However, she had no time to go and look for them because the General Elders of the sect had come along with the various Sect Masters and Vice Sect Masters of the different divisions. This was the biggest event in their sect.
When they appeared, she initially wanted to contact them, but had to stop. She raised her head and saw Wu Lingyu sitting in the area of the array sect. Wu Lingyu saw that she had seen the three empty spaces in the music sect and knew what she was trying to tell him, and nodded at her.
Ning Tian Ya led the group of them to the platform and sat down. Sima You Yue walked in front of them.
“You Yue, are you certain that you want to take the leaving examinations today?” Ning Tian Ya asked her.
“Yes.” Sima You Yue replied.
“Alright, what will happen next is that your masters will provide the topic that you will be tested on. You have to complete them before you can leave the Hidden Sect.” Ning Tian Ya said.
When they heard that Sima You Yue was going to leave the Hidden Sect, the sect members were not surprised. All those who took the examination had intentions to leave the hidden sect. It was just that they felt a little disappointed when they heard Ning Tian Yan bring it up.
In the future, the Hidden Sect wouldn’t be so interesting anymore!
“Who wants to go first?” Ning Tian Ya turned to the various sect masters and asked.
“Let me go first. It just so happens that these two **** Sects have taken in a sick person. Their illness is rather strange and they haven’t managed to find a cure for him yet.” The Doctor Sect Master spoke, causing the entire plaza to quieten.
The Sect Master of the Doctor Sect said that he wanted to test her? They never heard that she knew medical skills!
“Old Li, isn’t your test rather unfair?” He Lan protested, “You guys don’t have any solution either. If you make her do it, what if she can’t solve it either? What happens then?”
“Of course we have thought of that situation.” The sect master of the medical sect touched the beard going past his chest, “If she gives up, we have a backup test. As long as she can pass that, she will have passed as well.”
“Master, in that case, let me try. Sima You Yue said.
Old Li clapped his hands, and someone immediately brought a sick person forward.
“This is the patient who came to us two days ago for help. His life force has been weak, but he did not receive any injury. There are no other factors either. Try it out. See if you can find out the cause.”
Sima You Yue walked to the sick person. He was already very weak and his eyes were lifeless. His vital organs were failing and his skin was yellow. His body was frail and he looked extremely malnourished.
“Let me take your pulse.” She got the medical aid to put his hand on the armrest of the chair and took his pulse.
Sect Master Li walked to her side when she took his pulse, wanting to see if she would be able to diagnose the cause.
“His pulse is weak and his energy is sparse. The other symptoms are because of his lack of vitality, not the cause of his illness. No matter how I see it, the symptoms appear common.” Sima You Yue said, “However, if it were any ordinary circumstance, there would be no reason for his lack of vitality.”
“That is truly the case.” Sect Master Li said, “That is the reason why it is strange.”
“Master, have you managed to check whether or not there is any parasite inside his body that is eating away at his life force?” Sima You Yue asked.
“We have. There is none.” Sect Master Li said.
His life force was depleted constantly, so a parasite would be their first guess. However, after checking a few times, they could not find anything out of the ordinary.
“No injuries and no parasites, but his life force keeps depleting.” Sima You Yue touched her chin as her mind raced, trying to think of the reason why this kind of situation would occur.
Just as Sect Master Li wanted to ask if she wanted to give it up and take the backup examination, she walked behind him, took out a needle and stabbed it into the back of his neck.
“Ah-”
The patient who did not speak for so many days suddenly cried out as if he was going through a torment.
“What’s going on? Shouldn’t that be a place that usually doesn’t have any reaction?” The doctors saw what Sima You Yue did and knew what she had done.
“Ah?” Sect Master Li brushed the patient’s hair away and saw his neck. The area around the needle had begun to swell and he understood immediately. “I see. I can’t believe I didn’t think about that.”
“Sect Master, what is going on?”
“There are some people who, during cultivation, will form their own pathways in their bodies. Under normal circumstances, this will not affect the body. However, if a cultural deviation occurs during cultivation, the pathways will swallow the person up instead.” Sect Master Li explained, “This kind of situation is extremely, extremely rare. That is why very few people know about it. Even I didn’t even think about it.”
“Now that you mention it, I do recall it. This is very rarely mentioned in the medical texts and is pretty radical. I didn’t think that You Yue would actually know about it. She is really worthy of respect.” The other doctors agreed.
“She knows so much at such a young age. She really makes me blush with shame.”
“How do we cure this then?” Someone asked, “Does she have to finish treating him for it to count as a pass?”
“Nobody has managed to find a cure for this before. She has managed to find the cause of it, so she can be considered to have passed.”
“Because this is too radical, so she passes directly.”
Sima You Yue saw the person sitting on the chair, completely lacking any life in him. She heard the doctors tell his family that he was incurable and saw the pain in the eyes of his family. She said in a small voice, “Why not let me try, I’ll see if I can…”
Her voice was very soft, and barely audible in the cacophony of voices that were praising her and discussing amongst themselves. However, his wife heard her.
“Great Master! Great Master! Can you save him? We beg you, please save him!” She ran in front of Sima You Yue and knelt down, grabbing onto the edge of her clothes.
When they heard her cry out, the others heard her as well and looked over with shock.
“Great Master, you said earlier that you would be able to save him!” The woman raised her head and cried out.
Sima You Yue pulled her up and said, “You should get up first.”
She was not used to letting others kneel to her, especially in front of so many people.
“You Yue, do you have a way to cure this?” Sect Master Li asked.
“I can’t guarantee it, but since he is already waiting to die, I might as well try.” Sima You Yue said.
“Thank you, Great Master! Thank you, Great Master!” The woman who was kneeling on the ground kowtowed to her nonstop.
“Don’t rush to thank me yet, I can’t guarantee that I will be able to save him.” didn’t want to raise her hopes too high.
“I know, Sect Master Li has already said that this is a hopeless situation. I am already grateful that you are willing to try!” The woman calmed down and did not want to make Sima You Yue too nervous.
“Since you want to try, then go ahead. Who knows, you might be able to save a life.” Sect Master Li said. Then, he got some men to set up a temporary treatment room and sealed the place, preventing the others from watching the process.
“Old Li, do you have so much confidence in her?”
“You should be familiar with this child. She doesn’t bluster. Since she took the initiative to say it, she should be rather confident.. Even if she fails in the end, it’s not a big deal.”
