Finally, they arrived at that mysterious valley once again. A light mist still lingered in the valley, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers, making it seem like a fairyland.
The old man in white was already waiting by the boulder. Upon seeing them, he smiled slightly, as if he had expected it. "Your willingness to come again demonstrates your determination and sincerity."
The old man said slowly, "This epidemic is indeed troublesome, but there is an ancient formation that may be able to completely solve it. However, setting up the formation requires a rare spiritual object, which is extremely rare and difficult for ordinary people to find."
Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen exchanged a glance, their eyes showing no hesitation. "Senior, no matter how difficult it is, we are willing to try. Please tell us the clues about the spirit creature, and we will do our best," Ye Jiuchen said firmly. The old man nodded slightly and described in detail the characteristics of the spirit creature and its possible locations.
After bidding farewell to the old man, the two set off again without hesitation in their search for the spiritual object. Following the direction indicated by the old man, they inquired and searched everywhere. Along the way, they encountered many hardships. While crossing a swamp, Ye Jiuchen accidentally fell into the mud, and Dongfang Wan'er pulled him out with all her might; while climbing a steep mountain peak, Dongfang Wan'er nearly slipped and fell, but fortunately, Ye Jiuchen caught her in time. However, these difficulties did not stop their progress; instead, they strengthened their resolve.
After overcoming countless hardships, they finally found the rare spiritual object atop a treacherous peak. The object emitted a soft light, seemingly containing boundless power. The two carefully stored the object away and hurried back to the small town.
Upon returning to the small town, they set up an array in the town square, following the method taught by the elder. Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen focused intently, skillfully arranging the various props while chanting incantations. As the final step was completed, the array suddenly shone brightly, a dazzling beam shooting into the sky and then slowly spreading, enveloping the entire town. Wherever the light reached, the sick felt a warm current flow into their bodies, their previously heavy bodies instantly becoming lighter, their coughs and groans gradually disappearing, and their symptoms gradually lessening until they vanished.
The people of the city witnessed this miraculous scene and knelt down to express their gratitude. Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen watched as the people's faces gradually recovered their health, their hearts filled with relief.
After this incident, Dongfang Wan'er meticulously recorded her experience of treating the patient and the array formations used in her medical books. She deeply understood that illnesses were ever-changing, and only through continuous exploration and knowledge could one better help and save lives. From then on, they diligently studied medicine, their footprints covering every corner of the world. Whether in remote mountain villages or bustling cities, wherever there were patients, they could be seen. With their medical skills and compassion, they saved countless lives, becoming legends in the medical field, revered and worshipped by later generations of physicians. Their story has been passed down through generations, inspiring countless healers to tirelessly strive to save humanity.
On a beautiful, sunny day, Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen, a like-minded couple who practice medicine and chivalry, traveled to treat the sick and unknowingly arrived at a quiet and simple seaside town. The town's streets were filled with the faint smell of the sea, and fishermen moved about in the alleys, but their faces could not hide their pain.
It turned out that most of the fishermen here were suffering from a strange skin disease. The disease was extremely tormenting; the patients' skin was covered with dense, red patches, unbearably itchy, and scratching would cause a sticky fluid to ooze out. The ulcerated skin emitted a foul stench, severely impacting their lives and work. Many fishermen were unable to go out to sea to fish because of this disease, plunging their families into hardship. Seeing the fishermen's suffering, Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen were filled with compassion. They resolutely decided to stay and treat these people tormented by the disease.
Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen immediately threw themselves into the intense work of diagnosis and treatment. They carefully examined each patient, inquiring in detail about their lifestyle and the course of their illness. However, as their understanding deepened, they discovered that the conditions here were far more complex than they had imagined. Conventional treatments that had worked wonders elsewhere were completely ineffective here, like stones sinking into the sea without causing a ripple. Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen frowned deeply, spending their days in the makeshift clinic, poring over medical books, trying to find a solution, but to no avail.
Just when they were at their wits' end and their brows were furrowed with worry, Dongfang Wan'er suddenly had a flash of inspiration, recalling a record from an ancient book. She remembered that the book described a similar illness, mentioning that a special type of shellfish from the deep sea was needed as a cure—perhaps this was the only hope. Upon hearing this, Ye Jiuchen did not hesitate for a moment and resolutely decided to dive into the deep sea to search for this shellfish. Although he knew that the deep sea was fraught with danger, with turbulent currents and various ferocious marine creatures, he was willing to risk everything to save the lives of the fishermen.
Ye Jiuchen prepared his basic diving gear and plunged into the deep sea. Each dive was a tremendous test of his physical strength and willpower. The water pressure on the seabed felt like an invisible hand, pressing tightly against his body and making it difficult to breathe; in the dim environment, strange creatures would occasionally swim past him, bringing waves of dread. However, Ye Jiuchen did not back down, failing again and again, diving in once more. Finally, after several arduous searches, he discovered the peculiar shellfish in a hidden underwater cave.
Ye Jiuchen excitedly returned to shore with the shellfish, and Dongfang Wan'er immediately began preparing the medicine. Following the instructions in ancient texts, she carefully combined and processed the shellfish with other medicinal herbs. After meticulous preparation, the medicine was finally ready. They distributed the medicine to the fishermen, instructing them to take it on time. A miracle occurred; soon, the fishermen's symptoms began to improve, the redness gradually faded, and the itching lessened considerably. Long-lost smiles returned to their faces, and they were filled with gratitude towards Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen.
This news spread like wildfire throughout the coastal region. Many patients suffering from intractable diseases flocked to their clinic after hearing the news. Long queues formed daily in front of Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen's clinic, keeping them increasingly busy. But they didn't find it tiring; on the contrary, they enjoyed it immensely, knowing that their efforts could help more people escape the torment of illness.
