C2634 Then It Pulled the Wool
With Tao Shu accompanying him, Ye Hong entered the room.
An old man with his eyes closed was lying quietly on the soft white bed.
He had long white hair and beard, and his face was clean and untainted. He looked like an expert who had attained the Dao and become an immortal.
However, for some reason, his body was strangely swollen all over, as if he was a bulging sarcoma.
This old man was none other than Tao Zheng.
Tao Zheng and Tao Shu didn't look alike, but Ye Hong had expected it.
On the way here, Ye Hong had found out about his relationship with Tao Zheng through a conversation with Tao Shu.
In fact, the two of them were not biological father and son.
Tao Zheng had never married, and Tao Shu was just an abandoned baby he picked up to raise.
The reason why Tao Zheng was like this was because he had dedicated his entire life's worth of effort to the study of the Immortal Martial Arts, and even had no intention of becoming a family.
Although Tao Zheng's strength was not high, and he had even heard that he hadn't even reached the level of Immortal Lord, let alone the level of Immortal Lord.
In terms of strength alone, Wu Xian might even be stronger than Tao Zheng.
However, what Tao Zheng was most proficient in was the study of theoretical knowledge.
The book of Immortal Martial Theory that he had written had helped countless people cross the threshold of cultivation, and had helped countless people reach the peak.
It was not like a peak expert, but even more so a peak expert!
Therefore, it was not an exaggeration for the Taiyi Immortal Sect to give Tao Zheng the title of the number one Grandmaster in Immortal Realm.
Ye Hong respected such a highly respected old man from the bottom of his heart.
He gently placed his finger on Tao Zheng's pulse and checked his body condition.
Ding! The Medical Arts of Grandmaster Level was triggered. '
'Ding! ' Investigate failed. Host's current medical skill level is extremely low. Please increase your skill level. "
Ye Hong was a little stunned. It had been a long time since he had encountered such a situation.
Apart from his martial arts skills, he used his medical skills the most frequently. Now, his proficiency was close to the 900 mark.
But with such superb medical skills, he could not find out the cause of Tao Zheng's illness?!
What kind of rare disease did this Tao Zheng get?
At this moment, Ye Hong finally understood why the top experts of Xianhe Hospital could not do anything about it.
On the other side, Tao Shu saw the change in Ye Hong's expression and asked carefully, "Little brother Ye, how is it?"
Ye Hong thought for a while, but an idea popped up in his mind.
This idea was to raise the current Grandmaster Level's medical skills to the King level!
Ye Hong did not believe that even the King level medical skills could not cure this illness.
And now, he was only about a hundred proficiency points away from the King level medical skills.
If he used his ability to transfer, he would be able to reach his goal.
However, he had encountered an awkward situation in the execution of this matter.
Ye Hong had only reached the King level in martial arts. According to the rules of the system, he could only use his ability transfer once a day.
Coincidentally, he had already used the ability transfer this morning, and it was currently on cooldown.
If he wanted to use it again, he had to wait until the next morning.
It seemed like he could only tell a white lie first.
Therefore, Ye Hong did not show the slightest change on his face. He only said to Tao Shu with a solemn expression, "I already know the cause of Old Mister Tao's illness.
However, in order to completely cure him, I still need some time to prepare."
Tao Shu was overjoyed at first. Then, he hurriedly asked, "I wonder how long Little Brother Ye needs to prepare?"
Ye Hong looked at the sky outside the window. It should be around eleven in the morning.
He estimated in his heart that it was still early in the morning. He said lightly, "About thirteen hours."
"That long?" Tao Shu frowned.
"Because your father's illness is really troublesome, we can only make more preparations in case something goes wrong."
Hearing Ye Hong's words, Tao Shu nodded repeatedly. "That makes sense. It's better to be safe."
"Little Brother Ye, what tools and herbs do you need? I'll get someone to prepare them for you!"
Ye Hong felt awkward when he heard Ye Hong's words.
The cause of his illness had not been confirmed yet. How would he know what herbs he needed?
However, in order to not raise Tao Shu's suspicion, he said casually, "Prepare twelve golden needles for me."
"That's it?" Tao Shu blinked and asked subconsciously.
Since Ye Hong needed golden needles, he must have used ancient medical skills.
However, Tao Shu had seen Doctors of the Ancient Medicine 's treatment scene before. All of them were piled up with herbs and tools, but he had never seen someone like Ye Hong who only needed twelve golden needles!
What puzzled him the most was that it was only twelve golden needles. Was there a need to use thirteen hours to prepare?
"Of course not!"
Ye Hong also found the loophole in his words and quickly added, "I will prepare one of each of the herbs I will be talking about next."
Then, Ye Hong immediately announced the names of a series of medicinal herbs.
Of course, he should not be able to use these medicinal herbs.
Presumably, after this matter was settled and handed over to Gongsun Yang, he would be able to sell them for a good price.
Sometimes, Ye Hong could not help but admire his ability to pull people's wool.
However, the more herbs Ye Hong mentioned, the more at ease Tao Shu felt.
When the news of Tao Shu needing herbs spread outside the villa, Tao Zheng's students all volunteered to collect herbs.
These people were all either rich or noble. Very quickly, they used various methods to send piles of medicinal herbs into the villa.0
Because they were worried that they would not be enough, they ordered people to specially prepare an extra serving.
So when these medicinal herbs were placed in front of Ye Hong, they had already far exceeded the amount he requested.
This was another unexpected surprise.
"Then, I'll have to prepare quietly next."
Ye Hong said seriously to Tao Shu.
Tao Shu understood what Ye Hong meant. He left everyone in the room, leaving Ye Hong alone in the room.
Ye Hong did not really prepare anything. He just leaned on the herb mountain in boredom, waiting for dawn to arrive.
During this period of time, he was really bored, so he quietly sat in meditation.
Although the medicinal Celestial Infants in his body did not react, and there was no flow of ancient energy, Ye Hong did not give up, calling out the sealed ancient energy over and over again.
Ever since he saw the ancient Qi in the wooden tower, Ye Hong had never let go of this matter.
Since there was still ancient Qi under the Ninth-Layer Immortal Seal, did this mean that there was actually a loophole in the Ninth-Layer Immortal Seal?
If he could discover this loophole, it meant that Ye Hong would not be affected by the seal in reality!
Time passed minute by minute. Although Ye Hong still did not sense the ancient aura, his heart gradually calmed down.
It was as if he had not meditated for a long time ever since he came to this world.
Amidst the haze, Ye Hong felt a faint numbness in his abdomen. It was as if there was a weak electric current flowing through.
Just as Ye Hong was immersed in this wonderful state, an aged voice resounded by his ear.
"Young man, who are you?"
