On the fifth day, Feijian and Feiguan carried the two of them and landed outside the gate of a small city. It could have been reached in four days, but it took Qin Tiexin one day to get familiar with Feiguan.
Green Willow City is a little smaller than Falling Star City. The city wall is made of local blue-gray strips of stone. Three characters are engraved on the city gate, Green Willow City.
There is a row of snow-spirited green willow trees planted beside the official road outside the city, which constantly exudes a cool breath. In the hot and humid southeast, the tree beside the tree actually exudes a slight chill, attracting many mortals or low-level monks to enjoy the coolness again.
Chen Xi led Qin Tiexin through the city gate. After checking their identity, they walked along the main street for about a stick of incense, turned into an alley east of the center, and finally stopped at the door of an exquisite courtyard. There were four large characters engraved on the plaque at the door.
Hundred Herbs Medical Hall.
The strange thing is that not only is there no one at the door, but the door of the medical center is still wide open, and the plaque is half-way crooked. The vines on the wall have grown very thick and have begun to spread into the courtyard. There is a piece of faded red paper pasted on the door. It should be written on the consultation hours or rules, but the handwriting is somewhat unclear, leaving only a few blurred ink spots.
The door is unlocked.
Chen Xi When I opened the door, I saw that the yard was covered with weeds half as tall as a man. There were several overturned medicine jars lying in the grass. The medicine residue at the bottom of the jars had dried into hard lumps.
Opposite the door is the main hall of the medical center. When the two walked in, all the medicine cabinets in the hall were open. The drawers were pulled out and thrown to the ground. Only a few dried herbs remained between the cabinets.
The courtyard was not big, so the two of them quickly observed it. Not only was there no one there, there was no trace of life at all. All useful things had been moved away, but it didn't look like they were being moved. It looked more like the entire courtyard had been ransacked after the owner disappeared.
Chen Xi stood in front of the examination table for a while and closed his eyes. An extremely subtle wave of spiritual energy radiated from his body and slowly swept across the entire courtyard. After a few breaths, he opened his eyes and frowned.
"I've been gone for at least a year, and all the remaining spiritual energy has been dissipated."
He turned around and walked out of the hospital, knocking on the door of a medicine shop next door.
A Early Qi Refining guy poked his head out and shook his head after listening to Chen Xi's description. "You're talking about the medical practitioner named Qian, right? He disappeared a year and a half ago, and he left very suddenly. He even bought three yuan for it the night before. Anomatis said it would be used tomorrow, but it disappeared the next day. All the medicinal materials in the medicine cabinet were left unpacked. No one knew where it went. A month later, it was looted by the nearby monks. If his lease term had not been left for half a year, the property would have been taken back by the government."
"Did Dr. Qian offend anyone?"
"I don't know." The clerk shrugged, "He asked for a high price and didn't care about the patient's background. He offended a lot of people. Anyway, he hasn't been back since."
Chen Xi stood at the door of the hospital for a while, the wind making the vines rustle. He took one last look into the main hall, turned around and walked to Qin Tiexin.
"Go, next one."
In the next two months, Qin Tiexin followed Chen Xi to four cities and visited five medical practitioners. Before each departure, Chen Xi circled a new location on the map, but the result every time was silence.
The second medical practitioner lives in Long Marsh City on the east side and is a new medical practitioner Third Realm.
He took out Qin Tiexin's severed arm from the jade box and placed it on the examination table. He used a bronze mirror to shine on the fractured area for a full stick of incense. Finally, he put the arm back into the jade box and shook his head. "Extreme Sharpness's Principle remains. The meridians penetrate into the ends of the meridians. This is not a problem of Repair skin, flesh, muscles and bones, Power of Principle is continuing to destroy new tissue. I have just been promoted to the Third Realm, and I cannot deal with this kind of damage at the Principle level."
The third person was Third Realm, a medical practitioner with over a century of experience. He was quite famous. People lined up in front of the door from morning to night. Chen Xi managed to get a number before bringing Qin Tiexin to see him.
After the medical examination, the medical cultivator directly said that he could be taken over and that he could recover at least 80%. After saying that, he turned back to the inner hall and handed it over to his disciples.
His disciple was very polite. After the two sat down, he took out a thick appointment book from the side. He flipped through more than ten pages before turning to the blank space and drew at the end with a pen.
"You two, the tutor's appointment will be in a year and a half at the earliest. We really can't schedule it before then. The master is regulating the meridians of a certain royal family member, so we can't be distracted. You two can pay 50,000 Spirit Stone in advance for the queue number, and any more will be refunded and less will be reimbursed."
Qin Tiexin glanced at the densely packed names on the booklet, decisively put the severed arm back into the jade box, and pulled Chen Xi away.
The fourth one is an old medical practitioner with white hair. He lives in a remote mountain col. The medical center is a few wooden houses with a patch of spirit medicine planted at the door. His cultivation level has declined to Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. He doesn't even have any apprentices or servants, so he has very few people.
He asked Qin Tiexin to lie down on the diagnosis bed, and inserted a hair-thin spiritual needle into the sections of the broken arm and shoulder respectively, and observed the reaction on the spiritual needle.
"Your situation is more complicated. To clear Extreme Sharpness, you need spiritual power accuracy of the Third Realm or above. That's all. The broken arm itself is still at Body Refining Stage. Physical strength, and your current body is already Qi and Blood Realm. To restore the broken arm to a strength that matches your current body is equivalent to re-tempering an arm. This step alone will take me more than half a year of energy."
He paused and squinted his eyes at Qin Tiexin. "I am 480 years old this year. My end is approaching and my energy is low. I really can't take on this job. If you want treatment, you have to find a younger doctor Third Realm."
Qin Tiexin sat up from the diagnosis bed. "Thank you, senior."
The old doctor Xiu waved his hand.
Every time he hit a wall, Chen Xi didn't say much. He just re-expanded the map and moved his finger to the next circle. "Go to the next one."
But Qin Tiexin noticed that the time he spent looking at the map became longer and longer each time, the wrinkles on his brows became deeper each time, and he was not as confident as he was at the beginning.
On the road, Qin Tiexin was not idle either. Every time he arrived at a new place, he would inquire about Lin Household near the medical center or at the gathering place of monks in the city.
But "Lin" is a common surname Heavenly South Domain. Almost every decent city has one or two immortal cultivators named Lin Lineage. Spirit medicine who sells spirit medicine Lin Household has been running a drug store for generations, Lin Household, who runs an escort agency, specializes in cross-city escorts, and Lin Household, who works as a yamen errand, patrols the streets wearing official robes.
Qin Tiexin asked one family after another, but none of them were the same. There was no young disciple with matching appearance and cultivation, and no one knew which Lin Household had a son who went to fight in the mortal world.
After a few times, he also found a way out, Heavenly South Domain Xiu Xian Lineage Anyone with a little bit of fame would carve the family emblem on the lintel of his house. He began to make a habit of walking around the main street and looking at the lintel of a new city every time he arrived. He saw no less than ten kinds of clan emblems with the surname Lin Household, including one with a sword, one with a pine tree, and one with a cloud, but none of them matched the emblem carved on the scabbard of Lin Feng.
When camping in an inn or outdoors at night, he would practice Mountain Stance and Crosswise Ridge Sweep. The iron rod had become a flying tool when he was on the road during the day, and was used as a weight for leg training at night. Edgeless was too heavy, so he started with sticks.
He put the stick across his shoulders and squatted Mountain Stance, with beads of sweat sliding down the dark silver Spirit Rune ring. Mountain Stance lasted from half an hour to an hour, and was finally able to stand with the iron rod tied to it for a full hour. The boots given by Nangong Yao were a big help in leg training. The Lightness Formation on the soles of the boots could adjust the weight at any time. Occasionally, the holes on the uppers of the boots made a short roar when activated.
In two months, Qin Tiexin's leg strength increased from 50,000 kilograms to nearly 60,000 kilograms. Crosswise Ridge Sweep's basic force generation has been engraved into muscle memory, and Hills and Ravines Thrust Kick's kicking movements have also begun to look decent. Only Heavy Savage Chop's leg kicking height is always a little off due to flexibility issues.
After each practice, swallow one Refined Blood Pill, and Fire of Life will wrap up the medicinal power in your heart and flow into your legs. After the soreness subsides, you will see a subtle increase in strength.
Two months later, five medical practitioners looked at it, but none of them could accept it. Qin Tiexin could already fly smoothly on the iron rod, and Mountain Stance could also hold up for an hour. However, the fracture in his right shoulder would still feel a sharp pain like a knife blade every time he moved Qi and Blood, reminding him that the residue of Principle was still firmly embedded in the end of the meridian, motionless.
That evening, Chen Xi, who was originally going to take Qin Tiexin to the capital [Ten Thousand Stars City], suddenly changed direction on the way, and the flying sword drew a half arc in the air and flew towards a hilly area.
The setting sun dyed the low hills ahead dark red, and a small town could be faintly seen at the foot of the hill, surrounded by a few sparse spiritual fields. Chen Xi stood on the tip of the sword and stared in that direction for a long time.
"Senior brother?"
Chen Xi was silent for a few moments before speaking, "This time, I will take you to an... old place." He lowered the flying sword under his feet, took out the disguise ointment from the storage ring and applied it to his face, "I have to change my face before I go."
