Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

Let's go back to one day ago.

Since the positions in the Dan Ding Si are actually official, they have fixed working hours.

Cheng Xiao clocked out of get off work as usual, carrying a medical book on his way home.

Since the Dan Ding Si was not far from Chang Le Tian, ​​Cheng Xiao did not plan to take the Star Chariot.

Just as Cheng Xiao left the Pill Cauldron Division, he saw a person kneeling on the ground, his body twitching slightly.

A crowd of onlookers had gathered, pointing and whispering about the man, and some were already contacting the Cloud Cavalry.

A kind-hearted person wanted to go over and help, but suddenly noticed that branches were growing from the person kneeling on the ground!

"A demon...a demonic being! A monster!"

The kind passerby was so frightened that he retreated hastily, and even the surrounding people kept their distance from him.

"Where are the patrolling Cloud Cavalry?! Someone come and deal with this!"

Just as everyone was in a panic, Cheng Xiao noticed something was wrong.

Through the transparency of the snake, it can be discovered that there is something special inside this person's abdomen that is constantly spreading vitality outward.

This vitality was so corrosive that it triggered the demonic yin energy of the Immortal Boat people.

Cheng Xiao did not use the [Horse] talisman to directly eliminate the external force because the power of the [Horse] talisman was too exaggerated and not easy to directly reveal to the public.

Even when treating Yunqi, Chengxiao pretended to feed him medicine, but it was actually just candy.

Having identified the root of the problem, Cheng Xiao immediately stepped forward, pried open the man's mouth and tongue, then turned him upside down and forcefully pounded his abdomen.

The person then vomited violently, expelling a mixture of acidic fluid and partially digested food.

Cheng Xiao secretly used the [Horse] talisman to restore his condition, and the man finally slowly propped himself up.

"Th...thank you! I feel much better! I thought I was going to die..."

This series of smooth and skillful maneuvers left the onlookers dumbfounded.

The patrolling Cloud Cavalry also arrived at this time:

"Where has anyone fallen into demonic possession?!"

Cheng Xiao immediately waved to signal.

"Hello! Could you please tell me what exactly happened?!"

Cheng Xiao explained the situation in a half-truthful manner, and the person who was treated also explained:

"Someone set up a stall and said they were offering free samples, so I was curious and tried a few bites. After that, I felt really awful."

After listening, the Yunqi Army rebuked:

"How can you just put any food in your mouth when you're out and about? You dare eat at a stall with no proper documentation! You're coming with me to give a statement!"

However, the Cloud Cavalry treated Cheng Xiao, who had offered his assistance, very well.

"Hello sir, thank you for your help. Let me briefly explain who you are so I can take up as little of your time as possible."

Cheng Xiao nodded and explained his position in the Dan Ding Division, without mentioning that he was a disciple of the Sword Master.

"So you're a physician from the Alchemy Department! Thank you again!"

Then the Yunqi Army turned around and said:

"Consider yourself lucky! The incident happened right at the entrance of the Alchemy Bureau! Otherwise, you would have faced the consequences if it had caused panic!"

So the Yunqi Army took the man away, and the passersby dispersed.

Cheng Xiao did not rush to leave, but instead took out the extraction tool from his backpack.

This is a tool kit given to me during my tenure, specifically for processing various medicinal herbs.

He squatted down as if he were cleaning.

He then carefully collected the solid matter from the vomit into a test tube and quickly left.

Although Cheng Xiao felt there was something fishy about this, he had no time to pay attention to it.

However, this incident unexpectedly escalated.

After the rescued individuals finished giving their statements at the local authorities, they began to publicize their rescue experiences extensively.

After all, they had walked back from the brink of death; how could such a debt of gratitude be left unrecognized?

In addition, many people knew about the incident at the time, so different versions of the story emerged.

"I remember that person was covered in tree branches! He must be a demon in disguise!"

"He seemed to say that he had lost consciousness and was just pulled back to reality!"

Passed on to the next group of people:

"Have you heard? It seems the healers of the Pill Refining Division can suppress the Demonic Yin Body now!"

"Yes, yes, yes! When was this developed? I think it's called something like that..."

"I know, the surname seems to be Cheng!"

"That's right!"

It was then passed on to the next group of people:

"The Alchemy Department is incredible now! It seems they've found a way to deal with the Demonic Yin Body!"

"Really! Does that mean we no longer have to fear passing away in a few hundred years!"

Then it was passed on to the next group of people:

"The Pill Refining Department has a capable person who can bring the dead back to life!!!"

"What?! Really?! Does that mean my great-grandmother can be resurrected?!"

"Your great-grandmother has been reincarnated for so many years, she must have already started a new life."

"Then I should at least see that doctor! He can check what's wrong with me and see how many more years I have to live!"

"Is it possible to book a resurrection appointment? I want to book my resurrection on the day I pass away."

"You think this is buying resurrection coins?! And you're even making a reservation?! Who are you to talk to me like that!"

And so the rumors spread and became more and more outrageous.

The news has already spread to the surrounding alleys where the incident occurred.

Cheng Xiao was completely unaware of the situation; he simply spent the entire evening reading medical books after having dinner with Jing Liu.

With the [Dog] talisman in hand, Cheng Xiao can always maintain a state of peak energy and vitality.

So he doesn't get tired at all.

The next day, Cheng Xiao found a long line forming at his workstation.

"???"

"What's going on?"

When Cheng Xiao appeared, the crowd erupted in noise:

"Miracle doctor! Please take a look at my illness! My back has been bothering me for a long time!"

"Miracle doctor! Miracle doctor! I'm a short-lived species! Do you have any medicine for immortality here?!"

"Miracle doctor, I don't crave immortality, but I've been suffering from this chronic leg pain for years. Could you please take a look?"

......

A large group of people crowded around Cheng Xiao, keeping him busy.

"I'm sorry everyone! I'm just a beginner and don't have the ability to treat illnesses yet. You can seek help from my colleagues."

These words immediately drew public dissatisfaction.

"Don't pretend to be modest, miracle doctor! We all know your abilities!"

"Waaaaah! Miracle Doctor, you can't just stand by and watch me die!"

The various aggrieved voices made Cheng Xiao's head throb with pain.

"Alright, alright, then you all line up first, and I'll take a look at each of you one by one. Just so you know, I might not be able to cure you!"

And that's how the current situation came about.

This also aroused the curiosity of the other doctors and alchemists.

What kind of extraordinary person has the Dan Ding Si (丹鼎司) recruited? Why are so many people seeking his treatment?

It should be noted that, apart from the non-human population, the people of Xianzhou can generally heal their own minor illnesses and ailments.

This resilience is unmatched by either the Fox Clan or the Wisdom Clan.

However, this also leads to a situation where "minor illnesses don't need treatment, and major illnesses don't need treatment either."

Because a serious illness usually means certain death.

That's why the Dan Ding Si gradually declined.

This led many physicians to seek alternative paths, choosing to enter politics.

The Dan Ding Division is now in complete chaos.

It should be known that illnesses have never decreased, and there is no cure for special diseases such as [Demon Yin], [Dragon Madness], and [Moon Madness].

Instead of actively and thoroughly researching and treating diseases, the physicians formed cliques and eliminated dissidents!

How can Dan Ding Si truly develop under such circumstances?

Those dedicated to studying medicine and saving lives are not given the attention and promotion they deserve.

On the contrary, those who do nothing, shirk responsibility, and bribe their superiors thrive.
