In a secluded alchemy room within the Medicine Hall, Vice Hall Director Zhan Li, Bu Jiuxiao, Elder Zhang, Elder Zhang’s Medicine Man Child, and Yun Sheng all gathered around Shangguan Tuo. According to the procedure, treatment began with Elder Zhang. After all, he was the creator of the Beast Blood, and by reason, he should be the most aware of Shangguan Tuo’s condition. "Liu San, in accordance with the rules of the Medicine Hall, the Beast Blood that Shangguan Tuo consumed should have been pre-tested by you. Were there any adverse reactions?" Elder Zhang inquired of his Medicine Man. After receiving a negative response, he methodically inspected Shangguan Tuo’s pulse, eyelids, and heartbeat. He then procured the vial containing the Beast Blood, took a sample, and after a careful examination, still found no clues. As time ticked by, Elder Zhang remained clueless, continuously wiping off the cold sweat beading on his forehead. "Elder Zhang, it’s getting dark. Have you diagnosed the cause of the illness?" Yun Sheng asked coolly. "What’s the rush? Shangguan Tuo’s condition is peculiar, never before seen in the entire Great Zhou. Vice Hall Director, I think we should go to the Medicine Emperor Pavilion and consult a few doctors," Elder Zhang truly couldn’t determine the reason for Shangguan Tuo’s madness. Zhan Li then looked at Yun Sheng, "What do you think? Should we also invite the doctors from the Medicine Emperor Pavilion to help?" If not necessary, Zhan Li was also not inclined to call in the Medicine Emperor Pavilion. "No need, I just need a sample of the same Blood Cloud Beast’s Blood and the records of Shangguan Tuo’s past few Beast Blood Fusions," Yun Sheng declared confidently, with no trace of hesitation in her words. Her candid gaze and decisiveness somewhat embarrassed Elder Zhang. "Nonsense, just by yourself, it is impossible to cure Shangguan Tuo’s peculiar condition. If we delay any further, he might be in grave danger," Elder Zhang blurted out in a flushed face, upset. This female Mage was being rash; without even examining the patient, she claimed she could cure Shangguan Tuo. It seemed an impossibility. "Vice Hall Director, I’m willing to stake my own life asserting that if you let me treat him, not only will I heal him, but I also assure you that by tomorrow morning, Wuxuan Wuji Hall will have one more Marquis!" The moment Yun Sheng’s statement finished, everyone present was shocked. Such arrogant remarks, yet without absolute confidence, where would this female Mage get the assurance? A Marquis – that implied she was confident in making Shangguan Tuo achieve a breakthrough. To let a martial artist who’s gone berserk due to deviation make a direct breakthrough, such confidence is something that, perhaps, no doctor under the heavens could possess. Elder Zhang couldn’t do it, and probably not even the Great National Doctor of Great Zhou, Grandmaster Wen. Zhan Li hesitated. In his early years on the battlefield, he had never been so indecisive. If successful, it would indeed be a blessing for Wuxuan Wuji Hall, but if it failed... Yun Sheng, who was accustomed to seeing the dilemma of patients and their families, stepped forward sincerely upon seeing Zhan Li fall silent, "Vice Hall Director, you must believe that among the martial artists of Wuxuan Wuji Hall, there isn’t a single one who is afraid of death and clings to life." "Master, let her have a try. Liu San, do as she asks, bring another sample of Beast Blood, and also the records of Shangguan Tuo’s past Beast Blood Fusions," Ye Beiming glanced at Yun Sheng, curious to see what she was planning to do next. The new Beast Blood and the records of Shangguan Tuo’s past Fusions were soon delivered. The Beast Blood was ready, but Yun Sheng did not immediately get to work. She first reviewed the records of Shangguan Tuo’s past Beast Blood Fusions. As she read, Yun Sheng sighed inwardly; Shangguan Tuo really could be considered an expert in leveling up. In the five years since joining the hall, he had successfully completed three Beast Blood Fusions. Each fusion had been successful, unlike this time. "Vice Hall Director, to treat this, I have one condition. You know I come from a Mage background, and what I’ve studied is a combination of Ancient Medical Skill and Magic Potion. I need to use Magic Power when I treat, but right now, I have been placed under a Magic Lock and cannot utilize magic," Yun Sheng said and then paused. "Are you negotiating with me, asking me to break the rules of Wuxuan Wuji Hall and help you unlock your Magic Lock?" Zhan Li’s frown indicated his displeasure. Those who stood by, including Bu Jiuxiao and others, couldn’t help but look at Yun Sheng with new respect. Ye Beiming’s grey eyes narrowed to slits. Within the Wuxuan Wuji Hall, there was probably no one but Yun Sheng who dared to negotiate terms with Zhan Li. Even across the entire Great Zhou City, there were no more than five people who would dare to discuss conditions with Zhan Li. Zhan Li, as the Vice Hall Director of Wuxuan Wuji Hall, held a high position and considerable authority. In the daily affairs of the Martial Arts Hall, his word was law, and the feeling of being threatened was far from pleasant. "I might agree to unlock the Magic Lock, but you must endure my test," he declared with chilling resolution, as invisible fighting spirit emanated from him. The small Medicine Hall suddenly became tense. Yun Sheng felt an intense pressure on her body as if someone wanted to crush her bones and internal organs to dust. Thinking to make her submit through intimidation, Yun Sheng sneered inwardly. How could she submit? From the day she was bound by the Magic Lock, she had vowed she would cast it off. Not only cast it off, but she intended to have the people of Wuji Hall beg her to do so. Yun Sheng straightened her spine, her black eyes fixed persistently on Zhan Li. Her gaze was open and fearless, without a hint of dread. "It’s not about conditions, but claiming the reward I deserve. I am just an exchange student, not part of the Martial Arts Hall, treating Shangguan Tuo was merely out of my medical ethics, and while I don’t need a reward, my term is that my Magic Lock must be unlocked. Furthermore, I have another condition; that the three of us shall have the freedom to use magic in Wuxuan Wuji Hall from this day forward," Yun Sheng stated calmly. "And if I refuse?" Zhan Li’s fighting spirit intensified at his side. The biting fighting spirit, like a flurry of blades, whistled past Yun Sheng. Her tender skin was grazed, leaving a wound, and she was forced to take a step back. Yet, Yun Sheng was not frightened by Zhan Li’s demeanor. She exhaled deeply, squatted down, and adopted the stance of the Horse Stance. Goodness, she was actually standing up to the Vice Hall Director. The expressions of the surrounding onlookers changed drastically. Zhan Li scoffed. His cultivation level was among the top in Yujing today, and in terms of strength, it was feared to be just below that of the father and son of the Yun Residence, having reached the level of a Half Martial Saint. Yun Sheng, now a Great Magic Director and a Mage, could be crushed to dust by Zhan Li’s power in an instant. Yet the Yun Sheng in front of him greatly surprised him. The icy fighting spirit continued to dance around Yun Sheng, who now had cuts crisscrossing her face. The few bystanders were forced to muster their fighting spirit as a protective guard just to barely avoid being harmed by Zhan Li’s fighting spirit. Zhan Li’s eyes narrowed once more as a surge of fighting spirit struck directly at Yun Sheng. This strike contained a full twenty percent of Zhan Li’s Qi Power. As the blow hit her, she flew out like a willow leaf, crashing into the nearby wall.
