Chapter 2813: High Aims but Low Skills

"You're not dead yet, but you're not far from it. With this acupuncture technique of mine, your tainted blood power has been suppressed to seventy percent. However, the consequence of this suppression is that once it erupts again, you'll die an even uglier death."

Ye Yuan was not exaggerating.

His acupuncture technique could only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

In fact, it was no different in essence from the suppression methods of the Extreme Medicine Sect.

The only difference was that it was more sophisticated than the Extreme Medicine Sect's methods.

It sounded like there was no real distinction.

But the celestial physicians present were already stunned beyond words.

Over ninety percent of the tainted blood had been suppressed to seventy percent!

Since the great war with the blood clan, no one in the entire Tai Ming Yu Wan Heaven had ever achieved this!

Moreover, Qiao Yiping had previously been poisoned by tainted blood, which was later suppressed by the True Spirit Blood of the Ultimate Medicine Sect.

Now that it has erupted again, it can be said to be fiercer than a tiger.

Yet, Ye Yuan still managed to save him!

They thought that Ye Yuan's acupuncture technique could only control the spread of the tainted blood, never imagining that it could directly suppress it back.

At this moment, many of the celestial physicians present felt a sense of shame.

"Thank you, Master Ye, for saving me!" Zhao Chen said gratefully from the side.

Ye Yuan said, "Don't rush to thank me. It's still unknown whether we can find a way to counter the tainted blood poison. Wait until the scourge is truly resolved before thanking me!"

Zhao Chen shook his head and said, "The fact that Master Ye is willing to help is already more than I could ask for! Qiao Yiping, why haven't you thanked Master Ye yet!"

Qiao Yiping quickly said, "Thank... thank you, Master Ye, for repaying enmity with kindness and saving my life!"

Among those who had mocked Ye Yuan that day was Qiao Yiping.

So when he saw that it was Ye Yuan who came to his rescue, he was immediately ashamed beyond words.

Ye Yuan nodded, accepting this, then turned to Zhao Chen and said, "Go and gather the soldiers most severely afflicted by the blood poison and bring them here."

"Yes!" By now, Zhao Chen was completely convinced by Ye Yuan and immediately went to carry out the order.

Xiao Shan was also extremely shocked by Ye Yuan's skill, but his eyes flickered uncertainly.

He was tempted by this extraordinary acupuncture technique!

Dao Chen and many members of the Ultimate Medicine Sect were equally tempted.

Soon, Qiao Yiping was carried away, and another wounded soldier under Zhao Chen's command was brought before Ye Yuan.

"Put away any stray thoughts. You only have a few days! After this crisis passes, I will pass on the 'Xuanji Nine Leaves' to you." Ye Yuan said while applying the needles, his back to Xiao Shan and the others.

At these words, Xiao Shan doubted his own ears.

Was Ye Yuan simply giving away such an incredible acupuncture technique?

Was this guy deliberately stalling for time?

Just as he was lost in thought, Ye Yuan slowly added, "In times of crisis, we should set aside sectarian biases. The 'Xuanji Nine Leaves' is indeed a supreme acupuncture technique, but no matter how strong I am, I can only save a limited number of people. It's better to teach it to others, so that more comrades can be saved."

Hearing this, Xiao Shan wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

Compared to Ye Yuan, they were too shallow, too narrow-minded!

Indeed, if Ye Yuan had any ulterior motives, after suffering such great injustice before, he would never have stepped forward.

But not only did he step forward, he also turned the tide and saved the Tianyi army.

Soon, the power of the stars shone again.

After treating patients continuously for five days and five nights, saving dozens of the most critical cases, Ye Yuan did not rest at all.

Some of the celestial physicians observing from the side were already drowsy.

But since the one applying the needles hadn't rested, they naturally felt embarrassed to rest.

Many silently cursed Ye Yuan for being inhuman—wasn't he tired at all?

Applying needles was a delicate task requiring extreme precision.

Within the human body, even the slightest deviation could lead to very serious consequences.

Thus, rest was necessary.

But five days passed, and Ye Yuan had not made a single mistake.

Even Xiao Shan, a true Son of Heaven, could not accomplish such a feat.

Finally, Ye Yuan exhaled a turbid breath and stood up.

"Have you learned it?" Ye Yuan looked at Xiao Shan and asked.

Xiao Shan nodded, confident: "Ninety percent! With just a couple more days of practice, the remaining ten percent will naturally fall into place!"

Ye Yuan then looked at Dao Chen and said, "What about you?"

Dao Chen said, "Seventy percent!"

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Those who feel they can reach seventy percent, step forward."

After he spoke, ten Celestial Physicians stepped forward in succession.

All ten were from the Ultimate Medicine Sect.

"I have already taught you all the formulas and key points. Now, you will perform the acupuncture! But let me be clear beforehand: lives are at stake. Only claim what you can truly do; do not puff yourself up to appear impressive! Otherwise, you will face military discipline!" Toward the end, Ye Yuan's voice turned cold.

"Master Ye, you underestimate the Ultimate Medicine Sect too much! Even the weakest disciple of the Ultimate Medicine Sect can outshine peers of the same rank! The Profound Mechanism Nine Leaves is indeed formidable, but this acupuncture technique of yours is not difficult. For us, it is more than enough!" Dao Chen said with full confidence.

Disciples of a sovereign-level sect were absolute elites even across the heavens.

Across the entire Thirty-Three Heavens, sovereign-level sects could be counted on one hand.

Their pride was thus understandable.

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Very well, step forward and perform the acupuncture!"

For Xiao Shan and the other six-grade Celestial Physicians, Ye Yuan was naturally at ease.

But for the five-grade Celestial Physicians, he was truly a bit uneasy.

A healer has a benevolent heart; failing to cure is one thing, but causing death is a grave matter!

Soon, Xiao Shan and the others began to perform the acupuncture.

Within the tent, stars flickered!

Among them, Xiao Shan's star power was the strongest.

For these disciples of the Ultimate Medicine Sect, life after defeat had not been easy.

Thus, they were also in urgent need of an opportunity to wash away the sect's disgrace.

Now was clearly a perfect opportunity.

Xiao Shan performed with particular vigor!

As a six-grade Celestial Physician, his insight and learning ability were far beyond those of a five-grade Celestial Physician.

Over these five days, he had mentally rehearsed countless times.

Moreover, with Master Ye as a model, he was naturally more confident.

When a six-grade Celestial Physician made his move, it was naturally extraordinary.

Xiao Shan also intended to show off a bit, hoping to restore the sect's reputation.

For a time, the brilliance of the others was overshadowed by him.

Even the star power Ye Yuan had drawn in could not compare to his.

"Master Xiao Shan is truly worthy of being the military physician commander and a six-grade Celestial Physician! In just five days, he has cultivated this technique to such a level—impressive!"

"Master Dao Chen is also remarkable; he is only a five-grade Celestial Physician, and his future prospects are limitless!"

"The Ultimate Medicine Sect is indeed the Ultimate Medicine Sect; such profound heritage is beyond compare!"

...

As soon as the Ultimate Medicine Sect disciples made their move, exclamations of admiration arose.

Not only Xiao Shan, but the skills of the other Ultimate Medicine Sect disciples were also astonishing.

But watching Xiao Shan perform the acupuncture, Ye Yuan's expression turned peculiar.

Ninety percent?

Is this how you brag?

Or were all members of the Ultimate Medicine Sect so ambitious but lacking in ability?
