Chapter 737: Chapter 251: Just a Transaction [Extra Chapter for Leader of Mu Yi Miao Alliance on Mo Shang] Chapter 737: Chapter 251: Just a Transaction [Extra Chapter for Leader of Mu Yi Miao Alliance on Mo Shang] “Senior Jiao, I must warn you ahead of time, your condition is extremely peculiar, the essence within your body has suffered a remarkable and significant degree of damage which is unlike other demon or human beings who have commonly suffered from the loss of their essence.”

Therefore, the resources needed to heal your damaged essence will greatly differ from those of prior seniors I have treated. To speak frankly, I’m uncertain of my ability to heal you, Senior, but the golden lotus you brought out at the end, even though I have no knowledge of what kind of Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure it is, I can sense the vast life essence within it…”

Feng Yin said, “If we use this golden lotis as a guide and refine and reverse the life and death energy within it into the Qi of the Great Dao… mixed with the resources we previously had, there is indeed a chance to heal the fragmented essence of the Senior. However, I don’t know if the senior would be willing to try.”

Jiao Sansheng respectfully responded: “I also don’t know much about the origin of this golden lotus; it is a spoil of war from an ancient battle with the Abyss. Although I’m unaware of the extent of its magic, I dared not to take it recklessly… I’ve treasured it up to this point, and it turns out that the distinguished doctor values it today—it seems that it was predestined.”

Feng Yin was disappointed. He had originally expected Jiao Sansheng to reveal the source of the golden lotus, but Jiao Sansheng himself was unaware of it.

There was no alternative but to stop the investigation.

“The Battle of the Abyss?”

Feng Yin asked, “May I ask, Senior Jiao, what is the story behind this?”

“In demon society, there is a place called the Jiuyou Mountain Range and hidden within the mountains is a bottomless Abyss… Which has always been suppressed by ancient seals because of this place is regarded as the greatest enemy in the demon clan, and yet, for some reason, an explosion occurs after a very long time. Each time it does, countless strange life-forms will rush out…”

“These life-forms are powerful and vicious. After each outbreak, the demon tribes would seek to exterminate whatever emerged. That is because… those monsters regard both humans and demons as their food.”

Jiao Sansheng lowered his voice and said, “Speaking of which, the location of the Jiuyou Mountain Range is not far from the hometown of the Cat Emperor…”

Feng Yin simply responded with acknowledgement, no longer asking further questions.

Jiao Sansheng’s statement implied that if Feng Yin wanted to know more, he should ask the Cat Emperor. She would undoubtedly know more than Jiao Sansheng himself.

As a proud person, how could Feng Yin press for details?

“I mentioned earlier that this particular elixir is unique. To produce it, we will need at least eight hours. Will you wait here or elsewhere?”

“I’ll wait here.”

Jiao Sansheng kept his head lowered as he spoke, “Outside, there aren’t many who tolerate me…I’m considered an outcast by my tribe, and my resources are limited, so my additional donations are quite meager…”

As he spoke, he took out another pile of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and coughed twice, “I really don’t have the face to go out and embarrass myself.”

Feng Yin looked and saw that they were indeed all common items, but they were better than nothing.

Feng Yin’s tone was indifferent, yet full of kindness, he earnestly said, “Senior, you needn’t worry. Anyone who pays enough spiritual medicinal ingredients and resources has the right to seek medical treatment here; and as a physician who has received consultation fees, healing the senior’s injuries is nothing more than a fair trade. Just a transaction.”

He pronounced the word “transaction” with extraordinary clarity.

Feng Yin earnestly said, “The so-called additional donations are all resources and are not subject to any restrictions. Since the senior’s resources are limited, there is no need to give anything extra. Please take these extras back.”

Jiao Sansheng hesitated, then replied, “It’s a small token of my appreciation. Even if it’s a fair trade, there should be some extra gifts.”

He hadn’t expected this physician, whom he’d only briefly interacted with, to suddenly understand his true intentions.

A transaction.

Just a transaction!

Correct, that’s what he thought.

“In that case, thank you for your kind gift, Senior.”

Feng Yin nodded. He didn’t reject the gift simply because of his pride. That would seem discourteous.

Feng Yin calmly accepted Jiao Sansheng’s gift, and smiled, “I will start making the pills now. Please wait patiently here, Senior.”

“Yes, thank you, distinguished physician.”

Jiao Sansheng watched Feng Yin walk away, a hint of surprise flittering across his eyes, which were hidden by his disheveled hair.

He originally thought Feng Yin would attempt to recruit him again.

However, to his surprise, the distinguished physician didn’t even mention it.

The instinctive intuition unique to the demon clan told him that he seemed to have lost something, perhaps a benefit, an opportunity, or perhaps…

Jiao Sansheng sat in the chair, alone in contemplation. As he lifted his head, his eyes exposed a defiant and icy glare, accompanied by a thoughtful look.

It wasn’t until now that he really started to consider what he should do after he was healed?

At the same time, he was thinking… If the distinguished physician took so many of his items, especially the golden lotus, and still failed to heal him, what should he do then?

Time ticked away little by little.

The news that the variety shop was going to have a new medicine available spread quickly, and the number of people queueing began to increase, the line growing longer and longer.

And this time, even those who were beyond number 200 in line didn’t leave.

When the two hundred in front of them left, they would be among the first ten. They would definitely get some.

Such positions were worth their weight in gold.

How could they possibly give them up?

Three to seven days, ten to eight days, or even half a month, what does it matter if they have to stay in one place for that long?

So, this street, for an indefinite period in the future, became the most congested street in Yuezhou!

Feng Yin returned to the small courtyard. The first thing he saw was the Cat Emperor holding Feng Ying, curiously pinching the little one’s tail with fascination.

A newly grown eighth tail!

Even though she was his mother, the little one still showed clear disapproval. He squirmed and wiggled; it was just another tail added, what was so interesting about that?

The moment he saw Feng Yin was back, he leaped to his feet, instantly broke free from the Cat Emperor’s embrace, and rushed into Feng Yin’s arms, nestling into his chest with little noises of contentment.

“Did you see Jiao Sansheng?”

The Cat Emperor asked.

“I did.”

“How was it?”

“Ah, how to put it… relatively sober.”

Feng Yin carefully selected his words.

“Sober?”

“Yes, probably due to being wounded by the harsh realities of the world too many times, and reaching a kind of sober understanding through it all. He seems arrogant but does not lack despair; you see him as aloof, unruly, solitary, cold… but it’s probably just a pessimistic mindset formed after too much pain.”

Feng Yin smiled, “I think when he was first seriously injured, contrary to what he told you, he might not have completely dismissed the mentality of a loser, but instead had probably sunk into despair.”

“However, after experiencing so much hardship and realization, he completely lost his spirit. This prompted him to desire a return to the peak, to be high and mighty, looking down upon others, which I think is understandable. The extraordinarily high self-esteem he now displays is indeed a result of his deep-seated and even more significant sense of inferiority.”

“So, in the whole wide world, there is no one he respects or a demon he admires. Even if someone is higher than him in rank, he will not yield; his personality is predominantly like that.”

The Cat Emperor pondered for a while, only partially comprehending, and decided to stop thinking further.

Because no matter how much you ruminate, without personal experience, it’s hard to fully understand this kind of personality shaped by pain.

“What have you planned for Jiao Sansheng?”

“Not much actually, just the usual treatment. As long as he has paid adequately, I won’t shortchange him or deliberately not cure him. One ought to strictly abide by the rules one sets…” said Feng Yin.

“As for what will happen after, we’ll have to see how his luck unfolds.”

“Nice!” exclaimed the Cat Emperor in rare praise.

If Feng Yin had rejected Jiao Sansheng and played tricks in the treatment process, she would inevitably feel uncomfortable inside, even if she didn’t say so.

But the fact that Feng Yin demonstrated no petty tricks now made the Cat Emperor satisfyingly happy; no matter how proud Jiao Sansheng was, he was still in debt to Feng Yin!

This was a fact that could not be erased!

Jiao Sansheng swallowed the medicine immediately after receiving it, without the slightest hesitation.

His trust in the divine physician seemed even stronger than that of others.

And the effectiveness of the two elixirs did live up to his expectations. They quickly showed their medicinal impact, beginning to heal the torn roots of his life force. Realizing his injuries, which had initially seemed impossible to heal, started to recover, he was overwhelmed with tears of joy.

Jiao Sansheng didn’t dare to waste an iota of the medicinal power and absorbed it religiously.

He could truly feel every bit of improvement in his body.

The unprecedented stimulation overwhelmed his heart, causing his blood to rush and heart to almost burst with excitement, making it hard for him to calm down.

He had only one thought in his mind right now; although he knew this divine physician was extraordinary, he had never expected him to be so remarkably effective.

Just two pills brought such immediate results?!

Although he came here with a lot of hope, he was fully aware of his condition and knew that his damage was different from a common injury. He had that mentality of ‘it doesn’t matter if he can’t be cured, I’m used to disappointments.’

He couldn’t believe he was actually healed; the recovery was beyond expectations and extraordinarily smooth!

Just two pills, that’s all!

The divine physician stood across the room with a calm expression on his face, holding a jade bottle in his hand which still had one pill left in it.

Eventually when Jiao Sansheng managed to open his eyes and raise his head, his gaze filled with gratitude and excitement met Feng Yin’s.

“Looking at your condition, it should have greatly improved. How much did it recover?” asked Feng Yin casually.

“Thanks to the divine physician! My injury has not only significantly improved but recovered much more than I anticipated. It has exceeded my expectations and is even better than my best-case scenario!”

Jiao Sansheng bowed deeply in sincere thanks.

He even had a thought, that if Feng Yin were to employ him as a bodyguard right now, he might not fully commit, but he would be open to negotiating a short-term contract.

Feng Yin remained warm and affable, “Ultimately, the relationship between a patient and a physician essentially represents a form of trade; you pay, and I treat your ailment. Nothing more than that. However, considering it involves health and even life, its implications seem grander than ordinary supply-demand relationships. But in essence, it’s the same thing.”

“Just trade.”
