Chapter 1936 - 2035: So Arrogant?
Chapter 1936: Chapter 2035: So Arrogant?
Han Yan had previously only briefly mentioned Gao Weihu’s condition and had not brought up Wu Zhou’s diagnosis results. One reason was to avoid influencing their judgment, and another was somewhat to test them. In the end, their judgment was remarkably similar to that of Wu Zhou: one thought it was an injury, the other believed it was poisoning.
This suggests that Gu Qingyang did not exaggerate when praising their medical skills. Indeed, these two had some expertise in medicine, which was quite a pleasant surprise for Han Yan.
In the reconstruction of Huayu City, talent in various fields was needed, and medical expertise was indispensable. After all, with a population of tens of thousands in the city, which continues to grow, the priests are a minority, and the vast majority are ordinary citizens who cannot avoid sickness, aging, and death. The addition of these two medical families could be of great help.
"Family Head Gu, do you have any insights?" Han Yan asked Gu Qingyang again.
"Master Priest, you give me too much credit. My medical skills are far inferior to those of Tang Family Master and Pang Family Head, so I don’t have any great insights. My opinion is just the same as theirs, and even more ambiguous," Gu Qingyang chuckled, admitting his medical skills couldn’t compare to Tang Feng, yet showing no embarrassment.
Beside them, Wu Zhou both snorted coldly together.
Although they were resentfully and helplessly brought to Huayu City by Gao Jien due to their lack of strength, when it comes to medicine, they held their own pride and paid no heed to Tang Feng’s show of expertise.
The conclusion Tang Feng reached was something they had already diagnosed long ago; there was no need for them to waste words.
"Do you Family Heads have any treatment methods?" Han Yan asked Gu Qingyang and the others, ignoring Wu Zhou.
"Well... let us discuss this," Gu Qingyang and the others hesitated and replied.
A human life was on the line, so they dared not make rash decisions.
They moved to the side and discussed the matter carefully, sometimes even breaking into argument, becoming red-faced with agitation as time went on.
While they were discussing, Han Yan also extended a finger and felt for Gao Weihu’s pulse. With a probe of divine sense, Han Yan quickly discovered a strange force coiling deep in Gao Weihu’s mental state like a venomous serpent, incessantly corroding and devouring his Divine Thought Power.
This force was somewhat like the power of Law, but altogether different from the Law power Han Yan was familiar with. It seemed to be a poison, yet carried a certain spiritual charm.
No wonder the on-site Medical Masters had divergent views, unable to determine the true nature of Gao Weihu’s injury. Even Han Yan couldn’t ascertain whether this force was left by the priest temple or caused by poison.
While Han Yan was pondering without a solution, Gu Qingyang and the others finally concluded their discussion, which took them more than an hour.
"Master Priest, after much deliberation, we believe that to heal Lord Gao, it is essential to cleanse the force or poison from his mental state. However, since we aren’t even certain of what it truly is, removing it becomes naturally difficult.
If we act rashly and make the slightest error, it might trigger a backlash from that force, which could endanger Lord Gao’s life," Gu Qingyang said solemnly.
"Then what should be done?" Han Yan withdrew her hand and asked.
"We can’t think of any solutions. As per our discussion, we might only try sealing his Divine Soul and then slowly find a way, but it likely won’t last long," said the Tang Family Master.
"Aren’t there any other methods?" Han Yan asked disappointedly.
Based on the diagnosis and treatment methods proposed by Tang Feng, although their medical attainments were indeed impressive, they were actually not much different from Wu Zhou.
"Other methods... there is one. We’ve discussed that the force within Lord Gao’s mental state, being neither akin to Law power nor common poison, could be a blend of both. Regardless, this force seems significantly different from our Divine Continent’s Law power or poisons, and appears suppressed by the Heaven and Earth Rules, so maybe it’s not as terrifying as we imagined.
If we could somehow unleash an overwhelming force to swiftly absorb or neutralize it, Lord Gao’s condition would naturally heal, but..." Pang Family Head hesitated.
"Is it that simple!" Han Yan exclaimed in surprise.
When Han Yan first detected the strange force in Gao Weihu’s mental state, she thought that perhaps with her Heavenly Heart Technique, capable of absorbing the power of all things for her own use, she might directly absorb and neutralize this force. If not, she could attempt to use Chaos Heavenly Fire to devour it. However, given that this was the Divine Continent, where medical practices differ despite their similarities, she dared not assert whether her method would work.
Yet, the solution Tang Feng came up with coincided with her thinking.
As Han Yan spoke, she noticed surprised expressions on the faces of Tang Feng and the others, and their gazes towards her turned somewhat peculiar.
"Arrogant, truly arrogant!"
"Even we only consider it speculative, yet how dare you call it simple. Could it be that becoming a Hall Master at such a young age has made you arrogant and conceited, unaware of the vastness of the heavens?" Wu Zhou scolded angrily.
Having been forcibly brought to Huayu City, their resentment was bottled up, and now they found an outlet, seizing the opportunity to vent their grievances.
"And who are these two old gentlemen to dare to deprecate our Master Priest!" Tang Feng’s expression darkened simultaneously, asking with an unfriendly tone.
Han Yan’s words merely surprised them but didn’t diminish their respect for her. They couldn’t tolerate outsiders disrespecting their Master Priest like this.
At this moment, Gao Weihu uttered a painful groan, his expression contorted in anguish.
Wu Zhou ignored the questioning and quickly took out golden needles, inserting them one by one into Gao Weihu’s essential meridians. Streaks of golden light flickered, like a golden river suspended in the air. Their fluid, artful technique was simply breathtaking.
Tang Feng and Gu Qingyang’s faces showed signs of shock, occasionally letting out gasps of admiration.
Hearing their exclamations, Wu Zhou’s pride grew more pronounced, shedding the despondency from when they were constrained by Gao Jien.
Finally, after the acupuncture was complete, Gao Weihu was covered from head to toe with golden needles, his expression returned to normal, and he fell back into a deep sleep.
