However, opening up one’s secondary meridians was nearly impossible. An ordinary practitioner would have to take up years and even decades to open up just the secondary meridians in their arm.
Fortunately for William, he was no ordinary practitioner. He possessed the third eye and could look into his every tiny meridian, opening them up with perfect accuracy. Thus, the efficiency would naturally increase multi–folds,
Right then, he started with his right arm, opening up all the meridians to his fingertips. It’ll probably take me about one week to open up all the secondary meridians in one arm.
At the thought that he’d be gaining a Mr. Olympia arm in one week’s time, William suddenly didn’t know how to feel about it. That said, he drew his focus back to cultivating
The following day, someone knocked at his door not long after he showered and dressed. He answered the door and found it was none other than the gorgeous Elsa and a similarly stunning middle–aged lady.
The stunning lady looked to be only in her early thirties, precisely in her prime. However, she looked very sick and pallid. William thought she was probably actually a little over forty.
“This is my mom, Mr. William, Elsa hurriedly introduced.
The stunning lady dipped her head at William. “Thank you for saving Elsa yesterday, Mr. Barrett.”
“Don’t worry about it. Please come in!” William invited the mother and daughter into his living room and poured them some tea. Meanwhile, he glanced at the stunning lady’s condition and found that both her kidneys had failed; it was likely that she was surviving on dialysis. However, it wouldn’t work as well as natural kidneys would, after all. Her body would certainly fail her if she kept this up
“Mr. William, my mom is gravely sick. The doctors are already suggesting that she get a kidney transplant.” Elsa mumbled.
William didn’t respond to her immediately, for he was devising a treatment plan. It wasn’t that he couldn’t cure her, but that it would take a very long time, and he would have to insert needles all over her body. The process would inevitably be somewhat awkward.
Of course, Elsa wouldn’t know what was running through his mind. Seeing that he said nothing, she sighed under her breath. “It has long dawned on me that her sickness isn’t easy to cure.”
“Well, it’s not impossible.” William felt bad, seeing how piteous she looked. “It’s just that the treatment period’s a little long. It’ll take about a month or so, and during this time, she’d need to consume some rare and expensive medicinal herbs. It might cost a lot more than doing a kidney transplant.”
Upon hearing there was hope, Else kneeled before William with a thump and begged, “Mr. William, please, I will do anything to repay you if you can treat my mother!”
“Please don’t do this.” William helped the young woman up. “Don’t worry too much about money. I will try to prescribe more affordable herbs for you.”
“Thank you so much, Mr. Barrett. The stunning lady sighed under her breath. “I’m forever in your debt.”

as one wished, for a serious sickness two years ago left Colleen with two failed kidneys,
Now, the financial burden was solely on Elsa. She was burned out both physically and mentally, but she had to power through since Colleen was the only family she had.
As William synapathized with the mother and daughter, he performed acupuncture on Colleen, then used his Qi te open up her kidney meridian before finally letting her rest in the bedroom while Elsa looked after her.
Not long after Colleen went into the bedroom, Svenson called, saying he would be sending someone to bring him a few sets of clothes and also to prepare to meet his daughter at the cafe on the fifth floor half
an hour later.
William didn’t think it could get this troublesome, but since he had already promised Svenson, he could only agree to it.
Soon after, a fashionably dressed beauty with a bob cut came in with a rack of clothes. I’ve put together six sets of outfits for you to try, Mr. Barrett, said the beauty with a smile. “Why don’t you try it all and see which fits you the best?”
It was apparent the lady was a professional. William assumed she was Svenson’s personal assistant who happened to be good at styling.
At that, she gave William a white dress shirt, then proceeded to try each outfit before finally deciding on a mauve casual suit jacket and light gray casual pants.
At the bottom of the rack were a few drawers that contained various luxury pieces like ear studs, rings, and watches of sorts. At that, she picked a silver wristwatch and a platinum necklace for William.
Last were the leather shoes, neckties, and whatnot. He wouldn’t be surprised if he was told the getup least 400,000 Igneus Talons. For the first time, William got to experience how the rich dressed up.
After he was done changing, the bob beauty praised with a smile, “You look dashing. Mr. Barrett. The outfit suits you pretty well. Oh, I should style your hair too.”
After all that was done, William checked himself out in the mirror and thought he was seeing someone
else.
Moments later, the bob beauty handed William a folder, saying, “Mr. Barrett, this is Miss Reynes‘ profile and also the subject you’ll be chatting about. You can just make a mental note.”
William found a picture of a young woman with a crisp gaze, short hair, and dressed in white business. wear, giving people the impression that she was competent and concise. She was stunning, no argument there. However, the young woman was skinny, and her legs were thinner than Elsa’s.
This beauty was the patient he’d be seeing shortlySarah Reynes, Svenson’s daughter. It seemed that she had a rather androgynous temperament, which fitted the characteristics of someone with a unique physique.
It was also written that he would meet Sarah as a major client named William Barrett. A brief note of the subject they’d be talking about was added, but it was very brief. It seemed that he would have to assess Sarah’s illness in a matter of minutes.
After skimming through the information, he nodded. “Alright, I’m ready.”

“Please follow me. Mr. Barrett.”
The beauty led William to the cafe on the fifth floor. It was a classy place and relatively quiet during that period. He was brought to a private room filled with daffodils and a young woman with long hair playing soft, melodious piano pieces.
William skimmed through the menu and found that even the simplest cup of coffee cost 50 Talons. Hence, he ordered their most expensive coffee. Sure enough, it didn’t taste like any other coffee he had ever had
He waited about ten minutes before a fine, white silhouette strode toward him. It was none other than | Sarah.
“Mr. Barrett?” she asked with a smile and a folder in her hand.
At that. William stood and replied with a smile. “Miss Reynes.”
“Please, have a seat.”
She was concise as stated in her profile, for she placed the folder on the table right away. “This is our proposal, Mr. Barrett. Please have a look, she said with a smile.
However, William didn’t read it, for he wouldn’t understand a thing. At that, he smiled. “No rush, Miss Reynes. Are you feeling unwell? You don’t look so good.”
“Huh? No. I’m all good.” Sarah answered with stupefaction.
In the meantime, William scrutinized the young woman to find a thin layer of silver–white frost on the surface of her skin.
Turns out she has an iceberg physique. No wonder she can’t touch men!
With that, he immediately came clean to the young woman. I’m actually a doctor your father hired, and I’ve already figured out your condition. Would you like to know about it?”
I’m perfectly fine. I don’t need a doctor!” Sarah snapped as a hint of anger flashed across her eyes. and just as she got up to leave, William said, “You don’t actually hate men. What does, is your body. I have a cure for it. You can call me once you’ve made up your mind.”
However, the young woman walked away without looking back.
The next second, Svenson called to check in with William, who reported honestly.
Svenson was in seventh heaven when he heard that his precious daughter’s issue was curable, and he begged William to help while he would persuade Sarah to take up the treatment as soon as possible.
A few minutes later, the beauty with a bob appeared again, this time to hand him a check for 45,000 Talons, thanking him for his service.
William didn’t stand on ceremony either. He left after accepting the check. As for his outfit, he naturally had to return them.
When he returned to his suite, Elsa was waiting for him in the living room.
“I have to take a trip back to Halivaara today,” said iam. “You two can stay here while I’m away. I’ll treat

“It’s fine.” Elsa rejected at once. “The accommodation here is far too expensive. We’ll go home. You can let us know when you’ve returned.”
“Don’t worry about it. Someone else is paying the bill. Just stay.” Following that, he packed up some things and left after bidding the ladies goodbye.
Before leaving for Halivaara, he went to the hospital to check in with Ezekiel, who was doing much better now. The blood in his head had gradually been absorbed. However, the tumor was still there, and the elder would have to consume medicine long–term if he wanted to get rid of it.
“How is my grandfather doing, Mr. Barrett?” asked Genevieve, who had been staying in the hospital since day one.
“He can arrange to have the tumor surgically removed in a couple of days. You guys can also opt not to do. the surgery and take my prescription instead, but it’ll only work if you take it for three months straight.”
After Genevieve and Ezekiel exchanged a glance, the elder decided, “I have complete faith in you, Mr. Barrett. We choose your prescription!”
