Chapter 184: Life and Death

Not long after, a corpse that had just died was brought to Feng Huan. The corpse was still warm, and because it had not been tortured or damaged before death, the surface of the corpse was not much different from that of a living person, unlike the dry and shrunken appearance of a normal death.

"Next, I need to cut open his skull and find out the specific situation inside. If you are interested, you can watch from the side, or you can avoid it on your own." Feng Huan said to the others.

"what!"

These people were all pharmacists, and they rarely fought and killed, and had never seen any bloody scenes. When they heard that Feng Huan was going to cut open the head of the corpse, they were a little stunned for a moment. Most of them turned around and left after a little hesitation, leaving only a few older people who wanted to see what they would get.

Feng Huan did not delay any longer. He took out a copper-grade dagger, came to the corpse, paused for a moment, and then slowly cut open the corpse from the back of the head.

Although Feng Huan had killed many people, he had never dissected a corpse so closely and carefully, so his movements were unfamiliar. In order to avoid causing too much damage to the corpse, he spent a lot of time before finally finding the small black shadow at the bottom of the brain.

"There is a fluctuation of the dead element!" As soon as the little black shadow was exposed, Feng Huan sensed a slight force of the dead element from it. However, it was different from the dead element power he practiced, but he couldn't tell what the difference was.

"Wow!"

At this time, someone behind him couldn't help but ran out to vent his bitterness. In fact, Feng Huan also had this impulse, but his spiritual power was so strong that he forcibly suppressed this impulse.

"Could it be that this thing caused the plague?" The head of the Yin family was quite knowledgeable and his face remained calm.

"The only abnormality I can find is this thing, but I don't know what it is. Does Master Yin have any ideas?"

"Just from the appearance, there is no way to associate anything with it."

"I can sense the power of the element of death in here. Other than that, I didn't find anything special."

"The power of the element of death... the black balls... spread diseases and cause death..." Family Master Yin repeated to himself, a thoughtful look on his face.

"Could it be?"

"What is it?"

"I once found an ancient book in my family's ancestral land, which recorded a similar thing, but I'm not sure if it is that thing!"

"That thing is called the Life and Death Wheel. Its function is to absorb the vitality in the human body, convert it into death energy, and store it. The death energy in the Life and Death Wheel can be converted into vitality through some means, and used to prolong the lifespan of others."

"Is it a living organism or a man-made thing? How does it get into the human body?" Feng Huan asked.

"According to ancient records, this is a modified substance that has some characteristics of living things, but it has no independent life and is completely controlled by the maker. It can be forcibly injected into the human body. Once it enters the human body, it can also be spread to other people's bodies through the bites of small mosquitoes."

"Mr. Yue, look, it's this little mosquito." The head of the Yin family pointed to the tiny mosquitoes flying in the air not far away and said, "This kind of mosquitoes can be seen everywhere in this remote town, but in big cities, because the environment is relatively better, this kind of mosquitoes is difficult to survive. This is also the reason why the owner of the Life and Death Transfer chose this small town."

"As long as we find the cause, we can find a solution!"

"Master Yin is indeed very knowledgeable and experienced. He is worthy of being the largest pharmaceutical family in the Shangming Empire!"

After hearing this, the people behind him immediately sighed and complimented.

"No, no, if Master Yue hadn't discovered it, we wouldn't have known about it." The head of the Yin family was sweating. How could he dare to say that his family was the largest pharmaceutical family now? "Although we now know what this thing is, we can only prevent new infections at best. There is no record of treatment methods in ancient books. And if the source is not eradicated, such things will happen again in the future."

"The most urgent task is to protect healthy people first. You should have mature methods for these things, so I will not get involved. I will first study this Wheel of Life and Death to see if there is any way to solve it. In addition, you send people to search the surrounding mountains and forests to see if you can find any clues to the source." After Feng Huan finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to anything else. He used his true energy hand to take out the Wheel of Life and Death from the corpse, and the corpse was immediately taken away.

"This thing has been in the corpse all along. How can it return to the hands of its maker?" Feng Huan carefully observed the cycle of life and death in front of him, and kept pondering in his heart.

The Wheel of Life and Death is a small round ball with countless tightly closed holes on its surface. Inside, it is made up of countless tiny spaces separated like honeycombs, and each small space is filled with deathly energy.

"These small holes on the surface should be the channels for devouring vitality, which will continue to devour the human body and eventually lead to the extinction of vitality and death. Even if the life and death wheel is destroyed, it can only release the dead air stored inside, which will only accelerate the death of the infected. Unless the dead air is converted into vitality first, it is possible to save these people, but can this dead air be converted into vitality? If a way to convert it is found, can these people be saved?"

"The essence of dead energy is the dead element. I can transform the water element into the wind element and the dead element, so the dead element should also be able to be transformed into the life element. Is life considered a void element? But I can only transform the water element into the wind element and the dead element, but I can't transform the wind element and the dead element at the same time. Doesn't it mean that I must transform the dead element into the water element first?"

"But life and death seem to be somewhat different. They are opposite to each other, yet they seem to be interdependent. Death comes only when there is life, and the essence of death is the exhaustion of vitality. So what is the essence of life? Is there a cycle between life and death?"

Feng Huan kept thinking in his mind, and all kinds of questions kept popping up in his mind, ranging from the elements of heaven and earth to human beings themselves, and the relationship between the elements of heaven and earth and humans.

"Why does this Life and Death Wheel have to devour the vitality of humans? Is there no vitality in the void? Don't other creatures, such as beasts and plants, have vitality? Or does the Life and Death Wheel have no ability to devour the vitality of other organisms? Or is it that the vitality of other organisms is incompatible with humans and cannot be used?"

The more Feng Huan thought about it, the more he immersed himself in it. He stared blankly at the wheel of life and death, forgetting where he was and what he was doing here. Only these clueless questions remained in his mind.

"There should be no life or living elements in the void. All life only exists in living things."

"The water element can give birth to all things. The power of water actually contains the power of life, which is why it can generate other elements. The water element may be the source of life."

Feng Huan began to try to inject water elements into the Life and Death Transformation, using the power of water to wrap the dead air in it, blending with it, and gradually permeating it. Under the guidance of the water power, the dead air slowly became different, becoming more active, and the color also changed from black to green.

Finally, the first wisp of death energy was completely transformed and escaped through the small hole on the surface of the Life and Death Wheel, then dissipated into the void, leaving no trace or form.

"Boom!"

After the last trace of death turned into life, the life and death turned into extremely fine powder and disappeared with the wind.

"Mr. Yue, did you succeed?" The head of the Yin family, who was guarding not far away, came over to ask immediately after seeing the life and death turning into pieces.

"I guess so! But if we try it on a living person, I'm not sure if it will work. Let's try it on someone who has been sick for a long time first! But we have to explain the matter clearly and get the consent of the person and his relatives."

"it is good!"

Not long after, a person was sent here, already barely breathing and not far from death. That's why the family thought of giving it a try. If it can't be cured, it will only save a little time.

Feng Huan placed his right palm against the Baihui point on his head, and a Nine Spirit Needle was inserted into it. The water force turned into a thin thread and followed the Nine Spirit Needle, slowly passing through the acupoints, like a spirit snake swimming in the gaps between brain tissues. After finding the bottom, he plunged into the life and death turn. In the middle, he perfectly avoided the normal brain tissue and did not cause any damage.

The most difficult part was completed, and Feng Huan breathed a sigh of relief. The next step should be to transform the dead energy. This part had been successfully completed before, so it was relatively easy.

As vitality is released, the dying person miraculously regains his former spirit visibly.

"That's great, I'm alive. Thank God!" The villagers cried for joy after saving their lives, and the whole family hugged each other and cried bitterly.

"The person you should thank is Master Yue!"

"Yes, yes, yes. Master Yue's kindness in giving me a new life will be unforgettable for me. Thank you so much, Master Yue!" The whole family knelt down in front of Feng Huan and kowtowed repeatedly.

"It's your fate. I'm just trying my best. You guys go back first. I still have to save others."

"Okay, thank you, Master Yue. You must be a god sent down from heaven to save the suffering!"
