Chapter 638: The Name of the Divine Doctor

Yun Che extended three fingers and pressed them onto Su Hongbo's back, precisely locating his Tianmen, Dimeng, and Gongmen vital points. Profound energy surged in, and the condition of these three vital points soon became clear in Yun Che's mind.

Su Hongbo's three vital points had indeed been severely damaged for a long time, though not to the point of being completely crippled. After all, a century ago, Su Hongbo was already at the late stage of the Emperor-level; his vital points would not be easily destroyed. However, the injuries were "extremely severe" and long-standing, having completely blocked all three points. Merely healing them would be incredibly difficult, and unblocking them would be next to impossible.

With Yun Che's medical expertise, he could, by exerting his full effort, completely heal these three vital points with minimal risk of damaging the profound veins. However, the process would be lengthy, requiring continuous treatment for at least half a year.

However, if the vital points were unblocked first and then healed, the injuries would recover very easily under the patient's own circulating profound energy, even without external assistance. Yet, years ago, when these three vital points were merely loose, Su Hongbo's forceful attempts to unblock them failed. Now, not only were they completely blocked, but they were also severely damaged, making any direct attempt to unblock them seem utterly impossible to any profound practitioner, including the most respected divine doctors.

If Yun Che were to rely solely on his acquired medical knowledge, achieving this would be entirely impossible.

However, Yun Che possessed the Heaven Poison Pearl, a supreme profound treasure with heaven-defying power.

Under the Heaven Poison Pearl's ultimate purification power, defying medical common sense in this manner was utterly effortless for it.

"Brother Yun, how are my grandfather's vital points? Is there a solution?" Su Zhizhan asked nervously, watching Yun Che's movements with hope.

Yun Che smiled with a relaxed expression. "Don't worry, Senior Su's vital point injuries aren't as severe as you imagine. Senior Su, please relax completely, do not use any profound energy, and when you feel energy entering your profound veins shortly, do not resist it in any way."

Yun Che's words brought expressions of surprise and delight to the faces of Su Hongbo and his son. Su Hongbo chuckled, saying, "Please, do as you deem best."

Yun Che concentrated his mind, and a faint green light flickered in his left palm. Instantly, three wisps of purifying energy from the Heaven Poison Pearl, carried by Yun Che's profound energy, infused into Su Hongbo's profound veins, making precise contact with his three injured vital points.

Su Hongbo's expression had always been calm, even a bit bleak, as he knew better than anyone how severe his vital point injuries were. He had long ceased to believe they could ever heal, otherwise, he wouldn't have endured a century of suffering. But then, he suddenly trembled violently, his eyes widening dramatically. His pupils radiated extreme shock and disbelief, and his entire body began to shake uncontrollably.

Su Hongbo's reaction startled Su Xiangnan, who had almost never witnessed such intense emotional fluctuation from his father. "Father, what's happening?"

Su Hongbo turned his head, his excited lips trembling. "They're unblocked... my Tianmen, Shanmen, and Gongmen points... all of them are unblocked!"

"What??" Su Xiangnan and Su Zhizhan stood utterly astonished, unable to believe their ears. Su Xiangnan quickly stepped forward and placed his hand on Su Hongbo, carefully letting profound energy flow in. Instantly, an expression almost identical to Su Hongbo's spread across his face—one of utter disbelief.

"This... this... how is this possible?" Su Xiangnan gasped.

Healing the vital point injuries had been their greatest desire for the past century. As for unblocking all three vital points... they hadn't even dared to hope, let alone imagine it. It was simply deemed impossible.

Yet, this impossible feat was now undeniably real before their eyes.

Yun Che withdrew his hand and calmly stated, "Although the vital points are unblocked, the injuries are still present. However, with them open, these three vital points can now completely heal themselves through the nourishment of profound energy. Senior Su, for the next two months, it's best not to use more than 70% of your profound energy to avoid aggravating the injuries. After two months, you should be fully recovered."

"Two months..." Su Zhizhan murmured, his mouth agape.

"Oh, if you wish for a quicker recovery, there is, of course, a way," Yun Che added casually. "After I return, I will immediately prepare a prescription for Senior Su. You can send someone to my Yun Family tomorrow morning to collect the medicine. At that time, take one pill daily, place it on your back near the injured vital points, and use profound energy to guide the medicinal power into the vital points for about a hundred breaths. Within fifteen days, at most, you will be fully recovered."

"Fifteen... days!?" Su Zhizhan swallowed hard, his mouth widening even further. He had initially murmured "two months" because he thought that duration was incredibly short, given that Su Hongbo's vital point injuries had persisted for over a century with no solution. Yun Che, however, seemed to have interpreted it as being too long, and promptly shortened the recovery period to fifteen days.

"Nephew Yun..." Su Xiangnan's shock far surpassed his excitement. "Though I knew from your father that your medical skills were extraordinary, I never imagined... this is simply astounding, unprecedented! All the divine doctors in Demon Imperial City combined cannot compare to a single strand of your hair."

Though Su Xiangnan's words were highly exaggerated, they came straight from his heart. As a Guardian Family, the healers they could enlist were naturally the absolute best in the entire Illusory Demon Realm, truly deserving of the title "divine doctors." Yet, for a full century, countless healers were consulted and immeasurable spirit medicine and profound jade were spent, all to no avail. But Yun Che... he had directly unblocked the severely injured profound veins. This was tens of thousands of times harder than simply healing them, and the outcome was vastly different.

And he accomplished all of this in just over a dozen breaths of time.

He had no idea how Yun Che achieved this, nor would he be so tactless as to directly ask. But based solely on this result, Yun Che's mastery of the medical arts... likely far exceeded the scope of his imagination and understanding. It was no wonder that Yun Qinghong had once said Yun Che's medical attainments surpassed his profound strength.

"Clan Head Su, you flatter me," Yun Che said politely. "Senior Su is now fine. I am fortunate to have fulfilled my task, so I won't trouble you further. I bid you farewell."

"Wait!!" Hearing that Yun Che was about to leave, Su Hongbo instantly leaped off the bed and grabbed him. His previously pale face was now flushed bright red with excitement. The severe blockage in his three vital points was directly cleared, not only eradicating a century of suffering but also promising a faster profound energy cultivation rate than before. This was more than just healing his injuries; it was like receiving a new lease on life. The sensation of his profound veins being clear after a hundred years almost brought tears to his eyes.

"Little brother, you have bestowed such immense kindness upon this old man; how can you simply leave? At least allow my Su Family to express our gratitude."

"There's no need," Yun Che said with a dismissive wave of his hand. "It is my honor to have healed Senior's injuries. Moreover, for me, it was merely a simple task, hardly deserving of the words 'immense kindness.' I have many matters to attend to recently, so I won't stay long. I shall visit Senior another day... Farewell."

Yun Che bowed politely, as a junior would, then turned and left without hesitation.

Seeing Yun Che leave without lingering, Su Hongbo, though his heart was surging with intense emotion, found it difficult to press him to stay further. He solemnly roared to Yun Che's retreating back, "You haven't just healed this old man's injuries; you've saved half of this old man's life, allowing me to finally live out the rest of my days happily! Listen closely, because you saved half of this old man's life... if anyone in this Demon Imperial City dares to bully you in the future, just tell me, and I will personally dismantle their entire family!"

Su Xiangnan, standing to the side, offered a wry smile. "Father, he even managed to injure Prince Huai. His profound cultivation is likely no less than Yun Qinghong's, and the Little Demon Empress's attitude towards him is vastly different from others. Furthermore, his terrifying foresight and cunning are unparalleled, not to mention this heaven-defying medical skill... Who in this Demon Imperial City could possibly bully him?"

Su Hongbo turned his head, glared, and roared, "What are you two still doing standing here? Go see him off immediately!"

"Yes, yes..." It was as if the Su father and son had just woken from a dream; they hastily chased after Yun Che.

The very next day, Su Hongbo, who had rarely left the Su Family residence for over a century, swaggered through Demon Imperial City, visiting seven or eight old friends. He was radiant and full of vigor, looking as if he had grown centuries younger, and his hearty laughter echoed almost throughout the entire city. Simultaneously, the news that his severely injured vital points were not only healed but also completely unblocked by Yun Che's medical skill spread like wildfire across Demon Imperial City within a single day. Combined with the numerous prior rumors about Yun Che's medical prowess, his reputation as a "divine doctor" spread like a tempest throughout the city.

What followed was obvious. On the third day after his return from the Su Family, a large number of people began seeking medical treatment from the Yun Family. Those daring enough to approach the Yun Family were, naturally, of royal and noble status. Demon Imperial City was the pinnacle of the Illusory Demon Realm, and its healers were also the best in the realm. If even the divine doctors of Demon Imperial City were helpless, it usually meant a condition was incurable...

Cases like Yun Qinghong and Mu Yurou's withered profound veins, and Su Hongbo's severely injured vital points, were prime examples.

A significant portion of these new patients suffered from such "incurable" conditions, and after hearing the rumors, they hastily arrived, clinging to a sliver of hope. Yun Che, who was prepared, turned no one away. Then, regardless of whether it was an "incurable illness," an "incurable injury," or an "incurable poison," every single case improved at an astonishing rate and then recovered at an even more astonishing speed.

Without a single exception!

This left one renowned powerful figure after another dumbfounded and overwhelmed with emotion.

As for Yun Che, gratitude and profound thanks were secondary; he was almost regarded as a celestial being.

As more and more "incurable" patients were perfectly cured by Yun Che, his medical skill gradually became the stuff of legend. And indeed, it seemed there was no ailment that he could not heal. At the very least, no one had ever heard of a failed treatment from him. Furthermore, over half of these individuals had previously been declared incurable by the "foremost divine doctors" and "Medicine Kings" of Demon Imperial City.

While strong power or influence could make others indebted to you, immensely powerful medical skill could make others owe you their very lives!

What kind of place was Demon Imperial City? How densely packed were its powerful experts? And what did it mean if a significant portion of them owed Yun Che half a life, or even a full one?

Moreover, as profound practitioners, anyone could encounter severe injuries, potent poisons, or even fatal wounds, and mishaps during cultivation or breakthroughs were always a possibility. If one could establish good relations with the Yun Family, especially with Yun Che, wouldn't it be akin to gaining one... or even several death-exemption talismans?

This was a simple truth that any profound practitioner understood perfectly.

This was also the reason Yun Qinghong had intentionally allowed Yun Che's medical skills to spread.

Yun Che's medical skills were already extremely potent, further bolstered by the Heaven Poison Pearl's heaven-defying power. Although Yun Qinghong was already amazed by his son's medical abilities, within just a few days, he realized he had still severely underestimated him. No matter how terminal the illness or severe the injury, all cases readily improved and healed under Yun Che's touch. He had truly reached a realm where nothing was beyond cure!

This was enough to make someone long publicly acknowledged as the foremost divine doctor in the Illusory Demon Realm die of shame.

Yun Che, already known as the Yun Family's young master, had gained immense fame from his astonishing performance at the Demon Empress's Grand Ceremony. His return alongside the Little Demon Empress, coupled with his grave injury to Prince Huai, and now his widespread reputation as a divine doctor, meant that, without anyone realizing it, his personal renown, both within and outside Demon Imperial City, had completely surpassed that of the Twelve Clan Heads. His name had become the two most frequently mentioned words.

Even the Yun Family's prestige, as Yun Che's medical skills became legendary, ascended once more.

Eventually, wherever Yun Che went, even elders from the Guardian Families and princes from royal households would immediately take the initiative to greet him, going out of their way to show goodwill. They would never dare to show the slightest neglect or offense. While it might be considered natural to treat other juniors with less deference, neglecting Yun Che... was tantamount to risking one's own life.
