Yu looked at Wu Zhiqi with firm eyes, devoid of any fear. "You evil demon, I have come today to subdue you!"
As he spoke, Yu took out his magic treasure and, along with four Martial Venerable Realm (Primordial Unity Golden Immortal) experts, charged towards Wu Zhiqi.
Seeing this, Wu Zhiqi summoned a Black Iron Rod and engaged Yu and the other four in battle, creating earth-shattering roars.
For a time, the wind and clouds changed color, and the Huai River churned with sky-high giant waves. After a long fight, the five were still unable to defeat Wu Zhiqi.
Yu thought to himself, "This evil demon possesses such combat power. The five of us, at the same cultivation level, are still no match for him."
"Co-Lord, this Great Demon is too powerful. Let's retreat first and ask Immortal Master Bei Xuan for help," a subordinate said to Yu.
"Alright, go invite Teacher for help," Yu said, leading his four subordinates away from the center of the Huai River to find Bei Xuan.
Wu Zhiqi saw Yu and the others flee and didn't pay much attention. He thought, "You still need to control the floods, and you must go down the Huai River. You will definitely come back."
"Even if you don't come back, I will force you to," Wu Zhiqi declared.
Wu Zhiqi unleashed his divine abilities, summoning a massive flood. The floodwaters, like fierce beasts, surged towards the Human Tribe, destroying many houses. People fled in all directions, while others cried out in pain from their injuries.
Some brave individuals attempted to resist the flood, but their efforts were merely a drop in the bucket.
The floodwaters rose higher and higher, gradually submerging the entire tribe.
In the flood, innocent old people and children were swept away. Their cries for help echoed through the air, breaking hearts.
Upon hearing this news, Yu became furious, his rage uncontrollable.
He secretly berated himself, "This is all my fault! If only I hadn't been so confident in my ability to shoulder the responsibility of flood control and let Teacher return to cultivate."
"Instead, if I had kept Teacher by my side to help, this would not have happened."
He knew the situation was urgent and could not be delayed any further. Thus, Yu made up his mind to quicken his pace, find his teacher as soon as possible, and request his teacher's assistance to jointly confront Wu Zhiqi and eliminate him soon, thereby resolving Humanity's Peril.
As Yu returned to Shouyang Mountain, in the devastated Human Tribe, a figure was already busy, doing their best to treat every injured clan member. Her movements were gentle and skilled, as if she were born to save lives.
This figure was the Little Girl. The Little Girl appeared to be sixteen years old, with a delicate face and eyes filled with determination and tenderness.
She carefully examined each wound, applied herbs to the injuries, and then bound them tightly with hemp rope.
Tears continuously streamed down her face, but she did not stop her work, knowing that time was of the essence and every moment could determine life or death.
"Child, hurry and leave. Don't stay here. We don't know when this demon will go mad again and cause floods," an elderly old man lying on the ground said weakly to the Little Girl, his voice filled with worry and reluctance.
"Yes, child, you should go. It's too dangerous here," another old woman said, enduring the pain with difficulty. Her face was full of affection and care.
However, the Little Girl did not heed their words. She looked up, her eyes flashing with resolute light.
She said softly, "Old Grandpa, Old Grandma, I will not leave you. I am a healer; how can I watch you suffer?" After speaking, she lowered her head again, concentrating on tending to the wounds of the injured.
However, her current herbs and treatment conditions were limited, leaving her powerless against very difficult injured patients, which made her very sad and feel deeply helpless.
She blamed herself, thinking that if she could be a little stronger, if she had more herbs and better medical tools, perhaps she could save more lives.
But reality was always cruel; she could only do her best but not achieve perfection. This helplessness made her mood even heavier.
Just then, a voice came, "Are you giving up already?" The voice carried a hint of reprimand, but more so encouragement.
She looked up and saw a figure appear before her. It was a Tall and Majestic Man, his eyes revealing a sense of determination and courage.
This man was Su Mu. He had been silently observing her actions, appreciating her efforts and contributions.
Su Mu walked to her side, looked at her tired face and sorrowful expression, and said softly, "Don't give up easily. We still have many opportunities to save those who need help."
"As long as you persevere, you will always find a way to solve problems." His words were full of strength and confidence, making her regain her spirit.
Su Mu hadn't originally intended to come here; he still had many pills to refine. But after hearing the System Prompt, he decided to come and take a look.
A few days ago, Su Mu was diligently refining pills in his Cave Dwelling when the system's voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
{Ding, detected that the Human Tribe has suffered heavy casualties. The Medical Dao of the Human Tribe is budding. Please host help establish the Medical Dao and increase the chances of Human Revival.}
{Rewards: Innate Supreme Treasure "Hongmeng Cauldron", Innate Supreme Treasure Chaos Bell, five drops of Pangu's Blood Essence, one Saint Cultivation Experience Card.}
Hearing this news, Su Mu couldn't help but frown. He knew nothing about the so-called Medical Dao, let alone how to establish it.
At this time, there were no Healers in the world. What should he do?
Su Mu fell into deep thought, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards where the Human Tribe lived.
As he looked, Su Mu was instantly filled with Uncontrollable Rage. He stood up abruptly and shouted, "How dare this Demon Monkey harm the Human Tribe!"
He immediately decided to go and eliminate this detestable Demon Monkey. However, at that moment, his gaze swept past the little girl who was diligently treating the injured.
"She is Treating Illness and Saving People, she is a Healer!" A surge of pleasant surprise welled up in Su Mu's heart.
Su Mu sat down and pondered for a long time, then stood up and went to Shouyang Palace.

Inside the main hall of Shouyang Palace.
"Teacher." Su Mu bowed.
"Su Mu, is something the matter?" Nuwa asked.
Su Mu directly pointed to the girl from the afflicted Human Tribe and said with a firm tone, "Teacher, please look."
Nuwa heard this and followed the direction Su Mu's Finger pointed, her gaze piercing through the Void and landing on the place where the girl was.
Her brow furrowed, a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes, she said in a deep voice, "How dare this little demon monkey harm humans! Su Mu, eliminate it immediately."
However, Su Mu did not act. Empress Nuwa was somewhat puzzled by this, but seeing that he had no intention of acting, she raised her hand, preparing to deal with the demon monkey herself.
Su Mu hurriedly stopped Empress Nuwa and said, "Teacher, wait. What I want you to see is not that demon monkey, but that little girl."
Upon hearing this, Empress Nuwa lowered her hand and looked at the girl again, a hint of surprise in her eyes. She said, "So that's how it is. She is treating the injured humans."
"Teacher, look at her cultivation. It's too shallow. She's not capable of treating so many people! To save more people, you need powerful Creation power. Only with this power can it be done!" Su Mu said to Empress Nuwa.
Empress Nuwa nodded slightly. A wisp of spiritual light flew from between her brows, and at the same time, thirteen extremely fine needles appeared in her hand.
The spiritual light flickered with a mysterious glow, like a brilliant star, while the thirteen needles exuded a faint but powerful aura, as if containing endless vitality.
Empress Nuwa looked at Su Mu, a hint of anticipation and trust in her eyes: "Su Mu, this is the Human Cult's Creation Art. It contains infinite Creation power and can heal all injuries and illnesses."
"These thirteen needles have all been imbued with Creation power by me. They can help the injured recover their vitality and regain their health."
"Now, I hope you can give these treasures to her and accept her as my Disciple on my behalf. After she has treated all the injured patients, she will come to Shouyang Palace to formally become my disciple."
Su Mu respectfully accepted the ball of spiritual light and the thirteen needles. Feeling the powerful energy contained within, a sense of reverence surged in his heart.
He knew very well that these precious treasures were not just simple objects; their significance was profound.
This was not only Empress Nuwa's deep trust in her, but more importantly, these treasures contained Empress Nuwa's earnest expectations for her—to save the human race from dire straits.
When he saw her, he found her busy taking care of the injured villagers, blaming herself and shedding tears over patients she couldn't save.
Hearing Su Mu's words, she replied tearfully, "But they are too severely injured. I am truly powerless."
Su Mu stepped forward, explained his purpose, and handed Empress Nuwa's gifts to her.
The woman took the spiritual light and the thirteen needles. Feeling the powerful energy contained within, a flash of surprise and gratitude appeared in her eyes.
She faced the direction of Shouyang Mountain, slowly knelt down, her forehead touching the ground, and performed a grand ceremony.
Her voice was low and firm: "Disciple Shaoyao, thanks Empress Nuwa. I deeply understand the importance of this task and will do my utmost to treat the injured patients."
"After completing this mission, I will personally go to Shouyang Mountain to become your disciple." After speaking, she kowtowed again, expressing her respect and gratitude to Empress Nuwa.
After Su Mu left, the woman began to use the Creation Art and the thirteen needles bestowed by Empress Nuwa to treat the injured villagers.
Shaoyao cultivated the Creation Art while treating her clan members. Coupled with the miraculous effects of the Creation Art and the thirteen needles, many severely injured people gradually recovered and regained their vitality.
Meanwhile, Su Mu went to the Human Ancestral Land and found Shennong, from whom he requested the Shennong's Hundred Herbs Classic.
This classic was circulated throughout the human race, but the version in Shennong's possession was the original.
Having been kept by Shennong's side for a long time, this version possessed special abilities.
By reading this original text, people can increase their understanding and comprehension of herb knowledge.
Su Mu handed the Shennong's Hundred Herbs Classic to Shaoyao, letting her study and reference it.
Shaoyao took the Shennong's Hundred Herbs Classic, her hands trembling slightly, clearly feeling the importance of this gift.
She gently opened the pages, the dense text and illustrations dazzling her.
Su Mu watched Shaoyao's focused expression, a sense of satisfaction welling up in his heart.
He knew that this Shennong's Hundred Herbs Classic would bring Shaoyao endless help and inspiration.
It not only contained rich herb knowledge but also embodied Shennong's wisdom and experience.
"I hope this book can be of some help to you," Su Mu said softly.
Shaoyao looked up, her eyes shining with gratitude. She nodded and said, "Thank you, Senior Disciple Brother. I will cherish this book."
Su Mu smiled, believing that Shaoyao would definitely make good use of this Shennong's Hundred Herbs Classic and become an outstanding Healer.
As for himself, he would continue to work hard and explore more mysteries of alchemy.
As time passed, Shaoyao successfully treated all the injured patients, and through treating these patients, her medical skills became even more refined, and her understanding of "medicine" became more thorough.
Her Cultivation also advanced from the Martial General (True Immortal) realm to the Martial Emperor (Golden Immortal) realm.
Watching Shaoyao enter enlightenment, Su Mu was very happy and personally guarded her.
