A four-year-old medical prodigy descended to the mortal realm, and the entire capital sought her tre

The dragon roared fiercely, and it sounded like it had run outside the Taoist temple.

Zhou Ruo noticed something was wrong with Wulong. "Brother, something's wrong with Wulong!"

As she spoke, she grabbed Zhao Jinzhong's hand and ran towards the gate of the Taoist temple.

Jiang Zhou and Daoist Yunxu followed them out.

When Zhao Jinzhong and Zhou Ruo arrived at the gate of the Taoist temple, they happened to run into Zhang Jing, who was walking back in a hurry.

"Master Zhang, what happened outside?" Zhao Jinzhong asked.

Zhou Ruo poked her head out and called out twice, "Oolong, Oolong!"

Wulong did not respond.

"It's happening again...it's happening again..." Zhang Jing pointed outside the Taoist temple, his voice trembling slightly.

He wanted to go and report to the Taoist priest, and coincidentally, Taoist priest Yunxu also came out.

"Master...Master, the baby is here again..."

Zhang Jing was worried that his flustered state would disturb the worshippers, so he forced himself to remain calm and spoke.

Looking at Zhang Jing's pale face, Jiang Zhou felt a little disdain for him.

How can a real man be so afraid?

And since there are sick children outside, why not bring them in?

Jiang Zhou, filled with doubt, followed Master Yunxu, Zhao Jinzhong, and Zhou Ruo, and quickly walked to the gate of the Taoist temple.

The Taoist priest searched through several patches of grass outside the door but found no trace of the child. "Did they hide in a different place again?"

Zhang Jing followed them out and pointed to a haystack not far away, saying, "Master, this time they hid the child under the haystack."

It was the big dog that found it.

Just then, "Woof woof woof!" Oolong came running back from a distance.

Zhou Ruo went up to it, hugged Wulong's neck, and asked, "Wulong, what's wrong? Where did you go?"

The dragon barked a few more times behind it.

Zhou Ruo understood; it had gone after someone, but hadn't caught up.

"Ah! Ahhh! Ahhh!" A terrified scream suddenly came from behind Zhou Ruo.

She turned around and saw Jiang Zhou staring in terror at the haystack, scrambling backward on the ground.

Even Zhao Jinzhong turned pale with fright when he saw what was in the haystack.

"What's wrong? Brother, what's wrong with you all?"

After asking the question, Zhou Ruo noticed that a strong yin energy was emanating from the haystack.

Master Yunxu was using talismans to form an array.

Zhou Ruo ran over, but the haystack was too tall for her to see what was inside.

"Brother, hug me!" she stretched out her hands to Zhao Jinzhong.

But Zhao Jinzhong had no strength left. "Ruoruo, don't look."

"I need to see you! How can I treat you if you don't see me?"

Zhao Jinzhong hesitated for a moment; he no longer dared to look into the haystack.

Left with no other choice, he picked Zhou Ruo up.

"Brother, try harder, lift me higher! Why are your arms so weak?"

Zhao Jinzhong wanted to cry, but he was too weak; he was lucky if he could even lift her up.

"Oh—tsk tsk tsk! How cruel..."

Zhou Ruo sat on Zhao Jinzhong's shoulders, carefully looking at the abandoned boy's "corpse" in the haystack, and sighed.

Calling them "corpses" wouldn't be an exaggeration, because the children in the haystack were almost dried up.

His eyes were wide open, and he looked terrified.

His body was skin and bones, stiff and lifeless.

Fortunately, he was still breathing faintly, but he had no yang energy left in his body.

Zhou Ruo could see that the child was surrounded by yin energy and resentment.

Master Yunxu was using an array to protect the child's soul and the little remaining essence, and the child's body slowly softened.

"Grandpa Taoist is amazing!" Zhou Ruo felt no fear or misery at all; she remained seated on the high seat and gave the Taoist a thumbs up.

After about half an incense stick's time, the Taoist priest stopped, and the child's eyes finally closed, and his breathing returned to normal.

His complexion was much better than before.

Master Yunxu carried the child out from under the haystack, and at that moment Zhang Jing stepped forward and took the child from him.

Only then did Jiang Zhou, who was sitting on the ground to the side with his legs too weak to stand, finally dare not underestimate Zhang Jing.

Prior to this, Zhang Jing had witnessed this situation fourteen times.

However, this child's condition is more serious today, and his appearance is even more terrifying.

That's why Zhang Jing showed a hint of panic just now.

But now, when Jiang Zhou recalled Zhang Jing's slight panic, compared to his own near-wet-and-sweat state,

You have to be so much stronger!

He glanced at Zhao Jinzhong again. Although Zhao Jinzhong's expression was also very unpleasant, it was nothing compared to his own.

As expected of a young general and junior guardian of the crown prince, he has gained the appreciation of the emperor and the crown prince at such a young age. His courage and insight are truly extraordinary.

"Master, were the children in the huts like this when they first arrived?"

When Zhao Jinzhong saw that the Taoist priest had treated the child and the condition had improved, his panicked emotions gradually calmed down.

Master Yunxu had just finished setting up the formation and looked somewhat tired. He nodded and said, "Yes, they all look pretty much like this."

With some time to recover, she will be able to look like a normal person again.

Jiang Zhou stood up from the ground, feeling sorry for the children. He asked angrily, "Taoist priest, why didn't you report it to the authorities?"

Before the Taoist priest could speak, Zhang Jing angrily said, "Why didn't you report it to the authorities? I've been to the yamen three times, but it's no use!"

The first time I went there, it was alright. The officials came with me to the Taoist temple and saw the child's miserable state.

They said they would go back and report first, but then nothing happened.

The second and third time I went to report to the authorities, I was kicked out. Later, my master said there was no need to go again, so I didn't go.

Zhao Jinzhong asked in surprise, "Why is that?"

Zhang Jing continued, "The officials said these children are all orphans, without parents to care for them."

It's perfectly normal for a child like that to get sick, and they accused me of making a fuss and interfering with their official duties.

Zhao Jinzhong understood. These children were thin and frail, and there were no signs of beatings or injuries on their bodies.

If the body loses its Yang energy and its heart vessels are damaged, many doctors simply cannot diagnose the illness.

The government is even less likely to get involved in these matters.

"Wait! Something's not right! How did the authorities know these children are orphans? Did you tell them?"

Zhao Jinzhong noticed something was wrong.

"No...no...I didn't say that. I didn't know these children were orphans. The authorities said they were orphans."

We just assumed they were orphans.

Moreover, the children in the dormitories have been here for so long, and no one has come looking for them.

Zhao Jinzhong felt increasingly uneasy. Could it be that someone had bribed the government officials?

It now appears that the matter is far more complex than what we currently perceive.

There's probably more to it than just Lü Qingchen refining the Elixir of Immortality.

The Taoist priest said that Lü Qingchen refined the Elixir of Immortality so that it could be given to ministers and the emperor, in order to make a name for himself.

Then he would definitely need to rely on someone in the court, or more people.

Otherwise, he would not be able to achieve his goal.

However, Zhao Jinzhong was completely clueless at the moment, and Daoist Yunxu didn't even know where Lü Qingchen was.

Just now, Wulong also chased after the person who abandoned the child, but returned empty-handed.

Master Yunxu remained aloof from worldly affairs, focusing solely on cultivating the Tao.

He has already done a great deed by taking in these children and protecting their lives.

He knew he was powerless to interfere with other issues, so he simply chose not to.

He truly has the mindset of a Taoist practitioner.

Then we should first treat these children and then slowly investigate Lü Qingchen's problems.

"Ruoruo, you can cure these children, right?"

Zhou Ru patted her chest and said, "I can cure it, I can cure it! Leave it to me!"

It's simply about replenishing the children's yang energy and repairing their damaged heart vessels.

This is no big deal!
