Carriages and horses were slowly stationed outside of Spirit City.
Xue Qinghe's carriage was halted at the very front, and because of the special regulations of Spirit City, he could only order the accompanying soldiers to station themselves outside the city, and then lead the crowd of academy battle teams to enter Spirit City. Just as they reached the entrance of the city, a cardinal came forward to greet them and led the crowd inside a guesthouse on the west side of the city.
At the same time, he also informed the crowd that the tournament would officially begin in three days.
After the cardinal left, the staff began to issue each academy team their room door tags. Getting the door tags, Lin Manshan was the first to follow the door number and led the girls into the designated suite, each choosing their own room. After simply washing and tidying up, they gathered together and went downstairs to have dinner, and then returned straight to their rooms to cultivate. After travelling, with the tournament day approaching, they all needed to adjust their state to the best.
The next day, in the morning, inside one of the bedrooms in the suite where Shrek has been staying.
With the assistance of Liu Erlong, Yu Xiaogang slowly removed the bandages from his body, and then his body trembled a little. Liu Erlong instantly covered her vermilion lips, tears streamed down her face.
Scars, reddish scars can be seen all over, a large area of scars, only the ones on the face are slightly lighter.
What was even more horrifying was the appearance, with frosty grey hair at the temples and a face full of wrinkles, just like a 60-year-old elderly man.
Previously, because the face and body wounds were covered with thick scabs, it was not visible, but now that the scabs had fallen off, it was extremely obvious at once.
"How did this happen?" Liu Erlong let out a trembling cry.
"It must, it must be Lin Manshan who did this on purpose!" Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth, his voice was hoarse.
"With his medical skills, it's easy to make such a trick. He was willing to treat me because he wanted to tamper with the treatment process and disfigure me."
When Liu Erlong heard this, her eyes instantly reddened, "I'm going to find him and ask for a statement!"
"Erlong, don't," Yu Xiaogang was about to reach out and pull, but Liu Erlong had already rushed out of the washroom.
He was nothing more than an ordinary person now, and there was no way he could stop her.
He hurriedly followed out and came to the bedroom door shouting towards the living room, "Flender, quickly stop Erlong, don't let her do something stupid." In his current condition, it was really not advisable for him to go out. After saying that, he returned straight to the washroom and began to wash the dirt that had condensed on his body.
On the other side, Flender, who was sitting and waiting in the living room, saw Liu Erlong huffing and puffing towards the door, a bad premonition rose within him, and he hurriedly stood up to follow, and after hearing Yu Xiaogang shouting, his footsteps accelerated even more, and he quickly grabbed the door and went out.
"???" Leaving behind the Shrek students who were puzzled, they looked at each other in confusion and got up in unison to follow.
"Lin Manshan, Lin Manshan, come out here!" Before even approaching the suite, Liu Erlong shouted out.
Although the soundproofing effect of the guest house's room was very good, the people who lived there were all Spirit Masters after all, and Liu Erlong was a Spirit Saint, and her voice was loud due to her anger. The shouting sound caused even the door of the room to vibrate a little, and the academy teams in the same corridor could not help but open the door to check out the situation.
Among them were Ning Fengzhi and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, who were positioned in side-by-side rooms.
"What's all the noise!?" The one who opened the door was Dugu Bo, who loosened his aura just as his feet stepped out, his face showing displeasure.
Liu Erlong's aura stagnated, but she still stared angrily, her eyes fixed on Lin Manshan who had just stepped out from behind Dugu Bo.
Seeing this, Flender, who was following behind her, hurriedly waved his hand and quickly stepped forward, saying as he walked, "Coronet Dugu please calm your anger."
After walking between the two, he turned his head to look at Liu Erlong, "Erlong, what are you doing?"
Liu Erlong's eyes instantly reddened and pulsed as she gritted her teeth, "Xiaogang's entire body is covered in scars, and the wrinkles are noticeable as if he has aged more than 10 years."
Flender was instantly taken aback.
So Erlong thought it was Lin Manshan who had tampered with his body?
In the middle of his thoughts, Dugu Bo's voice was heard with disdain, "Just this? It's a disgrace to know that you used to wander through the continent, and you don't even know this bit of common sense in medicine."
"Falling off a horse resulted in a large area of skin scrapings, casually picking some herbs to treat himself, and then also got drenched in the rain, the cold entered the body, the spots of infection grew, and he didn't know how to deal with it, which resulted in the whole body's wounds festering and pussing out, and the spots of infection penetrating into the body."
Saying this, he nudged his head slightly towards Ning Fengzhi who was not far away, "Sect Master Ning, you have also seen that guy's injuries, and have a wide range of knowledge, and must be clear about the consequences involved, and now have the most right to speak, so you may as well speak truthfully and directly."
Flender and Liu Erlong immediately turned their gazes towards Ning Fengzhi.
"The entry of a pathological infection into the body, which has not been cleaned up for a long time, will damage the physical body, and the functions of the various organs will decay, damaging longevity." Ning Fengzhi's face was suddenly covered in regret, and he spoke briefly and succinctly.
"Hear that?" Ignoring the horrified expressions of the two, Dugu Bo's tone was clear and cold, "How weak that guy's body was when he was carried back by you guys, I'm sure you guys know it very well. If it wasn't for my grandson-in-law's help, he definitely wouldn't have lasted the night. As for the scarring, the injury didn't receive spirit skill treatment at the first opportunity, missing the best healing time, of course, it will leave a scar, this is common sense, right?"
"Hehe, not knowing to repay for saving your life, now you even turn around and blame, is this how you were brought up?"
Flender hurriedly bowed slightly and offered a humble salute to apologise.
"I hope Coronet Dugu can forgive the offence, Erlong just didn't understand the reason, she got emotional just now, and committed an offence."
Dugu Bo glanced at Liu Erlong and said indifferently, "If you don't understand it, read more in the future, so as not to lose the honour."
"Also, before the rescue, my grandson-in-law did not demand any payment, just asked that guy to come privately and apologise in front of my grandson-in-law for what happened back then after he recovered from his injuries."
"Hehe, now that good people don't get good rewards, I'm sorry, I'll change my request. Go back and tell that guy that he must apologise in public for what happened back then, or else he'll suffer the consequences."
"Also, by the way, tell him to enjoy the rest of his time. My grandson-in-law didn't mention it before because he was worried that you guys wouldn't be able to handle the blow, I can now tell you clearly; that guy definitely won't live past the age of 60."
"Decaying body organs, it's an almost irreversible condition."
Preferably it would be best if he listened to it and then directly died on the spot in a violent death gasping inside as you mention this.
"What!?" Flender's expression changed drastically at once.
Wouldn't live past the age of 60, now that Yu Xiaogang was almost 50, wouldn't that mean that at most he could live for another 10 years?
Behind him, Liu Erlong's complexion was already pale, her body was a little shaky, and she was held up by Jiang Zhu who rushed over from behind.
"Let's go, let's go inside." Dugu Bo ignored the two of them and led Lin Manshan back to the room.
With a snap, the door was closed.
Almost irreversible, that means there's still a chance? Flender thought at once, looking at the door of the room that had been closed, and ultimately did not take a step. Saving someone and still being scolded at the door, right now Lin Manshan and Dugu Bo must be very upset in their hearts, and going to the door to ask for help again is undoubtedly looking for scolding.
It would be best to go back and discuss with Xiaogang first, and it would be best to convince Xiaogang to lower his head. Moreover, the treatment is almost equal to life extension, even if Lin Manshan can, I am afraid that the price is not something that they can afford to pay. Between his thoughts, he turned around and approached Liu Erlong.
Then said after glancing at the students behind him, "Return to your room first."
After that, he nodded slightly towards Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe, leading the team straight away.
Snap-snap-snap-snap, the sound of doors slamming shut rang out one after another in the corridor.
"Hmph, returning enmity for kindness, truly ungrateful." Near the entrance of the Godwind Academy room on the side of the staircase, Huo Wu who stood in front of Huo Wushuang and Feng Xiaotian slumped her head and looked at the Shrek Academy group who had already descended down the stairs, disdainfully skimming her mouth.
"It's considered a deserved punishment." Huo Wushuang commented.
Feng Xiaotian shook his head and did not speak.
Not long after, Shrek Academy suite, the group pushed the door in, what came to their eyes was Yu Xiaogang sitting on the living room sofa anxiously waiting, the hairs on his temple were frosty white, his wrinkles became ravines, the two sides of his slightly pale face and his forehead still carried large scars, appearing somewhat hideous, truly ugly.
"This," All the team members, including Flender and a group of instructors, were shocked.
Seeing that everyone was fine, Yu Xiaogang subconsciously lowered his head slightly, clenched his fists and remained silent.
Closing the room door, the crowd was also silent as they walked in.
Liu Erlong sat beside Yu Xiaogang, similarly silent, only softly sobbing.
Yu Xiaogang seemed to be perceptive and gritted his teeth, "Say it, I can handle it."
Upon hearing this, Flender's expression became complicated and he began to narrate.
"Won't live past the age of 60..." Yu Xiaogang's gaze suddenly froze, and his body trembled slightly.
Seeing this, Liu Erlong on the side hurriedly grabbed his shoulders and softly called out, "Xiaogang."
On the other side, seeing Yu Xiaogang's devastated appearance, Tang San seemed to be somewhat unable to bear it, and couldn't help but speak out, intending to give Yu Xiaogang a trace of hope and support.
"Master, in fact, it's not like there's no way to solve the problem of organ failure in your body."
"What solution!?" Liu Erlong asked anxiously.
"Heavenly treasures that contain a large amount of life energy or Immortal herbs used for healing." Tang San replied back.
The Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng he consumed was actually considered to be one, and letting Yu Xiaogang drink his blood to absorb the medicinal power in it might be of some use.
However, after several injuries, there wasn't much medicinal power contained in his body. Moreover, such medicinal power was still of great use to him, whether it was to assist in cultivation in the future and transform it into cultivation, or to be used in times of emergency to recover from injuries.
It could not be wasted on Yu Xiaogang.
"Immortal herbs?" Flender instantly revealed a bitter smile, "This kind of precious treasure is not something that can be found casually."
"Xiaogang, when the Spirit Master Tournament is over I'll take you to find it, even if I have to travel all over the continent," Liu Erlong hastened to speak out to console him.
As the words fell, Flender couldn't help but chime in, "In fact, with Lin Manshan's medical skills, perhaps it's also possible."
Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang instantly fell into silence.
The latter clenched his fists, his face flushed red, and he eventually squeezed his voice out from between his teeth, "Let's wait for the Spirit Master Tournament to end before we talk about it."
Flender nodded slightly and sighed, "Even if Lin Manshan is willing, I'm afraid that the medicinal herbs needed won't be easy to find. Regarding this, I will try my best to find a way when the time comes."
Yu Xiaogang nodded lightly and did not answer.
Seeing this, Flender lightly clapped his hands and squeezed out a smile, "It just so happens that everyone is here, so let's discuss the tactics for the finals next." With that, he began to recount the rules of the finals for the crowd.
"."
On the other side, the door to the Skywalker Academy room was knocked on.
"Brother Dugu, please step out and meet me."
In a moment, with a creak, the door of the room was opened, and Dugu Bo swept his gaze, it was Ghost Douluo.
"Elder Ghost, something is wrong?" He could not help but ask.
"The Supreme Pontiff made an invitation, wanting Friend Lin to help refine some medicines." Ghost Douluo said politely.
"Found a suitable herb?" Dugu Bo brightened up at once, his face showing surprise.
"A slight gain." A hint of a smile appeared on Ghost Douluo's face.
"Worthy of being the Martial Spirit Hall, the heritage is great." Dugu Bo couldn't help but envy them as well.
However, this is still not as good as my luck. His heart eased down again.
Then he nodded slightly, "Let's go."
"Brother Dugu, young friend Lin, please." Ghost Douluo immediately sidestepped.
Turning back to bid a quick hello to the group, Lin Manshan also followed behind, his footsteps gradually fading into the distance.
"It seems like the Martial Spirit Hall has found an immortal herb." Within the room on the other side, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but sigh.
"The Martial Spirit Hall has many spirit masters and a lot of high-end combatants, so it's not surprising that they were able to find it." Sword Douluo beside him spoke bluntly.
"Uncle Chen, how could I not understand this matter? It's just that the Martial Spirit Hall now has the help of the Immortal Herb, and although we don't know who will be taking it, we can be sure that this person will be able to achieve Titled Douluo in the future, which is really a great threat." Ning Fengzhi laughed bitterly.
He suddenly realised that Lin Manshan's existence had caused the overall strength of the upper three clans to fall further and further behind the Martial Spirit Hall.
However, what could he do about it?
Not to mention the fact that with Dugu Bo, Lin Manshan couldn't be killed, his own family's martial soul flaws still had to be solved by Lin Manshan.
Hearing this, Sword Douluo on the side also frowned and fell into a deep thought, yet without a clue.
Silence fell in the room for a moment.
