"Haha, since none of you dare, let , Liu Yu, try it!"
Just as everyone was hesitating, a loud laugh suddenly ca from a nearby wooden platform, drawing everyone's attention. Many people appeared to be deep in thought.
"Turns out it's the princely heir of the Liu Family, Liu Yu, no wonder he has such confidence!"
Many cultivators who were born and raised in Lushan City imdiately recognized the graceful young man. They had certainly gained so understanding of him.
Like other cities, Lushan City also has so powerful families, and the Liu Family is one of them. As the princely heir, Liu Yu, not even thirty years old, had reached Spiritual Rank Advanced in ridian Refining Technique, with cultivation at the Qi Seeking Realm Early Stage.
Such cultivation and ridian refining technique might not compare to the geniuses of top factions, but around the remote vicinity of Lushan City, they are indeed remarkable achievents. Therefore, Liu Yu's reputation is quite prominent.
Even the president of the ridian Refining Master Guild branch, Lu Liancheng, who was previously indifferent, also raised his head at this mont and nodded slightly at Liu Yu. It seems they had long been keeping an eye on this princely heir of the Liu Family.
At this mont, Liu Yu thoroughly enjoyed the attention. He cast a slightly proud glance at the crowd, then lifted the white cloth covering the patient on the wooden platform in front of him.
With Liu Yu stepping in, the surrounding ridian Refining Masters naturally backed away a few feet. Although so of them had higher cultivation than Liu Yu, they didn't want to offend him given his background.
"Young Master Liu Yu, do you know exactly what ailnt afflicts the person in front of you?"
One cultivator, who seed acquainted with Liu Yu, suddenly spoke up. He knew what the Liu Family's princely heir liked to hear, and asking like this further highlighted Liu Yu.
Indeed, Liu Yu was very pleased with that person's question. He felt a sense of superiority, then pointed at the man with closed eyes.
"If I'm not mistaken, this person looks emaciated and sallow, likely afflicted by a deadly poison called the 'Yellow Gallworm'. Moreover, the gallworm is still in his body, continuously consuming his liver and gall energy. If delayed by a day or two, it will be incurable!"
Liu Yu talked eloquently, with a strong sense of confidence in his tone. However, when he ntioned "Yellow Gallworm," the elders seated above exchanged glances, and a flash of light appeared in the eyes of branch president Lu Liancheng.
Compared to these inford elders of the ridian Refining Master Guild, among the onlookers, Yun Xiao's eyebrows slightly furrowed. With his knowledge, he surpassed Liu Yu by countless tis. Even in terms of theory, those powerful figures in the ridian Refining Master Guild couldn't compare to him.
Although Yun Xiao hadn't looked closely at the patient on the wooden platform in front of Liu Yu, just a glance from afar was enough for him to make his discovery. The symptoms indeed resembled those of the Yellow Gallworm, but so elents might be highly misleading.
"Yellow Gallworm?"
Apart from the few elders near Yun Xiao, everyone else firmly believed Liu Yu's words. Given his fa and proficiency in ridian refining, Liu Yu seed on the verge of taking the lead.
"A humble presentation!"
Liu Yu appeared greatly satisfied with the crowd's gaze, confident in his ridian refining technique. Since he identified the yellow gallworm, thods to treat its poison instantly flashed in his mind, and he was about to proceed.
"Wait!"
Just as everyone believed Liu Yu was about to be the first to pass today's selection, an untily voice suddenly ca from sowhere, startling everyone.
When they turned their gaze in the direction of the voice, they saw a middle-aged man with a dark complexion, whose face imdiately showed a disdainful expression.
Among these spiritual rank ridian refining masters, most were rely young n in their twenties or thirties. Suddenly, an older guy in his forties or fifties erged; naturally, they felt disdainful.
Moreover, this guy dared to interrupt as Young Master Liu Yu was about to make a move. Where did he get such confidence? Did this old fellow think Liu Yu's ridian refining skills were re empty fa?
"Old fellow, interrupting soone treating a patient, do you not understand the rules?"
The person who previously spoke seed eager to ingratiate himself with Liu Yu, speaking again without the slightest politeness, filled with a strong sense of ridicule.
"Old fellow?"
Catching the first use of this term, Yun Xiao was taken aback. However, he quickly realized his current disguise and didn't mind. Instead, he raised his gaze, fixing intently on the Liu Family's princely heir.
"Brother Liu Yu, wouldn't you like to take another look? Are you really sure he's poisoned by the Yellow Gallworm?"
Although unaware of why those old gentlen from the ridian Refining Master Guild branch didn't stop him, Yun Xiao felt compelled despite himself. Faced with such treatnt thods for saving lives, he harbored a heart of compassion.
As soon as these words were spoken, ordinary onlooking ridian Refining Masters hadn't reacted, but several elders from the upper chairs involuntarily turned their gaze towards Yun Xiao, seemingly carrying so special significance.
"Old man, do you know who this is? What right do you have to criticize Young Master Liu Yu?"
The person who had spoken earlier, seeing that Yun Xiao half ignored him, said this, and instantly, anger welled up within him. At this mont, he seed to have beco Liu Yu's spokesperson.
"Criticize?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Xiao finally shifted his gaze onto that person, gently shook his head, and said, "You're overthinking it. I'm just afraid that he, as an incompetent doctor, will harm others by killing soone while trying to heal, causing harm to all involved."
"You...what did you say?"
Liu Yu, who had initially not taken much notice, suddenly heard the phrase "incompetent doctor" and his forehead instantly bulged with veins. One must admit, Yun Xiao's soft-spoken words indeed had a significant impact.
"Who is that guy? Is he not afraid of offending the Liu family?"
"Seems to be called Yun Xing, no idea where he ca from?"
"At such an old age, he still participates in the ridian Refining Master Guild's disciple selection, he should just be an ordinary old man!"
"Heh, the eldest young master of the Liu family is not soone easy to deal with. This will be interesting!"
"..."
The sudden turn of events left the onlookers montarily forgetting about the selection process, instead treating the conflict here as a spectacle, knowing well that Liu Yu was not soone who would easily suffer a loss.
"How should I address you, sir?"
In the main hall of the ridian Refining Master branch, in front of the branch chairman and several elders, Liu Yu stifled his usual volatile temperant, asking in a somber voice.
"The na is Yun Xing, without any background, Young Master Liu need not have any concerns!"
With Yun Xiao's shrewdness, how could he not know what Liu Yu was plotting? Though his tone was calm, he was actually quite helpless, thinking how his one sentence could spark such a huge animosity?
In Yun Xiao's view, this was rely a kind-hearted reminder, but he clearly chose the wrong setting. Liu Yu was always an arrogant person, being reprimanded in front of so many people was nothing less than a slap to the face.
These young masters from major city families value face the most. Being accused of poor judgnt in such a public setting is indeed a severe provocation to the dignity of the Liu family's eldest young master.
"Yun Xing, is it? Good, I'll rember you!"
However, under these circumstances, Liu Yu certainly wouldn't physically attack Yun Xiao on the spot. Doing so would an the end of his Refining Cloud Mountain disciple selection journey.
Therefore, Liu Yu rely uttered a harsh line, then ignored Yun Xiao, slowly turning his head away, his right hand's five fingers already resting on the abdon of the withered man in front of him.
"Hey, are you all just going to watch?"
Seeing Liu Yu's actions, Yun Xiao frowned once again, but in the midst of Liu Yu's healing technique, if he forcibly intervened, it would break the rules. Thus, with a shift in his thoughts, he suddenly shouted towards so of the prominent figures seated above.
"Doesn't this guy fear being thrown out of the ridian Refining Master branch?"
As the crowd followed Yun Xiao's voice toward the source, their expressions were quite splendid, because this ti Yun Xiao was addressing the elders of the ridian Refining Master branch, including Lu Liancheng, who was sitting in the main seat.
One must know that these were significant figures in Lushan City, and even the Liu family, where Liu Yu belonged, wouldn't dare to provoke them lightly. Yet, this person nad Yun Xing acted so indifferent and bold, his courage was indeed extraordinary.
"Let's observe first!"
However, to the crowd's surprise, the elders of the ridian Refining Master branch didn't seem displeased with Yun Xing's sowhat rude words, especially Chairman Lu Liancheng, who waved his hand and replied, leaving everyone puzzled.
As a result, Liu Yu, who was in the midst of performing a technique, felt sowhat displeased from Lu Liancheng's words. He suddenly sensed a hint of unease.
But soon after, Liu Yu forcibly suppressed this unease. He had great confidence in his ridian Refining technique, and since Lu Liancheng hadn't ntioned anything wrong with his thods, why should he fear?
Thus in the next mont, under Yun Xiao's slightly furrowed brows, an invisible force erupted from Liu Yu's brow, then entered the abdon of the man in front of him, accompanying the sensing of his five fingers, he began his journey of healing and rescuing.
