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

The old man already had some chronic illnesses, with half of his organs in a state of failure, some even having mutated.

The person responsible for the car accident had clearly intended to kill, aiming to leave the old man dead.

Therefore, apart from his ribs, other parts of the old man's body were also severely injured.

It was doubtful that any doctor in the world could heal him.

Chen Yu took a moment to regulate his breathing, then placed his palm on the old man's shoulder blade and gently moved it down along the gaps in the bones.

Before long, he had realigned the dislocated bones and pieced together the fractured ones.

All his movements were fluid, without any hesitation, leaving the onlookers dumbfounded.

The shop owner was even more astounded; she had run her store for many years and had never seen anyone with such masterful bone-setting skills.

"Young brother, I didn't know you were a doctor, had I known, I would have asked you to treat my husband as well."

Chen Yu didn't respond, simply concentrating on the bone-setting.

After all the bones were back in place, Chen Yu took out silver needles and inserted them into the old man's chest at specific acupoints.

Bones first, then flesh, followed by skin, Chen Yu followed this sequence to treat the old man's ailments.

The more critical the situation, with multiple diseases gathered in one body, the less one can afford to rush.

It had to be done bit by bit, otherwise it would backfire.

"Madam, could you please help me find some medicine?"

Chen Yu casually wrote a prescription and handed it over.

The shop owner's heart skipped a beat upon receiving the prescription.

"Sir, we have all the ingredients listed here, but some are quite precious, so I must ask for payment upfront."

Chen Yu looked towards the two young men beside him.

"Pay up, do you expect me to cover it?"

The two young men didn't dare to delay, hastily pulling out several gold notes and stuffing them into the shop owner's hand.

Anyone carrying gold notes must be of no ordinary status.

It wasn't something an average person could afford.

The material itself was made of Gold, exchangeable in banks all around the world.

It was, to say the least, extremely valuable.

The shop owner immediately became excited and quickly took out exactly five portions of the medicinal ingredients listed on the prescription.

Chen Yu hastily took one portion of the ingredients, ground it into powder, applied it to the old man's external wounds, and put the remaining four portions into a pot to boil.

"Remember to boil it down from twenty bowls to one and have the patient drink it; by tomorrow morning, his illness will be cured."

The two young men nodded repeatedly, then took out another gold note and handed it to Chen Yu.

Looking at the denomination, it was a whole one billion.

Chen Yu didn't fuss over it and simply pocketed the note, but as he was about to leave, the shop owner grabbed his arm.

"Sir, my husband has been bedridden for so many years, could you treat him as well? If you can cure him, I will be immensely grateful."

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow; frankly, he did not want to get too involved with the shop owner.

But she was no ordinary person, and the store she ran was even more extraordinary.

If he could leave behind some good karma, it might come in handy in the future.

Without saying much, Chen Yu followed the shop owner into another room.

On the bed lay a middle-aged man nearing forty whose skin was so dark that he looked almost like charcoal.

Chen Yu furrowed his brow as soon as he saw the man; he had never before encountered such a disease.

The man must have been stricken with an exceedingly rare poison that rapidly carbonized his body, turning it into what it was now.

Chen Yu carefully approached and gingerly touched the man's wrist, and indeed, one arm felt just like charcoal.

"Ling Ling, what kind of disease is this?"

Just a moment before, Chen Yu had searched through all the rare diseases in his mind but couldn't find anything; he had no choice but to ask the system.

[The patient's body contains a type of fungal spore that continuously transforms the elements of his body, carbonizing them.]

[To treat him, all the fungal spores must be removed.]

Chen Yu's brow tightened; with this kind of treatment method, he feared the man was beyond saving.

After regulating his breathing slightly, Chen Yu extended a finger to press on the man's forehead, sensing the changes in his body.

"Ma'am, your husband's condition is very serious. I can only prescribe him a medicine. With time, perhaps, his carbonized body might recover."

The innkeeper's wife immediately grew excited; in truth, she had no grand hopes, only wishing to restore her husband's body to normal.

Then she could treat her husband's disease on her own.

Chen Yu didn't say much else and left behind an easily accessible map in haste as he exited the door.

"Mr. Chen!" the innkeeper's wife suddenly called out, "I know who you are and what you are here for, but you cannot fathom the dangers of Dongming Gorge; please take care."

Chen Yu was taken aback, giving the innkeeper's wife a perplexed look.

Before he could respond, the innkeeper's wife had taken a map from her person and stuffed it into Chen Yu's hands.

"This map is unique in the world. Also, do not touch the Eternal Life Being, or you will suffer as much as my husband has."

Chen Yu's pupils dilated suddenly, and he looked visibly frightened.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

So it was that the man on the bed had become like this because he had come into contact with the Eternal Life Being.

Glancing at the map in his hands unwittingly, it appeared to be a map of an underground palace.

After taking a moment to regulate his breathing, Chen Yu put the map away.

"Thank you for the advice, I'll remember that."

When he returned to his room, he found that Jin Lingsu had arrived at some point, and there was a pile of lamb meat on the table.

"You're quite kind-hearted. Had it been me, I wouldn't bother with these fools."

Chen Yu spread his hands and then sat down beside her.

"Didn't you have enough to eat earlier? Why set out another basin?"

Jin Lingsu let out a soft sigh, "Eat up, we need to be in our best condition for the deep desert tomorrow."

Chen Yu, full of confusion, said, "Why not just bring more food later? Why eat so much now?"

Jin Lingsu swallowed the lamb meat in her mouth.

"Just listen to me, eat more. Otherwise, you'll regret it."

Chen Yu said no more and grabbed a big piece of lamb, tearing off a bite with relish.

Just then, a raucous noise suddenly came from downstairs, sounding like someone was causing trouble.

Chen Yu, holding a lamb leg, opened the window and leaned out.

Several fully armed men rushed into the shop, flipping over the two young men from earlier and attempted to take the old man away.

"Hey, don't you know whose turf this is? You dare to make trouble in my place; get out now or I'll chop you up and feed you to the camels," the innkeeper's wife's commanding voice startled the men.

However, they were not intimidated in the least and even pointed their weapons at the innkeeper's wife.
