ACER-Chapter 5: Divine Physician Valley, Path to the Yellow Springs

Perhaps she was too exhausted. After stumbling again, the small Di Yange struggled for a long time but still couldn’t get up.

At the time, Di Yange really thought she was about to die, who would’ve thought that it was a huge trap.

A light rain fell onto her body, washing over her wounds.

Wounds like that soaked in rain would easily worsen, but Di Yange didn’t care. Either way, she had planned to seek death from the start.

Moreover, the injuries on her body didn’t cause much pain.

Very soon, Di Yange recovered a bit, but she found that Luo Ziyin’s breathing was becoming weaker and weaker.

Seeing that this promising villain was about to die on his own, she couldn’t bear it, so she steeled her heart and knelt at the entrance of a clinic.

At the time, she thought that if she died kneeling here, dying while trying to save someone, it would be a worthy death.

However, although her idea was very good, she didn’t expect herself to be so resilient.

She knelt for an entire day and night. Train soaked her wounds, causing fever and other symptoms.

She knelt there, half her face pale, the other half’s wounds already rotting from soaking, her whole body trembling as if she could collapse at any moment, yet she still didn’t forget to shield Luo Ziyin, whom she had placed under the eaves, doing her best to keep him from getting wet.

The people outside the light screen were utterly shocked.

If not for the fact that everything before them was shown by the Heavenly Dao, they would’ve thought it was all fake.

How could someone as cold and heartless as Di Yange do such a thing?

Finally, perhaps because Di Yange’s actions affected the clinic’s business, they had no choice but to take her inside.

After entering, even the physician was startled by the injuries on Di Yange’s body, but as the culprit who affected his business, he still decided to make things difficult for her.

He pointed at her and Luo Ziyin, “I will only save one between you and him

Upon hearing this, joy overflowed on Di Yange’s face.

“Thank you, doctor. You only need to save my younger brother. When I have money in the future, I will definitely repay you.”

Of course, the physician didn’t believe those words.

After all, Di Yange’s injuries were too severe, although she could still move right now, she might die within two days.

After examining Luo Ziyin’s condition, the old physician sighed helplessly.

“I’m sorry, I am powerless. Why don’t I treat your injuries instead?”

“I don’t want you to treat me. You only need to cure him. No matter what you want me to do,  I’ll do it as long as you can cure him.”

The old physician looked at Di Yange, who ignored her own injuries and insisted on saving her younger brother.

Then he thought of his own disappointing grandson, both were children, yet the difference was so big.

Di Yange suggested, “Doctor, is it because he inhaled too much poisonous smoke, so his internal organs are damaged? Can you take my organs and give them to him?”

The old physician’s face instantly flushed red, “How could I have such ability? In this world, only the Immortal Doctor of Divine Physician Valley can perform organ replacement.”

Di Yange’s eyes lit up, the hope of seeking death appearing once again.

“Then where are they? I must beg them to save my younger brother.”

Of course, in others’ eyes, Di Yange treated Luo Ziyin extremely well, so well that it made people jealous.

Especially those who’d been tricked by Di Yange, who gritted their teeth at Luo Ziyin.

After telling Di Yange the location, the old physician said, “Let me first treat your injuries.”

Di Yange, who loved seeking death, only shook her head, hurriedly picked up the still unconscious Luo Ziyin, and left.

She only took with her a straw raincoat the old physician had given her to keep off the rain.

Di Yange carried Luo Ziyin step by step, slow but steady. The rain continued to fall, and Luo Ziyin wore the only straw raincoat. The rain hit him, then fell onto Di Yange beneath him, mixed with the blood on her body, and dripped onto the muddy ground, leaving a long trail of blood.

The blood was so glaring that if not for her extraordinary bloodline, she might’ve already bled dry.

Carrying him, Di Yange first returned to the Luo Family that was now reduced to ruins.

After placing Luo Ziyin down, she dug a pit with her bare hands and buried the two deceased.

After burying them, she realized her hands were already in a terrible state.

But that wasn’t the point, the point was she still had to continue seeking death, so she carried Luo Ziyin on her back again and set off.

The rain grew heavier and heavier.

On the road, aside from Di Yange, who seemed numb as she walked, there was no one else.

The sky was already dark, thunder rumbled and lightning flashed, illuminating Di Yange’s face that was half pale and half rotting like a ghost.

Her limbs had already begun to ooze blood and pus, and the exposed wounds were horrifying to look at.

Yet at that time, she’s only eight years old.

Everyone fell silent watching this.

At least at the time, Di Yange was beyond reproach. What she did had already exceeded their understanding.

It’s hard to imagine that such a heinous demon could once wholeheartedly save someone like this.

Yet Luo Ziyin still stubbornly said with disgust, “Even if Di Yange really saved me when I was young, so what? She must’ve had ulterior motives, and she killed master and senior sister. The number of lives that died at her hands is far beyond billions. I… I will not let her go.”

“Hmph. It’s nothing more than hypocrisy. She possesses immortal veins, how could she die so easily? No matter how badly she’s injured, she won’t die.”

At the same time, Luo Ziyin stared fixedly at the light screen.

He not only wanted to find the culprit behind his parents’ tragic deaths, but also to uncover Di Yange’s hidden purpose.

……

From night to day, then from day to night.

No one knew how long she’d walked.

The rain had long stopped, and Di Yange’s wounds had become even more horrifying to look at, some people could hardly bear to watch.

Finally, carrying Luo Ziyin, Di Yange arrived at the legendary Divine Physician Valley, where Immortal Doctors resided.

The place was picturesque, it clearly looked like a good place.

Most importantly, it was said that one could seek death there.

To enter Divine Physician Valley to seek treatment, one not only had to line up devoutly, but it also depended on whether the Immortal Doctors were in the mood to treat you.

But there’s another tradition here, walking the Path to the Yellow Springs.

Of course, this Path to the Yellow Springs wasn’t the actual Yellow Springs, but merely a title. As long as one could walk out of it, the Immortal Doctors would definitely treat the patient.

However, it’s said that since Divine Physician Valley came into existence, not a single person had ever walked out of the Path to the Yellow Springs alive.

The small Di Yange’s eyes lit up again. Clearly, it’s time for her to seek death again.

The others who had come to seek treatment were all stunned upon learning that Di Yange planned to walk the Path to the Yellow Springs. They were filled with awe and sympathy toward her, especially seeing her severely injured state, making them admire her even more, as if she would die soon.

“Little brother, the Path to the Yellow Springs is a death sentence. If you go, you may not be able to save your younger brother, and you yourself may die there.”

“That’s right, little brother. Since Divine Physician Valley appeared, hundreds have entered the Yellow Springs, but not a single one has come out alive.”

The small Di Yange instantly became excited.

Wasn’t this the exact result she wanted

So she firmly insisted on going.

The still unconscious Luo Ziyin was arranged to stay in a place prepared for him by Divine Physician Valley.

Di Yange entered the Path to the Yellow Springs without hesitation.
