“I know that Heaven cherishes life, but you’ve tried so many methods just now, and you still couldn’t wake him up. Why should we get involved in this mess?”
No one else dared to refute Xie Zhou's words, but Elder Wang still did not give up trying to persuade him.
"I think your real intention isn't to kill him, but to question my medical skills! Are you afraid that my reputation is higher than yours?"
Xie Zhou's eyes were filled with coldness, and his gaze swept over everyone, causing them to shiver involuntarily.
Xie Zhou's gaze finally settled on Elder Wang.
"I absolutely did not mean that. Please don't misunderstand. I misspoke just now! You are a magnanimous person, please don't hold it against me."
"Besides, we have all witnessed your medical skills. With your superb medical skills and extraordinary medical knowledge, how could I possibly doubt you!"
Everyone in the Sword Sect knows that Xie Zhou's medical skills are one of her bottom lines. If anyone doubts Xie Zhou's medical skills, it is very possible that she will turn on them on the spot.
Given their current situation, how could they dare to turn against Xie Zhou? Therefore, Elder Wang had no choice but to change his mind.
"That's good. You can say my skills aren't high, but you absolutely can't say my medical skills are bad. Besides, I have this!"
Xie Zhou casually took out a stack of ancient books, each one of which caught the eye of the Sword Sect members.
"I never imagined that the 'Tales of the Nine Cauldrons' really existed. It is said to record extraordinary people and events from various places."
"Isn't it said that there is only one copy of this book in the world? Many high-ranking officials and nobles have spent a lot of money but still couldn't find its whereabouts. I never expected that this unique copy would reappear here."
"You ignorant people, didn't you see that book below called 'The Difficulties of the Heart'? That's the most powerful one. It records all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases."
"My goodness! I heard from storytellers that this book is supposed to be extinct. If I could just catch a glimpse of it, I could become a renowned doctor and never have my furnace explode again when I'm refining medicine."
The stack of ancient books in Xie Zhou's hands successfully attracted the attention of many people present, who, who were originally standing in neat rows, gathered around Xie Zhou.
This resulted in many shorter disciples being squeezed out of the encirclement. Some disciples were unwilling to give up and hopped and skipped outside the encirclement, just to be able to see what was happening inside.
Some disciples even tried to fly on their swords, but some were not skilled enough and could not even fly to a height of half a person's height, falling down again and again, and continuing to try.
"You use ivory to read these ancient books?"
Xie Zhou was surrounded by a huge crowd, which made her somewhat annoyed.
It was just a random reward from the system, but I never expected it to cause so many people to lose control of their expressions, turning them into memes of shock.
"Who wouldn't want it? But I know my own limitations. If such a valuable book falls into my hands, it will probably attract a lot of people to fight over it. I might even lose my life."
"So I have a small request: could I help you look for it? If you're willing, I'll be at your beck and call from now on!"
One of the Sword Sect disciples nodded frantically, his eyes flashing at Xie Zhou.
"Are your eyes bothering you? Remember to see a doctor. I don't have time to treat you right now. Besides, even if I don't agree, you still let me do whatever I want, don't you?"
Xie Zhou didn't even bother to lift his head.
"That seems to be true!"
The disciple nodded upon hearing this.
"Alright, stop crowding around me, you're hurting my eyes."
"Senior brother, why don't you help us look too!"
Xie Zhou handed Luo Fantian several ancient books and said in a serious tone.
Luo Fantian nodded.
Seeing this, the Sword Sect members could only stand guard around the area.
They dared not offer to help Xie Zhou find it, since the ancient book in Xie Zhou's possession looked very valuable, and they were afraid that Xie Zhou would overthink it.
They dared not leave directly, for fear of making a commotion and disturbing Xie Zhou and Luo Fantian's peace.
Xie Zhou took the opportunity to quickly peruse the ancient books.
"Got it!"
As Xie Zhou was carefully flipping through the pages, he heard Luo Fantian exclaim in surprise.
"read!"
Xie Zhou raised his eyes and glanced at Luo Fantian.
"This is an extreme heat ailment. Those afflicted with it will experience a rapid change in complexion, alternating between red and blue. To cure it, one needs to..."
Luo Fantian glanced at Xie Zhou after reading this part, but did not continue reading.
"Senior brother, what do you need?"
Seeing that Luo Fantian's expression was strange, Xie Zhou asked him a question while taking the medical book from Luo Fantian's hand.
"A python's heart is needed as a medicinal ingredient."
Xie Zhou snatched the medical book and continued reading.
"Pythons are too ferocious. If you accidentally get bitten, it could be disastrous. You are the best doctor here, so you must not suffer any mishaps. You stay here, and I will go and get the python's heart!"
Since Luo Fantian couldn't hide it any longer, he simply volunteered, as long as Xie Zhou was safe.
"Senior brother, don't underestimate me. I know you are highly skilled, but your junior sister is no pushover either."
"Besides, didn't you say that we, as fellow disciples, would go and return together? Do you really intend to abandon me now?"
Xie Zhou quickly retorted.
"I remember now, those primeval forests are full of pythons, let's go take a look!"
Xie Zhou's eyes lit up, and he immediately made a suggestion.
Luo Fantian was at a loss for words and quickly gave the Sword Sect disciples a meaningful look.
The people of the Sword Sect are now suffering in silence.
These two ancestors are people they can't afford to offend.
"You can't go to the primeval forest. It's too dangerous there. There are not only many pythons, but also many bears. If they target you, you'll be at a huge disadvantage."
"Exactly! I heard there are horned tigers and ten-faced beasts there. It's too dangerous. If something happens to you, how will our Sword Sect survive!"
The Sword Sect members all spoke up.
"The silver needles in my hand don't discriminate. If you keep babbling in my ear, don't blame me for making you laugh all day!"
Xie Zhou frowned, then picked up the silver needles and waved them around in front of the Sword Sect disciples.
The Sword Sect members immediately fell silent; compared to sudden death, laughing all day was the worst punishment.
Those disciples who had been treated this way before were so frightened by the memory that they knelt down on the ground.
"I was wrong, I'll never do it again!"
The disciple turned ashen-faced.
"If you also want to have such an unforgettable memory, I can give it to you."
"Oh, right, there's one more thing. I'm going to seal him away later. If any of you dare to touch him, I'll fight you to the death!"
"You know I mean what I say!"
Seeing this, Xie Zhou nodded in satisfaction, then used his right hand to seal the major acupoints on the boy's body.
This ensures that the boy won't feel anything even if he doesn't eat or drink for three days.
The Sword Sect members dared not speak, they could only nod frantically.
After Xie Zhou finished doing all this, he went with Luo Fantian.
Having learned from his previous experience, Xie Zhou easily overcame the obstacle, and Luo Fantian flew on his sword.
