Mythical Three Kingdoms: Martial Arts Reach Divine Ranks, I Alone Rule the World

After handing over Lü Bu's destroyed heart to Zhang Xiu for treatment, Zhang Mu kept his eyes fixed on Hua Tuo.

Under his gaze...

Zhang Mu saw Tong Yuan holding up his heart, which was then carefully placed into Lü Bu's chest cavity by Hua Tuo.

During this journey, a continuous stream of vibrant green light, brimming with life, emerged from Hua Tuo's body and covered his heart.

It was as if they were trying to comfort him.

The intention was to use the gentle life-creating power within Hua Tuo's body to facilitate its subsequent fusion with Lü Bu's flesh and blood.

"Can it succeed?"

Although Zhang Mu believed in Hua Tuo's medical skills, he still couldn't help but have doubts.

It can happen in the next moment.

He laughed and realized he was worrying unnecessarily.

Because he saw that under the soothing, vibrant green light brimming with life force within Hua Tuo's body, granulation tissue was sprouting on the blood vessels of Lü Bu's heart, which were placed in Lü Bu's chest cavity, silently merging and coexisting with the tendons and blood vessels around Lü Bu's heart.

This process is very slow.

But with the combined efforts of Hua Tuo and Tong Yuan, it was truly unfolding.

"Thump—!"

An unknown amount of time passed.

The heart belonging to Zhang Mu gave its first heartbeat from within Lü Bu's body.

Those present immediately noticed.

Blood was being pumped from that heart.

Along the newly formed granulation tissue, it flowed through the tendons and capillaries surrounding Lu Bu's chest, spreading to all parts of his body.

"It's not easy!"

Hua Tuo let out a sigh mixed with regret, but he still did not remove the power that covered Zhang Mu's heart.

This is just the beginning of the heart starting to pump blood.

To ensure the success of this heart transplant, it depends on whether the blood supplied by Zhang Mu's heart can circulate through Lü Bu's body for one full cycle.

Any mishap during this period is unacceptable.

All efforts will be in vain.

Time passed second by second...

When Hua Tuo saw the blood supplied from Zhang Mu's heart circulate around Lü Bu's body and flow back into his heart, giving birth to a continuous stream of new blood, a smile finally appeared on his lips.

Sensing the faint life force that was beginning to emerge spontaneously within Lü Bu's body, Hua Tuo began the final stages of the procedure.

Just like with Zhang Mu before.

The emerald green light burst forth with rich vitality, beginning to repair the surface flesh of the previously dissected heart.

A moment later.

It has already made him fully recovered.

Looking at his old friend Tong Yuan, who was still using his own life force to keep Lü Bu's vital signs...

Hua Tuo spoke up: "Xiong Fu!"

"The heart transplant is complete, but for the next three days, you will need to stay by his side and keep a close eye on his health."

"In my opinion..."

"Your nephew will wake up within the next day or two."

"If he wakes up, call me immediately."

"Hehe, until I can create a new heart for your nephew, I'll be eating and living here at your villa for free."

After explaining all this, Hua Tuo's face revealed an undisguised weariness.

The time required for a heart transplant may seem to be less than an hour, but it takes a tremendous toll on one's mental and physical strength.

"Don't worry, Yuanhua."

"For the next three days, I will not leave this room even for a moment."

After Tong Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu and urged them, "What are you two standing there for?"

"Quickly escort the miracle doctor and your Brother Zhang back to their rooms to rest."

Zhang Mu and Hua Tuo did not refuse Tong Yuan's kind offer.

The heart transplant is now temporarily completed.

They had done everything they could; the rest was up to Lü Bu's fate.

It would be useless for them to stay in Lü Bu's room.

It's definitely better to go back to your room and get some sleep, then recharge your energy before doing anything else.

……

After a good night's sleep.

When Zhang Mu woke up again, he subconsciously touched his chest.

I felt a profound silence in my chest, not a single heartbeat...

Only then did he realize that the heart transplant that had happened that morning was not a dream, but a real event.

"Now, Mu Zhen has truly become Lu Bu's savior!"

With a lighthearted remark about Lu Bu, who was probably still asleep, Zhang Mu suppressed the slight melancholy that followed his recent heartbreak.

I got up and opened the door.

The scenery of Fengqishan Villa under the night sky came into Zhang Mu's view.

The wild vegetation that had grown rampant in the courtyard during the day due to Hua Tuo's supernatural powers had been cleared away, and several people were resting in a pavilion in the courtyard.

"Kongji!"

Thanks!

A familiar voice came from under the pavilion.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mu's body trembled, and he stood frozen in place for a moment.

His gaze suddenly swept towards the area under the pavilion...

there.

No longer the wild man he was when he left the ruins of Wuyuan County, Lü Bu, whose hair and beard had been cleaned, leaned sickly against the wooden pillar of the pavilion, looking at him with a complicated expression.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Zhang Mu let out a hearty laugh.

"Well done, Lü Bu!"

"You're finally awake."

Zhang Mu tapped his toes and instantly appeared in front of Lü Bu.

After looking him up and down, he gently patted Lü Bu on the shoulder.

"It's good that you survived!"

"Thank you for such polite words. Let's talk about it after you've fully recovered."

"otherwise."

"Given your current frail state, where you seem like you could be blown away by a gust of wind, you probably couldn't even defeat the youngest disciple of your Martial Uncle Tong beside you."

Hearing Zhang Mu tease Lü Bu like that...

Tong Yuan, his three disciples, and Hua Tuo, who had already woken up, all smiled knowingly upon hearing this.

In fact, the first thing they wanted to do after Lü Bu woke up was to notify Zhang Mu.

No matter what!

It was the awakened Lü Bu who stopped them.

As for the reason...

After learning that he had survived thanks to Zhang Mu's heart offering, Lü Bu wanted to personally tell Zhang Mu, his savior, the news.

"good!"

Lu Bu did not refute Zhang Mu's criticism.

When Zhang Mu agreed to let him explore the Xianbei royal court together amidst the ruins of Wuyuan County, he already owed Zhang Mu a favor.

And now, I am even more grateful for your kindness in lending me your heart...

Lu Bu gently touched his beating heart to his chest, a resolute glint in his eyes, and silently made a decision.

What is the decision?

Lü Bu did not intend to tell anyone; he would only repay the debt with his actions in the future.

even if...

We must risk his life.

After seeing that Lü Bu was unharmed, Zhang Mu, taking advantage of Hua Tuo's presence, took out the crimson blood crystal he had dug out from Tan Shihuai's corpse and placed it in front of the legendary physician from the late Han Dynasty.

"Divine Physician Hua, Mu intends to use this blood crystal as a catalyst to refine the Qi Luck True Pill."

"Do you have the ability to refine this Qi Luck Pill?"

Zhang Mu paused for a moment, then continued, "I know that refining this pill will shorten one's lifespan..."

"As the price for shortening your lifespan."

"I am willing to owe you a favor."

"Whatever your needs may be in the future, I will do my best to fulfill them."

Zhang Mu did not forget his original purpose in seeking out Lü Bu, and went straight to Hua Tuo to express his request.

In response to Zhang Mu's words, Hua Tuo first glanced at the crimson blood crystal before shaking his head.

"Kongji!"

"I do hope to refine this pill, so that I can owe you a favor as a young and powerful expert who is skilled in both literature and martial arts. In my opinion, it would be worth sacrificing ten years of my lifespan."

"But unfortunately."

Hua Tuo's face showed regret.

"You might be able to have Tuo refine some herbal elixirs to nourish your body, strengthen your qi and blood, but I'm afraid I can't help you with elixirs that involve your destiny and fate, like the Qi Luck True Elixir."

"Instead of looking for me, you should try looking for some Taoist practitioners."

"Compared to doctors."

"Those who have entered the Taoist sect and talk nonsense all day long are the real experts in refining this elixir."

Upon hearing Hua Tuo's words, Zhang Mu couldn't help but sigh.

It seems.

To refine this Qi Luck Pill, he really needs to rely on that old Taoist priest he met years ago.

Let's calculate this point in time.

That old Taoist priest should be in Hebei province right now.
