Miracle Doctor, What a Miracle Doctor

Xu Mu first glanced at Qin Qiaoqiao, having a rough idea of what Huang Min wanted from him.

It was for treatment.

However, judging from Huang Min's complexion, she seemed quite healthy; it probably wasn't for her.

Xu Mu quickened his pace to catch up with Huang Min and asked with a smile, "If I'm not mistaken, Senior, you want me to treat someone, right?"

"Correct."

Huang Min seemed rather aloof. After her brief reply, she increased her speed.

Xu Mu then moved to Qin Qiaoqiao's side and asked her, "What has Senior Qin been up to lately?"

"Not much lately, spending all day with my father."

Qin Qiaoqiao explained.

Xu Mu nodded. After all, her father had been a vegetable for so many years; now that he had suddenly awoken, her father would naturally want to spend more time with him.

Under Huang Min's lead, Xu Mu and the others arrived at the back mountain of Ice Soul Peak.

Xu Mu gazed into the distance and indeed spotted a magnificent palace.

The palace was constructed from white jade, with glazed tiles shimmering with golden light at its pinnacle.

In front of the palace, a black longsword over ten meters tall was thrust into the ground.

"Follow me."

Huang Min glanced at Xu Mu and then headed towards the distant palace.

Seeing this, Xu Mu felt a pang of surprise in his heart. Could it be that the Sect Master was in trouble?

Arriving before the Sect Master's palace, Xu Mu used his perception to scan the interior.

He discovered a middle-aged man with white hair lying in a bedroom.

"Elder Huang!"

Several sect disciples in the distance, upon seeing Huang Min, immediately greeted her respectfully.

Huang Min gave a slight nod, then looked at Qin Qiaoqiao beside her. "Qiaoqiao, you may return now."

"Yes!"

Qin Qiaoqiao nodded.

"Let's go in."

Huang Min shot a glance at Xu Mu and led the way.

Xu Mu, with his hands in his pockets, followed Huang Min into a bedroom.

Inside the bedroom, aside from a bed and a wheelchair, there was nothing else.

As soon as Xu Mu entered, he was hit by the smell of traditional medicine.

"Sect Master."

Huang Min approached the bedside, looking at the white-haired middle-aged man lying there.

Xu Mu followed her in. He observed the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect; the man appeared extremely weak and emaciated, with severe dark circles under his eyes.

He used his Divine Eye to check this person's information.

Name: Lin Tianlu

Identity: Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect

Favorability: 0

Fate Level: 2 (Max Level 10)

Seeing this, Xu Mu was somewhat taken aback. The esteemed Sect Master of a major sect only had a Fate Level of two.

Unless something unexpected happened, he was probably on the verge of death.

"Xiao Min, why have you come so late?"

Lin Tianlu pressed his hands against the bed, slowly shifting his body to sit up.

"Sect Master, I've found a divine physician this time. It's perfect to have him examine your injuries."

Huang Min's face was now filled with concern.

"Heh, I know my own body very well."

As Lin Tianlu spoke, he looked at Xu Mu. "Young friend, you look quite young. May I ask which school you hail from?"

"I'm self-taught. Let me examine your injuries first."

Xu Mu walked towards Lin Tianlu.

"Injuries? How did you know I was injured?"

Lin Tianlu asked with a smile.

"Who do you think I am?"

Xu Mu sat on the edge of the bed, took Lin Tianlu's wrist, and closed his eyes to concentrate.

Then he asked Lin Tianlu, "Bone fracture?"

Lin Tianlu's eyes suddenly widened. "You can tell I have a fracture just by taking my pulse?"

"Disuse atrophy, heard of it?"

Xu Mu stood up and asked nonchalantly.

"No, I'm not very knowledgeable about medicine." Lin Tianlu shook his head.

"Simple explanation: you suffered a severe bone injury in the past, but you forcibly exerted your body, causing serious bone wear and tear. This released inflammatory factors, damaging cartilage and synovium."

Xu Mu looked at Lin Tianlu. "This led to accelerated bone degeneration, muscle loss, joint stiffness, and decreased mobility. In plain terms, you've developed the characteristics of old age."

Hearing this, Lin Tianlu was left speechless.

Every word Xu Mu said hit the mark precisely. He, a grandmaster at the peak, at the Viscera Tempering realm...

He was only in his fifties, yet he had become an old man.

His skin now sagged, with not a trace of muscle left.

Ordinary people didn't retire until their sixties, yet he, a cultivator, was worse off than an ordinary person.

He looked at Huang Min beside him. "A divine physician! Truly a divine physician!"

"Xu Mu, can it be treated?"

Huang Min had originally just been trying her luck, never expecting Xu Mu to be so incredibly skilled.

"Currently, it's untreatable. Due to years of bed rest, he has also developed severe thrombosis. To be honest, in his current state, he won't live for another month."

Xu Mu paused before continuing, "Unless we have a seventh-grade heavenly treasure, the Blood Essence Grass."

"Blood Essence Grass..."

Huang Min clenched her fist. "A seventh-grade heavenly treasure like that is something one can only encounter by chance, not seek out. Where can we possibly find it within a month?"

Just then, the sound of people talking came from outside.

Lin Tianlu's face darkened. "It's that scoundrel Zhao Yide."

"Senior, you knew he was a scoundrel all along?"

Xu Mu was somewhat surprised; he had originally thought Lin Tianlu was kept in the dark.

"Correct. I'm also powerless now. Currently, Zhao Yide is the strongest person in the Heavenly Sword Sect. Even knowing he's bent on rebellion, I can only play the fool."

Lin Tianlu shook his head helplessly. "If it weren't for the treasures left behind by our sect's ancestors, I think he would have killed me long ago."

Xu Mu shook his head slightly. The current Lin Tianlu was like a candle flickering in the wind; he was certainly no match for Zhao Yide.

"Xiao Min, push me out."

Lin Tianlu slapped the bed with his palm, propelling himself into the air and landing in the wheelchair.

"Senior, don't be so forceful. Be careful you don't fall apart."

Xu Mu was somewhat speechless.

"Heh, force of habit."

Lin Tianlu waved his hand with a smile.

"Sect Master! Where is the Sect Master?"

Even from inside the bedroom, Zhao Yide's shouts could be clearly heard.

Huang Min pushed the wheelchair out of the bedroom.

Xu Mu followed closely beside them.

The three had just emerged from the bedroom when they saw Zhao Yide and numerous elders from Verdant Wood Mountain approaching.

Zhao Yide first glanced at Xu Mu, then slightly bowed his head. "Sect Master, my apologies for the disturbance."

"Elder Zhao, what is the matter?"

Lin Tianlu asked with a smile.

"That young man beside you is from the Demon Sword Sect. He has infiltrated our sect with malicious intent. I've come to kill him!"

Zhao Yide clenched his fist, stepping closer to Xu Mu.

"Who says Xu Mu is a disciple of the Demon Sword Sect? He is clearly a disciple of our Blazing Sun Mountain!"

Just then, several more people walked in from outside.

The leader was an elderly man with white hair, a crew cut, and a square face that exuded authority.

Xu Mu looked beside this elder and saw Dai Xingluo was right there; she hadn't left at all.

Dai Xingluo gave Xu Mu a slight wink.

Xu Mu now had a rough idea of what had happened. Dai Xingluo must have demonstrated the Phoenix Fire Sword before the elders of Blazing Sun Mountain.

"Kong Liuke! Stop spouting nonsense! He knows the Phantom Sword. And you say he's one of yours?"

Zhao Yide glared at the elder. "In that case, I'd say your entire Blazing Sun Mountain are spies for the Demon Sword Sect!"

"Zhao Yide, care to make a bet? If I can provide evidence, you kneel down and kowtow to me."

Kong Liuke stood with his hands clasped behind his back, casting a sidelong glance at Zhao Yide.
