Chapter 326 Turning Point

Until today, Li Xuan still clearly remembers the first time he took Princess Ankang to practice.

At that time, he had just practiced the Blood-Slaying Tiger Claw to perfection and successfully broke through to the Blood Coagulation Realm.

At that time, because of a whim, Li Xuan wanted Princess Ankang to practice the basic movements of the Ten Tiger Forms with him to strengthen her physique.

As a result, it was also because of this that Princess Ankang took the initiative to detonate the coldness in her body through practice for the first time.

Li Xuan didn't understand at the time, and just thought that Princess Ankang's old illness had recurred, so he lay on her coldest belly to warm her up, and then he found that he could absorb the coldness in Princess Ankang's body.

At this point in time, Li Xuan had just reached the Blood Coagulation Realm and had only practiced the Ten Tiger Forms and the Blood-Slaying Tiger Claw.

In the practice of the Ten Tiger Forms, Li Xuan was no different from other ordinary warriors, because there was Deng Weixian as a reference, and this could be easily concluded.

But when it came to practicing the Blood-Slaying Tiger Claw, different changes began to occur.

For some unknown reason, Li Xuan can purify the blood evil in the fierce tiger blood essence, and then absorb it into his body and turn it into a part of his own power.

Although he can now replicate this process through the cold breath in his body, when Li Xuan first absorbed the fierce tiger blood essence, there was no cold breath in his body.

In other words, there were other reasons at that time that allowed Li Xuan to purify the blood evil in the fierce tiger blood essence.

When the fierce tiger blood essence purified by Li Xuan is absorbed by others, it will no longer cause severe pain, and there is no danger of people going crazy, and it is easier to absorb.

Deng Weixian can also verify this point.

In this way, if we do not consider innate factors such as race, in the process of acquired cultivation, only in the fierce tiger blood essence, Li Xuan is obviously different from other ordinary practitioners.

"Could it be that the collision between my blood essence and the tiger's blood essence is the cause of all these unusual things?"

"Is it because of the blood evil that I absorbed into my body?"

"Or is it because the tiger's blood essence comes from the Arctic tundra?"

"The Arctic tundra is very close to Xiao Fei's hometown, Beiliang."

"Is there a connection between them?"

One guess after another flashed through Li Xuan's mind, but in the end he still couldn't be sure which one was the real reason that allowed him to help Princess Ankang absorb the coldness in her body.

Others saw that Li Xuan was thinking seriously, and no one interrupted him, but quietly waited for him to come to the final conclusion.

After thinking for a long time, Li Xuan wrote his guess on paper.

After seeing the handwriting on the paper, Doctor Xue immediately fell into thought again, muttering to himself:

"Flint Tiger Blood Essence?"

"You guessed that it was because of the blood evil you absorbed from the Flint Tiger Blood Essence, or that the Flint Tiger Blood Essence, which also came from the north, was related to Princess Ankang's physique."

Doctor Xue nodded to the two guesses made by Li Xuan:

"This is also possible, but we can't verify it now."

Doctor Xue still has some understanding of Flint Tiger Blood Essence.

After he came to the palace to serve as a doctor, he deliberately inquired about a lot of natural treasures that would be used in cultivation.

These natural treasures actually contain medical principles, so they can have a wonderful effect on improving the human body's cultivation.

As for the famous Flint Tiger Blood Essence, Doctor Xue had naturally heard of it.

Flint Tiger Blood Essence is the most commonly used method for Zhao Feng's lineage to train core newcomers, claiming that it can allow an ordinary person to step into the martial arts in the shortest time.

But Doctor Xue also heard that there are actually considerable risks in it.

Now, according to Li Xuan, by purifying the blood evil in the fierce tiger blood, all the risks can be removed.

"This is interesting!"

Doctor Xue's eyes flashed, as if he had discovered some rare treasure, staring at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan was uncomfortable with his stare, and quickly picked up the pen to write:

"How is it?"

"Have you thought of anything?"

In this regard, Li Xuan already believed in Doctor Xue's judgment.

Through all the previous things, Doctor Xue has proved his ability to the three little ones.

If Princess Ankang wants to recover in the future, Doctor Xue's help is indispensable.

Moreover, Li Xuan can see that Doctor Xue has a great interest in Princess Ankang's physical condition.

"Do you still have fierce tiger blood here?"

Li Xuan nodded, and then took out a can of fierce tiger blood from the Emperor Hong bone ring that he had asked for from Shang Zongguan before.

This was originally used for Maoba and the others to practice the blood-killing tiger claw.

Doctor Xue didn't hesitate to open the jar and smelled the unique aroma of the fierce tiger blood.

He pinched a drop from the jar to his fingertips and instantly felt a bone-chilling cold.

"Has this fierce tiger blood been purified of blood evil?"

Li Xuan nodded.

Doctor Xue took out a small medicine bottle from his arms, and then said to Li Xuan:

"Give me some, I'll go back and study it."

This is about Princess Ankang's life, so Li Xuan will naturally not be stingy on this point.

After getting Li Xuan's permission, Doctor Xue took out his professional instruments, took a little bit of the tiger's blood essence from the jar and stored it in his medicine bottle.

"I will go back and study the tiger's blood essence carefully. If there is any progress, I will tell you."

After getting Doctor Xue's promise, the three little ones were relieved.

It is always right to leave professional matters to professionals.

For things that Li Xuan can't figure out, Doctor Xue may be able to get a more reliable answer through his medical theory.

It's better than them sitting here and guessing randomly.

"Why can you help His Highness absorb the coldness? Let's put this aside for now."

"What is more urgent now is that the coldness in His Highness' body is getting stronger. If one day, you can't help His Highness absorb the stronger coldness, both His Highness and your life will be in danger."

Yes, this is one of the most headaches for them right now.

As Li Xuan's cultivation continues to improve, his cultivation speed will inevitably slow down.

And the coldness in Princess Ankang's body has not slowed down significantly until today.

In the long run, the speed at which these two sides cannot align will definitely cause problems.

"You also know that I am just a doctor and can't give you any useful help in cultivation."

Doctor Xue wrote with a little regret.

At this point, Li Xuan did not have unrealistic expectations.

He invited Doctor Xue to come today, and he didn't even expect him to see some physical problems of Princess Ankang. He just wanted to use Doctor Xue's name to make Princess Ankang appear in front of others with a healthier image.

It can be said that today's harvest far exceeded Li Xuan's initial expectations.

He did not expect that Doctor Xue's ability was so strong. No wonder he could judge that Princess Ankang was incurable and gave her an expected life span.

What's even more fortunate is that Doctor Xue is very interested in Princess Ankang's physical condition and can be a great help to them.

At this time, Doctor Xue continued to write:

"But when absorbing the cold, I may be able to help a little."

Seeing this, Li Xuan looked at Doctor Xue with some surprise.

Doctor Xue immediately explained:

"Although I have some ideas, I still have to try it in practice to know the effect."

"So, next time you absorb the cold for His Highness, remember to notify me in advance, and I will come over at that time."

"Whether it is useful or not, it is also very important for me to observe the process of you absorbing the cold for His Highness."

Li Xuan couldn't help but look at Doctor Xue deeply.

To be honest, he never thought of letting Doctor Xue participate to this extent.

"You don't have to look at me like that. I know what I'm doing."

"There are many people in the palace who hope that His Highness will continue to be ill, or even die of illness."

"But I don't care about that. As long as you can let me participate in this matter, we can help each other."

"You can see that at my age, I don't have many years left."

"My only hope is that I can complete my medical book in my lifetime and leave a book of transmission so that I will have no regrets in my life."

After reading what Doctor Xue wrote, Li Xuan didn't say much, but simply wrote two sentences:

"If I find out that you have evil intentions, I will kill everyone you care about."

"Do what you say!"

Doctor Xue knew who Li Xuan was referring to, but he nodded quickly.

He had no evil intentions, so he didn't have to care about Li Xuan's threats.

Doctor Xue thought he was upright and didn't do anything wrong, so he was not afraid of ghosts knocking on his door.

Even if this matter was settled, Doctor Xue and the three children reached a preliminary cooperation intention.

As for the details, we will have to wait and see.

…

After a long time, the door was opened again.

Yu'er sent Doctor Xue out.

Zhao Feng, who had been waiting in the yard for a long time, saw Doctor Xue finally come out, and hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Doctor Xue, what's the matter?"

Although Zhao Feng was quite dissatisfied with Doctor Xue's attitude before, he still hoped that Doctor Xue could do something about Princess Ankang's condition.

After all, Li Xuan and Princess Ankang are deeply bound now. If Princess Ankang dies too early, it will not be a good thing for Daxing.

They still need a long time to establish enough trust with Li Xuan.

Before that, Princess Ankang must continue to be the link between Daxing and Li Xuan.

Li Xuan has proved his potential time and time again. As long as he is given enough time to grow, it will definitely be a worthwhile investment.

Of course, this is the reason Zhao Fengming said to Emperor Yongyuan. It is unknown whether he has any selfish motives in it.

"It does have some effect, but it is still very ineffective."

Doctor Xue told Zhao Feng what he had discussed with the three children before.

"With my attempts, Your Highness can become healthier. After some time, it will not be a problem to get rid of the wheelchair."

Zhao Feng couldn't help but look happy after hearing this. This is great news.

But then, Doctor Xue changed the subject:

"But it may not help your life span."

The smile on Zhao Feng's face froze, and then he asked in confusion:

"Why is this?"

"Isn't Your Highness able to recover?"

"Is it still impossible to break the deadlock?"

Doctor Xue shook his head:

"At least, I am still powerless now."

Zhao Feng's eyelids drooped, and after a little thought, he turned his head to look at Yu'er beside him.

"Yu'er, go back and accompany His Highness. I'll send Doctor Xue back."

Yu'er nodded and followed Zhao Feng's instructions to go back to the room to accompany Princess Ankang.

Doctor Xue's expression remained unchanged, and he stood there, twisting his beard.

After Yu'er returned to the room, Zhao Feng took Doctor Xue out of Jingyang Palace.

As soon as he came outside, Zhao Feng took Doctor Xue to a secluded place.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Doctor Xue blinked twice, looked at Zhao Feng strangely, and then said:

"What's going on?"

"Didn't I tell you clearly before?"

"Your Highness will be healthier, but it is estimated that he will not live past 18 years old."

Doctor Xue did not dare to say that Princess Ankang's life expectancy is shorter than before.

If he said so, at least Zhao Feng would probably not let him continue to treat Princess Ankang.

"Why is this?"

Zhao Feng asked humbly.

"I can't explain to you the medical theory."

Doctor Xue was not polite to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in front of him.

Zhao Feng was so angry that his eyes glared. If it were someone else, he would have let him taste his power long ago.

But Doctor Xue had a special status in the palace, and even Emperor Yongyuan had to give him some respect.

Medical skills are different from martial arts. With Doctor Xue's strength, Zhao Feng could easily crush him to death, but his medical skills are needed by everyone, even Zhao Feng.

"Not to mention that even I don't understand the problem of your highness."

At this time, Doctor Xue added another sentence.

"I just found a way to make His Highness not suffer as much as before."

"I will tell you the truth about this matter. I don't know whether His Highness can be saved."

"But His Highness's condition is crucial to my research."

"I will be angry with anyone who stops me!"

After hearing what Doctor Xue said, Zhao Feng was so angry that he pointed at him and said angrily:

"You!?"

"What do you mean by you!"

Doctor Xue was not afraid of Zhao Feng at all, and took a step forward to meet his finger:

"You know about my medical book, even you can't stop me!"

Doctor Xue has been in the palace for many years. In order to recruit Doctor Xue, Daxing promised to help him complete the medical book, but it has not been completed for so many years.

It's not that Daxing went back on his word and didn't keep his promise, but Doctor Xue was still confused about his medical path.

He finished it hastily now, and he will definitely be able to write a classic medical book that will be passed down through the ages.

But Doctor Xue always insisted that this was not the limit of what he could do. He felt that he had touched the thin membrane that restricted him, and he only needed to grit his teeth to break through to a new realm.

That was the best time for him to complete his medical book.

But even Doctor Xue himself did not expect that he would grit his teeth and more than ten years would pass by mercilessly.

Doctor Xue said his harsh words, and then left without giving Zhao Feng any face.

Zhao Feng was so angry that his face was uncertain, and finally sent a message to Doctor Xue's departing figure:

"I will report this matter to His Majesty. If you cannot guarantee the safety of His Highness, I guarantee that you will not be able to step into Jingyang Palace again."

Doctor Xue stopped and turned back to Zhao Feng and asked:

"Do you think I will destroy this hard-won opportunity with my own hands?"

Zhao Feng was choked by Doctor Xue's retort.

Doctor Xue saw that Zhao Feng did not say anything more, and turned around and left gracefully.

But the moment he turned around, a smile appeared on his face.

From beginning to end, Doctor Xue did not lie to Zhao Feng.

Even if the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had a keen observation, he would definitely not be able to detect anything wrong from his reaction.

Doctor Xue silently raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance, recalling everything that had happened in Jingyang Palace before, and couldn't help but say in his heart:

"The auspicious sign from heaven is indeed true."

No matter what meaning Li Xuan has to others, for Doctor Xue, the appearance of Li Xuan did bring a turning point.

Without this turning point, Doctor Xue might have died of depression.

He thought of the mysterious black cat in Jingyang Palace, and couldn't help but say in his heart:

"Ah Xuan..."
