I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

"So, General, you have other plans?"

"No. Let's just treat this as a casual stroll. Let's go to the Pill Refining Department together. I wonder if the Medicine-Carrying Dragon Girl is there..."

Pretending not to hear Fei Xiao's complicated murmur at the end, Hua Yi turned around and gave Ji Zi, Xing, and Xiao Sanyue a look, letting them go shopping as they pleased. Hua Yi then led the two patients straight to Dan Ding Si.

Luofu has a large population, and each of its grottoes has a clinic run by alchemists.

In ancient times, the ancestors of the Immortal Boat were not immortal beings. In order to escape the three sufferings of old age, sickness and death, they set sail in search of medicine.

Mortals suffer greatly, and the Dan Ding Division at that time received a large amount of resources from the Immortal Ship.

Later, the Immortal Ship people became a long-lived species, and the Pill Cauldron Bureau used the miracles left by the Abundant Star God to expound on the [Immortal Path], which flourished to the extreme. It is no exaggeration to say that all spirits worshipped them. They were explorers of the Immortal Path, interpreters of the Immortal Path, and masters of the Immortal Path!

With a revered status, he can be considered the representative of the [Abundant] Pharmacist in the mortal world.

These are all things of the past.

The bountiful immortal site has turned into a plague of misfortune, and the so-called immortal path has naturally become a source of chaos. The Pill Refining Bureau has long been on the path of decline, unable to overcome the symptoms of those lacking in heavenly essence, nor to cure the demonic Yin body, and all medical research involving longevity has been halted.

This department was completely restricted.

Ordinary people generally believe that minor illnesses don't need attention and serious illnesses don't need treatment if they don't have the money. However, the people of the Immortal Ship are long-lived and can truly withstand all kinds of diseases, or even avoid getting them altogether.

The Dan Ding Division seemed to have been forgotten by the Alliance's higher-ups, and the position of Si Ding, representing the head of the division, had been vacant for many years.

Hua Yi, Fei Xiao, and Jing Liu traversed the streets, which had not yet recovered from the turmoil and were noticeably less crowded than usual, and entered Dan Ding Si. The surroundings became even quieter.

In terms of work environment alone, Dan Ding Si is probably more suitable for slacking off. More restrictions mean less to do. Qing Que should have applied here back then.

"Greetings, General Tianji."

A female physician noticed that Emperor Gongtian was about to arrive and hurriedly went to greet him.

Hua Yi stepped back and shielded Fei Xiao in front of him, adopting a posture that said, "I'm not familiar with the Dan Ding Division, so you can be my guide."

The general did not refuse.

"Is the Dragon Girl carrying medicine here today? My friend wants to see her for treatment."

Following Feixiao's movements, the female doctor saw Jingliu wearing an eye patch.

I understand, blind man.

"Lady Bailu is currently in the forbidden residence of Lin Yuan Realm and will not be coming to the Pill Cauldron Department for the next few days."

"...That's true. Luofu was reborn from Jianmu and was attacked by the Jinmie Legion and the Buli Fleet. As the Dragon Lord, the Dragon Masters will not let Bailu escape again."

Fei Xiao sighed, and the female physician, fearing she might displease the general, quickly added.

"If we want to treat this blind lady, perhaps the Chief Alchemist of the Department can. She is usually in charge of drug research and refining, but she suffers from a congenital deficiency and may be able to prescribe the right medicine."

Alchemists, physicians, and medical assistants—the staff of the Alchemy Department originally had their own duties, but since Feixiao was bringing people to treat patients, the more skilled the better.

With the Dragon Maiden absent, considering both medical skills and status, the highest-ranking among the remaining people is Chief Alchemist.

Jingliu didn't argue and followed the female doctor who was leading the way. He, Huayi, and Feixiao made several turns and arrived at a secluded pharmacy.

The air was thick with the aroma of herbs. Wooden cabinets and medicine cauldrons were neatly arranged. Deep inside sat a woman, Dan Shu, who had met Hua Yi once before, after he helped the blind little girl.

It turns out she was the head alchemist of the Alchemy Bureau, a position of considerable importance.

Of course, this status is nothing compared to Hua Yi's current influence in Luofu.

The female physician approached Lord Dan Shu, explained the situation in a low voice, and then took her leave, thoughtfully closing the door of the pharmacy before departing.

Several important figures gathered in the small, enclosed space.

But Dan Shu only knew that General Tianji had brought an unnamed passenger on the train, accompanied by a blind patient. Hua Yi did not speak, so Dan Shu could not recognize him by his voice.

"Please raise your hand so I can take your pulse."

Chapter 354 The Secret Teachings of the Medicine King

Even though Dan Shu serves as the head of the alchemy department and is in charge of refining medicines on a daily basis, without seeing patients, he still knows what the pulse of a normal person or a normal living being should be like.

But when you touch the patient's wrist at this time, it feels like touching a piece of ice, not like a living thing at all.

It was icy cold and eerie, yet it seemed as if an undercurrent was flowing and pulsating within the body's core and meridians.

"...What the patient wants to see is hypothermia and cold blood vessels?"

"Do not."

The sound of the mirror flow was calm.

"I've come to examine the demonic body to see if it's still capable of flaring up."

Physicians in the Immortal Boat emphasize observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation.

Dan Shu was born blind and unable to "see," so he was exceptionally skilled in "hearing." At this moment, he gleaned a great deal of information from just one sentence.

Has this person already fallen into the demonic realm?

"Those who are about to fall into demonic darkness will mostly show specific symptoms. I have not noticed any in you. The main symptoms are, firstly, hypothermia, and secondly, long-term depression, or rather, extreme negative emotions that exceed depression."

"In that case, there's no need to look anymore."

"The doctor just said that you were wearing an eye patch, and thought you were blind, but now I think you are not."

Jingliu showed no interest in other diagnoses and made no attempt to describe his symptoms, then got up from his seat.

She's starting to resemble a little girl who's reluctant to see a doctor.

Hua Yi brought the chair specifically, not for those brief three minutes.

He looked at Feixiao.

"it's your turn."

"Me? I don't have a demonic body... Never mind, please take a look."

Upon hearing Hua Yi's voice, Dan Shu's ears twitched, and a subtle change appeared in his expression before he quickly composed himself and continued to examine Fei Xiao's pulse.

"General Tianji has refined his body to the extreme, his pulse is strong and powerful, and his pulse has the power to swallow all things. However, the general is burdened with Yue Kuang and has made a move in this great chaos. There are faint signs that it will flare up. This bloodline power is difficult to suppress. Once it is out of control, he will lose his mind at best, and his body will be torn to pieces at worst."

"Such superb medical skills! To be able to diagnose so clearly—there is no cure, right?"

"The general has persisted for many years, which is a miracle in the world."

"Chief Dan, I demand that you keep this a secret and not reveal the extent of my Moon Frenzy."

Fei Xiao's expression was serious. He released a little bit of his aura, using a level of intimidation that wouldn't actually harm the blind woman.

Dan Shu sat there quietly.

"Yes."

"Now that we've seen all the necessary doctors, we..."

"General Tianji, please wait a moment. You should have another companion, whom I haven't had time to treat yet."

Huh?

Is Hua Yi sick?

After hearing Dan Shu's words, Fei Xiao looked at him with surprise, suddenly remembering that this guy had fought with Bu Lizhan before.

Although, according to the Netherworld Martial Arts Officer, Hu Lei pounced over and was instantly defeated, it cannot be ruled out that the two exchanged dozens or even hundreds of blows in an instant at a speed beyond what the Martial Arts Officer could perceive with his naked eye.

Hua Yi is injured?

Pretending to be fine even when injured is quite willful.

"You have quite a strong sense of self-respect. You brought us here in this way, actually to see a doctor for yourself, right? To keep it a secret from the girls on the train? Fine, I'll keep it a secret for you."

"Nonsense, I'm perfectly healthy!" Hua Yi said righteously.

"Still being stubborn! Go see a doctor honestly."

“General Tianji, and that young lady with the cold pulse earlier, you are both women, please step aside for now, and I will treat Mr. Hua Yi.”

What kind of illness requires avoidance? Where has this injury occurred?

Fei Xiao raised her eyebrows slightly, looking Hua Yi up and down, her gaze seemingly trying to see through his clothes to his inner self.

"Please trouble Chief Dan to treat him well. This is a distinguished guest of the Alliance, and we cannot afford to make any mistakes. Use whatever precious medicines are needed. Don't worry about the cost of the patrol; I will reimburse him."

Jingliu also exuded a different kind of aura: "If you can't cure me, just say so, and we'll find another way."

As the two left the medicine hall to avoid the danger, only Hua Yi and Dan Shu remained inside the building.

Hua Yi's gaze lingered on those lifeless eyes for a moment before he spoke slowly.

"Your excuse was a bit clumsy and caused them to misunderstand—so, is there anything you want to talk to me about in private?"

"……is it you?"

"That's right, I'm the kind passerby who helped the blind little girl earlier."

No, that's not what I'm asking.

After a brief moment of contemplation, connecting the various clues, Dan Shu became increasingly certain of his guess.

"During the chaos in Luofu, I suddenly traveled through the world in my mind and gained a special perspective that allowed me to take in the entire immortal ship, but it was not what I saw with my own eyes."

"It's [consciousness], and you can't move anymore. I've deliberately suppressed it."

"!"

Hua Yi looked around the pharmacy. All kinds of medicinal herbs were neatly arranged. He wondered how much effort it must have taken for a blind person to keep his workplace so clean.

It requires sufficient attention to detail and patience.

"Should I regard you as the Chief Alchemist, or the leader of the Medicine King's Secret Teachings?"

"...Just treat me as a casual acquaintance for now, and let me tell you a short story, okay? I won't keep those two outside waiting too long."

"can."

This is not a complicated story.

In summary, it all boils down to those who are born with disabilities striving to live.

As a child, Dan Shu was often bullied by children her age because she was blind, but she did not give up and continued to work hard to complete her studies.

"Later, I made a friend and often received help from her, just like you helped that blind girl before. Yufei helped me in the same way back then."

Hua Yi could see that Dan Shu's expression was stiff when he said these things.

th.

"Unfortunately, I was born blind and could not see Yufei's face. Later, I decided to gouge out my blind eyes and replace them with prosthetic eyes so that I could see Yufei."

"Gouging out your eyes, implanting prosthetic eyes, and then having them rejected by the new eyes that grow back due to the self-healing ability of the immortal species—it was a painful process, and you made a very difficult decision." Hua Yi sighed as he said this.

“You even know these things… Well, after I gained the light, I was once immersed in joy, I saw my best friend, I saw bustling streets and sunsets on the horizon—then, I shed blood and tears during the rejection reaction, fell to the ground wailing, and fell back into darkness.”

Dan Shu heard Hua Yi walking towards him and stopped, perhaps looking at his blind eyes.

"This is not the focus of the story, nor is it the reason why I secretly established the Medicine King's Secret Manual. Later, the third great battle between the Alliance and the Bountiful People broke out. Yufei was an army medic. She told me that she was treating the wounded in the field hospital in the rear. With the Cloud Cavalry eliminating the evil forces at the front, there would be no danger."

“I was still worried, so I prayed and confided in the God of Bows and Fate more than once, asking that revered deity to protect her.”

"Later, the war ended, we won, and Yufei died. Guess how she ended up dying in a field hospital in the rear?"

As Dan Shu recounted her story, she trembled all over, trying to feign ignorance but unable to control the overflowing hatred within her.

"Oh, so it was the great Emperor Bow Master! The Star God descended with a beam of light, annihilating the Bu Li fleet in a single strike. However, this supreme divine grace had some additional damage, destroying everything on the battlefield, whether in front or behind—Yu Fei, and countless others like Yu Fei, were reduced to ashes, their remains never preserved."

Chapter 355 Abundance and Hunting, Elixirs

Emperor Bow Master, this is the last time I will speak to you—

I wish that all living things on earth would defy Your will and grow.

I wish all the stars in the sky would go out because of your existence.

I wish this galaxy belonged to life, not to death.

I wish the alliance could last forever, but not in the way you expect.
