Swordsman of the Sword God
Ch. 59 - Trying to Show Off?
Master Gu took Elder Dai's wrist and held it for a few minutes. He then took out dozens of silver needles and began to slowly and carefully place them around Elder Dai's stomach. Old Dai's face was slightly bright, although one could still see that his expression was still in pain.
Fei Hung shook his head.
"Master Gu, the quality is here along with the medicinal plants." Some maids carried cauldrons while others carried some wooden boxes containing various medicinal herbs inside.
"Master Gu's... How's my dad doing?" asked the middle-aged man when he saw the blood coming out of his father's mouth reduced to only a thin line of blood flowing at the corner of his lips.
"Don't worry, Wuyun, your father will be fine. He seems to have a cut on his stomach, which makes him suffer from pain and vomit blood." Master Gu replied as he stood up and directed his attention to the medicinal plants inside the box.
After selecting a few plants, he began to refine them in the cauldron that had been brought to him.
The other alchemy Master assistants were amazed when observing Master Gu's movements in cultivating potions. Even the two women who entered at the last inside the hall also felt amazed. It was rare to see an Honorable Alchemist Master making medicinal herbs in public, as the Alchemist Masters did not allow outsiders to observe how they prepared the potions and cultivate them. Everything they do in an alchemy association or in a closed room.
Masrer Gu took nearly an hour to make medicinal liquid. He seemed to be very concentrated when cultivating that medicinal plant. He put one plant at a time. Then he poured it into a very high quality transparent porcelain bottle. Master Gu looked extremely tired as a few drops of sweat fell on his forehead.
"Middle-class Heavenly Elixir!"
Sounds of astonishment rang out among the gathered people.
"What!"
"He made a middle-class heavenly herb in less than an hour?"
"It is predictable... Being a Green Master Alchemist, his experience surpassed that of any Alchemist Master."
"Master Gu is indeed very beyond perishing."
The gazes of the pretty girl who was with the other women in her delat were slightly enlightened by Master Gu, it seemed like she had found hope.
Master Gu then approached the old Dai's body, lifted the back of his head and gave him some medicinal liquid to drink and still had not removed his needle.
"That's enough. The potion I made will help him heal his stomach and recover completely in time." Master Gu spoke with a hint of arrogance. No one noticed, except for two.
A few minutes later, the old Dai still closed his eyes.
"Hoeekk....!"
When Master Gu was about to speak, the old Dai started spitting out blood. His pale skin was getting worse, and larger traces of blood began to flow from his mouth.
"What happened!?" Master Gu was startled and examined the old Dai's body.
He took out one more silver needle and inserted it near his heart, successfully stopping a small amount of blood coming out of his mouth.
"It seems like Elder Dai's injuries are very serious.." shaking his head, Master Gu continued his words, "At the very most he will only last for a few more days... there's nothing I can do..."
Old Dai's son, Rong Wuyun, wanted to say something but in the end he was unable to speak. The helplessness in his eyes could be seen. Even his daughter, was a little sad.
Even the other alchemist masters who were there, examined the old man's body and also agreed with Master Gu's opinion.
"You're wrong. He didn't suffer any injuries to his stomach..."
A flat voice sounded in the room. Everyone turned to look at the origin of this voice.
They soon realized that the voice was coming from a young man behind them.
Fei Hung had unleashed his self-concealment technique a long time ago, as they were all focused on what Master Gu was doing, so no one noticed him.
Master Gu frowned and said, "Young man, I don't know what you want to say, but I've checked his condition and he can't last long, and I know better what's going on."
Everyone present within the hall denied Fei Hung's statement by shaking their heads while the humiliation passed through their eyes.
Fei Hung ignored Master Gu's comments, while he slowly approached and grabbed onto old Dai's wrist. In less than ten seconds, he knew exactly and had confirmed what had happened to his body.
Master Gu was offended by Fei Hung's behavior, when he had ignored him. All along, he had always been highly respected wherever he went, even the City Lord still had to be a little courteous to him.
Just when Master Gu wanted to speak, he was interrupted by Fei Hung, "His stomach is still fine, his kidneys and heart are becoming a problem...."
"Stupid! You think you are an Alchemist Master?! You're just a kid who hasn't even grown your hair and you think you know everything?!" Said Master Gu with a grim face scolding Fei Hung as he realized something, "Do you think that if you try to show off here, then, will you be able to attract the attention of all the young women in this room? If that's what you're thinking, you better get out of here!"
When he said the last sentence, everyone in the place thought that Master Gu's words were correct, so they didn't like Fei Hung who just wanted to show off to get the women's attention.
Even the two women not far there couldn't help but feel a little disgusted at Fei Hung.
Fei Hung looked with a weak look towards Master Gu. He was too unwilling to deal with arrogant people like him. Although he might be able to leave without interfering, but Fei Hung still wanted to help the old man
After all, it was the life of a human being that was at stake. Moreover, if any of her loved ones were in such a situation, she wanted someone to help them.
Fei Hung looked at Rong Wuyun and said in an indifferent tone, "Do you want to save your father? Then let me cure him ... If I can't, I'll accept any consequences. If you don't agree, then I'll go."
Rong Wuyun had moved closer to his father's body, afraid that the young man in front of him would do something stupid by trying to show off. When he heard what Fei Hung said at first he hesitated, but knowing that there was no longer a way, he could not help but hold on to the last hope.
Rong Wuyun nodded in agreement.
Fei Hung then took out a set of silver needles that were nearby.
In the presence of everyone, he suddenly plucked out all the needles that Master Gu had placed in the abdomen of the old Dai.
Blood started to flow continuously more and more from the old man's mouth.
"Dad!"
"You bad boy! What are you doing ?!" Master Gu shouted in a loud voice as he watched Fei Hung take out all the silver needles he had inserted in Old Dai's body.
"Shut up! Your voice bothers me.." Fei Hung said indifferently.
Fei Hung did not mind speaking rudely to an arrogant and arrogant Grand Master Alchemist like him.
