Chapter 1342: 999: Luring the Snake Out of Its Hole (Part 3)

She truly couldn’t understand, possessing the talent to become a physician; even if her realm was not high, she could easily accumulate merit by curing minor ailments. Yet choosing to be a corrupted evil cultivator, it really sullied the name of a physician.

"Since you’ve cultivated to the realm of Seeking Dao Ascension, even the heavenly-level medical cultivation technique is hard to attract them to take risks." Zhu Qiao pondered for a moment and suggested, "If they are greedy and competitive, organizing a summit of high-tier physicians might lure them out. After all, working behind closed doors is unwise; seeking Dao requires discussing Dao with others. Listening more, comprehending widely, and absorbing others’ experiences are crucial."

Jiang Yuan: ...

A high-tier physician summit?

Anyone who has cultivated to a high realm is a rarity; who would run around attending gatherings without ample opportunity? Even with the help of the Demon Realm Alliance, it would be difficult to invite real masters.

Seeing him silent, Zhu Qiao continued, "It’s already difficult for a physician to cultivate, and advancing to high-tier status means tackling complex illnesses with dedication. Gathering high-tier physicians is surely challenging.

As an alternative, there’s another approach: find a difficult-to-treat complex illness and offer a reward; the more high-profile, the better!

Physicians seeking Dao Ascension need to have the highest level of healing methods. In other words, to enter Dao through medicine means there can be no disease in the world that puzzles you, only then can you find your own path in medical Dao.

The greatest challenge lies in truly finding a difficult patient that cannot be cured by other physicians.

When the matter is sufficiently grand, one imagines that evil cultivator leader will not sit still. To seek Dao, one must continuously cure difficult diseases; if others cannot heal it, perhaps it will attract them."

"A difficult patient?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan’s eyes lit up; isn’t that simple?

Go to Sand Hill City, and borrow an Angry Fire Bear Demon with ’Cold Poison’ from City Lord Ming, ensuring ordinary physicians can’t cure it!

After all, back then, Hou Ze went through many consultations to treat Leng Yutang, but not a single physician could discover the parasitic truth.

"Thank you, Valley Master Chu, for pointing out the path!" Having finally found the way to lure the snake out of its hole, he quickly retrieved a pile of magical artifacts and treasures from the Storage Bag, raided from evil cultivators, as gifts.

Then he clicked to exit the new world and returned to his courtyard.

Leaving Zhu Qiao holding a heap of shiny magical artifacts and treasures, with no chance to express refusal, he could only smile helplessly, "Mr. Jiang is truly someone with a quick temperament."

The ultimate task remains, can one not be anxious!

Jiang Yuan immediately gathered personnel, first having Hou Ze and Miss Hu Jiu join forces with Wu Chen to create momentum, offering high rewards on Trapped Snake Island for renowned physicians; then connecting with City Lord Ming to select an Angry Fire Bear Demon, afflicted by Cold Poison, whose appearance closely resembles Leng Yutang.

Although unsure what the gentleman ultimately intended, everyone who received the task acted enthusiastically.

Thus, amidst the bustling Trapped Snake Island, explosive news suddenly circulated—a reward of ten thousand Immortal Jade offered by Hou Ze, the Head Shopkeeper of Huisheng Firm, for a physician to heal his life-and-death acquaintance!

"To be honest, I work tirelessly day and night managing the firm, hoping to save enough Immortal Jade sooner, just so I can find a miracle physician to cure my life-and-death friend’s illness.

Heaven favors the persistent, and the firm finally earned some money. Unfortunately, the friend’s condition worsens and worsens. I implore the Shopkeepers and fellow Daoists from north and south to show compassion. If a physician can be found to heal him, I am willing to offer generous rewards with heartfelt gratitude!"

Hou Ze, three parts acting and seven parts genuine emotion, recalling those years of running to heal Leng Yutang, felt heartache and nearly shed tears.

Miss Hu Jiu, with reddened eyes, softly explained that if it weren’t for Daoist Leng’s deteriorating condition, there would be no such last resort. She earnestly hopes the generous reward will invite a miraculous physician to heal him.

The Angry Fire Bear, invited as bait, held Immortal Jade in one hand, an Elixir in another, adorned with warmth-inducing talismans against the cold, and advanced fire stones burning in the room.

"Eating well and drinking plenty, then nap without suffering yet receiving rewards. Such good fortune has indeed come to me!" The Angry Fire Bear Demon was very pleased, sipping Spiritual Wine comfortably as he napped.
