Donât fear the enemyâs smiling grinâfear the divine doctorâs furrowed brows!
When the doctor treating you looks displeased, you should prepare for the worst!
LĂŒ Hengqian felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly asked, âDivine doctor, how bad is it?â
Ye Yu sighed.
âYou must have offended someone deeply, or they wouldnât have paid such a price to kill you. The â đđšđŻđđ„đąđ đĄđ â ten days I mentioned was under normal circumstances. Yours, however, is an exception. If I hadnât just helped you regulate your qi, your bleeding would never have stopped until you perished miserably. Now goâ I canât heal you!â
This tactic of retreating to advance was something Ye Yu had learned from books as a child. When someone wavers, cutting off their last resort always rattles them.
Sure enough, upon hearing Ye Yu refused to treat him, LĂŒ Hengqian panicked. âNo, divine doctorâ how can you refuse to heal me? Name your priceâ divine arts, is it? Fine! No problem!â
At the brink of life and death, what are divine arts? LĂŒ Hengqian quickly drew a palm-sized jade slip from his storage ring and explained, âDivine doctor, this comes from Jiyue Pavilion. If you inject divine power into it, you can learn the art. Most importantly, it wonât interfere with your own Daoâno worries at all!â
At these words, Ye Yu couldnât help raising an eyebrow. Heâd been in the Divine Realm a while. Gu Ji had told him about many Divine Realm affairs, including the great Divine Alliancesâlike mortal sects and celestial immortal gates. Though few in number, each Alliance boasted ancient lineage and unfathomable power. Any ordinary god who clashed with them would surely die. Gu Ji had warned him repeatedly to keep his distance. She had named several Alliances, including Jiyue Pavilion.
Hearing the name again jogged Ye Yuâs memory. He didnât take the jade slip but asked, âAre you from Jiyue Pavilion?â
âDivine doctor, whether Iâm from Jiyue Pavilion doesnât matterâwhat matters is I want to live!â
LĂŒ Hengqian didnât answer directly, which meant he wasnât from Jiyue Pavilion. So the jade slip must have dubious origins. But Ye Yu didnât care. One seeks fortune amid peril; those who hesitate get nothing.
Yet to maximize benefit, Ye Yu didnât immediately accept. Instead he turned and said, âAs I said, you must have offended someone who spent a huge price to poison you with a potent toxin. If I forcibly purge it, Iâd surely consume soul power. A real dilemma!â
Noneâmortal or divineâachieves perfection. Cultivation is an uphill battle; without progress, you regress. Resources, techniques, divine weaponsâeach must be seized. Who has no enemies? Offending people is inevitable.
LĂŒ Hengqian clenched both fists, anger on his face. âThat wretched bastard really tried to kill me! Divine doctor, I have some divine stones and a divine robeâplease save me! I want revenge!â
Clearly heâd already identified his imaginary enemy. Ye Yu saw his chance and dropped his pretension. He turned slowly, waved his sleeve, and took everything. Then he said with feigned reluctance, âFine. You met me, which means fate spared you. Remember: from today on, you owe me a favor. If you ever need anything, you must repay it!â
âAbsolutely! I, LĂŒ Hengqian, swear right here: if the divine doctor orders, I will never refuse!â
LĂŒ Hengqian swore fervently. What choice did he have? If Ye Yu asked for the stars in the sky, heâd say heâd find them. After negotiating, Ye Yu suddenly punched LĂŒ Hengqian in the abdomen. The force contorted his face.
Seizing the moment, Ye Yu quietly unleashed the Thousand Dreams Illusion. In the illusion, he slit LĂŒ Hengqianâs belly and pulled out a black worm, crushing it between his fingers!
After it was done, Ye Yu went pale, spat blood, and weakly fled. LĂŒ Hengqian fainted.
When he awoke, he found himself alone within ten thousand miles. Instinctively he lifted the divine robe and looked at his abdomen. It was bright red and aching, but there was no wound. Indeed a divine doctorâheâd treated the wound so well. Recalling Ye Yuâs bloody spitting, LĂŒ Hengqian was deeply moved. He knelt and shouted to the sky, âDivine doctor, your great kindness I can never forget! If I have the chance, I will brave fire and water for you!â
Yesâhe didnât realize any of it was illusion. To him, the worm and the stitching were real. The technique was excellent, though his stomach still hurt!
Meanwhile, Ye Yu flew tens of thousands of miles before stopping on auspicious clouds to examine his haul. Three hundred twenty divine stones and a cerulean divine robeâlight as a feather, flickering with radiance, surely no ordinary items.
Good stuff!
Ye Yu decisively donned the robe. Wandering the Divine Realm, one needs protection for peace of mind. Next was the main prizeâthe divine art jade slip! Though Gu Ji had taught him many divine arts, he hadnât mastered them. He hoped this art would be easier.
Just as Ye Yu held the jade slip, the Dream Systemâs voice rang in his mind: âDetected suitable divine art: Wind of Resentment. Spend Negative Emotion Points to learn: Entryâ1,000 points; Minor Masteryâ3,000; Major Masteryâ8,000; Perfectionâ150,000,000!â
At this, Ye Yu felt stunned. Spend Negative Emotion Points to learn? Why hadnât Gu Jiâs arts required this? Could it be because this art comes from the jade slip...
