Chapter 75 - Can You Cure It

Wen Tingguang ignored him, and the white-haired elder frowned and snorted, “Wen Tingguang, I’m talking to you!

The Sect Leader is suffering from a strange illness, growing weaker by the day.

What have you brought here?

Someone without even a Moral Medal, does he even qualify as a doctor?”

That white-haired elder was none other than “Elder Liu” Liu Hongzhang, previously mentioned by the maid who led the way.

Liu Hongzhang and Wen Tingguang were of comparable status and power within the Cangqiong Sect, and they were archenemies, opposing each other both openly and covertly.

Liu Hongzhang’s gaze was sharp and aggressive, “This is where the Sect Leader is recuperating.

No outsiders are allowed inside.

It’s best to send this wild lad back where he came from with some money to dismiss him!”

Ling Feng’s brows furrowed slightly, this old man completely treated him as a beggar!

Wen Tingguang stopped walking, looked up at Liu Hongzhang, and frowned, “Do I need your permission, Elder Liu, to bring someone?

Besides, didn’t you also bring a greenhorn?

How do you know his medical skill is better than the person I brought?”

“Hahaha!” Liu Hongzheng burst into laughter, turning to the young man beside him, “Siyi, my dear nephew, someone is questioning your medical skills!”

In the hall, the descendants from various Daoist Medical Families also burst into laughter.

“Do they not even recognize the youngest Imperial Doctor of the Divine Country?”

“It’s ridiculous, how can that roadside wild kid even compare to Sun Family’s heir, Sun Siyi?”

“He’s not even fit to carry Sun Siyi’s shoes!”

One merciless mockery after another echoed, making Wen Tingguang’s face burn with humiliation, losing all face.

In contrast, Liu Hongzhang looked smug, mocking further, “My dear nephew, show your token, lest someone compares you with that unknown wild doctor!”

“Giggle…” Standing beside Sun Siyi, a young girl in green clothes took out a token from her chest and said lightly, “Brother, your token is right here with me!”

This young girl, Sun Siyi’s junior, named Lio Yiyi, had been adopted by the Sun Family since childhood and adored her talented elder brother immensely.

At this moment, this pair of handsome man and beautiful woman stood together like a perfect match, attracting everyone’s admiration.

Sun Siyi took the token without giving Ling Feng a single glance, and flaunted the token which read “Imperial Doctor of the Divine Country.”

“Imperial Doctor of the Divine Country” was not only a symbol of identity but also the highest honor in Daoist Medicine.

Even for the descendants of Daoist Medical Families, obtaining the token of Imperial Doctor of the Divine Country required passing numerous tests.

Generally, those who achieved this honor were seasoned Daoist Doctors over forty years of age.

However, Sun Siyi, at just nineteen years old, had already secured this supreme accolade, highlighting his extraordinary medical talent.

“I am Sun Siyi, the thirty-third generation heir of the Daoist Medical Family, the Sun Family.

And you, won’t you introduce yourself?”

Throughout, Sun Siyi never looked Ling Feng in the eyes, his disdain evident and unmasked.

“I don’t have a token, nor do I have any illustrious family background,” Ling Feng said calmly, not bothering to look directly at Sun Siyi, “What I possess is the skill to heal and treat people.”

“Hahaha, indeed just a wild doctor!”

“Damn it, a Wild Fox Zen, also here to freeload food and drink!”

Laughter erupted throughout the hall, and the young girl beside Sun Siyi laughed so hard she could barely stand straight, “You’re not even a Daoist doctor, what are you doing here?

Humiliating yourself?”

Ling Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Although the young girl looked pleasant, she was nothing more than someone clinging to greatness.

“No token, does that mean I can’t cure and save people?” Ling Feng proudly said, “Without that piece of token, can’t you all take pulses and administer acupuncture?

I’ll say it again, I am a doctor, I am here to cure diseases.”

“Such arrogance!” Sun Siyi sneered as he finally turned his glance towards Ling Feng for the first time.

“Without a Daoist Doctor Medal or a Divine Country Imperial Physician Token, with your mere skills, treating commoners might be fine, but the Sect Leader’s life, valued more than gold, is not for someone lowly like you to tamper with—get out!”

“Oh?” Ling Feng retorted sarcastically, “By your logic, if you put a token on a pig, it would become a doctor and could even become an Imperial Physician of the Divine Country?”

“How dare you!”

Liu Yiyi furrowed her brows—this wild boy dared to insinuate that her senior brother was a pig!

She drew a soft sword from her waist and lunged towards Ling Feng, her blade wrapped in a scorching aura.

This young girl’s cultivation had impressively reached the Magnetic Condensation Realm!

Ling Feng narrowed his eyes and also placed his hand on his Space Spirit Ring.

“How audacious!” Wen Tingguang flicked his finger, and a burst of finger wind sent the young girl’s soft sword flying, “How dare you draw a sword in the Sect Leader’s place of meditation?”

“Yiyi, you’re being too reckless!” Sun Siyi turned and glared at Liu Yiyi, then bowed slightly towards Wen Tingguang, “Elder Wen, my junior sister is young and ignorant, please forgive her.”

“Hmph!” Wen Tingguang flicked his sleeve, turning his gaze to Elder Liu, speaking coldly, “Liu Hongzhang, step aside!”

“Step aside?” Liu Hongzhang, however, firmly blocked the way, asking, “Wen Tingguang, have you lost your senses?

How can I let such an unknown wild boy in to treat the Sect Leader?

What if something goes wrong—can you bear that responsibility?”

Wen Tingguang was about to retort, but found himself at a loss for words.

Indeed, he knew Ling Feng was an Asking Immortal Sect Disciple, but what was Asking Immortal Sect?

Just a third-class sect!

But it was Ling Feng who stepped forward calmly and said, “So, can you, the Divine Country Imperial Physician, cure it?”

That question left Liu Hongzheng speechless.

And made Sun Siyi flush with embarrassment.

He couldn’t cure it!

Even with the reputation of being the youngest Divine Country Imperial Physician from the Empire’s millennium-old Sun Family, his medical skill just wasn’t enough to cure the Cangqiong Sect Leader’s rare illness.

“The Sect Leader’s illness is utterly incurable!” Sun Siyi momentarily fell silent before saying through clenched teeth.

“What a bold statement!” Wen Tingguang glared furiously at Sun Siyi, “Don’t think you can spout nonsense just because you’re from the Sun Family!”

Liu Hongzhang also responded with a slap, striking Sun Siyi sharply across the face, “Stop your nonsense!”

Liu Hongzhang’s face turned iron blue; Sun Siyi, although a skilled doctor, was ultimately too young.

How could he have been provoked by Ling Feng into making such a statement?

Even if the Sect Leader was truly beyond help, he should not have said it out loud!

Wasn’t that like cursing the Sect Leader to death?

Aren’t there other Daoist Doctors around the world? Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NoᴠᴇFɪre.nᴇt

How could he say such a thing?

Sun Siyi then realized his slip of the tongue.

Being slapped by Liu Hongzhang, he didn’t dare retort but could only glare coldly at Ling Feng, blaming him for the situation.

“It was a momentary lapse on my part, the Sect Leader is not beyond help, it’s just beyond my ability,” he clenched his fists, staring at Ling Feng and said through gritted teeth, “I assert, the Sect Leader’s illness, he can’t cure it either!”

“Whether I can cure it or not, you saying it doesn’t make it so.” Ling Feng smiled lightly, “Let me go in and try, and we’ll know for sure!”
