BIRTH OF DRAGON WARRIORS
152 - Chu Kai [4]

Wushi Mountain Sect, Lixing Pavilion.

Chu Kai opened his eyes with an overwhelming feeling of surprise. His heartbeat hunted and the first object he saw was a wooden ceiling.

!!

Chu Kai's eyes widened, he was now aware that he was in a room and the pungent smell of medicine made him believe that he was in the treatment hall.

"You're finally conscious,"

!?

Chu Kai turned his head, the figure he saw right now was none other than Physician Yun Zhen. He also wanted to talk when he felt pain in his throat.

"Ukhs..."

"Preferably do not say anything first," the voice of Physician Yun Zhen sounded and was accompanied by a sigh. He said, "You are this... Don't you know how to measure your own abilities? Why do you have to fight Elder Zhang Lao?"

The physician Yun Zhen looked at Chu Kai and then clucked a few times, "Look at you now... I'm sure you don't know how your condition ended up like this,"

Chu Kai blinked. Other than the pain in his throat, he could not feel anything anymore. His whole body was so stiff that even to look at him he had difficulty.

Physician Yun Zhen stirred the herbal liquid in the ceramic cup he was carrying and then explained, "The anesthetic effect on the herbs I used will slowly disappear because you are already conscious. The pain in your body will probably be felt and honestly it's important because if you can't feel the pain anymore, then your organs can be sure to be dead."

Physician Yun Zhen shook his head slowly, "You're very lucky. You only had a broken bone and none of your vital organs were seriously injured. Even to be honest, that attack of elder Zhang Lao could sever the meridian and blood pathways. You can really die if you don't have a lucky sky like this,"

!!!

Chu Kai already remembered. The last time he fought against Elder Zhang Lao. All he knew, he darted with a very powerful sword technique and then everything was white. Nor does he know what happened after that.

"Be... How much..."

"You want to ask me how long you've been lying here?" Physician Yun Zhen said softly, "You are strong enough to be conscious after five days. All right, now let's drink this."

"Five days?!" Chu Kai was naturally shocked. He did not expect to be defeated by Elder Zhang Lao, not even remembering how to be defeated.

Physician Yun Zhen helped Chu Kai take his medicine, he scooped up such a bitter herbal medicine and gave it slowly to Chu Kai. The natural green-eyed youth lying on the bed could not even resist at all.

When carefully considered, Chu Kai's current condition could not be said to be good. His body was seen covered in blankets, but the two hands of Chu Kai who were still visible were now in a condition refuted by wood and then wrapped around bandages.

Not only were his two hands, even Chu Kai's feet were in the same state. The healer Yun Zhen even wrapped Chu Kai's entire body with a bandage and left only the young man's head.

The one who brought this natural green-eyed youth to the Lixing Pavilion was none other than Wei Zhang Zihan and Xia Ling Qing. The warriors who were treated in this place were not only Chu Kai, but also the disciples of the Wushi Mountain Sect who were injured from fighting against Chu Kai. It was just that some of them had recovered, even since three days ago.

"Miss... Xia..."

Physician Yun Zhen heard Chu Kai mutter. He frowned before finally sighing, "At even this kind of time.. You are still looking for Xia Ling Qing. Shameless,"

Chu Kai could not argue with Physician Yun Zhen right now. He simply muttered Xia Ling Qing's name until the man beside him gave up and informed her of Xia Ling Qing's whereabouts.

"Miss... Xia..."

"Alright, that girl is training right now. You should just focus on your wounds first and not ask for things that are not-not like you want to be cared for by that girl," Physician Yun Zhen seemed to know what Chu Kai meant.

The healer as well as one of the Elders of the Wushi Mountain Sect said, "Ling Qing'Er has many tasks, let alone her status as a Sacred Swordsman. She can't always take care of you, so don't expect too much."

"................" Chu Kai looked at Physician Yun Zhen without saying anything. His facial expression was hard to decipher before he started to close his eyes, looking so exhausted.

Physician Yun Zhen's medicinal herbs seemed to be starting to work, the young man before him was seen falling asleep. He would just move when he heard the sound of footsteps of someone who entered this room.

There was a girl who came and she was none other than Liu Han Ying. The beautiful girl approached and then started to open her voice. "Chairman Yun, how is Kai?"

"What... Is she gonna be okay?" what Liu Han Ying was worried about was whether Chu Kai could still move as usual or just the opposite.

Physician Yun Zhen seemed to know the anxiety of this girl and he replied, "He had a few broken bones and it took him a long time to recover. But I'll do all I can to get him back on his feet,"

Physician Yun Zhen watched Liu Han Ying and frowned. He asked, "Indeed... What's the reason you look so worried about her?"

Liu Han Ying scratched his non-itchy cheek, he took a breath and said. "How long will it take for Kai to heal, Elder? This is very important,"

"He can heal faster or not, it all depends on him. You're this... What's the matter, actually?"

"Me and Ling Qing'Er are on a mission to investigate something. I wanted to take Kai with me, but it looks like he's taking a long time to recover."

"Well... He fought the Jade Swordsman Sword, of course it would take a long time for him to recover. Thankfully Elder Zhang Lao was able to control his strength. Otherwise, this person is already lying inside the coffin."

Liu Han Ying had a pale expression. He couldn't possibly forget how powerful Elder Zhang Lao was and the figure-swinging technique. Honestly, not many people could see Elder Zhang Lao's attack.

The opponent would be knocked down without them realizing what kind of way they were injured and even for the one who had only watched Elder Zhang Lao's fight-also wouldn't know how the opponent could lose.

Liu Han Ying exhaled and then looked at Physician Yun Zhen. He said, "I'll give Kai treatment to you. Then I say goodbye first, Elder."

"Aren't you going to wait for him to heal?"

"This mission can't wait and Ling Qing'Er is an impatient girl. I'll find someone else, too, pity Kai if I have to go on a mission. Let him rest longer,"

Physician Yun Zhen watched Liu Han Ying who started walking towards the door. He asked, "What mission are you and Xia Ling Qing working on?"

"It was about the case of the girl kidnapping in Yanshi City. We've got information that this is related to the Moon Pillar,"

Physician Yun Zhen gasped at it, "So the Dead Moon Sect is back on its feet?"

Anyone knows the word 'Pillar Moon'. It was attached with the core members of the Dead Moon Sect. Physician Yun Zhen now understood why Liu Han Ying intended to take Chu Kai on this mission. The green-eyed young man could be a lure to attract the attention of the Dead Moon Sect.

The word 'fishing' is actually not very precise. You could say the Dead Moon Sect was indeed eyeing Chu Kai. And on the other hand, they couldn't possibly play a role just to protect Chu Kai because as the Dragon-young Swordsman they had the responsibility of protecting others.

Not only that, but this also had to do with Master Zhuang's special request. Chu Kai had to deal more often with the members of the Dead Moon Sect to make his fighting abilities increase.

".............."

Chu Kai himself was closing his eyes, but he could still hear the conversation between Liu Han Ying and Physician Yun Zhen. He naturally did not stay silent, let alone after the name of the Dead Moon Sect was mentioned.

Chu Kai was determined inwardly that he would not wait long to recover from having to catch up with Xia Ling Qing immediately. Moreover, the girl he liked still had a cold poison in his body as well-there was something strange about Liu Han Ying's words.

It felt as if the mission was important to him because even when Liu Han Ying knew he was sick and had broken bones the girls kept coming. Chu Kai had to recover back to find out the real reason Liu Han Ying was meeting him.

Physician Yun Zhen left the room in order to return to concocting herbs. Chu Kai who knew that he had been left alone began to make a full concentration.

He did suffer a fracture, but spiritual energy still flowed profusely within his veins. He also used one of the healing techniques Wei Shezi had taught him.

"The strength of elder Zhang is admirable. But from what healer Yun said and with what I experienced... I don't think Elder Zhang is holding back his strength."

Chu Kai grimaced, "The proof... I have a bone quality that is very strong until it can be like this. If it's someone else, then there's no way they'll survive."

Spiritual energy slowly shot out from Chu Kai's body. He could hear the sound of small explosions from within his body and because he had a more sensitive sense - Chu Kai could even see every crack in his bones.

"I seem to have forgotten to tell physician Yun not to waste his herbs on my healing. The herbs are completely useless, no longer,"

Chu Kai began to be able to move one between his fingers. It still hurt, but then more and more spiritual energy flowed out of his body. Slowly, the cracks in each of his bones gradually recovered. This was because Chu Kai used the spirit pearls he had obtained from the ancient tomb exploration back then to restore his condition.
