Medical Hall

There were over twenty people who arrived, a mix of men and women. The leader was a woman who looked only about twenty years old, dressed in green robes, with a serene Aura.

Long Chen, Tang Waner, and the other three walked out of the Immortal Cave, feeling rather confused as to why so many people had come.

The woman glanced at the three of them and asked with some confusion, "Which one of you is this year's Core Disciple?"

Tang Waner hurriedly stepped forward and said, "That would be me."

The woman looked Tang Waner up and down and couldn't help but praise, "Little Sister, you have a beauty that topples cities, like a Fairy descending to the mortal realm. To think your talent is also so exceptional; it really makes one envious."

"You flatter me. May I ask, Senior Sister, what is this about…" Tang Waner asked tentatively.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce us. We are applicants from the previous generation, and we are also your Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters. My name is Qi Yue, and you can call me Senior Sister Qi Yue."

"However, we are different from the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters you encountered before. We are from the Medical Hall, and we've come to check your health," Qi Yue said with a smile.

Long Chen finally understood. Before the Elder left earlier, he had mentioned that someone would come to help them treat their injuries.

After all, they had just experienced a great battle. Although they had all consumed Spirit Medicine to suppress their injuries, it would likely take a month or two to fully recover.

After all, it was a life-or-death battle where they had used every possible means. Some people had even resorted to self-mutilating techniques just to barely pass.

It could be said that among those who passed, except for Long Chen, there was basically no one who wasn't injured; it was just a matter of whether the injuries were light or heavy.

"Gather your people. There is a stone bead in front of your Immortal Cave; just give it a gentle tap, and those below will know," said Qi Yue.

Tang Waner finally noticed the stone bead, which was as tall as a person. She extended her jade hand and gave it a gentle tap.

The stone bead trembled slightly and emitted a dark red luster. Once the luster faded, Long Chen immediately noticed that the mountainside seemed to erupt into chaos, and everyone began walking toward the summit.

It was actually a communication device. Long Chen couldn't help but be stunned, thinking to himself, if he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, could he tap it to see what happens?

As everyone arrived, Tang Waner explained the purpose of the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters to them, which made everyone overjoyed.

Long Chen was also curious about what this Medical Hall was actually for. It shouldn't be like in the Empire, where they take your pulse and prescribe medicine, right?

"Everyone, line up. One by one."

The first to arrive was an Outer Sect Disciple with a somewhat pale face. He had suffered very serious internal injuries. Although he had taken a Medicinal Pill, it had only suppressed the injuries and he still needed time to slowly recover.

A woman reached out and gently patted the man's chest. Long Chen immediately sensed a powerful essence Qi permeating the air.

Long Chen's heart stirred. He felt like he had encountered that essence Qi somewhere before. Suddenly, he remembered.

Back in the Imperial Capital, when Chu Yao held that tree branch and made it sprout and bloom, wasn't it this exact type of Aura that was emitted?

The woman nodded and said, "Your internal organs have suffered a massive shock, and some have ruptured. It seems you were quite desperate."

After speaking, amidst everyone's shocked gazes, a vine slowly crawled out from the woman's palm and wrapped around the man, while simultaneously channeling powerful essence Qi into his body.

The man's originally pale complexion immediately began to return to normal, and even his lost blood and Qi were greatly replenished.

"What a miraculous technique."

Long Chen couldn't help but be startled, looking at the woman with shock. With people like this around, who needs healing medicine?

Qi Yue looked at everyone's shocked expressions and couldn't help but smile, "We Disciples of the Medical Hall possess the Essence of Wood Spirits; we are what others call Wood Cultivators."

"We can store a large amount of Wood Spirit Qi within our bodies, which we can use to heal others, but it is not as Heaven-Defying as you imagine."

"Our Spiritual Qi is limited; we cannot heal people without restriction. As for the miraculous effects in your eyes, that is only because your cultivation base is low, so the amount of Spiritual Qi consumed is not large."

Everyone finally understood, but they were still deeply shocked by such miraculous power. The world was too wondrous; if they hadn't come to the Xuantian Branch, they wouldn't even know such Cultivators existed.

"Thank you for your great kindness, Senior Sister."

The man hurriedly bowed to the woman. He could now hardly feel any abnormality from his injuries, and even his depleted blood and Qi had been mostly replenished, which filled him with gratitude toward the woman.

At this time, others also began to come forward one after another to receive treatment. It had to be said that this method of healing was truly too miraculous.

Regardless of whether it was external or internal injuries, the woman's Spiritual Qi possessed an extremely powerful restorative ability, practically comparable to Spirit Medicine.

After the woman had treated a dozen or so people, another person took over, also using Wood Spirit power to heal everyone. Long Chen estimated that such treatment would consume a large amount of their Spiritual Qi, which is why they needed to come as a group.

"Junior Sister, your face is pale and your blood and Qi are severely deficient. Let me, your Senior Brother, help you."

A tall and handsome man walked out with a gentle smile on his face and spoke to Tang Waner.

Tang Waner glanced at the man and shook her head, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother, but I would like to ask Senior Sister Qi Yue to help me with my treatment."

The man froze, a trace of displeasure appearing in his eyes. Being rejected made him unhappy, but he still smiled and said, "That is fine too. Junior Sister Qi Yue's medical skills are famously superb."

However, Long Chen could tell that he wasn't complimenting Qi Yue, but rather pointing out that he was Qi Yue's Senior Brother.

Tang Waner nodded and walked to Qi Yue's side, saying, "I will have to trouble you, Senior Sister Qi Yue."

She had gone through two consecutive great battles and her body was very weak. She also wanted to experience the miraculous power of a Wood Cultivator.

Qi Yue smiled slightly, her jade hand gently resting on Tang Waner's fragrant shoulder, and her Spiritual Qi slowly extended outward.

"You… you actually Awakened the Ancestral Rune?" Qi Yue looked at Tang Waner with a shocked expression.

Tang Waner nodded and secretly glanced at Long Chen, feeling a surge of joy in her heart. She was able to Awaken the Ancestral Rune thanks to Long Chen.

Before coming to the Branch, her Family had placed her in "desperate situations" multiple times to put pressure on her, but they were still unable to force her to Awaken the Ancestral Rune.

Later, in order to help Long Chen and buy him more time, she and Ye Zhiqiu finally Awakened the Ancestral Rune in the face of an absolute death threat.

At the time, the two of them didn't know it. It was only when they were treating their injuries that they discovered the rune imprint within their Bloodline had become increasingly clear, which left them overjoyed.

The Awakening of the Ancestral Rune meant that their future path of cultivation would be a smooth one, opening the first gate on the path of cultivation.

"Little Sister, you are truly amazing."

Qi Yue was full of admiration. The Spiritual Qi began to continue flowing into Tang Waner's body. Qi Yue's Spiritual Qi radiated a powerful vitality, making one feel completely comfortable.

Tang Waner could feel the hidden injuries within her body slowly recovering. Qi Yue's Spiritual power was like water droplets that seeped into every pore, flowing through every corner of Tang Waner's body.

No matter how hidden the internal injuries were, they had nowhere to hide in the face of that powerful Spiritual Qi and began to recover at an accelerated rate.

However, unlike with the others, as the healing began, more and more hidden injuries were discovered within Tang Waner's body. Even someone as powerful as Qi Yue had to begin increasing the input of Spiritual Qi.

As Qi Yue exerted her full effort, powerful Spiritual Qi erupted from her jade hand, forming a faint curtain of light around the two of them.

Tang Waner was already a beauty who could topple cities, and with the addition of the faint curtain of light, she appeared even more like a Fairy who did not eat mortal food.

The man who had previously wanted to heal Tang Waner looked at her with eyes filled with admiration. There were few people in the world who could resist her beauty.

Long Chen glanced at the man in front of him and couldn't help but feel a sense of revulsion. If he liked her, he should just pursue her openly.

Acting like a proud rooster, thinking that he could attract her just by relying on his beautiful feathers?

If you are truly proud, then be proud to the end. But when she isn't looking at you, you immediately reveal a lecherous face. I despise such low-skill posturing most of all.

Anyway, he didn't know why, but looking at this person made Long Chen very unhappy. However, Long Chen wouldn't be foolish enough to provoke him, as he was here to heal everyone.

The process of healing Tang Waner was very slow. The others had already treated everyone, and even Qing Yu had been checked, though she didn't have any injuries.

When a woman was about to heal Long Chen, he prepared to refuse, because he knew he didn't have any injuries at all.

Furthermore, if he let the other party's Spiritual Qi enter his body, the fact that he had no Spiritual Root in his Dantian would be exposed, and he didn't like being talked about behind his back.

However, before Long Chen could refuse, that Senior Brother stopped her. Long Chen couldn't help but be stunned. That Senior Brother glanced at Long Chen coldly without explaining why.

Although Long Chen found it strange in his heart, this was fine, as he didn't have to say anything himself. He turned his gaze toward Tang Waner.

"Hoo."

Qi Yue let out a long breath and shook her head, "As expected of a Core Disciple who has Awakened the Ancestral Rune. Repairing your injuries consumed fully half of my Spiritual Qi."

The Disciples who had originally come with Qi Yue couldn't help but be shocked. One had to know that Qi Yue was one of the best among them; aside from that Senior Brother, she was the most powerful.

And yet, repairing the injuries of a Blood Condensation Realm Disciple had actually consumed half of her Spiritual Qi. It was truly unbelievable.

They were all Wood Cultivators and knew that the stronger the person being healed, the more Spiritual Qi it consumed. It seemed that the girl in front of them, who looked like a Heavenly Immortal, was definitely a terrifying expert.

"You've worked hard, Senior Sister. Wait a moment."

Tang Waner felt completely comfortable, and there wasn't a single injury left in her body. She was very grateful to Qi Yue and ran back into the Immortal Cave to pour her a cup of Royal Jelly Crystal.

"Hehe, what a sensible little sister. Thank you. Eh… is this Jade Bee Royal Jelly? No, Royal Jelly doesn't have so many crystals. This is… Royal Jelly Crystal?" Qi Yue couldn't help but be shocked, clearly recognizing the treasure.

Tang Waner smiled slightly and said, "Little Sister was lucky and managed to steal a piece. Sister, drink it quickly; it will solidify in a moment."

Long Chen couldn't help but curl his lip. She was using his things to do favors again, but the girl was alright; she knew how to keep a low profile.

"Junior Brother, I see that your health is not very good. Let me, your Senior Brother, check you. You should know that I, your Senior Brother, rarely take action to heal others." The man looked at Long Chen with a smile on his face and walked toward him.
