"Who is the elder?" w.a.n.g Xiolun asked.
He happened to walk in the same direction towards the herb garden and saw that Duan Li was with an elder with white robes.
"This is Ju Zhianhu, a chief doctor from the royal palace. He is visiting me for a while." replied Duan Li.
Pu!
A chief doctor from the royal palace?!
"F-Forgive me for my rudeness! I am w.a.n.g Xiolun, a follower of the Lord Duan Li." he immediately bowed 90 degrees towards Ju Zhianhu.
Someone from the royal palace has an extremely high status, not to mention that it was the chief doctor himself!
That was a position two ranks below the Imperial doctor, before the General doctor!
What was a person with such an influence in the royal palace doing here?
"Don"t be too formal, at best while I"m here, my status would be a little bit similar to you." Ju Zhianhu chuckled out.
Eh?
"You are... similar to us?" replied w.a.n.g Xiolun, confused as to what the other party meant.
He can"t possibly be claiming that he was also a follower right? Only students are allowed to do that!
Noticing the peculiar look on w.a.n.g Xiolun"s face, Ju Zhianhu could only answered frankly.
"I"m one of the advisor for this party... as well as your Lord"s disciple!"
Pu!
w.a.n.g Xiolun"s lungs almost failed to function properly when he heard this at the moment.
He knows what an advisor were, although it was quite rare for somebody outside the academy to be one, it still exist nevertheless.
But for someone with the ranks of a chief doctor from the royal palace to claim that they were their Lord"s disciple?
They must be pranking me!
"Eh, the details are a little bit complicated, but yes, Ju Zhianhu is my disciple!" Duan Li said.
Pu!
Ahh! My heart! I could feel that my hearbeat was about to stop!
"Since you"re already here, this would be a lot better then. I was planning to call for Shen Murong, but I am afraid that guy would not like the idea of being used as a demonstration purposes!" he continued.
Demonstration purposes?
"What do you mean?" w.a.n.g Xiolun asked out warrily. By the sound of it though, it seemed like he was about to be experimented with!
"I"m thinking of imparting my personal method of healing the internal body to my disciple here. With a live body, it would be more practical and efficient! Furthermore, you are at the core formation realm and your body should be able to withstand it." Duan Li explained.
d.a.m.n it! It turns out I"m really going to be experimented with!
He was about to refuse, but seeing the chief doctor besides Duan Li eyeing at him intently, he dared not to reject. Thus, with gritted teeth, he forced himself to agree with it.
"Fine!"
Hearing this, Duan Li exhaled in relief.
"Don"t worry, with our capabilities, you won"t suffer the least bit. I"m just going to demonstrate the method and nothing else." Duan Li rea.s.sured him.
Thinking about it for a while, w.a.n.g Xiolun nodded.
What the other party just said makes sense to him. Since they were both versed in the arts of medicine, what could possibly go wrong in a demonstration?
"Even if we did make a mistake, rest a.s.sured, it would be minimal at best!" Ju Zhianhu added.
When w.a.n.g Xiolun heard this, he cursed his bad luck for encountering them here.
My kidney! I feel cold in my kidney!
...
Within a room inside the residence court, three men were sitting cross-legged on the floor.
w.a.n.g Xiolun was sitting in the middle, while Duan Li and Ju Zhianhu were sitting on the right and left respectively.
"Firstly, place your palm onto his left shoulder, while I will place mine onto his right shoulder. This is so that you could "see" how my Qi injection will flow inside his meridians and pathways. I"m sure you at least know about this." Duan Li explained out.
Ju Zhianhu nodded.
For a cultivator that practiced the art of medicine, by placing their palm onto the body of another, they would be able to feel accurately the reverberations of spiritual Qi inside one"s body that was being cycled consistenly.
This creates the sensation of being able to "see" the inner workings of the meridians and pathways within a living body!
Suddenly, Duan Li"s brows curled a bit as he discovered something startling.
"Eh? You have suffered quite a few traumas inside your body!" exclaimed Duan Li in surprise, as he ran a diagnosis onto w.a.n.g Xiolun"s internal state.
Hearing this, w.a.n.g Xiolun nodded slowly.
"En! That"s right. Two years ago, I encountered a 1 star rank monster when I was still at the middle stage of the Foundation establishment realm. I tried my best to flee from it and was successful. But ultimately, I still suffered quite a grievous injury in the end." w.a.n.g Xiolun sighed out, lamenting the tragedy that happened in the past.
"I see, with this injury... you should already know by now that the best you could achieve in your cultivation in this lifetime, would only be at the pinnacle stage of the core formation realm right?" asked Duan Li.
Exhaling deeply again, w.a.n.g Xiolun nodded and replied, "That"s right, it was hard to swallow the truth at first, but now, I had already come to terms with it!"
"That"s quite the mental resilience you got there. Most cultivators would despair if they had such an affliction like yours. Actually, this internal injuries within your body could be partially healed and you would be able to reach the Golden core realm in your lifetime, but since it has remained untreated for so long, there is no way it could be healed anymore!" Ju Zhianhu said as he shook his head in pity.
"Hais.. I only knew about how serious my internal injuries were after the yearly medical check-up conducted by the academy." w.a.n.g Xiolun said, his tone carried a hint of deep regret with it.
Hearing this, Duan Li could feel the tumultuous emotion within w.a.n.g Xiolun right now from the way the latter"s Qi pulsated. Even Ju Zhianhu shook his head once more.
Eventhough the other party had said that he had come into terms with it, what sort of cultivators could truly resign to a fate as such?
"Don"t be too down on yourself. While these internal injuries or trauma that had afflicted you couldn"t be healed by others, it would be a different story now that I am here!" Duan Li suddenly said.
This sentence of Duan Li jolted w.a.n.g Xiolun in surprise as the latter quickly turned his head towards Duan Li.
"Y-You... d-do you mean..?" he asked with a stuttering voice.
Duan Li nodded.
"That"s right, I am able to release you from this affliction that had plagued you for so long!" Duan Li said confidently.
When w.a.n.g Xiolun looked straight into the eyes of Duan Li that was full of clarity, he was convinced that the words spoken by the other party was devoid of lies.
"He really meant it?" w.a.n.g Xiolun thought to himself, subconsciously clenching his fists tight in agitation, the hope that had long vanished from him could now be finally seen once more!
Even Ju Zhianhu was skeptical with what Duan Li had just said at first. But looking at that confident expression of the other party, it seems like the latter could really just be able to do it when no one else can!
If its truly possible, then he would be the first doctor to witness such a miracle!
Gritting his teeth, w.a.n.g Xiolun turned his body towards Duan Li, then he kowtowed with his forehead banged onto the floor.
Bang!
"Please help me, my Lord!" w.a.n.g Xiolun said, his voice quivering, full of emotions!
Even the way he addressed at Duan Li has now changed.
At first, he was only willing to become Duan Li"s follower because of Shen Lu. But now, due to Duan Li"s willingness to treat him, his heart underwent a starking change as he now viewed the other party with deep respect!
"H-Hey! There is no need to be like this! I have told you before, that I would not treat my followers unjustly! Quickly, sit straight now!" Duan Li hurriedly said to w.a.n.g Xiolun, evidently fl.u.s.tered with the sudden action of the other party.
"I will my Lord!" w.a.n.g Xiolun immediately sat upright once more.
"Okay, let me treat your affliction first before conducting a demonstration for my disciple. Ju Zhianhu, although this might be too advanced for you right now, just pay attention to my methods. Who knows if you could benefit from this somehow." Duan Li said as he looked at his disciple.
"This disciple understands!" Ju Zhianhu replied.
"En!" Duan Li then placed back his palm onto the right shoulder of w.a.n.g Xiolun.
Injecting his spiritual Qi, he made a second diagnosis just to be safe and not let out anything else.
"So, there are a total of 36 meridian channels that was being blocked, most of them had deteriorated after remaining stagnated for so long. About 112 pathways ruptured and..."
...
"W-What a terrifying level of Sonar Qi! To think that just a single injection could reveal all the peculiarities just like that!" Ju Zhianhu commented, feeling absolutely amazed.
This was also the first time that he saw Duan Li in action personally. Previously, the other party had only guided him and even that was already so formidable to him.
After a few breaths, Duan Li spoke out.
"I will begin the treatment now. It will hurt a little bit, but when this is over, your affliction would be as good as just another bad dream for you!"
w.a.n.g Xiolun nodded as he prepared himself mentally.
"I will even risk my life if this accursed affliction of mine could be treated!" he thought to himself.
