Chapter 63 The Healer In Trouble 2...
Elder Ellen held her chest tightly in pain. She rolled on the floor as she gritted her teeth tightly.
A red miasma slowly rose from her body and her beautiful skin turned red.
She groaned as her hand shakily reached for a pouch at her side. Opening it, she brought out a small blue-colored leaf. The Leaf was cool to the touch and nearly looked crystalline in nature.
It was difficult for her but she persisted through her pain and barely put it to her mouth.
Immediately the leaf touched her lips, it dissolved into her mouth.
The moment he did, she felt a cool relaxing feeling go through her entire body, easing her pain. The feeling spread fast and rapidly, however, it still took some time before she could stand on her feet.
By the time she stood up, her gown had been soaked with sweat.
She took sharp breaths and enjoyed the relief the Blue leaf had given her.
She took her pouch and looked in it. The empty pouch made her frown, "I'm out of blue moon cold leaf." She sighed to herself.
"It's going to take at least a month to get more from that place and the extra I have is barely ripe for usage."
Ellen stood up. She looked at the blood on the floor and waved her hand.
Fire appeared and burnt the blood dry before she waved her hand and it all disappeared.
Ellen was part Elf. Although she was not a full Elf, she was still blessed with an affinity for elemental energy.
She called for her maids and one of them rushed in, "Prepare me some water. I want to clean myself up. As she spoke, her hands already moved to strip her dress revealing her flawless birthday suit.
Ellen strolled through the room to the bathroom. This bathroom was so wide, it could have been easily mistaken for a bathhouse.
Soon, the bath which essentially looked like a mini pool was ready.
The maids added all sorts of scented soaps to the bath, and finally, poured some special red flowers that gave one the impression at first sight that they were aflame.
She entered the bath. She soaked comfortably in it as she closed her eyes.
As she did, a maid by the side approached her and bowed, "Elder Ellen! there is a message for you."
"Who is it from!?" She asked without opening her eyes.
"It's from the Healer Association!"
She waved her hand, "bring it here." The moment Elder Ellen read it, she frowned.
The letter was labeled: ELDER STATUS DEFENCE.
"Those little ungrateful idiots!" She cursed lowly, squeezing the paper in her hand before setting it aflame.
Meanwhile, outside the gates of the Manor, Emma remained after people had cried and begged all they would, someone suggested that since Elder Ellen was not available, they moved to Elders Van and Gran for help.
Ellen was known as the greatest Healer in many clans around. But that did not mean she was the only one. The people still waiting at the gate of the manor agreed and packed their things and left.
The only person that remained standing in front of the gate, was Emma.
After a while of waiting, Emma was sure that it was time to act. After all, she understood that matters regarding Chiron's business were to be kept confidential.
She walked to the gates and knocked. However, no one responded. After a while, a voice came from inside, "Elder Ellen is too tired at the moment. Please come back another time."
"I'm here with a message from Elder Aleen's residence."
Emma was smart. She knew that if she mentioned Chiron's name, then she would not be given any attention. The only thing she could do was use Aleen's name in other to be able to get the opportunity to pass along the message that Chiron had sent her.
The gate slowly opened and a young lady in a maid outfit stepped out.
Knowing her plan had worked, Emma smiled.
"I have a message from Elder Aleen's residence for Elder Ellen."
The maid nodded and presented her palm.
Emma sighed, She removed the two blue beast cores Chiron had given her and handed them over to the maid. And then, she handed over the piece of paper.
The maid nodded, before leaving.
Meanwhile, Ellen was fuming in anger. The letter she had just received, was from the Healers Association.
At the moment, her position as head of the association was being challenged. Elder Van and Elder gran had joined forces to see that she was removed from her position.
The letter that had just been sent was a challenge for Ellen to come and defend her Elder status.
Being an Elder was a status in the clan, however, it was one that could be challenged at any time. The title of Elder was given based on different ranks in particular fields.
For cultivation, it was given once the individual was of the early copper rank.
The Healer association also had its own system based on the abilities that healers could accomplish. Just like how Spirit energy was used with one's sword to produce fighting techniques, it could also be used to produce healing techniques.
An Elder was usually required to defend their status when they had fallen in cultivation, or inability as to the quality of worthiness of their status.
For Elder Ellen, this was the first time this was happening. Never ever had her status as an elder been questioned.
Even though she was angry, she knew that it meant that Elder Van and Gran had discovered traces of her illness.
She was currently in the weakest state she had ever been in. And these two that she had groomed for years since they were just orphans, saw it as an opportunity for them to climb to the top.
In truth, she really did not mind giving up the position as head of the Healer's association.
The only reason she needed it was because of a particular privilege that was required of the position. This privilege ensured that she gathered materials for a particular...
