Novel Bin Chapter 998: Apprentice's Ceremony
Disappointment flashed across Linghu Chao’s face. At this moment, Xu Nanzhong stepped forward and said, “Little magic doctor, I am younger than Dr. Linghu. Can you accept me as your apprentice?”
The Rejuvenative Acupuncture skill was too tempting for doctors. He had no choice, but to be thick-skinned and make the request.
“Oh, no, you’re also too old!”
Qin Haodong didn’t want to be followed by a group of geezers wherever he went.
“This…”
Among all the famous doctors, Xu Nanzhong was relatively young. If he couldn’t be accepted by Qin Haodong because of his age, the others would have no chance to learn the Rejuvenative Acupuncture skill. All of them were extremely disappointed.
At this moment, Qin Haodong said, “You want to learn Revival Acupuncture Method? If so, I will give it to you. You don’t need to be my apprentices.”
As a doctor, he always shared any good methods he mastered with other doctors. The doctors on earth didn’t have Genuine Qi, so they could not learn Revival Acupuncture Method that needed Genuine Qi to manipulate the needles.
But it was different here. Every doctor of the Lingwu Continent was a cultivator, so it was most suitable for doctors here to learn this acupuncture method. The more doctors knew it, the more patients would be saved. It was a good thing with boundless beneficence.
With a thought, a book titled Rejuvenative Acupuncture Method appeared in his palm. He raised his hand and threw it to Linghu Chao.
“You can have it but you should share. Everyone can learn from it. It is a good thing if you can save more patients.”
Linghu Chao held the book in his hand. He simply couldn’t believe that it was real.
Generally speaking, the one who received this incredible acupuncture method would keep it a secret and would not easily give it to others.
They didn’t expect that the young man in front of them would just give it away as if it was a mere piece of garbage. This was beyond everyone’s imagination. All of them admired Qin Haodong’s magnanimous heart.
“Little magic doctor, did you just give this acupuncture method to me?”
Linghu Chao’s hands trembled. He was still in a state of disbelief
“I didn’t give it to you only, but to anyone who wants to study the art. All the doctors in the Lingwu Continent can study and master it.
“As doctors, we should focus on curing diseases and saving people. The more doctors who master this acupuncture method, the more patients will be saved.”
“Little magic doctor, thank you on behalf of all the people in the world.”
Linghu Chao held the book in his hand and knelt on the ground with a plop. “Little magic doctor, I really admire you. Whether you accept it or not, I am your apprentice now and will kneel on the ground and kowtow to you when I see you in the future. This is the apprentice’s ceremony.”
“Yes, little magic doctor, when I, Xu Nanzhong, see you in the future, I will also kneel on the ground…”
“And me, from now on, I am your apprentice…”
For a moment, these old geezers knelt on the ground one after another and kowtowed to Qin Haodong.
“Enough, enough. If there’s nothing else, you all can leave.”
Qin Haodong waved his hand. Then, Linghu Chao left Lu Xiaoyao’s mansion excitedly with a group of doctors.
After they left, Lu Xiaoyao said to Qin Haodong again, “Little magic doctor, thank you for your righteous action and for saving my life this time.”
“Righteous? No, I am a doctor. It’s my duty to cure any sickness and save you. By the way, you have to pay the consultation fee.”
What Qin Haodong wanted most now was the 10 low-level Immortal Crystals. After all, they could help him improve his cultivation.
“That’s what I should do.” Lu Xiaoyao turned to his housekeeper and said, “Hurry up and bring out all the low-level Immortal Crystals here.”
The housekeeper turned around and left. Soon, he came back with an exquisite box.
Lu Xiaoyao took the box and handed it to Qin Haodong. He said, “Little magic doctor, I have accumulated 15 Immortal Crystals in total over the years. Now, I will give them all to you.”
On the one hand, he was really grateful to Qin Haodong, and on the other hand, he wanted to make friends with this young man who had such extraordinary medical skills. Therefore, he was so generous.
There were two groups of people who were highly respected in the Lingwu Continent. One was alchemists who could help people improve their cultivation, and the other was doctors who could save people’s lives
No one was willing to miss the opportunity to make friends with doctors, especially Lu Xiaoyao, who had hovered between life and death for a long time. He knew very well how precious a good doctor was.
“Well… Thank you, President Lu.”
Qin Haodong took the box excitedly and opened it. There were indeed 15 low-level Immortal Crystals in it.
When he added the low-level Immortal Crystals in his hand, he had a total of 16 low-level Immortal Crystals now, which could help him break through the bottleneck of the Grand Completion Realm.
Lu Xiaoyao suddenly gave him five extra low-level Immortal Crystals, which greatly improved his impression of Lu Xiaoyao.
He took out a Dragon Power Pill and said, “No gains without pains. This pill may be useful for improving your cultivation.”
Although the Dragon Power Pill could not help a master at the stage of the Grand Completion Stage to improve by a level, it was still good for Lu Xiaoyao’s cultivation.
“Is this the Dragon Power Pill?” As an eighth-level alchemist, Lu Xiaoyao naturally recognized the Dragon Power Pill and said, “This is a good thing. I also wanted to refine a furnace of it before. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any dragon saliva. Where did you get it?”
“I happen to have a spirit beast with dragon bloodline, so this pill was refined by me.”
Lu Xiaoyao was shocked. “I didn’t expect that you are a seventh-level alchemist at such a young age. You are really not an ordinary person!”
Qin Haodong didn’t want to continue this topic, so he asked, “President Lu, how did you get hurt?”
“It’s a long story. You are my savior, so I will tell you the truth. My injury was caused by the people of the Ghost King Sect.”
Hearing that it had something to do with Ghost King Sect, Qin Haodong asked, “President Lu, are you in a feud with Ghost King Sect?”
“It’s not like that. They’re trying to plunder something from me.”
Qin Haodong suddenly thought of something and asked, “President Lu, do you also have the Black Demon Pearl?”
Lu Xiaoyao asked in surprise, “Do you also know about the Black Demon Pearl?”
Qin Haodong nodded and said, “I happened to hear some legends about it.”
Lu Xiaoyao said, “Since you know it, I’ll get straight to the point. My ancestor is one of the Seven Families. I happen to possess an ancestral Black Demon Pearl.
“Originally, this matter was kept extremely confidential. No one else in our family knew about it. I don’t know how the Ghost King Sect found out about it.
“When I went out to collect herbs a few days ago, the Fifth Elder and the Sixth Elder of the Ghost King Sect launched a sneak attack on me and that was how I sustained this injury.
“The Fifth Elder injured me with his Gelid Palm in order to force me to hand over the Black Demon Pearl. For the sake of the people in the Lingwu Continent, I didn’t yield.”
He Ziwei asked, “Then how did you escape?”
Lu Xiaoyao said, “The Ghost King Sect is powerful. Both the Fifth Elder and the Sixth Elder were cultivators at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm. I was seriously injured and could not escape. They let me go.
“The people of the Ghost King Sect naturally had bad intentions. The Fifth Elder thought that no one could cure my internal injury due to the Gelid Palm strike. His purpose was to make me so desperate that I would eventually hand over the Black Demon Pearl.
“It’s a pity that they miscalculated.” Lu Xiaoyao said to Qin Haodong, “I also didn’t expect that there would be such a magic doctor like you in the world. You cured my injury. Thank you very much!”
Qin Haodong said, “Today is the tenth day, isn’t it?”
Lu Xiaoyao said, “That’s right. According to the agreement, the people of the Ghost King Sect will be here soon.
“Little magic doctor, I am grateful for your life-saving grace. I don’t want you to be involved in this mess. You’d better leave quickly.”
Qin Haodong said, “President Lu, how likely do you think you can defeat the people of Ghost King Sect?”
“To tell you the truth, I don’t even have a ten percent chance of winning. The Fifth Elder and Sixth Elder of the Ghost King Sect are both at the early stage of the Grand Completion Realm. They are on par with me. I can barely deal with one of them, but I have no chance of winning when pitted against the two of them.
“However, the Ghost King Sect is always causing harm to the world. The Black Demon Pearl is an heirloom that can’t be taken away by the Ghost King Sect. Thus, even if I die, I will not hand it over to them.”
Lu Xiaoyao’s face flashed with a trace of loneliness. “In normal times, I can get some of my friends in Jianghu to help me, but it’s too late now.
“The people of the Ghost King Sect have always been cruel and merciless. You should leave as soon as possible. They won’t let you go once they get here.”
Qin Haodong had a good impression of this geezer. Moreover, he had just taken extra five low-level Immortal Crystals from Lu Xiaoyao, so he decided to help Lu Xiaoyao get through this crisis.
“President Lu, we have nowhere to go tonight. Let us stay in your mansion. If the people of the Ghost King Sect come, maybe we can help.”
Lu Xiaoyao said, “Little magic doctor, I appreciate your kindness and know that you want to help me, but I really can’t agree. The Ghost King Sect is too strong. You’d better leave as soon as possible…”
While he was talking, there was a sudden commotion outside the room, followed by roars, curses, and sounds of fighting.
However, the disturbance soon ended. Then, a low voice resounded across the entire mansion, “Geezer Lu, you are not dead yet, right? The ten-day deadline is up. Hurry up and hand over the Black Demon Pearl.”
Lu Xiaoyao said regretfully, “Little magic doctor, it’s too late for you to leave now. Remember what I said. Stay in the room and don’t go out. Leave everything to me.”
After that, he rushed out with his housekeeper and the others.
Niu Cuihua said, “Hubby, should I drive these people away?”
Qin Haodong said, “It’s different this time. Even if you drive those people away now, they will definitely come back to bother President Lu again in the future.”
Niu Cuihua said, “Hubby, how do you want to deal with it?”
Qin Haodong said, “Do you mind if I kill these people from the Ghost King Sect?”
No matter what, Niu Cuihua was the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect. He should consider her feelings before killing the people from the Ghost King Sect.
Niu Cuihua shook her head and said, “The Ghost King Sect has always respected the Strong. There is no sentimentality between us.
“And these people wear their masks the whole time. I don’t even know what they look like. Thus, it doesn’t matter if you kill them.”
Her words were sincere. There were only two people in the world who she cared about. One was the man she loved the most, and the other was her brother, Li Tianxing, the sect master of the Ghost King Sect.
Qin Haodong was originally worried that Niu Cuihua would object if he helped Lu Xiaoyao. He immediately felt relieved after he heard what Niu Cuihua had said.
“Since you do not object, I’ll kill all of them to prevent any future problems.”
Niu Cuihua said, “Then, I can do it for you.”
She was now at the middle stage of the Grand Completion Realm, so it was easy for her to kill these two elders at the early stage of the Grand Completion Realm.
“No. I’ll do it myself.”
No matter what, Niu Cuihua was the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect. Unless there was no other way, Qin Haodong did not want her to kill the people of the Ghost King Sect.
After that, the three of them went to the window together and looked out.
Dozens of men in black stood in the yard, two of whom were wearing golden masks.
One’s sleeve was embroidered with five golden skulls, and the other’s sleeve was embroidered with six golden skulls. They were the fifth and sixth elders of the Ghost King Sect.
At this very moment, Lu Xiaoyao’s servants had been severely attacked and were either injured or dead.
This time, almost all the people from Ghost King Sect were masters above the stage of the Combination Realm, especially the two elders, who had reached the stage of the Grand Completion Realm. The difference in strength between the two parties was too large.
After Lu Xiaoyao came out, he said to the people of the Ghost King Sect angrily, “Stop!”
