There was only half an hour left. Either they were cured and the third challenge would begin, or they would die here.
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi had never considered admitting defeat. They had placed all their hopes on Gu Beiyue.
The only thing they could do right now was to quickly wake Gu Beiyue up and ask him if there was any way to cure the "Half-day Cough".
Long Fei Ye seriously felt Gu Beiyue's pulse. Han Yunxi was puzzled, "You also know how to take pulses?"
"I know a little. The true energy that I lost to him is running amok in his body. He probably couldn't bear it, which is why he fainted." Long Fei Ye lightly said.
Han Yunxi didn't understand anything related to martial arts.
She also felt Gu Beiyue's pulse. She found that other than showing that his body was weak, there was nothing wrong with his pulse.
"Then what should we do now?" She asked in a low voice.
"Treat a dead horse as a living horse." Long Fei Ye's eyes flashed with a trace of ruthlessness. Before Han Yunxi could understand what he meant, he had already grabbed Gu Beiyue's hand and poured true energy into Gu Beiyue's body.
He already couldn't bear it, yet he still gave him true energy. Han Yunxi couldn't imagine the consequences. She wanted to stop him, but she was intimidated by Long Fei Ye's serious and cold expression. She didn't dare to step forward.
The little thing stood on Han Yunxi's shoulder. It was even more afraid of Long Fei Ye than Han Yunxi. It was so anxious that it wanted to bite someone, but it didn't dare to act blindly without thinking.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Han Yunxi's worried expression. Long Fei Ye felt somewhat helpless. This silly woman definitely didn't know how much damage he had done to his body by expending his True Qi today.
His True Qi was vigorous and domineering. As soon as it entered Gu Beiyue's body, it went straight to his Dantian. If Gu Beiyue's Dantian was not injured, this power would be like a good medicine for him. Unfortunately, Gu Beiyue's Dantian was seriously injured and he could not gather Qi. Therefore, when this power reached his Dantian, it scattered in all directions and scattered in his body, affecting the normal Qi in Gu Beiyue's body.
Long Fei Ye continued to inject True Qi into Gu Beiyue. In fact, this was the most overbearing and barbaric method, forcefully smoothing out the chaotic Qi in Gu Beiyue's body. If he succeeded, Gu Beiyue would definitely wake up and feel refreshed. If he failed, he would suffer from Qigong Deviation and die from bleeding from his seven orifices.
Long Fei Ye was so ruthless!
Seeing Long Fei Ye saving Gu Beiyue like this, the King Of Medicine, who was hiding in the dark, sneered again and again. "What's the use of working so hard even if he wakes up?"
The old man was frightened by Long Fei Ye's sword. At this time, he was standing beside the King Of Medicine. He yawned slowly. "Let the young man do what he wants. In the end, he will have to admit defeat."
The King Of Medicine was not as patient as him. He looked at Han Yunxi and the others while silently calculating the time.
At this time, Gu Beiyue suddenly coughed softly.
Han Yunxi and the little thing were very nervous. They stared at him without blinking. Long Fei Ye did not stop. Instead, he increased the power. He no longer injected True Qi, but poured it fiercely.
"Ah!"
Gu Beiyue groaned and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. If a martial arts practitioner saw this, they would immediately know the secret of Gu Beiyue's dantian. They would also know that Gu Beiyue's internal True Qi was in chaos and that he could go mad at any time. Unfortunately, besides Long Fei Ye, no one else present could tell.
"Long Fei Ye, what's going on?" Han Yunxi asked anxiously.
Before Long Fei Ye could answer, Gu Beiyue spoke up. "This one is fine. I will have to trouble Your Highness Duke of Qin to continue!"
He didn't even have the strength to open his eyes, but he spoke these words clearly and without hesitation. His pale face and tightly shut eyes were filled with stubbornness. He was as stubborn as a strong and foolish child. He clearly knew that his situation was very dangerous. He clearly knew that if he continued, he wouldn't go mad. Instead, he would bleed from his seven orifices and die. Because, based on the current situation, the chances of success were too small.
But he still persisted.
This was a moment of life and death. Only the two men knew.
A trace of admiration flitted across Long Fei Ye's eyes, but he continued without hesitation. Powerful True Qi flowed from Gu Beiyue's hand into Gu Beiyue's body. Blood continuously flowed from the corner of Gu Beiyue's mouth. The True Qi in his body violently slammed against his internal organs. It was extremely chaotic. He felt like he would explode at any moment.
"Stop!" Han Yunxi grabbed Long Fei Ye's hand. Although she didn't understand, she could tell that Gu Beiyue was in great danger.
Gu Beiyue didn't know where he got the strength, but he suddenly grabbed Han Yunxi's hand. Because he used too much force, he fell out of his wheelchair. Even so, Long Fei Ye still held onto Gu Beiyue's hand tightly without stopping.
Mama Yunxi had already made her move, so Lil Thing immediately pounced over and landed on the back of Long Fei Ye's hand. It was about to bite down when Long Fei Ye's other hand brushed it aside impatiently and sent Lil Thing flying.
"Long Fei Ye, stop! He'll die!" Han Yunxi pressed down on Long Fei Ye's hand.
"If he can't live, neither can we," Long Fei Ye said.
Han Yunxi understood that Long Fei Ye wasn't staking everything on a single throw, but that he had no other choice. She understood, but she couldn't let go. She couldn't harden her heart.
He didn't rush her, but only looked at her coldly. His heart was always calmer and more ruthless than hers.
Just as the two of them were in a deadlock, a powerful wave of true qi shot out from Gu Beiyue's hand and blasted Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi aside!
The two of them backed up a few steps, while Gu Beiyue lay sprawled on the ground like a dead man, unmoving.
"Cheep!"
Lil Thing's shrill screeches shook the heavens as it pounced on Gu Beiyue like a madman, trying to feel out his breath. There was no telling what the results were, but Lil Thing remained sprawled on the ground, its body trembling.
Han Yunxi was so scared that her face turned white. She clutched Long Fei Ye's hand tightly, not daring to walk over.
She was afraid!
She was afraid that this trip would be for naught, that they'd part forever, that this world would never again have the gentle spring breeze of April.
Doctor Gu, don't scare Yunxi, alright?
Long Fei Ye didn't expect this result. The true qi he'd lost to Gu Beiyue had actually been reflected back. Wasn't this fellow's dantian seriously injured? Where did he get the strength?
What was the state of his body now? Was he alive, or dead? It had to be said that Long Fei Ye wasn't sure either.
But right at this moment, the old man hiding on the side reminded them, "You don't have much time left. If you don't admit defeat now, even the gods won't be able to save you once Half Day Cough acts up."
Han Yunxi glared at the darkness, her gaze sharp enough to kill.
The old man immediately shut up, but the King Of Medicine walked out with a laugh. "So what if you can save Gu Beiyue? This Old Man isn't afraid to tell you that even Academy Head Gu couldn't treat this illness, much less a mere fifth rank Divine Doctor like him. "
Hearing this, Han Yunxi came to a sudden realization. Her curses just then weren't wrong. The Medicine Requesting Cave's rules were designed to trick people. No one would be able to pass such a difficult illness.
They'd come for nothing. If Gu Beiyue really died here, then it'd be the biggest mistake they'd ever made!
"Liar! Despicable! "
Her hatred flared as she raised her hand to activate the Pear Blossom Teardrop Rain. Just as she was about to shoot the poison needles, an extremely weak voice spoke up from behind her. "Esteemed wangfei … cough, cough … calm your anger. This one, this one can cure this illness. "
This voice was so weak, but it gave people hope and strength!
Han Yunxi whipped her head back and saw that Gu Beiyue had already woken up. Lil Thing was standing on his shoulder, wiping away its tears.
He didn't smile like he usually did. Instead, he had a determined look on his face. His gentle hands supported himself on the ground, supporting his weak body, as well as all of their hopes.
Han Yunxi had never seen the gentle Doctor Gu in such a sorry state. She had also never seen the weak Doctor Gu so tenacious and strong. Although he was lying on the ground, he looked like an indomitable man, challenging the King Of Medicine's authority and even the medical academy's authority.
He said that he could cure an illness that even Academy Head Gu couldn't treat!
Han Yunxi strode over, but Long Fei Ye was one step ahead of her and helped Gu Beiyue up. Gu Beiyue's leg was crippled and he couldn't stand properly. Long Fei Ye supported him.
He said in a low voice, "Looks like this prince's true energy wasn't wasted."
"This one's life was given to this one by Your Highness. This one will remember." Gu Beiyue also said in a low voice.
Seeing that Gu Beiyue's mind was clear, Han Yunxi and Lil Thing were so happy that they were foolishly happy. The master and servant looked at Long Fei Ye and Gu Beiyue and laughed foolishly.
"A mere fifth-rank divine doctor dares to speak so arrogantly. If you can cure this illness, why is it so serious? Hmph! "The King Of Medicine sneered sarcastically.
Gu Beiyue wasn't in a hurry to go back on his words. He sat back in his wheelchair before replying, "Senior King Of Medicine, have you heard of the saying that Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs and invented medicine and agriculture?"
"What do you mean?" The King Of Medicine didn't understand.
Gu Beiyue smiled faintly. "If you don't know the illness, how can you recognize it? If you don't know the illness, how can you treat it?"
Perhaps he'd profited from his misfortune. If his body hadn't been so weak that his illness flared up prematurely, he wouldn't have been able to figure out what this "whooping cough" was.
Now that he'd overcome a serious illness, he had a clear idea of what was going on.
"Gu Beiyue, you really know how to treat whooping cough?" Han Yunxi was pleasantly surprised. She knew that Gu Beiyue's medical skills were beyond the fifth-rank, but he didn't like scholarly titles. That was why he hadn't gone to the medical academy to advance. But she didn't know that Gu Beiyue's medical skills were so strong.
Could it be that he could really surpass Academy Head Gu of the medical academy? According to Han Yunxi's understanding, Academy Head Gu had the highest rank in the history of Cloud Realm Medical Academy, an eighth-rank Celestial Doctor!
The King Of Medicine was secretly amazed that Gu Beiyue could comprehend such principles at such a young age. Still, he didn't believe that Gu Beiyue had the skills to treat the illness himself.
Even if he did have the skills, he didn't have the time to do so. There was still the time it took to brew a cup of tea before Halfday Cough would break out again.
But Gu Beiyue gave Han Yunxi a very certain answer. "Esteemed wangfei, this one can treat it. Before the illness flares up, you only need to decoct some medicine to cure the illness. "
Han Yunxi found it hard to believe, but she firmly believed in Gu Beiyue. "What kind of medicine is it?"
"Longchun, Pinellia, Autumn Stone, and Winter Grass, one tael of each will do," Gu Beiyue said seriously.
Hearing this, a complicated look flitted past the King Of Medicine's eyes. After all, the prescription left behind by his ancestors really did contain these ingredients. The King Of Medicine listened without batting an eyelid, but Gu Beiyue didn't say anything else.
"That's it? Is there anything else? "Han Yunxi asked.
