Chapter 91

Xiao Tian'nan walked towards Yun Che, clasped his hands, and said with utmost respect, "Senior Huangfu, please save my son. I only have this one son. If you are willing to help, I will repay you even if it means working like a beast of burden."

As the head of the largest sect in Crescent Moon City, Xiao Tian'nan was second to none and above ten thousand others in the city, yet he showed extreme respect to this "divine physician," even saying he would "work like a beast of burden." Clearly, Xiao Luocheng's condition had truly worried him to the extreme, and he was also genuinely intimidated by the title "Evilhearted Holyhand."

Gongsun Xiu hurriedly smiled and said, "Sect Master Xiao, please rest assured. With Senior Huangfu here, your son's injuries will surely heal."

"Congratulations, Sect Master Xiao. Since Senior Huangfu has come here, he will certainly use his holy hands. Not only will Young Master Xiao's injuries heal, but he might even form a bond with Senior Huangfu, which is a blessing that others can only dream of."

They had been scolded by Xiao Tian'nan for being helpless in treating Xiao Luocheng's severe injuries, but now that the "Evilhearted Holyhand" had descended from the heavens, they were both excited and admiring, and also secretly relieved. With this extraordinary holy physician, Xiao Luocheng's injuries would definitely be fine, and the sect would no longer blame them.

Being respectfully called "senior" by Xiao Tian'nan, Yun Che felt extremely pleased. He smiled faintly, his smile calm and refined, "Since I'm here, I would have treated him even without your request. Your sect may be small, but it stands on a mountain, and it's not easy to come up here. I can't just come for nothing. Come, let me see the young man's injuries."

The largest sect in Crescent Moon City, which occupied an entire mountain, was described as "small" by him, but no one present found it funny or inappropriate. After all, who was he? The Evilhearted Holyhand from the Divine Phoenix Empire! The sects he had seen were among the top in the Divine Phoenix Empire. Compared to those, Xiao Sect's branch was probably not even worth mentioning, and calling it a "small sect" was already being polite.

The reason he decided to treat the injury was that he didn't want to climb the mountain for nothing, which was a reason that made people gape in surprise. But thinking of his title "Evilhearted Holyhand," people understood. If his character wasn't eccentric, how could he be called "Evilhearted Holyhand"?

Xiao Tian'nan was overjoyed. Remembering what Xiao Baicao had told him, he said with utmost respect and sincerity, "Thank you, Senior Huangfu. My son's injuries concern the future of our sect. Please, use your holy hands to heal his meridians and spirit veins. Our entire sect will be eternally grateful... Ah, if you have any requests or needs, please let us know."

Yun Che did not speak further. He carelessly threw the flag and medicine box to the ground, then tugged at his beard and walked leisurely to Xiao Luocheng's bed. Yes, he was called the "Evilhearted Holyhand," and this title was perfect for him, allowing him to act without too many constraints, after all, he was "evil."

Seeing the divine physician approach Xiao Luocheng, the other physicians rushed forward, eager to surround him. If they could witness the divine physician's treatment, even a glimpse would be invaluable for their entire lives. But Xiao Tian'nan coughed lowly and gave them a stern look. The physicians' hearts tightened, and they had to lower their heads and reluctantly leave the alchemy hall.

"Zai, go and warn these physicians not to spread the news that this senior is Huangfu He. If any word leaks out, our sect will not show mercy," Xiao Tian'nan said in a low voice. If this news spread, it would cause a huge stir, and countless people would come seeking treatment, possibly even attracting super sects.

"I understand," Xiao Zai replied and quickly left.

Only Xiao Tian'nan and Yun Che remained in the room. Xiao Tian'nan walked over cautiously. He noticed the "divine physician" pinching Xiao Luocheng's wrist, eyes closed, and motionless. He waited patiently for a long time before finally asking, "Senior, how is my son's injury..."

Yun Che opened his eyes, removed his hand from Xiao Luocheng, and stroked his beard, saying, "A broken arm is not a big deal, and the injuries to the meridians and spirit veins are also not serious. However, his spirit energy will have to be cultivated from scratch."

Such severe injuries were described as "not a big deal" by this "divine physician." Although Xiao Baicao had told him that these injuries were minor to such a divine physician, Xiao Tian'nan's heart still twitched, thinking that this was indeed a top divine physician in the Divine Phoenix Empire, whose realm was beyond ordinary people's imagination.

"Go, find some people who know herbs to help me gather a few ingredients," Yun Che said, waving his hand with the air of a sage.

"Good. Our sect has its own herb garden and a thousand years of accumulation. As long as the ingredients are not too precious, we can find them within the sect," Xiao Tian'nan replied and personally called for people to help.

Soon, Xiao Tian'nan returned with six people. Yun Che, stroking his beard, said slowly, "A piece of Warm Pulse Jade weighing more than five taels and with a purity of over 85%, three Purple Heart Lotus petals, a Dragon Blood Ginseng over twenty years old, fifty drops of morning dew, ten Phoenix Gall Herbs, three pounds of deep water mud..."

Yun Che listed over a dozen ingredients and then sternly instructed, "All these ingredients are essential. The quantities can only be more, not less, and the age can only be older, not younger. Bring them to me within half an hour. Oh, and bring me a box of silver needles."

Xiao Tian'nan secretly sighed in relief. Although the list was long, the ingredients were not too rare, and the sect had ample reserves. He waved his hand, and the people rushed to gather the items... Within less than two hours, all the items Yun Che requested were ready. He stood up and said, "I need to borrow your alchemy furnace. Also, I don't like being disturbed during the process, so stay as far away as possible."

"Yes, yes, I will remember Senior's words," Xiao Tian'nan nodded hurriedly, his respectful demeanor making the disciples who brought the ingredients gape in astonishment.

After Yun Che entered the alchemy room, Xiao Tian'nan had a dozen disciples guard thirty steps away to prevent anyone from approaching. Two hours passed without Yun Che coming out. At this time, Xiao Baicao returned.

"How is it? Did you get the confirmation?"

Xiao Baicao nodded and lowered his voice, "The Black Moon Trade Union used a long-distance communication talisman to contact the headquarters in the Divine Phoenix Empire. They confirmed that the Evilhearted Holyhand, Huangfu He, disappeared in the Divine Phoenix Empire a year ago. No one has seen him for a whole year, and it's said he might be traveling through various countries... It can't be wrong! This person is definitely Huangfu He!"

"Phew, that's great, really great!" Xiao Tian'nan breathed a long sigh of relief, then asked cautiously, "Did you let the Black Moon Trade Union notice anything?"

Xiao Baicao replied, "Sect Master, rest assured, absolutely not. I used the reason that Young Master Xiao was severely injured and I wanted to seek the famous divine physician Huangfu He to buy the information. The news of Young Master Xiao's injury is known throughout the city, so the Black Moon Trade Union has no reason to suspect. They would never think that Huangfu He would come to Crescent Moon City... How is Young Master Xiao now? Has Huangfu He started treating him?"

Before Xiao Tian'nan could answer, the door of the alchemy hall opened, and Yun Che walked out slowly.

The two quickly approached. Xiao Tian'nan asked hopefully, "Senior, how is my son's injury..."

"He will wake up in about half a cup of tea's time. Ask him yourself. I need to rest a bit. Arrange a room for me, quiet enough. Also, prepare a pot of Clear Heart Tea and a meal for me. When I'm in the room, no one is to disturb me without my permission... Oh, and this young man's body is very weak now. Don't give him anything to eat without my permission, remember!"

Xiao Tian'nan and Xiao Baicao nodded rapidly, remembering Yun Che's words word for word. They immediately arranged a room for Yun Che. When they entered the alchemy hall, they found that Xiao Luocheng had indeed woken up.

"Father..." Seeing Xiao Tian'nan enter, Xiao Luocheng moved his body, his voice hoarse.

Xiao Tian'nan quickly walked over. Just as he was about to speak, he was surprised to find that Xiao Luocheng's complexion had improved significantly, no longer as pale as paper, but with a hint of color. His entire left arm was wrapped in a thick layer of ointment, emitting a strong, pungent smell.

"Luocheng, how do you feel now? Are you feeling any better?"

Xiao Luocheng moved his lips, and the pain from his body made his facial muscles twitch slightly, "My left arm... it hurts..."

"What? You said your left arm hurts? Really, your left arm hurts?" Hearing Xiao Luocheng's words, Xiao Baicao shouted in surprise. Xiao Tian'nan was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized that Xiao Luocheng's left arm had been broken into dozens of pieces, with nerves and meridians severed, making it impossible to feel pain... and now he was actually complaining about pain in his left arm!

Xiao Tian'nan's face showed intense excitement as he quickly grasped Xiao Luocheng's right wrist. After a short while, he stood up, so excited that he was at a loss for words: "This... this... this... Luocheng's meridians in his left arm are actually unblocked in several places, and the broken bones are all connected... The meridians in his upper body that were severed are also showing signs of life... This... This is impossible!!"

Xiao Baicao was also shocked and quickly grasped Xiao Luocheng's right wrist. After a thorough examination, he shouted in disbelief, "Divine physician... No! Holy physician! Truly worthy of the title! In just two hours, he has restored this seemingly incurable injury to this extent! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed such divine medical skills exist in the world!"

"I always thought my medical skills were quite advanced, but today, after seeing the skills of the Evilhearted Holyhand, I realize I have been like a frog at the bottom of a well. Sect Master, as I said before, not only will Young Master Xiao recover, but he might even turn this misfortune into a blessing!"

"Great, really great." Xiao Tian'nan's joy was impossible to hide, and his last bit of doubt about Yun Che's identity as the "Evilhearted Holyhand" vanished. Suppressing his excitement, he said to Xiao Luocheng, "Luocheng, rest assured, your injuries will definitely be cured."

Xiao Luocheng's face was in pain, and after a long while, he managed to force out a few words, "I will not rest until I avenge this!"

"Ha ha," Xiao Tian'nan smiled comfortingly, "That Yun Che is just a worthless life. Killing him is as easy as stepping on an ant. I originally wanted to cripple him for you, but I've changed my mind. This grudge, Luocheng, you must take personal revenge. Although your meridians and spirit veins are shattered, you no longer need to worry. Your father has found the most powerful divine physician in the Heavenly Profound Continent. Under his hands, all your injuries will heal, including your meridians and spirit veins. Moreover, this divine physician has the 'One Finger to Profound' technique. If you can win his favor, he can easily improve your talent beyond what it was before! It won't be long before you can take your revenge personally!"

"When you see him, you must respectfully call him Senior Huangfu! You must be more respectful to him than to the Grand Elder! If you can win his favor, then this severe injury will not be a disaster but a blessing! A great blessing that will make you stand out in the main sect! At that time, you might even thank that boy named Yun Che."
