Chapter 349: I Do Not Know

His Majesty Mo Tianxue, King of Tianwu Kingdom!

“Did you say someone in the Physicians' Guild challenged the Guild Leader and even solved nineteen problems on the Wall of Dilemmas?”

He stared intently, his face filled with disbelief.

The Physicians' Guild's Wall of Dilemmas contained medical puzzles that had remained unsolved for unknown years. Even a four-star physician would struggle to solve them all at once. Yet, some unknown individual not only completed the challenge but consecutively solved nineteen problems, each with perfect solutions...

This was simply astounding!

“Absolutely true!” a grey-robed figure standing below replied, respectfully cupping his fists.

The grey-robed figure, whose aura was indistinct, was actually a Grandmaster realm expert.

Anyone familiar with the kingdom's history would know this was the Tianwu Kingdom's most mysterious guard unit—the Shadow Guards!

The Shadow Guards were personally controlled by Mo Tianxue, secretly carrying out clandestine missions.

Such a major event at the Physicians' Guild fell within their investigative scope, ensuring His Majesty the King received the news immediately.

“To be able to solve the ailments on the Wall of Dilemmas so quickly and provide perfect prescriptions, this person's medical expertise must have reached at least four-star, or even five-star!”

Mo Tianxue clenched his fists.

“Indeed, if such profound medical skill could be used by the kingdom, it would certainly be able to resolve any hidden ailments that arise during cultivation, perhaps even allowing Your Majesty to break through to that realm in one go!”

The grey-robed figure replied, cupping his fists.

“Excellent!” Mo Tianxue's eyes lit up. He quickly looked over. “Have you investigated who it is?”

No cultivation technique is flawless; practicing them inevitably leads to various hidden ailments.

While these ailments wouldn't be life-threatening or affect one's strength, they could trap a cultivator at a certain level, preventing further advancement.

If such hidden ailments could be cured, it might allow one's cultivation to advance further.

Of course, this was only a possibility, as physicians merely treat illnesses and are not master teachers who guide breakthroughs. Nevertheless, curing these hidden ailments would certainly increase longevity and vitality.

Such an ability would be irresistible to anyone.

“It has been thoroughly investigated. It's... a newly recruited teacher from Tianwu Academy named Liu Cheng! He's a twenty-four-year-old ordinary teacher who successfully passed the examination at the Quanhai City Teacher Guild, with an initial-stage Tongxuan realm cultivation, and previously taught for a year at Quanhai Academy. Your Majesty, here is his file!”

The grey-robed figure finished speaking and handed over a piece of paper.

To uncover Liu Cheng's identity so quickly and retrieve all his information was indeed worthy of the formidable Shadow Guards!

“Hmm!” Mo Tianxue took the paper and lowered his gaze to read it.

The paper was densely covered with Liu Cheng's detailed information.

One had to admit, the identity crafted by the Master Teacher Pavilion was truly remarkable; it had no flaws whatsoever. Even the Shadow Guards could only uncover this much.

“I never imagined an ordinary teacher from Quanhai City would possess such superb medical skills! Go prepare an extra set of the gifts I prepared for Master Teacher Zhang Xuan. As soon as he leaves the Wall of Dilemmas, I will pay him a visit!”

“Gifts for Master Teacher Zhang?” The grey-robed figure was momentarily stunned.

As a trusted confidant, he knew how valuable the gifts prepared for Master Teacher Zhang were.

“Indeed. Such a genius can already rival Master Teacher Zhang, and perhaps even be of greater use to us than Master Teacher Zhang!” Mo Tianxue said.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” the grey-robed figure nodded.

“Let's go, accompany me to the Physicians' Guild!” With that, Mo Tianxue no longer hesitated, stepping out.

At Tianwu Academy, Dean Xie sat in his courtyard, a gloomy expression on his face.

Being rebuked by a newly arrived teacher would be extremely embarrassing for anyone.

“Dean, Dean...”

Just as he was pondering how to suppress his anger, an elder rushed over.

“What's wrong?”

Dean Xie frowned.

“That… Teacher Liu went to the Physicians' Guild and is challenging the Wall of Dilemmas!” the elder said.

“Challenging the Wall of Dilemmas? And Guild Leader Mu Hong? Is that fellow out of his mind?” Dean Xie swayed, nearly fainting.

Why isn't he teaching properly? What's he doing at the Physicians' Guild? Most importantly... challenging their Wall of Dilemmas and the Guild Leader, isn't that madness?!

“He truly is troublesome, but this fellow does have some talent and will be a pillar of the academy in the future. Nothing must happen to him!”

Although the other party had embarrassed him, as fellow teachers, if anything happened, he still had to intervene. “Bring me my visiting card. I'll go visit Guild Leader Mu Hong now and ask him to overlook it for my sake!”

“No, challenging the Wall of Dilemmas is tantamount to challenging the Guild Leader's position. Guild Leader Mu Hong won't let it go so easily... How about this: we go to the Master Teacher Pavilion and find Hall Master Jiang. If he steps in, it should be better!”

Instantly, after considering the repercussions of the situation, Dean Xie stood up, ready to rush to the Master Teacher Pavilion.

“Ahem, ahem... Dean, don't be so anxious. Let me finish...”

He had only spoken a sentence, yet the Dean had reacted so strongly, not letting him get a word in, making him feel quite frustrated.

“What's the use of saying so much? I know Guild Leader Mu Hong's temper; he'll definitely be furious if challenged! Although Teacher Liu is a bit arrogant, he is, after all, a member of our Tianwu Academy. Nothing must happen to him, otherwise, where would my academy's face be put?”

Dean Xie waved his hand dismissively and stepped out the door.

He had only taken two steps when the elder blocked him.

“Dean, please let me finish...”

The elder was bewildered.

Why are you so agitated? Can't you just let me finish what I'm saying?

“Speak! Don't tell me... it's already too late, and he's already been taught a lesson by Guild Leader Mu Hong!” Seeing the elder so anxious, an ominous premonition arose in Dean Xie's mind, and his heart sank.

“No, it's not that. Rather... Teacher Liu has consecutively solved nineteen problems on the Wall of Dilemmas and provided perfect prescriptions... The entire Physicians' Guild is now in an uproar!”

Fearing the Dean would continue to jump to conclusions, the elder quickly explained.

“Solved nineteen problems on the Wall of Dilemmas? Provided perfect prescriptions...” Dean Xie paused, then finally reacted, his eyes widening as if they might pop out. “You mean... Teacher Liu has already broken Physician Mu Hong's record and become the Physicians' Guild's new Guild Leader?”

“Yes...”

The elder gave a wry smile.

When he had just heard the news, he too felt as if he had gone mad, his expression no better than Dean Xie's.

“This... this... how is this possible?”

Dean Xie stood frozen on the spot.

While the outside world was once again thrown into an uproar, Zhang Xuan, inside the Physicians' Hall, was completely unaware. He was currently focused on the last problem on the Wall of Dilemmas.

Although he could only identify flaws and not provide direct answers, medical conditions differed from other professions.

When the human body falls ill, it means there are problems, defects, or loopholes. As long as these are identified, it's very easy to trace and resolve the issue.

Because of this, the first nineteen complicated medical problems, which were unsolvable for others, were incredibly easy for him. He didn't even ponder for long before providing the answers.

“Congenital muscular atrophy: lack of physical strength, lifespan less than twenty years. How to treat and resolve it!”

The last problem, carved onto the wall, was a single, short sentence that appeared deceptively simple.

“Congenital muscular atrophy?”

With a thought, a book appeared in his mind.

The Master Teacher Pavilion had collected numerous professional books. As physicians were among the top professions, many related texts were included, and fortunately, there was an introduction to this very illness.

“Congenital muscular atrophy: muscle atrophy, no growth. Individuals born with this condition can only lie flat in bed, unable to move, let alone cultivate...”

The book merely introduced the condition, offering no solution.

“Is there a way to solve it? Flaws!”

He touched the wall with his finger, and with a thought, his consciousness moved.

A book appeared in his sea of consciousness.

“Congenital muscular atrophy: weakened muscle strength. Flaws: damaged congenital meridians...”

The book meticulously detailed the flaws of congenital muscular atrophy, including the damaged meridians, acupoints, and body parts.

“This...”

After reading for a moment, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but be surprised. “This illness is actually the opposite of the Heaven's Path Golden Body?”

He had never heard of this condition before, but knowing its flaws, he realized it was precisely the same as the areas targeted by the Heaven's Path Golden Body cultivation.

In other words, by utilizing the cultivation method of the Heaven's Path Golden Body, this illness could likely be easily cured.

“The Heaven's Path Golden Body cannot be revealed. However, this might be the key to the physician's examination. If I don't pass, I might not be able to become a true physician...”

He rubbed his forehead.

He didn't realize he had intruded upon the Wall of Dilemmas; he still thought this was a normal step in the physician's examination.

“Since these are the areas with flaws, simply nourishing them with zhenqi should also cure it. I don't necessarily have to use the Heaven's Path Golden Body cultivation method!”

After a moment of hesitation, he suddenly slapped his forehead.

All this time, he had seen himself purely as a cultivator, thinking about self-treatment. In reality, illnesses could be cured entirely by external means.

As long as he wrote down these flaws and specified the method of zhenqi conditioning, without detailing the sequence of zhenqi circulation, it would be akin to using the Heaven's Path Golden Body technique without directly divulging it.

After all, in cultivation, the method of technique circulation was the most crucial aspect.

“Good!”

Having determined the treatment method, he casually picked up a brush and wrote it down on the wall.

“This last one... there's probably no hope of completing it!”

Standing before the entrance of the Physicians' Hall, Physician Mu Hong clenched his fists, his body rigid.

The other party had already surpassed him and taken his position as Guild Leader; brooding was useless. Now, he only wanted to know if this fellow named Liu could truly solve all twenty problems consecutively and pass the Wall of Dilemmas with perfect prescriptions.

If that were indeed the case, the entire Tianwu Kingdom's guild would likely become famous because of it.

But... the difficulty of the final illness was such that even a four-star physician would struggle to solve it. Could Teacher Liu truly succeed?

As he grew tense, the wall before him began to shake again.

“There's an answer...”

Seeing this, everyone held their breath, and Physician Mu Hong's body tensed up as well.

A beam of light shone forth.

“It's... white light? What is white light?”

“Failure means red light, correctness means orange light. Why is there white light?”

Upon seeing the light, everyone froze in astonishment.

Even Physician Mu Hong's eyes widened; he was utterly bewildered.

Solving a difficult medical problem meant either being correct or incorrect. In other words, it should be either red light or orange light. White light appearing... What on earth was going on?

“Could it be... that the Physicians' Hall wall is broken?”

“That can't be right...”

The crowd blinked in confusion.

“Look, something seems to be appearing...”

Just as everyone was bewildered and unsure what was happening, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

Following the shout, they saw four large characters slowly emerge on the incredibly smooth wall before them—

WE DO NOT KNOW!
