AST 1996 - Sacred Medicine Palace, Greed, Kidnapped (1/2)

The others also understood. It was just that they didn’t know why the old man seemed to think very highly of the young man.

“Father, Do you think it’s necessary for us to protect the Imperial Cuisine Hall?” Zhang Danfeng asked the old man from before.

“Yes, but don’t come out unless the situation is urgent.”

Zhang Dianfeng nodded after listening to what the old man had said. He understood that if he stepped in even for minor problems, it would seem like he was returning his debts. If instead, he only interrupted when they were in dangerous situations, it would have the best effect.

Meanwhile, situated on the top of a mountain in Great Shang City, this place was exploited by men. There were a lot of manors here and the environment was also really great. The air was refreshing. This place was the headquarter for the Sacred Medicine Palace.

“You have mentioned that the Imperial Cuisine Hall had the cure to Zhang Miaoyun’s problem. Is that true?”

The person speaking was an old man. He was dressed in a plain gown and had thick brows and bright eyes. He didn’t really seem that sharp but it was more of a dignified feeling. The person standing opposite him was a middle-aged man. He had a huge figure and was wearing a grey gown. The middle-aged man had a very ordinary look.

“Indeed. Zhang Miaoyun’s Dantian had begun gathering Qi again. Though it has yet to fully recover, it could already be confirmed that the Imperial Cuisine Hall was able to cure Zhang Miaoyun.” The middle-aged man reported in a firm tone.

“This is indeed a surprise. Not only was his Dantian crippled but his meridians has even snapped. No one has been able to cure him so far. That could almost already be classified as a terminal illness which targeted one’s cultivations specifically. When a person ends up like this, there would basically be no way for him to continue cultivating. The cultivations he had from before would also be crippled completely.”

There had been too many people who had lost their cultivation from injuring their Dantian or meridians. Among them, there were those with high and low cultivations. It didn’t matter what levels their cultivations were at. The impact of having one’s cultivations completely lost wasn’t something which anyone could take. Usually, it wouldn’t take long until they end their own lives. This was even more commonly seen the higher cultivations the person possessed. In the past, they used to live their lives in glory and luxury. Not only so, they could even have multiple wives at once. This was the kind of day which everyone had dreamt of living. Following the loss in their cultivations, it wouldn’t be very long until they lost all of these completely.

“Scout out every single detail about him and report to me as soon as possible.”

“Yes.” The grey dressed middle-aged man quickly left.

At this moment, another old man showed up. He seemed a bit older in age compared to the man from before. He was also dressed similarly to the old man in a plain, long gown.

“Senior martial brother, how do you feel about this?” The old man from before asked.

“If this is true, then the Imperial Cuisine Hall will definitely be a unique existence across the Nine Continents World. People, both good and bad, weak and powerful, will want to make sure they are friends with the Imperial Cuisine Hall. Merely from this, I can already tell that his medical expertise must be very daunting.” The Martial Brother said after pondering deeply.

The eyes of the junior martial brother suddenly turned bright. He then looked at his senior, “If we get the chance to steal his miraculous medical expertise, do you think that our Sacred Medicine Palace will be able to skyrocket in ranks?”

Hearing that, the senior lifted up his head and looked at his junior. He was slightly shorter than his junior. After a moment of thought, the senior responded, “Do you think that someone with such abilities will be an ordinary man? We mustn’t act carelessly. Also, there is definitely a lot of people who are planning to get him to join their sides. Not to mention, he must already be under Zhang Clan’s protection by now. After all, before he cured Zhang Miaoyun, Zhang Clan will definitely not allow anything to happen to the Imperial Cuisine Hall.”

“Senior martial brother, I am also aware of this situation, but there are also people who do not want Zhang Miaoyun to live. They will not sit still and watch as the Imperial Cuisine Hall cure him.” There was a bit of craftiness and greed in the eyes of the junior martial brother. This was quite normal. Indeed, if he could get his hands on such a miraculous ability, in the future, he would, without a doubt, become one of the top figures in the world.

“I am sure the Imperial Cuisine Hall will not teach outsiders their medical expertise.” The senior martial brother said after thinking for a while.

“Senior martial brother, let me tell you something. Do you know Madam Lang?” The junior martial brother revealed an even more sinister smile than before.

“I have heard about her before. What about her?”

“This woman is following the mysterious young physician at the moment. Furthermore, according to some reliable sources, she is the disciple of this young man. Most importantly, he doesn’t seem to intend on reserving anything as he passed on his medical knowledge to Madam Lang. It’s said that what he is teaching her is precisely his formidable medical expertise, but I don’t think she has learned it fully for the time being.”

“Well then, junior martial brother, what do you plan to do?” The senior martial brother didn’t know what his junior was planning.

“I think the relationship between those two must be quite special. Why don’t we use the woman to threaten him? Would he teach us the things he knows in exchange for that?”
