Chapter 1091

Such a great power—why would they want to hunt down the Divine Physician and his friend?

"Hey! You absolutely cannot tell anyone about this!"

The Divine Physician glanced around in a panic, as if the people of the Tianxia Society were still nearby.

"This junior certainly won't tell anyone.

But doesn't Your Excellency know that the Tianxia Society has already been destroyed?"

Hearing Gai Nie found it strange—could this Divine Physician have been in seclusion so long that he was completely cut off from the outside world and didn't know the Tianxia Society was already gone?

"The Tianxia Society is gone? Impossible!"

The Divine Physician shook his head vigorously the moment he heard it, like a rattle-drum.

"Impossible, it can't be!

Ouyang Batian is blessed by the Mandate of Heaven—who under heaven could defy the heavens and kill him?

With him alive, the Tianxia Society would never be destroyed!"

This Divine Physician, who had been living in seclusion deep in the mountains, actually had boundless confidence—perhaps even awe—in the Tianxia Society and Ouyang Batian.

Although Ouyang Batian was still alive now, the Tianxia Society truly no longer existed.

Hearing Gai Nie thought again—whether the Tianxia Society existed or not had nothing to do with his saving Miss Duanmu.

So he closed his mouth and said nothing more, no longer arguing with the Divine Physician.

After the Divine Physician had said "impossible" several times in a row, he saw that Hearing Gai Nie was silent, and couldn't help but glare at him and ask,

"What? You don't believe me?"

"How could I? Senior."

Hearing Gai Nie gave an awkward smile—he wasn't disbelieving, he just didn't know what to say.

"Fine, fine, you just don't believe me."

The Divine Physician's strange temper flared up again.

Hearing Gai Nie didn't know whether to laugh or cry, not knowing what to do.

Then the Divine Physician suddenly said again,

"I said Ouyang Batian is blessed by the Mandate of Heaven because my friend went against the heavens and used the Fate Golden Plate to cast his fate.

So that all of Yunzhou's destiny rests upon him.

With such destiny upon him, who could possibly kill him?"

"Perhaps the Grand Dragon Head could?"

This thought suddenly flashed through Hearing Gai Nie's mind.

Fortunately, he had already come to understand the Divine Physician's strange temper, so naturally he wouldn't say it out loud.

Listening to the Divine Physician's words, he suddenly realized and said,

"Huh? Senior, the friend you mentioned—could it be the Mud Bodhisattva?"

"Hey! You're really clever—it's that old fellow!"

The Divine Physician was overjoyed, and even patted Hearing Gai Nie on the head with an admiring look.

"So you're actually a friend of the Mud Bodhisattva…"

Hearing Gai Nie was utterly shocked.

The Mud Bodhisattva seemed to be on par with Yuan Shoucheng of the Great Tang and the Living Buddha Lotus of the Great Yuan.

But in Hearing Gai Nie's heart, he truly felt that the Mud Bodhisattva's art of divining fate was actually above those two.

After all, a single pronouncement had let Ouyang Batian leap through the dragon gate.

So much so that the Tianxia Society rose to its peak, invincible even in Yunzhou where the strong gathered like clouds.

All of this could be said to be inseparably tied to the Mud Bodhisattva.

"What? I'm not worthy of that pustule-faced old thing?"

Hearing Hearing Gai Nie's tone, the Divine Physician couldn't help but ask somewhat displeased.

Hearing Gai Nie had never met the Mud Bodhisattva, so naturally he didn't know what the Divine Physician was talking about.

But he already knew the Divine Physician had a child's temperament, so he coaxed him at once,

"Not at all, not at all—I only thought that the Mud Bodhisattva having a friend like the Divine Physician Senior is the greatest fortune of his life!"

Even when facing Hearing Ying Zheng, Hearing Gai Nie rarely offered flattery.

Now, for the sake of Miss Duanmu, he was coaxing the child-tempered Divine Physician.

"Of course—my medical skill is divine, and all the world respects me.

That old charlatan being able to count me as a friend is his good fortune!"

Hearing Hearing Gai Nie's flattery, the Divine Physician held his head high with a self-satisfied look.

But after a while, the Divine Physician's face fell again, and he said,

"What a pity, though—no one knows where that old charlatan has run off to."

"Mud Bodhisattva Senior's learning reaches the heavens, his abilities are unfathomable even to ghosts and gods.

And with a great man like Senior as his friend, he'll naturally turn misfortune into blessing and disaster into good fortune."

Hearing Gai Nie saw the Divine Physician's worry and couldn't help but offer some comfort.

"I hope he's alright! Otherwise, even if Miss Rong were an immortal descended to earth, she wouldn't be able to save him."

The Divine Physician shook his head and swayed, sighing again and again.

Hearing Gai Nie's heart gave an involuntary lurch at this.

What did the Divine Physician Senior mean by that?

Didn't he know about that strange flower that could save Miss Duanmu?

Why do you say that, then?

Besides, what the Divine Physician said is actually somewhat biased.

At the very least, Gai Nie knows there is one other place in the world that might be able to save Duanmu Rong.

That would be the Qinglong Society!

Earlier, the eldest Imperial Prince Fusu and Master Xiaomeng returned from the Azure Dragon Peak and described all manner of things they had seen and heard there.

Among them was the Elixir Pavilion, which housed countless rare pills of the world.

For example, the Wuhen Revival Pill — so long as a single breath remained, even the gravest injury could be healed.

Only, Gai Nie is no longer the chief swordsman of the Daqin court; even if he were, it would likely be very difficult to obtain even a single one of these miraculous pills from the Qinglong Society.

After all, the Wuhen Revival Pill was once bestowed as a reward by the Heavenly Dao itself — one can see just how precious it is.

"Don't you understand why I say it this way?"

Before Gai Nie could ask, the Divine Physician spoke again.

"Mm! Senior, please enlighten me."

Gai Nie had always only known the Mud Bodhisattva to be a divine being who divined fates and discerned the workings of Heaven.

How was it that, according to the Divine Physician, the Mud Bodhisattva was also a master of the medical Dao?

"To save little Rong, we absolutely need that Nine Springs Green Blood Jade-Leaf Flower!

This flower is exceedingly rare; had I not seen it myself, I would have thought it did not exist in this world."

To everyone's surprise, the Divine Physician directly spoke the name of this wondrous flower.

Moreover, when mentioning this Nine Springs Green Blood Jade-Leaf Flower, a look of longing filled his eyes.

Clearly, this wondrous flower filled him with deep nostalgia.

"The Nine Springs Green Blood Jade-Leaf Flower?"

Hearing the name of the wondrous flower, Gai Nie felt as though a great weight had been lifted from his heart.

At worst, he would secretly use a secret method to contact Ying Zheng.

No matter what, he had to entreat Daqin to find this wondrous flower for him.

In any case, Daqin had countless extraordinary talents, and its intelligence network across the realm was second only to the Qinglong Society's.

Gai Nie truly did not believe Daqin would be unable to find this wondrous flower.

"Exactly!"

The Divine Physician saw the relieved expression on Gai Nie's face and could not help but smile as he said,

"Are you thinking of going to Qin Huang Ying Zheng for help?"
