Peerless Medical Emperor

Gong Liangbu was uncomfortable at the very idea of seeing Luo Yidao.

”It’s fine if we don’t go. But going would be a way to settle this matter for you, to sever the karmic ties that bind your heart,” Chen Qingdi said.

”If you don’t want to go, then we’ll just forget about it.”

Chen Qingdi said.

’If Mr. Chen was going to help him get retribution, then of course Gong Liangbu was willing.’

’But if he had to go settle this score by himself, he didn’t have the confidence.’

’His former best friend, Luo Yidao, was surrounded by experts now.’

’If he went, Luo Yidao might just have him killed.’

”If you’ll go with me, Mr. Chen, then I’ll go.”

”That Feng Shui Master is supposedly with Luo Yidao.”

”And today is his big day. He just became a Grade 1 Martial Physician and is throwing a banquet at his home.”

”Everyone from our circle is there. Today’s actually a great day to go raise some hell,” Gong Liangbu said with a smile.

”Then it’s the perfect time for us to go.”

”Let’s go now,” Chen Qingdi said.

”Alright. But you need to be careful, Mr. Chen. That Feng Shui Master is also a Martial Dao expert.”

”And although Luo Yidao is a Martial Physician, he’s also a Martial Cultivator at the Guiyuan Realm,” Gong Liangbu said.

”Why haven’t you reached the Guiyuan Realm? You’re still in the Innate Realm. That won’t do,” Chen Qingdi said, glancing at Gong Liangbu.

”My talent isn’t as high as his.”

”Plus, he went to Celestial River Valley and obtained an Earth Lingzhi. He was at the Innate Realm before that, too,” Gong Liangbu said.

”Celestial River Valley?”

”What’s that?”

Chen Qingdi had never heard of it; after all, he had only just arrived in Jingxi.

”Celestial River Valley is a valley in Jingxi that’s filled with Natural Spiritual Energy. The valley has many precious medicinal herbs—Lingzhi, mountain ginseng, and so on. Some people even claim to have seen dragon-shaped ginseng, and others say they’ve seen Immortal Fruits,” Gong Liangbu explained.

”Can you just go into this place whenever you want?”

Hearing this, Chen Qingdi really wanted to go and see it for himself.

”It’s not a place you can enter just because you want to.”

”Only a handful of people get to go each year.”

”There’s a selection process run by the president of the Martial Medicine Association.”

”After the selection, it takes ten Grandmaster Realm experts to open the entrance. There’s a huge Energy Barrier protecting it, so not just anyone can get in.”

”They can’t even gather ten Grandmaster Realm experts in all of Jingxi. The president of the Martial Medicine Association has to bring them in from other regions every year on the Double Ninth Festival.”

Gong Liangbu quickly explained the situation.

Hearing all this only made Chen Qingdi want to see the place even more.

He was now filled with curiosity about this place.

”So it’s just an Energy Barrier?”

”Nothing else?” Chen Qingdi asked.

”That’s it, but the Energy Barrier is extremely powerful.”

”It takes ten Grandmaster Realm experts just to barely force it open.”

”And at most, only ten people can enter each year,” Gong Liangbu said.

”After we’re done with this, I’ll take you inside someday,” Chen Qingdi said with a smile.

”Really?”

Gong Liangbu looked at Chen Qingdi, his face a mask of disbelief.

’If Chen Qingdi can open the Energy Barrier by himself, that means his realm is above the Grandmaster Realm... That’s terrifying.’

’He wasn’t even sure if anyone of that level existed in all of Kyoto.’

”You... you’ll take me in?”

”You’re not joking, are you? I really do want to go.”

Gong Liangbu wanted to be absolutely sure.

”Of course it’s true. Why would I lie to you?” Chen Qingdi said, his expression full of confidence.

’Could Mr. Chen’s realm truly be above Grandmaster?’

Gong Liangbu looked at Chen Qingdi.

”Don’t worry about all that. The point is, I can get you in.”

Chen Qingdi didn’t reveal his realm.

’In his opinion, as long as he could find a flaw, even someone below the Grandmaster Realm could get through a measly Energy Barrier.’

’Besides, he had surpassed the Grandmaster Realm long ago.’

”Great! That’s wonderful!”

Gong Liangbu was overjoyed to hear this.

With Chen Qingdi’s promise, Gong Liangbu’s mood lightened considerably.

Chen Qingdi looked over at Gong Liangbu.

”Alright, let’s not waste any more time here. Take me to meet this Luo Yidao.”

”I want to see what he’s all about, and how he managed to screw you over so badly,” Chen Qingdi said.

At the mention of Luo Yidao, Gong Liangbu’s expression grew solemn.

”Let’s go. Don’t overthink it!”

Chen Qingdi clapped Gong Liangbu on the shoulder.

”Yeah.”

Gong Liangbu could only manage an awkward chuckle.

Then he got in the car with Chen Qingdi and drove off in the direction of Luo Yidao’s home.

「Luo Mansion.」

The hall was filled with distinguished guests, creating a lively, bustling scene.

Luo Yidao sat at the head of the table, surrounded by his cronies.

The Feng Shui Master, Nie Xing, was also among them.

”Congratulations, Luo, on becoming a Grade 1 Martial Physician and reaching the Guiyuan Realm!”

”Not to mention becoming a regular guest of the Zheng Family! Come, let’s toast to Luo!”

Nie Xing raised his glass, smiling at Luo Yidao.

The others around him also raised their glasses to toast Luo Yidao.

”My friends, my success today is all thanks to the help of everyone here.”

”Come! Let me toast you all in return,” Luo Yidao said with a smile, raising his glass.

”So, what are your plans now, Luo?” a young man in his early twenties with colorful hair and casual clothes asked.

”I heard that Kunlun Xushan has opened. A lot of people from the Martial Dao world have already headed there, and I’d like to go check it out.”

”I hear it’s filled with countless Spiritual Qi Sources and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. It’s an opportunity we can’t miss.”

”But it’s also very dangerous. Plenty of people go in every year, but very, very few make it back alive.”

”What’s more, there’s a natural, massive energy barrier. Not just anyone can get in. To even have a chance, you need to be at least at the Guiyuan Realm,” Luo Yidao said with a smile.

”Well, Luo, you just reached the Guiyuan Realm. Your timing is perfect.”

”If you can get into Kunlun Xushan, Luo, you’re bound to make huge gains. When you come back to Jingxi, you’ll probably be on equal footing with Patriarch Zheng himself,” the young man with the colorful hair said.

”Haha, or I might just end up dead in there,” Luo Yidao said with a laugh.

”No way! Luo, you were born to wealth and blessed with great fortune. That won’t happen,” another man, this one middle-aged and in his forties, wearing a tunic suit, chimed in.

Although Luo Yidao was younger than him, his status was much higher, so they all deferred to him by calling him Luo.

”Haha, Zhang Feng, my friend! I’ll gladly accept that good omen,” Luo Yidao said with a smile, looking at the man in the tunic suit, his face beaming with pride and success.
