He looked at the child in his arms, his eyes about to split.
Then, he lunged directly at Ye Tiancheng, wailing.
"Please save my son.
You are a divine doctor, you can definitely cure him, right!"
His voice was filled with fervent hope.
The others around them could not bear to see a beautiful wife become so haggard.
They turned their heads away.
This scene was too tragic.
"Alas!"
Ye Tiancheng sighed and prepared to step forward to help, "Everyone, please rest assured, I can cure your son's illness!"
His voice rang out.
Hope flickered in everyone's eyes.
Especially the middle-aged man.
"Thank you, Divine Doctor Ye!"
After speaking, he knelt on the ground, overcome with emotion.
"Quick, make way, I'm here!"
However, just as his voice fell.
Another figure streaked through the air.
It was an old man in green.
His face was filled with excitement.
"Haha, Brother Ye, I didn't expect you to be here too!"
The old man in green said with a smile.
At this moment, Ye Tiancheng frowned.
He said coldly.
"Old Man Liu, why are you here too!"
As soon as his voice fell.
Liu Zheng said with a laugh.
"Haha, such an important matter, of course I have to be involved.
Brother Ye, you're being unfair.
I helped you acquire the spirit herbs!"
His voice carried a hint of teasing.
Hearing this, Ye Tiancheng said with bitterness.
"Alas, I was overconfident this time and forgot to tell you.
I don't need those spirit herbs of yours at all.
Moreover, I need a lot of spirit herbs now.
The price is too high.
This time, I've lost a lot!"
As he spoke, his expression turned somewhat grim.
And just as his voice fell.
Liu Zheng waved his hand.
"Never mind, let's keep these for now.
When you need them in the future, I'll find them for you.
Anyway, my spirit herbs are all ordinary goods, nothing too advanced.
However, how do you plan to treat this child's illness!"
Liu Zheng said slowly.
When the middle-aged man heard this.
He said anxiously.
"Divine Doctor, you must save my son!"
His voice was filled with earnestness.
However, at this moment, Ye Tiancheng's voice rang out.
"I can save him, but I need you to bring all these spirit herbs.
Otherwise, we won't talk!"
He knew his own nature.
Once he set his mind on something, no one could persuade him otherwise.
At this moment, he had to be firm.
And just as his words fell.
The middle-aged man's expression changed.
Even if he sold everything, he couldn't gather so many spirit herbs.
But, at this moment, Ye Tiancheng.
He dared not offend him.
"Divine Doctor Ye, I am truly sorry, but I can only exchange two herbs here.
If you are willing, please come into the house.
Although it is simple here.
It is quiet enough to administer acupuncture to your son!"
As the middle-aged man spoke, his face turned somewhat ashen.
Clearly, he had reached the brink of despair.
However, at this moment.
Ye Tiancheng spoke.
"Let's go, let's talk inside!"
Saying that, he walked towards the courtyard.
The middle-aged man was overjoyed.
Was his son finally saved?
And after everyone left.
The woman's face became even more somber.
"Plop!"
She could no longer stand and collapsed to the ground.
Looking at the empty courtyard.
Her lips moved.
But she could not utter a sound.
Tears flowed uncontrollably.
She knew clearly how much she had sacrificed for her son's illness over the past few days.
She had even used up her family's savings.
If her son were to have any accident, she would have no way to live on.
"Bang bang!"
However, as she was crying.
There was a knock on the door from outside.
This made the woman's face show confusion.
Because, people in the village would not bother her unless they encountered difficulties.
And at this moment.
"Creak!"
The wooden door was pushed open.
A young man in coarse cloth entered the room.
Seeing this, the woman breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this man was not wealthy, he was honest and did not seem like a bad person.
But, just as she was about to invite him to sit down for a cup of tea.
The man pointed at the child on the bed and said.
"Auntie, what's going on!
This child still has a sliver of hope, why is he coughing up blood incessantly?"
His face showed confusion.
The woman's face instantly turned pale.
She said with a trembling voice.
"Yes, he can still be saved, but he just won't wake up.
Wuwu!"
Then, she clutched her chest and squatted on the ground, sobbing and falling silent.
The man was instantly dumbfounded.
What was going on?
His gaze projected out, landing on the child.
After sensing the child's physical condition.
His entire body froze.
Then, he exclaimed.
"This child probably won't live much longer!"
His voice carried a hint of solemnity.
"You're talking nonsense, don't curse my son to death!"
As soon as the man's words fell.
The woman rebuked him angrily.
"What I'm saying is true, if you don't believe me, let him try!"
Saying that, she reached out and placed her hand on the child's pulse.
"The child's internal organs have all failed, and there is blood stasis in his lungs.
Not only that, his head has also been severely corroded by poison, and he is now in a coma!"
Hearing this, the man was stunned.
He couldn't believe it.
He had struggled desperately for half his life.
In the end, he was going to watch his own flesh and blood die.
The woman, however, fainted completely.
It was due to excessive grief.
Ye Tiancheng's expression was grim.
He did not expect that there were such ruthless people in this world.
Disregarding the lives of others.
And at this moment.
The young man continued.
"Uncle, I don't know what happened.
But I can be sure.
Your friend is definitely not a good person, otherwise, why would he stand by and do nothing!"
"Shut up, what do you know!"
Ye Tiancheng said coldly.
But just as his words fell.
The young man was not having it.
He looked directly at Ye Tiancheng.
And said coldly.
"Hmph, you hypocrites.
You clearly caused someone's death, yet you still quibble.
Ye Tiancheng heard the man's words and knew he was being misunderstood, but he was too lazy to argue, as arguing was meaningless.
No one would listen seriously.
Ordinary people did not understand many things, which easily led to misunderstandings, but as a doctor, he prioritized saving lives and had no mood to bicker about these matters.
Ye Tiancheng found himself in a predicament again, unaware that in a dimension he could not see, a being was observing his situation and chuckled softly.
"Heh, interesting."
If Ye Tiancheng could hear this voice, he would have felt it was extremely familiar, because just by hearing it, Ye Tiancheng would have absolutely known who the owner of this voice was.
Wasn't this the girl who wanted to take the snow lotus from him?
If Ye Tiancheng's consciousness were still clear and he knew that everything he was experiencing was just a test, he might have realized that this girl was definitely not an ordinary existence.
Unfortunately, he could not hear it.
However, there was indeed another being who could hear this voice.
Qiongqi had been guarding the entrance of the cave, and when he suddenly heard the voice from inside, he immediately knew what kind of being was speaking.
He had already felt that Ye Tiancheng had a great chance of obtaining the divine artifact Shennong Ding, and now hearing this movement, it basically confirmed that Ye Tiancheng would definitely possess his item. If it were someone else, the hope might be slim, but Ye Tiancheng definitely could.
Qiongqi breathed a sigh of relief.
His heart, whether due to his friendship with the White Dragon, or the kindness Ye Tiancheng and his companions had shown him after they met, and Qiongqi's own positive outlook on Ye Tiancheng's future, he intentionally wanted to befriend Ye Tiancheng.
Therefore, Qiongqi knew that if the divine artifact Shennong Ding he guarded eventually had a new owner, Ye Tiancheng would undoubtedly be a good choice.
Moreover, this time he had facilitated Ye Tiancheng's path, so no matter what, Ye Tiancheng would owe him some gratitude.
Qiongqi knew that Ye Tiancheng was not someone who forgot favors, so he didn't need to worry too much.
Ye Tiancheng was unaware of Qiongqi's thoughts, but before entering, he could feel that Qiongqi had provided him with much convenience, and he had already noted this favor in his heart. If there was an opportunity in the future and Qiongqi made any requests, Ye Tiancheng would likely not have any objections.
Qiongqi had already heard the commotion inside the cave and knew that Ye Tiancheng was likely to succeed, which put his mind at ease. Gradually, he stopped paying special attention to the situation there and returned his focus to guarding the cave.
After the little fox returned to Aya's house, the news naturally spread to everyone within.
The very next day, Elder Wu went to the cave again.
He respectfully asked Qiongqi if he could enter the cave again, but the result was obvious. Ye Tiancheng was still undergoing trials in the cave, and regardless of whether it was due to his personal relationship with Ye Tiancheng or Qiongqi's duty, he could not agree.
Therefore, the result was naturally obvious.
Elder Wu was once again refused.
He was somewhat anxious.
In the past, he could come and go freely. He didn't know why, but suddenly Qiongqi stopped letting him in.
Initially, Elder Wu thought that perhaps Ye Tiancheng and the little fox had discovered something and done something to prevent him from entering. But now, it didn't seem to be the case.
Because Elder Wu had already received the news.
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox had returned to Aya's house.
If Ye Tiancheng and the little fox had sensed something was wrong, they shouldn't have returned to Aya's house, right? After all, if they had discovered it, they would have regained their memories.
However, Elder Wu also felt that it was unlikely for Ye Tiancheng and the little fox to regain their memories.
He was still confident in his medicine.
He knew that it was medicine refined by the divine artifact Shennong Ding, not ordinary medicine. Such an effect could not be easily resisted. No matter how powerful Ye Tiancheng and the little fox were, they were nothing in front of these medicinal ingredients refined by a divine artifact.
How could they recover so quickly, simply through him?
Therefore, it was indeed him being overly cautious.
Perhaps some other unforeseen event had occurred, causing Qiongqi to refuse to let him into the cave again. In that case, he had to think of a way to get in, otherwise, if too much time was delayed, it would not be good.
