Chapter 265: Searching for a Miracle Healer
After Fang Xiaoxiao was injured and fell into a coma, Pei Yan was extremely anxious and immediately decided to go out to find a famous doctor.
He spurred his horse and galloped at full speed. However, not long after leaving the city gate, he encountered a band of robbers.
Seeing that Pei Yan was dressed in fine clothes and was all alone, the bandits had evil intentions and surrounded him.
"Leave your money, or I'll spare your life!" the bandit leader shouted viciously, brandishing his broadsword.
Pei Yan glared at him angrily.
"Get out of the way! I have urgent business to attend to!"
The bandits wouldn't listen and swarmed forward.
Although Pei Yan was highly skilled in martial arts, he was outnumbered and outmatched, making it difficult for him to escape for the time being.
During the fierce fight, Pei Yan's arm was cut, and blood stained his sleeve.
But with the unconscious Fang Xiaoxiao in his mind, he unleashed astonishing power and finally repelled the bandits.
Pei Yan continued on his journey, but due to his untreated wound, his strength gradually waned. Just then, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a torrential downpour began.
The road became muddy and slippery, and the horses fell several times due to the wet surface.
Pei Yan gritted his teeth and persevered, finally arriving at a small town.
He heard that there was a famous doctor in the town and went to visit him with high hopes.
But to everyone's surprise, this renowned doctor had already been invited away and his whereabouts were unknown.
Pei Yan refused to give up and inquired about famous doctors everywhere.
Someone told him that there was a reclusive healer on a mountain a hundred miles away who might be able to save Fang Xiaoxiao.
Despite his exhaustion, Pei Yan embarked on a new journey.
The mountain path was rugged and overgrown with thorns. Pei Yan's clothes were torn and his body was covered with wounds.
Along the way, he also encountered steep cliffs, where a slight misstep could have resulted in his death.
But Pei Yan did not back down at all. With his indomitable will, he finally climbed to the top of the mountain.
But the divine doctor refused to go down the mountain to save people. Pei Yan begged and pleaded, even kneeling in front of the divine doctor.
The divine physician was moved by his sincerity and finally agreed to go down the mountain with him.
On the way back, they were intercepted by a group of bandits.
Pei Yan and the divine physician were both in danger.
But Pei Yan used his last bit of strength to protect the divine doctor and fight the bandits to the death.
Finally, he brought the miracle doctor back home, and Fang Xiaoxiao had a glimmer of hope.
After seeing Fang Xiaoxiao, the divine doctor crossed his arms, glanced at Pei Yan, and said coldly.
"Hmph, I never save women, begging me won't help."
Pei Yan said urgently.
"Miracle doctor, please, I'll agree to any condition as long as you can save her."
The doctor's lips curled into a mocking smile.
"You'll agree to any conditions? Fine, then I need you to find a thousand-year-old snow lotus, a hundred-year-old lingzhi mushroom, and a deep-sea pearl within three days. You can't be missing any one of them."
Upon hearing this, Pei Yan's heart sank, but he still spoke firmly.
"Okay, I will do it."
After saying that, Pei Yan turned to leave. But the divine physician spoke again.
"Wait a minute, this thousand-year-old snow lotus is located on the summit of the snow mountain, where it is guarded by ferocious beasts year-round."
The century-old Ganoderma lucidum grows on a cliff, and a slight mishap could cause it to be shattered into pieces.
Deep-sea pearls are found in the deepest parts of the ocean, fraught with danger. Do you think you can do it?
Pei Yan gritted his teeth.
"I would go through fire and water to save her."
The miracle doctor snorted.
"Even if you do find these things, I might not save her. It depends on my mood."
Pei Yan glared at him angrily.
"Miracle doctor, how can you go back on your word like this?"
The miracle doctor smiled dismissively.
"That's just who I am, what can you do about it?"
Pei Yan suppressed his anger and took a deep breath before speaking.
"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up."
After saying that, Pei Yan resolutely embarked on the arduous journey to find the medicine.
Pei Yan resolutely embarked on a difficult journey to find the medicine.
He first rushed to the summit of the snow-capped mountain in search of the thousand-year-old snow lotus. The snow-capped mountain towered into the clouds, and the cold wind was so fierce that he could barely open his eyes.
The mountain road is steep and slippery; a slight misstep could send you plunging into a bottomless abyss.
Pei Yan climbed carefully, his hands and feet cut by the sharp rocks, and his clothes were stained with blood.
They finally got close to where the snow lotus grew, only to find a fierce snow leopard guarding the place.
The snow leopard bared its teeth and let out a low growl as it pounced on Pei Yan. Pei Yan drew his sword and engaged the snow leopard in a fierce battle.
The snow leopard was agile and nearly bit Pei Yan several times.
However, with his indomitable will and superb martial arts skills, Pei Yan finally found an opportunity to strike the snow leopard's vital point with his sword and successfully obtained the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus.
Before he could even catch his breath, he rushed off to the cliff face to search for century-old Ganoderma lucidum.
The cliff was bottomless, shrouded in mist. Pei Yan slowly climbed down using ropes, the wind whistling in his ears.
Suddenly, the rope snapped at a protruding rock, and Pei Yan's body plummeted.
In that critical moment, he desperately grabbed a tree branch extending from the cliff face, which saved his life.
After overcoming numerous hardships, they finally found the Ganoderma lucidum. Without taking a break, Pei Yan rushed to the seaside to search for deep-sea pearls.
The sea was turbulent, and Pei Yan hired a small boat to go out to sea. The gale whipped up huge waves that kept crashing against the boat, as if trying to swallow it up.
Pei Yan was tossed about on the boat, nearly being thrown into the sea several times.
When they finally reached the sea where the pearl was, Pei Yan jumped into the sea without hesitation.
The underwater currents were surging, and the immense pressure made it difficult for him to breathe.
Just when he was about to give up, he finally discovered the pearl oyster.
Pei Yan returned to the divine physician, covered in wounds, carrying the three treasures he had found.
When the divine physician saw Pei Yan covered in wounds, his expression softened considerably, and he sighed deeply.
"Alright, you're really sincere towards that woman. It's not that I don't want to help her, it's just that her injuries are too severe, and I'm not entirely confident I can succeed."
Upon hearing this, a hint of despair flashed in Pei Yan's eyes, but he quickly spoke firmly again.
“Miracle doctor, as long as you are willing to try your best, I will be eternally grateful no matter what the result is.”
The divine physician nodded slightly and said.
"Given your persistence, I will do my best. However, the treatment process is extremely painful, and whether she can pull through depends on her own fate."
Pei Yan clenched his fist and said.
"Xiao Xiao can definitely do it."
The miracle doctor began to treat Fang Xiaoxiao, administering acupuncture and medicine, working up a sweat.
Pei Yan stood by nervously, his heart pounding in his chest.
After some treatment, Fang Xiaoxiao's condition has temporarily stabilized, but she is still not out of danger.
Pei Yanyi took care of Fang Xiaoxiao without taking off her clothes, wiping her body, changing her medicine and feeding her soup.
He kept whispering encouraging words in Fang Xiaoxiao's ear, hoping she would wake up soon.
Days passed, and Fang Xiaoxiao remained unconscious.
Pei Yan was filled with anxiety and worry, but he never gave up hope.
Fang Xiaoxiao finally woke up. She slowly opened her eyes, looked at Pei Yan who was guarding her bedside, and smiled weakly.
