AST 2405 - Sacred Blue Immortal Grass, Head to the Demon Gate (1/2)
Qing Shui followed the man into a very spacious hall with simple decor. There was a faint smell of medicine in the hall and there was a smaller hall within. The medicinal smell originated from the inner hall.
”We'll have to trouble Mister Qing,” The man said politely as they walked in.
”It's fine. Let me take a look at the Palace Lord's condition first,” Qing Shui replied, but kept thinking that the Palace Lord must have been injured by Tantai Lingyan.
They entered the smaller hall, which wasn't really that small, just a lot smaller than the outer hall. There were several tens of people here who belonged to the Divine Palace. The Palace Lord's life was at its end and everyone was in deep grief.
They saw the man walking in together with Qing Shui.
”Palace Lord Xiao, this person is...?” A lady walked over and asked.
”Sister-in-law, this is Mister Qing. He is a physician and is also a Battle God like us. He might be able to save the Palace Lord,” the man introduced Qing Shui to the married lady.
”Hello, we'll have to trouble you,” the married lady said respectfully.
”Madam, there's no need to stand on ceremony. Let me take a look at the Palace Lord's condition first.” After saying that, Qing Shui walked up to the bed and took a look at the man on the bed. He appeared slightly old, at about his fifties. Right now, he was very pale and his vitals were very weak.
Qing Shui took his pulse and then used Meridians Knocking Soul Pulling. If no treatment was given, this person would not live past the next two days. He might even die at any moment.
His injuries were very serious and they were all infected. The inside of his body was seriously damaged from powerful attacks and ordinary physicians weren't be able to deal with them, even if they had powerful medicinal pills. It was because the vessel to absorb the medicinal effects was greatly damaged.
No matter how amazing the medicinal pills, even if they could grow one's flesh and bones or bring one back to life, they all had one condition. The person's head mustn't be separated from the body, the heart must still be intact, and the time of death mustn't exceed two hours. All of these meant that there were still certain conditions when absorbing miracle medicine.
Otherwise, why was it that some people would say that even the Great Firmament Golden Immortal [1] couldn't save them at the verge of their deaths? Those were situations like this.
This Palace Lord's condition was that his internal body was seriously damaged, to the degree that it was unable to absorb any medicinal effects. Therefore, alchemists and physicians were unable to do anything.
It was very quiet in the hall, so quiet that one could even hear a needle drop. The Palace Lord's life or death was very important to the Divine Palace. If the Palace Lord wasn't around, it'd be all over for the Divine Palace. They wouldn't be able to survive in the Forsaken Heaven City.
After a long while, Qing Shui drew back his hand. The man on the bed woke up and when he saw the people in the room, he smiled. He was very weak, but Qing Shui's Meridians Knocking Soul Pulling could ensure that his life wasn't at risk for the next three days.
”Palace Lord, you're awake. How do you feel?” Palace Lord Xiao immediately said.
The people around also asked him about his condition agitatedly.
”I'm fine. I feel very good. Cough cough...” The Palace Lord was still wearing a smile, but he coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood.
This made the others panic once again. The married lady looked at Qing Shui, ”Miraculous Physician, quick, take a look at Old Tang. Is he alright?”
Qing Shui smiled and said, ”I can cure him, but I need some time. I also need an additional medicinal herb.”
”Really? Go on, what do you need? I'll go look for it immediately.” Palace Lord Xiao said quickly.
”Sacred Blue Immortal Grass.” Qing Shui said.
”What is that? Where can it be found? What must I do to find it?” Palace Lord Xiao immediately raised all the questions everyone else had.
