Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 654: Chapter 654: Daoist Master Qing Shan

That was when Lin Dong carried her up the stairs, there were inevitably some collisions.

And with each collision, she would blush and her body would go limp.

Fortunately, Lin Dong could not see her face; otherwise, she would have died of embarrassment.

The Stairway to Heaven had slopes that were both gentle and steep, mimicking the ups and downs of life’s journey.

Finally, after nearly one hour, everyone reached the top of the 999 stairs.

At the top of the stairs, there were five prayer platforms flanking the Stairway to Heaven.

On those prayer platforms were inscribed the words ”Abundance, Harmony, Longevity, Ascent and Fulfillment,” symbolizing ”Wealth, Joy, Longevity, Prosperity, and Luck.”

Past these five prayer platforms, one could see the Qing Shan observatory not far ahead.

Next to the Qing Shan observatory stood a hundred-year-old tree with roots sprawling in all directions and its luxuriant branches covering most of the observatory’s courtyard. If it were summer, it would be very cool to rest under its shade.

At the moment, standing outside the redwood gate of the Qing Shan observatory was a Taoist holding a feather duster.

The Taoist had white hair and long, white eyebrows, with a long beard that was also white.

He had an ethereal presence, emanating a celestial aura, as if he were a descended immortal.

That was Lin Dong’s master, Daoist Master Qing Shan.

Daoist Master Qing Shan also saw Lin Dong and his group; when he spotted them, his face was immediately filled with smiles.

”Not bad, this worldly trip has yielded a decent harvest for the kid,” said Daoist Master Qing Shan, glancing at Lin Dong and nodding with satisfaction.

”Master!” Lin Dong, seeing his long-missed master, Daoist Master Qing Shan, was overjoyed, forgetting that Tang Mu was still on his back. He hurriedly trotted toward Daoist Master Qing Shan’s position.

”Disciple, didn’t you say you’d bring back two girls for the Lunar New Year? Why are there three here now?” Daoist Master Qing Shan cleared his throat and gave him a stern look.

Tang Mu, blushing with embarrassment, whispered, ”Lin Dong, you’re still carrying me. Please put me down first.”

It was quite embarrassing for her to meet Lin Dong’s master in this position.

Only then did Lin Dong remember that Tang Mu was still on his back, and he too felt somewhat awkward.

He cleared his throat and quickly let Tang Mu down.

After setting Tang Mu down, he noticed that her face was red with shyness all the way to her ears.

Lin Dong cleared his throat again, then began his explanation to his master, ”This is my classmate, Tang Mu. She encountered some trouble and I rescued her. For her safety, I’ve temporarily brought her with us to celebrate the New Year.”

Daoist Master Qing Shan turned his gaze toward Tang Mu and discovered that this woman actually possessed the rare ’General’ constitution.

”A female with the General’s Body Constitution! For the people of the Corpse Gate, this constitution is nothing short of a supreme treasure.”

Lin Dong nodded, ”She was targeted by people from the Corpse Gate before. The Corpse King of the Hall of Dark King captured her, wanting to use her as a Furnace Cauldron for his son. Luckily, I managed to rescue her.”

Daoist Master Qing Shan nodded with a smile, looking kindly at Tang Mu, before shifting his gaze to Bai Jue and Qiao Bing.

As his gaze fell on them, both of their faces turned slightly red.

”Bai Jue pays respects to Master,” said Sister Bai Jue, bowing slightly to the Daoist Master Qing Shan.

Qiao Bing followed suit, saying softly, ”Qiao Bing pays respects to Master.”

Daoist Master Qing Shan smiled and nodded at them, giving them a thorough once-over.

Daoist Master Qing Shan was surprised to find that Qiao Bing and Bai Jue both had one-in-a-million body constitutions.

Bai Jue had the Soft Bone Constitution!

Qiao Bing had the Flawless Constitution!

Both of these constitutions, like the General’s Body Constitution, had boundless potential.

”The kid’s romantic luck is indeed flourishing; the women he encounters all have special constitutions, one in a million. However, that also makes it easy for him to attract the Peach Blossom Calamity, drawing the attention of many powerful forces,” Daoist Master Qing Shan mused internally.

But he wasn’t worried about Lin Dong.

Because in his view, how could a cultivator not go through tribulations?

No one can succeed casually; only those who go through ups and downs can ascend the Stairway to Heaven.

Finally, Daoist Master Qing Shan turned his attention to Qiao Guoting.

”Elder Qiao, it’s been a long time. How is your health?” Daoist Master Qing Shan walked towards Elder Qiao.

Elder Qiao Laughingly Said, ”Thanks to the blessing of Lin Dong’s gift, after taking his Resuscitating Pill, I can live a few more years.”

”Resuscitating Pill?” Daoist Master Qing Shan looked at Lin Dong, ”You refined a Resuscitating Pill?”

”Yes,” Lin Dong nodded.

Daoist Master Qing Shan’s smile grew broader, that kid truly had another surprise for him.

”Very well, let’s all go into the Taoist temple,” said Daoist Master Qing Shan jovially, beckoning everyone to enter.

The group, carrying their luggage, entered the Qing Shan observatory.

After settling their luggage, Daoist Master Qing Shan brewed some tea for everyone.

After drinking his tea, Qiao Bing, Bai Jue, Tang Mu, and Elder Qiao all felt their fatigue vanish.

It turned out that the tea had the effect of eliminating fatigue and calming the mind.

At that moment, Daoist Master Qing Shan suddenly began speaking with a smile,

”Elder Qiao, and you girls, rest here for a while.”

Having said that, he turned his gaze to Lin Dong—

”Lin Dong, come with me. I have some things to discuss with you alone.”
