Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Wuxing was extremely nervous, and coupled with the fact that he hadn't rested for almost seven days, he was already somewhat exhausted when he learned that the Spirit Gathering Grass had been safely brought back.

After hearing the Ghost Doctor's instructions, he was momentarily dazed. Lin Yaoxie, upon hearing the Ghost Doctor's words, quickly went over and patted Wuxing.

Wuxing woke up quickly and then raised his head in a daze. Lin Yaoxie could understand Wuxing's feelings. The torment and pain he had suffered these days had left him completely exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Therefore, Lin Yaoxie stopped urging him and simply gave the following instructions to the outside:

"Send a few men over there and bring back the Ghost Doctor's alchemy furnace and all the materials! Go quickly and come back within half an incense stick's time!"

Upon hearing this, the ghost guards at the door agreed and immediately went to the ghost doctor's residence.

At that moment, the Ghost Doctor suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Yaoxie, who had just been setting up the outside. He was wearing a bamboo hat, so Lin Yaoxie couldn't see his eyes, but he could sense that the Ghost Doctor was sizing him up.

Hua Rou noticed the Ghost Doctor's gaze, and then she nervously took a few steps to stand in front of Lin Yaoxie. Lin Yaoxie smiled and patted Hua Rou, implying that she didn't need to be nervous.

Indeed, although Lin Yaoxie always felt that this ghost doctor was particularly strange, he did not find him terrifying, nor did he think that he would harm him. This was a feeling that he could not understand.

Lin Yaoxie ignored the Ghost Doctor's scrutiny, instead turning to channel a great deal of spiritual energy into Wuxing, allowing him to quickly replenish his energy. Soon, Wuxing abruptly opened his eyes and woke up.

He was no longer the dejected and haggard figure he had been moments before. Wuxing looked at Lin Yaoxie and smiled gratefully; Lin Yaoxie didn't say anything more.

The ghost messengers quickly moved the alchemy furnace and materials into the room. The ghost doctor turned around, looked at the invisible figure, and said:

"I will add Spirit Gathering Grass to the alchemy furnace in a moment. You and another person need to be on either side of the Ghost King and promptly inject all the true essence from the Spirit Gathering Grass into the Ghost King's body."

Wuxing nodded seriously, and then the Ghost Doctor began to use his alchemy furnace to refine the Spirit Gathering Grass, while Lin Yaoxie cooperated with Wuxing to collect true essence for Yulan.

Chapter 217 Yulan Awakens

After heating up the alchemy furnace, the Ghost Doctor quickly threw the Spirit Gathering Grass into it, while Lin Yaoxie and Wuxing stood guard on either side of Yulan with great care.

Because of the alchemy furnace, the entire room was as hot as a brazier. Only with extremely high temperatures and intense fire could spiritual herbs like the Spirit Gathering Grass be successfully processed.

When Lin Yaoxie saw the Ghost Doctor heating up the alchemy furnace, he had already discovered that he was using true fire to burn the Spirit Gathering Grass.

This kind of firearm is not actually widespread in the Six Realms, so Lin Yaoxie was quite surprised that the Ghost Doctor could possess such true fire.

It seems that the Realm of Reincarnation also contains many unknown secrets and incredibly enviable resources. Lin Yaoxie thought to himself.

The speed of burning with real fire is much faster than that of ordinary fire, but Lin Yaoxie and Wuxing were on either side of Yulan, very close to the alchemy furnace, so both of them were sweating profusely.

The true essence of the Spirit Gathering Grass continuously emerged from the alchemy furnace, and Lin Yaoxie and Wuxing had to concentrate on collecting the true essence. Therefore, they were completely unaware of the unbearable temperature.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the alchemy furnace suddenly made a "bang," a faint sound that was unusually clear in the otherwise silent room.

Soon, the Ghost Doctor calmed his mental energy and then withdrew his true fire. He looked at Lin Yaoxie and Wuxing and said:

"Alright, you can all stop now. The Spirit Gathering Pill is ready. Arrange for someone to return the alchemy furnace as soon as possible. As long as the Ghost King takes this pill, he should be fine!"

Upon hearing this, Wuxing was so happy that he couldn't speak. He just looked at the Ghost Doctor with excitement, his eyes filled with glistening tears, looking extremely excited.

The Ghost King took out the Spirit Gathering Pill, a small, crystal-clear, light green pill. Even though it had been refined into a pill, it still emitted a fresh medicinal fragrance and shimmered with a faint green light.

Wuxing helped Yulan sit on the edge of the bed, while the Ghost Doctor quickly put the pill into Yulan's mouth and then quickly fed her a sip of water. The pill entered Yulan's body very smoothly.

After laying Yulan down, Wuxing stood guard by the bedside, his eyes fixed on her. He didn't even dare to turn around, only keeping his gaze on Yulan, and then asked the Ghost Doctor:

"Ghost Doctor, when will Yulan wake up?"

After thinking for a while, the Ghost Doctor continued, "Judging from her condition and the purity of the Spirit Gathering Pill, it should be soon. After all, you brought the Spirit Gathering Grass back quickly, without delaying her treatment."

"As for when she'll wake up, I think it should be today, maybe soon! It all depends on the Ghost King's own condition, I still..."

Before the Ghost Doctor could finish speaking, Wuxing suddenly felt his grip on Yulan's hand tighten. He quickly squatted down and stared intently at Yulan.

Sure enough, at that very moment, Yulan slowly opened her eyes, looking around in confusion at her surroundings, and tears of excitement welled up in her eyes.

Chapter 218 A Brother's Promise

After hearing the intangible question, the Ghost Doctor answered in great detail. However, before he could finish speaking, Yulan slowly opened her eyes in the next instant.

Unseen held Yulan's hand, tears of joy streaming down her face. Her eyes were filled with the delight and preciousness of having Yulan back. The Ghost Doctor watched this scene quietly from the side.

Inside the room, neither Hua Rou, Lin Yaoxie, nor the Ghost Doctor could bear to disturb the lovers who had finally reunited after so many hardships.

When Yulan saw Wuxing crying, she quickly tried to sit up and wipe away his tears, but because she had been lying down for a long time and was seriously injured, she was still somewhat powerless.

Seeing Yulan's condition, Wuxing was startled and quickly helped her up. Then, turning to look at the Ghost Doctor, he anxiously asked:

"Ghost Doctor, why is Yulan so weak? Could she still be injured?"

The ghost doctor stepped forward, knelt down, and began to take Yulan's pulse. After a while, he spoke:

"She's mostly recovered. Her current weakness is due to the prolonged coma and severe internal injuries. These require time to heal. With proper rest and care, she'll recover."

It'll be alright. You don't need to be too worried!

Wuxing nodded and then said to the Ghost Doctor, "Ghost Doctor, thank you so much for this! If it weren't for you, I think Yulan would probably be in great danger right now!"

The Ghost Doctor didn't show any joy; he simply said indifferently:

"You're overthinking it. Healing and saving lives is my duty, especially since it was the Ghost King who saved me from the Reincarnation Realm. If you want to express your gratitude, you should thank that Spirit Gathering Grass."

"Without it, I'm afraid even if I had a better way, I wouldn't have been able to revive the Ghost King! So, it was really not easy to bring the Spirit Gathering Grass back within the allotted time!"

Wuxing nodded, then nodded very solemnly. He then helped Yulan onto the couch, stood up, walked to Lin Yaoxie, and performed a solemn gentlemanly bow to him.

Lin Yaoxie hurriedly tried to stop Wuxing, waving his hands repeatedly. However, Wuxing insisted on completing the bow and said to Lin Yaoxie:

0oo is asking for flowers.....

"Brother, thank you so much! If it weren't for you this time, I really wouldn't know what to do! You were able to save Yulan's life, and I will never let you down in this lifetime. From now on, we are brothers who will follow each other through life and death!"

This was the first time Lin Yaoxie had heard someone say such a thing, and this person was Wuxing. Hearing Wuxing's words, Lin Yaoxie was very moved.

In this world, how wonderful it is to always have a friend who will be there for you through thick and thin, someone who will never abandon you!

Therefore, Lin Yaoxie quickly helped Wuxing up and looked at him, saying:

"You don't need to be so polite. I've already considered you a friend in my heart. From now on, let's call each other brothers and help each other on this vast land!"

Then the two clapped their hands tightly and shook hands. Hua Rou, watching Lin Yaoxie and Wuxing, smiled with satisfaction. Yu Lan, also standing nearby, looked at Lin Yaoxie and Wuxing with the same smile, also with satisfaction.

Chapter 219 An Answer

Lin Yaoxie and Wuxing thus formed a brotherhood. Perhaps they had a very good relationship before, but at that time, there were always various barriers between them.

After all, at that time, Wuxing was the Heavenly Emperor, the ruler of heaven and earth, who was in charge of the order of the six realms. He was bound by various etiquette and treaties and influenced by various standards of right and wrong.

Therefore, at that time, Wuxing and Lin Yaoxie actually had various ideological differences. One yearned for freedom and respected his own inner order of good and evil, while the other was required by the entire prehistoric world to judge the standards of good and evil.

Therefore, before Wuxing betrayed the Heavenly Court for Yulan, the two of them often could not reach a consensus because the things they carried were completely different at that time.

However, things are completely different now. Wuxing has also become a traitor to the righteous faction of Heaven, and Lin Yaoxie himself would not want to be controlled by any faction.

So, at this moment, the two of them seemed to have become the freest and happiest people in the entire primordial world! It was as if two hearts that had been unable to reunite due to some trivial matters had finally broken through that barrier.

Seeing that Wuxing and Lin Yaoxie had finally cleared up their past misunderstandings and become brothers again, Yulan was deeply moved. She struggled to stand up, and Hua Rou quickly went over to help her up.

Yulan smiled gratefully at Huarou, then walked step by step toward Lin Yaoxie. After noticing him, Wuxing took Yulan from Huarou's hands.

Yulan looked at Lin Yaoxie with a grateful smile, then gave a slight bow. Lin Yaoxie wanted to stop her and tell her that he didn't need these tedious formalities.

However, Lin Yaoxie thought again that if he didn't let them perform this ceremony, it would probably become even more complicated later, so he simply let them do as they pleased!

Yulan looked at Lin Yaoxie and continued, "Thank you! I was on the verge of death this time, and I understand now. It was you who risked your life to retrieve the immortal herb from Cangwu Mountain for me." "Thanks to you, Wuxing and I were able to meet again! Therefore, to express my gratitude, you are now free to enter and leave my Reincarnation Realm, enjoying the same treatment as me..." "Whatever you want to know or obtain, my Reincarnation Realm will give you everything! Please believe in my sincerity!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yaoxie quickly waved his hand and continued:

"I don't actually need any of these things. I came to the Realm of Reincarnation only to obtain the answer to the question I asked you the first time! You..."

Before Lin Yaoxie could finish speaking, the Ghost Doctor suddenly interrupted him, saying:

"Wu Xing, the Ghost King has just recovered and needs to rest well. I think it's best if we don't have so many people gathered here; it will disturb her!"

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Lin 5.4, the demon, quickly said, "Alright then, you rest first. I'll come back and ask you again when your injuries have healed a bit. I hope you'll give me an answer then! This answer is extremely important to me!"

The Ghost King looked at Lin Yaoxie meaningfully, then turned his head to see the Ghost Doctor. Finally, he sighed helplessly, nodded, and then Wuxing helped her back to the bedside.

Chapter 220 The Ghost Doctor's Concern

Lin Yaoxie never imagined that because he obtained the Spirit Gathering Grass and saved Yulan, Yulan would be extremely grateful to him and promise him something in return.

Because Lin Yaoxie always felt that it was his duty, something he was meant to do. Therefore, whether from the perspective of a friend, from an intangible point of view, or from his own perspective, he felt he had to do it.

So when Yulan stood up, wanting to express her gratitude in some way, he was actually somewhat at a loss. In truth, what he wanted was very simple: he merely wanted Ziyuehan's position.

However, when Lin Yaoxie looked at Yulan expectantly and asked his question again, Yulan's eyes clearly darted away.

Finally, the Ghost Doctor said that Yulan's body was still quite weak and she shouldn't overexert herself like this, so she returned to her bed. Lin Yaoxie nodded, indicating that there was no rush.

Lin Yaoxie walked to the bedside, then looked at Yulan and said, "You should rest well and get your health back. I have many things I'd like to ask for your help with, so please don't refuse."

Yulan smiled slightly, then looked at Lin Yaoxie and said, "How could that be? You saved me, of course I'm willing to help you! Don't worry, there's always fate in this world."

Lin Yaoxie nodded as if he understood, then glanced at Wuxing before leaving with Hua Rou. Wuxing stayed behind to take care of Yulan.

Lin Yaoxie still felt that something was strange about what had just happened, and Yulan's words seemed to have a hidden meaning. The Ghost Doctor's behavior, which had always puzzled Lin Yaoxie, only strengthened Lin Yaoxie's belief.

Sure enough, after Hua Rou and Lin Yaoxie came out, the Ghost Doctor followed closely behind. Lin Yaoxie told Hua Rou to go out first to find the Prayer Machine and make contact with it.

Lin Yaoxie stood under the eaves, waiting for the Ghost Doctor to pass by. However, unexpectedly, the Ghost Doctor suddenly stopped as he passed by Lin Yaoxie.

Lin Yaoxie turned his head to look at him. His face was obscured by a black bamboo hat and veil, making it difficult to see clearly. Lin Yaoxie didn't speak, because he had a feeling that the Ghost Doctor would take the initiative to speak to him.

The Ghost Doctor stood beside Lin Yaoxie for a moment before finally speaking:

"How did you manage to bring back that Spirit Gathering Grass? The Prayer Machine is no ordinary divine beast, yet you managed to bring it back as well. It seems you are indeed a great man!"

The Ghost Doctor's tone, unusually, contained a hint of emotion. Lin Yaoxie smiled and turned to look at the Ghost Doctor, then replied:

"This is a long story. If there's a chance in the future and you still want to hear it, I'll tell you in detail! But I think I can control the timing of the prayer, so you don't need to worry!"

The Ghost Doctor was momentarily speechless. His tone was clearly questioning, without revealing any concern. He was only concerned about the origin of the Spirit Gathering Grass. How could Lin Yaoxie understand that he was concerned about him?

Indeed, if Lin Yaoxie hadn't heard the Ghost Doctor speak at first, he would have thought it was a question.

Chapter 221 Doubts about Identity

Lin Yaoxie's answer to the Ghost Doctor's question plunged the Ghost Doctor into deep unease. After all, if that was the case, it meant that Lin Yaoxie had begun to understand him.

However, the Ghost Doctor is not someone who is very willing to show his true self in front of others. Perhaps in this realm of reincarnation, he has no one to confide in.

As for Lin Yaoxie, if it were the first time he had met the Ghost Doctor and heard him speak, he certainly wouldn't have thought that the Ghost Doctor was concerned about him; he would have only thought it was an arrogant interrogation.

However, based on Lin Yaoxie's unique feeling about the Ghost Doctor, based on his observation of him, and based on his own abilities, he knew that the Ghost Doctor was not as cold and unapproachable as he seemed.

On the contrary, the Ghost Doctor worked day and night to heal the Ghost King Yulan's injuries, consulting ancient books and even using his own true fire and spiritual power to refine medicine for her.
