Braised Dragon with Soy Sauce

Chapter 220: Good luck and good fortune

No one expected this outcome. Two days had passed, and Mo Yuming still showed no signs of life. The old witch doctor had already performed two spells on Mo Yuming, but his condition remained unclear.

A quarter of an hour later, the old witch doctor emerged wearily from the room. The people waiting outside rushed forward and helped him to a seat to rest. Huang Xiaoxiao quickly offered him some spiritual tea. Then, the group watched the old man drink the tea silently, without making a sound. But from their anxious eyes, it was clear that everyone was waiting and anticipating a result.

The old witch doctor took a sip of tea, then let out a sigh. He slowly raised his head, glanced around at the group, and then said in a low voice:

"I have practiced medicine for over a hundred years and have seen countless difficult and complicated cases, but I have never seen anything like the young master's condition before. I cannot determine the outcome at this time; the final result depends on the young master's fate. Alas!"

"Old Doctor, what's the situation with the young master? Regardless of his cultivation level, we just want to know if he will wake up and if he will be alright..." Huang Xiaoxiao said with tears in her eyes.

"Under normal circumstances, with skin torn to shreds, meridians severed, acupoints congested, and even muscles and bones severely damaged, leaving no part of the body intact, one would have already perished and could not have survived until now."

Strangely, the young man's dantian remained intact, and despite the damage to all his meridians and acupoints, it was not affected in the slightest. Even the gathered spiritual energy showed no signs of dissipating!

For an ordinary person, even one at the Heavenly Rank, their dantian would have long since disintegrated without the support and protection of meridians, flesh, and blood. What's even stranger is that when I was treating the young master, I discovered a very peculiar substance within his body.

This substance appears to be some kind of elemental body, but it is different from the elemental bodies we usually see. It is fused into the young master's flesh and blood, constantly repairing the damaged body. Although it is very slow, I can still sense it. This is the miracle that allowed the young master to survive.

However, there's too little of this peculiar substance, so the repair process is rather slow.

The old witch doctor said.

"So the young master will be alright!" Jiang Yuheng and Huang Xiaoxiao asked in unison, while Su Yangyan and Huo Chengde also stared anxiously at the old witch doctor.

"It's hard to say, after all, the young master is seriously injured! I hope the young master is lucky and can pull through."

"Elder Doctor, please think of a way to help the young master! I beg you!" Huang Xiaoxiao pleaded.

“Miss, there’s no need for that. The young master’s deeds are evident to all. He is the person I respect most in my life. Although he is still very young, he is more worthy of respect than those so-called masters.”

Therefore, based on this alone, I will do my utmost to treat him. However, my medical skills are limited, and the results will be minimal! If I had the assistance of a Heavenly Rank cultivator specializing in Wood or Water elements, the outcome might be better.”

"Can the Wood-type and Water-type Heavenly Ranks help the old doctor heal?"

"With their help, I can improve my medical skills by 10% to 20%, but the effect will only be known after the treatment."

“That’s easy. I’ll immediately notify Master Mu in Shangyuan City. He’s a second-level Heavenly Rank Wood Elementalist, and Master Shun in Wangxiang Town is also a second-level Heavenly Rank Water Elementalist. I’ll go and notify him now.”

Huang Xiaoxiao hurriedly went outside and activated the soul tablet to contact Master Mu and Master Shun.

A quarter of an hour later, Master Shun from Wangxiang Town rushed over. Half an hour later, Master Mu from Shangyuan City also arrived.

The old witch doctor, who was resting with his eyes closed to recover his strength, was greatly surprised to hear that two Heavenly Realm experts had been found in less than an hour. Although he had heard that Mo Yuming had a large group of experts under his command, all of whom were Heavenly Realm, he was shocked but did not pay much attention to it.

The old witch doctor had lived in seclusion for many years, spending his time cultivating his mind and body, practicing medicine, healing the sick and saving lives, and generally not concerning himself with other worldly affairs.

So, although I had heard about Mo Yuming's conquest of Shangyuan City and capture of Zhongyuan City, that was all. I've seen too much fighting and war in this world, so I'm used to it. However, Mo Yuming's reforms to the tax system and the establishment of schools to educate people, which benefited the people, made the old witch doctor think more highly of him and earned his praise.

What truly shocked the old witch doctor wasn't how many Heavenly Rank experts assisted Mo Yuming, but rather Huang Xiaoxiao's method of communication. Even talismanic communication wouldn't be this fast. The old witch doctor clearly saw that Huang Xiaoxiao hadn't used any talismanic communication at all. She had simply closed her eyes and silently chanted for a while. Yet, Master Mu, more than two hundred miles away, received the news and immediately rushed over.

Although the old witch doctor was shocked, he was a reclusive master after all, so he naturally didn't make a fuss. When he saw Master Mu arrive, he got up and led the two into the room to heal Mo Yuming's injuries again.

Water is the source of life, nourishing all things. Those who cultivate water-based techniques naturally have a strong ability to heal and save lives. Following the old witch doctor's technique, Master Shun used water spiritual power to moisturize Mo Yuming's cracked skin, replenish moisture, and nourish his acupoints.

At the same time, under the guidance of the witch doctor, the pure wood spirit power released by the Wood Lord slowly seeped into Mo Yuming's flesh and blood, using the vigorous life force of the wood element to repair the damaged bones, flesh and organs.

The old witch doctor closed his eyes and channeled his energy, silently chanting incantations while raising his hands high. He drew intricate patterns in the air with his right index and middle fingers together, and then two intertwined streaks of light appeared between his fingers, one bright and one dark. The bright one was pale green, and the dark one was purplish-red. The streaks of light were about three inches long from his body.

The old witch doctor slowly pressed his gleaming fingers onto Mo Yuming's dantian (lower abdomen), then gently moved them along the meridians and acupoints towards his chest. After rotating several times on his chest, he moved them towards the top of his head, finally stopping at the Baihui acupoint. He repeated this treatment several times, then rested for fifteen minutes before resuming the treatment.

With the assistance of two Heavenly Realm experts, the effect was significantly better than before. An hour later, most of the cracks on Mo Yuming's skin had disappeared, with only a few larger cracks remaining unhealed. His complexion had also regained some color, no longer deathly pale.

"Good fortune has come to the young master. His injuries have finally stabilized, and his vital signs are now stable. Now it depends on his own fate. If things go well, he will be fine and may even turn misfortune into good fortune. If things go badly, he will lose all his power and be forever barred from mastering any profound skills."

After the old witch doctor came out, he spoke to everyone.

"That's wonderful! Thank you so much for your treatment, old doctor!" The group bowed and thanked the old shaman at the same time.

"No need for that. I'll stop here for today and see how things go tomorrow."

"I wonder if giving him some pills or medicinal herbs would help. We'll try anything that works!"

"His body isn't reacting at all right now, so he can't use any pills. Even if he could, most pills contain toxins and wouldn't help his recovery, unless they're made by a Medicine King-level alchemist."

However, there are no alchemists of this level in our area. Even in the Zhenglan Kingdom, there are very few alchemists of this level. It is better to use spiritual herbs, but good spiritual herbs are too rare.

Even with money, you can't buy it! It would be better to ask the two masters to use my previous method to assist in the treatment with their profound skills!
