Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 697: Chapter 697: Toil like a Dog and a Horse

Lin Dong heard the voice of King of Jiangbei, Murong Qingyun, from outside and replied:

”Please come in.”

His reply, imbued with Inner Qi, carried through to the outside of the door.

Upon hearing this, Murong Qingyun outside the door let out a slight sigh of relief. Lin Dong’s willingness to see him meant there was still room to talk.

Had Lin Dong been unwilling to meet, that would have been truly troublesome!

He entered the Li Family Courtyard with his son, Murong Feng, the two of them alone.

As for the followers from the War Department, they were all left at the door.

When Murong Qingyun entered, everyone was once again surprised.

Especially Li Qingcang and Li Zifeng.

Because they saw the dignified King of Jiangbei, with his son, imitating the historic gesture of Lian Po’s contrite visit!

They had stripped off their upper garments and, with their backs bearing thorns, they walked in.

After they came in, Murong Qingyun loudly scolded his son, Murong Feng:

”Unfilial son, why don’t you kneel down and apologize to Mr. Lin Dong immediately!”

With a ”thump,” the previously arrogant and overbearing Murong Feng, who had talked about using the power of the War Department to arrest Lin Dong and even threatened to execute him, now knelt at Lin Dong’s feet.

After learning that Lin Dong was invited by the Dragon King War God to join the Dragon Group as the team leader, he dared not disrespect Lin Dong any longer.

Today, he had to kneel to avoid being dismissed from the War Register and to prevent his father from being implicated by his actions.

”Murong Feng, apologize to Mr. Lin Dong for the things you did earlier. I hope Mr. Lin Dong, being magnanimous, will forgive my son’s folly,” Murong Qingyun said.

Lin Dong remained unmoved by Murong Feng’s apology.

At that moment, Murong Qingyun also kneeled down with a ’plop.’

”Mr. Lin Dong, it is my fault for not disciplining my son properly! If Mr. Lin Dong feels that this is not enough to vent your anger, you may dispose of my son and me at will!”

”My son and I are willing to accept any punishment from Mr. Lin Dong!”

Lin Dong’s expression softened slightly, faced with the sight of the dignified King of Jiangbei kneeling at his feet for his son’s sake.

This gesture moved him.

Pitiful is the heart of a parent!

Lin Dong looked at Murong Feng and said in a stern voice, ”It seems that this time, you really do understand your mistake.”

”I understand, I fully understand,” Murong Feng quickly said.

”So be it, I will no longer pursue the matter. Stand up,” Lin Dong said softly.

If Lin Dong truly wanted to push them to the brink, to completely antagonize the King of Jiangbei, then he wouldn’t have stopped at just breaking Murong Feng’s arm.

He would have killed him directly!

He spared him because of the consideration he had for Murong Qingyun previously.

This time, Murong Qingyun did not side with the Chen Family of Jiangbei. After his son’s arm was severed by Lin Dong, he even brought his son to apologize personally.

The mighty King of Jiangbei, like Lian Po in the past, stripped off his clothes and knelt at his feet, bearing thorns.

If word of this spread, his prestige would be greatly diminished, but for his son, he was willingly doing so.

If Lin Dong were to continue to hold a grudge, it would indeed be overly oppressive.

Hearing Lin Dong was willing to forgive Murong Feng, Murong Qingyun breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Murong Feng also relaxed.

”Thank you, Mr. Lin Dong!”

”Mr. Lin Dong, if there’s ever a time you need my help in Jiangbei, do not hesitate to ask. Murong Qingyun will serve you with the utmost loyalty,” he said.

This was him reaffirming his stance!

The feud between Lin Dong and the Chen Clan of Jiangbei had become well-known throughout all of Jiangbei by now.

And nearly every martial arts family, organization, and expert in Jiangbei was siding with the Chen Clan.

By taking this stand at this moment, Murong Qingyun was positioning himself against the entire martial arts community of Jiangbei.

Such determination and apology clearly illustrated his sincerity.

Lin Dong nodded, ”On the eighth day, you may come to the Chen Family.”

Murong Qingyun’s eyes lit up, ”Certainly.”

”Good, you may leave now,” Lin Dong gestured with his hand.

King Murong Qingyun and his son Murong Feng stood up from the ground, and before leaving, Murong Qingyun presented a gift.

”Mr. Lin Dong, this is a Heavenly and Earthly treasure, a three-hundred-year-old Ginseng, a gift from a dear friend. It is our way of making amends, please accept it,” he said.

Lin Dong was touched by this gesture.

He did not care much for other things, but these Heavenly and Earthly treasures were what he had long been seeking.

Although he had acquired the Devouring Technique, which allowed him to enhance his cultivation by absorbing others’ Inner Qi, such a technique had too many side effects. If he were to rely solely on the Devouring Technique for increasing his cultivation level, he would end up deviating into evil territory and explode to death.

Therefore, he needed the Nine Shift Longevity Scripture to complement it!

And also to improve by absorbing the most pure energy from Heavenly and Earthly treasures. Only then could Lin Dong go further.

At the moment, he was at the ’Golden Core Realm’ within the Fourth Stage of the Nine Shifts Longevity Scripture. With three Golden Pills formed in his Dantian, equivalent to a Third Stage Grandmaster’s strength, to advance to a Fourth Stage Grandmaster, he must absorb Heavenly and Earthly treasures.

And to form the fourth Golden Pill, if relying on Heavenly and Earthly treasures, it would take a considerable amount. It’s even more difficult than the previous advancements.

For such a hundred-year medicinal treasure like this, he would need about seven of them!

Of course, if he had a Medicine King over three thousand years old, then one would suffice. Or two Semi Medicine Kings about a thousand years old would also do.

But Medicine Kings and Semi Medicine Kings were extremely rare and hard to come by.

On the other hand, it was easier to acquire these hundreds of years old Heavenly and Earthly treasures.

Lin Dong did not decline and directly accepted the Heavenly and Earthly treasure.

After accepting, he inquired, ”King of Jiangbei, do you know of anyone who might have such several-hundred-year-old Heavenly and Earthly treasures in their possession?”
