185: Chapter 185 The Immortal Physician Feng Chun

"It seems the City Lord is grasping at straws; surely you can't just invite any doctor? He is so young, at most he is just an apprentice."

As soon as the old man spoke, everyone began to laugh heartily. Xiao Yuchen, the person in question, did not care at all; he sat there silently, as if accepting the other's words.

Just as that old man wanted to continue mocking him, two people came out from the inner hall: a middle-aged man and an old man.

Upon seeing the two, Xiao Yuchen frowned slightly because their strength was decent. The middle-aged man had reached the Early Stage of Soul Transformation; he should be the City Lord of Qingshan City.

And that old man had actually reached the Middle Stage of Void Refinement, even higher than his own cultivation base. Xiao Yuchen guessed that this person should be from the Qingyun Sword Sect and held a certain position in the Sect.

However, although Xiao Yuchen was currently at the Great Perfection of the Soul Formation Stage, he had reached the absolute peak of the Great Perfection of the Soul Formation Stage. With his many methods, even if facing someone at the Great Perfection of the Void Refinement Stage, he had the strength to fight.

The people present, seeing the City Lord come out, stood up one after another to salute, their attitudes very respectful.

"Everyone, please sit. Let me introduce you: this is Elder Mu Yunfeng of the Qingyun Sword Sect's Outer Court, Senior Mu, a powerhouse at the Middle Stage of Void Refinement."

Hearing the City Lord's words, everyone was obviously stunned, then they hurriedly saluted and greeted him. The Qingyun Sword Sect was one of the Four Great Sects of Xiyue Prefecture; they dared not be negligent.

"Everyone, no need to be polite, please sit."

Mu Yunfeng swept his gaze over the crowd, and his eyes suddenly stopped on Xiao Yuchen; his brows furrowed tightly.

He was at the Middle Stage of Void Refinement, yet he faintly detected a trace of danger from Xiao Yuchen, even though the person before him was clearly only at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

After being stunned for a moment, Mu Yunfeng came back to his senses and said to the crowd: "Everyone, this old man knows a little about Medical Skills. I have already examined Qingcheng. If this old man's guess is correct, Qingcheng has been poisoned by the potent poison of the Heavenly Poison Scorpion."

The poison of the Heavenly Poison Scorpion is a type of neurotoxin. If treated in time, this old man might have been able to clear the poison, but now the poison has penetrated deep into the internal organs. Although I can temporarily control it, I cannot cure it.

Although my cultivation base is higher than yours, my Medical Skills might not be as good as yours. I have already explained the situation; those who have the ability to cure this poison may stay, and those who cannot cure this poison may leave on their own."

After Mu Yunfeng finished speaking, the City Lord Dongfang Shuo added: "Thank you all very much for coming to treat my daughter. Even if you do not have the ability to cure her, I, Dongfang Shuo, am willing to give each person a reward of fifty Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

But my daughter's body is very weak right now. If you do not have the ability and forcibly treat my daughter, causing the poison in her body to spread, you will be severely punished by the City Lord's Mansion."

Hearing the words of the two, the people present calmed down a lot. Although curing the princess's illness would certainly allow them to befriend the City Lord's Mansion, they had to have the ability to do so.

Rather than taking the risk, it was better to leave now; getting fifty Low-Grade Spirit Stones was also not bad.

There were quite a few people who held this thought. There were originally over thirty people in the venue, but after understanding the princess's condition, most of them excused themselves and left. In the end, only three people remained, including Xiao Yuchen.

Watching everyone leave, Dongfang Shuo's heart was bleeding. It was not because he felt distressed about the Spirit Stones, but because the fewer people there were, the smaller the hope. Fortunately, three people remained in the end, so there was finally a glimmer of hope.

Dongfang Shuo knew those two old men; they were famous doctors in Qingshan City, so it was natural for them to stay. But when he saw Xiao Yuchen, he frowned slightly; he did not understand why such a young man would have such confidence.

Of course, one cannot judge a cultivator's age by their appearance, but in Qingshan City, could there really be an old monster who looked so young? Or was the other party really just young?

"This young friend looks very unfamiliar; are you from Qingshan City? I wonder at which medical clinic you practice? Do you really have the confidence to treat my daughter's illness?"

Out of curiosity about Xiao Yuchen, Dongfang Shuo asked three questions in a row.

"No, I also only recently traveled here and do not practice at any medical clinic here. I cannot guarantee I can cure the princess's illness, but there is a glimmer of hope, and at the very least, I will not let the princess's poison spread."

In order not to cause too much of a stir, Xiao Yuchen spoke very modestly. In fact, he possessed Top-tier Alchemy and top-tier Medical Skills; helping the princess clear the toxins in her body was absolutely no problem.

"Good, a confident young man like you is truly rare. I am willing to let you try," Dongfang Shuo praised.

"No rush. Someone just mocked me for being young; let him make a move first. I will be the last one, that will be fine."

Although Xiao Yuchen did not want to be too ostentatious, he had been mocked, and he had to fight for this bit of pride. The person who had just mocked him was right there in the venue.

Exposed by Xiao Yuchen in public, the old man also looked embarrassed. He stood up voluntarily and said: "Hmph! This is the first time I have seen such an arrogant brat. Since you dare not make a move, then I will go first."

The person speaking was exactly the old man who had just mocked Xiao Yuchen.

The old man's name was Medical Immortal Feng Chun, known by the people of Qingshan City as the Medical Immortal. It was said that he had mastered a miraculous acupuncture technique that could bring the dead back to life. It was precisely because of this that he was so arrogant.

Dongfang Shuo found it inconvenient to intervene in the small conflict between the two. Now both of them were his hope, and he did not want to offend either of them.

"Since Medical Immortal Feng is willing to go first, then please, Medical Immortal Feng, follow me to the inner hall."

With City Lord Dongfang and Mu Yunfeng here, Medical Immortal Feng Chun did not continue to argue with Xiao Yuchen and left with Dongfang Shuo.

Xiao Yuchen was not in a hurry. If the princess had just been poisoned, he only needed to take out an antidote pill, and the medicine would work immediately. But now the poison had penetrated deep into the internal organs, and the antidote pill could no longer fully exert its effect.

Even using acupuncture, it was fundamentally impossible to completely expel the Heavenly Poison Scorpion's poison from the body. Therefore, apart from him, the two people present were completely unable to clear the poison from the princess's body.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Medical Immortal Feng Chun walked out of the inner hall, dejected. Not only did he fail to cure the princess's illness, but when he used Qi to guide the needles, he instead let the poison flow into his own body, causing him to also be poisoned by the Heavenly Poison Scorpion.

Fortunately, it was only a small portion, and he had taken an antidote pill in time, so there was no major problem.

Medical Immortal Feng Chun failed, and Dongfang Shuo was also deeply struck. After all, by comparison, Medical Immortal Feng Chun had the greatest hope of curing his daughter, but now that hope was completely shattered.

After Medical Immortal Feng Chun came out, the other person was also called in. Ten minutes later, Dongfang Shuo came out from the back with a face full of anger, but he did not see the old man who had just gone in.

"Young friend, that quack just now actually stimulated the poison in my daughter's body. Now even Senior Mu cannot control it, so I ask you to lend a helping hand."

Dongfang Shuo cupped his hands in a salute towards Xiao Yuchen. Although Xiao Yuchen looked very young, he gave people a feeling of being unfathomable. Furthermore, Xiao Yuchen had been very calm from beginning to end, as if all of this was within his expectations.

Therefore, Dongfang Shuo was willing to let Xiao Yuchen try. If Xiao Yuchen also had no way, he would only be able to prepare for his daughter's funeral.

"No problem, please lead the way, City Lord." Xiao Yuchen remained calm.

"Hmph! Overestimating your own capabilities; didn't you see that the person who just went in didn't come out? Be careful that you lose your head." Medical Immortal Feng Chun was depressed and threatened him casually.
