on a millstone.

"That's because your skills are not yet up to par," Chen Yu said with a trace of disdain, then turned and walked over to the truck.

When he had returned, he had looked over the list of supplies, which included some medicinal herbs.

However, due to the hurried nature of this trip and the limited space on the truck, they were unable to bring back more medicinal herbs.

After rummaging through a few times, he took out some Chinese medicine powders and a few packets of Western medicine.

He crushed these items and mixed them together, then applied the mixture to the pus sores on the young man's body.

Indeed, the environment was to blame for the young man's condition.

Although the air here was good, certain places were too damp. Given the boy's inherently weak constitution and the long-term erosion by the damp, his body had accumulated too much phlegm. Coupled with the environmental influence, it caused an inflammation outbreak in his body.

All that was needed was to force the blocked toxins from his body and then restore his normal physiological cycle, and he could be cured.

Perhaps Ma Gensheng, during his diagnosis, only saw how severe the boy's illness was, failing to grasp the nature of the illness itself.

The onlookers stood there stunned; they never imagined Chen Yu's medical skills could be so profound.

Liu Zhongxiang seemed to have thought of something and grabbed Chen Yu's arm.

"Mr. Chen, Li Guokai also has two sick people in his home, with exactly the same condition. If you have time, you might want to take a look," he said.

Chen Yu was surprised; there had been a long-standing feud between Liu Zhongxiang and Li Guokai, and yet Liu Zhongxiang still showed concern for the other party.

After all, as a Taoist priest who came down from the mountains to save all beings, Liu Zhongxiang's attitude was understandable to Chen Yu.

Without saying much more, Chen Yu took some medicine and followed Liu Zhongxiang straight to Li Guokai's house.

Due to his ancestors, Li Guokai's family had accumulated who knows how many old belongings; there was even a warehouse full of items made entirely of gold.

It is said that this was what remained after selling off two warehouses full.

Upon arriving, Chen Yu immediately smelled a foul stench. He saw that a room was tightly sealed, with outsiders unable to discern the situation inside.

When Li Guokai heard the front door being pushed open, he hurried out.

Upon seeing Chen Yu, he became excited.

"Mr. Chen, you're back!"

Chen Yu simply smiled and nodded, then entered the house directly.

The situation on the beds made him frown; two middle-aged men lay there, barely alive, their bodies covered in sores, exactly like the young boy's condition.

But there were additional symptoms on these two men.

Chen Yu immediately became cautious. If one person showed these symptoms, it might be a special case, but the appearance of the same symptoms in so many people meant the disease was contagious.

However, when he had just treated the boy, he had checked all the symptoms and found nothing that was contagious.

Thus, it could only be due to environmental factors.

Taking a mask from the side, Chen Yu put it on and crouched beside one of the middle-aged men, grasping his pulse.

After a brief examination, his face suddenly changed drastically.

```

The man had a bizarre tumor in the left side of his abdomen.

It can't be called a tumor, nor a nodule; it seemed like some sort of living organism parasitizing the human body.

Its composition was somewhat like that of a lazurite, but it was riddled with a large quantity of fungus.

Chen Yu didn't hesitate; he quickly took out a silver needle and punctured the man's chest.

The treatment method was similar to that of the young boy earlier, first to expel the toxins from the body, and then to treat the sore.

After he had applied the medicinal powder on the man, he took a scalpel from the side and sliced through the man's abdominal cavity.

When he had been applying the medicine, he had already mixed in an anesthetic, so at this moment, the patient's body was completely anesthetized.

Before long, Chen Yu extracted a black object the size of a baby from the patient's body.

This thing was still wriggling when removed, a sight horrifying enough to make one's skin crawl.

Li Guokai's eyes were wide with shock.

"Mr. Chen, what on earth is this? How could it be in my cousin's stomach?"

Chen Yu held the dark mass for a while, observing it, but couldn't figure out what it was.

"Build a fire in the yard and burn this thing!"

Li Guokai did not dare to delay, quickly wrapping the object in plastic and taking it to the yard.

Chen Yu used the same method and extracted similar objects from another middle-aged man's stomach.

Only this time, he put a small piece into a test tube as a sample.

"Mr. Li, have you noticed any abnormalities with these two cousins lately? Or have they eaten anything strange?"

Li Guokai's eyebrows knotted in thought.

"I'm not sure about that, but lately, there's been someone in town selling lazurite meat; many people are scrambling to buy it."

"Lazurite meat!" Chen Yu was instantly alert, "Where is it sold? Take me there quickly!"

Without any hesitation, Li Guokai immediately led Chen Yu and Liu Zhongxiang to a shed at the back of the town.

There was a melon field in this place, and every summer, Old Man Wang would bring his son to sell melons here.

But this father and son were very shrewd, and extremely greedy. They not only set the price of watermelons very high but also demanded antiques in exchange.

One year when the town was short of water, only their watermelons could help the people of the town, but unexpectedly, they would rather let the watermelons rot in the field than bring them out to save people.

It was Liu Zhongxiang who, after much pleading, exchanged his own calligraphy and painting for fifty watermelons, which prevented a few extra deaths in the town.

When Chen Yu and his party arrived, the father and son were lying under the melon shed, comfortably eating roasted meat.

Watermelon is a seasonal fruit that is extremely inconvenient to transport.

The materials Chen Yu brought back were mostly what the town needed right now, and he wouldn't bring back such fruits.

It seemed that someone had already traded goods for watermelons with them.

"Old Man Wang!" Liu Zhongxiang stepped forward, "This is Mr. Chen from our village, a lifesaver. He has come to inquire about lazurite."

Old Man Wang did not even look up, stuffing a large piece of roasted meat into his mouth.

"If you want information, one piece of Gold per tidbit. If you're buying lazurite meat, then you need five antiques. It would be better if you could exchange materials, preferably medicinal herbs."

Chen Yu's mouth dropped open at the man's blatant greed!
