Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 334: 334

Qiao Xue said the person who helped her was Master Lin, and that wasn’t inaccurate.

She just didn’t realize that Master Lin was right in front of her.

Qiao Bing wanted to say more, but Lin Dong gave her a hint and shook his head.

After eating for a few more minutes, Lin Dong received a phone call from Bai Zhonglou, who had something to discuss with him.

Consequently, Lin Dong left early.

After Lin Dong had left, Qiao Bing asked, ”Sister, now that the cooperation has been agreed upon, when do you plan to return to Jianghai?”

Qiao Xue responded to Qiao Bing’s question with one of her own, ”Are you eager for me to leave so you can be alone with Lin Dong?”

Unexpectedly, she had seen right through her, leaving Qiao Bing with no choice but to lower her head in resignation.

”I plan to stay a few more days; I’m not in a hurry to go back. On one hand, I want to continue negotiating the cooperation details with President Qian.”

”On the other hand, I’m planning to observe this Medical Competition between the Southern and Northern Factions of Chinese Medicine, to see how Lin Dong’s matter will be handled!”

Of course, deep in her heart, there was another reason.

That was to stay in Southern Capital and see if she could find Master Lin—what if she actually did?

She truly hoped to witness Master Lin’s grace and to thank him in person.

Hearing her sister’s words, Qiao Bing had no alternative.

It seemed that for the time being, she wouldn’t be able to take that final step with Lin Dong.

After leaving the Japanese restaurant, Lin Dong headed for the Bai Family’s residence.

Earlier, when Bai Zhonglou had called him, he hadn’t specified the reason for the meeting.

When Lin Dong arrived at the Bai residence, the gatekeepers, who were already familiar with him, greeted him respectfully.

”Mr. Lin, you’ve arrived.”

Lin Dong returned their greetings with a smile and a nod, then entered the Bai’s villa.

Once inside, he saw Bai Zhonglou.

At the moment, Bai Zhonglou was alone in the hall, and he said to Lin Dong, ”Dragon Lord, Lord Long Ying is in poor health today. He tried to go out for some shadow boxing, but just after a few punches, he passed out.”

Lin Dong quickly said, ”Take me to see him!”

”Yes.”

And so, Bai Zhonglou led Lin Dong upstairs.

There was a room upstairs set up like an intensive care unit in a hospital, specifically for Long Ying’s use.

Upon entering, Lin Dong saw Long Ying lying unconscious on the bed.

He hurriedly approached, took out a filiform needle, and used acupuncture to awaken him.

After waking up, Long Ying said with shame, ”Young master, I am truly useless, fainting after just a couple of punches. And to cause you to specifically come here...”

”Uncle Long Ying, don’t say that,” Lin Dong replied, feeling quite distressed.

Longmen Long Ying, a figure second only to the Dragon Lord of Longmen, held a status surpassing ten thousand within Longmen.

His standing was even higher than that of the leaders of the Eighteen Sects of Longmen, and there was no need to speak of his martial prowess since he could rank in the top ten on the Dragon Ranking.

One could imagine how gallant he once was!

But now, he’d been reduced to his current state, unable to even throw punches.

For a martial artist, there was nothing more cruel than this.

Lin Dong clenched his fists in resolve, determined to achieve a breakthrough to the ’Internal Qi Conversion Pill’ realm as soon as possible, upon which he could refine the ’Supplementary Yuan Pill.’

If he could make Long Ying take the Supplementary Yuan Pill, not only could he extend his lifespan, but he could also help in nourishing the foundation of his body and restore his strength!

Lin Dong then had a long conversation with him.

Before leaving, he cautioned, ”Uncle Long Ying, it’s best not to engage in martial activities recently. Once you do, it could easily damage your body.”

”Alright, I won’t anymore,” replied Long Ying, his eyes dimming.

Lin Dong saw this and felt helpless for the moment.

After leaving the room, Lin Dong inquired from Bai Zhonglou, ”Leader Bai, I had asked you to use the intelligence network to explore the whereabouts of Heavenly and Earthly treasures, do you have any news?”

Bai Zhonglou pondered for a moment, then responded:

”Dragon Lord, indeed we have found the location of a Heavenly Material! However, it may be difficult to obtain.”

”Oh? Where?” Lin Dong immediately asked.

”Our intelligence has learned that Wang Taisui in the Capital City has recently acquired a Dragon’s saliva of several hundred years age!”

”However, it has already attracted the attention of Lin Tiance; considering the relationship between Lin Tiance and the Wang Family, Wang Taisui is very likely to gift the Dragon’s saliva to Lin Tiance!”

Hearing this, Lin Dong slightly furrowed his brows.

A few hundred years old Dragon’s saliva naturally ranked among the Heavenly and Earthly treasures.

It was also exceedingly rare, no less precious than a Lingzhi mushroom of several hundred years age.

As Bai Zhonglou said, it would be difficult to obtain it.

However, it wasn’t entirely without chance; perhaps the upcoming Medical Competition between the Southern and Northern factions might present an opportunity.

”Wang Taisui will be coming to Southern Capital from the Capital City tomorrow to attend the Medical Competition between the Southern and Northern Factions!”

”Then, our people will approach him to see if we might purchase it at a high price from him!” Bai Zhonglou added once more.

Lin Dong nodded.

The two chatted for a while longer, and Lin Dong then prepared to leave.

But before he left, Bai Zhonglou received another piece of news.

”Dragon Lord, please wait a moment. We’ve just received news about the Yinghua Society!”

”Oh? What news?” Lin Dong asked instinctively.

”Dragon Lord, we have information that the Yinghua Society has sent ’Bai Ya’ to assassinate you. This Bai Ya is not simple; he’s the third disciple of the sword saint Aokiko Sanzang, regarded as the number one expert in Yinghua Country!”

”He once beat an expert ranked twenty-fifth on our Dragon Ranking!”

Lin Dong’s brow knitted slightly, then he said with a cold laugh:

”They really are like persistent ghosts. But let them come; I’ll eliminate each one that does.”
