"Such righteous and eloquent words, but just look at the village chief's condition. Whose fault is it? You, just a mere Medicine Gathering Boy, can heal wounds even Doctors couldn't?" Great Mage Yang sneered.
"Trying, there's a chance of survival. Not trying, there's only death. Great Mage Yang, if it were your family member who is sick, which option would you choose?" Yun Sheng did not continue to argue with Great Mage Yang; she was very experienced in this matter.
Sometimes, the key to whether a treatment can be smoothly implemented does not lie in the patient themselves, but in their family.
Her bright eyes firmly rested on Granny Liu.
Granny Liu had already been woken up by the villagers. After hearing what Yun Sheng said, she clung to her as if she had seen a lifesaver, "Sheng, is what you're saying true? Is the old man really still savable?"
In the eyes of the simple villagers, they didn't care about magic or treatments; they just hoped that their village chief could awaken again.
"Then save him, Sheng. You've saved Granny Liu before, I believe you can definitely save the old man too. Great Mage Yang, this old woman is begging you, please do as Sheng said. Regardless of whether the result is life or death, I won't blame anyone," Granny Liu dried her tears, having been momentarily overwhelmed.
In her younger years, when the old man was still in the military, how could she not have experienced dangerous moments? And every time, her family's old man managed to pull through.
When he retired from the military, he even said that this time, he would no longer make her worry, that he would accompany her until they were too old to move, living their days well in their hometown, Banana Leaf Village.
The villagers were also infected by Granny Liu's resolute belief, and they too collectively pleaded with Great Mage Yang to save the village chief.
Great Mage Yang didn't say much on the surface, but deep down he resented Yun Sheng very much.
To save the village chief, he would inevitably have to use Light Magic, and someone of his caliber as a Great Mage, after using Light Magic once, would feel physically weakened for a good while.
Just as he planned to carry out the Magic Soul transplantation for the boy Ye Beiming, depleting his Magic Power, and all just to save a lowly villager, hmph, Yun Sheng, this account will be settled later.
Great Mage Yang reluctantly agreed to the villagers' request.
He asked all the villagers to leave, leaving only Yun Sheng and two villagers to assist.
He had no choice but to leave Yun Sheng behind, after all, she was needed for the later stages of the treatment.
Great Mage Yang took out his Magic Wand, adorned with two Magic Soul Stones, signifying his Magic Cultivation as a Great Mage.
However, the colors of the Soul Stones on his Magic Wand were not any of the colors associated with the Four Natural Magic Elements known to Yun Sheng's magic cognition; instead, they were two oval-shaped Soul Stones that looked like Han Baiyu.
Yun Sheng's most basic understanding of the Magic Wand came from the village chief grandpa.
The village chief grandpa told the children who had attended enlightenment at the Magic Temple that on Wuji Continent, only from the rank of Magician onwards does one qualify to own a Magic Wand.
A Magic Wand is both a symbol of wealth and strength.
The grade of a Magic Wand, besides being relevant to the Demon Beast Bone used in its making, is also related to the Magic Soul Stones.
After passing the assessment at the Magic Temple and obtaining the Magician's certification, one can go to the Magic Artifact Shop to customize a personal Magic Wand. A Magic Wand for Magicians is inlaid with Magic Soul Stones with Magic Power, and the more Demon Beast Soul Stones inlaid, the higher the rank of the Magician, forming a complete Magic Soul Chain.
From Magician to the highest rank of Divine Decree God of Magic, the number of inlaid Demon Beast Soul Stones on a Magic Wand are respectively: Magician (1), Great Mage (2), Magic Master (3), Holy Magic Master (4), Sky Mage (5), Holy Sanctuary Mage King (6), Magic Emperor (7), Divine Decree God of Magic (8).
Generally speaking, a Fire Element Mage would have Fire-type Demon Beast Soul Stones embedded, and so on for other Magic Elements.
If it were a Feng Shui Dual Element Mage like the village chief, then on his Magic Wand he could only choose to mount a single type of Demon Beast Soul Stone, which would be the major type of magic he specializes in. The village chief personally chose a Water-element Demon Beast Soul Stone.
This means that although he has Dual Cultivation, when using the Magic Wand, his Water Magic Power is stronger than his Wind Magic Power.
Since Great Mage Yang arrived at Banana Leaf Village, he had never revealed his magic attribute in front of others. This was the first time Yun Sheng saw him performing magic.
The Magic Wand waved, continuously producing white Magic Elements like shooting stars, forming a Magic Array that sparkled with stellar Light.
Water is blue, fire is red, wind is green, and earth is yellow; the white signifies the Light Magic Element.
As Great Mage Yang chanted, the Magic Array was completed. Countless tadpole-sized Light Magic Elements, like a layer of white mist, enveloped the village chief's extensively burnt body.
This was an incredibly magical scene, one that Yun Sheng as a doctor had never witnessed before.
The tadpole-sized Magic Elements were very active, wriggling their elemental tails as they competed to burrow into the village chief's skin.
The charred skin cracked open, the withered dead flesh fell off, the dried-up veins dissolved, and pink new flesh grew out rapidly like bamboo shoots after spring rain. The veins full of life force and smooth skin followed, rapidly growing back.
Light Magic?!
This was the second time Yun Sheng directly faced the power of magic.
The first time was when Ye Beiming used a Magic Fire Wolf to devour Ding Lei from Huoyan Village.
The second time was the scene before her eyes, known as the pinnacle of magic, the Light Element Healing Technique.
However, the first time, Yun Sheng felt the cruelty of death.
This time, she experienced the joy of rebirth.
Although the Light Element is magical, it is also the most demanding form of magic; it requires especially high control from the magician. After performing this healing session, Great Mage Yang looked more withered; he seemed to have aged several years all at once.
In contrast, the village chief within the Magic Array, whose skin was burnt by Fire Magic, had largely healed, at least from the outside appearance, he no longer seemed like someone gravely injured.
But the village chief's condition had not much improved; he was still in a coma, his breath and pulse growing weaker and weaker.
It was like treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. Solely relying on Great Mage Yang's level of Light Magic was not enough to completely heal the village chief's injuries.
"It's your turn now," Great Mage Yang showed a fatigued face, but there was a morbid glee on his face.
In the short few months of acquaintance, including the previously provided Hemostatic Agent, Yun Sheng had shown an astonishing talent for medicine, a talent that Great Mage Yang had always sought in his early years.
He was a person of narrow mind, and at this moment, as a magician of the Magic Temple, not only did he not hope for the injured to recover, he even secretly wished for the village chief to die a very miserable death.
That way, he could witness the young, ignorant girl falling into despair.
For him, the pleasure of personally destroying a talent was immense.
