Chapter 80 – Willing to be barbaric, not to be an upper-class person

"This voice..." Su Yun's heart trembled slightly, finally feeling relieved.

His gaze fell on the tall spiritualist, silently thinking to himself, "Lin Qingsheng, the top scorer of the Shuofang Academy two years ago..."

The tall spiritualist's face changed slightly as he looked towards the approaching figure and cautiously said, "Which senior is speaking? I am indeed Lin Qingsheng from the Shuofang Academy, also the Lin Qingsheng from the Lin family of Shuofang. I am searching for the demons causing chaos in Shuofang City under the orders of the Martial God's bounty hunter."

"I certainly know about the Lin family of Shuofang. If it weren't for the fact that you are from the Lin family of Shuofang, you would already be a corpse."

The figure gradually approached and turned out to be a big-bellied middle-aged man with a round face, smiling eyes, chubby hands, and a wooden box in his hand, like an ordinary physician.

"Now the city is in chaos, with demons causing trouble everywhere. Scholars from the Shuofang Academy actually took advantage of the chaos and killed innocent people on the lower streets. If you die here, it will only be seen as being killed by demons." The round-faced physician squinted his eyes and smiled.

This physician was none other than Dong Yishi, the "ordinary physician" whom Master Tu Ming invited to treat Su Yun's injured arm on the second day he entered the Shuofang Academy.

Dong Yishi had an unremarkable appearance, but his medical skills were very exquisite. Su Yun's injured arm took ten days to heal under the treatment of Luo Dama, a famous doctor in Tianmen Town, but Dong Yishi only needed half an hour!

Lin Qingsheng's pupils contracted and he became even more cautious, smiling as he said, "We scholars work under the Martial God's bounty hunter during the holidays to earn some money. We were ordered to chase demons in the Old No-Man's Land for the sake of Shuofang City's safety."

He smiled and said, "Senior, please look, there are demons all over this street, so I suspect they come from the Old No-Man's Land, which led to the conflict..."

"Where are the demons?"

Dong Yishi was surprised, "There are clearly only people on this street. Where did the monsters come from?"

Lin Qingsheng looked around and his heart trembled. He saw that the one hundred or so demons from the Old No-Man's Land on the street had all transformed into human form, looking honest and harmless!

A spiritualist next to him took out a whistle and was about to blow it, but Lin Qingsheng flicked his finger and shattered the whistle, smiling, "Senior, this is a misunderstanding. We lost three elite scholars from the Shuofang Academy because of this misunderstanding. We will bring the bodies of the demons and scholars back to report to the bounty hunter. How about we call it even? What do you think, senior?"

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The whistle was a specially made spiritual tool by the government. As long as it was blown with blood and energy, it would sound for more than ten miles, and nearby government officials would rush over at lightning speed!

But before that, they were afraid they would all die here!

This chubby physician was unfathomable, and he was not alone. There was also a spiritualist skilled in archery hiding in the dark.

So Lin Qingsheng dared not let the spiritualist blow the whistle. If it was blown, there would be no turning back.

Dong Yishi also did not want to die in vain. He could certainly kill Lin Qingsheng and the other scholars, but once the government officials arrived, it would be out of control.

If Lin Qingsheng and the other scholars all died here, not only would the government be furious, but the Shuofang Academy would also bloodily suppress all the demons in the lower levels of Shuofang!

At that time, the lower levels of Shuofang would probably be flowing with blood!

Dong Yishi waved his hand, "Take the bodies with you."Lin Qingsheng breathed a sigh of relief and ordered someone to bring down the bodies of the three spiritual masters. Several spiritual masters went to drag out the demon that Lin Qingsheng had beheaded. Two spiritual masters walked towards the cow demon's body next to Su Yun, but Su Yun's voice was hoarse as he said, "Don't touch him."

Lin Qingsheng's eyebrows raised and he ordered, "Leave this body here."

The two spiritual masters stepped back.



Lin Qingsheng looked at Su Yun with a smile on his face and said, "Congratulations to Junior Brother Su Yun for coming in first in the exam and being admitted to the Wen Chang Academy. Junior Brother's performance in the Ten Jinxiu Diagram has made a name for himself in Shuofang and he will not be an ordinary person in the future. As your senior brother, I have a few words to say."

Su Yun's face was indifferent as he replied, "Please speak, Senior Brother."

Lin Qingsheng smiled and said, "A mature upper-class person does not hold grudges. I was just following orders and had some misunderstandings. This is just business and there are no personal grudges involved. Junior Brother, do you understand what I mean?"

Su Yun replied flatly, "Please explain, Senior Brother."

Lin Qingsheng frowned slightly and patiently explained, "There is no enmity between us, only a conflict of interests. But after tonight, we can resolve this conflict and perhaps even have opportunities for cooperation and to enjoy wine and talk about love and romance. This is what a mature upper-class person should do. Do you agree?"

"Get lost," Su Yun replied expressionlessly.

Lin Qingsheng's face turned cold as he turned and walked away, sneering, "A foolish country bumpkin!"

"Two months," Su Yun's voice rang out from behind him. Lin Qingsheng stopped and turned to look at him.

Su Yun held up two fingers and said in a hoarse but thunderous voice that echoed through the dirty streets of the lower world, "I said two months, and I will surpass your achievements by two years!"

Lin Qingsheng laughed and shook his head, saying to the other spiritual masters, "He's just a dreamer. Let's go."

Su Yun's voice exploded behind him, "Two months later, in front of the Shuofang Academy, I will kill you to avenge my fellow townsman!"

Lin Qingsheng couldn't help but get angry and replied, "You ignorant country bumpkin! Fine, two months later, in front of the academy, we will settle this and even decide life and death! Hmph!"

He waved his sleeve and left.

The group quickly flew away, and Su Yun's throat felt sweet as he coughed up blood from his lungs.

"You have injured your heart and lungs, yet you still spoke harshly and made your injuries worse," said Doctor Dong as he walked up with a small wooden box. He looked at Su Yun up and down as if he were looking at a treasure and smiled, "You are like an untamed horse, wild and free. I like your personality. But you made a mistake. You should have agreed to him."

He took out a set of silver needles and drained the blood from Su Yun's heart and lungs.

Su Yun finally felt a bit more comfortable and asked in a hoarse voice, "Sir, am I too immature? Should I have agreed to him and made peace, so that we can meet again in the future?"

Doctor Dong carefully treated him and said, "In theory, a mature upper-class person should do as he said and not hold grudges, at the very least, he should maintain a friendly appearance. But if you agreed to him, I wouldn't have treated you. I would have turned and walked away."

He smiled and said, "What I value is not smooth talkers. There are too many of them in this world. Instead, people like you, who have principles and persistence, are too rare. I used to be like you."He extracted the stagnant blood from Su Yun's body, frowned slightly, and stood up saying, "You used something like the Calamity Ash to enhance your blood? Your blood vessels and organs have been damaged, the injury is quite tricky... There's a pharmacy on this street, let's go there for a thorough treatment."

Su Yun nodded and looked at the corpse of the ox demon on the ground, feeling a sense of melancholy.

He turned over and took out all the Qinghong coins on his body, handed them to Mao Erjie, and whispered, "Erjie, help me give this money to his family. Also, two months later, please take his family to the gate of the Shuofang Academy to witness the death of their enemy."

Mao Erjie silently accepted the money, feeling a little timid, and whispered, "Xiaoyun, don't tell anyone what I'm doing in the city when you go back..."

Su Yun nodded and followed Doctor Dong towards a pharmacy at the street corner.

"Doctor Xinglin, you must cure him!" Mao Erjie shouted loudly.

Su Yun looked up and saw the sign on the pharmacy's plaque read "Xinglin Medicinal Shop." As they walked in, a strong medicinal fragrance hit their noses.

Doctor Dong flicked his finger and the Calamity Ash lamp in the medicinal shop lit up. He walked into the counter and grabbed the medicine while saying, "Zuo Fushe is a stingy old man. I can barely make ends meet with the salary he gives me. So, I opened a medicinal shop on the street to supplement my income. Most of the people on this street know me."

Su Yun's heart stirred. This was definitely not a comfortable place to live. The upper world's waste and filth were everywhere on the streets, and in the summer, it was probably like living next to a cesspool.

Moreover, this was not an easy place to make money. The people living here were all poor laborers.

Treating these people's illnesses was probably not going to earn much money, and he might even have to pay out of his own pocket.

With Doctor Dong's medical skills, he could definitely establish a reputation in the upper world of Shuofang, accumulate a fortune, and even live in a place like the Immortal's Residence!

But he chose to stay here.

This ordinary physician from the Wen Chang Academy was not ordinary.

"There's one more thing, living here is especially convenient."

Doctor Dong grabbed the medicine and put it in the medicine box. With his chubby palm, he lightly pushed a medicine cabinet, and the heavy door creaked open, revealing a secret room behind it.

Doctor Dong smiled and said, "Follow me."

Su Yun walked into the counter and followed him into the secret room of the medicinal shop. The room was very bright, with a long corridor and stained glass windows on both sides.

There was a Calamity Ash lamp every few steps, illuminating the contents of the stained glass windows.

Inside the windows were slices of brain tissue, cut extremely thin and sandwiched between two pieces of glass, revealing the most detailed structure of the brain!

"Do you know how many slices a brain can be cut into?"

Doctor Dong had a strange smile on his face, and his eyes narrowed into a slit. Without waiting for Su Yun to answer, he said, "Seven thousand slices. I got this brain and cut it into seven thousand slices, sealed them in glass to prevent decay, and studied its structure. Hehe, only through dissection can one truly understand things. All those Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism are just heretical teachings!"

Su Yun looked around and saw that the corridor was filled with brains of various sizes, probably totaling seven thousand slices!

"Don't worry, this isn't a human brain."Doctor Dong walked ahead and said, "When I was studying in the West, I had already studied the human brain. At that time, we went to dig up graves and excavated the brains of those who had just been buried... These brains belonged to an old demon from the desolate area, and I peeled off his nerves." n0vεlusB.c0m

Su Yun walked up and saw a tree-like nervous system, with thick nerves connecting countless root-like nerves, forming clusters and bunches. These nerves combined together to form a monster with four arms!

"What kind of monster is the old demon from the desolate area?" Su Yun muttered.

"It's the old desolate area," Doctor Dong corrected him. "The new desolate area cannot compare to the old one. The old desolate area is full of terrifying old monsters, some of which even fell from outside the world with the Tian Shi Yuan and are not of our world's species. That's his heart in front."

Suddenly, Su Yun's vision went black, and he quickly urged his blood to restore his sight.

He heard the thumping sound of a heartbeat in his ears, and the powerful and terrifying blood pressure made it difficult for him to breathe.

It was a system of heart and blood vessels, with thick blood vessels extending from the heart and connecting countless tiny blood vessels like cilia. He could even see the body structure of hands, feet, head, lungs, and organs from these blood vessel systems!

"This is a humanoid monster!" Su Yun exclaimed in shock.

The monster's heart was still beating, and the blood was still circulating!

"This monster must have been extremely powerful and terrifying in life... No, it should still be alive!"

Su Yun's heart was pounding, and he couldn't help but look back at the heart.

Finally, they arrived at the deepest part of the secret room. This was the secret room built in the center of the building, covering an area of about four to five acres, with more glass windows and more unimaginable things hidden inside.

Su Yun was dazzled by what he saw. Many of the collections here were the limbs of monsters, as well as their body structures. He even saw the skeleton of a Yan Shi puppet!

"You don't seem to be afraid of these things," Doctor Dong said in surprise. "You're the only one in the Wen Chang Academy who isn't afraid of me, besides Lao Piao Ba Zi. Other scholars are scared to death when they hear my name."

Su Yun smiled and said, "As the Inner Canon says, 'If the skin and flesh of an eight-foot tall man are here, they can be measured and cut to obtain them. Their death can be dissected and viewed.' "

Doctor Dong was both surprised and delighted, and followed Su Yun in reciting, "The firmness and fragility of their organs, the size of their viscera, the quantity of their food, the length of their pulses, the clarity and turbidity of their blood, the abundance and scarcity of their qi, the abundance of blood and scarcity of qi in the twelve meridians, or the abundance of both blood and qi in the meridians, all have great numbers!"

Su Yun said solemnly, "The Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor is the origin of anatomy. Anatomy is a great master of the old saints' knowledge! I see that Mr. Dong has a profound knowledge of anatomy, and what I see is the great way, the great principle of the old saint Huang Di. Why should I be afraid?"

Doctor Dong laughed heartily. "Well said, well said! I originally planned to dissect you and study you, but now that you've said that, I'm a little reluctant to do so!"
