10: I am a kind-hearted doctor in Tianyi Palace. I can give you credit.
“Don’t get agitated, calm down, you won’t die.”
Lin Dingchang examined Xiao Yan’s condition, but couldn’t find the source of his symptoms.
This was the first time he had encountered such a rootless illness; if it were an enemy’s poison or ambush, traces could be found.
But Xiao Yan’s condition, in particular, seemed to come from nowhere.
Xiao Yan, hearing Lin Dingchang, couldn’t help but spit out blood again.
It’s easy for you to say when you’re not the one suffering; how can I not be agitated?
“Blood and qi failing, internal organs vibrating and damaged, Meridians broken, and severe heart pain… This seems a bit like…” Lin Dingchang stroked his chin, a thought already forming.
But just then, another patient stumbled into Tianyi Hall.
“El… Elder, help!”
The newcomer was supported by two maids, and upon closer inspection, the young man being supported was also a Quasi-Saint Child, his face deathly pale.
Looking at his condition, he wasn’t much better than Xiao Yan inside the hall!
Lin Dingchang was surprised to see the newcomer: “Another Quasi-Saint Child?”
This new patient was none other than Su Yichen, the perennial second-place who had previously threatened Chu Ying!
“Elder, our Young Master is Quasi-Saint Child number two; please save him quickly,” Su Yichen’s maid pleaded.
Lin Dingchang raised an eyebrow; this was a more significant patient.
“Bring him over.”
Soon, Su Yichen was carried over and placed next to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan, enduring intense pain, widened his eyes like copper bells when he saw Su Yichen.
“Hmm, your symptoms… why are they so similar to his, even identical?” Lin Dingchang was astonished after examining Su Yichen’s internal condition.
“What?!” Su Yichen struggled to open his eyes and was equally shocked to find Xiao Yan lying beside him.
“Both of your symptoms are exactly the same, which gives this old man a potential idea.”
Elder Lin stroked his beard and mused:
“Have both of you cultivated certain Techniques and Martial Skills with extreme backlashes?”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and immediately shook his head in refutation: “Pfft!! Elder, please be clear, I have never cultivated such a thing!”
Su Yichen couldn’t help but retort sharply: “Elder, don’t talk nonsense. I am Quasi-Saint Child number two, a person who will soon be established as a Holy Son. Why would I Cultivate Techniques and Martial Skills with backlashes?”
Lin Dingchang was unconcerned by his agitated mood and continued: “But both of your conditions clearly result from cultivating certain Techniques and Martial Skills with severe side effects, and not just one, but a combination of several.”
“If I’m not mistaken, your current cultivation has been greatly affected, and your existing cultivation might even be lost.”
“What?”
Xiao Yan and Su Yichen were both stunned.
They clearly hadn't cultivated anything new; they had just cultivated as usual, and then suddenly suffered.
They even thought they had been poisoned or ambushed, but taking healing pills was useless, and the unbearable pain eventually led them to Tianyi Hall.
Who knew they would receive such a diagnosis?
“Elder Lin, please save me! I am a Quasi-Saint Child, a prodigy of the Holy Land! I cannot lose my cultivation!”
Xiao Yan immediately pleaded.
He clutched his chest, struggling to sit up.
“Don’t move around. I naturally won’t watch you fall in Realm,” Lin Dingchang quickly stopped him.
“According to your statements, you haven’t cultivated such Techniques and Martial Skills, so these rootless symptoms are indeed hard to explain. However, there is a way to resolve them.”
Lin Dingchang smiled slightly: “Have you heard of the Rejuvenating Spring Pill?”
Upon hearing the name of the pill, Xiao Yan and Su Yichen’s pupils constricted.
“The Rejuvenating Spring Pill is a top-grade Profound Pill, capable of healing all injuries below the Soul Palace Realm. Although your injuries are severe, one Rejuvenating Spring Pill is enough to resolve them.”
“A Rejuvenating Spring Pill costs 30,000 contribution points at my Tianyi Hall.”
“How about it, do you want one?”
The smile on Lin Dingchang’s face gradually filled with the meaning of a merchant seeking profit.
“Elder Lin, are you serious? How can I possibly afford 30,000 contribution points?” Xiao Yan’s face was filled with bitterness.
He had basically used all his contribution points to exchange for cultivation resources.
Moreover, the total number of contribution points he had accumulated was less than 30,000!
“Elder Lin, is there no other way?” Su Yichen couldn’t help but ask.
30,000 contribution points, that was practically asking for his life.
“If you can’t pay now, you can owe it first. You can pay it back when you earn it, after all, my Tianyi Hall practices benevolent medicine,” Lin Dingchang said, stroking his beard.
Both of their faces twitched wildly.
Does this ‘benevolent medicine’ even connect with your Tianyi Hall?!
“If you are unwilling, then I can do nothing. Although Tianyi Hall bears the responsibility of saving lives and helping the injured within the Holy Land, it also requires costs, so it’s impossible to treat you for free.”
Lin Dingchang’s expression slightly hardened.
“However, if your condition continues to drag on, your cultivation might…”
He hadn't finished his sentence.
Xiao Yan and Su Yichen’s cultivation auras had already begun to drop!
Among them, Su Yichen’s Realm was Cave Heaven Realm First Level, and it dropped to Spirit Sea Realm Ninth Level!
And Xiao Yan’s dropped to Spirit Sea Realm Eighth Level!
In fact, their cultivation had been slowly dropping since these symptoms first appeared, but at that time, their minds were drawn by the internal injuries and severe heart pain, leaving them no time to notice.
Now that their continuously declining cultivation had officially dropped a Realm, both of them immediately panicked.
“Buy! I’ll buy a Rejuvenating Spring Pill! I’ll owe it!” Su Yichen said anxiously, despite the unbearable pain, “Elder, if I take this pill, can my cultivation recover?”
“Naturally,” Lin Dingchang nodded with a smile.
“I’ll buy one too! Elder, please give me one!”
Seeing that Su Yichen had spoken, Xiao Yan naturally no longer hesitated. Wasn’t it just 30,000 contribution points? It wasn’t like he couldn’t pay it back slowly.
But this drop in cultivation was a top priority, and the Holy Son position competition was in a few days!
If his cultivation didn't increase but instead decreased, what Holy Son would he even be competing for?!
“Hehe, this is a wise choice you’ve made.”
Lin Dingchang took out two Rejuvenating Spring Pills and gave them to the two to consume.
After taking the pills, all the symptoms in their bodies indeed disappeared. Their internal organs were repaired, Meridians restored, heart pain gone, and their cultivation aura rapidly rose, returning to their original Realms.
“If this were at the Pill Refining Hall, the price for one Rejuvenating Spring Pill would be 35,000 contribution points, and no credit would be given.”
“But my Tianyi Hall has always upheld the principle of benevolent medicine, with lower prices and the option of credit.”
Lin Dingchang looked at the two with a beaming smile.
He was just worrying about his performance.
As an Elder of Tianyi Hall, he also needed to earn contribution points besides cultivating, as he needed resources too, not to mention the Holy Land’s assessments.
If his performance assessment wasn’t up to par, his Tianyi Hall would have to close down.
Su Yichen and Xiao Yan’s expressions were extremely grim.
No matter how much ‘benevolent medicine’ was practiced, they still owed 30,000 contribution points, right? They didn't know how many missions they would have to take to pay it off.
But both of them still thanked him and prepared to leave.
However, they saw two figures outside Tianyi Hall, carrying a person and rushing over.
“Elder of Tianyi Hall, please save our Young Master!”
