The Donghai City First Hospital was busier than usual, especially the second floor. It was filled with people, including the Darby family members as well as all the wealthy families across the city.
The heart-breaking news had spread around the city yesterday. One had to admit that the Old Master Darby was one of the most important people in Donghai City. Once the news of his health got out, all the established families sent their men to visit him.
The news was true. Old Master Darby was ill. He was diagnosed with acute leukemia, and all his visitors felt bad for him while feeling confused. Everyone knew that Old Master Darby was a high ranking cultivator, and he had reached the level of Martial Marquis. How could he possibly get leukemia?
Everyone knew that the body of a cultivator was stronger than any ordinary man. The body’s immune system became stronger after cultivating. Although you could still get infected with the flu or fever, it was unlikely to get any major diseases like leukemia.
Especially someone like Old Master Darby, who was already a Martial Marquis; it was highly unlikely to get it. That's why everyone was confused and shocked by the news.
Meanwhile, Old Master Darby laid on the bed quietly inside the Executive Ward. Pipes and machines were
connected to his arms, and anyone could see they had lost some weight. He appeared much paler and weaker than before. He was surrounded by Florian, Yumi, Jackson, and Rebecca. The four of them seemed extremely worried and concerned. The ward was filled with dead silence.
Old Master Darby was suffering. Normally, a cultivator would not suffer an illness like this. He cultivated the Body Transformation Scripture for the past five years. The Shaolin Sect and the Wudang Sect wrote this scripture, and the teaching was leaning toward the Yang side of the body.
After five years of cultivating, he led his family to join the Eternal Life Palace Sect. Two days ago, Old Master Darby received a manual from the sect, the Flower Palm Manual. This manual was known for its evil practices, and upon receiving it, Old Master Darby could not wait to start studying it right away. Little did he know that he was making a deadly mistake.
The Body Transformation Scripture was a Yang practice, while the Flower Palm Manual was a Yin practice. The Yang and Yin practice could not be incorporated at the same time.
