AST 2405 - Sacred Blue Immortal Grass, Head to the Demon Gate

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 .

"Although this thing is very precious, it isn't that rare . Forsaken Heaven City's auction halls or some bigger medicinal halls should have them . However, it’s hard to say if you'll be able to buy them . It's very precious and not many people know how to utilize it . However, everyone knows that it's something precious . If you can offer good conditions, it shouldn't be hard to get . " Qing Shui said after giving it some thought .

After hearing Qing Shui say that, everyone felt more assured . They immediately sent people out to search for the Sacred Blue Immortal Grass .

The reason Qing Shui wanted the Sacred Blue Immortal Grass wasn't for treating the Palace Lord's injuries . With his medical skills and the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal's Flower of Life and Spring of Life, he would be able to treat him with relative ease . However, he still had to act as if he were doing something . Moreover, he happened to need the Sacred Blue Immortal Grass . It wasn't that much to ask as compensation .

Qing Shui then started to treat the Palace Lord, applying the Gold Needle Acupuncture . He first treated one of the Palace Lord's major internal organs . After doing so, he would be able to use the theory of mutual reinforcement to continue the treatment using the Five Elements Divine Needle .

After bringing out a drop of the Spring of Life and dissolving a Flower of Life into it, he let the Palace Lord consume it . He then used his powerful vitality and Force of Rebirth to heal the Palace Lord's body .  

Even Qing Shui wasn't able to cure this condition instantly . He would still need some time to do so . It wasn't that he wasn't putting in his utmost effort . Even though his medical skills were extraordinary, he wasn't a god . Moreover, there were no gods in this world .

After a series of treatments, the Palace Lord's condition and mental state was clearly a lot better . Most importantly, he wasn't hurting as much .

"Palace Lord Tang!"

"Brother, I'm called Tang Yude . You can just call me Old Tang," The man was very forthright and said to Qing Shui, who was preparing a prescription for him .

"Then I'll call you Brother Tang . "

"Alright, alright . Brother, your medical skills are really amazing . There was an old physician who said that even an immortal wouldn't be able to cure me," Tang Yude exclaimed .

"You flatter me . Right, Brother, I want to find out about the situation you encountered back then," Qing Shui said casually .

"Sigh, the Divine Palace and the Demon Gate have been evenly matched all along . Although we've always had numerous small clashes, we've basically never had an all-out battle . Both parties are aware that we aren't able to destroy each other . However, a number of Demon Kings appeared one day and they are very powerful . They control the current Demon Gate and even the previous Sect Leader was willing to become their subordinate . They then brought people to the Divine Palace . In particular, she is very strong and is top notch in the Forsaken Heaven Region . I'm also at the maximum level, but I'm still a far cry from her . Her destructive power is very terrifying . . .

"Then why did she stop?" After hearing Tang Yude's words, Qing Shui knew that it wasn't impossible for Tantai Lingyan to wipe out the Divine Palace . However, after Tang Yude was seriously injured, she suddenly left with her people . Qing Shui was very curious why she did that .

"I have no idea either . I only know that back then, she fell into a short daze when she saw the sword in her hands . " Tang Yude tried to recall what happened .

Qing Shui knew that the sword was something he had given her .

Qing Shui left the Divine Palace . He didn't need to see Tang Yude everyday, but it was still necessary for him to see him once every few days . After leaving the Divine Palace, Qing Shui headed straight for the Demon Gate . With his current capabilities, he wasn't afraid of anyone in the Forsaken Heaven City . He wanted to take a look at Tantai Lingyan . He must see her .

The Divine Palace wasn't that close to the Demon Gate . However, it wasn't far by Qing Shui’s standards . Therefore, it didn't take him long before he arrived at the Demon Gate . The Demon Gate was also located on the Sky Mountain .

The Demon Gate's buildings were different from the Divine Palace's . This was a manor with extravagant buildings . There were pavilion buildings, all sorts of plants including flowers and trees, as well as ponds and fake mountains . From afar, it looked like a huge royal palace .

The closer Qing Shui got to the Demon Gate, the more agitated he felt . However, at the thought of Tantai Lingyan not recognizing him, he felt a little upset . In the past, he had chased her for ten years, twenty years, thirty years . . . before he eventually succeeded . Although she had not married him, their relationship was confirmed and they were only short of completing the wedding and having sex .

However, he hadn't expected for things to turn out like this . It had been some time since they had parted ways—two or three years ago . Qing Shui had no idea if she still looked the same as when they last met .
