Strongest Medical Saint

Cai Zhi's face was full of rage.

He wished he could slap Zhao Yi across the face and fly him away, couldn't he just shut his damned mouth?

Who was Shen Feng?

This was an Immortal with Heaven-reaching Innate Ability! It had been unexpectedly smooth for Cai Zhi to invite the master to the Cai Family home.

With the master accompanying him back to the Cai Family, he wasn't the least bit worried about his father anymore; he had been pondering how to establish a connection with the master!

Who would have thought that starting with Cai Juanlan, everyone had failed to show the proper attitude, he felt extremely guilty: "From now on, anyone who dares to speak ill of the master, I will have them immediately thrown out of the residence."

"Remember, I said thrown out, not walk out, no exceptions."

Cai Zhi's gaze swept over Zhao Yi, Sun Dongquan, Cai Chunlong, and Cai Juanlan in turn.

Cai Heguang echoed, "Uncle is right. Anyone who dares to offend the master again, don't blame me, Cai Heguang, for not showing any mercy."

Besides glaring at Sun Dongquan and Zhao Yi, his gaze also passed over Cai Chunlong and Cai Juanlan.

Cai Heguang understood one principle in his heart.

What was the Cai Family before the master? It was absolutely insignificant. As long as he followed the master closely, even if he left the Cai Family, what of it? As long as the master was willing to make a move, he could help him establish a much stronger Cai Family in minutes.

A few more shadows crossed Cai Chunlong's face, he said he believed Cai Zhi, but Cai Zhi and Cai Heguang were acting too strangely.

Especially Cai Heguang, a collateral member of the Cai Family, even dared to talk to them like this?

In fact, what Cai Zhi and Cai Heguang did was all for the sake of Cai Chunlong and Cai Juanlan. If they accidentally offended the master, then the consequences would be unimaginable.

Cai Juanlan really couldn't understand why her second brother trusted this youngster so much? He didn't have three heads and six arms, after all! He just looked like an ordinary university freshman.

Cai Zhi and Cai Chunlong locked eyes.

After a moment, Cai Chunlong made a call, asking someone to come here and dig up the ground of the courtyard.

Understanding Cai Zhi well, Cai Chunlong chose not to turn against him.

Sun Dongquan and Zhao Yi's chests were about to explode with anger. Cai Zhi had quite a reputation in South Cloud's business circles, being known for keeping his word. If they really had to be thrown out of the old residence, this master-apprentice pair would lose all face.

Swallowing this anger, they could only wait for Shen Feng to make a fool of himself, waiting for his treatment to be completely ineffective.

Soon.

A group of people entered the courtyard, all holding shovels in their hands.

Cai Zhi asked, "Master, should we dig up the entire courtyard?"

Shen Feng nodded, "Yes, let them start the excavation!"

Upon hearing this, Cai Zhi immediately ordered the people, "Dig hard, dig earnestly, anyone who dares to slack off, don't even think about staying in South Cloud anymore."

These people also recognized Cai Zhi, and seeing that Cai Chunlong had no objections, they began to dig into the ground shovel by shovel.

Time slowly passed.

Nothing was unearthed from beneath the ground.

Sun Dongquan and Zhao Yi, the master-apprentice duo, watched coldly. This scene in front of them was simply a farce.

How could Cai Jigen's illness possibly be related to the ground in the yard?

Cai Chunlong's face showed impatience. How long would this excavation last? Could it be that they were supposed to keep digging indefinitely? Just as he was about to raise his questions—

"Ah!"

Only to hear a man who was digging into the ground let out a terrified scream, his words coming out garbled, "There are white bones, there are human bones under the ground."

Everyone's attention was drawn by his voice.

They saw a pile of white bones appear beneath the ground he had been excavating, amongst which a human skull was particularly conspicuous.

All of this was within Shen Feng's expectations. He said, "Dig, continue digging for me."

Upon seeing human bones unearthed from beneath the ground, Cai Chunlong, Sun Dong Quan, and the others' faces slightly changed. Could it be that Cai Jigen's illness was caused by a pile of white bones?

But, as they dug deeper,

Everyone except Shen Feng, who was calm and composed, fell silent.

They saw the number of white bones uncovered beneath the ground increasing. Once they could excavate no more bones, Shen Feng roughly estimated that at least seventy bodies had once been buried here.

And the deaths of these people were all extremely agonizing.

Shen Feng could tell that some were strangled to death with ropes; some were stabbed in the heart with sharp objects; some were buried alive beneath the ground...

These people were definitely murdered, harboring great resentment and malevolent energy before their deaths.

The deodorization beneath the ground was done very well; someone deliberately prevented the stench of decay from reaching the surface.

The ground beneath this courtyard could be described as a pit of corpses.

It was no wonder Yin Spirit Grass could grow normally; it was relying on the resentment and yin qi rising from the ground.

Cai Juanlan's face was extremely pale; she was the only woman present and was even trembling from fright.

Who had buried so many bodies in this courtyard?

Fortunately, having just been exposed to gore, Cai Zhi managed to swallow his saliva before asking, "Master, is my father's illness related to these white bones?"

Shen Feng nodded and said, "If you look closely at the skeletons beneath the ground, you'll see they all more or less leave behind some clues; they were all killed by someone, and some might even have been buried alive here."

"People who die a violent death are bound to harbor resentment in their final moments. Over time, with so many people dying together, the accumulated resentment and yin qi will only increase. Tell me, what good can come from living day in and day out in such an atmosphere?"

"How did this property come to be?"

Having seen the pit of corpses, Cai Chunlong's attitude had changed considerably, and he asked quite politely, "Master, this property used to belong to a military despot, and it was later purchased by my ancestors. It is said that the military despot was extremely brutal, and now it seems that all these people were killed by him."

"But why would he bury people here? Could it be a special hobby?"

Cai Zhi took up the conversation, "We've heard from our grandfather before. That military despot died inexplicably in his own room, and then our ancestors bought this property. Our ancestors made their fortune through tomb raiding, completely ignoring all taboos."

"That military despot also lived in this courtyard, and our ancestor died here as well. Looking back now, isn't all this coincidence a bit too much?"

Shen Feng didn't sense anything within the pit of corpses! It seemed very likely that it was merely a peculiar hobby of that military despot.

Sun Dong Quan and Zhao Yi kept changing expressions upon seeing so many white bones unearthed beneath the ground. How did Shen Feng know there were white bones underneath? Could Cai Lao's illness really be related to these bones? But wasn't that too far-fetched?

"Master, should these white bones be dealt with?" Cai Zhi couldn't help but ask.

Shen Feng shook his head and said, "Leave them here for now; these white bones are useful to me. I will handle them for you."

"Now that we know the root of the problem, next we can go see your father."
