Staring at the Medicine Saint for a long time, the old man finally snorted coldly and said, "Medicine Saint, today I'll give you face. I hope you behave yourself and don't cause trouble for Medicine King Valley!"
There was no other way; his injuries were not light, and coupled with Ye Cangtian's peculiar soul attack, the situation was already very tricky.
If the Medicine Saint were added, he would likely be at an even greater disadvantage.
Moreover, the Medicine Saint's medical skills were outstanding, and he might need to seek his help in the future. Therefore, it was better to avoid offending him if possible.
He turned his gaze to Ye Cangtian and said fiercely, "Ye Cangtian, you're lucky today. I'll let you off for now. The next time we meet, I guarantee it will be your death!"
"Old man, as I said before, it's still uncertain who lives and who dies. Don't talk big and get your tongue twisted!" Ye Cangtian said coldly upon hearing this.
...
After the old man left, the Medicine Saint's gaze shifted to Ye Cangtian, his brows furrowing slightly.
"He's gone, why aren't you leaving yet?"
Hearing the other party's voice, Ye Cangtian quickly stepped forward a few paces, cupped his hands in a salute, and said, "This junior, Ye Cangtian of the Hidden Organization, pays respects to Senior Medicine Saint. This junior came here specifically to visit you."
"Ye Cangtian of the Hidden Organization? Never heard of it!"
"But is what you said true? That person is also from the Hidden Organization, so why are you fighting amongst yourselves?"
Upon hearing this, the Medicine Saint's brows furrowed even tighter, and he immediately began to question.
But as soon as the words left his mouth, the Medicine Saint realized something was amiss and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, you don't need to answer me. I'm not interested in your affairs."
He then remembered the warning the other party had given him when he left. Clearly, there was some unspeakable secret between the other party and Ye Cangtian in front of him.
Since it might bring trouble to Medicine King Valley, it was best not to inquire further.
"Senior, to be honest, the person just now was from the Hidden Organization..."
On the other side, seeing the Medicine Saint's actions, Ye Cangtian immediately understood that the Medicine Saint must know something about the traitor, and perhaps he could find out the traitor's identity from him.
So he quickly stepped forward and said.
However, before he could finish, the Medicine Saint's expression turned serious.
"Stop!"
"I said, I don't want to know about your affairs!"
The Medicine Saint looked sharply at Ye Cangtian. Seeing that the latter had fallen silent, he continued, "You fought in front of my Medicine King Valley, which has violated the rules of Medicine King Valley. You should leave quickly now and never come again in the future!"
With that, the Medicine Saint ignored Ye Cangtian and turned to walk deeper into Medicine King Valley.
"Senior, wait a moment!"
Ye Cangtian quickly called out to the Medicine Saint and said, "Senior, I did not intend to violate the rules of Medicine King Valley. It's just that when I arrived here, an enemy blocked my path. Please forgive me for the offense."
Saying this, Ye Cangtian bowed to the Medicine Saint to express his apologies.
Perhaps sensing Ye Cangtian's sincerity, the Medicine Saint turned around, glanced at Ye Cangtian, and then looked at Elder Long, who had been silent all along in the distance.
Finally, he slowly said, "You came for him, didn't you?"
Ye Cangtian's heart suddenly jolted.
Could it be that the Medicine Saint could tell Elder Long's condition from such a distance?
Thinking to himself, Ye Cangtian quickly cupped his hands and said, "Indeed. This is Senior Long Xuefeng of the Hidden Organization. He had just recovered some of his injuries, but there are still some lingering issues, and I'd trouble Senior Medicine Saint to take a look."
Ye Cangtian gave a simple introduction. He didn't hide anything about Elder Long's condition, as there was no taboo in medicine.
"So you are Long Xuefeng!"
"I've heard about your condition. To recover to this extent is truly a miracle!"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, the Medicine Saint glanced at Long Xuefeng and said calmly.
Long Xuefeng had also been a legendary figure in the Huaxia ruins, and his deeds were widely circulated.
Moreover, Long Xuefeng had sought medical treatment everywhere after his injury, so his condition spreading among medical practitioners was normal.
On the other side, Elder Long slowly stepped forward and nodded slightly, "That's right. It is indeed remarkable that I could recover to my current state, but I am still far from my peak."
As he spoke, he looked at the Medicine Saint again, clearly asking if he had any other solutions.
The Medicine Saint was silent for a moment, then said, "Follow me. We'll discuss it inside the valley."
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian's expression immediately brightened, and he quickly followed with Elder Long.
...
Medicine King Valley.
The entire canyon was vast, stretching three to four kilometers long, lined with various medicinal herbs. At the deepest part of the canyon lay a village.
The village had at least a hundred households.
According to the Medicine Saint's introduction, there was originally only him here. But as the number of injured people he treated increased, many of them were attracted by the peace and tranquility of the place during their recovery.
So after they were healed, they voluntarily stayed and took on the role of guards within the valley.
In addition, many medical practitioners who had come with great admiration also stayed.
During their casual conversation, the Medicine Saint led Ye Cangtian and the other to the very back of the village, to the largest farmhouse.
Besides drying some medicinal herbs, the farmhouse had a grass pavilion and a few wooden houses, looking very simple.
This was the Medicine Saint's own residence.
The Medicine Saint invited the two into the room, poured them a cup of tea, and then sat down.
Only then did Ye Cangtian impatiently ask, "Senior Medicine Saint, do you have a better solution for Elder Long's injuries?"
"Yes, but I cannot treat him."
The Medicine Saint looked at Ye Cangtian and said helplessly after a moment of silence.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian's expression changed, and he quickly asked, "Senior Medicine Saint, is it because of the threat from the person just now?"
The Medicine Saint nodded slowly and said, "That's right, it's because of him. Although I am not afraid of him, you saw that there are still many injured people in the valley, and I cannot help but consider them..."
At this, Ye Cangtian fell silent.
Although he hoped the Medicine Saint would take action to completely heal Elder Long's injuries, he could not implicate these innocent people for his own selfish reasons.
In that case, it would be better to have Yao Bao'er treat him after returning. Although it would take a long time, it would at least not implicate anyone else.
On the other hand, Elder Long's expression darkened after hearing this, and he said, "Since you are unwilling to act, why did you let us into the valley?"
"Elder Long, please do not be angry!"
"Elder Long, to be honest, I owe my current position in Medicine King Valley to you."
"If you hadn't led the Hidden Organization team to explore the western region back then and opened up a path, I would never have had the chance to come here..."
Seeing Elder Long's expression change, the Medicine Saint, strangely, did not get angry. Instead, he became even more respectful towards Elder Long.
He was once just a medical practitioner. Although he had some abilities, they were far from what they were now, let alone possessing his current formidable strength.
Everything was thanks to Elder Long leading the team to open up a path.
It was this that gave him the opportunity to find this valley and inherit some medical techniques and pill-refining methods, leading to his current status.
For this reason, when Ye Cangtian introduced him as Long Xuefeng, his heart was filled with gratitude, which was why he invited him into the valley as a guest.
"Hmph! Your current status is all due to your luck and hard work, it has nothing to do with me. You don't need to thank me."
"Since you won't act, I won't force you. I'll take my leave now!"
Hearing the Medicine Saint's words, Elder Long's expression remained grim.
The reason was none other than his extreme dislike for the Medicine Saint's cowardice.
After all, if he was so wary of the traitor's threat, why didn't he just let them fight the traitor to the end?
And now, in his opinion, it was as if he was deliberately helping the traitor escape.
"Elder Long, please don't be angry. I have my difficulties. I must consider the injured people in the valley!"
The Medicine Saint quickly tried to appease him and continued, "Besides that, although I cannot personally treat you, I can tell you the specific method.
I believe that with the skill of the physician who treated you, obtaining this method will surely help you return to your peak..."
Hearing this, Elder Long's expression eased slightly.
After pondering for a moment, he slowly said, "Besides that, I want to know the identity of the person just now."
