Because they had taken the Body-Sculpting Soup to repair their physical bodies and the Ice Spirit Powder to clear fire toxins, the vast majority of the wounded could walk on their own. Consequently, long queues of people seeking medical treatment formed in front of each medicine stall.

In front of the Danyuan Peak medicine stall, after Hua Changxi had treated over a dozen patients, she discovered that having mortals and cultivators mixed together greatly affected the speed of diagnosis and treatment. She had Yu Fu and Zhou Shou set up four signs in front of the stall, dividing the patients into four categories.

Mortals, Qi Refining cultivators, Qi Sea cultivators, and Golden Core cultivators.

Afterward, the queues for medical help in front of the Danyuan Peak medicine stall were divided into four lines.

For treating mortals, ordinary apprentices who understood medicine were sufficient; for treating Qi Refining cultivators, it was mostly first-grade and second-grade alchemists from Danyuan Peak; for treating Qi Sea cultivators, Hua Changxi directly assigned Ye Lingxuan, Jiang He, and other successors of the Pill Saint Hall to be responsible.

As for Hua Changxi herself, she was solely responsible for treating the Golden Core cultivator queue, only calling two apprentices over to help her write medical records and prescriptions.

Seeing Danyuan Peak conduct their triage this way, not only did the order of the queues improve, but the speed of treatment also increased significantly, and others began to follow suit.

Because Danyuan Peak had relied solely on Hua Changxi to support it since its inception, although the development and operation of the Danyuan Secret Realm had now entered the right track, Danyuan Peak hadn't accumulated much capital after all.

For one thing, the variety of pills stored in the Danyuan Peak warehouse was limited. After Danyuan Peak disciples diagnosed the patients, most could not directly give them medicine, but had to write prescriptions and refine the medicine on the spot.

Because of this, the speed of diagnosis and treatment slowed down significantly.

Although Hua Changxi was fast at refining pills and medicine, she was only one person; if she had to treat patients, she couldn't refine pills and medicine.

She was treating Golden Core cultivators, and the only Danyuan Peak disciples who could refine third-grade pills were Ye Lingxuan and Jiang He. They were responsible for the Qi Sea cultivator queue, so she couldn't very well call them over to be her assistants.

As a result, she could only stop after treating one patient to refine the pills needed for that patient, and then treat the next one.

For the first three days, this method of treatment was indeed very slow. But later on, although the injuries of the patients varied by individual, most could be categorized and grouped. Often, refining one type of pill could save a dozen people.

Slowly, Hua Changxi's treatment speed picked up.

【Look, Listen, Ask, and Feel Technique (Great Success): Diagnosis 138/1000】

As she continuously treated patients, warm currents would occasionally flow through Hua Changxi's eye sockets, making her eyes brighter and brighter. Slowly, the dantian Qi Sea she could see became clearer and clearer.

Previously, she could only vaguely see the general situation of the dantian Qi Sea; now, she could clearly see the boundaries of the dantian, whether the spiritual energy in the Qi Sea was impure, whether spiritual artifacts were being nurtured, and so on.

Because she could see the situation inside the Qi Sea clearly, she was able to suppress the demonic energy within the patients faster and more accurately, leading to an increasing number of patients treated each day.

【Look, Listen, Ask, and Feel Technique (Perfected): Diagnosis 1001/】

A few days later, the number of cultivators Hua Changxi had treated using the Look, Listen, Ask, and Feel Technique exceeded one thousand, and her eye sockets were suddenly wrapped in warm currents.

Feeling the warm currents becoming increasingly scorching, and her eyes even starting to ache, Hua Changxi stopped her treatment and said to the patients in line: "I need to go rest for a while; you all should go seek medical help elsewhere."

After saying this, she got up and went to the tent Yu Fu had set up for her.

Once inside the tent, Hua Changxi set up an isolation array, took out a stone bed made of fire spirit stones, and lay down on it, carefully feeling her increasingly painful eyes.

Previously, when the Look, Listen, Ask, and Feel Technique reached Entry, Small Success, and Great Success, the warm currents hadn't lasted long, and there hadn't been any abnormalities in her eyes, but this time the reaction was quite significant.

Her eyes were getting hotter and hotter, and the stinging pain was becoming more and more obvious. Hua Changxi knew this was the warm current tempering her eyes, so she wasn't too worried. After relaxing her body, she let the warm current wash over her eyeballs.

At the same time, the physicians and alchemists at the other medicine stalls outside the tent breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Hua Changxi had finally gone to rest.

During this period, Hua Changxi had been immersed in the improvement of the Look, Listen, Ask, and Feel Technique and hadn't noticed at all that because her treatment speed was fast, some patients from other stalls had switched to her side.

Once this happened, it immediately made the heads of the other medicine stalls unhappy.

Consequently, the people at the other stalls held their breath and secretly competed with Danyuan Peak.

Danyuan Peak treated patients day and night without stopping, and the other stalls did the same.

Under these circumstances, the number of patients treated went up, but the physicians and alchemists were exhausted.

Now, seeing Hua Changxi go to rest, the people at the other stalls all felt they should be able to take a break as well.

Inside the tent, Hua Changxi's eyes stung for nearly an hour before the temperature of the warm current began to gradually decrease.

Only when her eyes felt completely normal did she open them.

Putting away the stone bed and the isolation array, Hua Changxi walked quickly out of the tent, eager to see the effects her eyes could achieve after the improvement of the Look, Listen, Ask, and Feel Technique.

However, she was disappointed.

Hua Changxi stood in front of the Danyuan Peak medicine stall and activated the Look, Listen, Ask, and Feel Technique, only to find that, apart from being able to see the cultivators' dantians in full view, her "eyesight" seemed to have no significant difference from before.

"How did Hua Changxi finish resting so quickly?"

The people at the other medicine stalls didn't look very good when they saw Hua Changxi.

At the Qingyao Peak medicine stall, Xia Zhen looked at Meng Qingyao, who was silently treating patients, with his brows knitted.

Hua Changxi's treatment speed was too fast; with her there, Qingyao and the other medical staff were completely overshadowed.

Xia Zhen hesitated for a moment, then called Xia Ziyang over and whispered: "Make a trip to the Demon-Suppressing Army and tell Chu Junling that Hua Changxi's medical skills are brilliant and she can treat Nascent Soul cultivators."

Xia Ziyang was stunned: "The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Demon-Suppressing Army have all gone to stabilize the spiritual energy barrier; I haven't seen anyone injured."

Xia Zhen sneered: "It's not the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Demon-Suppressing Army."

Hearing this, Xia Ziyang thought of something, and his expression couldn't help but change: "Is it those who destroyed the Lake Mountain Array of the Tool Saint Palace?"

Xia Zhen glanced at Xia Ziyang: "Don't ask about things you shouldn't; just tell Chu Junling what I said."

Xia Ziyang didn't ask further, took a look at the Danyuan Peak medicine stall, and walked quickly toward the Demon-Suppressing Army camp.

Not long after, just as Hua Changxi was feeling disappointed that the improvement of the Look, Listen, Ask, and Feel Technique hadn't made her "eyesight" stronger, a middle-aged general wearing Demon-Suppressing Army armor with an unstable aura walked over.

"Peak Master Hua!"

Hua Changxi hadn't deactivated the Look, Listen, Ask, and Feel Technique. Hearing the voice, she turned her head to look. The moment she saw the person, five-colored spiritual light flashed in the depths of her pupils.

In an instant, the Nascent Soul above the middle-aged general's dantian Qi Sea was fully revealed to her, in plain sight.

A sense of excitement surged in Hua Changxi's eyes; she seemed to know which aspect of "eyesight" the improvement of the Look, Listen, Ask, and Feel Technique had enhanced.

The entry level of the Look, Listen, Ask, and Feel Technique, the first layer, makes one's "eyesight" observe the minute details, even allowing one to perceive the breathing of the skin.

Upon reaching the small success level, the second layer, one's "eyesight" directly gains the ability to scan and see through the physical body, allowing one to observe spiritual roots, the amount of spiritual energy stored within them, and whether the spiritual energy is impure.

Then, upon reaching the great success level, the third layer, the situation of a cultivator's dantian Qi Sea and spiritual platform consciousness sea can be "seen."

Now, with the Look, Listen, Ask, and Feel Technique perfected, the fourth layer, the Nascent Soul above the dantian Qi Sea and the Primordial Spirit above the spiritual platform consciousness sea have nowhere to hide.

If the second layer of the Look, Listen, Ask, and Feel Technique is a perspective of the physical body, then the fourth layer is a perspective of the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Primordial Spirit.

At this moment, in Hua Changxi's eyes, the middle-aged general's Nascent Soul was fully revealed, down to the finest detail. She could clearly see that the surface of his Nascent Soul was bound by a wisp of black gas.

Based on the previous improvement pattern of the Look, Listen, Ask, and Feel Technique, Hua Changxi knew that since she could only see the surface condition of the Nascent Soul now, as long as the number of cultivators she treated continued to increase, she would also be able to "see through" the internal condition of the Nascent Soul.

Seeing Hua Changxi staring at him without saying a word, the middle-aged general spoke again to break the silence: "Peak Master Hua, Danyuan Peak treats Qi Refining, Qi Sea, and Golden Core cultivators, but has left out Nascent Soul cultivators. Why is that?"

In Hua Changxi's view, Nascent Soul cultivators were powerful and were all people with the ability to save themselves, so she had directly excluded Nascent Soul patients.

If this middle-aged general had stood out to question her before, Hua Changxi would certainly have retorted. But now, wanting to verify her "eyesight" and accumulate practical experience, she smiled and said: "I thought Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn't get injured."

The middle-aged general: "..."

Hua Changxi smiled at him: "Fellow Daoist, are you injured? Come over and sit down; I'll diagnose you."

The middle-aged general stood still: "I ask Peak Master Hua to move to the Demon-Suppressing Army camp; I have several colleagues with serious injuries."
