Reuben sighed before he replied, “You don’t know why I am acting this way, Dr. Simmons. My sister has already been deceived a couple of times not too long ago.”
The expression on Jasmine’s face immediately changed before she blurted out, “Brother, what do you mean by that?”
Reuben asked, “Did I say anything wrong? I heard that you were also deceived by a so-called Feng Shui expert from Hong Kong who goes by the name Master Lennard. Did that happen or not?”
“You…” Jasmine felt very uncomfortable at this time.
She had to admit that the incident involving Master Lennard was indeed her own mistake. She really did not expect to be fooled by a swindler who came all the way from Hong Kong. Fortunately, Joe was present at that time, or she would have definitely been plagued with bad luck and bad fortune otherwise.
However, Reuben did not know about Joe’s abilities. Therefore, he dared to speak about Joe in this manner.
At this time, Reuben spoke to Joe again. “Young man, I don’t know how you’ve managed to deceive Jasmine or what you’ve said to her, but I’ll never allow you to lie to the Moore family. Dr. Simmons comes from three generations of famous doctors and you’re just a young man who probably doesn’t even know what you are doing. I advise you to leave as soon as possible instead of courting trouble for yourself!”
Jasmine had a very ugly expression on her face but there was no way for her to refute Reuben’s words. After all, Joe was very young indeed and it would be very difficult for her to convince others of his skills. In fact, she would not have believed Joe either if she had not seen and experienced Joe’s extraordinary skills for herself. Jasmine was afraid that she would cause a huge commotion if she were to continue talking and bragging about Joe’s Feng Shui skills at this time.
However, Joe remained calm and composed. He simply replied to Reuben with a smile on his face, “Hahaha. I’m sorry but please do not worry about someone like me. I’ll just be standing aside to watch how Dr. Simmons is going to save lives with his healing hands.”
”Alright then, since you know your own place.”
At this time, a middle-aged man stepped forward and said, “Jasmine! Reuben! It looks like your grandpa is not going to make it!”
Anthony quickly asked, “’Where’s the old man? Please lead me to him so I can take a look at his condition.”
“He’s in his room at the back of the house. Please follow me,” Reuben replied as he hurriedly walked ahead to lead Anthony and his granddaughter to his grandfather.
Jasmine hurriedly beckoned for Joe to follow behind them.
Everyone quickly arrived at a very luxurious and vintage bedroom at the back of the saw and they could see a dying old man lying on a bed on a bed frame made out of yellow rosewood.
The old man looked very haggard and his brows were tightly knitted together, as though he was enduring a great deal of pain.
Anthony quickly said, “The old man is in a very critical condition. Please allow my granddaughter and I to begin treatment immediately.”
Reuben hurriedly replied, “Dr. Simmons, please go ahead and treat my grandfather!”
Anthony nodded but instead of attending to the old man himself, he stood by the side of the bed as he beckoned for the young woman to take action.
The young girl placed a bag of silver needles on the bedside table before she started piercing the needles into the old man.
The young girl was very proficient in performing acupuncture and her skills would probably be better than any old physicians who had practiced medicine for more than twenty or thirty years. This was the reason why the members of the Moore family felt comfortable enough to allow her to perform the acupuncture on the old man.
The young girl was not only very beautiful and charming but was also very skilled and meticulous when performing acupuncture.
Hence, Joe was not only impressed with the young girl’s external beauty and appearance, but he was also very impressed with her inner qualities.
Joe could tell that the young girl was an expert from the way she handled the needles when she was treating the old man.
According to the Apocalyptic Book, there were five branches under Taoism, namely mountain, medicine, life, phase, and divination.
Under the cultivation of these five branches, there was some cultivation of reiki in the energy of the possessor.
At one glance, Joe could tell that Anthony and his granddaughter were the descendants of the word ‘mountain’.
The word ‘mountain’ was mainly based on medical skills. Firstly, they had to learn basic medicine before they started practicing martial arts. After that, their skills were based on a combination of medical and martial arts skills.
However, even if Anthony and his granddaughter were descendants and fellow practitioners, they were still human and had mortal bodies. All mortal bodies can only exert reiki.
Joe had been reborn through the reincarnation of spiritual energy and his physical body had already long surpassed that of a mortal.
Even though it seemed as though the spiritual energy cultivated under Taoism is only a little different from the reiki in Joe’s body, there is vast difference between the two.
In layman’s terms, the comparison is similar to the differences between coal and diamond. Even though both coal and diamond possess the same origins, they are completely different in nature. Coal can only be used as raw material with very limited energy at a low cost whereas diamonds draw a lot of energy and cost a thousand times more than coal itself.
Many descendants of the five branches of Taoism have tried to cultivate their energy throughout their entire lifetime but have only been able to cultivate nothing more than a little spiritual energy.
Once any of the descendants cultivated that little bit of spiritual energy, they would be able to prolong their own lives.
However, ninety nine percent of Taoist disciples would never be able to cultivate this spiritual energy even before they die…
”Thank you for your hard work, doctor,” the middle-aged man said immediately. After that, Reuben hurriedly invited Anthony and his granddaughter to sit and have a cup of tea.
After a short while, the young girl took the needles out before she took the tea cup in her hand and finished the cup of tea at one go.
Even though the young girl had only performed an acupuncture for the old man, the color on his face had already returned and his breathing was more even at this time.
Everyone in the Moore family was extremely happy.
The young girl was also very content at this time. After drinking the cup of tea, the young girl stared at Joe with a contemptuous expression on her face, as though telling him, “Look! I’ve already cured the old man.”
Joe did not say anything and he had a very straight expression on his face.
In fact, if her spiritual energy was very well-mastered, she would not be as tired as she would not need to put much effort into administering her skills at all.
However, Joe did not point it out because he did not want to mess with this young girl.
Joe turned around to look at the old man but after seeing the color on his face, he frowned immediately.
