The Immortal Physician's Transmigration: Miraculous Rejuvenation

Chapter 5 Exploring the Mysterious Path of Immortal Destiny

After discovering the incomplete scroll that combined cultivation and medicine among the ancient books of the Ye family, Ye Yuanchen treasured it as if it were a precious gem and plunged into its study. He studied it day and night, and with his solid medical foundation and keen insight, he gradually began to unravel some clues from the obscure text and diagrams.

The tattered scroll records a unique method of cultivation, which involves absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and circulating it through the body's meridians. This energy is transformed into a special kind of energy that not only strengthens the body but can also be combined with medical techniques to create therapeutic effects beyond ordinary imagination. For example, using spiritual energy as a guide, the efficacy of herbs can be instantly increased several times over; acupuncture can more precisely stimulate acupoints, unblock meridians, and even allow one to perceive hidden ailments within a patient through spiritual perception.

A strong desire to explore ignited within Ye Yuanchen, and he decided to try cultivating this immortality method according to the fragmented scroll. He found a secluded spot in the back mountains of the Ye family and meditated there every morning, sensing the faint fluctuations of spiritual energy in the surrounding world and guiding it slowly into his body. At first, progress was extremely slow; the spiritual energy was like a mischievous sprite, elusive and difficult to control. But Ye Yuanchen persevered with unwavering determination.

Mu Wanyue often stayed by his side, protecting him and filled with curiosity and anticipation about the path of cultivation. Looking at Ye Yuanchen's focused expression, her heart was filled with love and admiration. During his cultivation, Ye Yuanchen occasionally encountered bottlenecks, his internal spiritual energy becoming disordered, and his meridians swelling and aching. Whenever this happened, Mu Wanyue would use her medical skills and gentle care to help him soothe his mind and body and adjust his condition.

As time went on, Ye Yuanchen gradually became skilled at absorbing spiritual energy, and a faint spiritual power began to condense within his body. He attempted to apply this spiritual power to medical practice. While treating an elderly man suffering from a serious illness, he first used his spiritual power to probe the lesion in the man's body and discovered a mass of accumulated toxins in his liver, which conventional medicine and acupuncture could not completely remove. Therefore, he injected his spiritual power into silver needles and then inserted them into the old man's acupoints, guiding the spiritual power to circulate through the meridians, enveloping the toxins and slowly dissolving them. After several such treatments, the old man's condition improved significantly, and his complexion gradually became rosy.

This miraculous healing effect caused a sensation in the local area, and people held Ye Yuanchen's medical skills in even greater awe, with rumors circulating that he had been blessed by immortals. However, Ye Yuanchen knew that he had only just stepped into the realm of integrating cultivation and medicine, and that he still had a long way to go.

During one of his cultivation sessions, Ye Yuanchen entered a wondrous state. His consciousness seemed to detach from his body and drift into a mysterious space. There, he saw an immortal dressed in white, with a serene face, profound eyes, and a powerful aura emanating from him.

"You are the one destined to obtain this incomplete scroll; it is fate's arrangement." The immortal spoke slowly, his voice like a resounding bell, echoing in Ye Yuanchen's consciousness.

Ye Yuanchen was both surprised and delighted, and quickly bowed, saying, "Junior Ye Yuanchen greets the Immortal. May I ask what teachings the Immortal has for me?"

The immortal nodded slightly and said, "This path of combining cultivation and medicine was created by ancient immortal physicians with the aim of saving all living beings. Now that you have embarked on this path, you must remember your original intention and not be misled by worldly fame and fortune. At the same time, you also need to seek out other immortal relics and obtain more cultivation methods and medical inheritances in order to truly comprehend its essence."

Ye Yuanchen respectfully said, "This junior will certainly remember the immortal's teachings, but I do not know where this immortal relic is located?"

The immortal raised his hand and waved it gently, revealing a blurry map before Ye Yuanchen's eyes. Several mysterious locations were marked on the map, one of which seemed to be in the distant Cloud Mist Mountains. "Beyond the Cloud Mist Mountains lies an ancient immortal abode, containing abundant treasures of cultivation and medicine. However, the journey is fraught with peril and numerous trials. Do you have the courage to go?"

Ye Yuanchen replied without hesitation, "In order to pursue a higher level of medical skills and save more patients, I will not be afraid of any dangers and will definitely go."

The immortal smiled with satisfaction and said, "Alright, then go ahead. On your journey, you will meet some like-minded friends who may lend you a helping hand."

After speaking, the immortal's figure gradually disappeared, and Ye Yuanchen awoke from that wondrous realm. He told Mu Wanyue what the immortal had said. Although Mu Wanyue was worried, she knew Ye Yuanchen's determination and decided to go to the Cloud Mist Mountains with him.

Before setting off, Ye Yuanchen made proper arrangements for the affairs of the Ye family, compiling his knowledge of cultivation and medicine into a book for the family's younger members to continue studying. Afterwards, he and Mu Wanyue embarked on their journey to the Cloud Mist Mountains.

They traveled westward, traversing dense forests, rushing rivers, and treacherous valleys. Along the way, they encountered a band of mountain bandits. Seeing Ye Yuanchen and Mu Wanyue's distinguished attire, the bandits mistook them for easy prey and aggressively surrounded them. Ye Yuanchen, not wanting to linger, used his spiritual power to gently flick his sleeve, a soft force sending the bandits sprawling to the ground. The bandits, terrified, looked at Ye Yuanchen, thinking they had encountered a deity, and knelt down, begging for mercy. Ye Yuanchen warned them to cease their evil deeds and then let them go.

After many days of trekking, they finally arrived at the foot of the Cloud Mist Mountains. The Cloud Mist Mountains soared into the clouds, their upper slopes shrouded in mist, mysterious and unpredictable. Ye Yuanchen and Mu Wanyue proceeded along the winding mountain path, proceeding cautiously, for wild beasts often roamed the mountains.

In a valley, they heard the sounds of fierce fighting. They crept closer and saw a group of mysterious figures dressed in black besieging a young cultivator. Although the cultivator was highly skilled, he was gradually becoming overwhelmed by the sheer number of enemies. Seeing this, Ye Yuanchen decided to intervene. He and Mu Wanyue joined the battle; Ye Yuanchen unleashed his spiritual energy attacks, while Mu Wanyue provided support with hidden weapons. With their combined efforts, the mysterious figures, realizing the situation was dire, fled in disarray.

The young cultivator said gratefully, "Thank you both for your help. My name is Lu Zixuan, a disciple of the Qingyun Sect. I came to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range to search for a lost treasure of my sect."

Ye Yuanchen said, "Brother Lu, you're too kind. We're also here to explore the relics of immortal destiny. Why don't we travel together and look out for each other?"

Lu Zixuan readily agreed, and the three of them continued their journey deeper into the Cloud Mist Mountains. As they ventured deeper into the mountains, the spiritual energy became increasingly dense, but danger followed in quick succession. They encountered a strange mist, a mist that concealed illusions, causing people to lose their way and experience various terrifying hallucinations. Ye Yuanchen, relying on his powerful spiritual senses, guided Mu Wanyue and Lu Zixuan slowly out of the mist.

Afterwards, they encountered a gigantic spirit rhinoceros beast. The spirit rhinoceros beast was enormous, with thick hide and powerful attacks. Ye Yuanchen knew that a direct confrontation would be unlikely to succeed, so he cleverly used his spiritual power to set up a simple array around them, trapping the spirit rhinoceros beast within. Then, he and Lu Zixuan attacked the spirit rhinoceros beast's weak points from different directions, while Mu Wanyue used smoke bombs made of herbs to distract the beast's vision. After a fierce battle, they finally succeeded in defeating the spirit rhinoceros beast.

Through constant exploration and battles, Ye Yuanchen's cultivation skills and medical expertise have greatly improved. His control over spiritual energy has become more precise, allowing him to perfectly combine it with various treatment methods. Mu Wanyue also learned many new things and skills during this process; her hidden weapon techniques became increasingly proficient, and her use of herbs became more ingenious. Lu Zixuan forged a deep friendship with them, sharing some of Qingyun Sect's cultivation insights with Ye Yuanchen, and Ye Yuanchen also shared his understanding of the integration of medicine and cultivation with Lu Zixuan. The three learned from each other and progressed together.

Finally, deep within the Cloud Mist Mountains, they found the ancient immortal abode. The abode's gates were tightly shut, covered in mysterious runes. Ye Yuanchen carefully studied the runes and discovered it was an ancient sealing formation, requiring a specific spiritual energy frequency to activate. He tried adjusting his spiritual energy to match the frequency of the runes, and after several attempts, the gates finally opened slowly.

A powerful spiritual energy rushed towards them, shimmering with various strange lights. Ye Yuanchen, Mu Wanyue, and Lu Zixuan stepped into the Immortal Abode with excitement and awe. They did not know what opportunities and challenges awaited them in this Immortal Abode, but they all firmly believed that this would be a qualitative leap for them on their paths of cultivation and medicine.
