Chapter: 1382 (2/2)

The Imperial Cuisine Hall was opened for business and the regulations were set once again. There would be a day in every ten days where free medical treatment would be provided. The Imperial Cuisine Hall’s unique regulations were still being spread out at a rapid rate. Because there were limited products, they weren’t put up for sale to the public and only the Imperial Cuisine Hall’s customers could purchase them.

The Imperial Cuisine Hall’s customers would have to pay an annual fee but not with money. The payment would be done through precious stones, medicinal herbs, rare items and other things. Right now, Qing Shui had a great need for medicinal herbs as well.

However, the operations for the Imperial Cuisine Hall didn’t go on as smoothly as expected. Right now, the business wasn’t considered good. There was an invisible power that caused many people to stay far away from the Imperial Cuisine Hall. This was what Qing Shui was feeling. He had no idea if it was those regulations the Imperial Cuisine Hall had that had scared the people away.

Regardless of whether business was bleak, Qing Shui didn’t care. If it was gold, it would shine sooner or later. He wasn’t worried.

One day, an old man appeared. There was a fatty next to him. Compared to how he was the day before, the fatty was already a lot thinner.

Linghu Tui!

The old man was dressed plainly but there was a sense of prestige that was coming from him. He smiled and entered the Imperial Cuisine Hall together with Linghu Tui.

“Miraculous Physician!” When Linghu Tui saw Qing Shui, he greeted him happily.

Qing Shui smiled and walked over, “May I ask if the two of you are here to seek treatment or for something else? If you’re here to seek treatment, then you must become a customer of the Imperial Cuistine Hall.”

“Customer?”

Linghu Tui was stunned. It was because Qing Shui was acting as if he didn’t recognize him.

Linghu Tui could only look at the old man and smile bitterly.

The old man’s eyes were gleaming as he looked at Qing Shui with a gaze as if he was looking at the most beautiful piece of jade in the world. He smiled softly and said, “May I ask what condition must one fulfil to become a customer of the Imperial Cuisine Hall?”

Qing Shui shot out a whole list of medicinal herbs as well as the weight and the age they were required to be.

The old man smiled, took out an interspatial silk sachet and handed it to Qing Shui, “Take a look and see if the things in here are sufficient.”

Qing Shui didn’t even check it before he put it away it, “It’s enough!”

“Linghu Yu thank the Miraculous Physician for saving Tui`er. Although Linghu Clan isn’t that great, we know that we must repay the kindness that had been extended to us.” The old man smiled as he looked at Qing Shui.

Qing Shui smiled softly and shook his head. “Although I have often provided treatment in exchange for some conditions, I have my way of doing things. If I need the patient’s help for something, I’ll tell the person before providing the treatment. If I don’t say anything before that, I won’t be asking him for payment for the treatment.”

“Isn’t this because you’re trying to catch a bigger fish?” Linghu Yu smiled and said.

“Is there a need for me to do that? My aspirations aren’t in the Dancing Phoenix Continent.” Qing Shui sighed and said.

His statement carried a lot of impact. How many people would dare to say that they didn’t think much of the Dancing Phoenix Continent? This was definitely arrogant. However, Linghu Yu had a strange feeling that this young man didn’t seem to be joking. However, a larger part of him was still disbelieving.

After all, these words were like a fantasy. For his aspirations to not be in the Dancing Phoenix Continent would mean that the level of the Dancing Phoenix Continent was low and area was small. He wanted to develop in a bigger place. Then, there would only be one place.

The Haohan Continent!

“I assume that Miraculous Physician Qing is already aware that the person who had attacked you was the Yelang Clan. I wonder if you need Linghu Clan’s help?” Linghu Yu looked at Qing Shui and said slowly.

“Not for now. However, I want to know some information. Will you be able to help me?” Qing Shui smiled and said.

“Of course. I can tell you everything that I know of.”

“Is the Phoenix Dance Organization very big? Linghu Clan should be part of it as well, right?” Qing Shui had always been curious about this group.

Linghu Yu hesitated for a second before saying, “It is very big. One-third of the powers in the continent’s capital are part of it. The Linghu Clan as well.”

The one-third wasn’t referring to one-third of the population in the continent’s capital but of the powers. The power of an army was not in their numbers but in their quality. Therefore, there were some people who could stand up against over a million or even tens of millions of people…

“Is the Phoenix Dance Organization controlled by one power or by multiple?” Qing Shui felt that Linghu Clan should be able to give him an accurate answer. Otherwise, he would have to wait to pay a visit to the Dongye Clan in the future.

“The Phoenix Dance Organization is like a sect with multiple clans in it. Powerful clans can take up important positions such as Custodians and Elders. However, even the clan which takes charge of the entire force would have to get everyone in for discussion before making any decisions. After all, the clan that controls the Phoenix Dance Organization can’t go up against the entire group by themselves.”

Qing Shui finally understood. He smiled and said, “How does the Dongye Clan compare with the Linghu Clan?”

“Linghu Clan is slightly weaker but both clans hold the position of Elders in the group,” Linghu Yu gave it some thought and said.

Qing Shui’s eyes lit up. “Then that’s good. I’d like to ask you about a person. Previously, someone had suggested for me to look for the Dongye Clan. I’d like for your help!”

Qing Shui smiled, took out Yan Zhongyue’s portrait and placed it on the table.

Linghu Yu’s countenance suddenly turned very strange and he looked at Qing Shui for a very long time. “You should have a very close relationship with this person, right?”
