Chapter 1937: 2036 Seems Really Impressive

"I am Gu Qingyang. May I ask the two seniors your honored surnames?" Gu Qingyang cupped his hands, asking with a serious expression.

"This old man’s surname is Wu, and this old man’s surname is Zhou." The two, Wu and Zhou, spoke with their noses tilted toward the sky.

"Wu... Zhou..." Gu Qingyang and the others silently repeated the names, falling into thought.

"Could it be that you two are Senior Wu Yazi, famed as Dan Hand Rejuvenation, and Senior Zhou Jilin, the Ghost Doctor Saint Heart?" Suddenly, the Tang Family Master seemed to recall something and abruptly widened his eyes.

"Count it as you having some knowledge; you’ve actually heard of the titles of us two old fellows." Wu and Zhou stroked their white beards, quite pleased with themselves.

Dan Hand Rejuvenation, Ghost Doctor Saint Heart—what grand titles! Han Yan thought it over, but unfortunately had absolutely no impression.

"Could it be that what you two just used was the legendary Nine Revolutions Qiankun Heaven and Earth Divine Needle Technique!" Tang Feng obviously didn’t have the leisure to explain their background to Han Yan and instead asked, excitedly pursuing the topic.

"Correct." Seeing their excited expressions, Wu and Zhou were even more smug. They raised their chins and shot Han Yan a glance, their expression all the more contemptuous.

"Master Priest, Senior Wu and Senior Zhou are the most renowned medical and Alchemy Dao masters of the Life God Temple over the past few hundred years. My father and the Pang Family Head’s father both once made a special trip to the Life God Temple to study medical arts and Alchemy Dao under these two masters. By that reckoning, we should actually be treating Master Wu with the courtesy due from disciples." The Tang Family Master noticed the off look in Wu and Zhou’s eyes when they glanced at Han Yan and, afraid that Master Priest would be angered, hurriedly introduced their backgrounds.

Though Wu and Zhou had quite the background, Master Priest’s temper was even bigger. Even Zhao Xinggu, the Penalty Priest of the Life God Temple, had almost been executed on the spot by her. If they provoked her wrath, these two Divine Doctors might not meet a good end. No matter how formidable a medical art is, if someone runs you through with a sword, you won’t be able to heal yourself back to life.

They were clearly frightened by Han Yan’s thunderous methods and didn’t understand her temperament. Han Yan’s heart was not as narrow as they imagined, nor was she a bloodthirsty person, but when facing those who deserved death, she would never be soft-hearted.

Beside them, Gao Jien stood with his mouth agape, his face full of shock and confusion; he clearly had no idea the two doctors he had tied up and brought here had such a grand background.

"I did not know the two Divine Doctors would grace us with your presence. As Master Priest, I have been remiss; I ask the two of you to forgive me." Han Yan was also a bit surprised at their background and spoke politely.

She had great respect for those with real talent and genuine learning and didn’t feel that her face was being compromised. In fact, due to her childhood experiences, she herself had very little concept of strict hierarchies of status and treated everyone equally. Back in Heishi City, she’d been mocked and ridiculed for disregarding identity and making friends with all sorts of people from the "three teachings and nine classes."

"Forget it. Since you didn’t know our identities, it can’t really be called discourtesy." Seeing that Han Yan’s attitude was fairly respectful, the two no longer put on a sour face and waved their hands as they spoke.

"However, Master Priest, you’ve attained a high position at a young age, so your words and actions cannot be too casual. Otherwise, if people believe you to be a youth who has become successful early and is arrogant and ignorant, wouldn’t that ruin your reputation?"

"Exactly. The two of us have devoted our lives to the study of medicine, yet even when faced with Gao Weihu’s injuries we are helpless. Though we also know that if one were to use the strongest power to refine and absorb, or devour and dissolve that force within his mental state and soul, his injuries would naturally be healed, actually doing it is nowhere near so easy. That is why we had no choice but to use the Nine Revolutions Qiankun Heaven and Earth Divine Needle Technique to Seal his Divine Soul. And you actually think it’s simple—does that mean we’ve wasted a whole lifetime studying medicine? If these words were to spread, what would others think of you?" But then, the two shifted their tone, scolding her, very much with the air of relying on their seniority.

"But it really does sound quite simple." Han Yan muttered.

The saying goes that learning has no boundary. Han Yan respected these two Divine Doctors, but she could not agree with their self-important, elder-posing manner. More importantly, according to their description, Gao Weihu would most likely be dragged along like this until he died. Since she believed she had a chance to heal him, she naturally had to argue her case.

Still, she was not truly proficient in the medical Dao of the Divine Continent. What she had learned from the Book Collection Hall was still just theory on paper, so she did not dare act rashly. She still needed to listen more to these two’s insights and then carefully think and verify them herself, so her words remained very courteous and even carried a bit of pretend-ignorant foolishness.

Otherwise, if she came out swinging in anger from the start, they might well rely on their status and refuse to say much to her at all.

As expected, that soft mutter of Han Yan’s, spoken in a low voice, did not provoke much displeasure from Wu Yazi and Zhou Jilin; it only made the look in their eyes toward her hold even more of a "hating iron for not becoming steel" meaning.

"Do you know what that power actually is? You must understand that on the Divine Continent, the Power of Laws mutually generate and restrain. If the Power of Laws you cultivate happens to restrain that force and is far stronger than it, you can indeed dissolve it in one stroke. But if it happens to mutually generate with it, it could be like adding fuel to the fire. At that point, not even our Divine Needle Technique could preserve his life." Wu Yazi admonished.

"What’s more, based on our experience, that power very likely does not belong to the Divine Continent at all, but comes from the Nine Heavens Star Power beyond the Divine Continent, or is some kind of virulent poison we still don’t understand. What do you have that could restrain it? If it were truly as simple as you imagine, would we have had to drag things out until now?" Zhou Jilin also scolded along.

"You two seniors are certain?" Han Yan’s spirit lifted as she asked.

Fearing she might damage Gao Weihu’s Divine Sense, she had not dared probe too deeply into the depths of his mental state when examining his injuries just now, so she didn’t have much understanding of that force. If things were really as Wu and Zhou said, she could completely set her mind at ease—and would even have a pleasant surprise.

One must know that for her Heavenly Heart Technique, the best cultivation resources were not the Heaven and Earth Power of the Holy Continent, but precisely the Nine Heavens Star Power. It could even refine poisonous elements, and her Chaos Heavenly Fire had originally come from the Source of Ten Thousand Flames of another Plane and was said to be able to burn all things under heaven.

Whether that strange power in Gao Weihu’s body was Nine Heavens Star Power or some toxin, since it had never been able to take his life and only could not be dissolved due to differing Laws, then by nature it absolutely wasn’t too strong. With her Heavenly Heart Technique plus Chaos Heavenly Fire, she ought to be able to deal with it no matter what.

"We cannot be entirely certain, but we are eight or nine tenths sure." Wu Yazi and Zhou Jilin said, full of self-confidence.

With that, the two lifted the tea that Tang Feng’s two grand-disciples had brought, took a small sip, and looked at Han Yan with arrogant expressions, as if saying: Now you know how serious this is, don’t you? Now you see how wildly ignorant your earlier words were, don’t you...
