Chapter 905: Medical Transmission Records of Heaven Mending

"Alright, this isn't your concern." Tianyi shook his head slightly. "Knowing too much won't do you any good."

"Your ability to detect that spatial fluctuation and find this infected person shows you're capable," he continued. "Focus on mastering the jade slip I imparted to you; it's far superior to Tianjue's half-baked inheritance." Tianyi gave a few admonishments. "Don't wander around aimlessly. This Xuanhuang Realm isn't as safe as it seems."

He gave one last instruction, not waiting for Li Fan's reply. Tianyi's figure then vanished into thin air, only his voice remaining, echoing continuously.

Li Fan stood rooted in the room, his tense mind not daring to relax. Still maintaining a state of clear-mindedness, he quietly and nonchalantly left Qinghuang State. It wasn't until he returned to the Spiritwood Realm and confirmed complete safety that Li Fan finally relaxed completely.

"Although I inexplicably encountered Tianyi this time, fortunately..." Li Fan's eyes flickered, and he let out a long breath. "I made the right gamble!"

That's right, although the recent encounter with Tianyi seemed unusually smooth and without danger, Li Fan was, in reality, gambling! He was betting that Tianyi was actually a good person! At the very least, his attitude towards cultivators who shared the same origin as him would be different!

Based on the previous scenes and dialogues during Tianyi's battles with Tianjue and the Master, Li Fan speculated that perhaps the tragic extermination of the Cloudwater Heavenly Palace back then truly wasn't Tianyi's doing. It was all a misunderstanding. And clearly, the deranged Tianjue had sought revenge on Tianyi more than once or twice. Tianyi, who could instantly kill Tianjue, had never actually delivered a killing blow to Tianjue or the Master. All of this suggested that it was very likely just as Tianyi himself had said.

Therefore, the moment Li Fan saw Tianyi, he used the Five Elements Annihilation Sword, imbued with the intent of the Heavenly Fiend Sword, and then unleashed Qin Tang's unique ultimate skill, the Cloudwater Illusionary Dream Art, to attack Tianyi. This was all to disguise himself as Tianjue's successor, bearing the mission of seeking revenge on Tianyi. If Tianyi truly was compassionate, as he appeared to be, then, facing what was very likely the only surviving successor in the Xuanhuang Realm, Tianyi certainly wouldn't harm Li Fan. This would hold true even if Li Fan spoke disrespectfully.

And the truth was... exactly as Li Fan had anticipated! Not only did Tianyi not get angry, but he even proactively offered a golden jade slip!

"This is what they call 'a gentleman can be deceived by principle'!" Thinking about his past psychological trauma, and how he had so easily deceived Tianyi this time, Li Fan couldn't help but feel a surge of pride. Of course, the main reason this deception of Tianyi went so smoothly was that Li Fan had already known about Tianyi's "Observation, Auscultation, Inquiry, and Palpation" ability in advance. As Li Fan performed, his inner thoughts also conformed to the "script." Although Tianyi possessed extraordinary power, he would never have imagined that he had fallen into Li Fan's trap from the very beginning! Tianyi, who was absolutely confident in his "diagnostic" abilities, made a misjudgment due to Li Fan's deliberate misleading.

After replaying the recent events multiple times in his mind, Li Fan became even more pleased with himself. Last time, he had been exposed in front of Tianyi and narrowly escaped death. Now, after many reincarnations, although his strength still couldn't compare to the other party's, he had successfully deceived them. This was enough to show how immense his growth had been! "As long as I'm given more time, I might just be able to confront Tianyi head-on!"

However, remembering Tianyi's performance during his recent probing attempt, Li Fan still frowned slightly. Although it was just an act, those hundreds of Great Five Elements Annihilation Swords were absolutely not held back. They were almost all his full-power strikes without activating his soul-burning state. Yet, such an assault was effortlessly neutralized by Tianyi. Li Fan couldn't even discern what method Tianyi used to crush the Annihilation Swords into spheres.

"And there's also that disease..." Li Fan's expression became solemn. The disease capable of causing spiritual decay was formless and intangible. Tianyi's appearance this time was clearly to deal with this disease carried by Han Zhong. His encounter with Li Fan was purely coincidental. "Perhaps this also explains why the Han Zhong incident didn't cause any ripples in the previous life. Because Tianyi secretly handled everything. If this disease were allowed to spread, it might even affect the Xuanhuang Realm. Judging by this, could Tianyi really be a benevolent character?" Li Fan stroked his chin. "That's actually good news for me. The more righteous a character is, the less risk I incur interacting with them, as long as the truth of my unique existence isn't exposed. I might even be able to gain some benefits from them."

Li Fan's thoughts continued to race. This discovery left him quite excited. While resolving a major hidden concern, Li Fan was already planning how to maximize the use of this new discovery. "Oh, right, Tianyi just mentioned that the invisible bubble that moved Han Zhong out of the Xuanhuang Realm was the Eye of the Tian Beast? It can observe the void near the Xuanhuang Realm, and people within it won't even age... Truly worthy of the Profound Heaven Sect's craftsmanship."

After a long while, Li Fan's turbulent thoughts finally settled. He composed himself. After pondering for a moment, he finally took out the golden jade slip Tianyi had given him. Its grand and luxurious aura affected the spirit wood not far above the seclusion chamber, causing its branches and leaves to sway without wind. Li Fan's heart tightened. After much deliberation, he finally decided to separate a wisp of his divine sense and enter the golden jade slip.

"Boom!"

Countless pieces of information instantly flooded Li Fan's mind.

"Heaven-Mending Record?" Li Fan pressed his throbbing temples, briefly scanned the contents recorded in the jade slip, and his expression turned somewhat peculiar. The author of the Heaven-Mending Record was undoubtedly Tianyi. The Heaven-Mending Record posited that as the Heavenly Dao operated over vast distances, it was highly probable that it, like humans, would develop various ailments. At such times, the Heavenly Dao would need treatment. However, how difficult would it be to treat the Heavenly Dao?

Humans are the spirits of heaven and earth, and the human body can reflect a portion of the principles of heaven and earth. Therefore, to heal heaven, one must first heal humanity. A considerable portion of the Heaven-Mending Record's beginning expounded on how to treat various living beings in heaven and earth, including humans. If the "Celestial Physician's Immortal Scripture" that Li Fan had previously read was an encyclopedia introducing myriad species, then the first half of the Heaven-Mending Record was an expansion of the Celestial Physician's Immortal Scripture. It detailed the specific application of medical skills to all species in heaven and earth.

And once one could skillfully treat all things in the world, they could then advance to the next stage, which was to heal heaven! The prerequisite for being able to treat the Heavenly Dao was to be as familiar with it as one would be with a human body, and also possess the power to alter the very fabric of heaven and earth.
