Chapter 2: Genius Doctor

  It was only on the second day, early in the morning, that Gu Yun's parents took little Gu Yun to a pool of water at the back of the forest. Above this pool was a large waterfall from the top of the mountain, and the huge flow of water hit a giant rock below, splashing up a mist of water.

  After bringing Gu Yun to a clearing in front of the Shui Tang, Gu Feng took out two books from his bosom.

  That's right, it's two books. You should know that in this entire empire, even the entire continent, the cultivation methods are all recorded on jade slips during the true cultivation era. When cultivating, as long as your divine sense enters the jade slip, the method will naturally appear in your mind, and you won't forget it either.

  As for these two books, it's clear that they were left behind a long time ago, but there is no damage to them at all.

  One was very thin, with the four characters "Nine Turns Golden Body" written in small seal script on the cover, obviously the variable external skill that Gu Feng and others had mentioned. The other one was much thicker than the first one, and it was actually the treasure of the Medical God Sect, the Medical Classic.

  No one knows how Gu Feng took this medical classic out of the Medical God's Gate, and ran a round trip from here to the Medical God's Gate, which is tens of thousands of miles away, in just one night.

  At the same time, the Medical God's Gate suddenly erupted, and nine white-haired old men were standing in a grand hall. The first one was wearing purple clothes, and his eyes scanned the eight old men behind him like electricity.

  This is the current master of the Medical God's Gate, now the only one in the empire who has reached the realm of Sacred Hand, Ren Cang Ran.

  The eight standing behind him were the eight great elders of the Medical God Gate, all of whom were medical cultivators in the Returning Spring Realm.

  These people in the empire were all the kind of dragons that only show their heads but not their tails, but now they are all here.

  Under the gaze of Ren Yanran, the eight great elders all involuntarily shrunk their necks.

  Under the eyelids of these eight people, the town's treasure of the Medical God Sect was stolen away, and yet they still knew nothing about it, which really made them also feel hard to believe.

  Don't look at them without any attacking spells, but the strength of their divine sense is rare in the imperial boundary cultivators. Under the scan of their eight divine senses, even a Mahayana period master would find it difficult to surpass, let alone the various formations that are hard to defend against around them.

  But now the person who came was quietly stealing the medical book, and on that iron-made platform, he carved eight big characters: "Borrowing a book for use will surely return".

  "This guy is too arrogant," Just as the eight great elders thought this at the same time, Ren Cang Ran spoke up and said: "Great Elder, what do you think about this matter?"

  After finishing speaking, he stared at an old man wearing white clothes behind him.

  "This person's cultivation is extremely high, probably even surpassing some of the top masters of the Mahayana period. I'm afraid only those people from 'that group' might have such strength. But what's the point of them stealing our medical classics?"

  As soon as the Great Elder mentioned those people, the expressions of others also became unnatural. In the eyes of the world, a Mahayana period expert is already a top-notch figure.

  But they knew that a master of Mahayana period was just a trivial matter in the eyes of those old monsters who had lived for thousands of years, and could be dealt with in just a few moves.

  "What do you think the elders should do about this?" Hearing the Great Elder say this, Ren Cang Ran could only sigh in his heart. Although they were now a super sect, those old monsters would not put them in their eyes at all.

  "In my opinion, this matter can only be treated as if it never happened. After all, with our strength, we have no way of taking things back from his hands. Most importantly, until now, we still don't know who did this thing, and even if we want to take action, there's nowhere to start." The Great Elder spoke up after hearing Ren Cang Ran's question.

  Upon hearing the elder's words, the others immediately echoed in agreement. Under their eight-person mental scan, they stealthily took away what they were guarding without anyone noticing. After all, it wasn't a glorious thing to do, and they naturally didn't want to make a big deal out of it either.

  In addition to the cultivation method of Hui Chun True Qi of the Medical God Sect, other things in the medical classics are some spiritual medicines' effects and pictures, as well as some pill medicines' formulas and treatments for difficult and miscellaneous diseases.

  After so many years of research, the contents inside have been thoroughly studied by them. It is called the treasure of the town gate and placed here mainly for commemorative significance. After all, the founder of the Medical God's Gate also created the Medical God's Gate because he obtained the medical classics. Losing it would not be a fatal loss for them.

  Seeing that all eight elders said so, Ren Cang Ran naturally also knew their thoughts, but this matter he couldn't think of a better solution either, the other party's strength was right there after all?

  Now you don't even know who is which one, how can you find them?

  "Now all I can hope for is that the senior will return it after use as he said." Looking at the eight characters on the table, Ren Canglan sighed again in his heart.

  "Alright, let's just leave it at that. You all can go back now." After saying this, Ren Cang Ran turned around and walked out of the grand hall.

  The eight elders exchanged a glance and followed him out of the grand hall.

  Only if they knew their town's treasure was now in the hands of someone they considered a good-for-nothing.

  Of course, whether it is really a waste of time is another matter altogether.

  Now, in a settlement town thousands of miles away from them, Gu Feng held their town's treasure and an external skill manual, facing a child who was only five years old, saying: "Xiao Yun, if you want to survive now, you must make your body even stronger, and this process will be extremely painful. Can you hold on?"

  Xiao Gu Yun nodded firmly.

  From then on, a small figure appeared every day in the empty space next to this small pond, running with weight, squatting horse steps, standing upside down, practicing whatever could increase physical strength.

  After practicing, Yu Gu Feng taught him to cultivate the Nine Turns Golden Body Technique here.

  The Nine-Turn Golden Body Secret actually has only three realms: Dharma Image Golden Body, Indestructible Diamond Golden Body, and Indestructible Golden Body.

  Each boundary is divided into three turns, for a total of nine turns. The cultivation method is simple, which is to introduce the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the physical body and continuously temper every strand of flesh and blood.

  Of course, the refinement is absolutely unbearable, just like countless ants gnawing at their own flesh and blood. Every time they reach the peak of a turn to cultivate the next turn, they have to shatter their physical body and then reintroduce the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to recreate a stronger physique.

  This kind of heart-wrenching pain is not something that everyone can bear, so Gu Yun's parents would worry that he wouldn't be able to withstand this suffering.

  But for Gu Yun, this was an unavoidable method. His Yin-Yang Absolute Devouring Body had not yet erupted, but once the energy in his meridians reached a certain level and the two energies clashed, if his body's meridians were not strong enough, he would likely die instantly from severed meridians, and the pain at that time would be even more unbearable than cultivating the Nine Turns Golden Body Technique.

  It's better to let him strengthen his body while slowly adapting to the pain, and more importantly, when he uses the Nine Turns Golden Body Technique, his physical body will absorb most of the heavenly spiritual energy, reducing the amount of energy absorbed by his Yin-Yang Absolute Devouring Body from the meridians, delaying the time it takes for the two energies to collide.

  When his body was able to withstand the explosion of these two energies, then his life would be temporarily worry-free. As long as he could continue to cultivate his Golden Body Technique, he would always be free from worries about his life.

  Although the process was painful, it's still better than being killed directly.

  Stealing the medical classics is because the Rejuvenating True Qi of a medical cultivator can alleviate the physical pain during the cultivation of the Nine Turns Golden Body Technique, and also repair the damaged parts of the body.

  It also made it a bit easier for Gu Yun to cultivate the Nine Turns Golden Body Technique.

  After twelve years of cultivation, the weak and small Gu Yun from back then is now a well-known doctor in the town. His medical skills have already reached the level of a master physician, which is unprecedented in the entire empire.

  In the imperial capital, even the youngest medical practitioners who have reached the Medical Master realm are in their fifties or sixties. Yet Gu Yun has achieved this at just seventeen years old. It's unimaginable how sensational it would be if people were to find out.

  Ancient Cloud was completely unaware of these, he is now running on the grass by the side of the pond with a huge stone in his hand, this huge stone looks at least several thousand catties in weight, but in his hand it seems to be lifted without any weight.

  If this were seen by others, it would likely be astonishing again. Although the power of a cultivator is strong, their physical strength is not necessarily great.

  It is said that this behavior of running with several thousand catties of heavy objects in their hands is also unbelievable to them.

  After running, the time was almost noon. Looking up at the sun in the sky, Gu Yun muttered to himself, "The hellish life is about to start again, alas, when will this kind of day end?"

  After finishing speaking, he took off his outer clothes and only wore a pair of underwear, swimming to the giant rock at the bottom of the waterfall, sitting cross-legged on it. The waterfall that fell straight from the top of the peak couldn't even wash him away from the smooth boulder, nor was he injured by the tremendous force, showing how strong his body was.

  When the sun reached its peak, Gu Yun's body also began to change. His body slowly turned red, like a piece of iron that had been heated to a high temperature. When the water flowed onto his body, it even evaporated into steam, clearly being vaporized away.

  It was actually in the fifth year after he cultivated the Nine Turns Golden Body Technique and the Rejuvenating True Qi that his Yin-Yang Absolute Devouring Body began to erupt, and his Nine Turns Golden Body Technique also broke through at that time, cultivating to the realm of the second turn.

  In the following days, every time it reached noon when the yang energy was at its peak, the yang energy in his body would erupt, making his entire body feel like it was burning in a sea of fire.

  At midnight when the yin energy is at its peak, it's also the time when the yin energy in his body explodes. At that moment, he would be trapped in a thousand years of icy coldness.

  So he would borrow this waterfall at noon to warm himself up while using the Rejuvenating True Energy to repair his damaged meridians and body from the high temperature.

  Of course, accompanied by him is also that piercing pain. At night, it's doing the same thing in a completely opposite environment, the only difference being one is high temperature and the other is freezing.

  He regained his vitality and true energy in this inhuman torment, becoming more and more profound. It's not surprising that he can reach such a realm at this age with his medical skills.
