Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

In the middle of the night, Liu Xing finally woke up slowly. He moved his body slightly, pulling the wound, and a sharp pain came, making him grit his teeth. He immediately looked inside his body and found that there were cracks in his lungs and liver, broken bones in his right shoulder and right arm, and several sword wounds on his body. Then he found that the bones had been set, the internal organs were put back in place, and the wounds had been treated professionally. Now the injuries have been controlled and are gradually improving. He sensed the outside world slightly and found that he had returned to Yanyu Pavilion and was living in an independent courtyard on the back mountain. There was an old man with a white beard sleeping in the next room. There were many rooms in the courtyard, with medicinal materials, treatment equipment, and many wards. He guessed that this must be a medical clinic, and the old man with a white beard was probably a doctor.

Only after ensuring the safety of the environment and his injuries were under control did he feel relieved. He recalled the duel with the Wu Gang leader in the water; it was truly thrilling, nearly killing both of them. He still felt a bit scared. When fighting, one really needs to be extremely cautious. Most importantly, his internal energy was insufficient, unable to increase his combat power. From now on, he should diligently practice the "Ice Water Art" and elevate his skills to a higher level. He expected that it would be effective. So, he struggled to move his body, sitting cross-legged on the bed, and began to meditate and practice.

After practicing for a full week, he discovered that his spiritual energy, as it passed through the wound, had a healing effect. He could sense a slight improvement, such as a decrease in pain, the growth of new flesh, and a slight itching and tingling sensation. He expected his recovery to be much faster than a normal person, and as his power increased, the healing effect would become even stronger.

The next morning, Liu Xing went out for a walk. At this moment, the old man with a white beard came in with a medicine box on his back. Seeing that Liu Xing was not lying down to rest, but walking around on the ground, he immediately scolded him angrily:

"Why don't you just lie down and recover instead of walking around trying to get reincarnated?"

Liu Xing was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to say hello.

"Thank you very much for saving my life, old man. What is your name?" Liu Xing thanked White Beard sincerely.

"They all call me Yao Lao, so you better lie down quickly." Yao Lao ordered bluntly.

Liu Xing didn't dare to talk nonsense and lay down on the bed obediently. Yao Lao came forward, took his pulse, and then used his internal energy to probe into his body to sense the recovery of his internal injuries. He also replaced the external injuries with new medicine.

"It's good to be young. The injury recovered so quickly!" Yao Lao muttered, still a little confused.

"Why hasn't the medicine maker come yet?" However, Yao Lao started cursing again. Liu Xing had no idea that the person Yao Lao was cursing was Dongfang Qing, the one who was decocting the medicine.

A quarter of an hour later, Dongfang Qing and Xiao Zi came. Yao Lao threw the medicine bag to them and left them alone. He lay on the armchair and rocked, reading a medical book with relish.

Liu Xing was shocked when he noticed Dongfang Qing clumsily preparing medicine for him outside. Did this little girl want to experience grassroots life?

After a while, Dongfang Qing came into the room with medicine. Seeing Liu Xing staring at her with his eyes wide open, she felt a little embarrassed. She lowered her head shyly and her face turned red. Liu Xing was a little puzzled. They met for the first time and they were naked, but she didn't even blush. Why should she be embarrassed? Xiao Zi immediately came over to help Liu Xing up. Dongfang Qing picked up the spoon and prepared to continue feeding him the medicine. Liu Xing reacted at this time. His left hand was not injured and could move completely. So he immediately took the medicine bowl with his left hand and drank it all. He didn't dare let the lady feed him medicine. He was still a guard and had to pay attention to his identity.

"Be careful, it's hot." Dongfang Qing was too late to stop him.

"Hehe" Xiao Zi chuckled beside him.

"When you were unconscious yesterday, it was the young lady who fed you medicine mouthful by mouthful. She also cried for you the whole afternoon, but you didn't even say thank you." Xiao Zi stood up for the young lady.

"Xiao Zi, please continue talking." Dongfang Qing said as she tried to stop her from talking nonsense. However, her heart was beating like a deer, and she couldn't calm down.

Liu Xing sensed Dongfang Qing's heartbeat quickening, and a shy expression returned. This was a typical sign of a young girl's first love. Wow, am I so charming that I've made her fall in love? But first, I'd like to express my gratitude.

"Thank you for your concern, Miss. Liu Xing has nothing to repay..."

"Who asks you to repay me? Just have a good rest." With that, Dongfang Qing ran away.

Liu Xing wasn't the naive boy he appeared to be. In his past life, he'd experienced a series of steps: secret crush, love, sex, and breakup. Dongfang Qing was prone to premature love, and the one she'd fallen for was her bodyguard. Oh, that was a bit of a headache. They were both only thirteen, their bodies barely formed yet. Regarding premature love, it's better to guide than to block it. He silently pondered how to guide the young lady and help her grow up normally and healthily.

He continued his meditation and cultivation, his body rapidly recovering. He discovered that Yao Lao, the withdrawn old man, had personality issues and couldn't communicate well. However, he had a deep interest in medicine and pharmacology, delving deeply into it and was considered a top expert in the medical field. However, his diagnostic methods were still based on observation, auscultation, and palpation, with the addition of internal energy. If he could see inside like him, wouldn't it be more conducive to prescribing the right medicine and providing precise treatment? He discovered the power of the "Ice Water Art" technique. If he became a doctor, he would be absolutely invincible.

He saw that Yao Lao had a vast collection of books, so he would browse through them during his free time during the day. Yao Lao didn't care, letting him read as he pleased. But later, Yao Lao discovered that Liu Xing's reading speed was astonishing, and he had finished all of his medical books in just ten days. He immediately understood that Liu Xing was still young at heart, just flipping through the books, not really engaging. But what happened next astounded him. A wounded patient was brought in, and Yao Lao was overwhelmed, so Liu Xing stepped in to help. He mastered every possible medical technique, cleaning wounds, bandaging to stop bleeding, setting bones, using acupuncture, and prescribing and dispensing medicine. He mastered every aspect, and although he was a little rusty, he never made a mistake. He didn't even need to ask questions or take the patient's pulse; he just started treating them, and his treatments were precise and flawless, as if he had clairvoyance. Gradually, Liu Xing earned the title of "Little Miracle Doctor."

Yao Lao was completely baffled. This man was undoubtedly a medical prodigy, a master of his own craft. Excited by this discovery, Yao Lao finally couldn't resist chatting with Liu Xing, asking him if he had studied medicine before, if he had ever treated a patient. He also tested his ability to identify and distinguish medicinal herbs, and his understanding of pharmacology and properties. Liu Xing readily offered his answers, drawing on all the medical texts he had read, including those Yao Lao had provided. His knowledge was even greater than Yao Lao's, and he found answers to many of Yao Lao's questions. Yao Lao was immediately overwhelmed with admiration and bowed deeply to Liu Xing, the proper etiquette of a disciple. Anyone who had seen this would have been astonished.
