To call him evil, he couldn't bear to snatch the spiritual power of someone in a coma;

to call him kind, he casually spoke of a strategy that would exterminate a lineage, a plan that, if spread, might uproot the very foundations of the Cultivation World.

Everyone wanted to seize the power of others for their own use; who would still cultivate earnestly?

...

The Cultivation World was doomed!

When they left Elder Liu's mountain, everyone was in a complex mood, unable to think of how to counter Duge's strategy.

After all,

they also benefited from it.

But the feeling of virtually living for hundreds of years in vain was truly unbearable...

...

"Senior Brother Lu, have you considered taking a cultivator with failed organs and replacing them all?" Duge, seemingly forgetting the previous matter, discussed medical expertise enthusiastically with the elders of the Medical Immortal Sect.

"The junior brother indeed has a talent for medicine."

When it came to professional issues, Senior Brother Lu quickly snapped out of his dazed state.

No matter how vicious Duge's strategy was, it was not a loss for the Medical Immortal Sect.

It was evident that the junior brother was very interested in the practice of medicine.

Elder Lu stroked his beard and looked at Duge, saying, "For thousands of years, the predecessors of Medical Immortal Sect have conducted precise research on the human body. While people may seem the same, they are actually different, and this is true for blood and organs as well. These are the proprietary secrets of the Medical Immortal Sect.

To successfully transplant organs for someone, simple transplantation isn't enough. One must also consider conditions like blood compatibility and find a suitable person from thousands of people, which is quite difficult. Moreover, removing organs requires meticulous techniques..."

He abruptly stopped.

Elder Lu stared dumbfounded at Duge, suddenly remembering that with his Way of Heaven, even the poisons dissolved in the blood could be extracted; removing organs was trivially easy for him.

"Yes, Senior Brother Lu guessed correctly, any organ that I touch can be removed in an instant, and almost without any damage. I just don't know how to reconnect them," Duge, seeing through Elder Lu's thoughts, nodded with a smile.

However, the predecessors of his sect were deeply respected, and it turned out that this group of people had already conducted research on organ transplantation. One really shouldn't underestimate anyone.

But then again, that made sense.

Cultivators lived for hundreds of years, with keen senses, even able to see the spiritual energy in the air.

If they didn't research something in their spare time, they wouldn't be doing justice to their longevity.

It was possible that someone within the Medical Immortal Sect wanted to change their innate cultivation talent through organ transplantation!

"Junior brother, removing organs might not be an issue for you, but finding a compatible match is a major problem," Elder Lu shook his head and continued discussing medical expertise with Duge, "Every organ in a cultivator's body is important, and no one wants to harm themselves to save others. Plus, having lived for hundreds or thousands of years, our direct relatives are few..."

"Senior Brother Lu, there are many ordinary people in this world," Duge said, "I think the Medical Immortal Sect shouldn't just focus on cultivators but should also delve into the populace. There are more resources and complex diseases among ordinary people. The stones from other mountains can polish jade. With more advanced medical skills honed from treating common folk, we will be even more adept when curing illnesses."

"We still need to cultivate..." Elder Liu said, but stopped midway, swallowing his words back.

With Duge around, there was no point in cultivating.

Apart from breakthrough moments, they could spend most of their time healing and saving people, no need to expend time accumulating spiritual power like before.

"Sect Head Senior Brother, I plan to establish a health record database among the populace, aiming to record every person's information, and start an organ donation initiative. This will allow honorable people to donate their organs after death, for those who need them more. In doing so, many ailments can be alleviated, truly benefiting the world," Duge turned to Li Anjiang and earnestly suggested his plan.

Having seized enough by now, there was probably no need for further action; let it grow on its own.

But honor still had much room for improvement; it would be a pity not to enhance it.

Being a doctor is a good profession; done well, one can become a savior of thousands of families.

"The junior brother's heart is in the right place, but how difficult is it to collect the information of the common folk?" Li Anjiang was amused by Duge's fantastical remarks, "Just with our Medical Immortal Sect, I'm afraid it isn't feasible, and the secular nations would not cooperate either."

"I can do it," Duge said.

"..." The people of the Medical Immortal Sect were stunned once again.

Looking at the puzzled crowd, Duge smiled and said, "Respected senior brothers, I've gathered some wealth in the secular world, and many civilians rely on the Seven Star Gate for their livelihood. In just a few years, the influence of the Seven Star Gate is likely to expand nationwide. Having control over their lifelines, getting them to cooperate in doing some things is quite easy."

How could that be possible?

Li Anjiang instinctively thought to refute, but remembering the strategy Duge shared that could sweep the entire Cultivation World, he changed his objections into a question, "Junior brother, what exactly have you been doing among the common folk?"

"I took the Seven Star Gate public," Duge looked at Li Anjiang and said, "I can't explain it in detail right now, but if you have time one day, Sect Head Senior Brother, come and take a look with me, and you'll understand what I mean."

"Hmm," Li Anjiang nodded, still puzzled.
