A journey through ancient times, a journey of exquisite divine skills

Chapter 244 Deputy Imperial Physician!

The group arrived outside the main hall in a short while and then dismounted.

The dozen or so guards outside the hall quickly ran forward to take the horse reins from their hands.

Qin Lingxing led Da Ya and the others into the hall quickly.

Qin Lingxing bowed first and said, "Reporting to the Spirit King, I have brought them here."

Daya, Xiaoyue, Shanzi, Xiaolie, and the other three bowed in unison to the Spirit King, who sat on the throne: "Greetings, Spirit King!"

King Ling raised his hand and said, "No need for formalities."

The crowd responded in unison, "Thank you, King Ling!"

The Spirit King's gaze swept over everyone one by one.

Then he asked, "Do you know why I have summoned you here so urgently?"

Shanzi stepped forward and said, "Sister Yang said that King Ling has something to ask us!"

King Ling nodded slightly: "Yes, I have summoned you here to ask you something."

Shanzi respectfully asked, "What is it that King Ling wants to ask?"

King Ling slowly said, "As you all know, a month ago, the earth dragon turned over, causing heavy casualties among the people in many parts of the Ling Kingdom."

The weather turned cooler a while ago due to heavy rain.

As a result, an epidemic broke out in Anxing County, and many people in Anxing County are now sick.

Just now, Imperial Physician Xu informed me that you also knew about this matter?

Shanzi was very puzzled when he heard what King Ling said.

He thought to himself, "Is that true? I don't recall ever hearing about it."

Before Shanzi could respond, Xiaoyue said, "It is true. Yesterday, Sister Daya and I happened to meet Physician Xu."

Physician Xu did mention it to the two of us at the time.

At that time, my sister and I had many patients in urgent need of treatment, and we were simply unable to spare the time.

Furthermore, Physician Xu stated that he was fully focused on preparing the prescription, so we didn't pay much attention to it.

King Ling's gaze swept over the crowd, and he asked in a deep voice, "This plague has come on fiercely and is spreading in various places. If it is not contained as soon as possible, it may trigger an even greater crisis."

Physician Xu and other doctors have done their utmost to prepare the prescriptions, but so far the results have been minimal.

"Your medical skills are truly remarkable. I would like to ask you, do you have any methods to deal with this plague?"

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances.

After a moment, Daya stepped forward and said respectfully, "King Ling, although we have some knowledge of medicine, we have not yet seen this plague, so we dare not make any judgments."

"We haven't identified the cause of the plague, so I'm afraid we can't offer any assistance and might even cause more trouble for Physician Xu and his team."

Upon hearing Da Ya's words, Hua Lingxing immediately stood up and said, "Da Ya, although Sister Yang's medical skills are not as good as yours..."

But don't forget, Sister Yang's martial arts skills come from the same lineage as yours!

Xiaoyue walked over to Yang Hualing's side in a few steps, affectionately hugged her arm, and said coquettishly, "Oh dear, Sister Yang, how could we possibly forget about this!"

Yang Hualing looked at Xiaoyue, who was acting coquettishly towards her, with eyes full of doting affection.

But he still gently tapped her forehead, signaling her not to be naughty.

"Sister Yang knows that your current cultivation levels are not high. Apart from Xiaoman and Xiaolie, who have reached the Lesser Yuan realm, you and Daya are the strongest."

"So, have you two sensed any signs of breaking through to a higher realm?"

Daya and Xiaoyue both shook their heads, indicating that they had no such signs.

Seeing this, Yang Hualing could only comfort her, saying, "Well, cultivation can't be rushed. Martial artists must follow the steps and cultivate steadily. They must not be impatient."

Although Sister Yang's skills are more advanced than yours, she is indeed inferior to you in terms of medical expertise.

However, Sister Yang knows that you have been traveling around saving lives during this time, and your medical skills must have improved rapidly.

Therefore, Sister Yang believes that you will definitely be able to properly resolve this epidemic!

Daya looked at Yang Hualing and the Spirit King and said, "Sister Yang, Spirit King, we would never dare to hide anything."

During this period, our medical skills have indeed improved, but the illnesses of those people outside the city are only within the scope of our knowledge.

If we were to formulate a new prescription, I'm afraid only Xiaoman among those present would be capable of it; the rest of us would likely be ill-equipped to handle it.

King Ling turned his gaze toward Xiaoman and said, "Su Zilong, I remember that you were the one who treated Su Ziyun's injuries back then."

Lin Yunjiao has praised you highly, and I have always believed her words without question.

Now that this plague is raging, are you confident that you can formulate a new medicine to combat it?

Before Xiaoman could react, she was dragged into the mess by the Spirit King and Daya.

He was completely bewildered, wondering how old he was. Although he was of marriageable age, he was the youngest among the ten of them.

He was filled with doubt, and he really couldn't understand what kind of courage made everyone think that he was capable of undertaking such an important task.

Seeing that Xiaoman had not responded for a long time, King Ling became suspicious and asked, "What? Are you unwilling to help me resolve this crisis?"

Xiaoman quickly explained, "King Ling, it's not that I'm unwilling, but my medical skills are almost the same as Sister Daya and Brother Shanzi's, so I'm afraid I'm not up to the task!"

King Ling feigned anger, deliberately putting on a stern face and saying, "So, you, Su Zilong, are unwilling to help me with this favor?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoman hurriedly waved her hands, saying, "No, no, King Ling, it's just that I'm really not sure if I can do this well."

King Ling, however, did not allow him to refuse, and said in a firm tone: "This matter is entrusted to you, and you cannot shirk your responsibility!"

As for the wounded outside the city, let Lin Yunjiao and the others treat them!

Xiaoman was speechless for a moment, her face full of helplessness.

When Shanzi, Xiaolie, and the others saw Xiaoman's aggrieved look, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.

Afu stepped forward, patted his shoulder lightly, and said with a smile, "Xiaoman, hurry up and thank the Spirit King!"

The older children, Da Ya, Shan Zi, Xiao Lie, and Xiao Yue, were able to hold back their laughter a little.

But Da Tou, Shi Zi, Shui Er, and Xiao He, who were younger, couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

The children's laughter amused the other ministers in the hall, who couldn't help but laugh along.

Hearing everyone's laughter, Xiaoman felt both embarrassed and annoyed. She could only glare fiercely at Datou, Shizi, and the other three with a dark face and snort, "You... humph..."

Xiaoman had no choice but to obediently accept the orders from King Ling, who sat on the throne.

"Alright, alright, I'll give it a try and see if I can prepare the prescription."

But I'm warning you beforehand, if I really can't match it, none of you can blame me!

Daya walked to Xiaoman's side and encouraged her, "Xiaoman, do you remember what Xiaoya told you?"

Of all of us, you're the one she thinks highly of.
