Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1206: Chapter 1206: Offering A Large Reward to Find a Doctor

Some alchemists were anxiously waiting, some were deep in thought with their heads bowed, and others were whispering about something.

However, when they saw a young man of only sixteen or seventeen years old suddenly entering the courtyard, they all showed an unmistakable look of astonishment.

It should be known that the youngest here were all over forty years old, and at Ling Xiao’s age, it was simply too young.

Ling Xiao did not pay attention to their doubtful gazes but walked into the courtyard instead.

There was a pavilion inside, with an armchair inside of it, and an old man was lying there, with Fengming Piaoxue accompanying him by his side.

Ling Xiao looked at Fengming Piaoxue, and Fengming Piaoxue also noticed Ling Xiao.

”Why are you here!”

Fengming Piaoxue was not very happy to see Ling Xiao.

This guy, during his time in Divine Phoenix Capital, did not give her any face at all, even going as far as to contradict her in front of others, which made her very angry and upset.

”What, you know each other?”

Jackson Le Grandmaster, despite being injured, was still talking and walking normally and asked when he heard Fengming Piaoxue speaking with the young man who had just arrived.

”Grandfather, this guy is the Ling Xiao I mentioned. He’s so arrogant and didn’t give me any face at all, causing me to lose face in front of my peers.”

Fengming Piaoxue shook Jackson Le Grandmaster’s arm as she spoke.

”Hehe, so he is Ling Xiao, the Heavenly Emperor from the Heavenly Dynasty, interesting, I didn’t expect him to be so young.”

Jackson Le Grandmaster looked at Ling Xiao, his eyes also showing a hint of interest.

”Grandfather, help me teach him a lesson, otherwise, I will really lose face!”

When Fengming Piaoxue was at Phoenix God College, she completely was a cold figure, but in front of Jackson Le Grandmaster, she suddenly turned into a spoiled girl, it’s hard to know which one is her true face.

”Piaoxue, don’t be unreasonable, everyone who came here today is here to treat your grandfather’s injuries, how can we talk about teaching them a lesson?”

A man who also appeared to be in his forties said with a bitter smile and shook his head to Fengming Piaoxue.

”Him? Capable of healing my grandfather? If he really can cure my grandfather, I’ll marry him!”

Fengming Piaoxue’s face was full of disdain.

Although she knew that Ling Xiao also had some medical skills, her grandfather’s injuries were such a big problem that not even a Yellow Grade Super Pharmacist could solve it; how could Ling Xiao have any hope?

”Miss Piaoxue, I really cannot afford such an offer.”

Ling Xiao said indifferently.

”What did you say?”

Fengming Piaoxue could hardly believe it: ”Am I, a young miss, not good enough for you, a human?”

That man’s and Jackson Le Grandmaster’s expressions also did not look very good, after all, Fengming Piaoxue was their relative, and being looked down upon like this did not give them face.

”This isn’t about being worthy or not, my visit this time is only for one thing, and that is the Changle Flower from Changle Immortal Island, as for anything else, I haven’t considered it yet.”

Ling Xiao still spoke calmly and evenly.

”It seems that you, young lad, are quite confident. Well then, you stand aside for now. If you can truly cure my injuries, let alone the Changle Flower, even if it’s something more valuable than the Changle Flower, I’m willing to give it to you.”

Jackson Le Grandmaster, having a favor to ask of others, did not insist on blaming Ling Xiao, but like Fengming Piaoxue, he did not take Ling Xiao’s words seriously, thinking it was the haughtiness of youth and not worth mentioning.

Ling Xiao cupped his hands in greeting, then stood to one side to wait.

About a quarter of an hour later, Tong Gang brought the last batch of alchemists into the separate courtyard.

”Ladies and gentlemen, the specifics of our Grandmaster’s injury are unknown to anyone. Precisely because the cause cannot be identified, there is no way to treat it. Today, with so many alchemists present, I believe that through our collective wisdom and efforts, there will be a solution. So, let’s begin. Everyone please come forward to attempt the diagnosis in the order you entered here,”

Tong Gang announced.

”As long as any of you can determine the cause of the Grandmaster’s illness, a generous reward will be given. If one can cure it, then the reward will be doubled!”

Upon hearing this, the alchemists all lined up.

Ling Xiao did not rush; he found a spot to sit down, sipped tea, and watched the performances of those in front of him.

The diagnostic processes of these people also served as a reference for him.

The first to step forward to diagnose Grandmaster Le was an old man with white beard, who appeared to be over a hundred years old, and was a Yellow Grade Super Pharmacist, the strongest among the Yellow Grade Alchemists.

However, after more than ten minutes, he helplessly shook his head and said: ”I apologize, I am incapable. I cannot discern the cause of the Grandmaster’s illness. The injury is indeed peculiar, and I truly cannot figure out what caused it.”

Upon hearing this, Fengming Piaoxue, Tong Gang and the rest did not show any disappointed expressions, as they had actually anticipated such an outcome.

After all, before coming here, they had already tried having the alchemists on Changle Immortal Island attempt a diagnosis, to no avail.

The old man moved to the side, but did not leave. After him, many alchemists excitedly went forth, only to return shaking their heads in resignation.

Not a single person could diagnose the true cause of Grandmaster Le’s illness, let alone treat it.

”Alas, I have said it earlier, coming here would be in vain. Which of the alchemists on Changle Immortal Island is not more excellent than those here? Yet you insisted on coming, causing such trouble,”

Seeing that Ling Xiao was the only remaining alchemist who hadn’t made a move, Grandmaster Le had completely lost hope, and even felt a bit angry.

Being ill, he had made the troublesome journey from Changle Immortal Island to Crime City, which was certainly vexing and understandably uncomfortable.

The alchemists who had already tried diagnosing wore unhappy expressions, although they were quite indignant at Grandmaster Le’s remarks.

However, they had to admit that they indeed had not made any significant diagnoses, and could only bow their heads and sigh helplessly.

”Elder, your words are not proper. The alchemists from Changle Immortal Island may not necessarily be better than those from Crime City. If they were better, then elder, you wouldn’t have needed to come here seeking medical advice.”

Just at that moment, a cold and arrogant voice rose, drawing everyone’s attention.

”Is it him?”

Everyone looked, and the one speaking was none other than the young man who was sitting and drinking tea.

”How insolent, how dare you speak to my grandfather like that?”

Fengming Piaoxue said, bursting with fury.

The surrounding alchemists, who had failed, looked at Ling Xiao with a glimpse of hope in their eyes.

They too were displeased with Grandmaster Le’s words, but they did not dare to stand up and counter.

Ling Xiao had stood up for them, which they naturally supported at heart, though they did not dare to express it openly.

”You are the one being insolent! Has your family not taught you how to address an alchemist who has come in sincere efforts to treat and heal? It seems you wish to doom your grandfather!”

Ling Xiao glanced indifferently at Fengming Piaoxue and suddenly retorted sharply.

”I—I didn’t!”

Fengming Piaoxue instantly found herself at a loss for words, not knowing how to rebut Ling Xiao, because his statement was, indeed, accurate.
