254 Two Field Doctors Part Two

As the sunlight shone onto the young lady's face, her delicate and pretty, yetfar from being described as beautiful, appearance suddenly seemed to growbrighter and more beautiful. As she calmly looked at the distant sun, she thought of all the matters thatshe had encountered after entering the Garden of Zhou. In her heart, she hadprobably finished her assessment. At this moment, one of the maidens of the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Greencame over to her and whispered, "That person's injuries are too severe, Senior…" The young lady nodded and indicated that the maiden should leave first, shewould come soon after. The maiden from the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green returned to room,then, disregarding the protests of the injured cultivator's compatriots, hadeveryone exit the room. Only after this did the young lady go inside. Two of the maidens from theThirteen Divisions of Radiant Green were attempting to treat the injuredcultivator, but his injuries were truly too severe. The commonly used treatmentmethods of the Li Palace were lacking in effectiveness. Despite the efforts ofthe two maidens, they were still incapable of stemming the blood spilling fromthe wound in the abdomen. Seeing the young lady arrive, the maidens suddenly breathed a sigh of reliefand they hurriedly moved aside for her. The young lady walked over to the injured cultivator, then after taking twoglances, she raised her right hand and placed it in the air above the wound. A faint green light fell from her palm. Like flowing water, except evengentler, it incessantly fell from her palm onto the wounded cultivator's body. The gaping wound which had been spilling blood nonstop suddenly ceasedbleeding. Soon after, the beam of light falling from that young lady's palm changedcolors from a joyful and refreshing green to a holy and dignified milky white. The pure white beam of light touched the cultivator's abdomen, and theterrifying wound slowly began to close up. "The Garden of Zhou… has a problem. I suspect that the gate to the garden hasbeen closed. In a little bit, choose the fastest from amongst those cultivatorsto go to the gate and see." That young lady stood up and said to the other girls, "After I leave, you allshould light two fireworks. I believe that all the cultivators in the mountainsand by the river should be able to see them." Regardless of it was the Holy Maiden Peak or the Thirteen Divisions of RadiantGreen, on the battlefield, they both had always used fireworks to communicate.To cultivators as well as human soldiers, these two fireworks were hope.Although this place was inside the Garden of Zhou, when those injuredcultivators whose gray strings had failed to bring them out of the garden sawthe two fireworks, they would probably try and make their way to theMountainside Whispering Wood. One of the maidens of the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green that wasslightly older than the rest asked the young lady with some concern, "Senior,what are you planning to do?" "I have some things that I need to do." The young lady calmly stated, then sheturned and departed. The maidens from the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green could only look insilence as the young lady's back disappeared into the depths of the garden. Only after a moment did people begin to discuss the miraculous event that theyhad just witnessed. One of the maidens said in admiration, "That was the Sacred Light Technique,wasn't it? I couldn't have imagined that Senior, despite her young age, couldhave mastered the Sacred Light Technique to such a level! It seems to me thatperhaps not even teacher would be able to do that." "The latter was the Sacred Light Technique. At the beginning, she probablyused Holy Maiden Peak's Natural Light." The maiden that was slightly older than the rest smiled. "Senior first studiedat our school for a while, then she went to Holy Maiden Peak to cultivate.Growing up in both the north and the south, naturally she's not ordinary." As the night approached, the Garden of Zhou became somewhat chilly. In thefoothills, it was even colder. The white robes of the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green were somewhatthick, able to keep out the wind and protect against the cold. The young ladywas not worried about those things. As she seemingly casually strolled throughthe mountains and fields, in reality, she was searching for the cultivatorsthat had entered the garden. She held the same view as Chen Changsheng and Qi Jian. An even more powerfulforce would still be incapable of changing the rules of the Garden of Zhou, sothe closing of the gate was most likely a temporary matter. The problem lay inthe fact that the sudden closing of the gate presented many dangers to theseveral hundred cultivators in the garden. These dangers came from the humancultivators themselves as well as from other places. At the previous cliff, she had encountered a student from Star Seizer Academy.The student had not been injured from battle, rather he had experienced aproblem with circulating his true essence and he had fallen off the cliff. Evena body that had undergone Purification was unable to resist the force of thefall from such great height and his bones had been broken in many places. Ifshe had not seen him, then perhaps the only thing that he would have been ableto do was wait for his death. The night gradually set in and the mountain forest grew somewhat gloomy. Inthe distance, one could make out the faint glows of bonfires. It would seemthat many cultivators had realized that something was strange and they nolonger feared attracting competitors. They were only thinking about findingcompanions as fast as possible, and right now any person in the Garden of Zhoucould be considered a companion. The young lady headed towards the closest fire, and her white robes flutteringlightly in the night. In the darkness of the Garden of Zhou, the most eye-catching objects were theglimmers of the bonfires. It was just that some of the bonfires were verydifficult to see, perhaps because they were too far away. Chen Changsheng and Zhexiu walked out of the mountain forest. Chen Changshengspied a bonfire on a hill not too far away and said, "We'll start with theclosest. No need to rush." Zhexiu said nothing. As a descendent of the wolf tribe, the trait that helacked the least was patience. Chen Changsheng quickly realized this and he felt somewhat embarrassed. Thenhe remembered something else. "There are probably still many magical artifactsto be found in the Garden of Zhou. Coming with me, don't you feel like you'relosing out?" Zhexiu replied, "And you? Are you telling me that you don't feel like you'relosing out?" Chen Changsheng replied, "When I think about how the Mount Li Sword Sect verylikely knows the exact location of the Sword Pool and that Liang Xiaoxiao andQi Jian are right now heading there, and when I think about how even ZhuangHuanyu might have already found it, of course… I still somewhat care about it.It's just that tonight, there are most definitely many people that have beeninjured, even on the verge of death. I can't just leave them be." Zhexiu stared into his eyes and gravely asked him, "Why can't you leave thembe?" For this wolf youth that had grown up in the cruel snowy plains, everykindness was a weakness. He really did not understand why humans as well assome demihuman… simply could not let things be. "Is it a sort of woman's kindheartedness?" Chen Changsheng pondered the question, then replied, "It's that I can't bearto leave it be." After a moment of silence, Zhexiu replied, "The responsibility of an expert isto make themselves more powerful, so that they can better protect the weak." Chen Changsheng honestly admitted, "… maybe I don't have the consciousness ofan expert? Besides, since the Li Palace has handed these people over to me, Ihave to assume some responsibility over them. In addition, it seems that I'mthe only that can treat injuries amongst these people." Zhexiu said no more. Chen Changsheng asked, "You still haven't answered my question." Zhexiu replied, "Tang Tang paid in advance, so I'm your bodyguard." Chen Changsheng thought about his friend who was still in the Mausoleum ofBooks, then he thought about the Yellow Paper Umbrella, then regretfully said,"Being rich is really great." Zhexiu added on at the end, "In addition, I feel that if I go with you, Iwon't be missing out." As they talked, the pair didn't slow their speed at all. In a short time, theyhad arrived at the top of that hill. They saw the bonfire, as well as thepeople beside it. From their clothes, those two cultivators were likely from the south. For somereason, they had battled with each other, and the end result was that neitherside had won and both of them were covered with numerous wounds. What most mystified Chen Changsheng was that these two cultivators were bothsound asleep, the wounds on their bodies had already healed. If it were not forthe bloodstains on their clothes, it would have been impossible to tell thatthey had been wounded. He walked over to the two cultivators and took their pulses, then he openedtheir eyes and closely examined them. Lastly, he lifted their clothes toexamine the state of their wounds. Although the wounds of the two were not completely smoothed over, it was clearthat they were clear of any major obstacles. In addition, their deep sleep wasmost likely because they had sniffed some Spirit-Pacifying Incense, which wouldaid in their recovery. "A senior from the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green has given themDesistance Incense." Chen Changsheng stood up and said to Zhexiu, "Since there's someone else goingaround saving lives, we can relax a little." Zhexiu shook his head, "It's not the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green." Chen Changsheng's expression became a little strange. Thinking to himself, asa person well-versed in the Daoist Canon, he was very familiar with thehandiwork of the Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green. For the wounds on thosetwo southern cultivators to recover so quickly could only be accomplished bythe Orthodoxy's Sacred Light Art. There were even the remnants of sacred Qiaround the wounds. So why is it that Zhexiu said that this was not the work ofthe Thirteen Divisions of Radiant Green? The Orthodoxy's Sacred Light technique was extremely difficult to cultivate.The level of Sacred Light technique he had just seen was something that only adozen or so bishops within the Li Palace could demonstrate. Therefore, he hadguessed that the person that healed these two cultivators was probably ratheradvanced, which is why he had called her a senior. It was even very likely thatshe was a female instructor. It was probably the case that Chen Changsheng hadnot been paying attention closely enough when entering the garden, so he hadnot seen her. "It truly was the Sacred Light technique that healed the wounds, but the smellof the spirit-pacifying incense is wrong. It's not the Thirteen Divisions ofRadiant Green's Desistance Incense, but rather the Holy Maiden Peak's mostrarely produced Stainless Dust." Zhexiu expressionlessly said to him, "The first incense I have smelled manytimes, while the latter I have only smelled once. There is no way I wouldforget it, so there's no way that I'm wrong." Only now did Chen Changsheng remember that while Zhexiu hunted demons in thesnowy plains of the north, he would also often undertake extremely dangerousmissions for the Great Zhou Army. Who knows how many times he had lingered onthe edge of life and death? There were probably few people more qualified thanhim to discuss these two holy grounds of healing that were the ThirteenDivisions of Radiant Green and Holy Maiden Peak. "Knows the Sacred Light technique, and also carries the Stainless Dust ontheir body… who could it be?" He said this out loud, but in his heart, he wondered, to have grown up in boththe northern and southern sects, this senior would clearly be ratherextraordinary. But would such a senior really remain in Ethereal Opening? Zhexiu stared wordlessly at him. Somewhat uneasy, Chen Changsheng asked, "Why are you staring at me?" Zhexiu looked into Chen Changsheng's eyes and asked, "Do you really not knowor are you just acting stupid?" Chen Changsheng stared blankly at him, then understood, after which hecontinued to stare blankly at him. One of the important reasons that which he entered the Garden of Zhou was tomeet that young lady and then personally return the marriage contract. It was only that so many things had occurred after entering the garden that hehad actually forgotten the matter, forgotten that she was also inside theGarden of Zhou. To grow up in the sects of the South and the North, to cultivate the SacredLight technique to such a high level at Ethereal Opening, and then to alsocarry the precious Stainless Dust. In these past years, it seemed as though theonly person to match those conditions on the continent was only her? Somewhat helpless, he said to Zhexiu, "It can't be, right?" Zhexiu impassively replied, "It is." Chen Changsheng said no more, instead, he turned to the dark mountains andfields. He thought about how she had probably also stood in this spot, stood bythe same fire. For some reason, his mind felt somewhat strange. "Let’s go?" Zhexiu asked. Chen Changsheng suddenly turned to the two southern cultivators, took out hisneedles, and he began to treat them. Zhexiu was somewhat confused. Since Xu Yourong has already treated them, whatneed was there for him to do so as well?
