The whole room became silent, tears after tears getting out of the eyes of Yue Qing'er. She looked at her mother and cried in agony, when they found a single bit of hope their hope crushed by the mere truth.
Even in ancient times it was a decease that was incurable without the intervention of " the sun fire emperor " . But the sun fire emperor died in ancient times only the records of his tales left . Why did her have to have this dangerous forbidden disease that even can't be cured .
Huai rolled his eyes towards nexus and said , " heh! So nexus goddess can also be wrong sometimes ?"
Everyone looked at huai in question, what did he meant by this ? Even nexus looked at him and said , " did citizen Shen Huai wanted to mention something ? "
Huai looked at her then nodded and said , " who said she can't be treated ?"
Without uttering another word, Huai's expression sharpened into one of absolute focus as his hands moved with a speed that left afterimages in the air. The Golden Sun-Silk needles seemed to ignite, glowing with a fierce, purifying light as he drove the first needle directly into the Shanzhong point at the center of Yue Hua's chest. A silent shockwave of heat rippled through her body, and as the needle pierced the nearly complete black flower, a faint, high-pitched hiss—like steam escaping a vent—echoed through the room. The dark, jagged petals of the Final Bloom physically recoiled, curling inward as the Sun-Fire energy created a golden cage, instantly halting the expansion of the Rot-Qi and forcing the lethal flower into a state of forced hibernation.
As the remaining eight needles found their marks along her limbs and spine, Huai channeled his refined Qi to bridge the gaps between the points, forming a complex, glowing network of internal fire. The elders watched in awe as the grey, bark-like texture on Yue Hua's skin began to flake away, revealing pale, healthy flesh beneath. The dark, oily mist of the Withered Heart Plague was forcibly expelled from her pores, evaporating into the air as Huai's "Sun Cage" meticulously burned the corruption out of her meridians. By the time the final needle was set, the petrification had reversed by 70%, and though her breathing was still shallow, the deathly gray hue had been replaced by a faint, life-affirming flush, proving that the "impossible" treatment had succeeded in stabilizing her soul.
Everyone looked at huai in horror . Even nexus looked at him with great confusion what did this guy did that this person is looking more healthy.she walks towards yue hua . Then put her hand over her body and scanned her whole body to become dumbfounded, she looked at the condition of Yue hua then looked at huai and asked deeply,
" You're a physician also ? "
She is becoming more and more confused the more she learned about Huai .
She asked again, " how did you know the sun -fire technique of the sun -fire emperor?"
Huai looked at her and said , " Oh , it was not the sun- fire technique. This technique was called the great sun treatment method derived from the '18 great way to bring back people from death ' from the eternal sutra I practiced in my sect. "
'what the hell , this made me more confused .' she thought to herself .
The said clearly to everyone , " she's cured around 70% , I don't know what citizen Shen Huai want to do about the rest 30 % treatment."
After hearing the question from the Nexus Sovereign, Huai didn't waste a single heartbeat. With a casual wave of his hand, a dozen rare, shimmering herbs flew out of his system space, hovering in the air around him. The five elders , Yue Qing'er and the Nexus watched with wide, horrified eyes as Huai didn't even use a cauldron.
Instead, he snapped his fingers, and a pillar of white pure eternal Fire erupted from his palm, encasing the herbs in a swirling vortex of heat. In a matter of seconds, the herbs were stripped of their impurities, condensing into a vibrant, emerald-green essence that pulsed with the raw power of life itself.
The air in the courtyard began to vibrate with the fragrance of a thousand springs. Before the onlookers could even process the sight, the liquid essence solidified into a perfect, round pill a 5th Grade Spirit Nirvana Wood Pill marked with five distinct golden veins. Huai didn't stop to let them admire it; he pointed his finger, and the pill dissolved into a glowing, golden-green liquid.
Under his precise control, the liquid seeped directly through Yue Hua's skin, bypassing her digestive tract to enter her meridians directly. The liquid acted like a tidal wave of vitality, washing away the last remnants of the black ash and "re-growing" the withered pathways of her spirit.
As the liquid reached her Dantian, a muffled boom echoed from within Yue Hua's body. The shattered remnants of her Golden Core began to spin violently, drawing in the Nirvana essence like a draught desert drinking rain.
The cracks sealed, the dull grey surface vanished, and a brilliant golden light erupted from her chest. Her cultivation base, which had plummeted to the Foundation Establishment realm, began to rocket upward: Golden Core Level 1... Level 2... Level 3... until it finally stabilized at its peak of Golden Core Level 4, but now the core was purer and more powerful than ever before.
Finally, the black flower at her heart dissolved into nothingness, and Yue Hua's eyes snapped open. She took a deep, gasping breath—the first one in months that didn't feel like sawdust—as the grey petrification completely vanished from her skin. Seeing the legendary 6th-grade alchemist and Sect Master standing over her, and feeling her strength returned a hundredfold, she sat up with a look of utter bewilderment. Behind her, the five elders fell to their knees at once, their foreheads hitting the ground in a rhythmic thud, overwhelmed by the miracle they had just witnessed.
Huai looked at the elders then waved his hand , a gentle wind swept by and helped them to regain there dignity to stand up.
Yue hua also stand up at this moment, she was completely fine now, Qing'er came to her and hugged her tight and started crying, she comforted her daughter for a few minutes . Then with her daughter bowed towards huai ,
" Thank you, your highness for saving my life ."
" In return we want to be the vessel of The Eternal Sect." After learning evrything from her daughter she decided to become a vessel force of The Eternal Sect.
Huai looked at her and said , " I don't know about vessels , but you can join us as our own members . We also have a wood peak in our sect . Peak elder Mu Qing would be very happy to know if your joining."
Everyone was happy at this moment, noone thought about this roller coaster adventure of today , they never imagined the forbidden disease that everyone feared would be treated by Eternal Sect leader in just a few moments in their own courtyard.
But at this moment
As the golden glow of the treatment subsided, the air in the courtyard suddenly became heavy with a divine, digital resonance. The Nexus Sovereign, having monitored the entire "impossible" procedure through the planet's network, manifested a projection of light that only Huai could fully perceive. The cold, mechanical voice of the Sovereign echoed, but this time it held a tone of profound acknowledgment.
"Scanning results... Pathogen 'Withered Heart' eliminated. Historical data updated. Shen Huai, your actions have successfully recovered lost medical knowledge and saved a 9th-tier sect leader, preventing a regional power vacuum." The Nexus Sovereign's presence expanded, radiating an authority that made the five elders and even the others tremble. "Your contributions to human society and the preservation of life-force are deemed 'Exceptional.' By the authority of the Human Federation, your status is being elevated."
Three brilliant beams of light descended from the sky, condensing into three distinct tokens that hovered before Huai. The first was the 5th Grade Alchemist Token, carved from Star-Core Jade, pulsing with the heat of the Sun-Fire he had just used. Alongside it, his Federation Inspector status was officially updated, granting him the power to oversee alchemy branches across entire star sectors. The second was the 5th Grade Physician Token, a rare, leaf-shaped jade that shimmered with a life-affirming green light, marking him as the highest-ranking healer on the planet.
Finally, a soft, golden light formed a title above the tokens, weaving itself into Huai's official Federation profile. The Nexus Sovereign announced for all to hear: "For achieving a miracle that transcends the current era of medicine, you are hereby granted the title: 'The Divine Physician.' This title grants you the right to move freely through high-tier star fields and commands the respect of all medical halls under the Federation's banner." The elders watched in absolute, paralyzed silence as their "Little Brother" was transformed into a figure of cosmic importance right before their eyes.
After the divine light of the tokens settled, the projection of the Nexus Sovereign flickered with a rare spark of curiosity. The mechanical voice resonated directly in Huai's mind, but its weight was felt by everyone in the courtyard. "Shen Huai, the formula for the 5th Grade Spirit Nirvana Wood Pill has been missing from the Human Federation's central database for three millennia. Its absence has resulted in the unavoidable deaths of 4.2 million citizens across the galaxy. As the Nexus Sovereign, I request you to contribute this prescription to humanity's eternal record to prevent further loss of life."
Huai, standing calm amidst the reverence of the kneeling elders, gave a slight nod. With a flick of his finger, a stream of golden mental intent flowed from his forehead toward the projection. He shared the complex ratios of the Sun-Fire refinement, the specific herb-binding temperatures, and the spiritual "Nirvana" chant required to stabilize the core of the pill. The Nexus projection pulsed rapidly in a deep blue hue as it processed the data, running billions of simulations in a nanosecond to confirm the chemical and spiritual validity of the ancient formula.
"Prescription confirmed. Authenticity: 100%. Efficiency: Absolute," the Sovereign announced, its voice now carrying a tone of immense gratitude. "For providing a 'Lost Civilization' grade asset to the Federation, your merit points have exceeded the limit of a 7th-tier citizen." Suddenly, a brilliant violet light descended from the heavens, manifesting as a sleek, metallic-purple token engraved with six glowing stars. "Shen Huai, you are hereby promoted. You are now a 6th-Tier Citizen of the Human Federation. Your authority now extends beyond the Red Lotus Galaxy, and your life-force is now protected by the Federation's High-Council laws." The elders and Yue Hua stared at the purple token in utter silence; they were witnessing a rise in status that usually takes families centuries to achieve, accomplished by Huai in a single afternoon.
As the violet 6th-Tier Citizen token merged with his identity, a massive flood of restricted data surged into Huai's mind, expanding his horizons far beyond the borders of the Red Lotus Galaxy. He realized with a jolt of awe that the Nexus Sovereign was not merely a local administrator, but the supreme artificial consciousness governing the entire Human Federation, an interstellar empire spanning countless galaxies across the physical plane. Through this new high-level access, he saw visions of the Sovereign acting as a cosmic shield, managing trillions of lives while simultaneously commanding automated sentinel fleets at the edges of the universe to repel terrifying extraterrestrial races and incursions from hostile outside planes. Huai stood amidst the kneeling elders of the Serene Willow Sect, finally understanding that his new status had elevated him from a local power player to a recognized elite within a civilization that waged war against the very stars.
