Ye Tiancheng, meanwhile, had no memory of his identity, solely focused on the task at hand.
He was completely unaware that all of this was merely a test.
After these days, he vaguely sensed something within him.
It seemed…
That his estimated time was almost up, likely within these two days?!
Ye Tiancheng’s thoughts settled.
He knew his time was truly running out.
Moreover, this plague was far more potent than the previous one.
Although the mortality rate was high last time, it wasn't as exaggerated as it was now.
Because, last time, Ye Tiancheng had only focused on the citizens infected with the plague.
But this time, Ye Tiancheng had expanded the scope to the entire county, all villages and towns, and even some surrounding rural areas.
Once the plague situation spread, it would be truly troublesome.
And in the current situation, let alone the infected, even ordinary citizens, a simple cold could be life-threatening.
Ye Tiancheng took a deep breath; he had to hurry, otherwise, by the time the situation worsened, it would be too late for him to do anything.
"Listen to me, everyone. This prescription can temporarily alleviate some of the toxicity, but it is only temporary."
Ye Tiancheng looked at the renowned physicians before him and said, "I suggest we take immediate action."
"Oh? Do you have any suggestions?"
Those people all looked at Ye Tiancheng.
"I believe that now, we can start with the doctors in the county. Firstly, they are responsible for treating this plague, so they must have their own unique insights and experiences. Moreover, our situation here is dire, and their situation is likely not much better."
"We can consult them first, perhaps they can help solve these problems, how about it?"
Ye Tiancheng proposed his suggestion.
Ye Tiancheng was not foolish; he knew that these people, to some extent, still looked down on him, so he merely offered his suggestion, and whether it could be implemented depended on them.
"Hmm, what you said is not bad, I agree."
"I also agree, and I am willing to discuss it with them. If possible, these people can also be considered to have contributed to the people here."
These people also agreed with Ye Tiancheng's viewpoint, and for a moment, they were united in their resolve, preparing to communicate with those doctors.
However, as soon as they stepped out, they encountered soldiers who blocked their path.
Ye Tiancheng frowned and looked displeasedly at the soldiers, "What are you doing?"
"Ye Tiancheng, you cannot leave."
The soldiers' expressions were grave as they spoke directly.
Ye Tiancheng was stunned, "Why can't I leave? I haven't broken any laws."
"Why are you restricting my freedom?"
Ye Tiancheng was somewhat annoyed; he didn't understand why these soldiers suddenly started blocking his way.
Moreover, judging by their demeanor, there was clearly a reason.
Ye Tiancheng's heart suddenly sank.
Could it be…
"Is it because of those doctors?"
Ye Tiancheng asked tentatively.
The soldiers shook their heads, "It's an order from above, stating that the current situation is very critical and you should not run around."
"Why?"
Ye Tiancheng frowned and asked in confusion, "Don't they trust us?"
Ye Tiancheng felt some indignation. If it were other people who didn't trust them, Ye Tiancheng would have left without hesitation, but now, those doctors were their benefactors!
Why would those people suspect them?
"This… this we don't know."
The soldiers hesitated for a moment and finally shook their heads.
They were merely acting on orders.
Ye Tiancheng's expression became somewhat dejected.
Beside him, some renowned physicians also had shifting expressions, unsure of what to do.
"This matter is indeed a bit tricky."
Someone murmured.
They could now feel that the surrounding situation had become very bad.
"Yes, it is indeed a bit tricky."
Another renowned physician also said, "How about this, we'll talk to those doctors first and see if there's a way to suppress this plague and prevent it from spreading too severely."
Ye Tiancheng nodded.
Doing so, although risky, was still a way.
"Alright, you go and negotiate with them first."
Ye Tiancheng nodded.
Those renowned physicians nodded.
Then, they led their respective disciples towards the courtyard where those doctors resided.
…
"Master, do you think we can really cure those doctors this time?"
"Can we cure this plague?"
The eyes of these students carried a sense of trepidation.
The elder teacher, however, smiled, "You all just overthink things. Don't worry, since you've chosen this path, you must persevere. This time, we are not only saving more people but also saving ourselves."
Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in the eyes of these students.
The words were simple and crude, but the effect was very good.
These renowned physicians were originally found by these students from outside, specifically to teach them.
And now, these people were helping them, so why couldn't they also work hard to help them and make this country better?
A group of students, at this moment, had faces filled with excitement.
And Ye Tiancheng, at this moment, was also standing on the rooftop, watching those people slowly walk towards the courtyard where those doctors resided.
Ye Tiancheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
In his gaze, a look of determination appeared, "I absolutely will not allow this plague to run rampant!"
…
Ye Tiancheng vowed in his heart.
This era had historical records of plague outbreaks.
This was beyond doubt!
Moreover, according to the records, every plague would sweep across the nation, plunging countless regions into dire straits, ultimately leading to extremely severe consequences!
All of this was because these diseases were too overbearing.
Their transmission speed was extremely fast.
This also caused these plagues to be called the end of the world in this era.
At this time, these doctors already knew that a plague was likely to occur, so they had already begun defensive work.
"We have encountered these plagues before, but they were all small-scale infectious diseases, and we controlled them with some medicines. However, this plague is very unusual."
Those doctors gathered together, their faces filled with worry.
"Yes, we have tried all sorts of methods during this period, but there has been no progress."
"I think we are finished this time. It's likely our prescriptions will be useless."
Those doctors were somewhat dejected.
This time, they all felt that the situation was very complex.
These doctors even doubted if they would die here.
After all, at this time, they had no confidence in their hearts.
Who could guarantee such a thing?
And at this moment, Ye Tiancheng and the others were secretly observing the reactions of those doctors.
At this moment, the expressions on those faces made Ye Tiancheng and the others even more worried.
They all looked at those doctors and asked anxiously, "Doctors, what do you think we should do now?"
Ye Tiancheng spoke, his face filled with anxiety, "Everyone, you are all people with superb medical skills. Do you have any solutions?"
As Ye Tiancheng spoke, his gaze was fixed on those doctors.
These doctors were also somewhat hesitant.
Their medical skills were indeed brilliant.
However, the situation this time was different, and they had no particularly good solutions.
"Alas."
One of the doctors sighed, his face also showing a hint of dejection, "We do have a way."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
"Really?"
"What way?"
"What way do you have?"
Everyone looked at that doctor excitedly.
Ye Tiancheng spoke even more impatiently, "Tell us."
"We can use medicine to temporarily curb the spread of the plague, but it is only a temporary inhibition, not a cure, and…"
That doctor said with a wry smile, "If we continue to drag this on, I'm afraid our medicines will also fail."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Tiancheng's expression instantly turned grim.
"Then what should we do?"
The other students also asked one after another.
"Listen to me, everyone."
That doctor pondered for a moment and then slowly said.
"Firstly, I need a material called Spirit Spring. I am not sure where this thing exists, I only know that it can inhibit the plague, and I am not clear about its specific effects."
"Secondly, I need a medicinal herb called Ice Soul Orchid. I have seen both of these medicinal ingredients and have also collected them, but these two herbs can only be produced in extremely cold regions."
"Therefore…"
"The things we need are simply too few."
After speaking, the doctor's face was filled with intense fatigue.
"We…"
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the entire venue immediately became somber again.
What other methods did they have?
None!
Absolutely no way!
And at this moment.
A gentle female voice sounded.
"I know how to prepare these medicines."
As the voice fell.
Everyone looked up.
They saw a young woman slowly approaching from afar.
She looked as if even a gust of wind could blow her over.
But, somehow, she exuded a peculiar beauty.
This beauty made people want to approach.
But they dared not approach.
"Who are you?"
"Do you know these medicines?"
The surrounding students looked at the girl with surprise.
Ye Tiancheng's expression changed unpredictably.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that perhaps his opportunity had arrived.
He stepped forward directly, "Miss, do you know these medicines?"
The woman looked at Ye Tiancheng and smiled gently.
This man was much smarter than she had imagined.
At this time, she was too lazy to conceal anything.
She said directly, "I do recognize some medicinal ingredients, and I am willing to share them with the doctors."
"Of course, I hope you can do me a favor."
At this moment, Ye Tiancheng's expression suddenly froze.
He seemed to have thought of something and said directly, "No."
He refused decisively.
This girl must have a problem.
She definitely has a problem!
He couldn't let her get involved.
"Hehehe…"
The girl, however, laughed, her laughter very gentle.
And the more she laughed, the more Ye Tiancheng's brow furrowed.
This girl gave him a sense of danger.
"If not, then forget it."
The girl shook her head and said.
After speaking, she turned to leave.
Seeing this scene, everyone's expressions were uncertain.
Especially Ye Tiancheng.
Just now, when the girl offered to help, he almost blurted out his agreement.
But he forcibly restrained himself.
Now, seeing the girl about to leave, he immediately stopped her, "No. You must stay."
In his eyes, a sharp gleam flickered.
