CHAPTER 1106: CHAPTER 1062: DIVINE LEVEL TEST SUBJECT ACQUIRED!

"Very troublesome." Hua Tuo said, furrowing his brows while twirling his beard, "His injury is not on the body but in the brain. There are only two treatment options: one is conservative treatment, and the other is the opposite. As their friends who brought them here, you should make a choice."

"Didn’t he already wake up before?" Sun Ce was taken aback; in his view, as long as someone with Inner Qi Manifestation awakens, there should be no problem.

Hua Tuo glanced sidelong at Sun Ce, "Does waking up mean he is cured?"

This one sentence choked Sun Ce almost to death, but he couldn’t refute it. The fact that Zhou Tai could wake up was definitely good news, plus Hua Tuo also said he could be cured.

"May I ask, God of Medicine, what are the two treatment options?" Zhou Yu was very calm. In his view, reviving Zhou Tai so quickly meant curing him shouldn’t be too difficult.

"One option is a craniotomy, opening his skull so I can treat him personally." Hua Tuo looked Zhou Yu up and down, then stated a treatment plan that Zhou Yu absolutely couldn’t accept.

As for Lu Yu, he was already so scared he stepped back two steps, Qu Qi’s face was sullen like the bottom of a pot, Lu Su felt his face starting to twitch, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were left speechless.

[I knew this guy was a madman!] Lu Yu screamed internally, wishing to turn and leave, but his feet seemed rooted to the ground and wouldn’t move. He truly wanted to see how this would develop further.

"Could you say that again? I might have a problem with my ears and didn’t hear clearly." Zhou Yu discreetly wiped off some sweat, stammering as he asked.

"Open his skull, conduct contact-level treatment, it should be curable." Hua Tuo stared at Zhou Yu as he spoke.

"You are committing murder!" Sun Ce suddenly reacted at this time and immediately roared.

The inner chamber of Hua Tuo trembled, with two taels of dust falling; the sound was loud enough to compare with Zhang Fei, with an enormously resounding voice.

"Hey, old man, are you reliable? What if you open his head up and then can’t save him?" Qu Qi said through twitching commisures.

"You graft shoots from one plant to another regularly, and haven’t you seen them die? Moreover, you cultivated quite a few superior plants." Hua Tuo said this, and instead, he was unperturbed. He had previously considered this approach; although he hadn’t put it into practice, he was confident he wouldn’t let someone die.

"This is entirely different!" Qu Qi’s eyes just twitched, admitting Hua Tuo’s medical skill was impressive, but this could cost a life.

"Have you forgotten how many times I’ve opened up human stomachs and treated them?" Hua Tuo said calmly.

"But that’s the stomach, this time it’s the brain!" Qu Qi didn’t know what else to say; he felt Hua Tuo was going crazy.

"You might as well talk about the second option?" Zhou Yu said with a bitter smile. If Hua Tuo could guarantee he would cure, he might dare to find someone to let Hua Tuo try first, then let Zhou Tai undergo it. But Hua Tuo only said it might work...

To be honest, Hua Tuo only dared to do this because Zhou Tai had Inner Qi Manifestation. Otherwise, with any regular person, Hua Tuo estimated there was a nine out of ten chance of death; only those who manifest Inner Qi could withstand such torment; if it were an ordinary person, they would die even if Hua Tuo used his talent.

"I recommend the first one, spend a month researching it, act within a day, and maybe he’ll recover by next month." Hua Tuo said looking at Zhou Yu. He genuinely wanted to try, "I can guarantee his life will not be in danger."

"..." Zhou Yu rolled his eyes, he could guarantee life, but would Zhou Tai suffer like this?

"Alright then, the second method is the one you saw before, requiring long-term acupuncture and medicinal baths, with considerably extended periods." Hua Tuo said helplessly, "This method requires a lengthy time for recovery."

Yet, although Hua Tuo had a look that couldn’t try craniotomy, deep down, he was quite satisfied with securing an excellent experimental material for long-term research.

"How long roughly would it take to heal?" Zhou Yu nodded, indicating his acceptance of this method.

"Three to five years possibly." Hua Tuo thought for a moment and said, "Because the cause is within the brain, without opening it for inspection, only this treatment can be used, and the time taken is a bit too protracted. I recommend the first type; even if it can’t be cured, it won’t worsen, and conservative treatment could continue."

Hua Tuo continued to steadfastly recommend a craniotomy to Zhou Yu; indeed, he wanted to practice. It was rare to have such a specimen; trying out various methods felt inevitable.

Zhou Yu felt his face must have twisted, but as a Sage in a high position, his Qi Cultivation Skill wasn’t poor, and he forcibly refrained from showing his anger to Hua Tuo; instead, he coughed twice, suppressing his rage.

"Let’s use the second method. If you dare secretly use the first one, it doesn’t matter if you’re a god or the God of Medicine, we’ll definitely make you pay!" Zhou Yu said coldly, but his tone carried an inherent killing intent that made everyone present sense a genuine threat!

"Don’t worry, I can at least guarantee my medical ethics." Hua Tuo waved his hand as he spoke, "However, with conservative therapy, I need to administer the treatment annually, punctually, and it costs little, but..."

Zhou Yu exchanged glances with Sun Ce, saying nothing, but in that brief moment of eye contact, both parties understood each other’s intentions.

"We’ll purchase a residence at Mount Tai to place him there." Zhou Yu instantly formed a plan; he was prepared beforehand; he had organized Zhou Tai’s funeral a month earlier, and placed Zhou Tai’s children under Sun Ce’s care, acting almost flawlessly.

Moreover, Zhou Tai had only a modicum of Inner Qi within, and unless someone manifesting Inner Qi checked, no one would know he was a top expert, so naturally, no one would notice Zhou Tai, allowing him to rest assured Zhou Tai stayed at Mount Tai for treatment.

It could be said that as long as the two did not expose themselves, Zhou Tai would be completely safe, and once Zhou Tai recovered, an Inner Qi Manifestation without surveillance leaving any place would be extraordinarily easy.

"If so, why don’t the two of you purchase my family’s villa? We happen to be moving to Ye City, leaving only a few servants to clean up. If these two gentlemen intend to leave this brave man in Mount Tai to recover, my family can offer some assistance." Lul Xun glanced at Lu Yu, and instantly, Lu Yu understood.

"Sounds good..." Zhou Yu nodded as he spoke, clearly understanding that the most dangerous place is often the safest. Associating with Lu Yu also meant associating with Liu Bei, reducing the probability of being discovered considerably.

Hua Tuo began examining Zhou Tai, determining his physical quality, then started thinking about how he should treat Zhou Tai from tomorrow. This was a body comparable to a perfect physique, with immense research value, just deciphering the resistance to all toxins and diseases was enough to initiate a new era! (To be continued.
