Chapter 253 – Two Field Doctors (Part Two) (2/2)

”Is it a sort of woman's kindheartedness?”

Chen Changsheng pondered the question, then replied, ”It's that I can't bear to leave it be.”

After a moment of silence, Zhexiu replied, ”The responsibility of an expert is to make themselves more powerful, so that they can better protect the weak.”

Chen Changsheng honestly admitted, ”… maybe I don't have the consciousness of an expert? Besides, since the Li Palace has handed these people over to me, I have to assume some responsibility over them. In addition, it seems that I'm the only that can treat injuries amongst these people.”

Zhexiu said no more.

Chen Changsheng asked, ”You still haven't answered my question.”

Zhexiu replied, ”Tang Tang paid in advance, so I'm your bodyguard.”

Chen Changsheng thought about his friend who was still in the Mausoleum of Books, then he thought about the Yellow Paper Umbrella, then regretfully said, ”Being rich is really great.”

Zhexiu added on at the end, ”In addition, I feel that if I go with you, I won't be missing out.”

As they talked, the pair didn't slow their speed at all. In a short time, they had arrived at the top of that hill. They saw the bonfire, as well as the people beside it.

From their clothes, those two cultivators were likely from the south. For some reason, they had battled with each other, and the end result was that neither side had won and both of them were covered with numerous wounds.

What most mystified Chen Changsheng was that these two cultivators were both sound asleep, the wounds on their bodies had already healed. If it were not for the bloodstains on their clothes, it would have been impossible to tell that they had been wounded.

He walked over to the two cultivators and took their pulses, then he opened their eyes and closely examined them. Lastly, he lifted their clothes to examine the state of their wounds.

Although the wounds of the two were not completely smoothed over, it was clear that they were clear of any major obstacles. In addition, their deep sleep was most likely because they had sniffed some Spirit-Pacifying Incense, which would aid in their recovery.

”A senior from the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green has given them Desistance Incense.”

Chen Changsheng stood up and said to Zhexiu, ”Since there's someone else going around saving lives, we can relax a little.”

Zhexiu shook his head, ”It's not the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green.”

Chen Changsheng's expression became a little strange. Thinking to himself, as a person well-versed in the Daoist Canon, he was very familiar with the handiwork of the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green. For the wounds on those two southern cultivators to recover so quickly could only be accomplished by the Orthodoxy's Sacred Light Art. There were even the remnants of Sacred Qi around the wounds. So why is it that Zhexiu said that this was not the work of the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green?

The Orthodoxy's Sacred Light technique was extremely difficult to cultivate. The level of Sacred Light technique he had just seen was something that only a dozen or so bishops within the Li Palace could demonstrate. Therefore, he had guessed that the person that healed these two cultivators was probably rather advanced, which is why he had called her a senior. It was even very likely that she was a female instructor. It was probably the case that Chen Changsheng had not been paying attention closely enough when entering the garden, so he had not seen her.

”It truly was the Sacred Light technique that healed the wounds, but the smell of the spirit-pacifying incense is wrong. It's not the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green's Desistance Incense, but rather the Holy Maiden Peak's most rarely produced Stainless Dust.”

Zhexiu expressionlessly said to him, ”The first incense I have smelled many times, while the latter I have only smelled once. There is no way I would forget it, so there's no way that I'm wrong.”

Only now did Chen Changsheng remember that while Zhexiu hunted demons in the snowy plains of the north, he would also often undertake extremely dangerous missions for the Great Zhou Army. Who knows how many times he had lingered on the edge of life and death? There were probably few people more qualified than him to discuss these two holy grounds of healing that were the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green and Holy Maiden Peak.

”Knows the Sacred Light technique, and also carries the Stainless Dust on their body… who could it be?”

He said this out loud, but in his heart, he wondered, to have grown up in both the northern and southern sects, this senior would clearly be rather extraordinary. But would such a senior really remain in Ethereal Opening?

Zhexiu stared wordlessly at him.

Somewhat uneasy, Chen Changsheng asked, ”Why are you staring at me?”

Zhexiu looked into Chen Changsheng's eyes and asked, ”Do you really not know or are you just acting stupid?”

Chen Changsheng stared blankly at him, then understood, after which he continued to stare blankly at him.

One of the important reasons that which he entered the Garden of Zhou was to meet that young lady and then personally return the marriage contract.

It was only that so many things had occurred after entering the garden that he had actually forgotten the matter, forgotten that she was also inside the Garden of Zhou.

To grow up in the sects of the South and the North, to cultivate the Sacred Light technique to such a high level at Ethereal Opening, and then to also carry the precious Stainless Dust. In these past years, it seemed as though the only person to match those conditions on the continent was only her?

Somewhat helpless, he said to Zhexiu, ”It can't be, right?”

Zhexiu impassively replied, ”It is.”

Chen Changsheng said no more, instead, he turned to the dark mountains and fields. He thought about how she had probably also stood in this spot, stood by the same fire. For some reason, his mind felt somewhat strange.

”Let’s go?” Zhexiu asked.

Chen Changsheng suddenly turned to the two southern cultivators, took out his needles, and he began to treat them.

Zhexiu was somewhat confused. Since Xu Yourong has already treated them, what need was there for him to do so as well?
