Chapter 529: Healing Lives
A war caused by monsters swept across the land of Jichuan County like a flood.

Some people live hard, some die unfortunately.

But there are still some people who are struggling to survive in a situation worse than death.

At this moment, "Manager Zhu", who was being stared at by Yue Hanzhang with an extremely complicated and surprised look, was suffering from a serious illness that was difficult to cure and looked like a sick ghost. He was the unfortunate person whose life was worse than death.

Zhu Yan, a branch of the Tengxia Zhu family and the former head of the base city, was the first person to take a liking to Yue Hanzhang and wanted to give him a targeted contract for training.

[The angry king] Zhu Yan!
Yue Hanzhang still could not forget the moment when the base city was in turmoil and the beast tide was about to submerge the entire school. That figure leapt high on the roof of the chariot, like the golden body of Ming Wang, igniting flames of rage and resisting the beast tide.

At that time, it seemed as if liquid metal was flowing throughout Zhu Yan's broad and fat body.

Yue Hanzhang was completely unable to overlap the skinny man at this moment with the fat man in the past.

It was not that his facial features had not changed, Yue Hanzhang could hardly recognize him.

When old friends meet again, no one expected it to be in this way.

It was also because of this that a welcoming ceremony that was supposed to be more lively came to an abrupt end.

Yue Hanzhang only spoke briefly to appease the cultivators who came to greet him, and soon all the camps entered the base city.

The moment he entered the huge city, Yue Hanzhang became dazed again, which was rare.

The once familiar dark side of the city has completely disappeared after this war of monsters and beasts.

Large areas of the original shantytowns had already been overturned and razed during the invasion of the former demon soldiers and evil soldiers, and then in the ruins of the original shantytowns, hideous steel fortresses rose from the ground.

obviously.

This place once served as a transit base for evil soldiers for a long time.

Yue Hanzhang did not ask where the people who once lived in these shantytowns had gone.

It is destined to be one story and answer after another filled with blood and tears.

Even the dilapidated building where Yue Hanzhang had lived for a long time and the safe house that Huang Zhishu had given to Yue Hanzhang were submerged in the flat ruins.

Things are wrong.

Yue Hanzhang was filled with indescribable emotion.

Even though the retreat of the demon soldiers has become a fact, the traces they left in Jichuan County are destined to be difficult to erase for a long time to come; the wounds they left behind will also take an even longer time to heal.

The stationed war camp began to clean the steel fortifications in an orderly manner and quickly moved in.

Walking on this once long and narrow road, step by step passing those now very unfamiliar buildings, Yue Hanzhang and Zhu Yan walked slowly towards the city center shoulder to shoulder.

At this moment, Yue Hanzhang withdrew his gaze from this "hometown" that had become unfamiliar, and instead focused more on Zhu Yan's hesitant and slightly lame steps.

The stiffness caused by breathing before was further amplified during the walking process.

“Speaking of which, it’s all a matter of time and fate. [Angry Eyed King] is not considered the top path, but long ago, my Tengxia Zhu family inherited this extraordinary path, and we wanted to further tap into the potential of the path and take it to the next level.

Before this, many achievements were products left on paper by our ancestors.

Of course, as I embarked on this path, I couldn't help but yearn for the beautiful vision left by my ancestors.

It just so happened that Luo Zhaoqing established the Yuansheng Sect, blew up the river sluices, and led the demon soldiers into Jichuan County.

It was a chaotic situation at that time, even more chaotic than later times. There was killing and fighting everywhere.

In the wasteland, demonic soldiers and evil soldiers were wreaking havoc, covering the sky and the earth like locusts.

The base city was thus cut off from the outside world.

The fighting continued from the moment I opened my eyes until I felt sleepy. When I opened my eyes again, it was the same scene again...

I realized then that if I wanted to survive this chaos, I had to continue moving forward on the extraordinary path. If I stayed where I was, I would only become cannon fodder in this bloody battle.

Unfortunately, there was no sufficient preparation beforehand, and the golden seal that [Angry King] needed for his journey was out of stock in the base city.

Just when I felt that my future was bleak, I happened to find a golden seal for receiving the Tao in the company's warehouse, which was consistent with the theoretical compilation and revision of the path recorded by our ancestors.

If you have no choice, just gamble!
No one knows how feasible theoretical things are.

Fortunately, my bet was successful!

From the [Angry King] of the past, he stepped onto this extraordinary path that is similar yet different, and he doesn’t even know what it should be called.

I thought that was the beginning of a turnaround, but I never expected that it would be the end of a turnaround.

Perhaps it was because I forcibly changed my path of cultivation, and the previous extraordinary Taoist method was different from the path corrected by my ancestors, which led to errors in the details of the rotation of body and spirit.

Perhaps it is because there were problems with the ancestors’ own corrections to the extraordinary path.

In short, after the self-change, the demand for those liquid metals suddenly increased!
I think you must have witnessed that kind of secret medicine in the past. Normally, when I was fighting with others, I took this kind of secret medicine to improve my temporary combat power. Normally, I took the medicine according to a certain number of days to improve the foundation of several extraordinary Taoist methods.

But no one expected that after the change of route, the demand would surge, and in an instant, it evolved from the original "medicine" to "food"!
Indeed, the large-scale acquisitions have brought about a more efficient improvement in foundation than before.

However, the frequency of taking it, which was almost like three meals a day, was still terrifying and exaggerated. Moreover, once he stopped taking the liquid metal secret medicine, it would torture his spirit as if he was extremely hungry.

Even if you really eat a lot, it won't help.

This kind of mental torture would even affect my state when attacking. As a last resort, I had to follow the changes in myself and speed up the intake of the liquid metal secret medicine.

But problems followed.

The chaos caused by the demon soldiers has turned the base city into an isolated island. There is no basis for producing secret medicine here!

It was obvious that the secret medicines were being consumed.

I had to take out some of the liquid metal that had expired or been contaminated for various reasons and try it as a 'meal replacement'.

When I was young, I also traveled in the wilderness. In many critical moments, I had used similar methods to temporarily overcome the need for secret medicine.

But in the end, I am no longer the [Angry King]. The change in the path has brought about a lot of changes in the underlying structure.

Just one "meal replacement" was enough to detonate all the disharmony accumulated in my body!

The secret medicines that had been deposited, as well as those refined by his own Taoist foundation, began to conflict violently with the extraordinary metal power of the "meal replacement".

In this violent conflict, some kind of metal poison like rust was born, and at the moment of its birth, it madly continued to exert the extraordinary metal power that I possessed.

The rusty poison grew wildly with my extraordinary foundation as nourishment, and in an instant, it penetrated into my blood and marrow, almost merging with the source of my life.

In the blink of an eye, I became a useless person, a terminally ill useless person."

When saying this, Zhu Yan's voice sounded extremely calm.

There is no trace of the arrogance of the former [Angry King] when he faced the tide of monsters.

He seemed to be calmly talking about the experience of another person who had nothing to do with him.

In fact, when the words fell, after Yue Hanzhang's very brief silence, Zhu Yan even said with a smile.

"There's no need to be so depressed. I've already come out of my despair. Han Zhang, my legs and feet have been getting more and more unsteady lately. My blood and marrow feel like they're filled with lead, and even breathing has become a heavy task.

I think I'm probably going to die soon.

If I could see you again before I die, and see this genius who once belonged to Zhu, I would be satisfied."

He seemed to have calmly accepted his fate.

But this moment.

Yue Hanzhang just shook his head.

After hearing what Zhu Yan said, Yue Hanzhang had already made a judgment in his mind.

Those liquid metals that serve as "meal replacements" will not be the source of Zhu Yan's rust toxins penetrating into his blood and marrow.

The key point lies in the conflict of temporary diversion. Those extraordinary Taoist methods seem to have been continued, but there are still great conflicts in the details.

This rift extends from the cycle of Taoism to the comprehensive level of form and spirit.

It is precisely because of the existence of this crack that the toxins in Zhu Yan's body were able to enter his blood and marrow as soon as they were born, and merge with the source of life.

Yue Hanzhang's continuous exploration of Xingliu medical medicines almost made him one of the best doctors in the world.

And almost as if it was a matter of course, a thought immediately emerged in Yue Hanzhang's mind -

The disharmony in Taoism affects the level of form and spirit. Conversely, changes in the level of form and spirit will also in turn affect the comprehensiveness and harmony of the Taoism cycle.

Perhaps, the brain fluid seal potion could help Zhu Yan recover from his serious illness and death.

But at this moment, Yue Hanzhang only felt that this was a theoretical possibility.

Moreover, this was not the time when Yue Hanzhang was most fully prepared.

The database of brain fluid demon medicine is still in the process of being established, and the accumulated data is far from reaching the maturity of this advanced medical project. If Yue Hanzhang rashly proceeds to the next stage of exploration, there is a great risk of failure.

This was exactly the point where Yue Hanzhang was hesitating just now.

He didn't know how to talk to Zhu Yan.

If his hope was aroused at this moment and then shattered again in the future, it would be a second trauma and torture for Zhu Yan.

But when Yue Hanzhang heard Zhu Yan say that he didn't have much time left.

He sighed to himself.

Let’s treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor!
"Boss Zhu, follow me north!

When the demon soldiers retreat, the Alliance of Breeding Families will set up its headquarters in Jichuan County.

Then the Tielin Army retreated southwards, and together with the various camps composed of the geniuses of the Qizhou aristocratic families in the battle group, they settled in the northern part of Jichuan County. The seat of government was temporarily decided to be here.

Then, I led the remaining main force of the regiment, as well as the 43rd baggage battalion, north to station at Haiquan Pass!
The entire Jichuan County's medical resources will be reintegrated at Haiquan Pass.

I can't guarantee you anything.

But I have a medical technology under development that may be able to save your life!"
