Fu Xuan waved his hand, "There's no need for such formalities. I'm not here for medical treatment; I just want to ask you some questions."
"I dare not disobey the orders of the Grand Diviner. Please speak."
"It's about the secret teachings of the Medicine King. Dan Shu, as the head alchemist of the Pill Cauldron Department, you should know something about it, right?"
Fu Xuan didn't waste any more time and got straight to the point.
After Fu Xuan asked this question, Bai Zhi, who was following behind, keenly noticed that Dan Shu's hand clenched visibly for a moment, and then slowly relaxed.
"I do know something about the secret teachings of the Medicine King. As a department with medical functions, the Dan Ding Division is staffed with compassionate hearts, so they have some special feelings for the ancestor of the plague. I believe that you, Grand Diviner, can understand this."
After a moment of silence, Dan Shu slowly said, "But this does not mean that the personnel of the Pill Cauldron Division want to betray the Immortal Ship."
“If you want to arrest the people of Dan Ding Si on such charges, even though I am of lowly status, I will report this to the General.”
"Sister Dan Shu, there's no need to be so excited. We're here to solve a problem, and we need Sister Dan Shu to verify it."
"Oh? It's Angelica dahurica."
Upon hearing Bai Zhi speak, Dan Shu's face broke into a genuine smile as he looked in Bai Zhi's direction.
"Sister Danshu, it's been so long since I've seen you. Would you like me to get you some snacks? So many patients have brought me so many thanks lately, and I can't possibly finish them all. Little Angelica can help me digest them."
As Dan Shu spoke, he rummaged under the examination table, then took out a small bag of snacks and waved to Bai Zhi.
"No need, no need. Sister Danshu, aren't you curious about what ailment I cured?"
Seeing this scene, Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment. She couldn't tell whether Dan Shu's kindness to her was out of ulterior motives or simply out of love.
"Was it Xiao Baizhi that cured the illness? Then it must be a difficult and complicated disease. Tell Sister Danshu about it, and she will help you verify it."
"Sigh, it's only been a few years, and Angelica dahurica can actually cure diseases. Our Dan Ding Division really has successors."
Dan Shu's face was full of loving kindness.
"The ailment I'm treating... is a deficiency in the heavens."
"The heavens... are deficient?!"
Dan Shu was stunned at first, then carefully considered the two words, and finally suddenly stood up from his seat.
Her voice trembled slightly, "Little Baizhi, you can't joke with your sister Danshu. Tianque is a serious illness, it's not something to be taken lightly."
"This is a disease that has plagued the people of the Immortal Ship for countless years. How could you, a mere child, possibly cure it?"
She became somewhat incoherent.
The main reason is that this news is too explosive, just like an elementary school student suddenly inventing nuclear fusion, which is hard to believe.
But Bai Zhizhen did grow up in the Dan Ding Division. Although she was somewhat uneducated, she should still have a clear understanding of serious diseases.
"That's right, I can testify that Xiao Baizhi did indeed cure Tianque. At least, my divine eye no longer shows any rejection reaction under Xiao Baizhi's treatment."
"Yes, I was thinking that Sister Dan Shu also has a Heavenly Flaw, so I asked the Grand Diviner to come here to verify it and also to treat Sister Dan Shu."
"How can this be."
Dan Shu's tone was full of disbelief. If it was just Bai Zhi who said it, then it could be that the child was just being silly and playing around. But Fu Xuan, as a Grand Diviner, could not just spout nonsense.
As everyone knows, this diviner is always straightforward and never beats around the bush.
"Alright, Sister Danshu, don't move, I'll help you."
"Okay, sister won't move, sister won't move..."
Dan Shu stood there somewhat at a loss, then felt a finger tapping his forehead.
The instant her fingers touched her forehead, Dan Shu felt a powerful healing force surge into her body, like sweet dew nourishing a parched heart, or a spring breeze dispelling the gloom of winter.
She seemed to see a dream, in the tranquil dawn, as the first rays of light broke through, all things were bathed in soft golden light, and all things that had been shrouded in darkness were like lotus flowers unfolding their petals in the mud, welcoming the light of new life.
There seemed to be a shadow in this world, sitting quietly within it, surrounded by the rich fragrance of sandalwood. Its lowered eyes seemed to contain endless compassion and wisdom, making Dan Shu feel that it was incredibly similar to the Compassionate Medicine King.
The invisible force pulling at her from the shadow caused her eyelids to tremble slightly before she slowly opened them.
In that instant, she first sensed a subtle change in the light, from faint to bright, like the clouds at dawn gradually shedding their dark coats.
Then, the blurry outlines began to become clear before my eyes, and the objects on the table and the ink characters on the scriptures came into view one by one, vivid and real.
252 This is no longer an ordinary follower of the Medicine King; we must strike hard immediately!
"I can't believe I'm seeing the world again."
Dan Shu looked at his slightly trembling hands and everything around him, his face filled with disbelief.
From a young age, she was bullied by her peers because she was born blind. Later, she lost her best friend who had always encouraged her.
From then on, she fell into darkness, hoping to use the power of abundance to perfect herself and no longer be blind. To this end, she did many things.
However, this long-cherished wish was actually fulfilled in such an absurd way.
It's too much trouble; it's better to stay where you are.
Everything, everything, was in vain.
"Sister Dan Shu, congratulations on regaining your sight."
Bai Zhi clapped her hands and said with mixed feelings.
This Dan Shu may not have any ill intentions towards me, but she has done too many wrong things. As the leader of the Medicine King's secret lineage, I could protect her if I wanted to, but she has made mistakes and must pay the price.
"Thank you, sister, thank you..."
Dan Shu was incoherent, holding Bai Zhi's hand and shaking it repeatedly.
Bai Zhi smiled. "Sister Dan Shu, may I ask you something?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan, realizing that serious matters were about to begin, immediately gave a wink to the Ten Kings Division personnel he had brought with him.
"Of course, Little Baizhi can ask whatever she wants, and I will answer her to the best of my ability."
Lost in his own emotions, Dan Shu was completely unaware of the changes in his surroundings.
"Well, regarding a certain medicine, I think Sister Dan Shu, as the head of the Dan Masters, might know about it."
"Little Baizhi, you've come to the right person. As for me, I've achieved some success in alchemy. I can tell you a thing or two about any kind of medicine."
"Then... does Sister Dan Shu know about the dragon coiling and leaping?"
Bai Zhi paused for a moment, then asked for the name of a medicinal herb.
After Bai Zhi uttered the name of the herb, Dan Shu was stunned, then blurted out, "How did you know?!"
"The dragon coils and leaps, allowing the immortal seed to gain some of the power that only the demonic yin body can wield while maintaining its intelligence. And the most important ingredient is one or two ounces of the Vidyadhara Marrow extracted while still alive. Am I right?"
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, the Ten Kings' Division personnel immediately grabbed their weapons and aimed them at Dan Shu. Even Fu Xuan's expression changed, and he activated his power, instantly creating a large array that sealed off the scene.
Fu Xuanyuan thought that Dan Shu was at most someone who worshipped the God of Longevity and Plague, or someone who usually made some illegal drugs.
However, she never expected that this person would be so heinous as to extract the marrow of a living person as material.
This is no longer an ordinary follower of the Medicine King; we must strike hard immediately!
Looking at the scene that had been completely sealed off by Fu Xuan, Dan Shu fell silent. If it were anyone else, she would have always found a way to escape.
However, although Fu Xuan, as the head of the Grand Divination Bureau, could not compare to Jing Yuan, who was a Commander, in terms of combat power, he was still far superior to her.
“Sister Dan Shu, you are a good person, and I can understand some of your thoughts, but you shouldn’t have, you shouldn’t have, actually set your sights on the Chiming Clan.”
Bai Zhi sighed, "I am about to be crowned Dragon Lord, and no matter what, I should protect Chi Ming. I cannot forgive you for doing this."
"I've come here today to heal your eyes, and also to repay the kindness you showed me in the past."
Dan Shu lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Seeing this, Bai Zhi didn't take it to heart and continued, "However, I would like to ask you another question, Sister Dan Shu, have you ever thought about taking the Vidyadhara Marrow from me and Master Bai Lu?"
Upon hearing this question, Dan Shu immediately raised his head and retorted vehemently, "No, I have never had such thoughts. You and Bai Lu are both children of my Dan Ding Division. I would never harm you."
"Yes, I believe in Sister Dan Shu, so please go back with the Ten Kings and spend the rest of your life there."
Bai Zhi shook her head, and then retreated to the back.
If Dan Shu were only in the planning stages, it would be fine, but Dan Shu has been doing this for many years, so it's safe to say that even a god couldn't save him.
"Dan Shu, you have committed one of the ten heinous crimes. If you obediently go with the Ten Kings Division, you can avoid some physical suffering. Otherwise, if I take action, the experience may not be so pleasant!"
Fu Xuan stepped forward and said sternly.
"I'm sorry, Little Angelica, I can't stay here. I've just regained my sight, how can I fall into the endless hell of the Ten Kings?"
Dan Shu shook her head. Having just experienced the beauty of the world, how could she possibly surrender so easily?
"Do not resist!"
Upon hearing this, the men of the Ten Kings' Bureau immediately rushed forward.
However, as soon as they took a step, a cloud of white smoke filled the air around them.
"Uh...."
The men of the Ten Kings' Office immediately felt dizzy and weak all over.
"It's poisonous smoke!!"
Fu Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he grabbed Bai Zhi and retreated.
"This is a drug I developed. Once you come into contact with it, you will feel weak and powerless. Over time, it can even lead people astray into demonic ways. Lord Taibu, and a few others, if you don't want to become like that, please leave."
Looking at the billowing smoke, Dan Shu said calmly, "She's already the leader of the Medicine King's Secret Teachings, how could she possibly be here treating patients without any protective measures?"
This medication was her source of confidence.
Falling into the demonic realm is the thing that the people of the Immortal Ship fear most, whether they are the staff of the Ten Kings Division or this Grand Diviner.
The fact that the Ten Kings didn't bring those puppet figures this time further boosted her confidence.
"Little Angelica, you should also leave as soon as possible, lest the smoke spread and affect you. You have done me a great favor, and I don't want anything to happen to you."
"Sister Dan Shu, why bother?"
Bai Zhi shook her head helplessly, and the green light in her hand rippled out, falling on Fu Xuan and the arresting officers from the Ten Kings Division.
Under the influence of the horse talisman, the poisonous smoke was nothing more than a minor hazard.
The Ten Kings' Division personnel who had previously fallen to the ground shook their heads, stood up again, picked up their weapons, and pointed them at Dan Shu.
"How could this be? My medication was neutralized just like that."
Dan Shu's calm expression changed instantly. In the early stages of the drug's development, she had considered that it might be blocked by gas masks or similar protective gear. Therefore, after careful design, the drug only needed to come into contact with the skin to take effect.
Furthermore, with the help of her pharmacological knowledge, although this poison is not impossible to neutralize, it would require a long period of careful recuperation to achieve the desired effect.
"Surrender, Sister Dan Shu. I will speak with the Ten Kings and make sure you don't suffer too much."
"Dan Shu, you have nowhere to escape. Ten Kings Division, go and subdue him!"
Feeling his body recover, Fu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and called out to the Ten Kings Division personnel over there.
Upon hearing this, the men of the Ten Kings' Bureau immediately pounced on them.
253 Go and trick Bai Zhi into coming out.
Just as the people from the Ten Kings Division were about to make contact with Dan Shu, a burst of light suddenly erupted from Dan Shu's body, blasting away everyone who came near her.
"Hmph, a desperate struggle."
Fu Xuan raised his right hand, and the stars in the sky began to distort, with various mysterious symbols constantly appearing around him.
In that short period of time, she set up a large formation.
"I have laid a heavy defense here; there is no way you can escape."
"The first strike is against Jupiter!"
With a flick of her right hand, Fu Xuan drew a talisman in mid-air, which then suddenly exploded.
With Fu Xuan's power, if Dan Shu were to take that hit, even if he didn't die, he would be crippled on the spot.
However, things always take unexpected turns. Just as Fu Xuan's attack was about to reach Dan Shu, Fu Xuan's expression suddenly changed, because she sensed that the great array she used to seal off the surrounding area had been instantly pierced.
