World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

Chapter 224: The art of healing is flourishing

"Mr. Wang, the matter is of great importance, and we can no longer make the decision. Please come with us to see the Sect Leader for a final judgment, if that's alright?" Long, the medical cultivator, pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Of course," Du Ge nodded, "But first, I would ask the physicians to find someone to reattach the limbs for my fellow cultivators at the repair institute. They share my vision and are willing to follow me; I cannot let them down."

"Certainly," the medical cultivator glanced at Xu Heming and the others, "Junior Brother Wang, please help them with their arms. We will take Mr. Wang to see the Sect Leader."

"Mm-hmm," Junior Brother Wang nodded and approached Xu Heming and the others, "Follow me."

Xu Heming and the others looked worriedly at Du Ge.

Du Ge smiled at them: "Don't worry, restoring the grand principles of the cultivation technique is beneficial to everyone and harms none. I trust the great physicians of the Medical Immortal Valley. They've been so busy healing and saving lives that they've neglected their own cultivation. Relying on spirit stones and spiritual energy for cultivation is slow, which is why the Medical Immortal Sect falls behind other great sects.

Even if we can't restore the grand principles, with me here, I can directly extract spiritual power from patients with higher realms to supplement the physicians, which is much faster than collecting spirit stones.

Both publicly and privately, they have no reason to harm me. With this cultivation technique, the path of healing will flourish in the world. You all just focus on recovering from your injuries."

The medical cultivator was visibly shaken and turned to another healer: "Junior Brother Liu, please invite the Elders to meet with the Sect Leader as well. Sir, please."

Du Ge smiled and followed behind the medical cultivator.

Facing a single person, there would indeed be risks in his actions, but with a group, he was a treasure.

Previously, he had taken great risks to fight a Golden Elixir cultivator while only at the Foundation Establishment stage.

This time, with the Medical Immortal Valley having Divine Transformation realm cultivators, he needed to be clever to minimize the risks, as the institute head had said, tricking his Elemental Infant master to come, growing step by step. It was a bit inefficient and, obviously, riskier.

The junior sister stood up, wanting to go with Du Ge, but was held back by the seventh junior brother.

The seventh junior brother shook his head slightly at her.

Du Ge was now facing Divine Transformation realm cultivators; following him would be of no help and might even be a burden. It was better not to go.

...

In the Medical Immortal Cave.

Many masters of the Medical Immortal Sect gathered, led by an old man with the appearance of a child and white hair. He sat there, exuding an almost imperceptible aura of authority.

Du Ge could clearly feel that the spiritual energy in the cave was unconsciously flowing into his body, forming one vortex after another.

In other words.

Cultivating in the same place, those with lower realms would have all their spiritual energy taken by him.

Beside him sat two other elders in the same situation.

Is this the Divine Transformation realm?

So the Divine Transformation realm isn't just one, but three.

Beside them, there were more than twenty middle-aged or elderly people whose cultivation Du Ge could not see through; they were probably at the Elemental Infant or Golden Elixir peak. Long, the medical cultivator, and others stood behind these people.

"Junior Wang Chong pays respects to the Sect Leader," Du Ge respectfully saluted the Sect Leader.

The Sect Leader glanced at him and said, "I have heard of your matter. Come forward and verify your sect's cultivation technique on me."

"Following the Sect Leader's command," Du Ge stepped forward, feeling a pressure as he approached the Sect Leader that made him pause, but he quickly adapted and continued walking.

The Sect Leader's eyebrows twitched slightly as he took another look at Du Ge but said nothing.

"Sect Leader, please forgive my offense. I'm not very skilled in my cultivation technique yet, and every time I absorb someone else's power, I will inadvertently take one of their garments. Please don't mind," Du Ge said cautiously, standing beside the Sect Leader.

"It's fine, just proceed," the Sect Leader nodded with a smile.

Du Ge gave a shy smile and resolutely reached out his hand.

The next second.

A torrent of spiritual power surged through the meridians in his hand and into his dantian, merging into his Golden Elixir.

This was an unprecedentedly rich spiritual power.

In an instant, his realm was pushed to the peak of the Golden Elixir stage.

"Hmm?"

The Sect Leader seemed not to have expected Du Ge to absorb spiritual power so quickly and subconsciously furrowed his brow.

Then.

A repelling force came.

Du Ge's hand, which was touching his arm, was pushed aside, and his coat came off with it...

The Sect Leader, looking at his suddenly detached coat, was slightly stunned and furrowed his brow, seemingly not understanding the principle behind it.

Du Ge looked embarrassed and handed the coat back, feeling fortunate in his heart that he hadn't forcefully attacked the Medical Immortal Sect.

The Divine Transformation realm had reached the ultimate control over spiritual power; even if he advanced to the Elemental Infant stage, he would not have the chance to touch them.

The Divine Transformation realm could indeed be called immortal.

"Sect Leader, how is it? Is it as he claims?" the elder next to him asked curiously.

"Wang Chong, let everyone experience your cultivation technique," the Sect Leader instructed.

Du Ge nodded and saluted everyone again.

Then.

He plundered a massive amount of power from these cultivators, far surpassing his own, until the last one, when his Golden Elixir had grown to the size of an egg, and there was a faint tendency to transform into a human form...

It must be said, the spiritual power of these masters was incredibly profound.

Moreover, as a Golden Elixir stage cultivator plundering from Divine Transformation realm masters, his attributes soared, and the speed of absorbing others' power noticeably increased.

"Demonic technique, Sect Leader, to instantly seize the hard-earned power of others for oneself, this is a demonic technique! This technique must not be spread to the world," an Elemental Infant Elder exclaimed in horror, looking at Du Ge with a trembling voice.

The Sect Leader ignored him and turned to Du Ge: "Wang Chong, you mentioned there's a way of humanity, to give back spiritual power to those with less than you?"

"Sect Leader, bring a Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment disciple, and you will see," Du Ge said confidently, "The way of heaven is to take from the excess to supplement the insufficient. To be precise, I cannot extract spiritual power from those with lower cultivation than me, only give back."

Soon.

They brought a Qi Refining and a Foundation Establishment disciple for Du Ge to demonstrate the power of heaven's way.

Seeing the two disciples' power raised to the peak of their realms in an instant, ready to break through with just a little push, all the Elders of the Medical Immortal Valley fell silent.

Even the Elder who had been shouting about demonic techniques fell quiet.

"To take from the excess to supplement the insufficient, to take from the insufficient to serve the excess, it indeed nearly approaches the Dao!" the Sect Leader examined the two disciples whose power had been raised and sighed, "Wang Chong, would you be willing to join our Medical Immortal Sect?"

"Sect Leader, since I was young, I have always admired healers. Otherwise, I would not have brought this cultivation technique to the Medical Immortal Sect," Du Ge smiled, "Sect Leader, you have also experienced the domineering nature of this technique. The Seven Stars Sect could never protect it.

If handed over to other great sects, it might bring chaos and bloodshed to the world. Those sect leaders would not allow this technique to threaten their positions and might eliminate me to secure their power.

But healers have kind hearts, and I believe they would not harm me because of a technique. The great physicians, with this technique, would not endanger the world.

Most importantly, the Dao Sect, Sword Sect, and Demon Sect, relying on their martial strength, control higher cultivation resources. Meanwhile, healers, who spend much time healing and saving lives, have less renown and not even a single Mahayana realm cultivator. I believe healers should not be so declined. With this technique, it can help the Medical Sect to thrive."

"Well said. The Medical Sect shall prosper," the Sect Leader applauded and laughed, "Wang Chong, I didn't expect someone of your young age to have such a kind heart, truly fitting to join our sect!"

"Sect Leader, I also don't want the technique my master worked so hard to create to be lost or branded as demonic and shunned," Du Ge sighed, "This technique can also be used to heal and save lives.

Moreover, my master said that when practiced to a high level, this technique can seize the essence of heaven and earth for oneself, which is the true understanding of the Dao.

With my limited talent, I'm afraid I'll never fully grasp the true essence of this technique. Coming to the Medical Immortal Valley, I also wish to borrow the wisdom of the great physicians to jointly study this technique, restore the grand principles destroyed by my master, and advance this technique to greater heights..."

To seize the essence of heaven and earth for oneself?

The many Elders of the Medical Immortal Valley looked at each other, seeing greed in each other's eyes.

This was a great opportunity delivered to their doorstep!

"Good, we shall study this technique together," the Sect Leader looked at Du Ge, then shook his head, "Wang Chong, I had intended to take you as my disciple, but your master's technique is close to the way of creation, and with my abilities, I'm afraid I can't teach you. Instead, I will take you as a fellow disciple in place of your master, and we shall call each other brothers. Your master's tablet can also be enshrined in our Medical Immortal Sect..."

"My master's tablet can also be enshrined in the Medical Immortal Sect?" Du Ge seemed stunned by the good news.

"Of course," the Sect Leader smiled, "Junior Brother, your technique will greatly benefit our medical path, and everyone in the Medical Immortal Sect owes your master a great debt of gratitude. It is only right that your master receives such an honor..."

"Thank you, Sect Leader," Du Ge looked at the Sect Leader gratefully and bowed deeply.
