Han Yunxi passed without a hitch!
Long Fei Ye and Gu Beiyue had been nervous for so long that they should be overjoyed. However, at that moment, both of them were paying attention to the Pill King.
Anyone who had ulterior motives towards Han Yunxi couldn't escape their eyes.
The King Of Medicine was too engrossed in his joy to realize that the two most powerful men in Cloud Realm Continent were silently holding a grudge against him.
Before the apprentice could speak, the King Of Medicine said impatiently, "Why aren't you opening the door and letting them in?"
The King Of Medicine had long investigated Han Yunxi and knew that she had formidable poison and medicine skills, but average medical skills. She could only treat minor illnesses and wounds.
The second trial of the Medicine Requesting Cave didn't just involve medicine, but medicine as well. No matter how formidable Han Yunxi was, she had no choice but to admit defeat this time!
As for Gu Beiyue, he was but a mere fifth rank Divine Doctor. The King Of Medicine didn't think much of him at all.
He stroked his beard nonstop as he suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. He never thought he'd have such a capable disciple. He even began to plan out what kind of work he'd arrange for Han Yunxi after she stayed at the Medicine Hut.
He felt that he should give her a show of strength, suppress her spirit, and then properly interrogate her about where she learned her medicine appraisal skills from. Of course, the most important thing was that he wanted to teach her everything he had learned in his life, so that she could guard the medicine hut for him for the rest of her life, concentrating on researching and developing medicinal pills.
The apprentice quickly opened the stone door behind her.
Han Yunxi was so focused on getting the Muscle Growing Ointment to treat Gu Beiyue's legs that she ignored the King Of Medicine and strode through the stone door. Long Fei Ye pushed Gu Beiyue to follow closely behind.
Beyond the stone door was a dim passageway. With their previous experience, they didn't have as many misgivings or defenses as they hurried forward. Who knew that when they reached the end, they would see a large stone door that was wide open.
What was going on?
"Could it be that I passed the first test too smoothly, so they're giving me a chance to pass?" Han Yunxi joked.
"There must be a trap!" Gu Beiyue was very cautious.
Long Fei Ye, on the other hand, stepped over the stone door in a handsome and domineering manner. Since he was already here, he had nothing to fear. He would charge through a mountain of swords and a sea of flames! If they dared to open the door, they naturally dared to enter!
Han Yunxi was also a decisive person. She pushed Gu Beiyue and followed in.
Just as she entered, the stone door suddenly closed on its own, blocking their escape route.
Gu Beiyue said, "Presumably, the second trial has just begun. Esteemed Wangfei …"
Before he could finish, Gu Beiyue suddenly coughed violently. He coughed so hard that he couldn't stop. Han Yunxi was shocked. "Did he choke?"
Gu Beiyue couldn't answer and hurriedly waved his hand.
Han Yunxi handed him water to drink and was about to pat his back when Long Fei Ye beat her to it. Who knew that before he could pat him twice, Han Yunxi also suddenly coughed. Although she didn't cough as violently as Gu Beiyue, she kept coughing like Gu Beiyue. It was as if she couldn't catch her breath and was in a bad state.
There were many people who died from coughing in this world.
Long Fei Ye was so anxious that he couldn't care less about Gu Beiyue. He hurriedly carried Han Yunxi to the side and carefully patted her back and soothed her chest. He even kept feeding her water. It could be said that he was in a hurry.
Unfortunately, before the water could even reach her throat, Han Yunxi coughed it out. And the action of patting was completely useless. In just a moment, Gu Beiyue and Han Yunxi became patients.
Even Long Fei Ye was coughing. Although it wasn't as serious as Han Yunxi and Gu, his throat kept itching. It made him very uncomfortable and he had to cough a few times from time to time.
What was going on? After Han Yunxi recovered, Long Fei Ye asked, "Poisoned?"
"I'm not sure. Cough cough … It doesn't seem like it. This must be the second trial. Too cunning! "
Han Yunxi coughed until her chest hurt before she could barely stop. She handed the water to Long Fei Ye and said seriously, "Doctor Gu's body is very weak. He can't take this kind of torture. We have to take good care of him. Otherwise, we'll have come for nothing."
If Gu Beiyue's life was gone from coughing, what was the point of getting the muscle growth ointment?
After Long Fei Ye confirmed that Han Yunxi was fine, he helped Gu Beiyue soothe his breathing and fed him water. Han Yunxi took his pulse seriously. His cough was the most serious, so the abnormality of his pulse should be the most obvious.
Gu Beiyue coughed until he was out of breath. He couldn't care about anything else. Every time he coughed, his chest would hurt and his head would throb. He couldn't stop coughing to drink water.
He had been very close to death countless times, but it had never been closer than this time. It had never been more uncomfortable than this time. It was so uncomfortable that he couldn't even think.
Even though he tried very hard to calm himself down and take his pulse seriously, he couldn't do it.
Since he couldn't drink water, Han Yunxi could only take out the spray bottle she used to deal with the poisonous mosquitoes. She filled it with clean water and sprayed it into Gu Beiyue's throat to make it feel better. However, this method was useless. Gu Beiyue still coughed without any signs of relief. Han Yunxi decisively took out her golden needles and performed acupuncture.
However, to her surprise, even acupuncture didn't have any effect. The coughing kept getting worse.
Although it wasn't accompanied by an asthma cough, Gu Beiyue would still be out of breath if this went on.
Han Yunxi, who was always calm before a life-threatening situation, was scared. She asked anxiously, "Long Fei Ye, what should we do?"
Long Fei Ye didn't understand this kind of thing.
However, he didn't panic. He decisively took Gu Beiyue's hand and transferred the vital energy in his body to him.
Vital energy was obtained from innate vital energy and acquired through cultivation. It was the foundation of maintaining life. Long Fei Ye's vital energy was sufficient. His body's foundation was good because of his innate good physique and acquired from diligent cultivation of internal energy.
Once Gu Beiyue received Long Fei Ye's vital energy, his weak body seemed to be filled with a new strength. He finally had the strength to suppress his coughing and adjust his breathing.
Seeing this, Han Yunxi was overjoyed and quickly fed him water. After drinking water to moisten his throat, Gu Beiyue felt much better.
"Are you feeling better?" Han Yunxi asked anxiously. Long Fei Ye looked at him. Cold, he didn't show any emotion.
Han Yunxi didn't know what vital energy meant to a martial arts practitioner, but Gu Beiyue was very clear about it! He looked at Han Yunxi and then looked at Long Fei Ye. His heart was like a spilled seasoning bottle, with mixed feelings.
"Doctor Gu, quickly take our pulse and see what illness we have." Han Yunxi said anxiously.
Who knew that Gu Beiyue's vision turned black and he suddenly fainted.
"Gu Beiyue!" Long Fei Ye was angry and continued to transfer vital energy to him. Unfortunately, Gu Beiyue didn't wake up. He said unhappily, "Trash!"
Han Yunxi quickly took Gu Beiyue's pulse, but unfortunately, she couldn't find anything. Other than Gu Beiyue's body being weak, there was nothing special about his pulse.
She then took her and Long Fei Ye's pulse, and it was normal.
"How did we get sick all of a sudden?" Long Fei Ye didn't understand. Although he was a layman, he knew that to cause abnormalities in the body, it was either an illness or a poison. Since Han Yunxi couldn't find out that it was a poison, then it was most likely an illness. Long Fei Ye had just finished speaking when he couldn't help but cough a few times.
"When we passed through the passageway of the second level, we must have inhaled something to keep coughing like this. There's something called a virus. Once you come into contact with it, you'll get sick. "Han Yunxi's explanation wasn't professional.
To be exact, there were countless viruses, but not everyone who came into contact with them would get sick. Whether one got sick or not depended not only on the infectivity of the virus itself, but also on the human body's own immunity.
This was a very profound subject to explain seriously. Han Yunxi could only tell Long Fei Ye this. Although Long Fei Ye didn't really understand what a virus was, he could basically understand what Han Yunxi meant.
He asked very seriously, "In that case, we were ambushed by a virus."
This analogy was too appropriate. Han Yunxi nodded seriously. "Yes, that's right!" She figured that only airborne viruses could sneak up on an expert like Long Feiye without anyone noticing.
Gu Beiyue's cough was the most severe. It was probably because his immunity was the weakest among the three of them.
As the two of them were talking, a clap suddenly sounded from the darkness. An old man slowly walked over. He was dressed in the same clothes as the little medicine boy from before. He was the guardian of Medicine Requesting Cave.
"As expected of the successor chosen by the King Of Medicine. Interesting." The old man looked at Han Yunxi with admiration.
In this kind of environment, when one encountered a sudden illness, most people would think that it was due to some kind of evil method, such as being cursed or possessed. This girl was so young, but she was able to calmly analyze the reason. She was really different from the rest.
"Stop pretending to be mysterious. What's the second trial?" Long Fei Ye asked coldly.
The old man wasn't anxious with them. He slowly walked in front of them and leisurely stroked his beard before answering, "Young man, you've actually passed the second trial. It's just that you won't be alive to reach the third trial."
The old man was really slow. Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye were almost anxious to death. He even looked at Long Fei Ye for a moment before continuing, "Young man, it's useless even if you inject true energy into him. His body is weak, so the illness acts up quickly. After an hour, no matter how strong or weak your body is, you'll all die of coughing. "
So that's how it is!
Han Yunxi was furious. She cursed, "Which black-hearted bastard set this rule? Isn't it just asking for medicine? How can it take someone's life? "
The person who set the rules was naturally the Medical Hut's ancestor. Although many people in the Medical Hut had strong opinions about the rules left behind by the ancestor, no one dared to say it out loud, let alone curse like this. The old man's mouth twitched. He explained, "Don't be anxious. There's still a way to pass this trial."
"What way?" Han Yunxi asked Coldly.
"Admit defeat. As long as you admit defeat, this Old Man will immediately present the medicine. I guarantee that the three of you will be cured," the old man said with a chuckle.
"Is it very funny?" Han Yunxi's face darkened. Long Fei Ye drew his sword and pointed it at the old man. "Give me the medicine. Otherwise, this prince will make you die here first!"
The old man trembled as he took a step back. "Young man, don't be rash. Even if you kill me, you won't be able to get the medicine. We … will all die. "
"This prince will kill you first. It won't be too late to find the medicine later!" Long Fei Ye really wanted to attack. Fortunately, Han Yunxi stopped him in time. She said in a low voice, "It's not worth it."
Since ancient times, there had been many people begging for medicine. If the Medicine Requesting Cave dared to set such a rule, it must be very confident.
If they killed now, even if they got the medicine and were cured, they probably wouldn't be able to leave. The way to pass this trial was not to admit defeat, but to treat their illness. For now, they could only pin their hopes on Gu Beiyue.
Han Yunxi persuaded him. Long Fei Ye naturally put down his sword. The old man heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly dodged. "Young man, you only have an hour. Think it over carefully!"
Hiding in the darkness, the old man, the King Of Medicine, was already bursting with joy. Han Yunxi's illness was called Half-day Cough. If it wasn't treated for half a day, it would be fatal. Even the dean of the Medical Academy couldn't do anything about it. He didn't believe that Han Yunxi and the rest could defy the heavens today!
