In the research division of the Hongchen Pavilion, Ye Ling followed Ye Yi back to the room where the Tongtian Tower was located.
A large number of extraordinary individuals from the Hongchen Pavilion had already gathered there. Various medical instruments were placed around Lei Luo, and the best physicians in the institute were surrounding the unconscious Lei Luo, examining his physical condition.
Upon seeing the Tongtian Tower reduced to dust, Ye Yi's brow furrowed. She quickly walked up to the physicians and asked in a deep voice, "How is he?"
Ye Yi knew Lei Luo and was aware that he was a staunch supporter of the Hongchen Pavilion's hawkish faction.
Lei Luo had previously harbored murderous intent towards her, and it was highly likely that Lei Luo had orchestrated the Hongchen Pavilion's sneak attack on her this time.
Logically speaking, Ye Yi's best course of action would be to eliminate Lei Luo now. However, Lei Luo was the sole witness to the destruction of the Tongtian Tower. If Lei Luo died now, everyone present would be in trouble!
One physician frowned and shook his head, stating solemnly, "It's very strange. Lei Luo only has some superficial wounds, and all his physical indicators are normal. Yet, he cannot wake up, as if his consciousness is trapped somewhere."
"Consciousness trapped somewhere?" Ye Yi's eyes slightly narrowed, and she asked again, "Do you have any way to wake him up?"
The physicians all shook their heads. Although their medical skills were superb, they were unable to deal with matters at the soul level and were powerless in this situation.
Ye Ling then stepped forward and said with a smile, "I might be able to help."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Ye Yi's eyes lit up slightly, and she quickly asked, "Can Mr. Kong help?"
The physicians who were diligently treating Lei Luo saw a young lad step forward, claiming he could solve a problem that all of them, the chief physicians, combined could not. A hint of displeasure flashed in their eyes. One of them asked Ye Yi, "Minister, who is this kid..."
Ye Yi quickly introduced, "He is Mr. Kong Xu Han, Kong."
"Kong Xu Han? The legendary Medical Immortal?"
Upon hearing Ye Yi's words, the physicians' expressions changed instantly. The disdain in their eyes completely vanished, and they looked at Ye Ling with shock, their faces filled with disbelief.
Subsequently, they quickly bowed to Ye Ling and apologized, "We were blind and offended Divine Doctor Kong! We beg Divine Doctor Kong for forgiveness!"
Kong Xu Han was a renowned physician from a hundred years ago, known throughout the medical world. They had assumed Kong Xu Han had long since passed away, but they never expected him to be so young!
'Could this be the power of the legendary Elixir of Immortality?'
After examining Ye Ling's youthful appearance, the physicians became incredibly excited. They abandoned Lei Luo and crowded around Ye Ling, constantly seeking his advice on medical techniques.
Seeing the physicians surrounding Ye Ling, Ye Yi also coughed lightly and reprimanded, "What is this behavior, pestering Mr. Kong? Hurry and step aside!"
Hearing Ye Yi's warning, the physicians snapped back to reality, apologized to Ye Ling again, and quickly retreated to the side.
However, the look in their eyes towards Ye Ling remained filled with infinite reverence.
Kong Xu Han might not be widely known among ordinary people, but within the circle of extraordinary individuals, he was almost revered as a deity.
The title of Medical Immortal was well-known!
Not everyone could be called an "Immortal."
Ye Ling did not expect someone like Kong Xu Han to enjoy such great prestige in the medical field, and he shook his head slightly.
However, anyone who truly understood what kind of person Kong Xu Han was would know that he was a charlatan who stole fame.
Even his famous elixir, the Elixir of Immortality, was merely refined using the powerful properties of Qilin blood.
Compared to Kong Xu Han's medical skills, Ye Ling felt his Gu arts were far more refined.
After dismissing the physicians who were fans of Kong Xu Han, Ye Yi walked up to Ye Ling and said in a low voice, "Mr. Kong, can I ask you for a favor?"
"What is it?"
Ye Yi continued, "Although Lei Luo is currently the only witness to the destruction of the Tongtian Tower, he is also my nemesis, and his strength is above mine. If he is suddenly awakened, I might be in danger. Yet, we must wake him up to inquire about the specific situation here."
Ye Ling raised an eyebrow, "So, Miss Ye means that while I wake him up, I should also add some 'ingredients' to him to restrict his cultivation?"
Ye Yi nodded and pleaded in a low voice, "Please, Mr. Kong!"
Seeing Ye Yi's pleading gaze, Ye Ling smiled. For some reason, he felt more and more that this Ye Yi was his sister.
After all, Ye Yi was a clone. Even if she wasn't the real Ye You, her every move and every smile carried the shadow of Ye You.
It was natural for Ye Ling to have this illusion.
Unable to refuse Ye Yi's request, Ye Ling gave her an "okay" gesture. He then walked up to Lei Luo, reached into his pocket, and took out a set of silver needles and a bottle containing Gu worms from his spatial ring.
Lei Luo was the one Ye Ling had knocked unconscious, and he could actually wake him up at any time.
However, with so many people watching, Ye Ling had to put on a show.
He inserted the silver needles into several acupoints on Lei Luo. Then, Ye Ling opened the bottle, allowing the Gu worms to crawl into Lei Luo's clothes and penetrate his body.
The people around them couldn't help but feel a sense of fear and a chill down their spines as they witnessed Ye Ling's methods.
Setting aside the strange acupuncture techniques, the Gu worms that could burrow into the body were incredibly unsettling and terrifying.
No one wanted to be targeted by Ye Ling's Gu worms!
Just as everyone was wondering what would happen next, Ye Ling withdrew the needles and stood up, saying to Ye Yi, "It's done."
"It, it's done?"
Before she could recover from the shock of the Gu worms, she heard Ye Ling's words and was somewhat stunned. "It's finished already?"
She had expected Ye Ling to perform a series of dazzling maneuvers, but she never imagined that simply inserting a few silver needles and releasing some Gu worms could awaken the unconscious Lei Luo...
This was perhaps more mystical than Xuanhuan!
Ye Ling smiled and said, "This fellow has merely fallen into a deep sleep and cannot wake up. He needs external stimulation. Once his meridians are unblocked, he will naturally awaken."
Then, Ye Ling took out a sachet and threw it to Ye Yi, continuing, "As for those Gu worms, they are the insurance I've set up for you. Hold this sachet. As long as Lei Luo smells it, the 'Marrow-Devouring Worms' hidden within him will gnaw at his meridians, causing him to lose all his cultivation."
The Gu worms and the sachet were all things Ye Ling had found on Kong Xu Han.
Kong Xu Han's skills in using Gu were each more sinister than the last. The Marrow-Devouring Worms alone were the most "gentle" Gu worms Ye Ling could find.
With the Gu worms he had found on Kong Xu Han, many could be considered the most cruel and terrifying punishments in the world, enough to leave a person with lifelong trauma.
Making life worse than death.
Ye Yi took the sachet, still feeling a bit shaken by Ye Ling's words. However, she had no intention of sympathizing with Lei Luo, who had tried to kill her. After putting away the sachet, she bowed to Ye Ling and said, "Thank you, Mr. Kong..."
At the same time, Lei Luo, who had been lying unconscious, gradually began to wake up.
The powerful reinforcements from the Hongchen Pavilion arrived one after another.
Among them were people Ye Ling was familiar with.
