Chapter 367
Many herbs had withered and died, losing their former vitality, while the spirit snake guarding the herb field lay in a corner, barely alive. Its once colorful and shimmering scales were now dull and lifeless, and its body trembled slightly from time to time.
A surge of intense pity welled up in Ye Jiuchen's heart. He quickly approached the spirit snake and carefully examined its condition. After some diagnosis, Ye Jiuchen discovered that a dark force had quietly invaded the mountain range. This evil force had wreaked havoc, severely damaging the spiritual energy of the medicinal fields and causing immense destruction to the ecosystem. The spirit snake, which had long guarded the medicinal fields, was seriously injured in its battle against the dark force, and with the loss of the fields' spiritual energy, it had lost the nourishment it depended on for survival, thus ending up in such a pitiful state.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Jiuchen immediately employed his superb medical skills, dedicating himself entirely to healing the spirit snake. He retrieved various precious medicinal herbs from his medicine pouch, carefully preparing a healing potion for the snake. Then, he sat cross-legged, placing his hands against the snake's body, and slowly channeled his powerful inner energy into it. The inner energy flowed like a warm stream through the snake's meridians, nourishing its damaged body.
Thanks to Ye Jiuchen's tireless efforts, the spirit snake's injuries gradually came under control, and its breathing became stable. After a long treatment process, the spirit snake finally regained some vitality. It slowly opened its eyes, which were no longer filled with the coldness and wariness of the past, but with gratitude towards Ye Jiuchen.
Seemingly to repay Ye Jiuchen for saving its life, the spirit snake gestured for Ye Jiuchen to follow it with its weakened body. Ye Jiuchen understood and, filled with anticipation, followed the spirit snake slowly forward. After traversing the dense forest for a long time, the spirit snake stopped before a hidden mountain wall. It gently touched the wall with its head, and the seemingly ordinary wall slowly cracked open, revealing a hidden cave.
Ye Jiuchen entered the cave, and the scene before him filled him with delight. A strange medicinal fragrance permeated the cave, and several unusual herbs he had never seen before grew on the cave walls and in the crevices of the ground. These herbs emitted a faint glow, clearly indicating they were no ordinary plants. With his extensive medical knowledge and keen insight, Ye Jiuchen instantly determined that these herbs were the key to controlling the current epidemic.
Suppressing his excitement, he carefully picked these precious herbs. Afterwards, Ye Jiuchen rushed back to the medical school with the herbs. Upon returning, he and many other physicians studied day and night, repeatedly trying different formulas. After countless trials and adjustments, thanks to these hard-won herbs, they finally succeeded in developing a medicine that could effectively control the epidemic.
When the medicine was transported to the surrounding areas ravaged by the epidemic, a miracle occurred. After taking the medicine, the sick people gradually recovered and their conditions were brought under control. This raging epidemic was finally defeated thanks to the efforts of Ye Jiuchen and the medical staff.
This incident made Ye Jiuchen deeply realize the importance of the origin of rare medicinal herbs in saving lives. To prevent similar tragedies from happening again, he resolved to unite all forces of justice to protect this precious treasure trove of medicinal herbs in the Cloud Mist Mountains. He traveled extensively, communicating and negotiating with martial arts heroes, reputable sects, and local officials. Through Ye Jiuchen's tireless efforts, all parties reached a consensus and decided to work together to build a solid protective barrier in the Cloud Mist Mountains.
This protective barrier was manned by numerous experts on a rotating basis, employing various advanced defensive techniques and formations to closely monitor every move of the mountain range. From then on, evil forces could no longer easily invade, and the medicinal fields of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range were able to recover their vitality in peace.
Under Ye Jiuchen's leadership, the Medical Academy gained widespread renown for its successful fight against the epidemic. More and more people flocked to it, dedicating themselves to the study and inheritance of medical knowledge. The Medical Academy continued to grow and prosper, moving towards an even brighter future, and continuing to contribute its strength to protecting the health of people worldwide.
Ye Jiuchen battles the forces of darkness once more, embarking on a new journey to protect the light.
Time flows by, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye. The once vibrant medical school, under Ye Jiuchen's careful management and guidance, has become a cradle of talent in the medical field. Batch after batch of young talents have graduated from here, carrying their benevolence and medical skills, and going to various places to practice medicine and save lives.
That day, sunlight filtered through the dappled leaves, casting dappled patterns on the paths of the medical school. Ye Jiuchen strolled along, listening to the students' enthusiastic discussions of medicine and pharmacology, and watching their focused expressions as they studied. A sense of satisfaction filled his heart. However, beneath this satisfaction, a lingering worry, like a dark cloud, remained firmly in his mind, refusing to dissipate.
Not long ago, Ye Jiuchen overheard, by sheer chance, that a long-dormant dark force was quietly gathering in the shadows. Harboring a thirst for revenge, they were stirring restlessly, seemingly plotting a massive conspiracy that could overturn peace.
Deeply worried, Ye Jiuchen decided to travel alone to the Cloud Mist Mountains to inspect the protective barrier. This mountain range was like a natural wall, protecting the countless lives behind it, and the protective barrier was the key line of defense ensuring the safety of the mountain range.
When he arrived at the Cloud Mist Mountains, the scene before him made his heart tighten. Several highly skilled guards were now lying haphazardly on the ground, groaning in pain, blood gushing from their wounds. Ye Jiuchen quickly stepped forward to take the pulses of the injured, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
Before he could even ask what was going on, a chilling aura swept over him. A group of mysterious figures dressed in black robes slowly emerged from the shadows and surrounded him. Ye Jiuchen's eyes sharpened instantly; he understood that the dark forces already knew how to break the formation and had come to breach the defenses in one fell swoop.
Without hesitation, Ye Jiuchen immediately joined the battle. He displayed his exquisite medical skills, stimulating acupoints with unique acupuncture techniques to unleash his potential. In an instant, he moved like lightning, darting freely through the enemy ranks, his silver needles gleaming coldly, striking down enemies wherever they went.
However, the dark forces had meticulously planned this, sending out numerous experts. As time passed, Ye Jiuchen gradually felt his strength waning, and his breathing became rapid. But his eyes remained firm, showing no sign of retreat, his heart filled with only one belief: to protect this peace.
At this critical moment, a familiar figure darted out of the forest like lightning. It was the spirit snake that Ye Jiuchen had saved years ago! It had grown to a gigantic size, radiating a powerful and mysterious aura. The spirit snake hissed and charged towards the dark forces like an arrow released from a bow.
