Chapter 698: Blood Abnormality!
“Master Fang, is there anything I can help with?” Qin Yao stood outside the room, wringing her hands, her eyes filled with guilt and sadness.
Seeing Jiang Ruolan’s grief, she understood just how terrible the actions of her grand-master, Immortal Flower Butterfly, had truly been!
Now that her grand-master was gone, it was her responsibility to make amends for these wrongs.
“Not at the moment. Just wait outside for a while,” said Fang Yu. “And please close the door. Try not to make any noise.”
Qin Yao nodded, closed the door, and stepped back.
Sitting on the sofa, Qin Yao seemed distracted and absent-minded.
Bai Ran sat nearby, resting with his eyes closed.
Su Lengyun walked out from the inner room and, seeing Qin Yao with her face covered by a thin veil, sat down beside her.
“Hello, I’m Su Lengyun, I’m Yu-ge’s… friend. The situation was urgent earlier, so I didn’t get a chance to greet you properly.” Su Lengyun said with a gentle, faint smile.
“Hello… I’m Qin Yao,” Qin Yao replied immediately.
“How did you come to return with Yu-ge?” Su Lengyun asked curiously.
“I…” Qin Yao didn’t know how to answer this question.
“Let me explain the situation to you, Miss Su.” At this moment, Bai Ran, who had been sitting nearby, opened his eyes and spoke.
“Thank you, Mr. Bai. Let’s keep our voices down…” Su Lengyun said.
…
In the room, Fang Yu once again used his consciousness to examine Ling’er’s condition.
This time, he still found nothing unusual.
Then, Fang Yu infused true qi into Ling’er’s meridians, circulating it for two complete cycles, and everything seemed normal.
Meanwhile, Ling’er’s breathing was steady.
Apart from her extremely high body temperature, unconscious state, and pitch-black eyes, there were no other abnormalities.
“Where exactly is the problem?”
Fang Yu stared at Ling’er, frowning deeply, rubbing his chin in thought.
This condition of Ling’er’s was the most challenging problem he had encountered in all his years of life.
Without finding any abnormality, he had no idea where to start!
After some thought, Fang Yu used his fingers to open Ling’er’s eyes.
Indeed, Ling’er’s eyes remained completely black, with no white visible.
Fang Yu closed his eyes and activated his Eye of Insight.
His pupils glowed red, and in his vision, Ling’er’s body was broken down into various laws and energy aggregations.
As Fang Yu had expected, even with this view, he couldn’t detect any problems with Ling’er’s body.
“How is this possible?”
Fang Yu was completely puzzled and zoomed in his vision.
At this point, he suddenly noticed that the blood flowing through Ling’er’s vessels was boiling!
Zooming in further, he could see the blood breaking down into individual particles.
These particles were in a state of chaotic movement, seemingly rearranging themselves.
“What’s happening?” The white runes in Fang Yu’s pupils rotated rapidly as his vision zoomed to the extreme.
Now, his field of vision contained only about a dozen particles.
These particles appeared faintly gray and were in a state of constant movement, continuously exchanging positions with each other.
This was the most microscopic state, already appearing extremely chaotic.
Not to mention what this situation would look like when magnified to all the blood in Ling’er’s body.
It was basically confirmed that Ling’er had fallen into a coma because of this condition in her blood.
But what caused this condition still needed to be determined.
Could it be… that Immortal Flower Butterfly had tampered with Ling’er’s blood before?
This was possible.
But investigating who caused this situation was meaningless now.
The only thing that needed to be done was to stop this condition.
Blood constantly in a state of boiling chaos would undoubtedly cause harm to the body.
“Using the power of the Eye of Insight to forcibly make these particles stop moving…”
Fang Yu tried to do this, but soon realized it was an impossible task.
Ling’er’s entire body’s blood consisted of at least tens of billions, perhaps hundreds of billions of particles.
At the microscopic level, controlling particles one by one would take an unimaginable amount of time…
This method… had to be rejected.
“There’s another way. Since her blood is in a boiling state, what if I use the Ice Technique to condense some true qi, infuse it into her body, and lower the temperature to stop her blood from moving chaotically?”
Having thought of this method, Fang Yu immediately put it into action.
The Ice Technique came from the Tiandao Sect’s scripture repository and was only a medium-grade mental technique with very low requirements.
Fang Yu raised his right palm, silently recited the incantation, and a pale blue true qi immediately appeared in his palm.
Fang Yu slowly pressed his palm against Ling’er’s forehead.
The icy true qi entered Ling’er’s body, first circulating through her meridians, then spreading throughout her body.
But when the icy true qi touched the area around Ling’er’s blood vessels, it instantly dissipated.
This dissipation seemed to be because the temperature around the blood vessels was too high, evaporating the icy true qi.
However, this time Fang Yu was only testing, so the coldness of the icy true qi wasn’t very intense.
“I have to try again.”
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, pressed his right palm firmly against Ling’er’s forehead, and activated the Ice Technique again.
This time, the icy true qi he infused into Ling’er’s body reached freezing point.
Normally, this level would be enough to freeze an ordinary person solid.
But to Fang Yu’s surprise, when the icy true qi touched Ling’er’s blood vessels again, it still dissipated!
At this point, Fang Yu realized this wasn’t about temperature. There was some invisible energy inside Ling’er protecting her blood vessels!
Fang Yu wasn’t too surprised by this.
Given Ling’er’s astonishing talent, it was normal for her to have secrets within her body.
But regardless, Fang Yu was now somewhat at a loss.
“Blood problems… if it’s not about physique, then it’s about bloodline,” Fang Yu thought.
Fang Yu remembered when he first met Ling’er, she had mentioned her background.
She was an orphan, adopted by Guo Cuiyun of the True Origin Sect from a young age.
So, Ling’er’s family was untraceable.
Ling’er didn’t even have a complete name, just being called by her nickname, Ling’er.
“This is giving me a headache…”
Fang Yu sighed and tapped his forehead.
Ling’er’s current condition, the problem should be with her blood.
Whether this blood condition was benign or malignant couldn’t be determined.
Fang Yu had a feeling that if he could understand the condition of Ling’er’s blood, it might explain why he felt familiar with her.
“Looks like I need to find help,” Fang Yu’s eyes flickered.
His medical skills, in the cultivation world of his time, could at most be considered entry-level.
Many cultivators who entered the Dao through medicine were stronger than Fang Yu back then.
But after so many years of accumulation, Fang Yu’s medical skills were definitely among the top in the current world.
Being at the top didn’t mean being the first.
In Fang Yu’s mind, the number one medical expert in the current world was neither the deceased Xia Xiuzhi nor the publicly recognized Immortal Cangxi of the Ten Thousand Herbs Sect in the martial arts world.
The true number one in medicine was someone else.
Without delay, Fang Yu picked up Ling’er and walked out of the room.
The three people who had been talking quietly all stood up and looked at Fang Yu.
“Yu-ge…”
“Master Fang…”
Su Lengyun and Qin Yao spoke simultaneously.
“I can’t handle this. I need to find an old friend to help,” Fang Yu said.
“Mr. Fang, I’ll go with you!” Bai Ran immediately stepped forward.
“No need. My old friend isn’t exactly hospitable,” Fang Yu said.
After speaking, Fang Yu activated his Void Ring and focused his mind.
“He should still be there, right?”
With a thought, Fang Yu’s body was enveloped in a glow of light.
Then, he and Ling’er in his arms disappeared from the living room.
“Will little Ling’er… be cured?” Qin Yao murmured softly.
“Don’t worry too much. Yu-ge will definitely find a way,” Su Lengyun comforted her.
“Others might not have a solution, but Mr. Fang definitely will!” Bai Ran also said firmly.
…
Fang Yu, carrying Ling’er, appeared in a wilderness.
Except for a tree stump in front of him, there was nothing else, making it look even more barren than the desert regions of the Northwest.
This place was 4,000 kilometers away from Xicheng, located in the easternmost three provinces of the Nine States Country.
A kilometer or two further, and it would no longer be within the territory of the Nine States Country.
Fang Yu looked at the tree stump in front of him, crouched down, and placed his right palm on it.
