Chapter 448: Chapter 448 Elder Qiao’s Secret

Elder Qiao’s physical functions had indeed aged, and it wasn’t due to sickness.

If it had been a sickness, Lin Dong might have been able to cure him, but that was not the case with his bodily condition.

”Many years ago, a monk who had attained enlightenment told me that I could only live until sixty.”

”At first, I didn’t believe it, but these past few years I’ve had no choice but to.”

”Especially this year, I could clearly feel that my body isn’t holding up, my lifespan is slipping away.”

”I think, at most, I can live another six months. Maybe not even that long.”

”But it’s enough, I’ve celebrated a milestone sixtieth birthday. The only regret is, I won’t be able to see you and Little Bing get married and have children, or hold my great-grandchildren... ”

Hearing this, Lin Dong also felt uneasy inside.

Lin Dong had very few people he could consider family since he was young.

Elder Qiao was one of them.

Even after his marriage agreement with Qiao Xue was dissolved, Elder Qiao still treated him like a grandson.

Naturally, Lin Dong did not want him to die.

”Grandfather Qiao, rest assured, I will extend your life.”

At this moment, Lin Dong thought of the ’Supplementary Yuan Pill.’ As long as he could refine the pill, extending Elder Qiao’s life by five years would not be a problem.

Qiao Guoting waved his hand; although he knew Lin Dong’s medical arts were extraordinary, the idea of him extending Qiao’s life was not taken seriously.

After all, it sounded like a pipe’s dream.

Even ancient famous doctors such as Bian Que and Hua Tuo had no records of prolonging someone’s life.

”Enough about this. I asked to see you alone today just to ask you to take care of Xiaoxue and Little Bing, the sisters, after I die!”

”And of course Yun Xiu. Sigh, she’s also a woman of misfortune... Our family has wronged her indeed.”

Lin Dong nodded, ”Grandfather Qiao, rest assured, I will take good care of Sister Bing!”

He was only referring to Qiao Bing; as for Chu Yunxiu and Qiao Xue, to tell the truth, Lin Dong was merely fulfilling a duty.

To take care of them to the extent he did for Qiao Bing would clearly not be possible.

Qiao Guoting sighed and seemed to recognize Lin Dong’s thoughts.

In his heart, he also had a secret, a secret concerning the past of the Qiao Family.

It was also his biggest secret.

But he hesitated about whether to tell Lin Dong.

After thinking for a long time, he ultimately did not tell.

”Forget it, let that secret rot in my heart.”

Qiao Guoting shook his head; he had kept that secret buried in his heart for years, not sharing it with anyone.

Even Qiao Xue and Qiao Bing, the elder had not told them.

Because Lin Dong suspected that Elder Qiao’s car accident was no accident, but rather orchestrated.

It was very likely that people from the Hall of Dark King had taken action in the shadows.

That’s why Lin Dong stayed at Qiao’s Villa all day, keeping Elder Qiao company.

In fact, he was protecting him.

At the same time, Lin Dong secretly contacted Bai Zhonglou.

He asked him to send a few Wushu Experts from Longmen over.

Bai Zhonglou immediately dispatched four Martial Way experts, all Mystic Realm Experts with the strength of Internal Strength Masters.

By nightfall, they had arrived in Jianghai from the Provincial City and were lurking near the Qiao’s Villa.

With their protection in place, Lin Dong finally left the villa.

”It seems that I must speed up my cultivation. I must quickly achieve a breakthrough to the Internal Qi Conversion Pill strength so that I can refine the ’Supplementary Yuan Pill.’”

Now Lin Dong had everything he needed to create the pill, including the ancient alchemist and herbs. The only thing left was achieving the strength required for the Internal Qi Conversion Pill to refine the ’Supplementary Yuan Pill.’

As long as he refined the ’Supplementary Yuan Pill,’ he could extend both Long Ying and Grandfather Qiao’s lives.

Besides, such a Dan medicine as the Supplementary Yuan Pill, if he could refine it, would certainly cause a sensation.

At this moment, Lin Dong’s phone suddenly rang.

The caller was none other than Sister Bai Jue.

After the call was connected, Sister Bai Jue’s voice came with a tone of urgency.

”Dongzi, hurry, come to the house in Jingzang Linglong District, I have something urgent for you.”

Lin Dong was startled and quickly said, ”Okay, Sister Bai Jue, I’ll be right there.”

If Sister Bai Jue had something urgent, why would he delay?

He hurried at top speed to their house in Jingzang Linglong.

This villa in the community was Lin Dong’s first house and also the home he shared with Sister Bai Jue in Jianghai.

It wasn’t far from the hospital, so even though Lin Dong and Bai Jue could easily switch houses now, they did not.

They continued to live there.

”I wonder why Sister Bai Jue is in such a hurry to find me.”

Lin Dong hastily arrived and as soon as he reached the door, immediately took out his keys to unlock it.

As soon as the door opened, Sister Bai Jue threw herself into Lin Dong’s arms.

Lin Dong quickly asked, ”Sister Bai Jue, what’s the emergency?”

”Does having a baby count as an emergency?” Bai Jue wrapped her arms around Lin Dong’s neck, smiling as she spoke.

”Ah...”

Lin Dong was stunned.

”What, doesn’t that count as an emergency?”

Feeling the faint ’Killing Intent’ in Sister Bai Jue’s voice, Lin Dong promptly lifted her in his arms and headed toward the Bedroom.

”Of course, it’s an emergency. Sister Bai Jue, today I’ll teach you a method, it’s greatly beneficial for your body.”

Thinking to himself, Lin Dong decided to teach the Nine Tripod Cauldrons symbol to Sister Bai Jue.

So she could cultivate it as well!

Several Hours Later.

Sister Bai Jue Couldn’t help but say, ”Eh, what’s going on? Dongzi, I’ve followed the breathing method you taught me, and now I feel more and more energized?”

”Usually, by this time, I’d be completely worn out.”

A smile appeared on Lin Dong’s face; this was the efficacy of the Nine Tripod Cauldrons symbol.

Lin Dong had also benefited enormously this time.

In the process of cultivating with Sister Bai Jue, he had also accumulated about half of the energy of a Heavenly Material!

Together with his cultivation with Qiao Bing, Lin Dong had effectively gained a Heavenly Material through the Nine Tripod Cauldrons symbol in a short period.

”Only three more Heavenly Earthly Treasures, and I can break through to the ’Internal Qi Conversion Pill’ strength.”

Lin Dong secretly thought to himself.

At This Moment, Sister Bai Jue leaned in and said,

”Dongzi, the night is long, let’s continue.”
