Yun Lintian had a weird expression when he was listening to Cai Xuwen's description of her master. This was the first time he encountered such a bizarre condition.
Generally, when one's organs started to fail, one's vitality would gradually deplete too. However, Cai Xuwen's master wasn't like that. This meant there were other factors that Cai Xuwen overlooked.
"Have Sister Cai checked whether there was poison on your esteemed Master?" The first thing that came into Yun Lintian's mind was poison. Perhaps Cai Xuwen's Master was actually suffering from some rare toxins that no one here aware of.
Cai Xuwen nodded. "I checked it several times but found nothing. His body is no different from a normal practitioner's. It's just that his wounds aren't recovered."
Yun Lintian touched his chin, pondering for a while, and asked. "May I know how did he suffer injuries?"
Cai Xuwen glanced at Bai Yun and saw the latter nodded his head. She said. "Master fought with one of the Endless Sea Seven Lords."
"Endless Sea Seven Lords?" Yun Lintian was puzzled. Han Bingling never mentioned this before. He was curious who these lords were.
"It's a long story, Little Brother Yun. In short, these seven lords are the overlord of the Endless Sea. The one that Master fought with is known as Northern Sea Lord. He is extremely powerful and cunning… Master's wife was killed by him, and that was the reason he continued to fight for all these years." Bai Yun explained briefly. It wasn't because he didn't trust Yun Lintian, but rather, it was too long if he had to recount everything from the beginning.
"I see… What is this lord's special characteristic? For example, his primary attribute or his technique." Yun Lintian would ask Bai Yun about these seven lords later.
Before Cai Xuwen could answer, Bai Yun spoke first. "It's a rare dark attribute. I once witnessed his battle before. Although he hid it well, I could vaguely perceive a dark attribute coming from him."
Cai Xuwen was surprised when she heard this. She didn't even know about this before. At that time, she was too young to accompany her Master on a mission. Hence, she had never met this Northern Sea Lord before.
"Dark attribute?" Yun Lintian suddenly had a bad premonition… Don't tell me this lord is related to Poison Valley? If that's the case, there's no hope for this Northern Continent. He thought with heart jumping. He could only pray that Poison Valley would give him time to grow before they started to attack.
Seeing Yun Lintian's unsightly expression, Bai Yun was confused. "What's wrong, Little Brother Yun?"
Yun Lintian regained his sense and shook his head. "It's nothing. I just thought of something." He took a deep breath and asked. "Have you tried using a light attribute on him?"
"We had. But the result was the same. Nothing happened." Bai Yun said.
Bai Yun's answer made Yun Lintian even more confused. It seemed Cai Xuwen's master wasn't suffering from a dark attribute attack but from other factors.
"I think I need to check on your esteemed Master by myself. But if it's inconvenient, then it's fine." Yun Lintian proposed his idea. Talking like this, he would never figure out the cause. He was confident of finding out with his Eyes of Heaven.
Bai Yun and Cai Xuwen looked at each other and communicated through a sound transmission.
"Is he reliable, Senior Brother Bai?" Cai Xuwen asked. She didn't believe Yun Lintian could help her master that even all the famous doctors within the Northern Continent could not do. What's more, he looked seventeen this year. His experience was questionable.
"I'm not sure myself, but I must tell you one thing. He is not an ordinary person… Do you know he could fight Lin Wuwei head-on and hasn't suffered any loss? Additionally, he seems to have a good relationship with Palace Master Han of Frozen Moon Palace. If his character is questionable, I don't think she wouldn't value him this much." Bai Yun replied. He might not trust Yun Lintian entirely, but he believed in Han Bingling's judgment.
Cai Xuwen's eyes wide opened in disbelief. She didn't know much about the recent incident, but she heard that Lin Wuwei was killed by Han Bingling. She didn't expect the instigator of the incident was this young man in front of her.
"Then…" Cai Xuwen hesitated.
"Let him try. I can guarantee he has no problem with his character." Bai Yun replied firmly.
Cai Xuwen took a deep breath. "Alright." She turned to Yun Lintian and said. "I'll bring you to see my Master."
Though Yun Lintian didn't know the conversation between Cai Xuwen and Bai Yun, he knew Cai Xuwen was thoroughly convinced.
"Please." Yun Lintian gave a slight nod in reply.
Meanwhile, Yang Chen wanted to tell Bai Yun and Cai Xuwen about Yun Lintian's unparalleled medical skills, but he recalled his mistake unconsciously revealing Yun Lintian's information to Han Bingling. Hence, he chose to shut his mouth up completely this time.
Cai Xuwen handed her task to another receptionist and brought Yun Lintian and others to a carriage nearby the building.
The carriage gradually moved along the gravel path toward the east side of the academy. Along the way, Yun Lintian discovered many students practicing in the forest. Some were sparring with each other, and some were concentrated to improve their profound art.
"These students are outer court students. Unless you were picked up by Hall Master directly, you have to stay at outer court like them." Bai Yun explained.
"There are classes among the students?" Yun Lintian was surprised. It wasn't because he was unfamiliar with this typical classification, but he thought this place was promoting equality.
Cai Xuwen seemed to understand Yun Lintian's thoughts. She explained with a smile. "Though we are advocating equality here, in order to create a competitive atmosphere, we need to do this. And the outer court student treatment is not bad as you think. They can go to the same class as the inner court student. The only downside is the resource they would receive each month. It's two times lesser than the inner court student."
