Chapter 221: The Battle for the Divine Cave! The Wounded! The Power of the Celestial Physician!

"Senior Brother, Zhongzhou is in need of manpower. You've helped me by bringing me here."

Not long after entering the Southern Domain, Su Changqing stopped in his tracks and spoke.

Although this place was still some distance from the Little Immortal Sect, there was no risk in his return.

"That's good."

Bo Gu nodded and then looked towards the distant sky where the Divination Dao Platform appeared, his expression grave as he said, "Junior Brother, three months from now, if you have the time, go to the Divination Dao Platform."

"There are countless disciples of Confucianism and Taoism, so occupying a Divination Dao Platform shouldn't be a problem. But I'm worried that the person who reaches the top will be from the Imperial Court lineage."

Upon hearing this, Su Changqing nodded.

On the way, Bo Gu had already explained the importance of the Divination Dao Platform to him.

In fact, Confucianism and Taoism were not concerned about occupying the platform, but rather, they were worried about who would reach the top.

The Literary Grand Gathering was about to commence, and the internal divisions within the Academy of Saints were becoming apparent.

At this critical juncture, if someone from the Imperial Court lineage reached the top, the already weak Scholar Immortal lineage would face even greater challenges.

At that time, the Imperial Court lineage would only need to do some promotion, and the number of students joining them would likely increase exponentially.

"Senior Brother, rest assured. Within these three months, I will strive to break through to the peak of the Divine Spirit Realm as soon as possible."

Su Changqing spoke softly, and a sense of urgency arose in his heart.

Due to his unique method of opening the acupoints and the high-quality spirit root, the amount of spiritual energy he needed for cultivation was ten times, or even dozens of times, more than others.

Despite spending nearly a month in the Immortal Spirit Sect, known for its abundant spiritual energy, he had only managed to fill twenty acupoints.

To fill all three hundred and sixty acupoints, he would require an immense amount of spiritual energy.

Even so, he wasn't confident that he could reach the peak of the Divine Spirit Realm within three months, so he could only do his best.

Otherwise, he would have to miss out on the opportunity to borrow the power of heaven and earth to condense the strongest divine appearance.

"Don't worry about the Academy of Saints for the next six months. My lifebound characters will temporarily stabilize the chaos."

"As for the Literary Grand Gathering six months from now..."

Bo Gu looked deeply into Su Changqing's eyes and spoke softly, "We, the scholars, will wait for you in Zhongzhou to take charge of the situation!"

...

In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.

After Bo Gu left, Su Changqing continued on his journey, and after nearly two months, he finally returned to the Little Immortal Sect.

As he saw the grand entrance of the sect, Su Changqing felt a sense of relief that he hadn't experienced in a long time.

It was a feeling of security that he hadn't felt during his travels in the outside world.

"I wonder if Martial Teacher has returned."

"Is the sect's resource tower open now?"

"If it's not open, then it's troublesome. Cultivators need so many resources; where can I find them?"

Su Changqing's mind wandered as he entered the sect, preoccupied with thoughts of where to find resources.

He hadn't realized it before, but now that his cultivation had advanced, he understood the immense importance of resources for cultivators.

"Hmm, why is the Little Immortal Sect so quiet?"

As he walked back to his small peak, Su Changqing noticed the unusually quiet atmosphere in the sect, a look of confusion on his face.

Although the Little Immortal Sect didn't have many disciples, he would usually encounter some on his way.

But today, he had walked quite a distance and hadn't seen a single person.

With a sense of curiosity, Su Changqing returned to his small peak.

However, the situation was the same there—not a single person on the small peak, not even Xuan Qingzi, Fu Bo, Wu Yong, or his teacher.

"How strange."

Su Changqing frowned and made his way towards the main peak of the martial arts lineage.

This place usually had the most disciples, and he wanted to find someone to ask what was going on.

However, before he even reached the main peak, five or six people hurriedly approached the entrance of the Little Immortal Sect.

These people were covered in blood, their clothes torn and tattered.

One of them was even carrying an unconscious disciple with severe injuries.

"Damn those demon race bastards! They're using a human wave tactic!"

"Damn it, the Sect Leader has already called for reinforcements from other sects in the Southern Domain. We must take back what's ours!"

"Oh, forget about that for now. Let's quickly take Song Shidi to the Dan Peak. If we don't hurry, he might not make it!"

". . ."

The group cursed and rushed forward anxiously, heading straight for the main peak of the Little Immortal Sect's Dan lineage.

"The demon race? Calling for reinforcements? Are we at war with the demon race?"

Su Changqing's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly followed the group to the Dan Peak.

But as soon as he arrived, Su Changqing understood why there were no other disciples in the Little Immortal Sect.

At that moment, the large square on the Dan Peak was filled with countless Little Immortal Sect disciples, all of them injured to varying degrees.

Without exception, every one of them was severely wounded, some vomiting blood, and others unconscious.

There were also many with broken limbs, clutching their injuries and waiting for the elders to treat them.

"Elder, please help me! Why won't this bleeding stop?"

"Go to the side. Take a stop-bleeding pill first; there's no time to treat minor injuries like this!"

"Save my junior brother first, Elder! His internal organs are shattered; if we don't act quickly, it'll be too late!"

The square was filled with wails and cries, with elders and disciples alike rushing about, their feet barely touching the ground.

Even if they didn't rest for a moment, it was impossible to treat so many injured people simultaneously.

"Elder! Elder!"

"Save my junior sister first! She was bitten by a ghostly snake and can't hold on much longer!"

Just as Su Changqing was about to regain his senses, a familiar figure, covered in blood, rushed over, holding a woman in his arms.

"Mo Xiong?"

Su Changqing's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he followed, walking towards the front.

"Elder Sun, please, take a look at my junior sister!"

Mo Xiong hurriedly brought the woman to the familiar elder's side and asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, let me take a look first."

Elder Sun examined the woman's purple-black face, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, and he carefully investigated with his spiritual power.

Mo Xiong stood by, tense and not daring to breathe.

"Ah..."

In a moment, Elder Sun sighed softly, "It's too late. The poison has entered her five vital organs and seeped into her bones."

"With such injuries, even if she were to be treated at the Tian Dan Pavilion, it would be difficult to save her."

Mo Xiong felt as if he had been struck by thunder, and he sat down on the ground with a thud, then burst into tears.

Seeing this, the people around them all sighed. In the past few days, they had witnessed too many such scenes.

"Don't worry, there's still hope."

Just as Mo Xiong was in the depths of despair, a gentle voice sounded from beside him.

Looking at the figure crouching beside him, his lifeless eyes suddenly lit up, "Senior Brother Changqing, you're back!"

"Yes, I just returned today."

Su Changqing nodded, waved his hand, and took out several silver needles, "We'll talk later. Let's save this person first."

As he spoke, his fingertips glowed with silver light, and the silver needles fell into the woman's body like silver dragons.

"Silver needles?"

Seeing such an ancient treatment method, Elder Sun was taken aback, "Did Changqing also study medicine?"

"I self-studied for some time and have a basic understanding." Su Changqing nodded but didn't elaborate.

"This technique is quite exquisite."

Watching Su Changqing's mysterious hand seals, Elder Sun's eyes brightened slightly, but he still sighed, "I'm afraid it won't be very effective. This young lady has been poisoned for too long; I'm afraid she can't be saved."

Before Su Changqing could respond, Mo Xiong, who was beside him, stood up excitedly,

"She can definitely be saved!"

"You've forgotten about Senior Brother Wu Jiuling's injuries. How did he recover?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present brightened up.

If Mo Xiong hadn't mentioned it, they would have genuinely forgotten.

Senior Brother Wu Jiuling was injured by an Imperial Armament. At that time, when the Liu family came, Su Changqing himself said that he could heal him within half a year.

As a result, Senior Brother Wu Jiuling's injuries did indeed recover within half a year, and he even entered the High Sovereign Apex! Although no one knew how Su Changqing had treated Senior Brother Wu Jiuling, his medical skills were undoubtedly top-notch! If he could even heal a Quasi-Emperor, how much more so for ordinary disciples?

"Quickly, bring over Senior Brother Song! With Senior Brother Changqing's medical skills, he can definitely treat him!"

"Hurry up and find a spot! Don't look for the elders anymore. Senior Brother Changqing is here, so why look for other elders!"

"Make way, make way, Senior Brother Changqing is here, save my senior brother!"

The news of Su Changqing's arrival spread quickly, and soon the entire Dan Peak was buzzing with excitement.

All the severely injured and dying patients were brought by their relatives and friends to Su Changqing.

The surrounding relatives of the other injured were also filled with sorrow, and a large group of them knelt down, their pleas for help echoing in the air.

"This..."

Su Changqing turned around and realized that a crowd had gathered behind him without him noticing.

The injured people lying on the ground were all critically wounded and on the verge of death.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best!"

Su Changqing's divine sense swept across the crowd, and without wasting time on understanding the situation, he rushed to the most severely injured person.

"Mo Shidi, quickly fetch some Shixue Lingcao, Qingmu Teng, and Tuyuanshen to stop the bleeding!"

Su Changqing's brows furrowed as he quickly assessed the injuries of the disciple before him.

Using the Heavenly Physician's pulse-sealing technique, he temporarily sealed the leakage of the disciple's life source before hurrying to the next person.

"Good, I'll go get it!"

Mo Xiong wiped the blood from his face and was about to run out, but was stopped by Elder Sun.

"I'll go get it, you stay here and watch over them."

Elder Sun looked deeply into Su Changqing's eyes, willingly taking on the role of an assistant, and began to move around to gather the required items.

At this moment, Su Changqing moved among the injured, temporarily stabilizing their conditions.

Most of these injuries were caused by severe external trauma, with damaged internal organs and meridians.

Some were wounded by sharp blades, while others were deeply poisoned, but the treatments were not too difficult.

However, there were simply too many people, and at a glance, there were at least a hundred waiting to be treated.

"Mo Shidi, help stop the bleeding for that fellow disciple!"

"Elder Sun, use Xuanguhua, Ziling Guo, and Xuanyangcao to brew a pot of medicinal soup, and I'll teach you how to control the fire."

"Also, go get some more Shixue Lingcao, we don't have enough."

Su Changqing calmly organized the injured, while his hands worked tirelessly, forming seals as he channeled his healing powers.

As time passed, the situation gradually improved.

Among the hundreds of critically injured, including those whom the elders had given up on, their conditions stabilized one by one.

However, there were a few whose injuries were too severe, and despite Su Changqing's efforts, they had already stopped breathing.

Even so, the eyes of everyone present were filled with respect as they looked at Su Changqing.

This respect was not due to Su Changqing's strength or status but was born from the selfless act of saving countless lives, inspiring genuine admiration for the profession of a healer.

"Changqing, your skills are truly awe-inspiring."

Elder Sun looked at the sweat-drenched youth in the center of the crowd with a mixture of awe and emotion in his eyes.

Having assisted Su Changqing throughout, he was well aware of the young man's incredible abilities.

Su Changqing was truly snatching lives back from the jaws of death.

As long as there was a breath left in them, Su Changqing's terrifying medical skills could bring them back to life.

He was a pill master who could also heal and treat illnesses, but more often, he focused on researching cultivation pills.

However, today, he had witnessed the true essence of a pure healer.

His healing techniques were far beyond what any pill master could achieve, even surpassing the capabilities of the Celestial Pill Pavilion.

"If it weren't for him today, half of these people would have died."

Another elder sighed and said, "Is it really right for pill masters to replace physicians?"

"In the past, I could also claim to save lives as a pill master, but today, compared to Changqing..."

"The term 'pill master' and the phrase 'miraculous healing' shame me."

This was the first encounter between the Heavenly Physician and the pill masters, and it was a resounding defeat for the pill masters.

"You said..."

Elder Sun turned to Su Changqing, hesitating as he spoke in a low voice, "If Changqing could comprehend the secrets within the Celestial Pill Pavilion, he could become that legendary Heavenly Physician."

"Be careful with your words!"

The elder's face changed, "Such matters are not for us to decide!"

"Are you not aware of the chaos within the Celestial Pill Pavilion and the reasons why we followed the Peak Master?"

Elder Sun's face turned dark upon hearing this, and he sighed deeply, choosing to remain silent.

As the two elders chatted, Su Changqing finally had some free time.

Seeing the continuous stream of injured people being brought in, he frowned and asked, "What exactly happened?"

"Hasn't the battle been decided after all this time?"

Mo Xiong, who was nearby, shook his head, "There won't be a winner today."

"The Celestial Cave hasn't opened yet, and both sides are still fighting for control. Once the cave opens fully, the winner will be determined!"

He glanced at the sky and murmured, "But it should open soon, probably around midnight."

Upon hearing this, Su Changqing's eyes lit up.

Was there a Celestial Cave nearby?
