"Grandmaster Qing Yang is a quack?"
"He's a fool with poor medical skills?"
Everyone was stunned.
Mo Yu, who had a grudge against Zhang Xuan, was taken aback as well.
To say that a grandmaster physician is a quack... This was equivalent to insulting the other party's professionalism. This was a complete fall out.
You don't know anything about the Way of Medicine, so why are you putting on an act?
Even though it wasn't common to castrate a savage beast, it wasn't unheard of. Given the state of the Steelfang Howling Heaven Tiger, was there any other way?
"Beast Tamer Zhang..."
Not expecting the other party to speak at this moment, Hall Master Feng's face darkened. He hurriedly waved his hands, "Grandmaster Qing Yang, don't be angry. He didn't do it on purpose..."
"Shut up!"
Grandmaster Qing Yang's face was savage, as though an enraged lion. He stared at the young man before him coldly and said, "I, Qing Yang, have been practicing medicine for thirty-nine years, and my reputation has spread throughout the kingdom. I have treated countless patients, and this is the first time I've been insulted in such a manner. Lad, I don't care whether you're an official beast tamer or not. If you don't make things clear today, don't blame me for getting nasty! "
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura surged into the clouds, forcing Yun Tao and the others to retreat.
To think that he was a Zongshi realm expert as well!
Regardless of the occupation, not only did it require talent, it also required strength to match it. Most 2-star occupations were Zongshi realm experts. This was precisely the reason why 1-star occupations were known as masters, and 2-star occupations were known as Zongshi. This wasn't just a sign of respect for the occupation, it was also a sign of respect for one's cultivation.
As the most formidable physician in Beiwu Kingdom, Qing Yang had never been insulted in such a manner before. If not for his high self-restraint, he would have long flown into a rage.
"The reason why I didn't get insulted like that... is because I didn't meet you. If I had met you earlier, I would have scolded you long ago!"
Facing the other party's pressure, Zhang Xuan looked at him calmly.
Grandmaster Qing Yang's eyebrows twitched. "Do you think that I don't dare to kill you?"
"Kill me? You made a rash diagnosis without seeing through the illness. If I were to do as you said, not only would I fail to save this Howling Heaven Beast, I might even cause it to die on the spot... Is this the conclusion of your diagnosis? If you aren't a quack, what else can you be? You even dared to kill me … How can you be so thick-skinned? "Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes.
"You..."
Upon hearing those words, Grandmaster Qing Yang was so infuriated that he nearly spurted blood.
Releasing the full might of his Zongshi realm aura, he thought that the other party would apologise with a trembling voice. Never in his dreams did he expect the other party to speak so confidently and even scold him for being thick-skinned...
For a grandmaster of the Physician to be insulted in public, was, Qing and Qing.
"is" Qing Qing! Then let me tell you! "
Just as it was about to fly into a rage, the young man before it suddenly walked up to the Howling Firmament Beast.
"If you want to look at the Steelfang Howling Firmament Beast's age, the most direct basis is its teeth. The How, Yang, Wu Gu, Hows Wu, Qing. Yang, Zhang Qing, Wu, Wu, "" The Zhang, "Howl," Tao "How," Beast of, "Fer. A Ling,", "with"
", he, Yang," Qing said, "Meng" Gu "," "Qing.," Qing, "Wu.," Qing is Qing, Yang, he. If I'm not wrong, he should only be seventeen. Considering the Howling Firmament Beast's lifespan of two hundred years, he can only be considered as a child... I would like to ask, how can a young savage beast have the desire to mate? "
Hall Master Feng and the others thought that Zhang Xuan was fooling around. Upon hearing those words, they were taken aback.
Others might not know how old this Howling Firmament Beast was, but they were well aware of its age. It had been raised here since young, and it had been seventeen years.
If they didn't know about it beforehand, they wouldn't have believed that it was only seventeen just by looking at its massive size.
Compared to a two-hundred-year-old savage beast, this age was equivalent to a seventeen-year-old human.
"It's a savage beast..." Grandmaster Qing Yang harrumphed. However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted.
"Don't tell me that the body of a savage beast is different from that of a human, and their development is different as well. If this fellow is really in heat and wants to find a mate, it would at most be unbearably hot and short-tempered. Once it goes into heat, it would fall into a deep sleep... Grandmaster Qing Yang's judgment, could it be that... you are in the same state as it?"
Zhang Xuan continued.
"That's right!"
"At most, one would feel uncomfortable during heat. I've never heard of anyone who would fall into a coma from longing for a woman!"
Everyone was taken aback for a moment before they started muttering among themselves.
It was a physiological need for a mature savage beast to find a mate. This wasn't just a case for savage beasts, it was also the case for humans. However, they had never heard of anyone who would fall into a coma just because they couldn't find a girlfriend.
This didn't make sense at all!
"Hmph!"
Grandmaster Qing Yang's face turned red. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to reply. Flinging his sleeves, he harrumphed, "You said that it isn't in heat, so why is it so anxious? Especially on a full moon night, it runs back and forth, so it has an inexhaustible energy to vent? "
"Anxious and has an inexhaustible energy to vent, so it wants to ask for a mate? What kind of theory is that? " Zhang Xuan shook his head. "If that's the only reason, why doesn't it want to eat? Why can't anything pique its interest?"
Grandmaster Qing Yang was speechless.
If it really wanted to ask for a mate, even if the savage beast didn't say it, it would at least express it in various ways. It was indeed perplexing that it didn't want to eat and wasn't interested in anything.
"Based on the words of that apprentice, we can deduce that ten days ago, this fellow just didn't want to eat. Over the past few days, its condition gradually worsened, and this morning, it couldn't take it any longer and fell into a coma. If it really wanted to choose a mate, it could have just flown away. I don't think the Beast Hall has restrained it with a metal chain to prevent it from flying! "
Everyone nodded their heads.
The Beast Hall couldn't wait to fawn over it, so how could it possibly restrain this fellow?
If it really wanted to choose a mate, it could have flown out to look for one. There was no need for it to remain in the courtyard until it fainted!
Hearing this analysis, everyone doubted Grandmaster Qing Yang's diagnosis, and they looked at him with bizarre gazes.
"Then... What do you think is going on?"
Grandmaster Qing Yang's face paled. He realized that he had overlooked many things, and his anger dissipated. Thus, he asked.
"If it isn't seeking a mate, then the rest is simple... That is, the Howling Firmament Beast is really suffering from a serious illness or some other reason!" Zhang Xuan scanned the surroundings. "Everyone, take a look at the claws of the Howling Firmament Beast."
"Unlike eagle-type savage beasts, the Howling Firmament Beast has a thick layer of muscles, similar to the feet of a human. Under normal circumstances, its claws should be greenish-gold in color, but the one before us has red lines on its flesh."
Everyone turned to look at the claws of the Howling Firmament Beast, and indeed, they noticed some blood-red lines.
These lines were extremely fine, similar to capillaries. If one didn't look carefully, it would be hard to notice them.
"Most savage beasts have a flesh crown, and this Howling Firmament Beast is no exception. Under normal circumstances, its flesh crown is blood-red in color. However, at this moment, it is slightly white. Even though it is slight, it is still visible." Zhang Xuan continued.
Everyone turned to look at it once more, and it was just as he said.
"What kind of illness is this?"
Seeing how Zhang Xuan pointed out the minute changes, everyone began to believe his words. Hall Master Feng couldn't help but ask.
"It isn't really an illness. In fact, I have to congratulate Hall Master Feng."
Zhang Xuan chuckled.
"Congratulate? Why would you congratulate me? "
Hall Master Feng was dumbfounded.
The Howling Firmament Beast was unconscious, and it was hard to tell if its life was in danger. Besides, even if he knew of the illness and knew how to treat it, he had to wake it up first. Why would he congratulate him now?
"If I'm not wrong, the Howling Firmament Beast has undergone a Bloodline Evolution!" Zhang Xuan said.
"Bloodline Evolution? How... How is that possible? "
Hall Master Feng was taken aback. Everyone else was in disbelief as well.
The Bloodline Evolution of a savage beast was similar to a mutation, and it was extremely rare. Without a trigger, it was impossible for it to happen.
The so-called inducement was the absorption of purer blood, or the ingestion of some Heavenly Treasures …
None of these seemed to have happened before!
Furthermore, even if the Howling Firmament Beast had undergone a Bloodline Evolution, it shouldn't have fallen into a coma.
Seeing the crowd's disbelief, Zhang Xuan chuckled lightly. Turning to Hall Master Feng, he asked, "Half a month ago, did this Steelfang Howling Firmament Beast go to an area with dense yin energy?"
"This... Half a month ago, it sent someone to the Chilling Wind Valley!" The one who replied was Beast Tamer Wang.
He was the one who sent it there, so he remembered it clearly.
"The Chilling Wind Valley is filled with dense yin energy, and it produces a powerful yin attribute fruit known as the Chilling Wind Fruit. It can raise the cultivation of those with yin attribute. I believe that person used this as a reward! "Zhang Xuan said.
"Yes!" Beast Tamer Wang nodded.
Riding on the beast mounts of the Beast Hall could be done in exchange for money or rare treasures.
The Chilling Wind Fruit was extremely famous, and if it was sold individually, it would fetch an exorbitant price. Naturally, Beast Tamer Wang agreed to it.
"The reason lies in this Chilling Wind Fruit!"
Zhang Xuan chuckled. "I believe everyone here knows the gender of this Howling Firmament Beast. It's a male. After consuming the Chilling Wind Fruit, the yin and yang energy in its body clashed. Logically speaking, it would only feel a little discomfort. Given its massive size, it should be able to overcome its affliction quickly! Yet, you fed it Spirit Cleansing Water. "
"Spirit Cleansing Water calms one's mind, and it can calm one's agitation. The main ingredient of this water is [Yeast Grass]."
"This is a medicine that calms one's body, so it should be fine no matter how much one consumes it. However, it just so happens that the attribute of this herb clashes with the Chilling Wind Fruit. The moment it comes into contact with the Chilling Wind Fruit, its yin energy will burst forth, and the effects will be amplified threefold. The combination of the two is the main ingredient for forging the [Unravel Yang Pill], and it has great effects on those with yang attribute."
Zhang Xuan continued, "The yang attribute in the Howling Firmament Beast's body is stimulated, and that's why it can't sleep at night. Thus, it possesses an inexhaustible amount of energy!"
"If that was the case, it would still be able to persist. As long as the yin and yang energy in its body are balanced, it would be able to resolve its affliction. However... Hall Master Feng fed it two more [Heat Quenching Pills]."
At this point, Zhang Xuan shook his head in pity, "The Heat Quenching Pill contains the Extreme Frost Grass, and it can dispel the yang energy in one's body... The Howling Firmament Beast has just awakened the yang energy in its body, and yet, you fed it two of them at once. This is equivalent to throwing ice cubes onto a flame... It's already fortunate that it didn't die on the spot!"
Honestly speaking, this Howling Firmament Beast was truly pitiful. It was initially fine, but it was nearly killed by them.
Treating it... That was practically murder!
The complexions of Hall Master Feng, Beast Tamer Lu, and the others darkened.
Clearly, they didn't expect the Howling Firmament Beast to be in such a state because... they fed it the wrong medicine!
"Try to recall. Is it because the Howling Firmament Beast's condition worsened after it was fed with the medicine?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"Yes..." Recalling the words of the apprentice, everyone nodded their heads.
That was indeed the case.
No one could have expected that the medicine they fed to the Howling Firmament Beast would have an adverse effect.
"The yang energy in its body has been awakened, and it is clashing with the cold energy. If we were to castrate it now, the yang energy would dissipate and the yin energy would rise. In less than two hours, it would stop breathing and die on the spot!"
At this point, Zhang Xuan turned to Grandmaster Qing Yang and said, "This is also the reason why I called you a quack. If we were to do as you say, not only would we be unable to save the Howling Firmament Beast, it would be a corpse by now. "
"This..."
Grandmaster Qing Yang's body turned cold. As a 2-star physician, he had a deep understanding of the Way of Medicine. The other party's analysis was flawless, as though he had seen it with his own eyes. Even Grandmaster Qing Yang was impressed by the other party's words. He wanted to refute the other party, but he couldn't find a reason to do so.
"You mentioned Bloodline Evolution just now. What's going on?"
Fearing that Grandmaster Qing Yang would be put in a difficult position, Hall Master Feng hurriedly changed the topic.
"The yang energy in its body has been awakened, and once it stabilizes, it will undergo a Bloodline Evolution. Otherwise, it will die. In other words, if the Howling Firmament Beast can survive the Bloodline Evolution, its cultivation will improve, and it will benefit greatly from it. If it fails, it will die. "
"Then... is there a way to save it?" Hall Master Feng asked anxiously.
"Of course there is. However... it might require the assistance of an apothecary." Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment before saying.
"Mo Yu xiaojie is an official apothecary. She can help." Yun Tao hurriedly said.
Everyone's gazes gathered on Zhang Xuan.
"What do you want me to do? I can do it." Mo Yu placed her hands behind her back and said proudly.
Even though she wasn't too interested in this fellow before her, she was willing to do anything as long as she could save the Howling Firmament Beast.
Besides, she was inferior to the other party in other aspects. This time, she could finally display her talent as an apothecary and wipe away her previous humiliation.
Aren't you skilled in beast taming? Aren't you a master teacher apprentice? Aren't you able to point out the basics of the Way of Medicine?
Even though I can't compare to you in these aspects, at the very least, I have a Way of Pill Forging!
At the very least, I am an official 1-star apothecary!
She walked out of the crowd proudly. Just as she was about to ask the other party how she could help, the young man frowned and asked doubtfully.
"Do you... know how to forge pills?"
"You..."
Mo Yu staggered and she nearly exploded on the spot.
Do you even know how to speak properly?
I am a 1-star apothecary, of course I know how to forge pills!
How did you pass the examination without knowing how to forge pills?
She knew that this fellow wouldn't say anything nice, but she didn't expect him to be so despicable.
Gritting her teeth, her breathing hastened, and her chest heaved up and down. "Have you ever seen an apothecary who doesn't know how to forge pills?"
"I have..." Zhang Xuan shook his head. "I'm afraid that you are an apothecary who has achieved Pill Debate as well. If that's the case, you won't know how to forge pills..."
"Pill Debate? That is something that only apothecaries who have reached a certain level of proficiency in pill forging are capable of! "
Mo Yu's eyes were filled with admiration. "Every single one of these elders possesses astounding talent, and yet you say that they don't know how to forge pills? You must be joking! If you dare to say such words in the Apothecary Guild, you will definitely be beaten to death... "
Before she could finish her words, the young man before her silently took out an apothecary emblem and wore it on his body. Then, he scratched his head awkwardly.
"I am the kind of elder you speak of. It just so happens that I don't know how to forge pills..."
