"Grandmaster Burrey, have you seen these medicinal herbs?"It seemed that Liam had caught the attention of Qassim with his gaze, the latter then smiling at him."Due to the current environmental conditions, some herbs are no longer suitable for growth. We've put in a lot of effort to cultivate them, but you haven't seen the most precious herbs. There is a special field dedicated to those herbs."Qassim seemed genuinely eager for Liam to understand the ways of the Medical Guild, so he patiently explained."The growth of the herbs is quite impressive."Liam could tell that the ancient Hestian medicine traditions of the Medical Guild were not entirely lost as some of the cultivation methods clearly originated from ancient practices.While they spoke, the pair reached the midway point of the mountain. They stood outside a grand building with a plaque that read 'Healing Hall'.Qassim said respectfully, "Grandmaster Burrey, I've already communicated with the acting head and a few elde
Hearing Qassim's words, the man standing in the middle frowned and asked, "Are you the so-called Grandmaster Burrey?"Liam nodded slightly, his voice calm. "I'm Liam Burrey. And you are?""I am Scott Winston, the acting leader of the Medical Guild in this generation."Confirming Liam's identity, the sullen elder let out a cold laugh. He raised his head, answering with arrogance."Grandmaster Burrey, although I'm just the acting leader, in reality, Mister Winston is the leader of this generation in the Medical Guild. Due to some special reasons, the guild hasn't had a true guild master for quite some time..."Qassim whispered an explanation from the side, "The one standing on the left is the Medical Guild's First Elder—Otto Hansworth. They're all very skilled in medicine, but maybe because they've spent too long in the guild, their personalities are a bit odd.Qassim pointed to the stunning woman standing at the back. "In the Medical Guild, the Second Elder, Raaina Gunter, has the
In the past, Liam had no understanding of martial arts. It was only after discussing with Howser that he gained some insight.To be able to sit like Otto and effortlessly throw silver needles into a wooden acupuncture model, at the very least, one needed to be a master with inner energy.Moreover, when Otto had flicked his hand, Liam sensed a faint ripple. He was certain that Otto was a martial arts Master capable of projecting his inner energy outward!With that discovery, Liam narrowed his eyes and began to scrutinize the three people in the hall. On closer inspection, he realized that besides Raaina, both Otto and Scott, the head of the Medical Guild, were martial arts Masters.The depth of the Medical Guild was indeed remarkable.Noticing Liam standing still without speaking, Otto showed a hint of disdain as he sneered, "Qassim, when you're outside, don't trust these young people with unknown backgrounds. Getting worked up over a simple trick—what skills could he possibly ha
Otto turned toward Liam, smirking coldly. "You're really wasting your time on him..."Just as he was about to speak further, a man in a long robe hurried into the Healing Hall and interrupted, "Guild Master, that villager from the mountain is back again."He approached Scott and whispered, "Isn't this ever going to end?"Upon hearing the man's words, Scott frowned impatiently. "Didn't I already tell him this? His daughter can't be saved! Why is he back again? What is it with these poor villagers from the mountain?"With a stern expression, Scott stepped out of the Healing Hall. Otto followed suit.Only Raaina showed a conflicted expression on her face, sighing as she also headed out of the Healing Hall.As for Liam, he was completely ignored.Liam did not mind that the members of the Medical Guild did not pay attention to him. However, he was quite curious about what was happening.Liam turned to Qassim and asked, "What's going on?"Qassim hesitated before he gave his explanat
A farmer, dressed in shabby clothes with calloused hands, knelt on the ground, pleading continuously."Please, I beg you all. I've always known that you're all incredibly skilled doctors! I've seen so many rich people driving luxury cars come to the mountains to see you for treatment! You must have a way, you can definitely cure my daughter! Please, I'm begging you... Please..."His voice echoed with despair across the open square.Beside him lay a little girl in a white dress. She was small and thin, her face pale, with a faint trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. Her large, vacant eyes stared blankly at the sky, as if completely unaware of the fate she was about to face.The crowd of medical practitioners surrounding them looked on with sympathy, seemingly wanting to say something. However, because of the two figures standing nearby, none of them dared to speak up.Scott stood expressionless at the side, his gloomy face full of indifference as he snapped, "I've told you ma
"If my daughter really can't be saved, then so be it! Please, sir, could you at least take a look at her? Can you check her condition?"The farmer had no other choice but to kneel and bang his head against the ground, pleading desperately with Scott. Soon, blood began to trickle from his forehead.However, Scott showed no compassion. Instead, his face flashed with irritation."I told you earlier that we can't do anything. What are you trying to accomplish by doing this?" Scott scolded the farmer angrily without even approaching the girl."Please, sir, I beg you…"However, the farmer, due to the repeated head banging, seemed to be losing his senses. He continued his actions, mumbling the same plea over and over.Raaina finally showed some pity and stepped forward to say something."Enough! If they won't help, then I will!"However, a voice suppressed with anger suddenly echoed from the side. Liam stepped forward and approached the farmer, stopping him from continuing his self-ha
However, upon hearing Raaina's words, Scott smirked."What do you mean by that? You don't seriously think this inexperienced kid has any skills to cure that little girl, do you?"I'm telling you, it's impossible! You're well aware of the little girl's condition. Her illness is complex, and she's already been given a death sentence!"Scott raised his head, his eyes filled with mockery. "Since this arrogant boy wants to invite trouble upon himself, I want to see how he plans to deal with the aftermath when he fails!"Scott crossed his arms, looking at Liam with a mocking expression, clearly ready to enjoy the show.He was not the only one.Otto stood coldly by, clearly intending to settle the score with Liam after his treatment attempt.The leader and elders of the Medical Guild all displayed the same attitude, and the other members naturally did not dare to say much. They stood behind, anxiously watching Liam at the forefront."Grandmaster Burrey…"Qassim showed a trace of nerv
Liam sighed heavily. It seemed that Naomi's condition was far from ordinary."Was her pulse that erratic at the time?"A cold sneer crossed Scott's face, standing in the back. "Heh. How overconfident!" From Scott's observation, Liam might have some understanding of traditional Hestian medicine, but that was about it. To Scott, Liam's pulse-taking technique was extremely clumsy. It lacked any of the mystical qualities that Qassim mentioned. With only that level of knowledge about traditional Hestian medicine, it was unlikely Liam could save the young girl. In fact, his rash actions might worsen her condition even more!Did that 'Grandmaster Burrey' really think he could find a way to treat Naomi by merely understanding her situation? What a fantasy!"Alas…"Raaina, standing nearby, could not help but sigh as she watched the scene unfold. With her medical skills, she could clearly see Liam's hesitation and clumsy pulse-checking techniques. However, Raaina had spoken up earli
