822: Divine Physician Gu Xingchen
Healing the sick and saving lives was the inherent duty of a physician. When he was learning medicine under Gongsun Cang, Gongsun Cang had taught him that healing the sick and saving lives was a virtuous deed that accumulated merit.
If one saved enough people, it could not only change one's Luck but also cleanse the killing Qi on one's body, making Breakthroughs easier and preventing the appearance of a Heart Demon.
Over the next two days, Yang Lingchen had been treating patients at the Outer Court Trading Plaza, while also selling some Medicinal Pills.
Very quickly, his reputation as a divine doctor spread throughout the East Immortal Academy, and countless people came seeking his medical services.
Many of them were Inner Court Disciples, and even a few Elders had sought medical treatment from Yang Lingchen, praising his medical skills endlessly.
...
East Immortal Academy, Medical Immortal Pavilion.
An elderly man with white hair was earnestly studying an ancient scroll.
This person was none other than Gu Xingchen, the number one alchemy expert of the East Immortal Academy, and also a top-tier Divine Doctor.
Inside the Medical Immortal Pavilion, a young man wearing a luxurious blue brocade robe, with an extraordinary bearing and an upright posture, was standing there.
This person was the Third Prince of the Canglan Immortal Dynasty, Baili Tiance.
Standing beside Baili Tiance was his wife, the Princess Consort Su Yuexin.
"Your Highness, Third Prince, the Princess Consort's condition is somewhat special; I fear it will be very difficult for her to have offspring in the future," Gu Xingchen said in a deep voice.
"Divine Doctor Gu, is there really no other way?" Baili Tiance asked with a grave expression.
"I am truly powerless. The Princess Consort's pregnancy meridians suffered a heavy blow when she was young and have now completely atrophied. It will likely be impossible for her to conceive in this lifetime," Gu Xingchen said in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, it is fine even if we don't have children. As long as I can be with you, whether or not we have children is not important to me," Su Yuexin comforted him.
"It doesn't matter; as long as you are by my side, that is enough."
A trace of helplessness flashed in Baili Tiance's eyes, and he turned to look at Gu Xingchen, "Thank you for your hospitality, Divine Doctor Gu. This Junior should take his leave now."
"Then let me see you out," Gu Xingchen said.
"Then that would be troublesome for you!" Baili Tiance nodded.
Afterward, led by Gu Xingchen, the three of them flew toward the outside of the East Immortal Academy.
"Eh!"
Just as the three of them were flying over the Outer Court Trading Plaza, Baili Tiance's gaze was suddenly drawn to the sign written by Yang Lingchen.
"Divine Doctor Gu, could we go down and take a look?"
Baili Tiance did not fly down directly but turned to look at Gu Xingchen beside him. After all, the other party was the host here, and he still needed to show him some Face.
"Of course!" Gu Xingchen stroked his gray beard and said.
In his view, Baili Tiance was simply grasping at straws. An Outer Court Disciple would at most know some low-level medical skills; how could he possibly cure an ailment that even he, Gu Xingchen, could not treat?
"Then many thanks, Divine Doctor Gu. Yuexin, let's go down and take a look!" Baili Tiance said.
Since they were passing by, going down to take a look wouldn't cost him anything.
"Mm!" Su Yuexin nodded.
...
"Look quickly, Divine Doctor Gu is here!"
Yang Lingchen was treating a patient when suddenly a clamor arose from all around, and he quickly looked up.
He saw a young man with an extraordinary bearing and an incredibly beautiful woman walking over.
Following behind them was an elderly man with graying hair.
"This Medical Immortal brother, could you help me take a look?" Baili Tiance revealed a warm smile on his Face.
Yang Lingchen glanced at Baili Tiance and said, "Your body is very healthy; there are no problems at all!"
"Medical Immortal brother is indeed highly skilled. My body is indeed very healthy. May I trouble you to take a look at my wife?" Baili Tiance revealed a faint smile and then pulled Su Yuexin over.
Meanwhile, Gu Xingchen, standing to the side, stroked his gray beard and watched all this with a smile.
Yang Lingchen carefully examined Su Yuexin, and after a moment, he said, "Her body is also very healthy. If I must find a flaw, it is that her pregnancy meridians were injured by someone when she was young. If I am not mistaken, you do not have any offspring yet."
"Medical Immortal brother, do you have a way to cure it?" Baili Tiance's voice was excited, and his gaze held a hint of expectation.
At this moment, many of the onlookers cast their gaze toward Yang Lingchen.
Even Gu Xingchen, who had been calm and indifferent, flashed a look of surprise in his eyes. He had completely not expected that this small Outer Court Disciple could see Su Yuexin's ailment at a single glance.
"It can be cured, but wanting to heal her pregnancy meridians is not easy," Yang Lingchen said with a grave expression.
Treating a blocked pregnancy meridian was an easy task for Yang Lingchen, but he also knew that if he cured the other party too easily, they might not necessarily remember his kindness.
Moreover, judging from the other party's luxurious attire and the elderly man following behind, Yang Lingchen knew that this young man was definitely no ordinary person. If he could cure the other party, he might gain a massive opportunity, or even make the other party owe him a favor.
"Medical Immortal brother, as long as you can cure my wife, whatever request you make, I will agree to it," Baili Tiance's voice was slightly excited.
"There is no need to be nervous; healing the sick and saving lives is the duty of a physician."
Yang Lingchen put on a kind and benevolent expression, then looked at Su Yuexin and said, "Young lady, I need to use my Immortal Essence Power to check your body's meridians. I wonder if that is convenient?"
"Of course, thank you for your trouble, Little Medical Immortal," Su Yuexin smiled and nodded.
"I need to examine you now. Please relax your body and mind, and do not resist."
After Yang Lingchen finished speaking, he lightly pinched his index finger, and a white light instantly entered Su Yuexin's body.
About a quarter of an hour later, Yang Lingchen withdrew his Immortal Essence Power.
"How is it? Medical Immortal brother?" Baili Tiance asked hurriedly.
"The situation is not ideal, but it is not impossible to cure," Yang Lingchen said seriously.
"Little Fellow, are you sure you can cure it?" Gu Xingchen frowned slightly.
Although Yang Lingchen knew some medical skills, he did not believe that Yang Lingchen could cure Su Yuexin's pregnancy meridians. After all, Su Yuexin's pregnancy meridians had been atrophied for tens of thousands of years.
"This Junior can indeed cure it," Yang Lingchen said.
He could tell that this elderly man was clearly questioning him.
"Then tell me, how do you plan to cure her?" Gu Xingchen's sharp gaze fixed on Yang Lingchen.
"That is this Junior's own business, so please do not trouble yourself over it," Yang Lingchen said with a smile, neither humble nor pushy.
"Little Fellow, do you know who this old man is?" Seeing that Yang Lingchen dared not to give him Face, Gu Xingchen's expression turned serious.
"This Junior truly does not know. How about you introduce yourself?" Yang Lingchen said.
