"Brother Hector, back when I was still in the Mortal Realm, I was a physician; I wouldn’t speak carelessly without confidence," Carson Flores said, smiling reassuringly as he saw the concern on Hector Tate’s face.
Hector Tate paused for a moment but ultimately chose to trust Delaney Hunter and said in a deep voice, "Brother Carson, I entrust everything to you!"
Although Apollo Combs was interested in observing, since Delaney Hunter had spoken, he naturally couldn’t presume to stay; after all, the methods of physicians in treating diseases are myriad and strange. Some can be openly observed, while others are kept secret.
The method Carson Flores was about to use was surely no ordinary one; at least, Apollo Combs could not think of any technique that would heal the internal organs and stabilize the injuries without deteriorating.
Everyone left the room and the door closed; the room fell silent.
Carson Flores took out the Life Essence Pearl and placed it on the ghastly sword wound on Sarah Tate’s chest, then brought out the Water-Fire Mirror. Spiritual Energy surged forth and descended upon the Life Essence Pearl, as a massive amount of vitality entered Sarah Tate’s internal organs.
The damaged organs and wounds of Sarah Tate began to rapidly improve, but the improvement did not last long as the rampant Sword Qi once again tore through the healed areas.
Carson Flores closed his eyes and pointed his finger precisely on a spot on the skin.
Sword Qi soundlessly emanated, like a tailless arrow, entering Sarah Tate’s body and then precisely collided with a strand of Sword Qi that had just torn open the healed area.
The Sword Qi shattered instantly, the shattered qi pierced the surrounding tissues anew, exacerbating the injury. However, before the damage could spread and blood splattered, a large influx of vitality already swarmed in, swiftly repairing the damaged areas.
The bleeding stopped, and the damaged areas healed once again.
The Sword Qi dissipated, no longer piercing through the healed spots.
One after another, delicate strands of Sword Qi fell, dispersing the Sword Qi hidden within her body. As Sword Qi vanished, the previously bloodied and ravaged organs were rapidly healed by the life regenerated from Spiritual Energy, regaining their robust life force.
One spot, then another...
This process was lengthy. After all, it required meticulous care and could not be rushed.
In the blink of an eye, half a day passed. Carson Flores had removed all fragments of Sword Qi from within Sarah Tate’s body, and repaired her internal organs significantly. The wounds also began to heal. It was at this moment, Carson Flores stopped infusing vitality and put away the Water-Fire Mirror and the Life Essence Pearl.
Carson Flores did not completely heal the injuries and held back intentionally. Apollo Combs was an expert in the medical field, and if Carson healed everything completely and miraculously, it might give him unwarranted ideas.
Although she was not entirely healed and still appeared somewhat pitiable and weak, there was no longer any danger to her life, and with some rest and recuperation, she would fully recover.
As one of the ten great treasures of the Heavenly Mountain Cave, Carson Flores had to be careful.
In the courtyard, everyone was waiting.
Delaney Hunter’s expression was calm; she had witnessed Carson Flores’ ability to heal wounds rapidly. Together with his nature, since he had said there was no problem, then there surely was no problem.
The Maiden’s expression was curious; she couldn’t imagine how this man from the Mortal Realm, Carson Flores, could have a way to heal injuries that even the medical experts of Apricot Cloud Sect couldn’t.
Could it be that the medical skills of the Mortal Realm were even more formidable than those of the Cultivation Realm?
Hector Tate sat firmly in his chair, but his fists, which clenched and relaxed from time to time, and the anxiety at the bottom of his eyes, betrayed his inner turmoil.
Apollo Combs’s demeanor was serene, his eyes slightly closed as if he was asleep.
He believed that Delaney Hunter would not let Carson Flores act recklessly; he was waiting for an outcome.
A group of Maidens stood not far behind the crowd, daring not to make a sound, all with anxious expressions.
Just as Hector Tate was almost unable to suppress his restlessness, the door in front suddenly opened, and Carson Flores appeared at the doorway.
All eyes focused intently on Carson Flores’s face, and upon seeing his composed visage, Delaney Hunter smiled.
If he had failed, he certainly would not have been so calm and composed.
Hector Tate had also come to this conclusion and immediately stood up, his voice slightly trembling, "Brother Carson?"
Carson Flores smiled slightly, "I have not disappointed you. The Sword Qi in her body has been completely dealt with. Although she still needs some time to heal, there’s no longer any danger to her life."
Hector Tate was overjoyed. His figure shot like lightning to the door, and his gaze swept over the bed.
Sarah Tate lay on the bed; though still pale, her breathing had become steady and strong, no longer flickering like a candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment. The sword wound on her chest was now covered with sterile gauze, showing no sign of seeping blood.
With just one glance, Hector Tate knew that Sarah Tate had been brought back from the brink. He did not rush to her bedside but instead grabbed Carson Flores’s hands, his eyes filled with immense gratitude.
"Brother Carson, Sarah is my life; you have saved my life!"
