Chapter 337: Chapter 242: The Change of People’s Hearts, Holy Order Useless_2
“Do you know dical skills, senior?” the sword-bearing man said with surprise.
Given the elder doctor’s profound and impenetrable cultivation, the dical skills he knew must be extraordinary.
“We should only delay slightly, let’s hurry over.”
“Senior, this way, please!”
The sword-bearing man cast one last look at the corpses of the Mo Hu siblings and imdiately moved forward.
Lu Qing, having retrieved his Longbow, followed his master closely behind.
...
The three of them quickly arrived at the inn, and upon entering and seeing all the dry corpses, both Lu Qing and the elder doctor were taken aback.
They knew these must be the martial artists who had been killed by the eagle-nosed old man using evil techniques.
They just hadn’t expected their deaths to be so tragic.
“Supre Elder!”
“Senior Yan!”
When Lu Qing and the others entered, the mbers of the Silver Moon Sect, who were sitting cross-legged on the ground healing their injuries, initially showed joy, but then beca cautious upon seeing Lu Qing and the elder doctor.
“This is Mr. Chen and his esteed disciple; step aside. Mr. Chen is well-versed in dical skills. Let him have a look at the condition of those disciples from the Palace of a Hundred Blossoms,” the sword-bearing man called out.
The mbers of the Silver Moon Sect were initially stunned, but they quickly moved aside to reveal several figures lying behind them.
These were a few young won in white garnts, all currently unconscious with their eyes tightly shut, their faces pale and haggard. Even their originally lustrous black hair had turned dry and white.
The elder doctor placed two fingers on the wrist of one of the won, and a trace of Innate True Qi softly probed into her to check her internal condition.
Quickly, the elder doctor’s expression beca serious.
As the sword-bearing man had said, the condition of these won was indeed very bad.
Their Qi-Blood was deficient, their pulses were weak, and the life force within them was nearly extinguished, truly on the verge of oil running out and lamps burning dry.
“How are these disciples from the Palace of a Hundred Blossoms doing, senior? Is there still hope to save them?” asked the Deputy Palace Master Liu of the Palace of a Hundred Blossoms carefully and respectfully.
Seeing even the Supre Elder of the Silver Moon Sect showing great respect toward the elder doctor, she naturally did not dare to neglect him.
“I will try my best,” said the elder doctor solemnly, taking out a pouch of needles and turning to Lu Qing, “Ah Qing, bring the dicine box. I need to use dicine.”
“Yes, Master.”
Lu Qing was originally using his Superpower to discreetly investigate everyone in the inn to prevent any malicious individuals from mixing in among them.
Just as he finished his investigation, he heard his master’s instruction.
He nodded, turned, and left the inn, using his movent technique to quickly go towards the direction where their carriage was parked.
Seeing his master’s serious expression, Lu Qing also slightly used the power of the Earth Elent Talisman in the acupoint between his eyebrows to increase his speed.
Thus, he quickly returned to their campsite.
“Young Master!”
“Brother!”
“Young Master Lu!”
Seeing Lu Qing return, Ma Gu and the others were overjoyed and crowded around him.
“Don’t ask about the situation yet. I’ll talk about it later. Uncle Ma, pack up imdiately and drive the carriage to the town. Master is there saving people and needs the dicine. I am going ahead. Little Yan, be good and don’t run around.”
Lu Qing swiftly interrupted the others who wanted to ask questions, hefted a dicine box on his back, and vanished again into the forest.
This left Ma Gu and the rest standing there, stunned.
“Uncle Ma, what do you think about this…”
At that mont, the chubby middle-aged man courteously said to Ma Gu.
“Just do as Young Master said. Since he has asked us to co over, it evidently ans that the danger in the town has been cleared. Let’s set off imdiately.”
Ma Gu thought for a bit and directly said.
“Alright, we’ll do as you say, Uncle Ma,” the chubby middle-aged man quickly replied.
Ma Gu gave him a curious look.
He had noticed that ever since he had climbed up to the treetop and co back down, his attitude had beco sowhat peculiar, appearing much more respectful and restrained.
Senior Xu had seen sothing atop the treetops earlier that altered his deanor so drastically.
Ma Gu speculated sowhat, but he didn’t point it out; instead, he signaled to Wei Zian to start packing up.
After grabbing the dicine box, Lu Qing swiftly returned to the inn.
“Master, I got the dicine box,” Lu Qing said as he handed over the dicine box.
The elder doctor received the dicine box, opened it, and took out a white Jade Bottle. After opening the stopper, he dropped a few drops of dical liquid into the mouths of several unconscious disciples from the Palace of a Hundred Blossoms.
Lu Qing recognized that the dicine his master was using was the precious life-saving dicine they had devised together, based on Earth Vein Spirit Liquid and Century-old Ginseng, supplented by other precious herbs.
When Mrs. Wei was critically ill and when Wei Zian was poisoned in an assassination attempt, it was this dicine that saved them from the brink of death.
After dropping in the life-saving spiritual dicine, the elder doctor began the acupuncture, using the power of the needles to stimulate the efficacy of the dicine.
It didn’t take long before the originally pale and wan faces of the Palace of a Hundred Blossoms disciples gained a bit of color.
Their breath, which had been as tenuous as a thread, also beca much steadier.
The surviving martial artists in the inn, all extraordinary in their own right, could tell—even in their weakened states—that the conditions of the disciples from the Palace of a Hundred Blossoms were visibly improving.
At the very least, they looked much better than their earlier corpse-like appearances.
“All right, their conditions have stabilized for now,” said the elder doctor softly.
Deputy Palace Master Liu of the Palace of a Hundred Blossoms, overjoyed at the news, imdiately went forward and gave a deep bow, saying, “Thank you, senior, for saving them. This great kindness will never be forgotten by all within the Palace of a Hundred Blossoms!”
“No need for such courtesy. While their lives are not in danger for now, their bodies are still very weak. They must not engage in combat and should quietly recuperate in the coming months. Rember this well,” the elder doctor advised warmly.
“I will heed the advice,” Deputy Palace Master Liu replied respectfully.
After removing the silver needles from the bodies of the several female disciples of the Palace of a Hundred Blossoms, the elder doctor surveyed his surroundings, pondered for a mont, and then said,
“I see that the Qi-Blood in many of your faces also appears unwell. If you don’t mind, let take your pulse and see how to adjust it.”
Hearing this, the eyes of the crowd flickered with hope.
They had all witnessed the dical skill of the elder doctor.
The condition of the female disciples of the Palace of a Hundred Blossoms had been dire—it wouldn’t have been an exaggeration to say they were half-stepped into the Underworld.
Yet, the elder doctor had saved them in a short period of ti.
To claim his dical prowess could bring the dying back to life wasn’t an exaggeration.
Previously, they had been drained of their essence by the Supre Elder of the Flowing Cloud Sect through an evil technique.
Though they had fortuitously survived, their bodies were severely depleted, and it was uncertain if they harbored any hidden injuries.
Now that such a divine doctor offered to check and adjust their conditions, how could they refuse?
They bowed respectfully one after another, “Thank you, senior!”
Seeing his master start to take pulses for others, Lu Qing also began to walk around the inn.
Soon, he stopped in front of a corpse.
Unlike the other withered corpses in the inn that had been drained dry, this corpse was still fresh.
It had been killed by a sword thrust through the brow, and its right shoulder seed unnaturally disrupted, as if the clavicle had been broken.
“This person seems to be a disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect. When I ca in, he was trying to take hostages from other fellows from Yunzhou in the inn, threatening , so I killed him with a single sword strike,” said the man with a sword who had been paying attention to Lu Qing, explaining the situation.
Lu Qing nodded and then asked, “What about the Sect Master of the Flowing Cloud Sect, senior? Didn’t you see him?”
“No,” the swordsman shook his head. “He received a warning from Mo Hu and escaped beforehand. At the ti, I was using my True Qi to treat those Palace of a Hundred Blossoms disciples, so I didn’t pursue him.”
He still felt sowhat frustrated as he spoke.
Mo Zhen’s cultivation was not low, having developed his Divine Soul Power, only a step away from the Innate Realm.
Now that he had escaped, if he were to step into the Innate Realm in the future, it would likely pose a significant threat—one from the shadows was particularly fearso.
Lu Qing saw the swordsman’s regret and said nothing.
Since he had let the man go himself, any consequences that occurred in the future would have to be borne by him alone.
Seeing Lu Qing’s silence, the swordsman hesitated for a few monts before finally asking,
“Young Master, was it you who killed Mo Hu?”
