Medical Sage

”Old bastard, it seems you’re here to cause trouble today, aren’t you?”

The repeated provocations of the opposing party had finally made Chen Fei lose his temper.

Unflinching and confrontational, Chen Fei looked at the Blue Whale Elder with a steely gaze and said, ”This is my Enlightened Deity Cave, not your Canglan Island. If you want to show off, go back home to do it. Otherwise, if you really want to stir up trouble in my Enlightened Deity Cave, just say so. Do you think I, Chen Fei, can’t handle you?”

As his voice fell, Chen Fei waved his right hand subtly, and a milky white spiritual light silently descended, sinking into the ground.

Afterwards, strands of buried dangerous aura slowly began to surface, with formation patterns flickering.

However, the Blue Whale Elder seemed not to notice.

This was his ace in the hole, a Five-Layer Human Formation technique that, with Zhen Jingkong’s guidance, had taken him a full half-month to barely set up in the depths of this hall.

Were it not for his current level of formation expertise, even with Zhen Jingkong’s guidance, he wouldn’t have been able to set up a Six-Layer Human Formation, thus boosting his confidence and tactics even further!

Nevertheless, the Five-Layer Human Formation technique is more than enough to deal with this brainless fool.

”Huh? What’s this feeling, could it be...”

Taoist Cang Kun seemed to sense something, his eyes suddenly narrowing, and then a look of shock appeared on his face.

Then, somewhat astonished and incredulous, he glanced deeply at Chen Fei, before swiftly stopping the about-to-errupt Blue Whale Elder and saying to Chen Fei, ”It’s a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding. Chief Chen, we two genuinely have no ill intentions in coming here, merely wishing to cure my old comrade of his poison...”

”Sorry, my abilities are limited, please seek someone else.”

Without hesitation, Chen Fei cut him off, coldly stating, ”Furthermore, my Enlightened Deity Cave doesn’t welcome you both, so I ask that you leave immediately. If you think my words are a joke, then you’ll have to bear the consequences.”

”Bear the consequences, bear the consequences? Fine, very well, do you really think you’re something...” The Blue Whale Elder, brimming with demon Qi, fumed with anger, glaring furiously with terrifying might.

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei’s eyes, dark as glass yet sharp, flashed coldly!

With a flick of his wrist, the milky white spiritual light pressed heavily into the depths of the earth.

Immediately, it was as though something deep underground reacted, the formation light flickered, releasing a terrifying aura. But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, in Taoist Cang Kun’s hand appeared a bamboo flickering with green light. Although the aura from the bamboo was gentle, upon seeing and sensing it, Chen Fei’s eyelids twitched, his pupils slightly contracting.

A top grade magic artifact!?

With a master at the peak of Second Level Late Stage Beast and a top grade magic artifact, even the Five-Layer Human Formation technique might struggle to restrain them!

After all, with his current cultivation level and formation mastery, he couldn’t fully unleash the power of the Five-Layer Human Formation technique.

However, in the next moment, just as Chen Fei’s mind was racing with panic, what happened next made him freeze, his jaw dropping in shock.

Bang!

For Taoist Cang Kun actually took out the top grade magic artifact bamboo not to attack Chen Fei, but to smash it fiercely into the Blue Whale Elder’s chest as he looked on in astonishment.

With a loud bang, the Blue Whale Elder was struck flying, slamming into the inner wall of the great hall, cracks spreading, stirring up a cloud of dust as the wall collapsed, filling the air with an ominous sound.

He was knocked flying, slammed into the wall of the great hall;

”What the hell...” Coming back to his senses, Chen Fei’s face was even more astonished, dumbfounded.

This, what’s going on? He couldn’t understand it.

”Cang Kun, what are you doing?” The Blue Whale Elder was also confused, shakily standing up from the rubble, blood at the corner of his mouth, looking at Taoist Cang Kun with disbelief, his pupils trembling slightly.

Seemingly unable to comprehend why his lifelong sworn brother would suddenly attack him like this.

”Blue Whale, have you forgotten what you promised me before coming? We came here today to seek help, not to behave unreasonably and show off like you’re doing!” But Taoist Cang Kun also looked stern, coldly stating as he looked at the Blue Whale Elder.

Hearing this, the Blue Whale Elder shuddered violently, but then furiously retorted, ”We came to seek help, but he!” He sharply pointed at Chen Fei.

”But he clearly has no skills, yet arrogantly claimed that the poison from the Thousand Cranes Demon isn’t a problem, this kind of person, what qualifications does he have for us to seek help from?” In his words, the distrust and scorn towards Chen Fei were evident.

Upon hearing this, a hint of coldness flickered in Chen Fei’s eyes, but was quickly replaced by a playful sympathy, slowly surfacing on his face.

Indeed, hateful people often have pitiable aspects.

As a healer, with a healer’s heart, he could understand the panic and unease of someone afflicted by ’incurable poison’.

In times like this, every passing moment brought him closer to death.

No one can ignore death! Who could possibly have such bravery?

Thus, in such a stage of despair, people will naturally become sensitive, emotionally disturbed, and even irrational...

But even so, if one can’t control oneself, if one doesn’t want to give their future a chance, a hope, a miracle, can they still expect others to help? Are they that naive?

At his age, he is no longer a child. He should have outgrown naivety.

Chen Fei has no obligation to pay for the other person’s life or future. As the saying goes, self-inflicted wounds are not worth living for.

”Skills are proven by actions, not words. If Chief Chen can really cure the Thousand Cranes Demon poison in you, then what right do you have to doubt him?” Taoist Cang Kun spoke coldly, his tone not very courteous.

Hearing these words, Chen Fei couldn’t help but chuckle slightly, because while it seemed like Taoist Cang Kun was confronting the Blue Whale Elder, in truth, he was just setting a trap for Chen Fei.

If he could indeed cure him of the Thousand Cranes Demon poison? Sorry, but I never intended to help him in the first place. Is his self-indulgence really so amusing?

”What right do I have to doubt him?”

The expression on the Blue Whale Elder’s face stiffened, his eyes flickering with complexity. After a long silence, he looked at Chen Fei coldly and said, ”If you can cure me of the Thousand Cranes Demon poison, I will take back my previous words and acknowledge your ability.”

Heh.

Chen Fei let out a scoffing laugh.

”I don’t need your acknowledgment, and I never intended to help you with the poison. I think you should stop being so self-indulgent and self-important.” Chen Fei shook his head, sneering dismissively. Does he need the acknowledgment of his medical skills? What a joke.

”What did you say!?” The Blue Whale Elder’s eyes bulged with a surge of rage, demon qi billowing around him, extremely menacing.

He didn’t expect Chen Fei to so cleanly and directly refuse him, and even accuse him of being self-indulgent and arrogant.

Yet, at the same time, besides that, he felt a twinge of regret and anxiety growing inside him.

If, if this young Chen Fei really had the ability to remove the Thousand Cranes Demon poison, wouldn’t his previous behavior be pushing away the one person who could help him?

Thinking about this, even the seasoned Blue Whale Elder felt a chill on his back, his heart turning cold.

But as they say, the older people get, the more they seem unable to let go of their pride and face.

Moreover, some older people seem to become even more timid, not just about saving face but even owning up to their previous mistakes, as if it’s an immense difficulty!

They’d rather walk a dark path than willingly lose face and admit their mistakes.

Then, he looked coldly at Chen Fei, his face devoid of expression, extremely icy, and said, ”Young man, some words may sound cliché, but I think it’s necessary to remind you. In this Cultivation World, strength reigns supreme, and a strong fist is the truth. Yet you dare to refuse me now, aren’t you afraid that I might take your life in a fit of rage?”

”In a fit of rage, take my life?”

Chen Fei’s expression remained calm, a faint sneer even appearing on the corner of his lips.

”If someone could really do such a thing, I should indeed be afraid. However...”

Chen Fei paused briefly, letting out a chuckle: ”However, are you saying you’re that kind of person?”

”What do you think?” The Blue Whale Elder’s eyes flashed with cold light, murderous intent surging.

Chen Fei grinned and said, ”Why don’t you try?” As the words fell, a source of indiscernible danger started to emerge slowly from within him.

In truth, he was no longer that angry. He just wanted to see the outcome of such self-indulgent and self-righteous behavior, facing the consequences only after hitting rock bottom.

Isn’t it intriguing to find out?

There’s always a pitiful side to the hateful. Chen Fei shook his head slightly.

The Blue Whale Elder’s face bore a chillingly dangerous expression, his demon qi raging with intensity, as he coldly said to Chen Fei one word at a time: ”Since that’s the case, I have no interest in saying more. If you’re seeking death, then I, the Blue Whale Elder, will fulfill your wish.”

Boom!

As the words fell, a punch, like splitting mountains and chopping the earth, full of boundless force and rolling demon qi, stood alone in midair. Everything around trembled and quaked, aiming directly at Chen Fei’s head mercilessly.

However, a shimmering green bamboo, as fast as lightning, blocked in front and met the punch, instantly scattering a terrifying impact, forcing the Blue Whale Elder’s fist to retreat.

”Blue Whale, I’ll say it one last time. If you continue this, from now on, we are irrevocably severed. You go your way, I go mine, and never meet again.” This time, Taoist Cang Kun spoke with a calm expression, seemingly not even intending to speak harshly.

Yet, this calmness caused a dramatic change in the Blue Whale Elder’s expression, making him panic.

After all, with so many years of understanding, how could he not hear the genuine finality in Taoist Cang Kun’s calm words?

”Cang Kun, don’t be angry. I’ll shut up... I’ll stop.” Immediately, he said anxiously without hesitation, halting his actions.

Seeing this, Chen Fei’s expression remained indifferent, quietly observing everything without saying a word.
