Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1128: Chapter 188: Di Shen’s Idea

Ye Lingyue left the Heaven and Earth Array, her mind full of concerns.

Along the way, she repeatedly thought about how to protect the Earth Evil Prison and at the same time defeat the opponent.

When she returned to the Old City Lord’s residence, Ye Lingyue took a glance at the Old City Lord.

She found that he was still the same as usual, leaning against the chair, not saying a word.

Ye Lingyue did not ask much, sat down, and casually picked up the spiritual pattern she had carved earlier.

But as she examined the spiritual pattern engraved on the wood, a peculiar light flashed in her eyes.

The spiritual pattern carved on the wood had changed!

Although very subtle, if it were someone else, they might not have noticed it at all, but with Ye Lingyue’s keen eyes, she spotted it immediately.

Previously, she had carved the spiritual pattern casually, so it was somewhat crude, but the current spiritual pattern was much more refined.

Shocked, Ye Lingyue stood up and quickly called for Si Xiaochun and the Huangquan City Lord.

”The Old City Lord has reacted.”

Huangquan City Lord and Si Xiaochun were both taken aback and looked at the Old City Lord again.

He seemed exactly the same as usual.

”Ling Yue, are you sure you’re not mistaken? The Old City Lord looks exactly the same as before.”

Si Xiaochun said puzzled.

”Just watch.”

Ye Lingyue took out some papers with spiritual patterns. When the Old City Lord saw those spiritual patterns, his originally dazed eyes suddenly moved.

His eyes became much clearer for a moment.

But when Ye Lingyue put away the spiritual patterns, the Old City Lord’s gaze returned to its original state.

”There was a reaction! Father, do you recognize your daughter?”

Si Yun was extremely excited and couldn’t help but grab the Old City Lord’s arm, but the only response she got was the Old City Lord’s indifferent disregard.

”City Lord, don’t hurry. The Old City Lord’s illness has lingered for years. He’s only just started recovering. We need time and patience.”

Ye Lingyue’s first step of treatment had already shown initial results.

She thought for a moment and decided to proceed with her second step of treatment.

”City Lord, the Old City Lord has reacted to things that interest him, which is a good thing, but such stimuli are far from enough to completely restore him. Could you help find those who participated in the last novice project with You Ta? I think something must have happened during that novice project, and only by understanding the truth can we cure the Old City Lord’s illness.”

Ye Lingyue decided to administer a strong dose.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Si Yun and Si Xiaochun both looked embarrassed.

After a long while, Si Yun sighed.

”That novice project was the most brutal in the history of Huangquan City. Almost all the novices who participated in that training were wiped out. The only one who survived returned with a damaged mind and body, gave up becoming a formal Demon Hunter, and disappeared after leaving the City Lord’s Mansion.”

The martial artists or alchemists who were carefully selected from the Jiu Provinces Continent and came to the Ancient Nine Provinces were undoubtedly the elite of their sects.

But even among these people, only a few became official Demon Hunters. Most of them became nameless white bones, without even a corpse collector, and some fell into despair, unable to return to their sects and families, living like ants on the Ancient Nine Provinces Continent.

”No matter what, we must find that person. He might be the only one who can help the Old City Lord... Also, from what you said, I think that person might be suffering from the same illness as the Old City Lord.”

Under Ye Lingyue’s persistent urging, Si Yun reluctantly agreed to try to find out the whereabouts of the novice.

Earlier, Si Yun had doubts about Ye Lingyue’s ability to treat her father, but recently, seeing the changes in her father nearly filled her heart that was close to despair with new hope.

Ye Lingyue also promised that whenever Si Yun found that person’s whereabouts, she would start the second phase of treatment.

That night, Ye Lingyue communicated with Di Shen using the Phoenix Token as usual.

”Wife, why does your voice sound heavy? Are you encountering any problems with the treatment?”

Di Shen sensed that something was off with Ye Lingyue’s voice.

Though he was a man, his concern for his wife was as meticulous as a needle and awl.

”Di Shen, have you ever tried fighting someone whose strength is clearly higher and has more battle experience than you?”

Ye Lingyue sat on the bed, thinking about the duel at noon tomorrow, and felt worried.

”Wife, who’s bullying you?”

Di Shen’s voice rose a few notches as he heard this.

”It’s not bullying, just a regular spar, but I cannot afford to lose this sparring match. However, I can’t think of a way to win.”

The opponent was a Divine Master of the Divine Realm. Even if he suppressed his strength for appearances, he was known as an invincible powerhouse in the Divine Realm, and she really didn’t have much chance of winning this time.

Ye Lingyue no longer had the Golden Seed in hand. If she lost, it would mean handing over the Cauldron Spirit.

”I see, fighting a stronger opponent with more experience is indeed challenging. The chances of winning may not be high, but the possibility of not losing is still there,” Di Shen said after a brief thought, confidently.

In fact, these days, Di Shen was facing such a situation in Wuling City.

Since he offended Zhang Quan earlier, during the basic novice training, Zhang Quan, that guy who held grudges more than a wife, picked on him for no reason and gave him a rough lesson. (Zhang Quan pouted, feeling wronged; it was the City Lord who asked me to look after you, I am innocent)

After being mildly bullied by Zhang Quan a few times, Di Shen became angry.

After figuring out Zhang Quan’s martial arts techniques, he came up with a way to defeat him, and after just two matches, he managed to tie with Zhang Quan.

This incident was now spreading widely in Wuling City.

He then shared with Ye Lingyue how he defeated Zhang Quan.

”Qiankun Hand? What kind of martial arts is that?”

Ye Lingyue asked with interest upon hearing there was indeed a way.

”That’s just a name I came up with. To put it plainly, it’s not some exceptional cultivation technique, just a method of fighting with both hands. The left hand uses one type of martial art, and the right hand uses another. Combined on the enemy, it’s like two people attacking, making it difficult for the enemy to cope.”

Di Shen had this idea of the Qiankun Hand when he was waiting for news from Ye Lingyue, and after mulling over it for a bit, he really managed to develop it.

During his match against Zhang Quan, he right-handedly used the male sword Nine Dragon Roar, and on his left, the Star-picking Moon-clutching Palm of the Lonely Moon Sea, leaving Zhang Quan no time to counter.

”Using a different martial art in each hand?”
