Reversing the Milky Way

The people arguing were Mi Hua and Yue Xuan, and not far from where they were arguing, Shao Kaize was howling on the ground in pain.

Bai Cheng speculated that this might be due to his injuries. Seeing this, Bai Cheng felt a bit overwhelmed for some reason.

After arriving beside the two, he grabbed Mi Hua.

Bai Cheng: "What happened again?"

Mi Hua: "Hmm? You've come at the right time! Your so-called Oversight Bureau actually lost my storage pouch! Do you know I'm a member of the Spirit Beast Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yi spoke up in defense: "I've only been in this dungeon for a short time. What does it have to do with me that your storage bag is lost?"

Bai Cheng quickly stopped the two of them and then looked at Yuan Yi.

Bai Cheng: "Did the person in charge of guarding the storage bags ask them?"

Yuan Yi: "I asked, but the people guarding the storage bags were just transferred here. Previously, it was always people from the Si Nan family who were in charge here. After they left, they left behind a lot of messes."

Upon hearing this, Mi Hua's eyes turned fierce.

Mi Hua: "It's the Si Nan family again? You wouldn't be using this as an excuse to embezzle all our storage bags, would you?!"

Yuan Yi: "What are you saying! Our Supervisory Office has always been fair and incorruptible!"

Mi Hua: "Hmph! You know best whether you're honest or not. Even if the Si Nan family doesn't take the blame, you'll probably still try to pin it on the Wang family, the Li family, or something like that!"

Yuan Yi: "What did you say! I'm telling you, the Censorate is not a place for you to act recklessly! You've finally gotten out, you don't want to go back in, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng immediately separated the two people who were standing close together again.

Bai Cheng: "Alright! Alright! You two stop arguing! Mi Hua, this matter is indeed difficult to consider. I was also imprisoned in the dungeon before, but after I came out, my storage bag was returned to me safely. I believe this matter has little to do with the Censorate."

After some explanation, Mi Hua finally calmed down.

Mi Hua: "So, does that mean the Si Nan family is up to something big? They actually evacuated all their disciples overnight!?"

Bai Cheng: "These things are not our concern. Let's go back first. By the way, could you please give that person lying on the ground a ride?"

Mi Hua turned her head slightly, glanced at Shao Kaize whose complexion was not good, and sighed.

Immediately afterwards, he went to Shao Kaize and carried him on his back.

Seeing this, Bai Cheng also said goodbye to Yuan Yi, and then the two flew towards the shop.

Along the way, Bai Cheng looked at Mi Hua's face and talked a lot, especially about the Spirit Beast Sect and the Moonflower Kingdom.

Back at the shop, Bai Cheng opened the door and placed Shao Kaize on the bed inside.

Upon hearing the news, Lü Liang and his sister Lü Qiuyue rushed over and were concerned when they saw Shao Kaize on the verge of death.

Lü Liang: "What! What's wrong with him?"

Lü Liang asked a question, and suddenly, Mi Hua responded.

Mi Hua: "On the way back with him, I felt that some of the bones in his body had been broken. I did not see any of the Inspectorate personnel being beaten by him in the dungeon, so this must have been the case when he was brought here."

Lü Liang looked hesitantly at Mi Hua, whom Bai Cheng had brought back.

Lü Liang: "And who is this?"

Before Bai Cheng could respond, Mi Hua put a hand on Lü Liang's shoulder.

Mi Hua: "Hehe, I'm a new employee hired by your boss, so don't be shy."

Upon hearing this, Lü Qiuyue quietly observed Mi Hua. She could sense that Mi Hua's cultivation level was higher than Bu Qian's. What surprised her even more was that she didn't know how Bai Cheng had recruited Mi Hua into the shop. It should be noted that the Great Perfection of the Qi Condensation Realm was considered a pillar of cultivation in the secular world, and people of this level generally did not easily join any force, let alone become employees of such a small business.

However, it was only after Bai Cheng's introduction that she learned about Mi Hua's identity.

Mi Hua: "Hehe, young lady, don't be afraid. Now that I'm here, I will definitely not let what happened to this young man happen to you."

Mi Hua was nearly fifty years old, but he still looked like a middle-aged man.

After carefully examining Shao Kaize's physical condition, Bai Cheng gave Shao Kaize a few pills of the second-grade healing pill, the Life Healing Pill.

Upon seeing this, Mi Hua slowly spoke.

Mi Hua: "Although second-grade pills are effective, it is difficult to heal his injuries in a short period of time."

Bai Cheng: "Hmm? Do I need a third-grade healing pill?"

Mi Hua: "This is not a matter of the grade of the pill, but rather that the bones in his body are broken too badly. Although natural recovery is possible, it is not fast. If he wants a quick recovery, he needs to rely on external force, using spiritual power to guide the fractured bones back into place, and then take pills for treatment. Unfortunately, I am not proficient in this area, and I need to find a doctor to take a look."

Bai Cheng: "If it's just treatment with pills, how long will it take?"

Mi Hua: "It depends on each person's physical condition, but based on my observation, this person probably won't fully recover in less than two months."

Bai Cheng: "Two months...that's too long..."

After Bai Cheng finished speaking, he started thinking and suddenly remembered someone.

Bai Cheng: "How about this, I'll go find a doctor, and everything at the store will remain the same."

After arranging the remaining matters, Bai Cheng left the shop again.

Inside a clinic in Baijia territory, a woman was sitting at a table with her man.

Du Mingchun: "He is in good health, but he should be more moderate in his sexual activity."

Du Mingchun stroked his beard as he began to speak eloquently.

Woman: "I see. Thank you very much, Dr. Du."

The woman nodded shyly while patting her man's shoulder.

The man in front of him was also startled by the sudden reassurance. He had been feeling smug about marrying a wife, but he hadn't expected that this woman, who looked young, had already reached the late stage of body refinement, while he himself had only just entered the early stage of body refinement.

Du Mingchun: "I'll prescribe two doses of medicine to strengthen your body and kidneys. If you can, please don't neglect your body-refining practice. You don't want your wife to be on top every time, do you?"

Upon hearing this, the man gave an embarrassed smile.

Man: "Thank you, doctor! I will definitely be careful."

After the couple left, Du Mingchun was about to close the door when a hand grabbed his arm.

Du Mingchun: "I'm sorry, the clinic is closed. Please come back tomorrow."

As he spoke, Du Mingchun forcefully pried open the door, causing even the wooden frame to creak and crack.

Bai Cheng: "Dr. Du, how have you been?"

Upon seeing who was standing in front of him, Du Mingchun was taken aback.

Du Mingchun: "Huh?! It's you!?"

Du Mingchun led Bai Cheng into the clinic.

Du Mingchun: "I wonder what brings young friend Bai Cheng here so suddenly?"

Bai Cheng looked at the simple layout of the clinic and slowly began to speak.

Bai Cheng: "To be honest, I've come here today because I have a favor to ask of you."

As he spoke, Bai Cheng's gaze swept around the store before his eyes suddenly fell on a corner.

Du Mingchun: "Young friend, you're too kind. Given our relationship, why would I ask for your help?"

As they were talking, Du Mingchun saw Bai Cheng ignore him and go to a cutting board to pick up a small bottle. This small bottle was something he had asked for to understand when Shangguan Zhi had examined him before.

At the time, he was quite interested in the poison he had been given, so he kept the small bottle for research. However, more than two months had passed, and the poison in the bottle had long since evaporated.

Bai Cheng stared at the small bottle, stunned. He clearly remembered that the bottle had been left in the Shangguan family's territory, and he didn't know why it had appeared here.

Seeing Bai Cheng's intense focus on the bottle, Du Mingchun recounted his experience of treating Shangguan Zhi.

After hearing the story, Bai Cheng was also very surprised. He did not expect that Du Mingchun's medical skills were so high. He knew that the poison he had mixed at that time was more than dozens of kinds, and even the scaled silk that feeds on poisonous minerals could not withstand it.

Bai Cheng: "Then I wonder if Young Master Shangguan Zhi has fully recovered?"

Du Mingchun: "Well, in my experience, although the poison is strong, if treated according to my prescription, it should be curable. I wonder if Young Master Bai knows Shangguan Zhi? Why are you suddenly asking about his condition?"

Bai Cheng didn't answer, but kept a straight face.

Upon seeing this, Du Mingchun immediately remembered that Bai Cheng was now a member of the Bai family and had broken ties with the Shangguan family.

Du Mingchun: "It was my oversight that led me to speak out of turn. Tell me what you are asking for, and I will see if I can help."

So Bai Cheng then recounted Shao Kaize's situation.

After listening to the explanation, Du Mingchun stroked his beard leisurely.

Du Mingchun: "I see. It's nothing more than a broken bone. Leave this to me."

Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng became even more curious about Du Mingchun's identity as a doctor.

Based on his understanding of this world, he thought that those who refine elixirs to save lives would be called physicians, but he never expected that those who refine elixirs could only be called alchemists, while those who practice medicine would be called physicians.

Out of curiosity, he inquired about Du Mingchun's teacher.

After some investigation, he learned that Du Mingchun was a disciple of the Muling Taoist Temple, whose founder was named He Lingyun, and was known as Venerable He.

Since the Crane Venerable founded the Wood Spirit Taoist Temple, he has been opening the temple to treat ordinary people and even cultivators. As time went on, his reputation spread, which led some people to go to the temple to become his disciples.

He Lingyun welcomed all who came, whether they were ordinary people who could only refine their bodies or cultivators who could cultivate spiritual energy. As long as they had a heart to help the world, he would teach them medical skills.

The Muling Taoist Temple has been established for over a hundred years. In this century, tens of thousands of people have been healed by the temple. He Lingyun alone has healed over ten thousand people, including countless cultivators. What's even more remarkable is that he never asks which sect or school a cultivator belongs to when treating them; he only asks for help and basically accepts all comers.

Bai Cheng was utterly shocked after hearing this.

He wasn't shocked by He Lingyun's medical skills, but rather by the fact that in this chaotic world, someone could simply practice medicine without asking why.

After learning this information, Bai Cheng turned his attention to Shangguan Zhi.

Now that the Shangguan and Bai families have broken off relations, members of the Bai family can no longer enter the Shangguan family's territory, and the same applies to members of the Shangguan family.

Therefore, after much hesitation, Bai Cheng inquired about Shangguan Zhi's situation again.

Bai Cheng: "I wonder if Shangguan Zhi's condition has fully recovered, or if he needs to be examined again?"

Du Mingchun: "Hmm, what do you mean by asking this, young friend Bai Cheng? As a doctor, saving lives is my primary duty."

Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng looked at Du Mingchun with a troubled expression. Based on his understanding of Du Mingchun, he knew that as a doctor, Du Mingchun always prioritized saving lives.

However, he and the Shangguan family were now locked in a life-or-death struggle. Although he hadn't faced any immediate danger, Shangguan Zhi had already revealed his murderous intent towards him.

Although his previous actions in dealing with Shangguan Rongze had given the Shangguan family an excuse to clash with the Bai family, the current situation was that the two families were now irreconcilably hostile. In any case, since Shangguan Rongze was dead, Bai Cheng also wanted to eliminate Shangguan Zhi, who had always harbored murderous intent towards him. He would never let go of someone who had murderous intent towards him.

Now, Shangguan Zhi has almost recovered from the poison he suffered. Although the other party did not guess his identity back then, they will definitely cause him a lot of trouble now.

After some thought, Bai Cheng reached out and led the porcelain vase from the cabinet to himself, then placed it on the table. Du Mingchun was completely baffled by Bai Cheng's inexplicable action.

Du Mingchun: "Young friend Bai Cheng, what do you mean by this?"

Bai Cheng: "Dr. Du, you claim to save lives by practicing medicine, but do you really think you're saving people?"

Du Mingchun was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

In fact, he had already learned about the Fu family's actions when he treated Fu Qiran in Wuling Town, but he still could not stand idly by; this was his principle as a doctor.

Du Mingchun: "Young friend Bai Cheng, let me ask you a question. I once saved a cultivator who had slaughtered an entire family."

Bai Cheng frowned slightly after hearing this.

Bai Cheng: "So what?"

Du Mingchun: "But it was because I saved him that he slaughtered an entire family. Do you think I should have saved him?"

After hearing this, Bai Cheng also asked a question in return.

Bai Cheng: "Did you save him knowing he was going to slaughter the entire Fang family? If you knew that, then I don't think you should have saved him."

After hearing this, Du Mingchun chuckled twice.

Du Mingchun: "I did know at the time."

Bai Cheng was also very puzzled when he heard this.

Bai Cheng: "Why is that? You know, this kind of villain who slaughtered an entire family might turn around and harm you after you heal him. It's true that you have medical principles, but at the very least, you should ensure your own safety when you practice medicine, right?"

Du Mingchun: "Hehe, so that's what you think too. What if I said that I saved him, and he not only didn't harm me, but was also grateful to me, saying that I was the one who enabled him to get revenge?"

After hearing this, Bai Cheng understood why.

Then, Du Mingchun continued, "The reason I saved him was because his legs had been broken by that family, and he was left to die in a graveyard in the dead of winter. I couldn't bear to see him suffer, so I treated him. I asked him then how he would deal with the family that broke his legs and threw him out. I still remember that there was no hesitation in his resolute eyes at that time, and he only said two words: revenge. At that time, I had just started traveling around practicing medicine, and I had also tried to persuade him to let go of his hatred. But what he said next left me speechless."
