Extraordinary Medical Saint in the City-Chapter 1017 - 1015: I’m Going! Why Not Go!

At the same time.

Lin Fan and Diwu Yun'er were already almost at the exit of the main city.

"Lin Fan, where are you going?! Wait for me!"

Diwu Yun'er didn't know where Lin Fan was headed, but seeing him turn and leave just now, she took it upon herself to follow.

She didn't expect Lin Fan to actually be leaving the city!

Lin Fan moved hurriedly, saying nothing. He charged forward with his head down, as if he hadn't heard Diwu Yuner's words.

Diwu Yun'er was a bit upset, as Lin Fan had been wearing a stern face since a while ago, ignoring her as if she were an annoyance.

She also recalled the scene of Lin Fan and Mo Ningxiang embracing on the bed, which made her even more envious and irritated.

Men are all pigs!

In a few steps, she caught up with Lin Fan, spreading her arms wide and with a face full of anger, blocking his path.

"I'm talking to you! Why are you ignoring me?!"

Diwu Yun'er pursed her cherry-red lips, her brows furrowing slightly, her eyes trembling.

Due to her effort to keep up with Lin Fan's pace, her little face was flushed, her white, slender neck covered in sweat droplets.

Lin Fan paused, stopping his steps.

"What's wrong, Yun'er?"

His mind wasn't on Diwu Yun'er; he was just drawn by her beauty.

He was solely thinking about the clan leader's wife's illness.

"Where exactly are you going?! Why did you leave without a word? If I hadn't noticed and followed in time, would you have left me behind too?" Diwu Yun'er was a bit aggrieved, her eyes misting over.

"No, no... I didn't mean to leave you behind..." Lin Fan became flustered, quickly waving his hands.

"I just spoke up for you, and Mo Yunsheng doesn't know what trick he'll play against me. You just walked away, leaving me to deal with Mo Yunsheng alone?"

"No... I really didn't mean it... I..."

Lin Fan was at a loss for words. It was indeed his fault for not bidding farewell to everyone, especially Diwu Yun'er.

But he did have more important matters to attend to.

Concerning Su Qiong.

And concerning himself.

"Then tell me, what are you going to do?! No matter what it is, I'll go with you!"

Diwu Yun'er spoke first, not giving Lin Fan any chance to refuse.

Lin Fan looked at her bright eyes and determined expression, letting out a long sigh.

"Let's talk as we walk."

The two walked side by side, out of the city gates, heading southeast.

...

"You're saying Yi Tianqiu's method won't work?" Diwu Yun'er blinked her big eyes, looking confused. "But when you left... Yi Tianqiu hadn't even given a treatment plan yet, how do you know it won't work?"

Lin Fan smiled slightly, full of confidence: "No need to hear him out. From the moment he walked in, I knew he couldn't cure the lady."

"Why?"

"This person is extremely arrogant, holding his talents in high esteem. He probably doesn't have much understanding of the lady's illness and came running at the chance."

"Isn't he sent by the Shennong Clan?"

"That's what they say, but I suspect he volunteered. The Shennong Clan seldom treats other ancient clans for ailments; they generally don't like socializing, let alone being concerned with life and death affairs of other clans. Why would they suddenly care about the illness of the third-ranked ancient clan, the Xuan Clan's clan leader's wife? And if they were willing, they should have sent someone a decade ago, not waited until now."

"You have a point... but he..."

"The moment the lady's sickroom door opened, did you feel the aura and spiritual energy inside?" Lin Fan interrupted Diwu Yun'er, asking back.

"I sensed something."

Lin Fan's lips curved up, his gaze sharp.

"Yi Tianqiu should have sensed it too; this aura is unusual and significantly different from ordinary symptoms. I suspect his treatment method is simply to increase the dosage, using the clan leader Mo Chen's commonly used Ninth Grade Elixir—Soul Condensing Pill."

"Soul Condensing Pill... Soul Condensing Pill is a good thing!"

She very well knew the terrifying energy needed to refine a Soul Condensing Pill, and also its significant impact on patients.

"It's indeed good, but sadly, the Soul Condensing Pill has little effect on the lady. Even with intense medication, it has no effect." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

As Lin Fan said this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he quickened his pace.

"There is only one rare herb that can save the lady."

"What is it?"

"Heart-eating Vine."

"This is..."

"It grows in deep mountains and dense forests, on sheer cliffs and precipitous crags; it's extremely hard to find. Finding such a thing is as difficult as reaching the cultivation realm of an Upper Heavenly Venerate."

"Huh?! That's way too hard..."

An Upper Heavenly Venerate... even Mo Chen was only a Middle Heavenly Venerate! In Diwu Yun'er's concept, reaching Lower Heavenly Venerate was already like ascending to the heavens, but an Upper Heavenly Venerate... isn't that even harder than climbing to the heavens?!

Moreover, this implies that strength alone is not enough; luck is also needed.

Luck might play a bigger part.

While strength can be managed, luck is uncontrollable.

Diwu Yun'er swallowed hard; though she didn't know of such a herb, hearing Lin Fan speak this way made her feel discouraged.

"Lin Fan, are we really going to look for it?"

"Yes."

Lin Fan answered without hesitation.

For Su Qiong!

He must go.

If he could cure the clan leader's wife, perhaps Su Qiong could leave with him.

Lin Fan understood; at his current stage, he wasn't a match for Mo Yunsheng yet.

The last battle in the grand hall had revealed the vast gap in their abilities, like a chasm between the heavens and earth.

Even if he advanced to the Third Rank Saint Emperor, he still had no assurance or success.

Rashly initiating a challenge could risk his life and might not even guarantee Su Qiong's safety.

Mo Yunsheng, when driven mad, could do unpredictable things.

Lin Fan could only find another way, and healing the clan leader's wife was the best plan he could think of.

When the time comes, he would be the savior of the clan leader's wife!

Bringing along someone should not be an excessive request, right?

"Lin Fan, what are you grinning about?"

"Noth—nothing... let's go..."

"Do you think Yi Tianqiu doesn't know about the Heart-eating Vine?"

"Of course he knows."

"Then why doesn't he find the Heart-eating Vine for the lady's treatment?"

"Hmph." Lin Fan chuckled twice. "This thing is not easy to find; someone as proud as Yi Tianqiu would never risk his life for the life of another clan. Soul Condensing Pills do work, but they are like a double-edged sword; if used well, they can cut through iron as if it were mud, but if not, they can harm the user."

Lin Fan suddenly noticed Diwu Yun'er had disappeared.

He stopped in shock, quickly turning around.

He saw Diwu Yun'er standing there dumbfounded, her pupils dilated.

Half of what Lin Fan said just now, she hadn't listened to at all.

"Lin Fan... are you saying... we might face life-threatening danger? We could... die?" she asked weakly, cautiously.

Lin Fan nodded gravely.

"Yes. So I told you not to follow. I'll have to split my focus to protect you. "

"You think I'm a burden?!" Diwu Yun'er suddenly changed her tone, raising her voice.

"No... not... then... you want to go?"

Diwu Yun'er stared at Lin Fan blankly.

One breath.

Two breaths.

"Go! Why not go!"

At least, she could still be with Lin Fan.
