Chapter 681: Chapter 701: How Would I Not Know Such a Principle? _1

Gu Yuanjie had noticed Lin Chen before, but since Qiao Wei didn’t introduce him, Gu didn’t think too much about it, assuming he was just a disciple of Fei Pu Peak.

Now that he heard Lin Chen call Qiao Wei as Senior Sister, Gu Yuanjie was taken aback.

There were only three disciples of the Cave Master. The eldest and second disciples were both wandering outside, Qiao Wei was the third disciple. So where did this Junior Brother come from?

Did the Cave Master take another disciple?

Qiao Wei turned to glance at Lin Chen and suddenly recalled his miraculous self-healing ability during the Refining Sword Bone process, her confidence increasing.

"Come on in."

Gu Yuanjie cautiously asked, "M’lady, who is this?"

Qiao Wei casually introduced him, "Lin Chen, his Master is friends with our Cave Master, and he’s currently cultivating with me."

Lin Chen took the initiative to greet him, "Hello, Senior Brother Gu. We’re neighbors, I live in Number 4 Cave Mansion."

Qiao Wei hadn’t taken any disciples, and everyone on Fei Pu Peak were scattered cultivators. All cultivators called each other Senior Brothers and Sisters, while Lin Chen was younger and less powerful, so he naturally addressed them as Junior Brother.

Following Gu Yuanjie, they entered the front yard of the City Lord’s Mansion. As soon as they entered, they saw a few maidservants busily going in and out.

Gu Yuanjie whispered, "This morning, Qianqian’s condition worsened again. I went to invite Physician Sun Liangren of Xingyun Sect, who is temporarily residing in Bai Tao City..."

Qiao Wei nodded, "Xingyun Sect has deep expertise in medicine and alchemy; how is his skill?"

Gu Yuanjie quickly replied, "I’ve invited many physicians to check, but they all felt helpless. Physician Sun has been using elixirs to keep Qianqian alive and trying to find a way, but..."

Gu Yuanjie didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.

This Sun Physician had great skills, but he still couldn’t cure Gu Qianqian.

Qiao Wei stepped forward, "Let me have a look first."

The three of them entered the room and saw Gu Yuanjie’s daughter, Gu Qianqian, lying on the bed with a pale face, a dark red patch on her chest, and struggling to breathe. Her condition looked extremely dangerous.

A white-haired old man sat beside her, looking very serious. This was evidently Physician Sun Liangren mentioned by Gu Yuanjie.

Sun Liangren turned to look at them, furrowing his eyebrows but remaining silent.

Qiao Wei walked to the bedside, scanned Gu Qianqian with her divine sense, and immediately frowned.

The injuries were indeed severe!

Gu Qianqian had been pierced by a sword in her chest, and the Sword Qi filled her entire body. This Sword Qi was like countless tiny blades piercing her five internal organs and six hollow organs, as well as her wound. It was this intense Sword Qi that made the wound unable to heal and continued to bleed outward.

Ordinary people would have died long ago from such injuries, but presumably, Sun Liangren had used some elixir to forcibly keep Gu Qianqian alive.

Qiao Wei turned to Lin Chen, "Lin Chen, take a look."

Lin Chen glanced at Sun Liangren and didn’t move.

Being a physician himself, Lin Chen understood the etiquette between doctors. It was impolite to intervene when someone else was already diagnosing the patient.

Gu Yuanjie hurriedly introduced in a low voice, "Physician Sun, this is City Lord Qiao, and this is her Junior Brother Lin Chen."

Sun Liangren calmly nodded slightly, standing to the side and making an inviting gesture for Lin Chen.

Lin Chen politely cupped his hands towards Sun Liangren, then sat down and carefully examined Gu Qianqian.

Gu Yuanjie looked nervously at Lin Chen, "How is she?"

Lin Chen glanced at Sun Liangren.

Sun Liangren stroked his beard and smiled, "Just speak freely. We’re all here to treat and save lives, so don’t mind me."

Lin Chen smiled slightly and turned to look at Qiao Wei, "She can be saved."

As Gu Yuanjie was Qiao Wei’s most capable assistant and right-hand man, being able to help him would naturally make Qiao Wei feel more grateful and loyal to her. In return, Lin Chen was also indirectly repaying Qiao Wei’s kindness.

Qiao Wei’s expression instantly softened, and a hint of a smile appeared on her face.

Gu Yuanjie’s eyes widened, looking both shocked and overjoyed, "Junior Brother Lin, really? Can she really be saved?"

Lin Chen answered confidently, "The difficulty lies in the countless tiny Sword Qi infiltrating her five internal organs and six hollow organs, as well as the wound, causing damage to all of them and making it difficult for the wound to heal. As long as we can eliminate the Sword Qi, the wound will heal, and she can be saved."

Sun Liangren frowned, "I’m well aware of that, but eliminating the Sword Qi would be like two cultivators fighting inside her body, causing great damage to her. She’s already on her last breath; I’m afraid she’ll die before the Sword Qi is even eliminated."

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Others may find it difficult to eliminate Sword Qi like Physician Sun said, but those with Sword Bone have a refined and subtle control over Sword Qi that others cannot match. Using Sword Qi to counter Sword Qi, then using a special method to treat the five internal organs and stabilize the injury, preventing major damage, and gradually eliminating all Sword Qi, her injury can naturally be healed."

"Sword Bone?"

Sun Liangren looked at Qiao Wei in amazement, "I’ve long heard that City Lord Qiao cultivates the Three-foot Sword Curtain and possesses the Sword Bone. Her strength in this area is unparalleled, but I never thought it could be applied in such a subtle way."

Qiao Wei asked, "Can you handle it?"

Lin Chen raised his left index finger and shook it with a smile, "No problem."

Qiao Wei said decisively, "Then you can start the treatment. We’ll wait outside. If you need my help, just ask."
