Wu You said that there was a disciple who wanted to see Gu Zheng. This made Gu Zheng's heart move. He sensed that the disciple beside him was actually Changfeng.
"Come in!" Gu Zheng opened his mouth and said.
Although Gu Zheng and Changfeng were old friends, and Changfeng was a disciple of Emei Sect, Gu Zheng didn't have many opportunities to meet him. First of all, Gu Zheng didn't spend much time in the sect. Second, Changfeng was just an ordinary disciple, not even a core disciple. Once Gu Zheng returned to the sect, he would only meet with the higher-ups of the sect.
Changfeng's cultivation was now at the late stage of the second layer. For a disciple who had just entered the sect, this was already a very fast speed of progress.
To be able to reach the late stage of the second layer in such a short time, besides Changfeng's own efforts, his relationship with Gu Zheng also played an important role. The higher-ups of the sect knew that Changfeng was Gu Zheng's friend in the secular world, so they took care of him.
"Greetings, Sect Leader!"
As soon as Changfeng entered the door, he respectfully saluted Gu Zheng.
In the past, Changfeng could treat Gu Zheng as a friend, but now he didn't dare. The more he came into contact with the cultivation world, the more he understood that in this world, what kind of people stood at the peak. And his former friend Gu Zheng was undoubtedly such a person.
"Elder Wu You, you can leave first!"
Looking at Changfeng's respect, Gu Zheng let Wu You leave first.
There was no one else in the room. Gu Zheng deliberately lazily nestled in the chair, wanting to give Changfeng a relaxed atmosphere. After all, as a cultivator, he had lost a lot of things, and he naturally didn't want the things he still cared about to change.
"Sit down, Changfeng. There are only the two of us here. You don't have to be too reserved." Gu Zheng smiled.
"Thank you, Sect Leader!"
Gu Zheng's attitude made Changfeng relax a little, but it was hard to change the habit. He still called Gu Zheng "Sect Leader".
"How have you been recently?"
With regards to Chang Feng's way of addressing him, Gu Zheng did not wish to correct him either. He immediately started chatting with him.
After chatting for a while, Changfeng became more relaxed. At this time, Gu Zheng also asked him why he came.
Changfeng came this time to beg Gu Zheng for help. Unfortunately, his aunt was infected with the 'Spotted Flower', and he wanted Gu Zheng to treat her..... The so-called 'spotted flower' was the plague that was currently spreading outside. It was also the disaster left behind by the Old Demon Voodoo.
. Changfeng had just learned that his aunt was infected with the 'Spotted Flower'. After all, the Emei Sect was sealed in the Mountain Guardian Immortal Array, and it was inconvenient to communicate with the outside world.
Changfeng didn't know that Gu Zheng had come out of seclusion today. He had originally gone to ask Wuchou for help. However, Wuchou couldn't do anything about the 'Spotted Flower', so he told him that Gu Zheng had come out of seclusion and asked him to go find Gu Zheng to help personally.
Gu Zheng naturally agreed to Changfeng's request. He had originally planned to go out of the mountain to stop this plague. And from the understanding he got from Wuyou, he also knew that this matter would not be too difficult for him to handle.
When the 'Spotted Flower' infected a person, the initial symptoms were very similar to a cold: fever, headache, and weakness in the limbs. Three to six days after infection, the symptoms would escalate to lethargy. Seven to nine days after infection, a red rash would appear on the face. Ten to thirteen days after infection, the rash would evolve into a flower-shaped ulceration. The patient's mental state would be unprecedentedly excited during these few days, like the final radiance of the setting sun. Sixteen days after infection, almost no one would be able to survive.
According to the difference in time, the outside world divided the 'Spotted Flower' infection into five corresponding stages. Changfeng's aunt was already in the fourth stage, and flower-shaped ulceration had already appeared on her face and body.
Saving people was like putting out a fire. Moreover, this was Changfeng's aunt. Gu Zheng immediately brought Changfeng out of the mountain.
After leaving the Mountain Guardian Immortal Array, Gu Zheng immediately pulled Changfeng and flew up.
Even though he was already in the world of cultivators, Changfeng was still so frightened that he screamed when he was being pulled up into the air.
However, after getting used to flying at high altitudes, Changfeng immediately felt incomparably refreshed. He kept asking Gu Zheng questions about flying. For example, would they hit a plane? Or would they be seen by others and investigated by the authorities?
In the face of Changfeng's silly questions, Gu Zheng's answer was often only one sentence, "That's not a problem."
During the flight, Changfeng called home and told his family that he had already invited Gu Zheng out of the mountain. Gu Zheng could also clearly hear the excited voices of Changfeng's brother, Chang Le, and his grandfather, Elder Liang, on the other end of the phone.
Although Elder Liang had a strong background, this background was only useful in the secular world. In the cultivation world, it was nothing at all, so he couldn't invite a cultivator to treat his daughter.
After being infected with 'Spotted Flower', Changfeng's aunt, Liang Jing, was naturally quarantined by the authorities. The place Gu Zheng was going to was the quarantine hospital that the authorities had set up for 'Spotted Flower' patients.
Elder Liang and Chang Le were already waiting at the entrance of the hospital. When they saw Gu Zheng, they were so excited that they couldn't speak for a moment.
"Sect Master Gu, you must save Liang Jing!"
Elder Liang, who was already in his twilight years, couldn't bear the pain of a white-haired person sending off a black-haired person. When he made his request to Gu Zheng, his eyes were slightly red.
"Don't worry, I will definitely save Liang Jing's life." Gu Zheng said seriously.
They didn't stay at the entrance of the hospital for long. After the group entered the quarantine hospital, they first went to the disinfection room to disinfect and then changed into a set of protective clothing.
Of course, Gu Zheng wouldn't be disinfected, nor would he wear a cumbersome protective clothing. The Spotted Flower virus was no threat to him. Moreover, the Spotted Flower virus didn't spread through the air. It mainly spread through water, cross-infection, and other methods.
The hospital was bustling with activity. On the way to the ward, Gu Zheng saw many Spotted Flower patients. According to Elder Liang, the number of patients in the hospital was increasing every day. The entire seventh floor of the hospital was almost full of Spotted Flower patients.
Due to Elder Liang's relationship, Liang Jing had a private ward in this hospital. When Gu Zheng and the others entered the ward, Liang Jing was wiping away her tears.
Liang Jing was Elder Liang's youngest daughter. She was only in her thirties. If not for the Spotted Flower virus disfiguring her face, she would be very beautiful.
"Father, where's Sect Master Gu?"
Liang Jing immediately became very excited when she saw someone enter. However, the number of people wearing protective clothing wasn't right. This made Liang Jing anxious again.
Without wearing protective clothing, Gu Zheng didn't want to be seen and cause trouble. Along the way, he released his Divine Telekinesis to influence the people around him. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, he didn't exist at all.
The door was already closed. Gu Zheng's sudden appearance gave Liang Jing a fright.
Before this, Changfeng had already explained the situation without hiding anything. Elder Liang himself knew some things. When he found out that Gu Zheng was a powerful expert, he was shocked. After all, Gu Zheng's previous performance had already surprised him.
"Although I was prepared, Sect Master Gu's appearance still gave me a fright!"
Seeing a god-like figure, Liang Jing seemed to have forgotten her illness. Her eyes were filled with curiosity as she looked at Gu Zheng.
"Xiao Jing, why are you so unruly?"
Elder Liang scolded. Only then did Liang Jing wake up. Therefore, she quickly apologized to Gu Zheng and said a lot of good things, begging Gu Zheng to save her life.
"Aunty, Sect Master Gu has already agreed to save you. Don't speak anymore. Let Sect Master Gu take a good look at you!"
Chang Le knew that Gu Zheng didn't like this situation, so he couldn't help but speak up.
"Oh, oh!"
Liang Jing quickly agreed. Then, she pursed her lips tightly and really didn't speak anymore.
"I want to check your body. Don't panic. Just don't do anything," Gu Zheng said.
Liang Jing nodded and closed her eyes.
Gu Zheng separated a strand of divine sense into Liang Jing's body and began to check her situation.
The disease of the spotted flower originated from Gu worms. However, there were no Gu worms in the patient's body. There was only a mutated virus. And this virus that was invisible to the naked eye existed in almost every tissue in the patient's body.
It wasn't that cultivators couldn't treat the spotted flower virus. It was just that using divine sense to treat it was really too time-consuming and laborious.
If there wasn't any special relationship, which immortal cultivator would be willing to spend a few days to eliminate the virus in an ordinary person's body bit by bit?
Moreover, there were viruses in almost every tissue in the patient's body. Even if they used divine sense as a means of micro-manipulation, it would still inevitably cause damage to the patient's body! If they didn't use immortal power or medicinal pills to repair the patient's body at the same time as the treatment, then a fourth stage patient like Liang Jing would definitely not be able to withstand the entire process of micro-manipulation.
"Sect Master Gu, how is it?"
Seeing that Gu Zheng, who had originally closed his eyes, opened his eyes but frowned and didn't speak, Chang Le couldn't help but ask.
Gu Zheng actually already had a rough understanding of the situation in the patient's body through Wu You.
The situation in Liang Jing's body wasn't much different from what Gu Zheng had previously understood. The reason why Gu Zheng was frowning was because he was thinking about how to treat Liang Jing.
As an immortal chef, Gu Zheng naturally wouldn't be like ordinary immortal cultivators who used divine sense to perform micro-manipulation. In his heart, the most ideal treatment method was still through food therapy.
After examining Liang Jing's body, countless ingredients rolled around in Gu Zheng's mind. What kind of characteristics did they have, what kind of combination could be used to deal with Liang Jing's current situation?
"I thought of a few methods, but I can't confirm which one is better for the time being. I need to try it out," Gu Zheng said.
"That's great!"
Elder Liang and Chang Le spoke at the same time.
"Wu wu …"
Liang Jing, who was sitting on the hospital bed, cried tears of joy.
"Thank you, thank you, Sect Master Gu!"
Elder Liang's lips trembled as he thanked Gu Zheng.
"Sect Master Gu, do you need us to provide anything?" Chang Le asked.
"I need you to provide me with a place to cook food therapy," Gu Zheng said with a smile.
Chang Le was stunned for a moment, then he returned a grateful gaze to Gu Zheng. "Thank you, Sect Master Gu!"
Originally, Chang Le thought that cooking food therapy might require some ingredients. As long as these ingredients could be bought with money, they would definitely think of a way to buy them! But now that Gu Zheng said this, there was no doubt that he would bear the responsibility of the ingredients.
Chang Le booked a hotel for Gu Zheng nearby, and Gu Zheng quickly appeared in the hotel room.
"How is the spotted flower this time compared to the 'Blood Worm Gu' that cured Kong Qing?"
The artifact spirit, who had been silent all this time, spoke.
"The cost of treating the 'Blood Worm Gu' is relatively high, but there are relatively few variables. The few recipes I thought of to treat the spotted flower are relatively low in cost, but no matter which recipe it is, I don't dare to be 100% sure that it will be able to cure the spotted flower! "Gu Zheng said.
"What do you mean?" The artifact spirit asked.
"When I was investigating Liang Jing's body, I used my spiritual sense to touch the spotted flower virus and found that it has a very good resistance. The food therapy I am preparing to give Liang Jing is for seven days, and I am still not sure whether the spotted flower virus will adapt to the effects of the food therapy or be completely killed by the effects of the medicine."
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he sighed, "Liang Jing is an ordinary person, and those who are infected by the spotted flower are almost all ordinary people. It is precisely because they are ordinary people that it is more troublesome to treat them! Not to mention immortal cultivators, even a third level cultivator would be able to treat the spotted flower very easily. "
"I thought that with your cultivation, it would be very easy to solve this plague, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome." The artifact spirit said.
"I did think that this disaster wouldn't be easy to solve, and I just wanted to do something for my hometown."
Gu Zheng looked at the artifact spirit and smiled bitterly, "But you made it my mission to quell this plague. Although this is similar to my original idea, it immediately sealed my escape route!"
It was undeniable that Gu Zheng now felt that doing what he wanted to do and completing the mission while doing it was a little too ideal.
"I also did it for you, but who knew that this matter would be so troublesome?"
The artifact spirit rolled its eyes at Gu Zheng, and then said, "But no matter how troublesome it is, you have to bite the bullet and continue, or else you won't be able to take on active missions in the future."
Gu Zheng nodded and said, "I know that, but I forgot to ask you about some details of this mission."
"What details do you want to ask?" The artifact spirit asked.
"You want me to quell this plague, but there must be a range and time, right? What are they? "Gu Zheng asked.
"The range is limited to your country, as for the time, there is no limit."
After listening to the artifact spirit's explanation, Gu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. As long as it was not on a global scale, no matter how troublesome it was, he believed that there would always be a solution.
After ending the conversation with the artifact spirit, Gu Zheng did not immediately cook the food therapy. He carefully deduced a few food therapy recipes in his heart and finally decided to use one of them to treat Liang Jing's illness.
The food therapy for Liang Jing was not too complicated, and the highest grade of ingredients used was only ordinary.
After making the food therapy, Gu Zheng personally delivered it to Liang Jing. He wanted to see Liang Jing's reaction after eating it.
"I've long heard from Chang Le and the others that the food cooked by Sect Master Gu is the best in the world. After seeing it today, it really made me drool before I even started eating."
As Elder Liang's daughter, Liang Jing grew up soaking in delicacies, but when she held the food therapy given by Gu Zheng, she could not help but sigh.
"Aunty, hurry up and eat!"
Chang Le looked at Liang Jing helplessly. He was also puzzled in his heart. Why did she seem to have no respect when facing Gu Zheng?
In fact, Liang Jing could not be blamed. After all, she knew very little about Gu Zheng. She only knew that Gu Zheng was an immortal, unlike Chang Le, who had heard a lot of legends about Gu Zheng from Changfeng.
Liang Jing was naturally full of praise for Gu Zheng's food therapy after eating it, but Gu Zheng did not care about this. What he cared about was the effect of Liang Jing's food therapy. Therefore, during the process of Liang Jing taking the food therapy, Gu Zheng's spiritual sense had been in her body, paying attention to the changes in the virus brought by the medicinal effect.
The food therapy this time was very successful. The virus died under the effect of the medicinal effect, and Liang Jing herself felt more energetic.
The food therapy could only be eaten once a day. When Liang Jing ate the second food therapy, the effect became even more obvious! Ordinary people could not see the virus in her body, so naturally, they did not know how much had died. However, some of her external changes were obvious to Elder Liang and the others.
Before taking the first food therapy, Liang Jing had a total of two spots on her face, and they had already grown to the point of ulceration. This kind of ulceration caused by the virus could not be healed at all. Every day, it was wet and oozed out a smelly liquid.
However, after the second food therapy, the ulceration on Liang Jing's face became dry, and there was a more obvious change in scabbing.
After the third food therapy, Liang Jing's external changes were even more obvious. The spots on her face were all scabbed, and her entire person's spirit had risen to another level.
"Elder Liang, what's going on?"
Since it was an isolated hospital, there were naturally doctors. When Liang Jing's changes were very obvious, Professor Yang, who was in charge of researching the spotted flower vaccine, was finally alarmed.
Professor Yang was a man in his fifties. In terms of age, Elder Liang could be considered his father. However, Professor Yang's official position was relatively high, so he did not have much respect for Elder Liang, who had retired to the second line.
"What do you mean by what's going on?" Elder Liang asked.
"Don't play dumb. I'm talking about Liang Jing's situation!" Professor Yang said unhappily.
"What else could it be? Isn't it all because of the medicine you're researching?"
Elder Liang didn't want to expose Gu Zheng, so he casually came up with an excuse. However, in Professor Yang's ears, this excuse was indescribably jarring to his ears.
"Elder Liang, are you mocking us for being incapable and unable to research a vaccine?" Professor Yang seemed a little angry.
"How is that possible? If you're incapable, how could Liang Jing's condition have improved? "Elder Liang said.
"Don't play dumb with me. Did you ask Liang Jing to use some illegal medicine? Also, why is there a very fragrant smell coming from Liang Jing's ward every lunchtime for the past two days? Also, who are the people you brought in against the rules? "Professor Yang asked.
"There's no such thing as an illegal medicine! There's a fragrant smell in Liang Jing's ward? Why didn't I smell it? As for the people I brought in against the rules, they're my family, "Elder Liang said angrily.
Elder Liang's temper was not good to begin with. He had been joking around with Professor Yang because he did not want to cause any trouble. Now that he was being so aggressive, his true nature was revealed.
"You're still in the right?"
Professor Yang was stunned, then said angrily, "Leave the quarantine hospital right now. This is not a place you should be! As for Liang Jing, she has someone to take care of her. You don't have to worry about her! "
Elder Liang, who was born in the military, did not care about many things when he was angry. He pointed at Professor Yang's nose and scolded, "Kid, how many years have you been eating rice? Why are you so rude? Do you really think you're so capable? If you're so capable, you should develop a vaccine for the spotted flower earlier. Don't talk nonsense with me! "
"You … You're an unreasonable old man. You broke the rules and stayed in the quarantine hospital. You … You're still in the right? I must report this to the higher-ups! "Professor Yang was shaking with anger.
"Go! Go if you dare. I'm not afraid of you! "Elder Liang said without backing down.
