The guards at the door, responsible for intercepting, didn't actually stop anyone.

They said a doctor should enter one by one, but when someone with a great reputation like a Divine Doctor arrived, how could they be refused entry?

Doctor Wu stood in place, watching Doctor Yun's departing figure, feeling inspired and uplifted.

When he started walking again, his steps were much firmer.

What Doctor Yun taught about Bai Wuyuan was just the beginning; how could I stop there?

My peers now have mixed opinions about me, but one day, they will respect me just as they respect Doctor Yun!

Walking further, when about to descend the stairs, he saw several doctors engaged in conversation at the stair entrance, all of whom were renowned doctors!

There was Doctor Han of Frost Pavilion, who excelled in the Frozen Stasis Technique to slow the deterioration of injuries.

There was Doctor Ma, who could heal or kill depending on his condition - a real 'life and death' doctor.

And there was the Bone Doctor, who was an expert in treating bone injuries…

Any of these doctors was famous in their own right; though not as renowned as Doctor Yun, they had made significant achievements in their respective fields.

At the moment, however, they were gathered together, looking worried, as if discussing Lord Hall Master's injury.

"... Injuries inflicted by Demon Martial Artists are the most troublesome. Those fully demonized are even worse, almost impossible to treat with conventional medical skill."

"Indeed, it's especially true since it's Wu Hall Master who has been injured. For other hall masters, as long as they remain human, I have some confidence, but with Wu Hall Master's demonized body... alas, so difficult, so difficult!"

"For a human body, I know every bone and their locations even with my eyes closed, but when a Demon Martial Artist loses control and transforms into a demon, the internal changes are so bizarre and severe that it's almost impossible to navigate. On top of that, each Demon Martial Artist's demonized body is different, making most of our past experience largely irrelevant – it's truly the most difficult to treat."

The three sighed repeatedly, and Doctor Wu could empathize; the inefficacy of Bai Wuyuan was likely because the target was now demonized, and Bai Wuyuan, after all, was a Medicine Pill designed specifically for human martial artists, with precise targeting and researched effects.

But a demonized body, in a way, could even be considered a demon's body, only halfway between human and demon, making the situation even more complex.

Research specialized in humans isn't enough, nor is research focused on demons; only someone who is versed in both could possibly devise a treatment suited for Lord Hall Master.

And the demon body of a demonized Demon Martial Artist is different in each case, which makes researching it an incredibly difficult challenge.

"I'm afraid only..."

Suddenly, the Bone Doctor below started to speak, but before he could finish, his expression changed dramatically, and his voice suddenly rose.

"Lord Ding Hui!?"

The other two physicians also spoke in unison.

"Is it Lord Ding Hui? You've come so early; I thought you wouldn't show up until the very last moment."

"Lord Ding Hui, do you remember me? I still can't figure out how the ossified bone you received last time became so brittle. Please give me a hint… If I had known years ago that you had such skills, I wonder how many lives could have been saved."

With footsteps sounding, the three famous doctors immediately surrounded a man and a woman who had just arrived at the stairway, acting humbly, almost like apprentices.

Precisely speaking, they were all revolving around the woman.

As for the young man beside her, he seemed just like an escort from the Foolish Underworld, not meriting even a direct glance from the doctors.

This scene struck Doctor Wu as odd.

The three below were all famous, masters in their fields, and now they were all circling this woman with enthusiasm.

If not for the fact that they were asking extremely specialized medical questions, Doctor Wu would have thought these three old men were about to forget their age.

Ding Hui?

Doctor Wu, who had been working in isolation, had no impression of this name.

Watching Ding Hui impatiently push past the three and taking the arm of the Foolish Underworld escort to go upstairs.

The three old doctors were clearly stunned.

"Who is this young man?"

"I didn't recognize him just now; it turns out this brother is not just here to escort Lord Ding Hui..."

"Lord Ding Hui! Wait for me! Let's go to the Hall Master together!"

Returning to his senses, the three elderly doctors hurriedly followed Ding Hui.

Soon, Doctor Wu standing at the upper corridor entrance encountered Ding Hui and the young boy.

However, Doctor Wu did not recognize Ding Hui, nor did Ding Hui recognize him.

With a terse "Don't block the way," he led the boy past him.

The three doctors trailing behind arrived at this moment as well, and upon seeing Doctor Wu, they paused slightly, clearly recognizing him, but couldn't be bothered to say more.

These veteran doctors, having long established their respected status and secure positions, were not on the same level as an up-and-coming young man like Doctor Wu.

Doctor Wu gave a small bow, about to greet them, when the three senior doctors had already moved past him, following Ding Hui.

"Ding Hui... Lord Ding Hui... could it be, the head of Research Demon Mansion?"

Doctor Wu scratched his head.

Just an organization from the Foolish Underworld that studies demons, why are these old doctors so fixated on it?

He was puzzled, but didn't dwell on it, and promptly strode away.

Indeed, as those people said, he has been quite busy lately.

If it were not for Foolish Underworld's summon, he might not have taken the time to come and treat.

"The production of Bai Wuyuan needs a large scale, although I've already started arranging for a medical hall and gathering doctors to begin mass production, everything requires my personal oversight."

"Moreover, the potential of Bai Wuyuan is further reachable, increasing absorption efficiency, making the effects manifest quicker. Broadening the types of injuries it can contain, to make its application more extensive, perhaps one day, a Bai Wuyuan could replace a whole host of Medicine Pills! By then, my name might even become legendary..."

"However, all this requires money, lots of money, a great deal of manpower and resources..."

Thud.

Doctor Wu halted in his steps, recalling the uninvited guest from last night.

"Black Tiger Gang, huh..."

"His philosophy, indeed shares some similarities with mine, that passion, the persistence to do anything for an ideal, also somewhat touches me..."

"Maybe, I can have a deeper conversation with him another time."

"He, Yu Wenwuji, wants everyone to be as powerful as dragons, while I wish to save the common people with just one Medicine Pill, allowing more people to survive..."

"In some ways, I am very much like him."

"To cooperate, huh... If things go well, forming an alliance with the Black Tiger Gang wouldn't be a bad choice."

With that thought, Doctor Wu changed his direction and left with big strides.

...

"Lord Ding Hui!"

"Lord Ding Hui, you've finally arrived!"

The guards at the Hall Master's entrance, who usually look on any Divine Doctor with indifference,

now changed their demeanor, showing their respect and excitement exclusively to the woman before them.

Without waiting for Ding Hui to speak, they promptly led her inside.

This attitude left many doctors at the door dissatisfied, and some doctors, unfamiliar with the name Ding Hui, failed to understand what was so special about this woman.

No wonder, as Ding Hui was only in her twenties, nearly thirty years old, all her accomplishments were within Research Demon Mansion, and hardly known outside.

Unless one specifically went to investigate, one's impression of Ding Hui would largely be just of someone bowing down to Research Demon Mansion, merely a researcher of demons.

Research on demons is something many renowned doctors might engage in.

After all, one has to understand the properties of demon materials, and hence might have some contact in this area, but they generally don't delve too deeply, focusing on research related to Medical Skill and demon materials specifically.

Ding Hui's research, however, goes as far as studying demons' living habits, from the triviality of their feces to the vastness of their ecological environments; Ding Hui dives deep into everything, a league apart from traditional doctors.

But there's always something to learn from different fields, and Ding Hui... is an anomaly even within demon research, not to be viewed through the lens of convention.
