A Blind Cat Stumbles Upon a Dead Mouse
Half a day later, the entire Clear Wind Pavilion was in chaos.
From the sect leader down to the lowest servant.
Almost everyone was sick!
And none of them have any serious illnesses!
Diarrhea, colds, coughs, and fever are all examples of this.
However, some are not so simple, such as water splashes, fire pills wrapped around the waist, and dampness obstruction, etc.
Compared to the previous ones, these are the ones that are giving the dozen or so renowned doctors the biggest headache!
Especially the waist-wrapping fire pills, this thing is very unfriendly to the elderly.
The torment of illness was one thing, but these renowned doctors were, after all, quite old.
Whether or not one can enter the immortal sect is another matter; if one gets infected, whether or not one can save their life is another matter entirely.
Viruses don't respect the elderly or the young.
The eight elders of the Clear Wind Pavilion finally received the news and rushed over in a great hurry.
Previously, when Xuanxuanzi saw that the medicines of these mortal doctors had taken effect, he informed the sect's elder.
Seeing that a solution had been found, the eight people returned directly to their previous location to continue their duties as protectors.
After all, guarding Zhuo Ning was a task assigned by the Fourteenth Prince, and they dared not be careless.
If something goes wrong and Zhuo Ning escapes, then the Fourteenth Prince will truly have no chance to compete for the throne!
In this way, Clear Wind Pavilion's idea of soaring to great heights will naturally fall through.
But in just half a day, the sect had changed into its current state.
"Didn't they say there was a solution? How did it turn out like this?"
The Grand Elder of the Clear Wind Pavilion questioned Xuanxuanzi in an unfriendly tone as soon as he entered.
But when he looked up at Xuanxuanzi, he was completely dumbfounded.
Is this still the same confident and spirited sect leader of the Clear Wind Pavilion from just half a day ago?
At this moment, Xuanxuanzi was wrapped in a cotton quilt, with a stove in front of him and a cup of hot tea in his hands.
But he was still shaking uncontrollably and would sneeze from time to time.
"Replying to... replying to... replying to the Great Elder! Diarrhea... diarrhea... can be cured! But... but other... other symptoms have appeared!"
Seeing that Xuanxuanzi was having difficulty speaking, the Grand Elder could no longer criticize him.
He could only turn his attention to the dozen or so doctors who were currently busy.
It's strange, though. Problems have arisen throughout the sect, but these dozen or so mortals are completely unaffected!
This situation quickly alerted the eight Loose Immortal.
"Is it poison? But it doesn't really seem like it!"
"I think it's more like a plague! But the disciples' symptoms are all different, so it doesn't seem like a plague!"
"Mortals are unaffected; this is clearly a tactic targeting us cultivators!"
"Could it be the Blood Red Immortal Kingdom? Maybe it's something those Evil Dao sects did!"
The group chatted amongst themselves, but couldn't come up with a solution for a long time.
The Grand Empress Dowager then addressed a busy physician, saying, "You! Come here!"
The old man was walking among the disciples when he suddenly heard someone whispering in his ear, which startled him.
However, he soon noticed the eight immortal masters looking at him, so he obediently stepped forward and responded.
"My esteemed immortal master, what can I do for you?"
"I'm asking you, what exactly is wrong with the disciples of my sect?"
"In response to your question, Immortal Master, I have practiced medicine for most of my life, but this is the first time I have encountered such a situation! Logically speaking, Immortal Masters possess extraordinary Immortal Method, and these mortal ailments should not appear on them! Yet, it is true that each Immortal Master is currently suffering from at least two or three ailments!"
After a pause, the old man continued, "Treating these illnesses isn't actually difficult, but treating so many at the same time is a nightmare not only for me, but for all the other doctors!"
The Grand Elder looked up and saw that, apart from the one in front of him, a dozen or so other doctors were running around among the many disciples.
It's a never-ending cycle of diagnosis, prescription, diagnosis, and prescription.
The dosage of a hundred times the normal amount was terrifying, but the Clear Wind Pavilion disciples had no choice but to stuff it into their mouths as much as possible.
Didn't you see the sect leader eating over there?
At a time like this, who can afford to be sentimental?
However, they discovered that the dosage of medication they were taking seemed to be inversely proportional to the severity of their symptoms.
The more you eat, the more diseases you cure.
Then more new symptoms will appear in the body.
The situation seemed to have fallen into a vicious cycle, and even the dozen or so doctors who were nearly exhausted dared not continue.
If this continues, they might die from exhaustion from seeing doctors!
At this moment, the entire hall seemed to freeze, with only Xuanxuanzi's sneeze echoing in the middle.
"Your Majesty! What should we do?"
"Should we consider seeking help from other sects?"
Faced with the other elders' questions, the First Elder did not respond. Instead, he pondered for a moment before speaking uncertainly, "Do you think this might be related to Zhuo Ning, whom we have trapped?"
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the others lit up instantly.
That's certainly possible!
Despite having pledged allegiance to the Fourteenth Prince, Clear Wind Pavilion enjoys a good reputation within the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom.
Over the years, he has made almost no enemies.
The only explanation for this situation is that it's related to Zhuo Ning, who is trapped in the back mountain!
Although they weren't entirely sure, the elders still rushed back to the back mountain.
Zhuo Ning, who was resting with her eyes closed and waiting for Yi Xuan's rescue, suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.
Opening his eyes, he was astonished to find all eight of the Supreme Elders of the Clear Wind Pavilion present.
Does he want to kill me?
Such a thought popped into Zhuo Ning's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.
Just kidding! It's not a big deal that Clear Wind Pavilion imprisoned him.
After all, this is a standard competitive tactic, and the Immortal Kingdom will not interfere.
But if they harm Zhuo Ning, the situation is completely different.
If they were to kill the contenders for the throne of the Immortal Kingdom, let alone if they had eight or eighty Loose Immortal, the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom would surely uproot their entire sect.
The bottom line of the Immortal Kingdom cannot be crossed!
"Prince Ning, I never imagined that you, the least noticeable prince, would possess such methods!"
Although Zhuo Ning didn't understand what the other person was saying, she wasn't intimidated at all.
"Hehe, you flatter me. These are just some low-class tricks; I'm sorry to have made them a laughingstock among the seniors!"
In fact, Zhuo Ning had no idea what had happened, but using someone else's name to intimidate others and spread rumors was his specialty; his main tactic was to deceive people.
As long as I hold back, the other party will never be able to see my hand.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Ning smiled and said, "But it seems my methods are still not clever enough! If they were any better, I wouldn't be here right now!"
Zhuo Ning meant that he didn't have enough guards, which was why he was captured by the Clear Wind Pavilion and brought here.
But to the elders of the Clear Wind Pavilion, it sounded quite different.
They felt that Zhuo Ning was threatening them; if they didn't release him, he would use even more sophisticated methods to deal with the Clear Wind Pavilion!
These words threw the eight Loose Immortal into a state of utter confusion.
Yi Xuan and Liang Shi exclaimed at the same time, "It really was a blind cat catching a dead mouse!"
