The Beautiful CEO's Personal Mad Doctor

Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Congratulations to the War God on Gaining a Tiger General

Xuanyuan Potian said respectfully, ”Young Master, when we’re alone, you may just call this old slave Potian.”

Cheng Yuan nodded slightly. ”I can call you Potian, but don’t refer to yourself as an old slave. I’m not used to it.”

”How about I refer to myself as your subordinate?”

”That’s fine.”

”Young Master, I was still young back then, so what I know is limited. Please don’t take offense.”

”It’s fine. Just tell me what you know.”

”I heard my master mention it once. Years ago, the Master saved his life and taught him a Cultivation Technique. My master pledged his loyalty and served by her side.”

”According to him, the Master came from a very mysterious place. He never met any of her family, but she did have a handmaiden.”

Cheng Yuan’s pupils constricted. ’That handmaiden must be the old headmaster, right?’

”The Master was ambushed because she was carrying many high-quality Elixirs. Those hypocrites slandered her, accusing her of stealing from the Celestial Pill Sect and demanding she hand over all her Elixirs and their formulas!”

”The battle was incredibly fierce. A third of the attackers were killed or wounded, but the Master had just given birth to the Young Master, so she was severely weakened and gravely injured!”

”My master was also ambushed and seriously wounded. When he came to, he searched frantically for the Master and the Young Master, but he could find no trace of them.”

”After making inquiries everywhere, my master learned that the Master had used all her strength to help her handmaiden and the Young Master escape. Forced into a corner, she resolutely threw herself from a cliff!”

”After that, all traces of the Master were lost. Only those who were present that day know whether she lived or died.”

Hearing that his grandmother had jumped off a cliff, Cheng Yuan’s eyes reddened, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

’Those damned bastards! They hounded my grandmother to her death for a few Elixirs and formulas!’

All this time, Cheng Yuan had held no small amount of resentment for his grandparents. He believed they had abandoned his father, leaving him to grow up an orphan!

’I never imagined the truth would be so brutal!’

”Who was there that day? Make me a list! I’m going to pay them each a ’visit’!”

Xuanyuan Potian answered honestly, ”They were all masked that day, so my master couldn’t identify them. However, he did say that one of them was a bald man with ordination scars on his head! He had to be from either Shaolin or the Vajra Temple.”

”I see. Where is your master? I want to meet him.”

Xuanyuan Potian gave a bitter smile. ”Young Master, have you forgotten? I also wish to find my master. I only saw him once after completing my apprenticeship. He told me he’d founded the Celestial Witch Sect to avenge the Master! He came to me because he’d gotten a lead on the ringleader, the mastermind behind the attack. He was going to confront that person, but said the journey would be extremely perilous. Before he left, he entrusted the Celestial Witch Sect to me. I haven’t seen him since.”

Cheng Yuan nodded slightly. Xuanyuan Potian had indeed just asked him about his master’s whereabouts.

”Where is the Celestial Witch Sect located? We might be able to find news about my grandmother or the ringleader at their headquarters.”

”The Celestial Witch Sect is in the Southeast, deep within the Hundred Thousand Mountains. I will get the map for you now, Young Master.”

Xuanyuan Potian quickly found a map and handed it to Cheng Yuan with utmost respect.

Cheng Yuan tucked the map inside his coat and said coolly, ”It seems we had a misunderstanding today—the flood washing over the Dragon King Temple, so to speak. I may have been a bit heavy-handed. Take this Rejuvenation Pill. It will allow you to make a full recovery.”

With that, Cheng Yuan tossed the Rejuvenation Pill to Xuanyuan Potian.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Xuanyuan Potian swallowed the Rejuvenation Pill.

BOOM!

A surging wave of Medicinal Power erupted within him!

Xuanyuan Potian felt a pleasant warmth spread to every cell in his body. It was incredibly comfortable.

Xuanyuan Potian had fought on the battlefield for decades and accumulated hundreds of hidden injuries, both large and small. These old wounds had held him back, preventing him from breaking through to a higher realm of cultivation.

But now, they were all gone!

Xuanyuan Potian was overcome with excitement. He bowed deeply to Cheng Yuan. ”Thank you for your immense kindness, Young Master! Decades of old injuries have all been healed! I... I now have a sliver of hope of reaching the Martial Saint realm!”

Cheng Yuan produced an Essence Enhancing Pill and tossed it to him. ”Potian, this is an Essence Enhancing Pill. It will greatly increase your True Essence. Take it.”

Xuanyuan Potian caught the Essence Enhancing Pill reflexively, then his eyes widened in shock.

’A Three Patterns Essence Enhancement Pill?’

Xuanyuan Potian’s expression turned grave as he warned, ”The Master was ambushed back then because she revealed she had a Three Patterns Essence Enhancement Pill! Young Master, you must never let anyone know you possess these!”

Cheng Yuan shrugged helplessly. ”Actually, the cat’s already out of the bag. A number of people know I can refine Three Patterns Elixirs, but I only showed them a Three Patterns Qi Enhancement Pill.”

”A Qi Enhancement Pill is one thing; it’s not much use to a Martial Emperor. But an Essence Enhancing Pill is a different story! Young Master, you must be exceedingly cautious!”

Cheng Yuan nodded slightly. ”Alright, I’ll be more careful from now on.”

’That’s what he said, but inside, Cheng Yuan was already scheming. Once his power reached the pinnacle of the Ancient Martial Realm, he would definitely find an opportunity to reveal the Three Patterns Essence Enhancement Pill!’

’He’d like to see who would dare to cause trouble for him then.’

’And maybe, by following the clues, he could find a trail that leads to his grandmother!’

While the two were talking, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and the soldiers of the Guard Army gradually began to stir.

Vermilion Bird drew her sidearm, whipping the muzzle up to aim directly at Cheng Yuan!

Due to his angle, Cheng Yuan didn’t see it at first, but Xuanyuan Potian saw it crystal clear. He roared, ”Vermilion Bird! Put that damn gun down!!”

In a flash, Xuanyuan Potian moved to stand in front of Cheng Yuan, shielding him from the dark muzzle of the gun!

Vermilion Bird’s face went pale. She quickly lowered her weapon, looking at Xuanyuan Potian in confusion. ”War God, Cheng Yuan killed Cyan Dragon and White Tiger and even wounded you! Why are you protecting him?”

Black Tortoise was equally baffled.

’Just a moment ago, the War God was locked in a life-or-death battle with this kid. Why, in the blink of an eye, is he now protecting him?’

’Could it be... the kid has submitted to the War God?’

At this thought, Black Tortoise suddenly grew excited.

’If the War God has recruited this kid, his power will soar! He might even break through to the next level!’

’If the War God successfully becomes the Commander of the Battle Department, then Vermilion Bird and I will rise with him! We might even get a shot at becoming a War God ourselves!’

THUD! Black Tortoise dropped to one knee, his face beaming as he cupped his fist. ”Congratulations, War God! My sincerest congratulations on gaining a tiger of a general like Cheng Yuan!”

Vermilion Bird, who was standing to the side, snapped out of her daze and quickly followed his example, also dropping to one knee and looking at Xuanyuan Potian with fervent admiration.

’No wonder the War God is protecting him! The kid has already surrendered, hasn’t he?’

”Gaining Cheng Yuan is a hundred times better than having Cyan Dragon and White Tiger! Please rest assured, War God. We will put aside our past grievances and work alongside Cheng Yuan to serve you!”

The soldiers of the Guard Army, as if waking from a dream, also dropped to one knee.

”The War God is mighty! With such a tiger general, our Dongshan Defense Zone is destined for glory!”
