Upon hearing this, Zhang Hechu's face showed a hint of embarrassment:
Please forgive me, Your Majesty, but I am also a member of the Zhang Clan clan, and I dare not go in.
Master Jia and the others should be inside. Should I send someone to inform them and ask Master Jia to come out so I can take you in?
Chen Qingyu glanced at him and said;
Then you can go.
Okay, please wait a moment.
Zhang Hechu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward, instructing a black-armored soldier to go to the pavilion to deliver a message.
What he feared most was that Chen Shaojun would force him to go inside.
If even the clan leader gets infected and has to isolate himself, the Zhang Clan will likely descend into chaos.
soon:
thump thump thump
A series of hurried footsteps came from behind the attic door, followed by a creak as the door was pushed open.
Several healers dressed in gray and brown linen robes surrounded an elderly man in a blue robe, who appeared before the gate.
Master Jia!
Zhang Hechu quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully to the old man in the green robe, and looked on with gratitude.
Thank you so much for your help.
The elderly Master Jia, dressed in a green robe, waved his hand, his face showing obvious impatience.
Where is the imperial envoy, Chen Shaojun?
Tell him to hurry up and leave, so as not to delay my treatment.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu's eyes flickered slightly as he sized up the old man in the green robe:
Are you Master Jia?
The old man in the green robe in front of me was only at the Divine Ability Realm, but his whole body exuded a powerful vitality and a fresh fragrance of herbs and trees.
He seems to have the ability to make people feel comfortable and at ease with just a few gestures.
Um?
Master Jia heard the voice, turned around and looked at him carefully before speaking:
So you're Chen Shaojun? Truly, heroes emerge from among the young.
Although I have long resided within the Zhang Clan's inner city, isolated from the outside world, I have still heard of your great name. However...
He paused for a moment before saying calmly:
Forgive my bluntness, but everyone has their own area of expertise.
Your talent for cultivation may be unprecedented, but it's best to be careful when facing this strange Zhang Clan disease.
His words were not very polite to Chen Qingyu, and even contained a hint of annoyance.
Um?
Chen Qingyu narrowed his eyes, then thought for a moment and understood.
This person is the foremost medical master in the Southern Region, and is highly respected by many top forces, holding an extremely high status.
Moreover, Zhang Hechu also said that he received extremely high compensation and was very picky about various things, which clearly showed that he was arrogant and had become accustomed to it.
now:
He stayed for almost half a year, but could only alleviate Zhang Clan's strange illness without being able to cure it.
His sudden arrival and request to see the medical records were clearly seen by him as a sign of distrust and disrespect.
Oh
Having figured this out, Chen Qingyu chuckled softly and said calmly:
There's no need for Master Jia to worry about my affairs.
Lead the way.
Master Jia's face twitched, but he ultimately dared not lash out. He could only flick his sleeve and say coldly:
Please come in with me.
The few healers in coarse clothes clearly didn't dare to interfere in the dispute between the two, and silently lowered their heads as they walked towards the pavilion.
Chen Qingyu and his two companions followed behind the group.
soon:
They walked through a deep corridor and arrived at an extremely spacious bedroom.
Looking around:
This bedroom was as luxurious as a palace, spanning dozens of feet in length and width, with a large black sandalwood bed placed in the center, covered by a bed curtain.
this
Chen Qingyu subconsciously activated the [ Seeing Through Walls ] technique, and was immediately taken aback after just one glance.
On the bed lay a young man with a face as pale as paper and a breath barely perceptible.
This young man should have originally been at the True Gang Realm, but now, not only is his cultivation almost completely ruined, but his body is also weak and decaying, to the point where he is too frail to even wear clothes.
The phrase "too weak to be clothed" was originally an exaggerated description, but now it has become a reality.
The young man was so weak that he lay naked on the bed, giving the impression that he might be crushed to death by his own weight at any moment.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Clan's strange illness was so terrible.
A look of seriousness appeared in Chen Qingyu's eyes.
Hearing is unreliable, seeing is believing.
Even though he had been here for so many days and heard many terrible rumors about the Zhang Clan's strange illness, none of them were as shocking as seeing it with his own eyes now.
A powerful True Gang Realm Venerable, after contracting this strange disease, weakened to the point of being in a state worse than death.
Envoy Chen, you saw it too, didn't you?
Master Jia crossed his arms and spoke calmly:
The Zhang Clan's strange illness is extremely difficult to treat. If it weren't for my constant care, these thousands of direct descendants would have almost all died long ago.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu nodded slightly and exclaimed in admiration:
Master Jia were indeed miraculous; his abilities were extraordinary.
His words were sincere.
It should be noted that the rest of the Zhang Clan family's direct descendants were not much better off after contracting the disease, and they were only kept alive by Master Jia.
His ability to single-handedly protect thousands of infected people from death is a testament to his profound merits and astonishing supernatural powers.
Your Excellency Chen is too kind.
Upon hearing this, Master Jia smiled with satisfaction, a hint of pride on his face.
He doesn't care if others praise him.
But Chen Shaojun is the Number One Heavenly Prodigy of All Time, and now he serves as the Holy Envoy of the Human Race, wielding supreme power. His status is simply terrifying.
Therefore, he found Chen Qingyu's words quite agreeable.
By the way, Master Jia.
Chen Qingyu's expression shifted, and he casually asked:
You've been with the Zhang Clan for almost half a year now. Have you discovered anything about the source of the Zhang Clan strange illness?
Um
Upon hearing this, Master Jia's smile vanished immediately. After a moment's hesitation, he finally spoke:
It is said that there are 48,000 insects in a bowl of water.
The world is filled with countless tiny Dust Gu, invisible to the naked eye. They are divided into two types: one is larger and is alive; the other is smaller and exists in the space between life and death.
When living beings fall ill, besides the aging and decay of their own organs, the main cause is this Dust Gu.
I have always suspected that the root of the Zhang Clan's strange illness is also a special kind of Dust Gu, but despite searching for a long time, I have been unable to find it.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu was immediately taken aback:
Dust Gu? Isn't that just bacteria and viruses?
Master Jia paused for a moment, then said thoughtfully:
Bacteria and viruses are the source of all diseases; this term is quite apt.
He paused for a moment before continuing:
In conclusion, without finding this special type of Dust Gu, Zhang Clan's illness cannot be cured.
He frowned and sighed.
Those who cultivate themselves are already immune to heat and cold and free from all diseases, making them difficult to harm by any kind of Dust Gu.
In the past, I have been invited by many top powers to treat patients, but those cases involving cultivators were either due to poisoning, curses, or evil magic; almost none were caused by the Dust Gu.
However, even I, an old man, am helpless against the Zhang Clan's strange illness. I can only try to alleviate it, but all methods have failed. Therefore, I can only conclude that it is caused by the Dust Gu.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu's eyes suddenly flashed, and he spoke:
Since Master Jia, you have no solution for the time being, why don't I give it a try?
You provided the starting sign-in rewards for the legendary Zhuang Shisan, featuring Chen Qingyu from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Transformations Zhuang Shisan.
