1281: Bring me over

Bring me over

Hakzuax then brought Rean's group to a place where many cultivators with countless types of injuries were located. "Then again, it's not like you guys will be called out every day. Though, with that being said, your job will be to help heal the cultivators that were brought here."1

"I won't stop you from using alchemy pills or other items to heal your patients. Just make sure you consider whether it's worth using them or not. Also, you can head to those barracks on the left side to request such things. It's just that each alchemy pill, healing liquid, poison antidotes, and so on will cost you War Points. You will have to weigh if you can make more War Points or not by using them. Of course, if you have your own and want to use them, go ahead. I'm not going to stop you."

Rean couldn't help but ask after Hakzuax explained, "Isn't it a bit too cold to ask for War Points to get items capable of saving these people's lives?"

Hakzuax looked at Rean and snorted in response. "Hmph! Do you have any idea how expensive a war that involves ten entire regions is? There's simply not enough to pay for everyone's recovery. If you have a better solution, then tell me. I'm all ears."

Rean scratched the back of his head and shook his head. Obviously, he didn't have a better idea at all. Not only did the war cause many injuries, but it also had to pay for everyone's help. This was the world of cultivation, after all. Without benefits, the majority simply wouldn't come to the battlefield. In the end, the resources were prioritized to pay for those who contributed to the war. Injured people most likely wouldn't be able to help anymore, so reverting resources to their side was hard.

'The fact that there are healing grounds at all is because many cultivators have healing skills that don't rely on items. But then again, there's a limit as to what they can do without those resources. They're here to help heal the cultivators that would be able to go back to the battlefield,' Rean thought. 

Hakzuax saw that Rean didn't say anything and ignored him. "Anyway, each cultivator has a special jade slip on them. It marks the degree of their injuries and how many War Points you can gain depending on how well you heal them. Feel free to select anyone."

Following that, Hakzuax threw a jade slip to Rean and the others. "Here's the list of rewards. It's quite big, so make sure you select what's best for you."

Rean then asked back soon after, "How will we receive the War Points for healing the cultivators?"

"Very simple," Hakzuax responded. Once you finish healing someone, raise your hand. We have several army physicians here to keep control of the situation. They will immediately use their Divine Sense on the person you took care of and assess the results before adding War Points into your ID. Once you present your ID at the Exchange Center, you'll be able to see how many points you have made so far. Don't worry about losing points. Every single one of the physician cultivators here signed a Soul Binding Contract to be honest with the War Points given. They won't take, and at the same time, give a single more point than what you deserve."

Rean had to admit that Soul Binding Contracts were truly convenient.

Everyone then got their jade slips and began to move in the direction of the injured. There were obviously many more cultivators in need of help than there were physicians with healing skills. As far as Rean could see, there were more cultivators arriving at every moment than the healing cultivators could ever hope to deal with. Rean had amazing healing abilities, but he was only one person. There's no way he could make up for it at all.

However, before he could start working together with the others, he received a Divine Sense Message from Hakzuax himself. 'I received a message telling me about your healing skills. Can you really regrow parts of the body without using alchemy pills or any other healing items?'

Rean looked back at him and nodded in response. 'Sure, as long as there isn't anything blocking my healing effect.'

Hakzuax pondered over it for a bit before saying, 'In that case, come with me. We have a place here where we leave the people who had been grievously injured but haven't died yet. Very few of the physician cultivators like you and me go there since it would be too expensive to help them recover. Let alone try to make them recover the missing parts with the help of other items. Because of that, they'll provide the least amount of War Points as their importance to the war has become too small.'

Rean then looked around and noticed something. All the cultivators arriving had several degrees of injuries. However, none of them had missing limbs or any injury that couldn't be completely healed with enough time. Those were the ones that could be reinstated to the war front straight away once they were dealt with.

Rean was surprised to see that and looked at Hakzuax, asking, 'Doesn't that mean I will receive less as well?'

Hakzuax smiled in response. 'Wasn't it you who mentioned that we were too cold for not offering the resources to heal everyone? Now you decide to think about yourself as well and give up on them?'

Rean shook his head, saying, 'No. Whether they give me more points or not, I would still go to their side. These people here aren't at any real risk of dying. They just need to be treated. Still, if I can make those others you mentioned recover completely, shouldn't I get more War Points instead?' 

Hakzuax shook his head, explaining, 'Unfortunately, the army is very strict with the distribution of War Points. However, I can guarantee that anyone you heal there will give you the max amount of War Points that healing someone would provide. Of course, only if you completely heal them, including any missing parts.'

Rean was satisfied with that. 'Bring me over.'
