Chapter 8: The Unparalleled Divine Doctor

  Leng Zhu's strength was indeed formidable, while Liu Shu Hai's marksmanship was also incredibly skilled. Since his battle with Di Shi Qi over a dozen days ago, Liu Shu Hai had carefully refined the Lei Yi Gun Technique, and now he wielded it with even greater finesse.

  But Liu Shu Hai's long spear was as agile as his own arm, the red light at the tip of the spear changed strangely, with a strange meaning, every move was fatal, in harmony with the way of heaven and earth.

  "Brush brush brush......" Although Lei's phantom body was not yet fully formed, Liu Shu Hai's figure still gave people a sense of unreality, like a dream or an illusion, true and false were hard to distinguish.

  The cold bamboo stretched out its full length to parry, the long sword fluttering as if it were a fairy, extremely nimble and lively, seemingly possessed of life.

  Fei'er kept adding fuel to Liu Shu Hai below, making Cold Bamboo's side produce a kind of clear and cold oppressive feeling.

  Suddenly, Liu Shuhai quickly changed his move, and the originally deviated long spear on Leng Zhu's side underwent a series of changes, the red light dissipated, and the long spear actually disappeared!

  Leng Zhu finally revealed a hint of fear on her face, which turned pale. Her long sword was still thrusting towards Liu Shu Hai's right shoulder, and the great force made it impossible for her to withdraw in time. At this moment, the disappearing spear reappeared and stabbed at her face.

  "Clang!" After a loud sound of metal clashing, Liu Shu Hai's long spear was already pressed against Leng Zhu's fragrant neck.

  Leng Zhu's body hastily retreated, but the long spear was step by step pressing in. Just as it reached the edge of the arena, Leng Zhu helplessly said: "I admit defeat!"

  "Liu Shu Hai wins! A reward of 20 gold coins, and promotion to the tenth rank of Bronze Stage!" The yellow diamond warrior shouted.

  Liu Shuhai smiled faintly and jumped off the stage.

  He had just used the second layer of Raijin's Phantom Body, Gun no Ki! And the third layer, Gun no Ri, hadn't been used yet.

  Leng Zhu followed Liu Shu Hai and jumped off the stage, revealing a smile colder than the winter solstice, saying to Liu Shu Hai: "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for showing mercy."

  Liu Shu Hai pulled Fei Er's hand and looked at Leng Zhu, saying: "Seeing your face is icy cold, so I carefully observed your facial features and found that your complexion has a hint of pallor, and there is some trembling in your voice, with a hoarse throat. This is the result of poor rest and excessive fatigue. These problems must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise, in the long run, your martial foundation will be damaged, and your lifespan will also end prematurely."

  Listening to Liu Shu Hai's words, Fei Er and Liu Shu Hai both revealed a hint of surprise on their faces, while Leng Zhu's body trembled with an uncontrollable excitement.

  "Then, sir, how should I solve my problem?" asked Leng Zhu with respect.

  Liu Shu Hai shouldered his long spear and smiled faintly, saying: "I'll give you twelve words: nourish your heart, regulate your emotions, balance your life."

  Having said that, Liu Shu Hai and Fei walked shoulder to shoulder towards the outside of the martial arts arena. Each participant can only participate in two matches a day, so Liu Shu Hai will have to wait until tomorrow to find new opponents.

  Leng Zhu stood alone in his original place, muttering to himself: "Nourishing the heart and spirit, regulating emotions, and adjusting life, Liu Shu Hai's superb medical skills! No way, I must try it out."

  "Sir, please wait!" Leng Zhu chased after Liu Shu Hai from behind and said.

  Liu Shu Hai turned his back on Leng Zhu and smiled faintly, saying, "Is there anything else?"

  Leng Zhu ignored the martial artists in the arena, and with a thud, he knelt down on the ground. His eyes were red as he said: "I beg of you, sir, to follow me home and help my grandfather cure his illness! Leng Zhu was extremely grateful."

  Liu Shu Hai heard the sound of kneeling down and his heart skipped a beat, but then he said: "Follow us to the Niuxuan Wine House to discuss it!"

  "Yes! Sir!"

  Leng Zhu responded with a "huh" and followed behind Liu Shu Hai.

  The distance from Bi Dou Arena to Niu Ju Lou was not far, and at Fei Er's speed, it wouldn't take half an hour to arrive, but Liu Shu Hai took a whole hour on this road.

  Leng Zhu knelt down and begged him to cure her grandfather's illness! Liu Shu Hai's mind unknowingly drifted back to his past life. He couldn't save his own loved ones, so why should he try to cure someone else? Liu Shu Hai was more than willing to give it a shot.

  There were still many pedestrians outside the wine shop, but the noise did not affect Liu Shuhai and his two companions.

  Liu Shu Hai was unhappy, Fei Er was also feeling down, and Leng Zhu became even more nervous.

  In a room on the third floor of the Inverted Halberd Wine Tower, an irregular wooden table was placed beside a messy bed. Liu Shu Hai entered and put down his long spear, sitting in the chair by the table.

  Leng Zhu excitedly held his long sword in front of his chest and stood before Liu Shu Hai, beginning to speak.

  Fei'er looked at the messy bed, pouted, walked to the bedside and randomly stacked up the quilt.

  "Master! My grandfather is already 213 years old this year, now he's old and frail, his body is weakening day by day, his lifespan is almost exhausted." Leng Zhu told Liu Shu Hai.

  Upon hearing Lin Zhu's words, Liu Shu Hai was instantly helpless. Having lived for over 200 years, he should have died already! Although he was a divine doctor, he couldn't make people immortal after all!

  "What level is your grandfather's Benming Yuandou?" Liu Shuhai raised an eyebrow and asked.

  Seeing Liu Shu Hai didn't say it couldn't be cured, Leng Zhu suddenly felt a great deal of hope and hurriedly said: "Grandfather is the second strongest after the six university deans, his life's destiny is at least a five-star green jade!"

  "Huh?" Liu Shu Hai thought, a five-star Qing Ding level warrior living for two or three hundred years was normal, so there must be a reason why Leng Zhu's grandfather's life had come to an end.

  "Then may I ask, what's your grandfather's medical history and lifestyle like?" Liu Shu Hai asked, sitting up straight.

  Leng Zhu became more and more agitated, then quickly calmed down and thought for a moment before saying: "Grandfather has been fighting with others for 200 years, his body has many old wounds, but he has never had an outbreak. Usually, Grandfather is just cultivating every day, going out to complete tasks, nothing else."

  Liu Shuhai nodded and closed his eyes in contemplation.

  At this time, Fei hugged the crooked and twisted quilt, pouted heavily, threw away the quilt and came to Liu Shuhai's side.

  "Eh! Miss! Do you live with Mr. every day?" Leng Zhu said doubtfully, and after putting down the burden in her heart, her coldness also decreased a bit.

  Fei blinked and said in an even more puzzled tone: "What's the point of not living together? Are you going to be separated?"

  Leng Zhu's forehead had countless black lines, and An Dao Fei was too naive.

  It's no wonder that Leng Zhu misunderstood. At this time, Liu Shu Hai and Fei Er were still young, but due to taking various types of "medicine" from a young age, they looked older than their actual age. Liu Shu Hai looked like he was fifteen or sixteen years old, while Fei Er looked like a young woman. Living together at this age, sleeping in the same bed, anyone would have misconceptions.

  Ten minutes later, Liu Shuhai finally opened his eyes and said, "The specifics can only be known after a diagnosis. We'll go to your house after dinner and hope your grandfather won't blame you."

  Leng Zhu smiled and said, "Thanks, sir. Although Grandpa has a bad temper, he's not a bad person, he won't make things difficult for you."

  "Hmm!" Liu Shu Hai smiled brightly and nodded his head.

  ……

  After dinner, Liu Shu Hai took out a package of silver needles from the bundle in his room and set off on the road with Fei Er and Leng Zhu.

  Leng Zhu's home was located behind the Baolong Academy, and it could be seen that their family status was extraordinary.

  Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion!

  On the wall of the Leng Zhu family, three crimson characters were carved, and a bloody aura burst forth, as if thousands of horses and soldiers were galloping in the world, with people shouting and horses neighing, killing intent.

  "Tian Sha Ge? Trouble!" Liu Shu Hai exclaimed.

  Tian Sha Ge is also known as the Law Enforcement Team. All those who violate the imperial laws are secretly dealt with by Tian Sha Ge, and for thousands of years, Tian Sha Ge has never failed.

  It is said that the Tian Sha Ge is a force controlled by the Emperor of the Flash Spirit Empire, and every member of the Tian Sha Ge is a strong person who can kill enemies across levels. As Leng Zhu's uncle is a five-star Qing Ding level warrior, he must be an important figure in the Tian Sha Ge.

  "Don't worry, sir! My grandfather stopped participating in the Tian Sha Tang's affairs a long time ago. Besides, the Tian Sha Tang wouldn't harm good people." Leng Zhu said hastily to persuade Liu Shu Hai, who had begun to show signs of retreat.

  Liu Shu smiled brightly and said, "Nothing! I just remembered some past events. I believe the Tian Sha Pavilion won't frame me for no reason. Let's go!"

  "Oh!"

  Leng Zhu nodded and walked ahead, leading the way.

  Liu Shuhai said that after all, he was still guilty of being a thief. He had killed seventeen people, and according to the empire's laws, he would have been stripped of his life and exiled to the "Chaos" Devil Sea. However, after thinking about it carefully, Liu Shuhai determined that there was no exposure and then felt at ease.

  In the vast courtyard, no one was in sight, Liu Shu Hai and Fei directly followed behind Leng Zhu up to the rooftop.

  "Knock knock knock!" Qing Zhu knocked on the door of a bedroom, and the sound echoed through the empty house.

  "Come in!" A hoarse man's voice sounded, and the door opened automatically.

  The moment the door opened, Liu Shu Hai and Fei Er immediately felt like they couldn't catch their breath. A terrifying aura burst out of the room, and Liu Shu Hai seemed to see an endless sea of blood with millions of floating corpses.

  An old man with white hair and a face full of wrinkles appeared before Liu Shu Hai, trembling slightly. This old man looked like an ordinary rural elderly man, with dull eyes, but his body naturally exuded a kind of pressure that came from being in a high position for a long time, making it impossible to ignore him.

  The astonishing aura gradually dissipated, and the old man looked at Liu Book Hai and Fei Er with some resentment towards Hanlin, saying: "What did you bring these strangers here for?"

  At this time, Liu Shu Hai still had that 'upright' and slender appearance, with a long gun slung over his back, looking 'neat' and 'straight'. Seeing the old man scolding Leng Zhu, Liu Shu Hai said: "I was invited by Miss Leng Zhu to come and treat your illness."

  "Oh?" The old man's cloudy eyes disappeared in an instant, and he said to Liu Shuhai with a sharp gaze: "My illness can't even be treated by the imperial court's royal doctor, what can you do about it, a little kid like you?"

  Just as Liu Shuhai was about to speak, the old man's eyes suddenly burst open and stared tightly at the empty space behind Liu Shuhai.

  "Rooooaaaar......" A loud dragon's roar echoed, and Elwes flapped his wings to appear out of thin air.

  "Dragon Clan!" The old man and Leng Zhu's eyes widened even more, Liu Shu Hai and Fei Er also felt a burst of surprise.

  "Elwes, when did you come?" Liu Shuhai asked in puzzlement.

  Elwes puffed out his chest and said, "You're my master! Of course I'll protect you!"

  The old man's eyes regained their turbidity and stared at Liu Shu Hai, saying, "You try punching me."

  Liu Shuhai's forehead had several more black lines on it. Looking at the old man's appearance, Liu Shuhai really couldn't bring himself to do it.

  Suddenly, the old man's figure disappeared and reappeared with a palm strike towards Liu Shuhai.

  Fei instantly drew out a long whip and was about to rush up to help Liu Shu Hai, but just then, a brilliant red light burst forth from Liu's body, his form becoming indistinct as if in a dream. The long spear behind him appeared in his hand, sweeping out countless spear "flowers".

  The long spear carried a certain special charm, transformed into a phantom-like figure, and pierced straight towards the old man.

  "Grandfather!" Leng Zhu shouted in surprise, his forehead covered with cold sweat.

  A dazzling blue light rose up, and the old man's hand revealed a whirlpool-like energy mass, rendering Liu Shuhai's attacks ineffective.

  "Haha! Good! To be able to exert such strength with the Yellow Stage Merit Method, if you can cure my illness, I'll recommend you to the Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion." The old man said with a loud laugh.

  Liu Shu Hai gave a faint smile and put his long spear back behind him, saying "I'll do my best!"

  The old man's name was Leng Tianhong, one of the three giants of the Heavenly Kill Pavilion. The entire Lingyun Empire only needs to listen to one person's command, that person is the master of the Lingyun Empire, the principal of the Royal Academy, Guo Sheng!

  Leng Tianhong took off his top under Liu Shuhai's orders, revealing the intersecting wounds, staring tightly at Liu Shuhai with an extremely tense heart.

  Liu Shu-hai slowly approached Leng Tian-hong, and when he was less than a meter away, his nose caught a faint smell of blood. Liu Shu-hai placed his hand on Leng Tian-hong's wrist, and with gentle force, he probed Leng's pulse, then proceeded to examine Leng's hands, feet, chest, and abdomen.

  "Sir! How's my grandfather?" asked Leng Zhu anxiously.

  Liu Shu Hai thought for a moment before saying to Leng Tian Hong: "Lord Leng! You haven't stabilized your realm after each breakthrough, have you? Every time you advance, the body's functions will be greatly improved, and some toxins will be eliminated. However, if the realm is not stabilized, these toxins will accumulate in your blood vessels. Your current blood vessels are filled with countless toxins. If these toxins are not completely removed, your realm will stagnate, and your body will be destroyed by these toxins, leading to a significant reduction in lifespan and premature aging."

  Listening to Liu Shu Hai's words, Leng Tian Hong was getting more and more shocked. What Liu Shu Hai said was completely true. As the head of the Heavenly Murder Pavilion, he had to oversee everything, busy to the point of being unable to rest, where would he have time to solidify his boundary? Yet, he didn't think that such a small matter would actually threaten his life.

  "Excuse me, sir! How can I be cured of my illness? If it's successful, I will definitely thank you again." Leng Tianhong said sincerely. Leng Zhu also stared at him with tense eyes.

  Liu Shu Hai pulled Fei Er's hand and said, "Give us some time, I will go configure some spiritual medicine prescriptions, then every day I will come here to give you acupuncture once, should be able to cure it."

  Leng Tian Hong suddenly stood up and said: "Good! As long as it's effective, I'll teach you a 'door' level late-stage technique!"

  Liu Shuhai's heart was secretly excited, but he smiled faintly and said, "Alright! We'll take our leave first, I'll come again tomorrow."

  "Hmm!" Leng Tianhong nodded and sat back down.

  Liu Shu Hai nodded towards Leng Zhu and then left with Fei Er.

  "Whoosh!" Elwes spread his wings and vanished in a flash.
