Frankly, Zhang Wenyuan was just surreptitiously praising himself.
Fighting him was definitely out of the question. Being the direct disciple of the Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming, if soone could beat this youngster up, the expression on Old Man Shi Yehong’s face would surely be priceless. However, how powerful Zhang Wenyuan actually was, Ye Feng found difficult to gauge.
From what he said, does it an ’the tougher the opponent, the tougher he becos’?
Of course, there would always be a limit to this. Ye Feng simply blocked out his senses and let Zhang Wenyuan chatter endlessly behind him. They say a disciple’s temperant reflects the master’s, but this direct disciple of Zhao Gongming...
How co his character completely changed?
In the Central Region, the area isn’t actually vast. It’s roughly the size of a mid-level provincial region within the Xuanyuan Nation, which is why most people in the country focus only on the Four Realms.
The Central Region, not too large or small, is only rembered for the unending disasters that befall it through the years—frequent earthquakes and the occasional rare blizzards.
So say the Central Region is a cursed land. Despite its fertile soil and abundant resources, the territory, known as the Country of the Heavenly Mansion for its beauty, has always been unwelcoming to habitation.
Now, it looks indeed as if a curse has been cast upon it.
Looking up, the sky was overcast; everything around was dying. No one’s mood could brighten in such a scene. Ye Feng’s pace quickened, and in less than ten minutes, he arrived at his destination.
The Divine Doctor Sect, or rather, the location of the delegates from the Valley of the dicine God.
Worth ntioning is that even though they were at the outer edge, the arrivals from the Divine Doctor Sect were still within the Imperial Capital Camp boundaries. Further beyond stood two more camps, and upon looking over, one could see a camp filled with won in plain clothes moving around, while the other was full of n in black.
Before Ye Feng could approach, soone ca out to welco him.
"Young friend, you truly are swift!"
A large group of people, none of whom were young. Ye Feng recognized a few of them, while the others were unfamiliar.
The one who spoke was a plump old man in the center, his face a picture of beaming health and his cheeks round, though his eyes seed small. He was smiling mirthfully.
Yu Xianhe!
The Sect Leader of the Imperial Divine dical Sect, the Valley Master of the Sacred Land dicine God Valley, the dicine King of his generation, and a Ninth Level Great Doctor, also the biological father of Yu Feiyu.
It is said,
"Heaven’s Xianhe, earth’s divine dicine, grow and thrive, heal the dead and support the injured." Continue your adventure at .Côm
Don’t be fooled by Old Man Yu’s sly and rat-like appearance; he is indeed a genuine good person. The number of patients the dicine King has cured over the years likely exceeds the entire population of the Divine Doctor Sect.
"I dare not dawdle."
Ye Feng responded with a smile.
His gaze then shifted to the elderly man with the heavy sword beside Yu Xianhe, and he couldn’t help but focus.
Unexpectedly, even Dugu Baitian had arrived!
The latter seed to feel Ye Feng’s gaze as well. His eyes, sharp as swords, squinted slightly.
"Long story short, follow ."
This tone clearly did not regard Ye Feng as an outsider.
Dao techniques are not determined by seniority but by proficiency. The appearance of Ye Feng, who was personally welcod by a unique figure like the dicine King, caught the attention of many, including those from the two camps outside.
"Very well!"
Ye Feng imdiately replied.
Being the dicine King, one could see the powerful experts following him. Ye Feng counted silently—there were eight of Martial King Level, and even four at the Divine Path Realm.
Look at that!
People who could dismiss Grandmasters were out of Ye Feng’s league. With an edge of jealousy, he thought, "Why do I have such a hard ti when we’re contemporaries in dical skills?" Of course, he knew the reason himself.
"Have you seen Feiyu?"
The young and the old were soon alone, having left the group behind for a private conversation.
"Of course. Old Man Yu, with the entirety of dicine God Valley at your disposal, is it so hard to lend sothing good to help your own daughter?"
What Ye Feng ant was that Yu Feiyu’s cultivation level was too low.
Grandmaster!
No matter the Grandmaster, they were still just that. In this age where Martial Kings were on the rise, Grandmasters no longer had the clout they once did, and any slight carelessness could cost their lives.
"A joke, would I be that person?"
"The dicine God Valley is the dowry I am holding for a future son-in-law; it’s not to be touched. Besides, what does a girl need such high cultivation for? Is she planning to keep it to fight her husband?"
The dicine King looked at Ye Feng with a teasing expression.
At that, Ye Feng almost spit out the tea he had just brought to his lips. It seed that Old Man Yu had changed too. He never could have said sothing like that before.
Ye Feng quietly averted his gaze.
"About the incident half a year ago, I found out too late."
"Have you ever thought of leaving everything behind to co to the Valley of the dicine God? As long as you’re willing, the position of Valley Master is yours. There, no one would dare touch a hair on your head."
Still with a calm and unbothered deanor, the dicine King continued to look at Ye Feng, shortly after heaving a heavy sigh.
Sotis, even Yu Xianhe couldn’t understand himself. He had extended an olive branch to Ye Feng early on, and as the dicine King of his ti, his words carried weight in the Xuanyuan Nation. However, Ye Feng outrightly refused without even considering it.
"There’s no need to take your job."
Ye Feng nodded, confident in the words of Old Man Yu.
Having gone through the experience with Mu Tian, if there were still soone in this world whom Ye Feng could trust without reserve, it would likely be this dicine King before him.
There are so people, once you get to know them, you deal with them as opened-heartedly as you would a friend.
"What are you talking about? Just like you once said, amongst all things under heaven, the capable ones should rise to the occasion. dicine God Valley has languished in my hands for many years; your arrival could surely propel it forward. If anything, I couldn’t be more pleased."
```
"Moreover, I’m old too!"
The dicine King spoke with a heavy heart as he patted Ye Feng’s shoulder.
His tone had changed!
It seed that the incident half a year ago did indeed deal him a great blow, as previously, Ye Feng would only respond with an unexpected retort, "Go on with your daydreams."
This was promising. Once Ye Feng retired, the dicine King would surely try to pull him into the Valley of the dicine God.
"Look here, Old Man Yu, you can jump around lively even if a turtle dies, so there’s no point in pretending in front of ," Ye Feng said as he sat down with a laugh and a curse.
Seeing that Yu Feiyu was not even forty years old, you, a Divine Path Realm powerhouse, are saying you’re old now, isn’t that irritating?
"You brat, you think I would treat you poorly if you ca to the Divine Doctor Sect?"
The dicine King raised an eyebrow and said with an old-fashioned air.
"Let’s not talk about that, the ti has not yet co."
Ye Feng fell silent for a mont, putting an end to that topic.
He had considered retirent, but it was not because of the dicine King, nor was it to covet anything from the Valley of the dicine God, but for a woman.
The woman he loved!
"Enough idle talk, let’s discuss the important matter."
"I’m aware of the situation over in the imperial capital. I’ve invited you here to see if we can work together to find a feasible solution," the dicine King said, also taking a seat with a serious expression.
"What do you an by a ’feasible solution’?" asked Ye Feng, puzzled.
"Ancient Needle Technique is powerful, but it’s only a temporary fix, not a cure. Do you know how many people have been infected in the Central Region this ti? Just in Dongchuan, where we are, there are at least millions infected, not to ntion that the infection is still spreading."
The dicine King did not continue.
He had seen many diseases and epidemics, but this kind of vicious and troubleso Ghost Qi was sothing he had never encountered before.
It was a bit like being tied up with no recourse; if it was a disease, at least it would be just a disease!
"Why let it spread further?" Ye Feng’s face turned furious.
He had already emphasized the enormity of the threat posed by Ghost Qi, but now soone was still telling him that it was spreading?
"Because it’s uncontrollable. To use modern language, it’s undoubtedly a kind of unknown virus. Air, the migration of all living beings with blood and flesh, can spread it, and how it appeared in the first place remains a mystery."
"The approach taken by the imperial capital was rely to relocate the people on the periphery," the dicine King explained helplessly.
"Any discoveries?"
Ye Feng took a deep breath to calm himself down.
"Sunlight. Ghost Qi is not only afraid of sunlight over there but it also dares not spread in places where there is sunlight during the day. However, the thing seems to be cunning. Did you see the layer of grey mist in the sky when you ca? That’s its way of coping with the sunlight."
"I’ve tried a combination of various dications. The results were minimal, only slowing the infection rate inside the patients." In plain terms, the dicine King didn’t have a good solution.
If there was a way, why would he need your help?
"So what you’re saying is, currently, no one has a way to deal with it, and we can only let it continue to wreak havoc?"
Ye Feng couldn’t help but feel sad.
How could Xuanyuan Nation, so vast and strong, be rendered helpless by the Ghost Qi that Long Nannan described as trivial?
The power of a Different World, is it truly that terrifying?
"Currently, there are two possible paths."
"One, you and I join forces to continue experinting with various drug combinations. There must be sothing that can cure Ghost Qi; we just haven’t concocted it yet. Two, find living creatures that are still alive despite being eroded by Ghost Qi. As the saying goes, where there is extre death, life must follow. Just as underworld flowers can grow where the dead reside, the sa can happen here."
The dicine King stated decisively.
"There’s no use. Infected individuals only have seven days for treatnt, and I don’t know how many days so people are in by now. Like you said, it’s a short-term redy, not a cure. Ancient Needle Technique won’t save many. With so many people infected, by the ti we successfully concoct an antidote, how many will be left to save?" Ye Feng couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
A sudden catastrophe always lacks ti, alas, Ghost Qi is too ferocious, and although the ti given is not short, there are too many people to treat.
"We can’t just stand by and watch as people die."
The dicine King said heavily.
This ti, he had brought not only the elite of the Imperial Divine dical Sect headquarters but also called in several Ninth Level Great Doctors from the Valley of the dicine God. Everyone was working hard, yet no one was successful.
"Of course, we can’t just stand by and watch as people die."
"Go ahead with my suggestion, you continue to lead the effort in concocting dicines, and I’ll look for that thing. Compared to those who search blindly, we have a clearer idea of what works."
The tea had been drunk, and Ye Feng stood up imdiately.
Actually, before coming here, Long Nannan had already provided the answer. Ghost Qi isn’t to be feared; once entering the Divine Path Realm, one can ignore it.
Such a culling, for this world, is too cruel.
