Chapter: 1017 (1/2)

AST 1017 – Healing Injury, Luo Clan, Heading for Demon Gate, Elder Zhou

“This is the youngest physician who has come. Chen`er, you guys can take your leave first. Let Mister Qing see if I can still be cured.” The old man seemed to be very happy.

Ming Chen and Dai Ze both bowed and left with a puzzled look on their faces. They had initially thought that they would need to go through a long persuasion before the old man would be willing to be seen by a physician. They hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly.

“Mister Qing, I find you very familiar.” The old man looked at Qing Shui warmly and smiled.

Qing Shui knew that the old man might have recognized him. He wouldn’t find it weird since back then, he had caused quite a huge ruckus with Demon Gate and Marionette Sect. With his cultivation level, it wouldn’t be hard to recognize him.

“Sir, don’t you think that you might have mistaken me for the wrong person?” Qing Shui smiled and walked over.

“Across the entire Nine Continents, there are not many who are your match at this age. How could I have made a mistake?” The old man smiled and indicated for Qing Shui to sit down.

“The damage to your meridian channels are not light.” Qing Shui said casually.

“Sigh, I was too anxious back then and thus landed in this state now. Why have you come to Fair Wind City and why have you come to treat my condition?” The old man seemed to be especially curious.

“I plan to settle down in Fair Wind City and purchase a manor. I didn’t expect that the manor which I took an interest in belongs to you.” Qing Shui also found it quite strange, the old man and Qing Shui seemed to have an affinity of sorts.

Qing Shui didn’t find it to be very surprising, since he had come across too many surprising and amazing things in this world. The old man had seen Qing Shui before and thus had found him familiar. Primarily, it was because this young man was a demonic level existence.

“Oh, that manor? I’ll give it to you. If you were to settle down in Fair Wind City, it would also be a blessing for our city.” The old man said happily. He wasn’t trying to intentionally bootlick, but seemed to be truly happy from the bottom of his heart.

They say as people grow old they become shrewd. Qing Shui felt that this was the case for the old man before him. However, he still felt very happy and said, smilingly, “Thank you for your kind intentions. I think it’d be best to look at your condition first. If I can heal you, then it won’t be too late for you to give it to me then.”

“If you don’t mind, you can just address me as Elder Brother,” the old man smiled and said.

“Elder Brother, then I shan’t stand on ceremony.”

“Haha, alright, alright!” The old man smiled jubilantly.

“Younger Brother, I know that you’re very capable. Can my injury be cured?” The old man asked slightly hesitantly.

“Don’t worry, since I dare say this, it means that I have the confidence of curing you,” Qing Shui said firmly.

The time taken for the treatment wasn’t long. Qing Shui was quite good in the healing of meridian channels. He took two hours, using his Gold Needles to continue strengthening the old man’s foundation. However, the latter would still need some time to quietly recuperate.

…

“Younger Brother, this is really too good, it’s unbelievable…”

“Elder Brother, I’ll go make arrangements to settle down my family.”

“I’ll go with you!”

The manor became Qing Clan’s residence and when people from Ming Clan realized that the Qing Clan had cured their Old Ancestor, they were extremely happy. The reason Ming Clan were where they are today was all thanks to this old man.

Creating signboards and stuff like that were all done very quickly and the Qing Clan moved into this great manor. Qing Shui was also very happy to see this. In the future, this would be Qing Clan’s residence in the Central Continent.

With that, settling in Central Continent was decided by Qing Shui. As it was situated in the center of the Central Continent, it was relatively convenient if they wish to travel to Greencloud Continent, Northern Sacred Lu Continent, Eastern Victory Divine Continent, and Southern Viewing Continent. Moreover, there were a few of his women in Central Continent, namely Hai Dongqing, Lady Duanmu, and Yun Duan. This was also home to Di Chen and Di Qing.

And right now, Qing Shui was having a chat with Ming Clan’s old man. Since there was such a suitable person present, Qing Shui planned to ask some questions.

“Elder Brother, you’re more familiar with this area, so I’ll need your help to tell me some things,” Qing Shui said casually.

“Oh, if you have any questions, just go ahead and ask. If I were to know them, I’ll tell you in detail.” Ming Xian immediately replied.

The old man’s name was Ming Xian, and he was the Ming Clan’s pillar, grandfather to the current head of the Ming Clan, Ming Chen. In Fair Wind City, they were considered quite a big clan, but they tended to keep a low profile.

“I’d like to know some news about Demon Gate.” Qing Shui paused before saying slowly.

“Demon Gate?” Ming Xian’s countenance fell.

“Mmm, what’s wrong? Are you feeling troubled? Don’t worry, I won’t get anyone from the Ming Clan involved.”

“Sigh, brother, it’s not that I’m not willing to say, but I really don’t know anything. Our Ming Clan isn’t even able to get a connection to that level.” Ming Xian let out a sigh and said.

Qing Shui was stunned. He hadn’t expected this. He had thought that the Ming Xian might know some information. However, after giving it some thought, he felt that it made sense. The difference between the two clans was huge.

“Brother, Demon Gate is extremely strong. Elder Brother doesn’t know what issue you have with them, but you mustn’t be reckless. You’re extremely talented and sometimes, there are things that we have to learn to tolerate,” Ming Xian said seriously and very sincerely.

“I understand. Oh right, Elder Brother, you should know of Demon Gate’s location, right?” Qing Shui smiled and said.
