Chapter 137

After checking Yuan's x-ray, Doctor Wang proceeded to test Yuan's blood and a few other things.

Once the results came back and there was nothing abnormal, Doctor Wang said, "Okay, I am done with your checkup, Young Master. Your body is as healthy as usual, and there's nothing wrong with your blood. In fact, I would even say that you're getting healthier every time I see you."

"Do you have any questions for me before I leave, Young Master?"

"Yes… Doctor Wang… Am I… Is my condition really caused by some unknown and undetectable illness?" Yuan suddenly asked.

After all, if the Translucent Dew of Flawlessness and Feng Yixiao's phoenix blood had affected him in real life, why didn't the phoenix blood heal his condition when it supposedly cured all of illness and injuries? Why is he still crippled?

"..."

Doctor Wang shook his head in a solemn manner. After a moment of silence, he spoke, "I've already told you this many times already, Young Master, but we cannot find anything wrong with your body. Your blood, your bones, your muscles— anything that could be tested in your body we have already tested and multiple times too. However, the results are always the same— you are completely healthy."

"With that being said, there's no way someone healthy would suddenly lose their ability to move their body and see, so we could on conclude that it is a new illness that can avoid our current technology. I'm really sorry that I cannot be of more help to you, Young Master. I am also really ashamed to even call myself a doctor whenever I am before you..." Doctor Wang sighed.

"There's no need for you to feel guilty, Doctor Wang. I understand that there are some things in this world that cannot be fixed no matter what, and I am simply one of those things," Yuan said to him with a smile on his face.

"Young Master… You are truly too kind…" Doctor Wang said, feeling an urge to cry.

'Why did the heavens punish the Young Master in such a way? What did he do to deserve this kind of life? This is too cruel even if the heavens are jealous of the Young Master's talents.' Doctor Wang sighed inwardly.

Sometime later, Meixiu escorted Doctor Wang outside before returning to his room.

"Do you need anything from me, Young Master?" Meixiu asked him afterward.

"Uhh… can you help me put my clothes back on?" Yuan said.

"Oh! Right! I nearly forgot about that!" Meixiu quickly went to put on his clothes as she didn't want to be responsible if Yuan catches a cold because of it.

"I am going in the game now," Yuan said to her afterward.

"I understand, Young Master. I'll head to school to serve the Young Lady now," Meixiu said.

"Have fun…" Yuan said.

'Fun…?' Meixiu thought to herself. While she found helping Yu Rou fun, there was nothing fun about going to school, where she must act like a student and a servant at the same time.

Although Meixiu is a maid, she is also a student at the same time, and because of Yu Rou, she got to attend the same prestigious school as Yu Rou. And because only rich and famous students go to that school, it was common seeing these students bringing their servants to school with them.

Sometime later, Meixiu left the room and closed the lights whilst Yuan returned to Cultivation Online.

After returning to his room in the disciple, Yuan sat on the bed and spoke out loud, "Xiao Hua, Feng Feng, I have a question. Can you come out for a moment?"

A second later, Xiao Hua came out of his necklace whilst Feng Yixiao emerged from his chest.

"What's the matter, Young Master?" Feng Yixiao asked him.

"Well… it's like this…"

Yuan proceeded to tell them about his condition in the real world without saying it's him.

"Wow, that sounds horrible…" Feng Yixiao shook her head afterward, and she continued, "If I had to live like that, I'd probably ask to be killed."

"..."

Yuan was speechless. But it was not as though he didn't understand Feng Yixiao's thoughts.

"Feng Feng, you said that your phoenix blood could cure all illness, right? What if a person in that condition consumes your blood but doesn't heal? Then what would that mean?" Yuan then asked her.

"Indeed, my phoenix blood can cure all illnesses. However, there is a limit to such abilities, as it will only cure mortal illnesses," she said.

"Mortal illness? What does that even mean?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Hua then spoke, "Just like poison and medicine, there are many levels of illnesses. In other words, there are illnesses only mortals can have whilst Cultivators are immune to them. However, that goes both ways as there are illnesses that can only affect Cultivators but not mortals, as we have different bodies and immune systems."

"Heavens… I didn't know there exists such a thing…" Yuan mumbled.

"Anyway, my blood can heal all mortal illnesses and most illnesses that affect only Cultivators. If this is a Cultivator we're talking about then that is most likely the case. If the crippled person is a mortal… then that person must have contracted something extremely rare and powerful that would even affect Cultivators."

"Is this person someone you know, Young Master? If that's the case, it'd be better if you find a real expert. After all, we're not doctors… at least I don't think so…" Feng Yixiao turned to look at Xiao Hua who shook her head.

"Xiao Hua only knows the basics," she said.

"A real expert, huh? Where can I find one?" Yuan then asked.

"I know of a few renowned doctors in the Lower Heavens but they are always traveling so I don't always know where they are. However, if I sense their aura, I'll immediately let you know, Young Master." Feng Yixiao said.

"Thanks a bunch, Feng Feng. I'll be counting on you." Yuan nodded.
