Chapter 8, Seeking Life in the Face of Death

Su Li nodded repeatedly, looking at the old Taoist priest with admiration... There was no way around it; this skill of talisman crafting was indeed the most coveted ability among surgeons

Su Li turned around in surprise to look back

Su Li took out a sewing kit from his backpack, an essential item for a servant. It is very necessary to mend clothes and shoes along the way in case they get damaged. At this moment, taking out the sewing kit... The lone rower immediately thought of something, feeling a chill run down his back and his resolve wavering.

What are you talking about?" Su Li couldn't help but reprimand the old man in his heart, as he found it very annoying for the old man to speak to him like that

"Alright, follow me." Thus, the solitary rower set off again with Su Li.

Some insights. The solitary rower steadied himself and then said to Su Li: "In that case, let us find a place to settle nearby."

In fact, this 'Blood Circulation Talisman' is quite renowned among the people, as any discomfort in the body can often be directly healed by promoting circulation and invigorating the blood. Therefore, although this talisman appears to be quite basic, it is regarded by the common folk as the most powerful spiritual talisman.

The solitary oarsman regained his composure and calmly explained, "This is a note left by me after specifically consulting my master for divination before departing from the mountain; I merely noticed that the man earlier was somewhat moved."

However, while Su Li was lost in thought, his hands did not remain idle; without even looking, he swiftly stitched up the man's abdomen. ... The solitary oarsman couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth again, and then casually produced another 'Blood Activation Talisman'...

The man's condition has indeed stabilized, and his complexion has slightly regained some color. This left Su Li's 'medical experience' insufficient; after all, it seems that people in this world are exceptionally 'resilient.' With such a severe injury, wouldn't one need to rest properly in the previous life before being able to get out of bed?

Oh. Su Li appeared completely unfazed, merely responding with a slight acknowledgment and not expressing anything further

Subsequently, the solitary rower paid no heed to the man's gratitude, merely allowing him to bow three times before departing with Su Li

"From here, we shall go north, seeking life through death." The old Taoist murmured quietly.

However, seeing Su Li remain silent, Chi Lao also felt quite uncomfortable. After hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't help but say: "Kid, a month has passed. To what stage have you progressed in your hundred-day foundation building? If you have any questions, feel free to ask me directly. Don't worry, I can answer all your questions..."

So that's what it is... Su Li suddenly became calm, and he replied softly: "Isn't that thanks to you, Master Chi? In the first dream realm, I was a doctor, dealing with these matters every day. How could I not get used to it? Speaking of which, shouldn't there be another dream realm? How are you preparing for it, Master Chi?"

Do not look at me with such eyes; this is merely the foundational entry of the Symbol Sect... However, if you wish to give up the opportunity to enter the Sword Sect, you may also choose to join my Symbol Sect.

"Not ready yet..." Chi Lao instinctively said, and then quickly turned to say: "No, I have no energy left... It's all your fault for suddenly waking up by yourself last time, causing me to suffer a backlash that drained a lot of my energy. I don't have enough energy for another attempt!"

Although this may seem exaggerated to the world, there is no doubt that the man's life was saved... Even in a state of confusion due to severe blood loss, he hardly felt any pain before it was all over

Su Li then understood why they had gone north all the way; it turned out that there were factors related to the sect's side lineage involved. He nodded slightly and said, "So, did the master gain anything?"

The old Daoist said with a hint of amusement: "With your talent for cultivating Qi, completing the foundation should be no problem; perhaps you might even have a chance to enter the inner sect of the Sword Sect"

It is important to understand that the greatest concern with reattached organs is the inability to restore blood circulation to sustain them. Many cases exist where, despite being reattached, the organs do not recover well and end up necrotic. Undoubtedly, Su Li has taken an interest in this craft.

Seeing this, Gu Zhaozi could only shake his head and smile wryly. He could only feel helpless about it; it was indeed rare to find a good seedling, and it turned out to be from the Sword Sect itself. Talented individuals would not waste their time in side sects.

What about this man? Just ten minutes after the surgery, he let out a groan, opened his eyes, and then struggled to kneel down, bowing his head to the old priest and Su Li, repeatedly calling them 'benefactors'.

"Yes, my lord, I am not sure if there is a town nearby," Su Li said with some difficulty, as he already knew that there would not be many towns in the northern region.

Just as Su Li let out a sigh of relief and began to worry about how to untangle the threads in the man's belly, the old Taoist suddenly slapped a talisman, causing the sutured intestines to quickly regain their color.

However, just when Su Li was in a good mood for having saved someone, a voice that had disappeared for a month suddenly echoed in his ear: "Kid, I didn't expect you to be so cold-blooded at such a young age, truly a natural-born villain"

At such a young age, being able to face life and death without fear, even playing with the intestines of living people in segments... Such things can only be done by cold-blooded individuals, am I wrong in saying this?" Chi Lao said in a chilling tone

Do not look at me with that expression; this is not the 'Return to Origin Talisman', but rather one of the most fundamental talismans, the 'Blood Activation Talisman'. You have already completed the most important part of the treatment; I am merely assisting you in reconnecting his blood vessels.

"Wait for me to check the map." The solitary rower suddenly took out a beast skin map and began to study it in a very down-to-earth manner... Su Li was speechless; it turned out he had brought a map with him. He had thought they were wandering aimlessly from the beginning to the end.

Indeed, next, Su Li disregarded how disgusting the severed intestines were, and directly took out a needle and thread to stitch them up, one stitch at a time! At first, he felt somewhat unaccustomed, as it was his first time stitching on a human body based on his experiences from his previous life, and his fingers seemed to be somewhat uncooperative.

To be honest, when the other party expressed gratitude just now, even though I am accustomed to the ordinary life of aging, illness, and death, I was still somewhat moved... This man was rescued in a state of despair, so what about him?

"My lord, did you say something?" Su Li asked, somewhat unclear about what he had heard.

Su Li blinked in surprise, as it was somewhat inconsistent with his experience. However, this seemed quite normal in Gu Zhaozi's eyes. Although it was somewhat cold-blooded that the young man could adapt to the bloody scene so quickly, his performance in other aspects completely met Gu Zhaozi's expectations

Su Li's mind instantly conjured up the elegant imagery of himself soaring through the skies, dressed in flowing white robes and wielding a sword, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of yearning within himself

Chi Lao Ze let out a quiet sigh of relief; he was now afraid that Su Li would entangle him further in this matter. As for Su Li's first life dream, he could only speculate whether it was some kind of coincidence that allowed this young man to fortuitously awaken memories from a past life.

However, in the eyes of the solitary boatman, this was merely the fear that a child should have. Yet, upon seeing Su Li quickly overcome this 'fear' and skillfully sew up the intestines, the old Taoist did not doubt Su Li; he simply felt that he needed to reassess the education in the Sword Sect's servant academy. ... ... Treating a person as if they were a piece of clothing to be sewn together, isn't that a bit too exaggerated?
