Chapter 481 The Enduring Wood
Yan Daoxin also seemed to dislike dealing with eunuchs. He remained expressionless in the face of their polite exchanges, as if he hadn't heard or seen anything.

The eunuch was probably never seen such a reaction from any of the doctors and sorcerers he had encountered before. He was stunned for a moment, and even waited a while. Seeing that Yan Daoxin really didn't want to pay attention to him, he suppressed his displeasure and, with a somewhat gloomy face, beckoned them to follow him inside.

As soon as she stepped into the bedroom, the scent of incense became even stronger, and Zhu Yu's heart began to race. If she hadn't overheard Yan Daoxin muttering that the incense probably wouldn't have any direct effect, with so many people wearing the fragrance, the conspiracy could have been exposed if something went wrong. Right now, she would probably be worried about her safety.

The bedchamber was decorated with layers upon layers of curtains, and they walked through them one by one. The bedchamber in front of them was partially obscured, giving it an ethereal and otherworldly feel, or a sinister and eerie atmosphere.

Inside the sleeping quarters, there was a large reclining couch, next to which were two incense burners, each more than half a person tall, from which wisps of smoke drifted. Behind the couch were layers of screens, presumably leading to the Brahma King's actual sleeping quarters.

On the bed, a thin old man who looked to be over eighty years old leaned against a large soft cushion, supporting half of his body, and looked at them through a thin gauze curtain.

"My esteemed physicians, this is our king! Hurry up and pay your respects!" the eunuch commanded the five men in a shrill voice.

Zhu Yu and the others then respectfully bowed to King Brahma according to the customs of the Brahma Kingdom.

As Zhu Yu straightened up after bowing, he took the opportunity to glance at Brahma.

Although the thin gauze curtains added a bit of haziness to the view, the appearance of the people inside could still be clearly seen.

She clearly remembered that Lu Qing had told her before that the King of Brahma was not very old. Among the princes of the various vassal states, he was considered relatively young. He should be just reaching the age of fifty this year, and was even slightly younger than Zhu Chengdu.

But now, looking at the person on the other side of the gauze curtain, he not only appears to be very old, but also gives off a heavy, deathly aura.

Could it be that there are two Brahma Kings in one Brahma Kingdom? Or is this the old Brahma King? Or perhaps... an uncle usurped his nephew's power?
Zhu Yu couldn't help but let his imagination run wild, but he still maintained an honest and unassuming demeanor, keeping his head slightly lowered.

"Are you the legendary itinerant healers with superb medical skills?" Brahma was also scrutinizing the five people through the veil. After looking for a while, he realized he couldn't see them clearly and waved impatiently to the eunuchs beside him, signaling them to lift the veil in front of them.

The two eunuchs quickly stepped forward as instructed and lifted the gauze curtain separating the two sides.

Suddenly, the view in front of her became clear. Zhu Yu glanced at the Brahma King again and found that without the veil blocking the view, the Brahma King looked somewhat different from what she had originally thought.

His weak posture and unusual thinness made him look as if the earth had buried his chin, but his complexion was quite different. He looked ruddy and his eyes were bright and alert, making him seem incredibly energetic.

"This way I can see you all clearly..." Brahma spoke again, his eyes slightly bulging, whether it was always like this or after he fell ill was unknown.

His gaze swept over the group of people before settling back on Yan Daoxin's face: "I heard people say that a remarkable doctor had come to the capital, causing people from outside to flock to him without any reason. I thought it was just hearsay and rumors. But now that I've met the doctor in person, he truly has an extraordinary presence. He's clearly not an ordinary doctor!"
"I wonder where this miraculous doctor comes from. At such a young age, he possesses such renowned medical skills that are praised by word of mouth. Who is his teacher?"

Brahma's voice was loud, sounding not only energetic but also imbued with a youthful vigor that seemed out of place for his age. Combined with his appearance, it gave off an indescribable strangeness.

"I've always been a wanderer, going wherever I please, and I don't really have a place to call home," Yan Daoxin said slowly and calmly, neither humble nor arrogant. "As for my lineage, although I am not very talented, I have never disgraced my master in terms of medical skills, and there is nothing I cannot say about it."

My medical skills were learned from the hermit of Qiyun Mountain at Shanqing Temple.

"Oh?! Qiyun Mountain Man?!" Brahma had obviously heard of Qiyun Mountain Man's name as well. He immediately sat up straight, propped himself up with one arm, and leaned forward, his eyes shining. "Is that really so?! You are actually Qiyun Mountain Man's disciple?"

I've heard that the Hermit of Qiyun Mountain is one of the most talented and extraordinary people in the world, possessing exceptional skills. However, he is also aloof and dislikes interacting with the mundane world. Therefore, not only others, but even the current emperor cannot influence him in the slightest.

Every disciple he personally trained possessed extraordinary skills!
Seeing how young you are, you must not lie to me.

If you are truly a disciple of the hermit of Qiyun Mountain, and are willing to examine my pulse and treat my illness, I will certainly treat you as an honored guest and grant you the highest honors in the land of Brahma.

But if you're just using someone else's name to embellish your image, I'll definitely cut your head off.

When he spoke, his breathing was unusually heavy, and the veins on his forehead bulged out, making them appear very prominent.

However, Zhu Yu discovered that the Brahma King's temples were severely sunken, and not only his temples, but also his eye sockets.

The fact that a person could possess both perfect health and an imminent death was so bizarre that it left Zhu Yu somewhat bewildered.

Yan Daoxin smiled slightly upon hearing Fan Wang's words and stretched his neck forward: "If Your Highness is not at ease, why not have someone cut off my head now, put it directly in a wooden box, and send it to Shanqing Temple by fast horse so that my master can personally inspect it?"

Then, Your Highness, see how my master reacts. If he thinks that your bodyguard is a madman and you just chase him away, then I am a fraud.

If it were my master, he would be furious and kill your guard on the spot..."

Yan Daoxin paused for a moment, raised his head, and looked at the Brahma King in front of him. He showed no tension or unease as one would expect when facing a king. Instead, his tone was somewhat teasing, as if he was quite dissatisfied with the Brahma King's suspicion: "Oh, by the way, let me remind Your Highness one more thing. Go out and ask around. If you know my master's usual behavior, he can probably tell you how fiercely protective he is of his own people."
