Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

"That's right, I want to ask you, young sir, to see a patient. I hope you will agree to this request."

The old man appeared extremely humble at this moment, bowing deeply to Chen Tian.

Chen Tian didn't rush to agree upon seeing this, but instead asked with a smile, "Strange, you are known as 'Miraculous Hand of Rejuvenation,' a famous doctor of this era. How could there be a disease in this world that even you can't cure?"

Clearly, Chen Tian was mocking the arrogant words the old man had just spoken.

The old man seemed to have heard it too, and his face flushed red with shame. He said awkwardly, "I am ashamed, I am ashamed. This old man was momentarily beside himself. In fact, one is never too old to learn, and there are still many difficult and complicated diseases in this world that this old man cannot cope with, such as the hand injury of Wu the bodyguard just now, and the condition of my patient."

"Oh, is there really a disease in this world that even you, sir, are helpless with? That's a bit unbelievable, isn't it?" Chen Tian said, feigning surprise.

"Alas, it's embarrassing to say, but there really is. This old man has never heard of such a disease, so I have to ask for your help, young sir. If you are willing to lend a helping hand, then this old man would be willing to kneel down and thank you for your kindness."

As he spoke, the old man was about to kneel down to Chen Tian.

Fortunately, Chen Tian was quick-witted and quickly helped him up, saying with a wry smile, "Sir, what are you doing? Forget it, since that's the case, then I'll go take a look."

"Really? Thank you, young sir, thank you, young sir! Please come with me quickly."

Hearing Chen Tian's agreement, the old man seemed very excited. He immediately grabbed Chen Tian's sleeve and walked towards the carriage behind.

On the way, the old man told Chen Tian that the sick person was his master, a wealthy merchant. If Chen Tian could cure the illness, then he would definitely be handsomely rewarded.

Chen Tian just smiled slightly upon hearing this and didn't take it to heart, because for him, money was already something external.

The two hurried along the way and finally arrived at a carriage at the very back of the convoy. This carriage looked ordinary from the outside, even more dilapidated than the other carriages. Obviously, this was intentional, so that people wouldn't notice that there was an important person inside.

However, what was strange was that the carriage was wrapped in thick cotton cloth, without leaving a single gap.

You should know that although it was late at night, it was the hottest period of the year, the 'Sanfu' days, so the temperature at night was also frighteningly high. The bodyguards were already sweating profusely in their cool, tight-fitting clothes, but why did the person inside the carriage have to cover it so tightly? Weren't they afraid of the heat?

"Your master is truly a person with peculiar tastes," Chen Tian suddenly joked, looking at the carriage covered with thick cotton blankets.

The old man smiled wryly after hearing this, "Alas, young sir, there are unspeakable reasons for all of this. You'll know later."

It was unknown what the person inside said. After putting down the curtain, the old man said to Chen Tian with a flattering smile, "My master has instructed that you, young sir, should see the patient immediately."

"Alright, I will do my best."

Chen Tian nodded, and then took a step to board the carriage.

"Ah... ah... Young sir, please come down!"

However, just as Chen Tian had just boarded the carriage, the old man pulled him down with a look of horror.

Chen Tian frowned upon seeing this and asked in confusion, "Aren't you here for treatment? What are you doing?"

"This..." The old man's eyes darted around, and after pondering for a while, he said, "Because my master's condition is special, he cannot be diagnosed face-to-face, so I hope you, young sir, can feel his pulse through the curtain."

"You have so many strange rules here," Chen Tian said with a shake of his head and a smile after hearing the old man's words. Then, he jumped down from the carriage again.

"Hehe, there's no way around it, please forgive me, young sir," the old man said with a smile. Then, he turned to the carriage and shouted inside, "Okay, master, please extend your hand."

As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain in front of the carriage began to shake, and then a palm stretched out from the gap.

However, when Chen Tian saw this palm, he was immediately taken aback, because the palm was incomparably white and tender. Even in the dark night, it glowed with a pure white light.

This was not a rough man's hand at all, it was clearly a woman's slender hand!

'Could it be that the one behind this carriage is a woman?' This thought immediately arose in Chen Tian's mind.

Out of curiosity, Chen Tian released a trace of spiritual sense and secretly drilled into the carriage. After scanning it, a look of 'as expected' appeared on his face.

There were three people in the carriage at this time, and all three of them were young girls.

Two of them were wearing ordinary plain gauze, with double buns tied on their heads, obviously two maids.

In the middle of these two maids was a woman of about twenty years old, with fair skin, beautiful appearance, and outstanding temperament, who should be their young lady.

However, what was surprising was that on this hot summer night, the young lady was covered with several layers of thick brocade quilts, constantly shivering, as if she was very afraid of the cold.

Seeing such a strange phenomenon, Chen Tian immediately retracted his spiritual sense, and then stared thoughtfully at the young lady's palm exposed outside the carriage.

After careful inspection, Chen Tian finally discovered more strange phenomena.

In the scorching environment around, this half of the arm that was stretched out was constantly emitting cold smoke like air conditioning.

And on a clump of weeds directly below the arm, a thick layer of frost was now frozen.

As the old man said, this young lady's illness was indeed too strange.

"Young sir, do you think my master's illness is still curable?" The old man couldn't help but ask, looking at Chen Tian's frowning expression, his face full of anxiety.

Chen Tian thought for a while, and then said in a deep voice, "It's still hard to say now, I'll make a decision after I take your master's pulse first."

As he spoke, Chen Tian stretched out three fingers and gently pressed them on the young lady's lotus-like wrist, and began to feel her pulse.

However, although he was feeling the pulse, Chen Tian was actually secretly separating a trace of spiritual power and entering the young lady's body to check her condition.

In this way, the grasp of the cause of the disease would be more accurate.

But just after Chen Tian checked for a while, he suddenly seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly retracted his hand, his eyes flashed, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
