The Envoy of Abundance from Onphalus

A clear coordinate information of the Luofu Immortal Ship, accompanied by his will, was instantly transmitted to the hearts of every compassionate physician in the depths of the universe who held the Huaixiu Mark.

Russell opened his eyes, a flash of green light appearing briefly in them, and looked at Jing Yuan's gradually fading projection: "The people will arrive soon. As for how many, I can't guarantee."

"Haha, I am already deeply grateful for Your Excellency Huaixiu's assistance, how could I dare to ask for more?" Jingyuan's figure became increasingly ethereal. "I have military duties to attend to, so please allow me to take my leave first. I will certainly host a banquet another day to thank Your Excellency and everyone else."

The projection disappeared completely. Yu Kong stepped forward and bowed slightly to the train crew: "My words just now were somewhat offensive, but it was my duty, and I hope you will forgive me."

"It's alright, we understand." Walter accepted the apology on behalf of everyone.

Stepping out of the magnificent yet somber Sichen Palace, the bustling scene of the celestial ship came into view. March 7th let out a long sigh, then his face fell: "Sigh, it sounds nice to say we 'invited' Kafka back, but where are we going to find her on this huge celestial ship? If the celestial ship could find her so easily, would we even need to?"

She suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Russell, her big eyes full of curiosity: "By the way, Mr. Russell! What General Jingyuan just said was that you could find a doctor?"

"Physician Cihui? The information says it's a very large organization! With your invitation, won't the entire Immortal Ship be packed with people?" She exaggeratedly spread her arms to show her intention.

Russell's lips curled into a slight smile as he was amused by her words. He thought for a moment and said, "It's not that exaggerated. I can't say for sure how many people will come. A few thousand? The Immortal Ship should be able to accommodate them." His tone was calm, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

“Several thousand?!” March 7th exclaimed in astonishment. “Isn’t that a lot? The information says that the Compassionate Physician is all over many planets! Mr. Russell, just how many followers do you have?” Hoshino also cast an inquiring glance at him.

Russell simply smiled, offering no direct answer. The company was already worth over a hundred million more than a decade ago; it's likely even larger now.

The Compassionate Physician not only recruited many seafaring knights, but also integrated the Longevity Strangers faction with similar ideologies.

His summons caused a shock within the Cihui Physicians organization that far exceeded what Xianzhou could have imagined.

Countless light-years away, countless marks light up, and beneath the calm cosmic communication network, an unprecedented mobilization of medical resources is quietly underway.

Walter adjusted his glasses, interrupting the investigation into Russell's backers: "The most urgent task is to find Kafka. General Jingyuan must have a deeper meaning in entrusting this to us."

"Yes, yes, yes!" March 7th's attention was immediately diverted. She looked around at the bustling street scene and the floating star raft in the distance, eager to try. "Even though it's like finding a needle in a haystack, we have to give it a try! Maybe we'll get lucky and bump into it at some food stall?"

She tugged at Xing's arm. "Xing, shall we split up and look for clues? You have a keen sense of smell!"

Xing glanced at her helplessly: "I'm not a puppy..."

"Isn't that your mother? You should be better than us."

Russell chuckled. "Alright, kids. The Fairy Ship network is advanced, and information flows quickly. Perhaps we can start with the clues left by Silver Wolf, or something that Kaffa might be interested in."

"For example... those areas most affected by the star core, or those where rumors are most prevalent? Or perhaps we could ask Miss Tingyun for help?"

“That makes sense!” March 7th’s eyes lit up.

Walter nodded: "Yes, keep communications open. Mr. Russell, you..." He looked at Russell.

"I need to keep track of the doctors' arrival and monitor the situation inside the ship. Contact me if needed," Russell said calmly.

His gaze fell into the depths of the immortal ship, as if he could see an invisible storm gathering.

"Alright! Let's get moving!" March 7th pumped his fist with enthusiasm. "Objective: Find the elegant yet dangerous Star Core Hunter, Kafka! Let's go!"

She took the lead and set off to find Miss Tingyun to ask if there was any way to find Kafka, and the other two followed.

The game in Luofu has become even more complex and unpredictable with the intervention of the Star Train and the imminent arrival of the Compassionate Physician. And finding Kafka is merely the first step in this grand scheme.

Golden Branches Endure Through the Ages: Chapter 134 The Record of the Compassionate Physician

"Big brother, why are you wearing an eye patch? It looks so cool!" A little boy who had just been healed looked up at the gray-haired, blue-eyed fox-man doctor in front of him with curiosity.

Bai Li knelt down on one knee, bringing his line of sight to the child's, and twitched his furry ears with a smile: "Because I used to be the captain of a starship! When I was fighting with a group of fierce space pirates, I accidentally lost an eye. So I was forced to wear an eyepatch."

"Starship captain?!" The child's eyes lit up instantly. "That's so prestigious! Why didn't you become one?"

“Because,” Bai Li gently patted the child’s head, “adventures are exciting, but once you’ve earned enough money, you want to live a more stable life and do what you like.”

"Like now, helping kids like you. Telling them my adventure stories,"

He took a shiny candy out of his pocket, put it in the child's hand, and said, "Here, if you eat my candy, you have to promise me that you will be a brave little man and take good care of your mother and sister, okay?"

The child clutched the candy tightly and nodded vigorously: "Yes! Brother, can I...can I become as powerful as you? To save everyone in the village, including me..."

"Of course!" Bai Li's smile was gentle and certain. "When you grow up, on your coming-of-age ceremony, close your eyes and sincerely make a wish: 'I wish to join the Compassionate Physicians. From the moment I join, I vow to eliminate the suffering of all beings and right the injustices of the world.'"

He pointed to the ancient mark on his waist, which was emitting a warm, glowing light. "After you make your wish, this mark will appear before you in response. Hold it tightly, and it will guide you on your future path."

"Alright, your mom and sister must be getting impatient. We need to head to the next planet that needs help. See you next time, maybe you'll have to call me 'senior'!"

The child waved goodbye reluctantly. Bai Li straightened up, and the world under the blindfold changed drastically the moment he turned around—flesh and blood, bones, flowing life energy… He quickly pulled the blindfold back up, blocking out the overly “explicit” view.

……

This is a portrait of Bai Li joining the Compassionate Physicians. Over the course of ten years, his footprints have covered planets torn apart by war, plague, and disaster.

He used his own stories about starship captains to let children who had suffered greatly experience the beauty in those stories.

But the stories the children heard about the starship captain were nothing more than a benevolent fairy tale he had woven. The truth was a hundred times crueler than the fairy tale.

He was not a captain soaring through the stars, but a fox-human blood slave in the White Wolf Clan's prison, his number vague and who could be drained dry at any moment.

Before being captured, he was just a country doctor with some knowledge of herbal medicine. But once he fell into the hands of the White Wolf tribe, everything from his past became meaningless.

The White Wolf Tribe of the Buli people are an anomaly among the Buli people. They are fox people themselves, but they treat their fellow tribesmen in the most cruel way, as if the more ruthless the knife they use to carve into their own kind, the more it proves that they have already "evolved" into the noble "Buli people" rather than the lowly fox people.

Their brutality and bloodshed drew the attention of even other Buli tribes.

Bai Li's lost eye was not a hero's medal. It was just a toy that two bored white wolves were keeping as guards during a bet on a dull afternoon.

"Hey, do you think if we gouge out one of this little fox's eyes, he'll just kick his legs and die?" a guard asked casually, picking his teeth.

“Let’s take a gamble? I’ll bet half a portion of the blood food, and he’ll live!” Another grinned maliciously, stepping his filthy boots onto Bai Li’s back.

"Haha, fox-people are such fragile creatures, how can they survive with one eye gouged out? I bet two portions of blood food that he won't survive."

For them, it was just a pastime.

For Bai Li, however, it was an eternal darkness that tore at his heart.

The rough, sharp blade mercilessly gouged out his right eye. The excruciating pain and humiliation nearly made him faint. The guards' maniacal laughter as they placed their bets was the jarring background noise of that hellish scene.

The heavy shackles chafed and tore at the flesh, and the daily toil drained their strength.

They were regularly dragged away to have their blood drawn, which was used to refine those pills that were said to enhance the strength of Bu Liren.

Whipping and verbal abuse were commonplace, but what was even more horrifying were the moments when fox-people slaves were arbitrarily tortured and killed for amusement or to establish authority.

The scent of death permeated every corner of the camp.

When the wound in his right eye became repeatedly infected due to the dirty environment, and the persistent low-grade fever and extreme weakness caused by excessive blood draws finally brought Bai Li to the brink of collapse, causing him to fall unconsciously by the edge of the mine.

The end of the White Wolf tribe came without warning.

Without warning, without declaration, the sky seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, and a figure, carrying a boundless life force, descended upon the filthy slave planet.

He was a silver-haired youth, his hair flowing like moonlight, his emerald eyes deep as an ancient pool, wearing a simple yet holy white robe, and holding a wooden spear wrapped with emerald vines and ancient runes.

He remained silent. The terrified roars of the guards instantly froze as the spear pointed at them. Their bodies twisted and swelled in the emerald light, eventually transforming into towering ancient trees with gnarled branches, radiating a rich vitality.

There was no mercy, no judgment, only absolute power crushing the perpetrators. In an instant, the entire slave camp of Buli people was transformed into a silent forest.

Then, he raised his hand, and pure and vast golden energy gathered in his palm, gently sweeping across the entire planet like a warm tide.

The heavy shackles that bound countless fox-people melted and vanished silently, like ice and snow under the scorching sun.

Even more miraculously, the golden light seeped into the fox people's withered, emaciated, and scarred bodies. Their bodies, which had been tormented by long-term bloodletting and reduced to skin and bones, were like parched land receiving sweet rain. Their flesh and blood visibly replenished, their pain subsided, and their vitality was rekindled in their eyes.

A miracle occurred, and the surviving fox people, no matter where they were, instinctively knelt down, tears streaming down their faces, and worshipped the god-like figure.

"[I am Huai Xiu, a messenger under the Medicine Master.]" A calm yet supremely majestic voice resounded directly in the hearts of every living being: "[From this day forward, you are free. Perform good deeds and accumulate virtue; do not harbor evil thoughts. If you break this oath, I will seek you out to the ends of the earth!]"

Kneeling on the ground, Bai Li endured the excruciating pain and weakness in his body, desperately trying to look up with his remaining left eye, attempting to make out the appearance of his benefactor.

The silver-haired figure—Russell—seemed to sense that exceptionally stubborn gaze.

With a slight shift in light and shadow, he appeared before Bai Li in an instant. His emerald green eyes, filled with scrutiny, examined the fox-man boy whose fur was withered and brittle, whose body was covered in wounds, and whose only remaining eye, a pale blue, still burned with an indomitable flame.

Russell remained silent. He simply extended a finger, the tip of which was imbued with life energy far more refined and pure than the previous healing golden light, and gently touched Bai Li's right eye socket, which was tightly bound by bandages and oozing blood.

"Uh!" An indescribable surge of warmth suddenly poured into Bai Li's body! The feeling was not simply healing, but more like opening up a new spring in a dry riverbed.

A strange itch emanated from the depths of his empty eye sockets, as if countless new growths were frantically growing, intertwining, and reshaping. A warm power cleansed his broken body, dispelling the high fever, repairing hidden wounds, and even restoring shine to his withered hair.

This process lasted only a few breaths, yet it felt like a complete transformation.

As the nourishing sensation receded like the tide, Russell withdrew his fingers, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable power: "Untie your bandages and see this world, now free, with new eyes."

Bai Li trembled as he carefully untied the makeshift cloth strips, already soaked with blood. Once the restraints were gone, he tried to open his right eye—no more darkness!

A brand new eye was set in the eye socket, the pupil not being his original light blue, but a reddish gold that shimmered with a mysterious luster.

Through this eye, he saw not only the dilapidated camp, the newly grown forest, and his kneeling brethren, but he could even "see" the old, dark wounds tangled on the hunched spine of an old fox-man kneeling beside him, and the faint red flush of inflammation on the lungs of a child in the distance...

In his eyes, the world presented the flow of life energy and the shadows of disease.

"[This is the eye that peers into pathology,]" Russell's voice rang out again. A mark of decay, radiating a warm green light, coalesced in his palm and gently floated into Bai Li's hand. "[May you hold this mark, practice the benevolent path of a healer, and embody the virtues of abundance and compassion. Eliminate suffering and cleanse injustice.]"

Golden Branches Endure Through the Ages: Chapter 135 Abundant Insect Medicine

This crimson-gold eye, bestowed upon Bai Li by the Envoy of Abundance, became his most powerful reliance as a compassionate physician, but also a heavy shackle.

As long as there is no obstruction, any life within his sight is reduced to its most basic physiological structure—bones, blood vessels, internal organs, and the disease and damage attached to them.

This ability allows him to instantly detect lesions and provide precise treatment, but it also completely deprives him of the possibility of engaging in normal social interactions.

The blindfold became a necessity to block out his X-ray vision and allow him to live a life that was barely like that of an ordinary person.

He only briefly unveils it during diagnosis and treatment, like activating a sophisticated medical instrument.

At this moment, he was in the observation cabin of an old, rented passenger spaceship.

The spaceship was smoothly transitioning, with a flowing sea of ​​stars outside the porthole. The destination was one of the giant ships of the Immortal Ship Alliance: the Luofu Immortal Ship.

Accompanying him were more than a dozen compassionate physicians who also wore the mark of mourning.

The atmosphere inside the cabin was not somber, but rather calm and enthusiastic, as if heading towards a mission.

"Bai Li, thinking about Luo Fu again?" A gentle voice rang out. It was Lia, one of the most experienced human healers in the team.

It is said that her home planet was once attacked by the antimatter legion, and it was the timely arrival of the Compassionate Healers who swiftly eliminated those destructive minions, thus saving her world. After that, she naturally joined the Compassionate Healers.

She sat down next to Bai Li, holding a cup of hot tea.

Bai Li withdrew his gaze from the vast sea of ​​stars and nodded, subconsciously tightening the straps of his blindfold: "Yes. Most of the fox people of our clan moved to the Yaoqing Immortal Ship before, and I heard they're doing quite well. Luofu, where we're going... shouldn't be any worse."

“The Immortal Boat Alliance has its own system for managing the immortal species.” Lia took a sip of tea, the steam illuminating her face. “But since Lord Huaixiu has summoned us to Luofu, there must be wounds there that need to be healed by compassion.”

“Perhaps it’s not a large-scale war, but individual illnesses, the weariness and disorientation brought about by immortality… these also need to be seen and healed.” Her eyes shone with an almost devout faith in Huaixiu.

“Sister Lia is right!” a lively voice chimed in. The young fox-person doctor, Aji, came closer; his face still had a touch of childishness, but his eyes were bright as fire.

"The direction Lord Huaixiu points out is the direction we should move forward! 'I will eliminate the suffering in the world'—this is our vow! No matter where it is, we'll just pack up our illnesses and throw them into the sea of ​​stars!" He exaggeratedly waved his fist, which drew good-natured chuckles from his companions.

"Aji, calm down." A steady electronic voice rang out. It was the mechanical medic Shu who spoke; his smooth metal shell was engraved with the patterns of the Decaying Mark, and his joints emitted a slight hum.

"Luofu is a key location for the Immortal Boat Alliance, and the Cloud Cavalry on patrol should not be underestimated. We must proceed with caution to avoid unnecessary conflict."

A moment of silence fell over the cabin. The ancient opposition between abundance and hunting was a potential risk that all compassionate physicians were well aware of.

“What Shu says makes sense,” Lydia put down her teacup, her tone gentle yet firm, “but Lord Huaixiu taught us to save the world, not to fight.”

We come with hands and marks of healing, upright and honest. As long as we stay true to our principles and focus on helping those in need, we believe the Yunqi Army will understand.

She paused, her gaze sweeping over her companions, and said, "After all, eliminating suffering itself is also a way of eliminating the breeding ground for evil. Their hatred is directed at evil, and so are ours." She cleverly used a wording that the hunting believers might find more acceptable.

Bai Li's fingers unconsciously caressed the Huai Xiu mark on his waist, feeling its warm yet firm pulse.

This mark is not only a guide, but also his deepest connection with that savior and with this belief in saving the world.

He thought of himself, who might exist on Luofu, struggling in the abyss of illness as he had in the past, and his eyes sharpened: "No matter what lies ahead, practicing the abundance and eliminating the suffering we see is our path. On this point, no matter how many Amber Ages pass, it will not change."

“That’s right!” Aji nodded vigorously, his energy restored. “Brother Bai Li, once we get to Luofu, your Golden Eyes will definitely shine! All those difficult and complicated cases that have other doctors scratching their heads will be a piece of cake!”

"Ah, I really envy you. I wish I could also receive Lord Huaixiu's blessing..." He scratched his furry ears, his tone filled with longing, "I hope I can have the chance to speak with Lord Huaixiu this time, even just a word!"

Bai Li smiled helplessly, his brows furrowing slightly beneath the eye patch: "I hope it will be useful, and I hope even more... that fewer serious illnesses will require it to see through them." He didn't like the feeling of stripping everything away and staring directly at the most vulnerable essence of life.

“Hey, Brother Shu,” Aji turned to the mechanical doctor, trying to lighten the mood, “Once we get to Luofu, the job of maintaining those precision instruments will be up to you!”
