The Great Medical Saint

Kasia asked, "Are you actually here for medical treatment from Renae?"

"Renae?" Matthew thought, looking completely confused. He had come here because Ansel's information indicated that the successor of the Afflictan Sect from the eight medical sects was in this village. However, the person was supposed to have the last name Payne. Matthew wondered how it had become Brown and why she was now a widow.

He could only force a smile and replied, "Well, none of the doctors in the city could help, so I thought I'd give her a try. Maybe she has an alternative treatment."

Kasia shook her head slightly, clearly not believing Matthew. She told him, "Go further in. Her house is the one with a telephone pole at the entrance and has a banner that says 'Doctor with a Heart of Gold' on it." Matthew nodded. He got into the car and drove further into the village.

Seeing him leave, Kasia pursed her lips and said, "He seems so young and impressive, yet he has a thing for widows?"

A woman next to her, who was scrolling through her phone, looked up and said, "You don't get it. Some people just have a thing for this. I've been seeing it a lot on my feed these past few days."

"A female broadcaster whose husband had passed away became extremely popular. The comments included some inside jokes that I didn't get at first. But eventually, I realized they were about a preference for widows. "Lately, it seems like young people are really into widows. It might be a trend that's been popular for the past couple of years."

Meanwhile, the car stopped next to the telephone pole. Matthew got out and looked up at the sign above the door, which read "Doctor with a Heart of Gold".

The gate was open, and faint noises of arguments drifted from the yard. Matthew walked in, followed closely by Trevor, who was dressed in a short-sleeve shirt, long pants, and sneakers.

Despite his casual attire, Trevor's walking posture still had a military bearing, making him look somewhat out of place without his uniform.

As Matthew entered the yard, he saw that people inside the house were arguing.noveldrama

Inside the room, Renae, a woman in her 30s with a charming appearance and smooth skin, was dressed in short sleeves and long pants. Despite her casual attire, her figure was strikingly noticeable. The fabric of her short sleeves was stretched tight, almost as if it might tear. However, she was furious at that moment. "Ted Powell, what do you want?"

Ted replied with a smile, "Renae, I've been coming here for three years. Even if you have a heart of stone, I should have won you over by now. It's time for us to take things to the next level."

Renae replied coldly, "I'm just your doctor. I've told you before, it's never going to happen between us."

In her hand, Renae held a needle with a drop of crimson on its tip, and it looked different from the typical ones.

It was thicker than a typical silver

needle and shorter in length. It was about the size of a pinky finger and had a triangular tip. At that moment, the tip of the three-edged needle was stained with blood.

At the doorway, Matthew looked at the silver needle Renae was holding with surprise. That was the most distinctive three-edged needle of the Afflictan Sect.

Most doctors used only one type of needle, known as a filiform needle. Depending on the material, some used silver needles, while others used gold needles. However, doctors from the Afflictan Sect had an additional type of needle, which was the three-edged needle.

The Afflictan Sect's most distinctive treatment was bloodletting. The three-edged needle was used to prick acupuncture points, drawing out a few drops of fresh blood.

Although this method seemed highly unconventional and unbelievable it was said to be effective in treating illnesses. That's why it was

associated with the Afflictan Sect.

One of the Afflictan Sect's most famous techniques was the 13 Phantom Needles.

It was said that even if a patient's soul had crossed into the afterlife, performing a 13-needle insertion could still bring them back to life.
