Chapter 326 Turnaround
To this day, Li Xuan still clearly remembers what happened when he took Princess Ankang to practice for the first time.
At that time, he had just perfected the blood-slaying tiger claws and successfully broke through to the blood-coagulation realm.
At that time, on a whim, Li Xuan wanted Princess Ankang to practice the basic movements of the Ten Tiger Forms with him to enhance her physical fitness.
As a result, and because of this, Princess Ankang took the initiative to detonate the chill in her body through practice for the first time.
Li Xuan didn't know why at the time, so he just thought it was Princess Ankang's old habit reappearing, so he lay on her coldest belly to warm her up. Only then did he realize that he could absorb the coldness in Princess Ankang's body.
At this point in time, Li Xuan had just reached the Blood Coagulation Realm, and had only practiced the Ten Tiger Forms and the Blood-Slaying Tiger Claws.
In the practice of the Ten Tiger Forms, Li Xuan is no different from other ordinary warriors. Because Deng Weixian can be used as a reference, this can be easily concluded.
But when it came time to practice the blood-slaying tiger claws, something different began to happen.
For some reason that is still unknown, Li Xuan can purify the blood evil in Linhu's essence and blood, and then absorb it into his body and become part of his own power.
Although this process can now be replicated through the cold breath in his body, when Li Xuan absorbed Linhu's essence and blood for the first time, there was no cold breath in his body.
In other words, there were other reasons that allowed Li Xuan to purify the blood evil in Linhu's essence and blood.
When the Linhu blood essence and blood purified by Li Xuan is absorbed by others, it will no longer cause severe pain, and there is no danger of people going crazy, and it will be easier to absorb.
Deng Weixian can also verify this.
In this case, if innate factors such as race are not considered, in the process of acquired cultivation, it is only in the essence and blood of Linhu that Li Xuan is obviously different from other ordinary practitioners.
"Could it be that the collision of Linhu's essence and blood between me is the cause of all this unusualness?"
"Is it because of the blood evil I absorbed into my body?"
"Is it because the essence and blood of Linhu come from the far north tundra?"
"The Far North Tundra is very close to Beiliang, Concubine Xiao's hometown."
"Is there a connection between this?"
One guess after another flashed through Li Xuan's mind, but in the end he still couldn't determine which one was the real reason why he could help Princess Ankang absorb the chill in her body.
When the others saw Li Xuan thinking seriously, no one interrupted him, but quietly waited for him to come to the final conclusion.
After thinking for a long time, Li Xuan wrote his guess on paper.
After seeing the writing on the paper, Doctor Xue immediately fell into thinking again and murmured to himself:
"Linhu Essence and Blood?"
"You guess it's because of the blood evil you absorbed in the tiger essence and blood, or the tiger essence and blood also coming from the north is related to Princess Ankang's constitution."
Regarding the two guesses raised by Li Xuan, Imperial Physician Xue nodded:
"It's possible, but we can't verify it yet."
Imperial Physician Xue still knew something about Linhu Essence and Blood.
After he came to Ouchi as an imperial physician, he deliberately inquired about many heavenly materials and earthly treasures that would be used in cultivation.
These heavenly materials and earthly treasures actually contain medical principles, so they have a wonderful effect on the human body in improving cultivation.
As for the famous Linhu Essence and Blood, Imperial Physician Xue had naturally heard of it.
Linhu Essence and Blood is the most common method used by Zhao Feng's lineage to cultivate core newcomers. It is claimed that it can allow an ordinary person to enter the martial arts in the shortest possible time.
But Doctor Xue had also heard that there were actually considerable risks involved.
But now, according to Li Xuan, by purifying the blood evil in Linhu's blood, all the risks can be eliminated.
"Now that's fun!"
Doctor Xue's eyes flashed, as if he had discovered some rare treasure, and he stared straight at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, so he quickly wrote:
"How about it?"
"Have you thought of anything?"
In this regard, Li Xuan already believed in the judgment of Dr. Xue.
Through all the previous events, Doctor Xue had already proven his ability to the three little ones.
If Princess Ankang wants to regain her health in the future, the help of Imperial Physician Xue will be indispensable.
Moreover, Li Xuanneng could tell that Dr. Xue was very interested in Princess Ankang's physical problems.
"Do you still have tiger essence and blood here?"
Li Xuan nodded, and then took out a jar of Tiger Essence and Blood that he had previously obtained from Manager Shang from the Emperor Hong Bone Ring.
This was originally used for the cat bullies to practice their blood-slaying tiger claws.
Doctor Xue was not polite and opened the jar directly, smelling the unique aroma of Linhu's essence and blood.
He took a drop from the jar and put it on his fingertips, and instantly felt a biting coldness.
"Has this tiger essence and blood been purified from blood evil?"
Li Xuan nodded.
Doctor Xue took out a small medicine bottle from his arms, and then said to Li Xuan:
"Give me some and I'll go back and study it."
It is about Princess Ankang's life, so Li Xuan will naturally not be stingy on this point.
After getting Li Xuan's permission, Doctor Xue took out his professional equipment, took a little Linhu essence and blood from the jar and stored it in his own medicine bottle.
"I will go back and study the issue of Linhu's essence and blood. If there is any progress, I will tell you."
After receiving Doctor Xue's promise, the three little ones felt a lot more relieved.
It is always right to leave professional matters to professionals.
For things that Li Xuan couldn't figure out, perhaps Dr. Xue could get a more reliable answer through his own medical theory.
It's better than them sitting here making random guesses.
"Why can you help His Highness absorb the cold? Let's put this aside for now."
"What's more urgent now is that the chill in His Highness's body is getting stronger and stronger. If one day you are unable to help His Highness absorb the stronger chill, both His Highness's and your lives will be in danger."
That's right, this is also one of their biggest headaches right now.
As Li Xuan's cultivation level continues to improve, the speed of his cultivation will inevitably slow down.
As for the chill in Princess Ankang's body, until today, its speed of getting stronger has not slowed down significantly.
If things go on like this, the speed at which these two sides cannot align will definitely cause problems.
"You also know that I am just a doctor and can't give you any useful help in your cultivation."
Doctor Xue wrote with a hint of regret.
At this point, Li Xuan had no unrealistic expectations.
He invited Dr. Xue over today, not even expecting him to see some of Princess Ankang's physical problems. He just wanted to use Dr. Xue's name to make Princess Ankang appear in front of others with a healthier image.
It can be said that today's harvest far exceeded Li Xuan's initial expectations.
He didn't expect that Doctor Xue was so capable. No wonder he could judge early that Princess Ankang was hopeless and gave her an expected lifespan.
What's even more fortunate is that Dr. Xue is very interested in Princess Ankang's physical problems and can be a big help to them.
At this time, Doctor Xue continued to write:
"But maybe I can be of some help while you soak up the chill."
Seeing this sentence, Li Xuan looked at Doctor Xue in surprise.
Doctor Xue immediately explained:
"Although I have some ideas, I still have to actually try them to know the effect."
"In this way, the next time you absorb the cold for His Highness, remember to inform me in advance and I will come over then."
"Whether it's useful or not, it's also very important to me to observe the process of you absorbing the chill for His Highness."
Li Xuan couldn't help but take a deep look at Doctor Xue.
To be honest, he never thought that Doctor Xue would be involved to this extent.
"You don't have to look at me like that, I know what I'm doing."
"There are many people in the palace who hope that His Highness will continue to be ill, or even die directly."
"But I don't care about this. As long as you can let me participate in this matter, we can help each other."
"As you can see, at my age, I don't have many years left to live."
"My only hope is that I can complete my medical book in my lifetime and pass it on so that I will have no regrets in my life."
After Li Xuan read these words written by Imperial Physician Xue, he didn't say much, but simply wrote two sentences:
"If I find out that you have evil intentions, I will kill everyone you care about."
"no sooner said than done!"
Doctor Xue knew very well who Li Xuan was referring to, but he quickly nodded.
He had no evil intentions, so he naturally didn't need to care about Li Xuan's threats.
Dr. Xue believed that he behaved upright and did not do anything bad, so naturally he was not afraid of ghosts knocking on his door.
Even if this matter is settled, Doctor Xue and Sanxiao have only reached a preliminary intention of cooperation.
As for the specifics, it depends on the future.
…
After a long time, the door was opened again.
Yu'er sent Doctor Xue out.
Zhao Feng, who had been waiting in the yard for a long time, saw that Doctor Xue had finally come out and hurriedly got up to greet him.
"Mr. Xue, how's it going?"
Although Zhao Feng was quite dissatisfied with Dr. Xue's attitude before, he still hoped that Dr. Xue could do something about Princess Ankang's condition.
After all, Li Xuan and Princess Ankang are now deeply bound. If Princess Ankang dies prematurely, it will not be a good thing for Daxing.
It will take them a long time to build enough trust with Li Xuan.
Until then, Princess Ankang must continue to be the link between Daxing and Li Xuan.
Li Xuan has proven his potential time and time again. As long as he is given enough time to grow, it will definitely be a worthwhile investment.
Of course, this was Zhao Fengming's reason for confronting Emperor Yongyuan, and it is unknown whether he had any selfish motives in it.
“It’s somewhat effective, but it’s still very ineffective.”
Doctor Xue told Zhao Feng the speech that he had discussed with San Xiaozhi before.
"With my efforts, Your Highness can become healthier. After some time, it won't be a problem to get rid of the shackles of the wheelchair."
After hearing this, Zhao Feng couldn't help but look happy. This is great news.
But then, Doctor Xue changed the subject:
"But in terms of longevity, it may not help."
The smile on Zhao Feng's face suddenly froze, and then he asked in confusion:
"Why?"
"Isn't His Highness able to recover?"
"Is it still impossible to break the deadlock?"
Doctor Xue shook his head:
"At least I can't do anything about it now."
Zhao Feng's eyelids drooped, and after thinking for a moment, he turned to look at Yu'er beside him.
"Yu'er, you go back and accompany His Highness. I'll just send Doctor Xue back."
Yu'er nodded and followed Zhao Feng's instructions to go back to the house to accompany Princess Ankang.
Doctor Xue's expression remained unchanged, he stood still and kept twirling his beard.
After Yu'er returned to the house, Zhao Feng took Imperial Physician Xue directly out of Jingyang Palace.
As soon as he came outside, Zhao Feng took Imperial Physician Xue directly to a secluded place.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Doctor Xue blinked twice, looked at Zhao Feng strangely, and then said:
"What's going on?"
"Didn't I make everything clear to you before?"
"Your Highness may be healthier, but I guess he still won't live past the age of eighteen."
Doctor Xue did not dare to say that Princess Ankang's life expectancy is now shorter than before.
If he said that, at least Zhao Feng would probably not let him continue to treat Princess Ankang.
"What's the explanation?"
Zhao Feng humbly asked for advice.
"I can't explain medical matters to you."
Doctor Xue was rude to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in front of him.
Zhao Feng's eyes widened with anger. If it had been anyone else, he would have given him a taste of his power.
But Imperial Physician Xue had a special status in the palace, and even Emperor Yongyuan had to give him three points.
Medical skills are different from martial arts. With Imperial Physician Xue's strength, Zhao Feng could easily crush him to death, but his medical skills are needed by everyone, even Zhao Feng.
"Not to mention that even I haven't figured out what your highness's problem is."
At this time, Doctor Xue added another sentence.
"I'm just looking for a way now so that His Highness won't be in as much pain as before."
"I will tell you the truth about this matter. I don't know if His Highness can be rescued."
"But His Highness's situation is crucial to my research."
"Whoever stops me will be the one I'm in trouble with!"
Doctor Xue said this, Zhao Feng couldn't help but angrily pointed at him and said angrily:
"you!?"
"What are you!"
Imperial Physician Xue was not afraid of Zhao Feng at all, and took a step forward in response to his finger:
"You also know about my medical book. Even you can't stop me!"
Dr. Xue has been in the palace for many years. In order to recruit Dr. Xue, Daxing promised to help him complete the medical book. Unfortunately, after so many years, the book has not been completed.
It wasn't that Daxing went back on his word and failed to keep his promise, but that Doctor Xue was still confused about his own medical skills.
Now that he has finished it in a hurry, he will definitely be able to write a classic medical work that can be passed down to the world.
But Doctor Xue has always insisted that this is not the limit of what he can do. He feels that he has touched the layer of film that restricts him, and he only needs to grit his teeth to break through to a new level.
That was the best time for him to complete his medical book.
But even Doctor Xue himself didn't expect that more than ten years would pass by just by gritting his teeth.
Doctor Xue said his harsh words and then walked away without giving Zhao Feng any face.
Zhao Feng was so angry that his face was cloudy and uncertain, and finally he sent a message to the departing figure of Imperial Physician Xue:
"I will report this matter to His Majesty. If you cannot guarantee His Highness's safety, I guarantee that you will not be able to step into Jingyang Palace again."
Doctor Xue stopped, turned around and asked Zhao Feng:
"Do you think I will ruin this hard-won opportunity with my own hands?"
Zhao Feng was choked by Doctor Xue.
Seeing that Zhao Feng didn't say anything more, Doctor Xue turned around and left coolly.
Just the moment he turned around, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
From beginning to end, Imperial Physician Xue never lied to Zhao Feng.
Even if the head of the Internal Affairs Bureau was extremely observant, he would definitely not be able to detect anything wrong from his reaction.
Doctor Xue silently raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance. Thinking back on everything that happened in Jingyang Palace before, he couldn't help but secretly thought:
"The auspiciousness coming from heaven is indeed true."
No matter what meaning Li Xuan meant to others, for Imperial Physician Xue, Li Xuan's appearance did bring a turning point.
Without this turning point, I'm afraid that Dr. Xue might have died in depression.
He thought of the mysterious black cat in Jingyang Palace, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart:
"Ah Xuan..."
