In Tianwu royal palace, a middle-aged man sat on a high throne.
The emperor of Tianwu Kingdom, Mo Tianxue!
"You said that someone challenged the guild leader of the Physician Guild and solved nineteen questions on the Wall of Dilemma consecutively?"
He stared at the other party in disbelief.
The Wall of Dilemma of the Physician Guild was filled with innumerable questions that had remained unsolved for many years. Even a 4-star physician would find it hard to solve them all at once. Yet, a fellow who popped out of nowhere solved nineteen questions consecutively, and every single one of them was of Perfection...
This was way too unbelievable!
"It's true!" A gray-robed man stood below and clasped his fist respectfully.
Judging from the faint aura of this gray-robed man, he was actually a Zongshi realm expert.
Those who were familiar with the history of the kingdom would definitely know that this was the most mysterious guard of Tianwu Kingdom — — Shadow Squad!
The Shadow Squad was personally led by Mo Tianxue, and they carried out shady missions in the shadows.
Given that such a huge incident had happened in the Physician Guild, the emperor was the first to receive news of it.
"To be able to solve the questions on the Wall of Dilemma so quickly and come up with a perfect prescription, that person's Way of Medicine must have reached at least 4-star or even 5-star!"
Mo Tianxue clenched his fists tightly.
"Indeed. If such an incredible Way of Medicine could be utilized by the kingdom, he would surely be able to resolve the hidden injuries that have appeared in his cultivation. Perhaps, he might even be able to help His Majesty achieve a breakthrough!"
The gray-robed man clasped his fist.
"That's right!" Mo Tianxue's eyes lit up. He hurriedly turned to the gray-robed man and asked, "Have you found out who the culprit is?"
As long as it was a cultivation technique, there was no such thing as a perfect one. As one cultivated it, one would inevitably suffer from various kinds of hidden injuries.
Even though it wouldn't affect one's life or cultivation, it would restrict one's cultivation, preventing one from advancing any further.
If one could cure this hidden injury, one might be able to advance a step further in one's cultivation.
Of course, this was only a possibility. After all, physicians were only capable of treating illnesses, not master teachers. Even so, curing a hidden injury would definitely increase one's lifespan and increase one's vigor.
No one would be able to reject such an ability.
"We have already investigated it. The culprit is... a newly recruited teacher in Tianwu Academy. His name is Liu Cheng! He is an ordinary teacher who has passed the Quanhai Teacher Guild examination in Quanhai City. At twenty-four, his cultivation is at Tongxuan realm primary stage. Your Majesty, this is his information! "
After saying that, the gray-robed man passed a piece of paper over.
To be able to investigate Liu Cheng in such a short time and find all the information, as expected of the Shadow Guards, terrifying!
"Un!" Grabbing the paper, Mo Tianxue began reading through it.
It was densely packed with detailed information about Liu Cheng.
He had to admit that Mingshi Tang's identity was indeed impressive. There were no loopholes at all. Even the Shadow Guards could only find this much.
"To think that an ordinary teacher in Quanhai City would possess such incredible medical skills! Prepare an extra gift for Master Teacher Zhang Xuan. Once he leaves the Wall of Dilemma, pay him a visit! "
After looking through the information and confirming that the other party was innocent, Mo Tianxue waved his hands excitedly.
"A gift for Zhang Shi?" The grey-clothed man was taken aback.
As a trusted aide, he knew how precious the gift for Zhang Shi was.
"Indeed. A genius of his caliber is already comparable to Zhang Shi. In fact, he might even be more useful to us than Zhang Shi!" Mo Tianxue said.
"Yes!" The grey-clothed man nodded.
"Let's go. Accompany me to the Physician Guild!" After which, Mo Tianxue walked out without any hesitation.
...
In Tianwu Academy, Principal Xie sat in his courtyard with a depressed expression.
To be criticized by a new teacher, anyone would feel extremely embarrassed.
"Principal, principal..."
Just as he was thinking of how he should suppress his anger, an elder suddenly rushed in.
"What's wrong?"
Principal Xie frowned.
"That... Liu laoshi went to the Physician Guild to challenge the Wall of Dilemma!" The elder said.
"Challenge the Wall of Dilemma? Challenging Guild Leader Mu Hong? Is that fellow sick in the head? "Principal Xie's body swayed, and he nearly fainted on the spot.
Why would you run to the Physician Guild instead of a proper teacher? More importantly... challenging the Wall of Dilemma and challenging the guild leader, are you insane?
"He sure is worrisome. However, that fellow is indeed capable. He will be the future pillar of the academy, so nothing must happen to him!"
Even though the other party had embarrassed him, as a fellow teacher, he still had to stand up for the other party. "Bring me my name scroll. I'll pay Guild Leader Mu Hong a visit right now. I hope that he won't pursue this matter on my account!"
"No, challenging the Wall of Dilemma is equivalent to challenging the guild leader's position. Guild Leader Mu Hong won't let this matter go so easily... How about this, let's go to Mingshi Tang and look for Pavilion Master Jiang. It should be better for him to make an appearance! "
In an instant, Principal Xie contemplated the consequences of the matter. He stood up and was about to rush to Mingshi Tang.
"Cough cough... Principal, calm down. Let me finish my words..."
He had only said a single sentence, but the school head had already reacted so strongly. He couldn't help but feel stifled.
"What's the point of saying so much? I know Guild Leader Mu Hong's temper very well. He will definitely fly into a rage after being challenged! Even though this Liu laoshi is arrogant, he is still a student of our Tianwu Academy. We can't allow anything to happen to him. Otherwise, what will become of our academy's face? "
Principal Xie gestured grandly and walked out.
But barely after taking two steps, he was stopped by an elder.
"Principal, let me finish my words..."
The elder nearly fainted.
Why are you getting so agitated? Can't you just let me finish my words?
"Speak, it can't be that... he has already been taught a lesson by Guild Leader Mu Hong!" Seeing how anxious the other party was, an ominous premonition surfaced in Principal Xie's heart. Gedeng!
"No, it's that... Liu laoshi has solved nineteen questions on the Wall of Dilemma consecutively and produced a perfect prescription... The entire Physician Guild is in an uproar right now!"
Fearing that the other party's thoughts would run wild, the elder hurriedly explained.
"Solved nineteen questions on the Wall of Dilemma? Produced a perfect prescription... "Principal Xie was taken aback. Only then did he recover from the shock, and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets." You mean that... Liu laoshi has already broken Physician Mu Hong's record and become the new guild leader of the Physician Guild? "
"Yes..."
The elder smiled bitterly.
When he first heard the news, he also seemed to have gone insane. His expression wasn't any better than Principal Xie's.
"This... This... How is this possible?"
Principal Xie was dumbfounded.
...
Oblivious to the huge commotion outside, Zhang Xuan was currently staring at the final question on the Wall of Dilemma.
Even though the Library of Heaven's Path could only identify flaws and not provide an answer, illnesses were different from other occupations.
Illnesses were caused by a flaw in one's body. As long as one could find this flaw, it was easy to solve the problem.
This was precisely the reason why the first nineteen questions on the Wall of Dilemma were easily solved by Zhang Xuan. He didn't even need to think for too long before he came up with an answer.
"Innate Muscular Deficiency: Lack of strength in one's body and one's lifespan is less than twenty. How to treat it?"
The final question was inscribed on the wall. There was only a short sentence on it, and it looked extremely simple.
"Innate Muscular Deficiency?"
With a thought, a book appeared in Zhang Xuan's mind.
Mingshi Tang had collected quite a few books on occupations, and as one of the top occupations in the Upper Nine Paths, he had collected quite a few of them. It just so happened that there was an introduction to this illness.
"Innate Muscular Deficiency: Atrophy of the muscles. Upon birth, such a person can only lie on the bed, unable to move or cultivate..."
The book only introduced the illness, not the solution.
"Let me see if there is any solution to it. Flaws! "
Tapping on the wall, Zhang Xuan willed.
Weng!
A book appeared in Zhang Xuan's mind.
"Innate Muscular Deficiency: Atrophy of the muscles. Flaws: Damaged meridians..."
The book detailed the flaws of Innate Muscular Deficiency, including the damaged meridians, acupoints, and body parts.
"This..."
After taking a look, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but be taken aback. "This illness is actually the opposite of the Heaven's Path Golden Body?"
He had never heard of this illness before, but if he knew the flaws, he would realize that it was in the same direction as the Heaven's Path Golden Body.
In other words, using the Heaven's Path Golden Body cultivation method, he should be able to treat this illness easily.
"The Heaven's Path Golden Body can't be leaked. However, this might be the crux of the physician examination. If I fail it, I might never become a true physician..."
Zhang Xuan rubbed his glabella.
He didn't know that he had challenged the Wall of Dilemma. He thought that it was a normal procedure for the physician examination.
"Since it's these few flaws, as long as I nourish them with zhenqi, I should be able to treat them. even without the Heaven's Path Golden Body cultivation method!"
After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Xuan suddenly slapped his forehead.
All along, he had been thinking of treating himself as a cultivator. But in truth, he could rely on external help to treat his illness.
As long as he wrote down the few flaws and noted down Ming Zhen's zhenqi circulation method, as long as he didn't go into detail about the sequence of zhenqi circulation, it would be equivalent to keeping the Heaven's Path Golden Body cultivation method a secret.
After all, the most important factor in cultivation was the circulation method.
"Alright!"
After confirming the treatment method, Zhang Xuan picked up a brush and wrote it down on the wall.
...
"This one... I'm afraid that it's impossible for me to complete it!"
Standing in front of the Physician Hall, Physician Mu Hong clenched his fists tightly, and his body stiffened.
The other party had already surpassed him and replaced the position of the guild leader, so there was no point in feeling depressed. All he wanted to know now was whether this fellow surnamed Liu would be able to solve all twenty problems consecutively and clear the Wall of Dilemma with a perfect prescription.
If that was the case, the reputation of the entire Tianwu Kingdom Physician Guild would soar.
Just that... the difficulty of the final illness was such that even 4-star physicians would find it hard to solve it. Could this Liu laoshi really succeed?
Weng!
Just as he was feeling anxious, the wall before him shook once more.
"There's an answer..."
Seeing this, everyone held their breaths. Physician Mu Hong also tensed up.
Hu!
A ray of light shone out.
"This is... white light? What is white light? "
"Red light appears if the patient fails, orange light appears if the patient fails. Why would white light appear?"
Upon seeing the light, everyone was taken aback.
Even Physician Mu Hong widened his eyes in bewilderment.
The solution to the Wall of Dilemma was either correct or incorrect. In other words, it was either red or orange. White light... What the heck was going on?
"Could it be that... the wall of the Physician Hall is broken?"
"That can't be..."
Everyone blinked their eyes in shock.
"Look, something seems to be appearing..."
Just as everyone was dumbfounded, not knowing what was going on, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.
Looking in the direction of the shout, he saw four large words slowly appearing on the smooth wall in front of him.
We don't know!
(There will be a book review at 8 tonight. The details will be published in a separate chapter. Stay tuned!)
