Chapter 1924 - 1927: Without My Permission, Even King Yan Can't Take You Away

Upon hearing the words of the Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley, the numerous cultivators present were all taken aback. Weisheng Zhimei, the Baihua Palace Master seated in the VIP section, suddenly stood up in shock and said, "Valley Master Qin, what did you say? Did you say this person is Lord Chi Yan?"Valley Master Qin nodded.

Instantly, the entire assembly was astonished.

"My heavens, how is that possible! Lord Chi Yan is the number one Fire Cultivator in the legends of the Cultivation World!"

"Terrifying, Lord Chi Yan, isn't he already in the Harmonization stage of cultivation, with the legend saying that further advancement could lead him to the peak of Mahayana?"

"Indeed, it's said one shouldn't have any illness. Such a majestic existence as a peak cultivator has met such a fate?"

Meanwhile, as the cultivators present were in shock, the tens of thousands of online cultivators watching the live broadcast were instantly buzzing.

"Lord Chi Yan! He is the man who once battled the Snow Woman of Kunlun in the Cultivation World and lived to tell the tale!"

"Such a peerless hero being tormented by disease into this state?"

"So frightening!"

"Alas, even a hero can't endure three bouts of diarrhea, let alone cancer."

While the entire Cultivation World was shaken by the plight of the peak force that was Lord Chi Yan.

In the auditorium by the judging panel, Shen Qiang calmly and quickly flipped through the patient's medical report and the latest examination results.

And the five members of the judging panel had a somber demeanor.

"I personally examined Lord Chi Yan's body half a month ago; he was already in the final stages of lung cancer, with cancer cells spreading throughout his body. Many elixir pills had been used, all to no effect. So under my arrangement, he returned home. Unexpectedly, half a month later, it has deteriorated to such an extent; if he were an ordinary person, his current condition wouldn't even allow him to survive tonight."

The Medicine King Valley sighed.

Yu Xinghuo also breathed in sharply and said, "Given the current state, no elixir pill can be effective. We all know that cancer cells, tumors, are essentially mutations of cells—they are a type of superorganism, consuming all the nutrients in the body. Once nutrients are insufficient, they go dormant. But the moment the body recovers slightly, they relapse."

Pan Zheng nodded at these words and said, "Cancer cells are superorganisms, and with current medical means, it's simply impossible to kill them without damaging bodily functions."

"Moreover, Lord Chi Yan is now at death's door; any medicine would be fatal to him. Thus, even administering the Calamity Relief Golden Pill would only be a waste."

The other two judges also nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, the cancer cells are spread throughout all the organs, making recovery impossible, because it's no longer cancer of a single body part, but systemic. Therefore, no need to waste elixir pills; they are useless."

Hearing these words, the atmosphere in the auditorium inexplicably became oppressive.

"Sigh, the reason why alchemists hold such a revered position in the Cultivation World is because, although cultivators defy the heavens and possess Power that ordinary people can't fathom, the structure of their bodies remains human."

"That's right. If cultivation immune to all diseases, what would be the need to refine elixir pills?"

"Not to mention cultivators—even Immortals face ailments, or why else would Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad need an Alchemy Furnace or refine Golden Core?"

In the online broadcast room, the atmosphere was just as mournful.

"Who would have thought a pinnacle expert would end like this."

"Such a pitiful thing, this recluse with no different fate from ordinary people in the end."

"Helpless, if the world had no diseases, wouldn't that be wonderful!"

In the auditorium, after a brief impromptu consultation among the five luminaries, the Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley coughed and said loudly, "Shen Qiang is an upright man. By having Chu Xiaotian bring the patient out, it signifies Shen Qiang's intention to save the person."

"However, given Lord Chi Yan's current physical state, it is incapable of further treatment. Instead of clutching onto him futilely, letting him struggle in agony, it might be better to let go."

Upon hearing these words.

Those present felt a profound melancholy.

Chu Xiaotian, however, had a glimmer in his eye, stepping forward excitedly, he shouted: "So you're saying that though Shen Qiang's elixir pills have a divine grade name, they are not divine in reality, meaning he cannot cure it. What kind of divine grade alchemist is he then? If he can't cure cancer, then aren't his elixir pills just trash!"

Upon hearing this, the Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley arched his brow sharply, and yelled in anger: "Chu Xiaotian, you despicable person, as an alchemist, who doesn't understand some medical skills? In the final stages of cancer, the most lethal is not the cancer cells, but the failure of every organ. Knowing this situation, you speak such nonsense here. Do you really believe we will let you act recklessly?"

Pan Zheng's face was also iron-blue, and he scolded harshly: "Chu Xiaotian! The reputation of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands is almost ruined because of you. Can a rusty steel plate be wiped clean? Can moldy food become a delicacy? You're such a scoundrel, knowing full well the outcome, yet deliberately causing trouble!"

At this moment, Chu Xiaotian, with a disregard like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, suddenly raised his brow and retorted: "If he has cancer, Shen Qiang's elixir pills should be able to cure it. If not, then his elixir pills are trash. What makes them divine grade? What gives him the qualification for promotion?"

"You are so excessive!" Yu Xinghuo roared in anger.

But at this moment, Shen Qiang, who had quickly browsed through Lord Chi Yan's case file, suddenly spoke up: "Everyone, please be quiet."

Only then did everyone realize that they seemed to have overlooked the main person involved.

Then they saw Shen Qiang walking over to Lord Chi Yan, suddenly smiling as he took Lord Chi Yan's pulse. Shen Qiang calmly looked at the bedridden Lord Chi Yan and said, "Don't worry. Their words were just teasing you. Without my nod, even if King Yama came, all he could do is watch from the side."

In that moment, the crowd was stunned.

Meanwhile, Chu Xiaotian froze, then took a step forward, pointing a finger at Shen Qiang's nose and sneered: "Shen Qiang, are you still unwilling to admit that your elixir pills are just a pile of trash?"

Hearing this, Weisheng Zhimei's eyebrows stood on end. Qin Yurou on the second floor also had a frosty gaze.

But as everyone expected Shen Qiang to get angry, they were astonished to see Shen Qiang actually smile. Not only that, but he very calmly said to Lord Chi Yan: "I will administer elixir pills to eliminate the cancer cells, and then use an acupuncture technique to give you a breath. However, you must quickly transfer to Heshenghe's employee hospital. There, a Gu Master can assist you in recovering without losing your cultivation."
