The boy led Acheng away from the Lotus Realm and arrived at a pavilion surrounded by clouds and mist.

The man strolling towards them from afar wore a white robe, his figure ethereal, his long white hair flowing over his shoulders, shimmering slightly.

"Master," the boy said respectfully, bowing his head.

The white-robed man waved his sleeve, and two gusts of wind emerged from the cuffs, carrying the boy and A-Cheng away.

Amidst the misty clouds, the boy followed the man as they walked among the clouds, and soon they landed on a mountain peak.

The boy watched as the man carried Acheng away and placed him in the medicine pool.

That medicinal pool was specially built for A-Cheng. Not to mention the rare and precious materials it contains, the spiritual energy surrounding it alone took a lot of effort.

Whenever A-Cheng faints, he has to soak in this medicinal pool for forty-nine days.

Because of his special constitution, he may experience various reactions during the medicinal bath, sometimes even feeling unbearable pain. This is why we said before that Acheng was going to suffer again.

The boy frowned as he looked at Acheng, who was motionless and unresponsive in the pool. He then turned to the man and pleaded, "Master, do you still have that red peony that the Medicine Fairy gave us last year? Could you give some to Acheng?"

Red peony, a sacred herb of celestial quality, takes a thousand years to grow and ten thousand years to mature. The Medicine Fairy's Garden of Ten Thousand Herbs possessed only one such plant. It was once given to the Healer as a token of their love, and she later said she would give the entire Garden of Ten Thousand Herbs as part of her dowry to Flowing Cloud Peak. Of course, these are all matters of the Healer's romantic escapades, and will not be discussed further here.

The man in white robes reached out and slapped the boy on the head, saying, "You brat, always running around Lotus Realm, causing trouble for your master. Red Peony was a token of love from your future master's wife to your master, and you've used it up time and time again like this, boohoo..." He then pretended to cry, but there wasn't a single tear in his eyes.

However, he truly doted on this disciple.

He uttered words of disdain, but his hands didn't exert much force.

He took out the remaining third of the red peony root, then took another third and threw it into the medicinal pool. He glanced at the unconscious A-Cheng, sighed, and said, "This child is pitiful. He's had this ailment since birth and has already suffered a lot. My red peony root is only treating the symptoms, not the root cause..."

He is Chu Yunci, the Immortal Physician of Liuyun Peak. Originally a mortal, he possesses the virtue of healing the sick and saving lives.

He saved countless lives throughout his life, and in every reincarnation, he became a doctor.

Therefore, Heaven was moved, and in his old age, as he entered the cycle of reincarnation, he was summoned by the gods. They bestowed upon him a Flowing Cloud Immortal Mountain, also known as "Flowing Cloud Peak," and the title "Healer Immortal."

He has earned the reputation of "healing people in the mortal realm after nine cycles of cultivation, and ascending to immortality out of gratitude for his kindness."

The boy was his disciple and the son of the Lord of the Li Continent, which is why the Lotus God addressed him as "Your Highness".

"Master, why does Acheng get sick so easily?" This question had been bothering the boy for a long time. He knew that the boy had a poor constitution, but he didn't expect that it would be so bad that he would catch a cold and faint just from getting wet.

If he had known, he wouldn't have let him hide in the Lotus Canal...

The healer glanced at him, staring into those eyes for a long time, finding them clear and pure. Finally, she spoke, "The story begins when I first ascended to the realm of gods..."

At that time, he had just ascended to immortality.

Upon arriving, he looked at the grand hall shrouded in ethereal mist and bathed in rosy light, and hesitated, unsure of which way to proceed.

At this moment, a refined-looking man carrying a folding fan walked over, tapped him on the shoulder with his fan, and said with a smile, "This fellow immortal has just ascended here?"

He was somewhat apprehensive and wanted to bow, but he was unfamiliar with the etiquette of the divine realm and feared he might overstep his bounds, so he gave up and simply bowed slightly, saying, "Indeed, does this immortal friend know how to get to the 'Mixu Palace'?"

Not knowing the other party's identity, it seems correct to address myself as "fellow immortal" like he did.

The man chuckled, closed his folding fan, patted the man's shoulder, and casually turned him towards the exit, saying, "Coincidentally, I'm also going to the Mixu Palace. How about we travel together?"

He was flattered and replied, "Okay."

When the two arrived at the Mixu Palace, he learned that he was actually the Star God.

The Star God governs the stars of the six realms.

Before he ascended, the fairy who guided him told him that after arriving in the realm of gods, he must never offend the "Five Gods and Three Flowers," as this was related to his future "calamities" in the realm of gods.

In the past, people were bound by their own destiny in the human world. Today, those who ascend to immortality also face the "calamities" of being immortals or gods.

However, this "calamity" is a little different. Most of the "calamities" among immortals are the difficulties of "crossing tribulations" that they need to go through when their immortal fortune is full and they ascend again.

Throughout history, countless deities have experienced tribulations, including heavenly tribulations, lightning tribulations, love tribulations, and many other kinds of tribulations.

There is also the saying "to be with those you hate, to be separated from those you love, and to not get what you want." This is the third of the eight sufferings. Not getting what you want, being with those you hate, and not being able to be with those you love are all suffering.

In addition, there is birth, old age, sickness, and death, plus the suffering of the five aggregates.

The root of suffering lies in the five aggregates: form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. These aggregates obscure and block out the true nature, thus giving rise to the other seven sufferings.

These "Five Gods and Three Flowers" will directly determine whether you will experience one suffering or all eight sufferings in the future.

And now, this "Five Gods and Three Flowers" has encountered one of them—the Star God.

Fortunately, I behaved reasonably well and didn't have any conflict with them.

Chu Yunci's heart was pounding.

The Star God, however, was completely unconcerned about his noble status. He kindly said to Chu Yunci, "Alright, fellow immortal, this is the Mixu Palace. After registering your immortal status, you will become a member of our God Realm."

He nodded blankly. Entering, registering, receiving the badge, leaving... all of this was done in the excitement of "the Star God, one of the 'Five Gods and Three Flowers,' spoke to me."

Later, Liuyun Peak came into being, and the later Immortal Physician came into being.

...

After listening for a while, the boy asked anxiously, "Master, these are all your stories. What I want to know is about A-Cheng."

The healer reached out and patted the boy's head again, saying irritably, "What I'm telling you now are all necessary plot points. Have you ever read a storybook? Don't storybooks always have a 'previous episode summary'?"

The boy pouted and said, "Master, you're so old, aren't you ashamed to still be reading storybooks?"

The healer, feigning anger, flicked his sleeves and said, "What do you know? The stories in those tales are all the essence. When your master was practicing medicine all over the world in my early years, my favorite thing was those tales. Let me tell you, those tales..."

"Stop! Stop it!" The boy quickly covered the doctor's mouth, stopping him from continuing his "science popularization segment".

"Alright, alright, alright. You haven't improved much in alchemy, but you've certainly improved in bullying old folks." The healer put the boy's hand down, beckoned him to massage his shoulders, and acted quite arrogantly, as if taking advantage of his age.

The boy was somewhat reluctant, and was about to say that the doctor was denying his age one minute and then claiming to be an old man to take advantage of his age, but he was eager to know Ah Hu's condition, so he followed the doctor's instructions and started to "massage" him.

Of course, only he and his healers knew the force with which he struck.
