Li Suo's Legacy, and Awakening's Method
🕑 Added 2024-02-08 08:54:48 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 158 ---
Yu Long sipped his tea and scanned through the ancient scroll from one part to another. His mind is working at full speed, deducing the legacy left by the God of Creation.
Li Suo's Legacy!
This Divine Scripture contained a mysterious Medical Knowledge Law of "Creation" referenced from the Primordial Seal of Life & Death. Yes, another heavenly profound treasure.
However, Yu Long quickly discovered that this scroll was incomplete. So, Yun Gu only learned 15% of the whole thing. Still, commendable.
'No wonder he couldn't treat his patient. Even if he filled up the blank himself, he couldn't possibly know that the Primordial Seal of Life & Death was needed in this treatment.' Yu Long sighed inwardly.
No matter how much Yun Gu tried to deduce the Divine Scripture, he couldn't do anything.
Fortunately, Yu Long has [Kaiju Maker]. He doesn't need the Primordial Seal of Life & Death to treat Yun Gu's patient.
"Done." Yu Long said while rolling the scroll back.
Yun Gu's eyes widened, "S-So fast."
"Are you sure you've read the Heavenly Medicine Manual throughly?"
Yu Long rolled his eyes, "Yes. Throw three random questions, and I will answer them."
Yun Gu was shocked, but he still decided to ask a few questions.
"What's the source of Green Blood Disease?" He gazed at Yu Long solemnly.
"Poison." Yu Long answered nonchalantly. "When a mother bore an infant, she might have ingested too much toxin or been bitten by a poisonous creature, which led to her womb being affected by it."
"This practice is 'actually' used when parents want to build early resistance against poison for their child, but this method shouldn't be recommended because of its extreme mortality rate."
"The surviving infant was then born with Green Blood Disease. An inborn mutation of their blood."
Yun Gu's eyes flashed in delight as he continued, "What about Spirit Complex."
"Spirit Complex, huh? It's more injuries than the disease and happened due to the backlash of overtaxing one's mental power." Yu Long answered thoughtfully. "There are many methods to cure the Spirit Complex, but only one could guarantee a patient's life."
"And what is that?" Yun Gu smiled at Yu Long.
Yu Long ignored Yun Gu's smile and added, "Spirit Recovery Pill and a treatment of Yang(Light) Element."
"Good, good." Yun Gu nodded in agreement. "Then, this is my last question."
"Do you know how to treat, if possible, cure Devil's Roots Mark?"
Yu Long snorted, "You're deliberately asking this question. Your patient was the one with Devil's Roots Mark, no?"
Yun Gu chuckled and didn't say much after that, waiting for Yu Long's answer.
Yu Long sighed and replied, "Devil's Roots Mark isn't a disease. It's a blood curse that originated from the ancient era. I don't know how your patient gets this rare curse, but a 'normal' method won't work."
"Humans of this era are weak, so their resistance is weaker than people of the ancient era. You can only relieve some symptoms, but the patient will experience bitter pain every week or two."
"To curse Devil's Roots Mark, an extraction tool is needed. You must have heard of the Primordial Seal of Life & Death."
"Curse, Primordial Sea of Life & Death..."
"Wait, so we need the Primordial Seal of Life & Death to cure Devil's Roots Mark?" Yun Gu's expression darkened.
He had heard of this legendary artifact before and even searched it all over the Azure Cloud Continent once, but he knew such a powerful tool shouldn't exist here.
"You couldn't possibly have it, right?" He gave Yu Long a bright look.
Yu Long smirked, "No, I don't have the Primordial Seal of Life & Death."
"I have something better than that."
"Good, let's treat her immediately!" Yun Gu excitedly jumped from his seat and grabbed a bag filled with medicine and herbs.
"..." Yu Long.
Meanwhile, Su Meiling was amazed. Yu Long actually possessed such profound medical knowledge.
"How did you know so much, Yu Long?"
Yu Long glanced at her and smiled, "Without understanding the human body, I couldn't make suitable profound art. There is a saying that the human body is like a treasure trove to me, and profound art is the key to unlocking those treasures."
"For me, it's like a fun game to spend my time."
"G-Game?"
"Don't take it too literally. It's just a matter of perspective."
"Okay, I have brought everything we needed." Yun Gu placed a straw coat and hat.
"Let's go!"
Yu Long and Su Meling have a complicated look on their faces as they follow the Medical Saint outside.
They walked on foot for two hours, which annoyed Yu Long for a while, but Yun Gu casually said he needed a few medicinal herbs on their way there.
At the same time, Yu Long contacted Zilong about his discovery, and the dragon was shocked. The dragon told Yu Long about the deep history of Li Suo's Legacy, how it was 'extremely' feared by the Devil Race, and its real name.
Miracle of Life! Yes, this is the 'true' name of Heavenly Medicine Manual.
After collecting some herbs, they finally arrived at a small village with dilapidated wooden walls. It seems profound beasts were attacking this place recently.
Yun Gu doesn't seem surprised by the village's condition and knocks on the entrance gate. "This is Yun Gu. Please let me in."
A head poked out of the gap carefully, "Ah, Grandpa Gu!"
"Chief, Grandpa Gu is here!"
The gate opened, and seven people entered Yu Long's vision. Their weary appearance while wielding the makeshift weapons in their hands made Yu Long narrow his eyes slightly.
"Medical Saint, they are..." Su Meiling opened her mouth slowly.
"This is a refugee camp. Recently, the profound beasts have become more aggressive, which led to the destruction of several villages. The survivor ran over the forest and settled here."
'Aggressive profound beast.' Yu Long rubbed his chin. He observed the man who seemed to be the leader of this refugee camp and moved his gaze back to Yun Gu's back.
The leader is a burly man with short brown hair and tattered clothes. He also wore leather armor on top made from profound beast's skins, looking particularly tribal.
As for his strength, the man is surprisingly only at the 7th level of Spirit Profound Realm.
"Doctor, you finally returned!" The man said with an excited grin.
Yun Gu calmly waved his hand and said, "Yes, nice to meet you again, Chief Dan. I'm here for Little Naya."
Chief Dan's grin widened even further, "Of course, Little Naya is waiting in her room as usual. We tried our best to control her condition, but your treatment will definitely save her life."
"These two are?" He gazed at Yu Long and Su Meiling.
Yun Gu replied calmly, "This young man is Yu Long. He's very skilled in the Medical Field and not inferior compared to me."
"As for the lady, she's Su Meiling. Yu Long's companion."
Although Yun Gu knew Su Meiling was the leader of the Grandwake Clan, there is a limit to one's selfishness. He couldn't possibly drag someone to his nuisance.
Chief Dan invited them inside the base, and Yu Long's eyes scanned over the wooden building. He was surprised to find these buildings being well-built.
They entered a small hut and met with a sick-looking young lady in a green dress. The dress is tattered and filled with patches, but it is not something a commoner could buy.
Cough! Cough!
She coughed profusely.
The young lady's eyes lit up after seeing Yun Gu, "Grandpa Gu."
"Little Naya, I come to treat your illness." Grandpa Gu smiled warmly. He couldn't bear seeing the sick girl's condition and told her to sit down.
The young lady's name is Mu Naya. She was the only surviving member of the Mu Family, who lived in the west but was 'recently' massacred due to the profound beast's wave.
Yun Gu made a medicinal brew to lessen Mu Naya's pain, and Yu Long checked her condition with [Kaiju Maker].
'This, another case of awakening...' Yu Long discovered that Mu Naya's condition is similar to Hong Guan, Ye Zhi, and Su Meiling!
She still has the Devil's Roots Curse, which deteriorates her body from the inside out. However, the awakening from extreme emotions fought the curse back, like a regeneration power against cancer cells.
Yu Long opened his mouth, "Hey, do you feel a surge of power when witnessing your family's end?"
Mu Naya's body shook when hearing Yu Long's question. She clutched her head and began crying.
"Oh, no. Yu Long, what have you done?" Yun Gu was speechless by this sudden outcome.
Yu Long put his finger on the lip and hushed Yun Gu, which shut the Medical Saint.
Mu Naya's tears dropped, "It's my fault. I'm just a useless, spoiled brat."
"My father, mother, and brothers died because of me."
"Aah!" She let out a scream of misery.
BOOM!
An eruption of profound energy released from Mu Naya's body, and Yu Long quickly placed his hand on her forehead.
[Art of Violet Mist X Miracle of Life x Great Way of Buddha: Divine Light Recovery]
Yu Long used three profound arts simultaneously, promoting intense healing properties in Mu Naya's body.
He was gambling with Mu Naya's life right now, wanting to see the limit of this new 'awakening' he discovered.
Mu Naya's hair fell off, and a new one grew out.
Her dry skin rejuvenated as the pores released filth inside her body.
As if Yu Long gave her a baptism, Mu Naya rebirth anew with a method one had never heard before.
BOOM!
'Hahaha, success!' Yu Long laughed inside. With the last eruption, a young woman currently stood on the ground. She has flawless skin and appearance, which could make any woman jealous.
She might wear a tattered dress, but it gives off a fallen princess's atmosphere more than anything.
Yu Long observed Mu Naya's body with [Kaiju Maker] and discovered her body was completely different than before. Profound energy flowed naturally into her body as if she was born for it.
The most important transformation is that her genetic locks and chains are unlocked!
'Intense emotion.'
'Rebirth anew.'
'Opening genetic locks within oneself.'
'Breaking the normal standard.'
Yu Long's mind went wild with this new discovery, and one memory from his past life flashed.
In Yu Long's previous life, an S-Rank Esper stood out among the crowds of awakeners. He used to be an F-Rank Cannon Fodder but experienced intense emotion to the point he broke limitations in his body.
In a true sense, he shattered the chains of fate bound to him.
Everyone called him "Desperado."
