”The Old Master is your grandfather?” Zhou Tian said.

”No, that's not it!” Master, don't misunderstand! ” Xu Wenlei hurriedly waved his hand and said, ”I'm from the Xu Family. The Old Master's surname is Murong, and we are not family at all.”

”You should have heard of Xu San, right? I am the descendant of that construction genius Xu Sanshuang, which is why I am in contact with the Old Master's lineage. ”

Xu Wenlei was afraid that Zhou Tian might suspect him. He truly wanted to learn medical skills, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed in Jiangbei Medical Academy.

”I would like to have such a grandson, but unfortunately, he is not my family's child.” The Old Master smiled.

Zhou Tian pondered for a long time before saying, ”I wonder how the Old Master wishes to fulfill this agreement?”

Hearing this, the Old Master was overjoyed. He was afraid that Zhou Tian would not say anything, so he hurriedly said, ”It's still the same as before. Master can ask for anything he wants, and we only need pills to strengthen our body and extend our lifespans. Of course, we will not be insatiable, we only need one Longevity Dan and three Body Strengthening Dan every three years, what do you think? ”

Zhou Tian frowned. A body strengthening pill was easy. As long as there were medicinal ingredients, he could casually refine three of them. The most important thing was that refining this kind of pill would make it easy for luck to come to him. Although he could not see much on the surface, but when he was about to experience a thunder tribulation in the future, this misfortune would erupt at that time.

The thunder tribulation was already difficult to overcome. Otherwise, this old man would not have been so defeated. If there was luck, then the future would have been even more difficult to predict.

But when he thought about it again, if luck was on his side and he couldn't pass through the thunder tribulation, then that old man would have told him clearly earlier. Why didn't he mention it?

”We know that Grandmaster has gone down the mountain to train and is inferior to your master in alchemy techniques, so our requirements are not high. It's not a problem to fulfill the Longevity Pill after a year.” The Old Master continued.

As long as he could concoct a Longevity Pill within three years, it would be enough.

”Sure, but you have to prepare some ingredients for me as soon as possible. You have to prepare at least three sets of ingredients for the Longevity Pill a year from now. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I will be able to successfully refine it.” I think you've worked with our family for many years, and you know what the Longevity Pill means to us. ” In the end, Zhou Tian agreed.

For the current him, raising his cultivation and treating others were the most important. He didn't have the time to choose a new partner to work with. With Xu Wenlei, it didn't look like that was a bad idea.

The Old Master was overjoyed. As long as Zhou Tian agreed, then anything would be fine.

After the final cycle, Tian wrote out a list of ingredients needed and gave it to the Old Master. After eating, he, Bai Ning Rou, and Xu Wen Lei left the Fragrant Sky Garden.

It was already late, and Yue'er was already on the branch.

The three of them strolled along the campus path.

”When do you want me to treat your grandfather?” Zhou Tian finally asked.

Along the way, Bai Ning Rou never brought up this question, which confused Zhou Tian.

”About this, there are some problems within our Bai Clan that a junior like me cannot meddle in. If you are a highly respected senior doctor, perhaps my uncles will allow you to treat my grandfather without saying anything.” Bai Ning Rou's expression was sad.

Zhou Tian understood what she meant, because he looked too young. Who would believe that his medical skills could surpass those of the previous seniors? If it was a normal situation, it would have been alright to give it a try. However, according to Bai Ning Rou, right now the Bai Clan was in a state of turmoil. His treatment of the disease was no longer a matter of simple medical techniques, but involved many aspects of calculation, and this was where Bai Ning Rou was in a difficult position.

Although she was deeply loved and doted upon by Old Master Bai, she was still a junior in the end. Furthermore, her father was far from being as powerful as her uncles.

”Perhaps what you need is just an excuse to bring my master in. You don't need to use the slogan of 'cure'.” Xu Wenlei slowly said.

To him, this kind of struggle between powerful nobles was not unfamiliar. Although he was fond of medical skills and was not interested in scheming, he had seen it clearly since he was young.

Ah!” Got it! ”It's going to be my birthday in half a month, and even though my grandfather isn't as healthy as before, he won't miss my birthday party. At that time, you can enter using my friend's name, and when the time comes, I'll find an opportunity to let you be alone with my grandfather.” Bai Ning Rou's eyes lit up, she instantly came up with a plan.

”What friend's name? Mistress, you are hurting my master's heart.” Xu Wenlei cursed.

Zhou Tian didn't have much of an opinion towards this arrangement. In the end, it was still about treating the patient, and judging from Bai Ning Rou's appearance, Old Grandpa Bai was still far from being cured. It was just that her illness was very difficult to treat.

”No matter what, I have to thank you.” Bai Ning gently looked at Zhou Tian and said with a smile.

It was as if a cool breeze had brushed against her hair. She was so beautiful that it was hard to look at.

”If I can give up my promise to find that person, I think I'll be happier.” Zhou Tian joked.

”You wish. One yard for one yard. Don't even think about getting rid of me.”
