Xie Qiudong, the Divine Healer

神医：谢秋冬

A healer who has made the backstreets of Pangzhen his domain, wearing a mask adorned with copper coins. His skill far surpasses that of his peers, earning him the admiration of the Transcended. But his treatments consume far more Sha-Chi than those of ordinary deranged healers.

His master’s tragic fate taught him that even benevolent healers may meet bitter ends, while his junior Xie Xiaorong’s obscurity showed that years of hard work can still go unnoticed. Together, these became excuses for his own wasted years and failed ambition.

When Perfect Transcension spread through Pangzhen, he saw his chance. Using his practice to lure in Transcended women of the Baishan Sect, he drained them of Sha-Chi, then gave a little of that stolen power to desperate people in need. Those he treated hailed him as the greatest healer of the age, while few noticed the piles of Transcended corpses.

The copper coins on his mask jingle as he greedily drinks in the sweet Sha-Chi. He gave those wretches a few more days to live. In his mind, that makes him the true healer who decides who lives and who dies.
