The central area of the Yun family was completely silent. Yun Qinghong was so worried that he even built a huge isolation barrier. The entire Yun family looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The Little Demon Queen, Yun Che, and Yun Gu were the only ones in the main hall.
"Senior Medical Saint, she..."
“No need to say anything.” Yun Gu smiled and did not let Yun Che explain the Little Demon Queen’s condition. He stretched out a pair of slightly pale hands and said, “Let me feel her pulse first. Little Demon Queen, please rest assured. I have always felt the pulse of women through the air. Just slow down her breathing and that will be fine.”
“Thank you.” The Little Demon Queen glanced at Yun Che and spoke calmly. From her expression, it was clear that she did not hold out the slightest hope. Because it was the Golden Crow Spirit who said that she only had three years left to live.
How can mortals interfere with the consequences of an event that even the Golden Crow Spirit says is incurable and interrupted?
Yun Gu stopped talking. He closed his old eyes and made a peculiar gesture with his fingers. A gentle mysterious energy immediately flowed into the Little Demon Queen’s meridians.
Yun Che held his breath beside him, his whole body as if nailed to the ground, motionless, afraid to make even the slightest sound.
Surprisingly, the pulse diagnosis took a very short time. After just a dozen breaths, Yun Gu's eyes slowly opened and his palms were lowered.
“Senior…how is it?” Yun Che asked hurriedly.
"..." Yun Gu was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "He was obsessed with pursuing a powerful force that his own Xuanmai could not bear, so he had to use his life vein as a common carrier. Now, his life vein has been almost half exhausted. If it continues like this, it will be completely exhausted within two years."
“…” Yun Gu’s words finally caused the Little Demon Queen’s eyes to waver. This was because this was a secret that only she and Yun Che knew, and it was a secret that involved the power of the divine way. This old man with only a mortal body had only diagnosed the pulse for a short period of more than ten breaths, and he had predicted it exactly.
“Right, that’s it.” Yun Che nodded quickly. “Due to special reasons, she forced herself to bear the power that her own profound veins could not bear in order to quickly gain powerful profound energy. As a result, she only has about three years left to live… Senior Medical Saint, do you have any way to save her?”
“If the life essence carried by the life vein is likened to a red candle, then a normal person’s red candle will burn slowly along with the wick, but her red candle, because the life vein is forced to become a carrier of power, is like being thrown into a sea of fire, and the life essence is burned quickly. It’s about the life vein and the life essence... It’s difficult, very difficult.” Yun Gu sighed heavily.
“…Is it possible that even you, Senior, can’t do anything about it?” Yun Che said with a heavy heart.
Yun Gu shook his head, but smiled faintly: "I just said it's difficult, but I didn't say it can't be cured."
Yun Gu’s words were undoubtedly heavenly music to Yun Che. He threw himself in front of Yun Gu and said excitedly, “Senior, you… you are saying… you are saying that you have a way to save her?”
The Little Demon Queen who had been sitting there quietly also slowly stood up. Although her youthful face was still majestic, something was clearly trembling in the depths of her eyes.
Yun Gu's face was solemn. He stood up and walked slowly, looking like he was deep in thought. Yun Che, who was a complete devil in front of others, was like a child listening to a lesson at this moment. He followed Yun Gu step by step and listened to his story: "It is not uncommon to sacrifice one's life in exchange for a sudden increase in profound strength in a short period of time. Although the methods are different, the root principles are roughly the same. Some are at the cost of severely damaging the profound veins, some are at the cost of severely damaging the essence and blood, and some are by changing the connection between the profound veins and the life veins, at the cost of causing the life essence to be extremely rapidly depleted, so that the life vein and the profound vein can jointly carry the power that the profound vein cannot bear."
Yun Che nodded repeatedly. The Little Demon Queen belonged to the third category. Although she knew the consequences, she did not hesitate in order to seek revenge and regain the power and dignity of the Demon Emperor’s lineage.
“However, the Little Demon Queen’s condition is a thousand times more extreme than any other case I have ever seen in my life,” Yun Gu sighed.
"Although the Life Vein and the Profound Vein are originally connected, they are only connected in form but their Qi is different. However, the Qi of the Little Demon Queen's Life Vein and the Profound Vein have completely merged into one. It seems that the power she forcibly carried at the beginning must have been too strong. If it was only slightly connected, she could have wasted her profound strength and prolonged her life. However, her Life Vein and the Profound Vein have completely become one. Even if she wastes all her profound strength, she can only live a few more months."
Yun Che nodded again. If destroying the profound strength could stop the loss of the Little Demon Queen’s life essence, why would Yun Che be so obsessed with it until now? With him around, it didn’t matter if the Little Demon Queen became a cripple.
Yun Gu glanced at Yun Che and said with a smile: “Little brother, it seems that you already know what I just said.”
Yun Che nodded and said, “I am somewhat knowledgeable about medicine, and I know her condition better than anyone else. In my humble opinion, the only way to save her is to try my best to increase her lifespan. However, no matter how hard I try, even if I use all the available resources in the Illusory Demon Realm, it will only be a drop in the bucket.
When he asked Jasmine about it, Jasmine told him two methods. One was to wait until his Great Dao Fu Tu Jue reached a sufficient level and then extend the lifespan of the Little Demon Queen. The other was to find the Grand Meng Seal of Life and Death and allow the Little Demon Queen to have an infinite lifespan that would never run out. These all fell within the scope of what Yun Che described.
Yun Gu stopped walking and said with a smile, "Have you ever thought of another method, which is to drain all her profound energy first, and then separate the energy of her life vein and profound vein again."
Yun Che was stunned for a moment, and said, “If we can separate the Qi of the life vein and the profound vein again, it would of course be the most perfect solution. But… but this is simply impossible. Her life vein and profound vein are by no means partially connected, but are completely connected as one. If we try to forcibly separate her Qi strands one by one, it will not only be extremely difficult, but if we are not careful, it will cause her Qi to be in chaos… and kill her instantly.”
“Could it be…” Yun Che suddenly became alert and said, “Senior, do you know how to separate the Profound Vein and Life Vein again?”
Yun Gu neither nodded nor shook his head, but continued: "The human body can be regarded as an independent and complete small world. Since it is complete and independent, it will never escape the law of cause and effect. If it can be smooth, it must be reversed. If it can be integrated, it must be separated. This is also the foundation of the medical classics that this old man has studied."
This is also the basis of medical theory that Yun Che learned from Yun Gu. In simple terms, there is no disease in the world that cannot be cured. If there is, it is just that the cure has not yet been found.
"If it were a few months ago, I would definitely not be able to separate the life veins and profound veins that were forcibly fused by external force. Just three months ago, I finally realized a medical classic that I had been puzzled about for decades..."
Yun Gu seemed to be immersed in his own medical theory, and could not help but recite: "At the beginning of life, the circling circle leads to the void, the meridians are sealed according to the rules, and life and death are contrary to reason, so yin yang yang, yang yang yin yin..."
“Jie is the beginning of cessation, Duo is the flourishing of it, the breath of man is weak and responds to the way of the whole body…” Listening to Yun Gu’s mumbling, Yun Che’s consciousness gradually became hazy, and the scene of his master teaching him to recite the “Heavenly Dao Medical Classic” and put it on the bookshelf gradually emerged in front of his eyes, and he couldn’t help but follow the mumbling.
Until Yun Gu stopped talking, Yun Che continued to recite in a somewhat absent-minded manner: “Sakura is peaceful, chaos is turbid, yin is smooth and life is smooth, yang is fierce and vigorous…”
When he suddenly woke up, Yun Gu's face had completely lost its calmness, and he was looking at him in shock: "Little brother, you... why do you know the Tiandao Medical Classic?"
“…” Yun Che opened his mouth and could only force an explanation: “Junior… when I was studying medicine, I studied the Heavenly Dao Medical Classic. Could it be that you, senior, are also studying the Heavenly Dao Medical Classic? That’s such a coincidence. Junior and senior really have a deep connection. It seems that there is more than one Heavenly Dao Medical Classic in the world. However, my medical practice is shallow. Although I have read the Heavenly Dao Medical Classic well, I cannot comprehend many of the scriptures in it. I am completely confused by the medical classic you just recited. Could it be that you have already understood it thoroughly?”
This passage of medical classics was beyond the comprehension of not only him, but also his former master Yun Gu, who was unable to comprehend it until he passed away.
Could it be that in this life, he has already understood everything?
"So that's how it is." Although Yun Gu was still shocked, he did not delve further and continued, "This passage of medical classics contains the origin of all the qi in the human body. I have studied it for half my life and just realized that the key lies in 'yin yin yang yang' and 'yang yang yin yin'. If you understand the principle, then to separate the qi of the mysterious vein and the life vein, although the process is difficult and long, it is by no means impossible."
Although he had no idea what the true medical principles contained in that medical scripture were, since Yun Gu had said so, it proved that the Little Demon Queen could really be saved.
Yun Che was overjoyed and said excitedly, “Senior, please use your divine hand to save the Little Demon Queen.”
Yun Gu shook his head slightly: "After all, I am a man. Even if I know the truth, I can't do it. I can only teach others."
Yun Che quickly knelt down on one knee and said solemnly, “Junior Yun Che, I wish to take you as my master. Please grant me your blessing.”
"This... hehe," Yun Gu said with a faint smile, "Little brother, you get up first. I said I couldn't do it, not because of the suspicion of men and women, but for other reasons. As for becoming your disciple, it is absolutely not allowed. You have clear eyes and no evil thoughts, but you have a very strong evil spirit in your body. You may become a hero in the future, but you are definitely not suitable for practicing medicine."
"..." Yun Che stood up, his face sad and his heart filled with guilt. Yes, he could never go back to the state of mind he had when he traveled around the world with his master... He could never go back.
The Yun Che at that time was devoted to the pursuit of medicine, and his greatest wish was to surpass his master in medical skills, to receive his master’s praise, and to save more people... and the Yun Che now, he was from completely different worlds.
Now, he really couldn't expect Yun Gu to accept him as a disciple again.
[Wow, I just wanted to make up a bunch of nonsense, but it only took one chapter? ]
[Forget it, let’s just leave it at that…]
