Chapter 253 - Two Field Doctors (Part Two)
As the sunlight shone onto the young lady's face, her delicate and pretty, yet far from being described as beautiful, appearance suddenly seemed to grow brighter and more beautiful.
As she calmly looked at the distant sun, she thought of all the matters that she had encountered after entering the Garden of Zhou. In her heart, she had probably finished her assessment.
At this moment, one of the maidens of the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green came over to her and whispered, ”That person's injuries are too severe, Senior… ”
The young lady nodded and indicated that the maiden should leave first, she would come soon after.
The maiden from the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green returned to room, then, disregarding the protests of the injured cultivator's compatriots, had everyone exit the room.
Only after this did the young lady go inside. Two of the maidens from the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green were attempting to treat the injured cultivator, but his injuries were truly too severe. The commonly used treatment methods of the Li Palace were lacking in effectiveness. Despite the efforts of the two maidens, they were still incapable of stemming the blood spilling from the wound in the abdomen.
Seeing the young lady arrive, the maidens suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and they hurriedly moved aside for her.
The young lady walked over to the injured cultivator, then after taking two glances, she raised her right hand and placed it in the air above the wound.
A faint green light fell from her palm. Like flowing water, except even gentler, it incessantly fell from her palm onto the wounded cultivator's body.
The gaping wound which had been spilling blood nonstop suddenly ceased bleeding.
Soon after, the beam of light falling from that young lady's palm changed colors from a joyful and refreshing green to a holy and dignified milky white.
The pure white beam of light touched the cultivator's abdomen, and the terrifying wound slowly began to close up.
”The Garden of Zhou… has a problem. I suspect that the gate to the garden has been closed. In a little bit, choose the fastest from amongst those cultivators to go to the gate and see.”
That young lady stood up and said to the other girls, ”After I leave, you all should light two fireworks. I believe that all the cultivators in the mountains and by the river should be able to see them.”
Regardless of it was the Holy Maiden Peak or the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green, on the battlefield, they both had always used fireworks to communicate. To cultivators as well as human soldiers, these two fireworks were hope. Although this place was inside the Garden of Zhou, when those injured cultivators whose gray strings had failed to bring them out of the garden saw the two fireworks, they would probably try and make their way to the Mountainside Whispering Wood.
One of the maidens of the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green that was slightly older than the rest asked the young lady with some concern, ”Senior, what are you planning to do?”
”I have some things that I need to do.” The young lady calmly stated, then she turned and departed.
The maidens from the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green could only look in silence as the young lady's back disappeared into the depths of the garden.
Only after a moment did people begin to discuss the miraculous event that they had just witnessed.
One of the maidens said in admiration, ”That was the Sacred Light Technique, wasn't it? I couldn't have imagined that Senior, despite her young age, could have mastered the Sacred Light Technique to such a level! It seems to me that perhaps not even teacher would be able to do that.”
”The latter was the Sacred Light Technique. At the beginning, she probably used Holy Maiden Peak's Natural Light.”
The maiden that was slightly older than the rest smiled. ”Senior first studied at our school for a while, then she went to Holy Maiden Peak to cultivate. Growing up in both the north and the south, naturally she's not ordinary.”
As the night approached, the Garden of Zhou became somewhat chilly. In the foothills, it was even colder.
The white robes of the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green were somewhat thick, able to keep out the wind and protect against the cold. The young lady was not worried about those things. As she seemingly casually strolled through the mountains and fields, in reality, she was searching for the cultivators that had entered the garden.
She held the same view as Chen Changsheng and Qi Jian. An even more powerful force would still be incapable of changing the rules of the Garden of Zhou, so the closing of the gate was most likely a temporary matter. The problem lay in the fact that the sudden closing of the gate presented many dangers to the several hundred cultivators in the garden. These dangers came from the human cultivators themselves as well as from other places.
At the previous cliff, she had encountered a student from Star Seizer Academy. The student had not been injured from battle, rather he had experienced a problem with circulating his true essence and he had fallen off the cliff. Even a body that had undergone Purification was unable to resist the force of the fall from such great height and his bones had been broken in many places. If she had not seen him, then perhaps the only thing that he would have been able to do was wait for his death.
The night gradually set in and the mountain forest grew somewhat gloomy. In the distance, one could make out the faint glows of bonfires. It would seem that many cultivators had realized that something was strange and they no longer feared attracting competitors. They were only thinking about finding companions as fast as possible, and right now any person in the Garden of Zhou could be considered a companion.
The young lady headed towards the closest fire, and her white robes fluttering lightly in the night.
In the darkness of the Garden of Zhou, the most eye-catching objects were the glimmers of the bonfires. It was just that some of the bonfires were very difficult to see, perhaps because they were too far away.
Chen Changsheng and Zhexiu walked out of the mountain forest. Chen Changsheng spied a bonfire on a hill not too far away and said, ”We'll start with the closest. No need to rush.”
Zhexiu said nothing. As a descendent of the wolf tribe, the trait that he lacked the least was patience.
Chen Changsheng quickly realized this and he felt somewhat embarrassed. Then he remembered something else. ”There are probably still many magical artifacts to be found in the Garden of Zhou. Coming with me, don't you feel like you're losing out?”
Zhexiu replied, ”And you? Are you telling me that you don't feel like you're losing out?”
Chen Changsheng replied, ”When I think about how the Mount Li Sword Sect very likely knows the exact location of the Sword Pool and that Liang Xiaoxiao and Qi Jian are right now heading there, and when I think about how even Zhuang Huanyu might have already found it, of course… I still somewhat care about it. It's just that tonight, there are most definitely many people that have been injured, even on the verge of death. I can't just leave them be.”
Zhexiu stared into his eyes and gravely asked him, ”Why can't you leave them be?”
For this wolf youth that had grown up in the cruel snowy plains, every kindness was a weakness. He really did not understand why humans as well as some demihuman… simply could not let things be.
