six days later.
the group arrived at the medical immortal sect.
the medical immortal sect was far from human habitation, surrounded by towering mountains and dense forests, making it extremely difficult for those at the foundation establishment phase who couldn't fly to traverse.
after a tough journey to the foot of the mountain, du ge looked up at the partially hidden gate halfway up the mountain and became even more determined to advance his sect's cultivators to the golden elixir phase.
a golden elixir cultivator could fly with a sword and carry one or two people, but not ten. it was fortunate that everyone was at the peak of the foundation establishment phase and could travel at full speed, which is why they had arrived in such a short time.
if they were all at the qi refining phase, just traveling would take over half a month.
wasting time on travel was the most regrettable thing.
...
"the spiritual energy of a prestigious sect is indeed rich!" standing at the foot of the mountain, xu heming's eyes were filled with envy. "we haven't even entered the gate, and the spiritual energy here already far surpasses that of my tianlan valley. i can't even imagine how dense it must be further up!"
what xu heming could feel, du ge could feel as well. looking at the gate above, he also felt emotional. this was what a cultivation sect should be like; the spiritual energy was incredibly abundant.
compared to this place, the seven stars mountain was nothing.
however.
if he had chosen to body possess such a sect in the beginning, given the choice between plundering and nobility, he wouldn't have developed so quickly!
in such a secluded sect, who could he plunder?
plunder the sick?
unless he reached the golden elixir phase, he might not even be able to leave the sect...
indeed.
not body possessing a prestigious sect was the right choice; there were too few people, and it was hard to stir up much trouble inside.
but now?
du ge suddenly turned to the sect leader and asked, "sect leader, how do these sects usually recruit disciples?"
"under normal circumstances, prestigious sects will send people into the populace at regular intervals to find talented children in various towns and take them as disciples," the sect leader explained. "disciples who have learned well in the sect will travel the world to broaden their horizons, and if they find promising candidates, they will also bring them back to the sect."
"are there no self-recommendations?" du ge asked.
"rarely. most sects are hidden in remote mountains and dense forests, beyond the reach of ordinary people. even if they are lucky enough to find a sect, they are seldom admitted," the sect leader said. "sects value talent above all. ordinary people, no matter how determined, without the talent and constitution for cultivation, won't be taken in by the sect. if they have a clear background, they might be kept to do menial work. if they are found to be spies from other sects, they are likely to be killed."
"how do they identify spies?" du ge asked. "soul searching?"
this was their main source of income, so they welcomed all such patients and had people waiting at the gate.
but this time.
the appearance of more than a dozen people with severed hands and feet, most of whom were also shaved bald, stunned the gatekeeping disciples.
what kind of peculiar demon had they encountered?
otherwise.
if someone else had beaten them to this state, they would have been decapitated long ago; how could they have been given the chance to be healed?
the sect leader, seeing the dazed gatekeeping disciples, helplessly hopped down from his flying sword on his one leg: "fellow medics, i am xiang cang, the sect leader of the danyang city supervisory institute, and i've brought my subordinates here for treatment."
one of the gatekeeping disciples suddenly snapped back to reality, looking troubled, "sect leader xiang, the medical immortal valley does not possess the medical techniques for limb regeneration."
"we've brought the severed limbs too, not a single one missing," the sect leader awkwardly signaled to qian dajin.
the seventh junior brother and qian dajin placed two large boxes they were carrying on the ground, opened the lids, and revealed neatly arranged arms and legs, each labeled with a name.
the disciple in charge of reception swallowed hard and took another look at the sect leader and his group: "since you have the severed limbs, then there should be no problem."
he stepped forward to inspect the limbs in the boxes. "these limbs have been well preserved, almost without any signs of damage. reattaching them should not be a problem..."
suddenly, his expression changed, "wait, what kind of weapon severed these limbs? how could it be so precise as to split them evenly, almost as if a highly skilled medic had dissected them under conditions where the person couldn't resist..."
the other gatekeeping disciples also gathered around, some picking up arms, some legs, and some even picking up the sect leader's thumb, examining the severed wounds with amazement.
"even the separation of this thumb has been cut so precisely, with the blood vessels and meridians clearly visible. this person's medical skills are no less than our master's!"
"if i had such medical skills, i would have become a famous doctor by now."
"sect leader, who injured you? can you tell us? this person must be a saint of surgery in the modern age, worthy of joining our medical immortal sect..."
"sect leader, tell us who injured you, and we might be able to treat you for free this time," the first gatekeeping disciple looked eagerly at the sect leader and his group, his eyes full of sincerity.
"..."
the sect leader and his group had not anticipated this situation and were at a loss for how to respond to the medical immortal sect's people.
the sect leader was just about to seek discipleship at the medical immortal sect.
revealing him would ruin his plan, wouldn't it?
"it was me!" du ge's voice suddenly rang out next to everyone. he stepped forward to qian dajin, took his right hand, and with a smile handed it to the gatekeeping disciple, "i, wang, have come to exchange medical techniques with the medical immortal sect..."
