Chapter 2193  Helping

More people began filling the streets, and one could even see dawn approaching in the east now. The sun would rise at any time.

Alex waited once again as people didn't immediately come to his place. Perhaps it was because of his age or perhaps because of his setup. They would rather go to people that appeared richer instead of coming to him.

He supposed he couldn't fault them for it. If he were a patient, he would go for someone who seemed richer as well. After all, alchemists and healers were always rich from their profession, so it would be wise to imagine that the rich ones were most likely good at what they did.

More people filled the streets and Alex got his second patient of the day just as the sun began rising.

It was someone in the Mind Tempering realm, complaining about a mild headache that he had been getting for the major part of a year now.

Alex frowned upon hearing the man's issue and began asking him questions to learn some more about this headache. The man was a cultivator, so he rarely ate. He had begun his cultivation journey 5 years ago after they found out his son could cultivate.

During the testing, it was also accidentally revealed that he could cultivate as well, so he had begun too. However, he was already quite old, so he didn't have the talent that youths seemed to have for cultivation. He also needed to take care of his family, so he couldn't entirely focus on his cultivation, which was why it was so slow.

"It's been happening for more than half a year?" Alex asked. "And you didn't find a healer before this?"

The man gave an awkward laugh. "I was a little busy and thought it would go away on its own," he said. "If it didn't, I knew the festival was upcoming soon, so I just waited for it."

"You should take better care of your health," he said and took the man's wrist, testing his body. A cultivator getting constant headaches only had so many reasons.

It was most likely the issue of a cultivation technique that didn't fit him, some sort of Intent or spiritual attack being driven toward him constantly, and… n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Found it," Alex said. "You indeed have a parasite in your brain."

The man's eyes widened in horror. "P-p-parasite? In my brain?" he asked.

Alex nodded.

"Is it bad?" he asked.

"It's chewing through your brain and is on its way to destroying your brain completely. Give it another year and you will die."

The man freaked out upon hearing this piece of info. He began hyperventilating, wondering if he was going to die. "I-is there a cure?" he asked.

Alex sighed. "This is why you should go to a healer immediately if you notice something wrong with your body. Luckily for you, there is a cure. But there may not be one some other time. If you find something wrong, go find a doctor."

The man nodded vigorously. "I-I will," he said. "What do I do now?"

Alex pulled out a pill and handed it over. "Eat it," he said.

The man took the pill and looked at it for a moment. "What… what is this?" he asked.

"A pill to regrow the part of your brain you've lost," Alex said. "Or do you not want it?"

"No, no, I want it," the man said. "And… the parasite?"

 "Already dead," Alex said. "The remains should come out of your body on its own soon. Eat the pill and it will heal the rest."

The man's eyes widened slightly. "Oh, it's already dead? I will eat it then."

He took the pill and ate it. Within moments, he could feel the difference. The headache that had been bugging him for the past couple of months was gone at once. "Thank you so much, senior," the man said. "You have helped rid me of this pain."

Alex nodded. "You must've eaten some wild fruit to gain this parasite. Don't eat just anything without checking it thoroughly next time. These parasites love to sit around in these fruits."

"Oh!" the man remembered what he had eaten. A fruit to help him break through to the Mind Tempering realm. It was something he had bought from a local fruit vendor, who he believed did not recognize had gotten a special fruit among the regular ones.

"And I thought I was getting a good deal there," the man said softly. "I will do as you say, senior."

He thanked Alex and walked away.

Alex leaned back against his chair, having helped another man. He waited for a while, but no one came to his table. Everyone went toward the older people and the ones that already had people queuing up for them.

A third person arrived at Alex's table a while later. Alex looked toward the third man and was about to greet him, but the man didn't acknowledge him at all.

Instead, he stood next to the table, doing nothing. Alex looked at him with a bit of a confused frown. He was an Immortal cultivator, so he couldn't be just anybody. But then it did nothing to explain why he was there.

"Can I help you?" Alex asked the man.

"Oh no," the man said. "I'm just resting. Don't mind me."

He turned away and Alex didn't know what else to say. He wondered what the man was trying to do. Was he here to sabotage his work? He would have to be careful.

He waited for a while and a female Saint came by with her own issue. Her cultivation speed was slowing down. That would be normal as one progressed in their cultivation, but the speed had decreased way too much these past few years.

She had tried consuming pills to help her issue, but it hadn't worked. So, she had come seeking help.

Alex checked the woman's body for a bit and immediately recognized the cause. "It's a Metal imbalance," he said. "Your Metal Spiritual Root is making it so that your Qi is always filled with Metal element and it is causing parts of your meridians to shrink up after contact."

"You must have a Metal cultivation technique. Try changing it or at least force your spiritual root to produce less metal. That should help. In the meantime, here is a pill to restore your meridian back to how it should be."

He handed the pill over to the woman who took it immediately. She took a deep breath as the pill recovered her dried-up meridians. "Will changing my cultivation technique alone help me?" she asked.

"As long as there is less Metal in your Qi, it will work," Alex told her.

The woman thanked him and walked away. At the same time, the man standing next to him smiled and walked away as well.
