The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 2014 - 2004: Ten Thousand Gu Devouring Body

Sponsored

The young man in the white coat who had come together with Long FeiCheen had always worn an expression that was neither happy nor angry.

But the way he stood there made him seem, to anyone who looked, to carry a faint air of arrogance.

Hearing Xu Rensheng’s words, he merely nodded slightly in response.

However, Xu Rensheng seemed to act as if he hadn’t seen it, and once again signaled to Dai Jianbai to lead the way.

Lin Tian noticed that Dai Jianbai was lowering his head, his face filled with anger, clearly very displeased with the young man’s attitude.

His master Xu Rensheng was at least a Sect Master, no one had ever been so rude to him.

But as they had come to ask for help, he didn’t dare show it, forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart as he said respectfully, "Divine Doctor Yang, Sect Master Long, Senior Brother Long, this way, please!"

After that, Dai Jianbai walked ahead to lead the three of them.

The group left the main hall and turned toward a ruined building within the sect.

At first glance, it seemed there was no passage there at all.

But once the trees and shrubs at the side were lifted aside, a dilapidated archway was revealed.

Lin Tian’s Divine Sense merely swept over it once before he stopped paying attention to it and turned back to Xu Rensheng, saying, "The reason I came back is that Luo Han told me some things!"

"Some things? I wonder what they might be?"

Xu Rensheng’s face darkened, showing displeasure. He glanced at Luo Han, then continued to Lin Tian, "The Dragon Roar Sect and our Qingshan Sect have been on good terms for a hundred years, so we often visit each other! As for that young man just now... he is the Disciple of Wang Qing, the Divine Doctor of Guang Han Continent, and his Medical Skill is extremely astonishing! Someone in our sect was injured, so we invited him here! Instructor Lin, do you have urgent matters? If not, this old man will not be able to keep you company!"

"Master..."

Luo Han could tell that his master Xu Rensheng had already guessed something, so he braced himself, stepped forward, and said, "About the Old Sect Master... I’ve already... told him!"

"You..."

Although he had vaguely guessed this possibility, hearing Luo Han personally say it still made Xu Rensheng so angry that his whole body trembled.

As for the Old Sect Master still being alive, he had always been extremely cautious about that.

Besides Long FeiCheen and a few others, no one else knew.

If word leaked, Qingshan Sect might face annihilation.

"Master, I mentioned Tan Xiaoning’s illness to you before, and now she’s cured because Instructor Lin took action!"

Luo Han lowered his head and explained, "Instructor Lin’s Medical Skill is also very high, so I wanted him... to give it a try!"

Hearing this.

There was a hint of shock on Xu Rensheng’s face.

Because he was well aware of Tan Xiaoning’s condition. Tan Xiaoning had also come to Qingshan Sect to consult before, and he had read her medical records several times. For that kind of difficult and complicated case, he had no solution.

He hadn’t expected that the one who cured her would actually be Lin Tian!

"Ah... Instructor Lin has been very kind!"

Since Luo Han had already revealed the matter of the Old Sect Master and Lin Tian now knew, Xu Rensheng no longer tried to hide it. Shaking his head with a sigh, he said, "My master’s situation is rather special. For decades, this old man has sought out countless famous doctors, all to no avail! Now that I’ve invited Yang Xian, it’s merely to give it a try! Besides that, after he returns, he can also report my master’s condition to the Old Divine Doctor Wang Qing! If Old Divine Doctor Wang Qing has a solution, that would be best. If he also cannot... this old man can at least say he has done his best!"

These words.

Made Lin Tian even more curious.

Just what kind of strange illness was this, to be so troublesome!

If it were a problem arising from Cultivation, Xu Rensheng should have been able to tell.

So... the possibility of it being a mishap in Cultivation could basically be ruled out!

Lin Tian rubbed his chin, then said, "Since Master Xu is already taking it as a try, why not let me go take a look as well? After all, I already know about it now; it’s no longer a secret!"

"Very well! Instructor Lin, come with this old man!"

Xu Rensheng frowned slightly, then finally nodded firmly and agreed.

In any case, Lin Tian already knew about it.

Hiding it any further would be pointless.

Besides.

Since he could cure Tan Xiaoning’s illness, he clearly had some level of skill.

On top of that, Lin Tian was from the Reserve Team; perhaps he really did have some ability.

It would do no harm to bring him to take a look!

"Master, I’ll lead the way!"

Luo Han’s face was filled with excitement and anticipation as he hurried to the front.

Xu Rensheng did not stop him, walking behind with Lin Tian.

It was still that same ruined building from earlier.

After passing through the archway, there was a long passage leading directly into the mountain.

Inside, there were stone steps spiraling downward. It was very dim within, with candles crackling on both sides, lighting the way below.

But this was the interior of the mountain.

It was quite damp.

All around, they could hear the drip-drip of flowing water.

They walked down for a full ten minutes before finally reaching the bottom.

At the lowest level was an underground space resembling a cave, much drier than above.

But just as they stepped off the stone steps, Lin Tian felt waves of bitter cold.

All around were bronze braziers, their fires blazing.

Yet these braziers could only barely resist the Ice Energy here.

Luo Han, walking in front, couldn’t help but shiver all over.

"This cold air is?"

Lin Tian glanced at the winding passage ahead, puzzled.

"It’s the ice-cold aura being emitted from my master’s body!"

Xu Rensheng sighed and shook his head as he spoke.

Luo Han, walking ahead, turned back at this moment and said, "Instructor Lin, before we had these braziers, when I came down to bring food to Grandmaster, I was almost frozen! He can eat and sleep, but from below the chest down he can’t move, and he can’t leave this place! If he’s exposed to sunlight, his entire body might shatter like an ice sculpture! This illness... for Grandmaster, is unbearable torment! But he’s unwilling to just pass away like this..."

His whole body being frozen?

What kind of illness was that!

If it were ordinary cold invading the body or Ice Energy generated within, it wouldn’t be so hard to treat!

Lin Tian grew even more puzzled.

At this moment, the passage ahead turned, and a space of just over ten square meters appeared before their eyes.

Inside, it was like a room, furnished with a stone bed, stone table, stone chairs, and some utensils.

At this moment, Long FeiCheen and the others were already there.

The young man in the white coat, Yang Xian, was sitting by the bed, examining the old man on the stone bed whose lower body was almost entirely covered in a layer of ice crystals.

The old man on the stone bed had a head of white hair and a withered body, yet his face still looked quite young.

He seemed to be in a deep sleep at the moment, his breathing somewhat unsteady.

This old man’s life was hanging by a thread, yet he was forcibly clinging to it!

Lin Tian glanced at the old man on the stone bed and was secretly astonished.

But as Lin Tian’s Divine Sense enveloped the old man, his eyes narrowed.

"This man isn’t suffering from some strange illness; he’s... poisoned!"

As Lin Tian’s Divine Sense swept over him, he quickly discovered the old man’s condition, and his heart was slightly shaken: "Moreover, what’s in his body isn’t ordinary poison, but Poisonous Insect Poison! Living Gu Worms, and a rare type of Ice Gu at that! They are breeding and thriving in his blood, now so many they can’t be counted! But these Gu Worms won’t take his life for the time being. This kind of Gu can actually secrete vitality, devouring his body, yet then feeding back to it!"

"Ten Thousand Gu Devouring Body, and he hasn’t died after so long—this is truly rare!"

At this moment, Lin Tian continued examining the man’s condition while inwardly exclaiming in astonishment.

Just then, Yang Xian stood up, turned, and said to Xu Rensheng, "Master Xu, the Old Sect Master’s condition is far too bizarre! From what I can see, he has no illness at all, yet his vitality keeps disappearing, then reappearing again, over and over, breaking off and continuing! And there’s also an inexplicable emergence of a great deal of cold aura within his body... This is really... beyond my understanding!"

Hearing this, Xu Rensheng’s face changed slightly. Then he closed his eyes halfway, his face tinged with gloom, and shook his head with a soft sigh.
