Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 1417: Chapter 1416 Qiao Bing’s Colleague

Lin Dong had already gone back. He had spoken to Lin Yu, but Lin Yu didn’t believe him, so there was nothing he could do.

Could he really overstep his bounds and beat those two to death or cripple them?

If he actually did that, Lin Yu would probably become even more desperate to take him on.

That afternoon, Lin Dong went to Renxin Hall to purchase some herbs. This time, he bought the ingredients necessary for refining Reinvigorating Pills and Nine Rebirth Pills.

He planned to refine some of these pills in the afternoon and then keep them on hand.

He currently didn’t have either of these pills on him.

After buying the herbs, Lin Dong returned to the courtyard houses and found a room to start his alchemy.

This time, he directly used a premium-grade alchemy furnace for the refining!

A premium-grade alchemy furnace could refine pills above third-grade, and naturally, it could refine third-grade pills as well, with better results than a common furnace.

Aside from improving the medicinal effect of the pills, the time Lin Dong needed for the alchemy was also reduced.

Lin Dong spent the entire afternoon refining two batches of pills.

One batch was Reinvigorating Pills, totaling thirty!

The other batch was Nine Rebirth Pills, also thirty in number.

He took out two bottles, separately storing the thirty Reinvigorating Pills and the thirty Nine Rebirth Pills, and along with the alchemy furnace, he placed them inside the Dragon Ring.

Ever since he had been able to use the spatial storage ability of the Dragon Ring, storing things had become much more convenient for Lin Dong.

Whether it was the alchemy furnace or various tools needed for Traditional Chinese Medicine, or some treasures, Lin Dong stored them all in the Dragon Ring, carrying them with him.

This made things much easier for him.

At the moment, Lin Dong also tried to communicate with the Dragon Ring through his mental power, hoping to establish contact with the deity residing inside the ring.

Unfortunately, his efforts were like dropping a stone into the sea.

The deity inside the Dragon Ring was still in a dormant state, and Lin Dong could not contact or communicate with it.

”It seems that borrowing the Divine Soul Power of Senior Sovereign Witch for the battle with the Hall of Dark King’s host has taken a large toll on her,” Lin Dong sighed.

He had no idea when Senior Sovereign Witch would awaken.

Would she be awake for his life and death appointment with King Kunlun?

While he was lost in thought, the ring of his phone brought him back to reality.

Lin Dong picked up the phone and saw that it was Qiao Bing calling.

”Lin Dong, don’t cook tonight, let’s go out to eat. I’m meeting some colleagues for dinner,” said Qiao Bing.

”Okay,” Lin Dong nodded.

Around six in the afternoon, Qiao Bing came back from the hospital to the courtyard houses, and then set off with Lin Dong to the place they were dining out that evening.

The place they chose for the dinner was in the Culture Food Street.

The Capital City was an international metropolis with a very inclusive culture, and its Culture Food Street not only gathered food outlets from various provinces of the Dragon Country but also from other countries.

There were restaurants serving dishes like ramen and kimchi from Paocai Nation, Western restaurants from the West, Japanese food from Yinghua Country, and even curry shops from Yujia Nation...

The street hosted delicious food from around the world.

This time Qiao Bing had arranged to dine out with a few female colleagues from the hospital and had brought Lin Dong along, planning to stroll around Culture Food Street after the meal.

She had heard that there were many cultural performance programs over there.

After defining their relationship, she and Lin Dong had never wandered through such a cultural street or gone on a trip together.

Of course, she wanted to go together with Lin Dong.

After changing into a fresh set of clothes, the two of them went out onto the street, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the Culture Food Street.

In about half an hour, the two arrived at the Food Street.

There, at the head of the street, Lin Dong and Qiao Bing met up with her colleagues.

There were three female colleagues in total. After they arrived, Qiao Bing introduced him saying,

”This is my boyfriend, Lin Dong.”

”Ah?” Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other, puzzled.

One of them, a woman in red clothes, couldn’t help but say, ”Qiao Bing, you actually have a boyfriend? I thought you were just joking.”

”What’s the matter? Can’t I have dinner with you guys if I have a boyfriend?” Qiao Bing laughed.

The three exchanged glances and shook their heads.

Actually, their dinner invitation to Qiao Bing today was a task entrusted to them by someone else.

And the person who entrusted them was the son of their hospital’s Vice President Hou Yong, named Hou Ping.

Hou Ping had been pursuing Qiao Bing all this time, but Qiao Bing had turned him down, and he had been distressed about not being able to secure a date with her, so he resorted to this tactic.

He secretly approached three female colleagues who were on good terms with Qiao Bing, promising to look after them in the hospital, as long as they helped him with this favor.

So the three agreed.

But unexpectedly, Qiao Bing brought her boyfriend with her.

Now, that was a bit awkward.

The three looked at each other again but had no choice but to bring both of them along, despite their reluctance.

After all, their task was simply to bring someone over, and the fact that they brought an extra person couldn’t be blamed on them.

After realizing this, they gave Lin Dong a slight nod.

It was the girl in red clothes who said, ”Qiao Bing, your boyfriend is pretty handsome.”

”Since we’re here, let’s all go have dinner together. We’ve already booked the restaurant and the private room, let’s head straight there.”

Qiao Bing, holding Lin Dong’s hand, nodded at them.

Along the way, Qiao Bing’s three female colleagues kept probing for information about Lin Dong.

Things like how old Lin Dong was, what work he did, where he was from.

Lin Dong sensed their probing, so he didn’t answer them directly but evaded the questions.

Seeing this, the three women felt helpless.

Soon, the group arrived at a Japanese restaurant.

”Qiao Bing, we’re having Japanese food today,” said the woman in the red dress.

Lin Dong frowned slightly, ”Japanese food?”

”Yes, why? Haven’t you had it before?” the woman in red asked in return.

Lin Dong shook his head, ”Never had it.”

”Ha ha...” The woman in the red dress laughed, thinking to herself that if he’s never had Japanese food, he must be someone quite unsophisticated.

What a waste of good looks! So handsome and yet such a country bumpkin.

Lin Dong wasn’t particularly keen on having Japanese food, and he said, ”Why do we have to eat Japanese on a street full of Dragon Country delicacies?”

”Because Japanese food is fashionable and Westernized, and, of course, it’s a bit pricey. But today we’re treating, so you don’t have to spend anything.”

Lin Dong frowned slightly.

Seeing Lin Dong’s reaction, Qiao Bing also turned to her three colleagues and said,

”Shall we switch to another place?”

Hearing this, the woman in the red dress quickly said, ”Qiao Bing, let’s not. We’ve already booked the private room and paid for it. It would be a waste not to go.”

”Yeah, Qiao Bing, it’s all set. How can we just change our minds?”

”Qiao Bing, we’re women, you know. Going out for a date and a meal, and we have to accommodate the boyfriend? What do we need a boyfriend for, then?”

”...”

Qiao Bing frowned slightly, about to say something, but Lin Dong interjected, ”Forget it, since it’s already booked, let’s just eat here.”

Lin Dong didn’t want to put Qiao Bing in a difficult position and affect her relationships with her colleagues over such a small matter.

Afterward, the group entered the Japanese restaurant.

But as soon as they stepped in, several staff members dressed in outfits from Yinghua Country approached them and said,

”Ladies and gentlemen, please follow us to change into kimonos before dining.”
