“Alright then, since you understand your own ce.”


    At that moment, a middle-aged man stepped forward, eximing, “Jasmine! Reuben! I’m afraid your grandfather isn’t going to make it!”


    Anthony quickly inquired, “Where’s the old man? Please take me to him so I can assess his condition.”


    “He’s in his room at the back of the house. Follow me,” Reuben replied, moving ahead to guide Anthony and his granddaughter to the grandfather’s side.


    Jasmine urgently signaled for Charlie toe along with them.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    The group soon found themselves in an opulent, vintage bedroom at the rear of the house, where they saw a frail old man resting on a bed made of exquisite yellow rosewood.


    The old man appeared very weak, his face drawn, and his brows furrowed, suggesting he was in significant pain.


    Anthony quickly assessed the situation, saying, “The old man is in critical condition. Please allow my granddaughter and me to begin treatment right away.”


    “Dr. Simmons, please proceed with treating my grandfather!” Reuben urged.


    Anthony nodded but instead of treating the old man himself, he positioned himself at the bedside, signaling for the young woman to take the lead.


    The young girl ced a bag of silver needles on the bedside table before starting to insert the needles into the old man with precision.


    Her acupuncture skills were remarkable, likely surpassing those of seasoned physicians with decades of experience. This proficiency gave the Moore family confidence in her ability to treat their patriarch.


    Not only was the young girl strikingly beautiful and charming, but she also demonstrated great skill and attention to detail in her acupuncture practice.


    As a result, Charlie was deeply impressed by both her outer beauty and her inner qualities.


    He could easily recognize her expertise from the way she deftly handled the needles during the treatment.


    ording to the Apocalyptic Book, Taoism epasses five branches: mountain, medicine, life, phase, and divination.


    Within these branches, there is a cultivation of reiki that enhances the energy of the practitioner.


    At a nce, Charlie could tell that Anthony and his granddaughter were descendants of the “mountain” branch.


    This branch primarily focuses on medical skills. Practitioners start by learning the fundamentals of medicine before embarking on martial arts training, ultimately blending both disciplines.


    However, despite being practitioners of this lineage, Anthony and his granddaughter remained human with mortal limitations. All mortals can only harness a certain level of reiki.


    In contrast, Charlie had been reborn through the reincarnation of spiritual energy, which elevated his physical capabilities beyond those of an ordinary human.


    While the spiritual energy developed through Taoism may seem simr to the reiki within Charlie, a significant distinction exists between the two.


    In simpler terms, the difference can be likened to that between coal and diamond. Though both share simr origins, they are fundamentally different. Coal serves as a basic material with limited energy at a low cost, whereas diamonds possess immense energy and can be valued thousands of times more than coal.<fn28cf> Content originallyes from fι?dnοvel</fn28cf>


    Many practitioners from the five branches of Taoism spend their entire lives striving to cultivate their energy, often resulting in just a small amount of spiritual energy.


    With this minimal cultivation, they can extend their lives.


    However, it’s worth noting that ny-nine percent of Taoist disciples never manage to cultivate even a trace of spiritual energy before they pass away…<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
