Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1173: Chapter 840: The Infertile Medical Immortal, Pfft!

Gu Changsheng rolled his eyes at the night sky, ”Weren’t you a striking youth back in the day, making countless beauties fall for you? How’d you end up all alone without any kids?”

”Because I’m infertile! I’ve outlived three wives and still haven’t had a single child!” the Medicine Immortal Old Man replied without even pausing for breath.

”Pfft!” Gu Changsheng stumbled, and if Zhou Mu hadn’t been holding her, she might have fallen to the ground.

Gu Changsheng didn’t fall because Zhou Mu’s composure was steady enough, but the people from the Guo Family behind them were different; their willpower couldn’t compare to the battle-hardened Zhou Mu!

So...

”Thud!”

”Thud!”

”...”

As soon as the Medicine Immortal Old Man finished speaking, there was a succession of thudding sounds from behind.

Gu Changsheng didn’t need to look back to imagine the scene of everyone behind her kowtowing in awe. She looked at the Medicine Immortal Old Man clinging to her side with a twitch in her mouth, and it took a few seconds before she could speak again, ”Aren’t you supposed to be a Medical Immortal?”

Could this old man be a sham, just fishing for fame?

Infertile Medical Immortal?

Damn it! Her worldview... skewed!

”Doctors can’t heal themselves! It’s all because of too many quack doctors in the world that I haven’t been cured!” the Medicine Immortal Old Man retorted righteously.

”Pfft!”

Gu Changsheng spewed once more, looking at Medical Immortal Wu Xi as if she had seen a ghost, full of admiration!

What kind of eccentric existence had she encountered?

This guy, a Medical Immortal, couldn’t conceive and even sought out other doctors for treatment? If he couldn’t be cured, the blame fell on all the world’s doctors?

What a sham! It’s outrageously unjust!

”Disciple, people outside say your medical skills are pretty good. Come, come, why don’t you take a look at me? Don’t be deceived by my age. With the right treatment, I could still have a comeback...” As he spoke, the Medicine Immortal Old Man began to roll up his filthy sleeves, extending his dirty wrist to Gu Changsheng.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu quickly stepped aside.

”Well... Forgive my incompetence!” Gu Changsheng looked at the elderly man before her with hair and beard all white, reportedly over 120 years old, and her graceful face seemed on the verge of twisting.

Damn it!

Infertile!

At such an age, it’s quite normal to be infertile! Not being infertile, now that’s abnormal!

She may be a doctor, but she’s not a miracle worker!

Turning back the clock and granting a second spring to an ancient elder nearly twice as old as seventy? She’s sincerely powerless!

”How do you know it won’t work if you don’t give it a try? Disciple, you mustn’t undervalue yourself. I have faith in you, y’know!” While saying this, the Medicine Immortal Old Man wiggled his bushy eyebrows at Gu Changsheng.

Gu Changsheng: ”...”

Damn it!

She really wanted to yell at this old man: I can’t do it!

It’s not like she’s a specialist in infertility treatment! Damn it!

Even if she knew a bit about treating infertility, she wouldn’t try to treat such an elderly man! That’s setting an impossible task!

Beyond human capability, for goodness’ sake!

This is entirely in the realm of the Immortals!

However, the Medicine Immortal Old Man Wu Xi, with his shabby, darkened old face, was earnestly, expectantly staring at her, like a flickering flame of hope!

Gu Changsheng, feeling a shiver down her spine under his gaze, couldn’t be bothered to deny being his disciple anymore. She grabbed Zhou Mu, and dashed off in the direction of the Dining Hall!

Ah, this old man was terrifying! A total weirdo unic!

Almost scared the wits out of me!

She couldn’t provoke or defeat him, so better to hide!

Watching Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu flee in panic, the Medical Immortal Old Man stretched out his arms, still a bit dazed, and the next moment he was surrounded by the father and son of the Guo Family who followed closely behind.

”Elder Medical Immortal, your presence at our humble abode truly brings us great honor!” Elder Guo completely forgot about previously yelling to attack and kill the person. He clung to one of the Medical Immortal Old Man’s arms with a face full of pride.

”Elder Medical Immortal, meeting you is truly a blessing earned over three lifetimes. I have long heard of your unmatched medical skills, so now that you are here, how could I not offer my hospitality?” Guo Luo clung to the Medical Immortal Old Man’s arm from both sides with his father, speaking in a flattering tone. ”Elder, please, please give us the chance to show our respect. We have prepared some hot soup for you. Please wash up first, and we will prepare a table of fine food and wine to entertain you properly!”

”You! You all! My disciple! Disciple...” Seeing the two people propping him up and the crowd surrounding him, the Medical Immortal Old Man glanced at the two figures that just disappeared into the Dining Hall, anxious but helpless.

At his age, with people being so polite, and him being a senior, he couldn’t very well make a move against these kids, could he?

If word got out, wouldn’t those old guys, who don’t get along with him, laugh their heads off?

”Elder, a century-old Huadiao wine! Brewed by my ancestors! Buried three feet deep, I’ll dig it out for you! The only jar!” Elder Guo quickly tightened his grip a bit, blocking the Medical Immortal Old Man’s attempt to head to the Dining Hall.

Goodness, that posture from the Southern Emperor just now clearly showed he was afraid of the Medical Immortal Elder. So what can he do?

He can only help block him!

Even if he can’t block him completely, if he can hold him off for a while, so be it!

”Century-old Huadiao?” The Medical Immortal Old Man’s old eyes lit up instantly at hearing this, and he quickly licked his lips.

”Yes! Century-old Huadiao! Absolutely!” Seeing this, though a bit pained by his family’s treasured wine, Elder Guo nodded with a distressed face. ”Elder, please wash off the dust, and I’ll go dig out the wine for you!”

”Alright, alright! I love century-old Huadiao!” Hearing Elder Guo’s confirmed answer, the Medical Immortal Old Man grinned so wide his eyes could hardly be seen. He was escorted by the Guo Family father and son and the crowd towards the direction of the Guest Garden. He didn’t forget to shout towards the Dining Hall, ”Disciple, wait for me! I’ll come find you for a drink once I’m cleaned up!”

It’s just a quick wash, his disciple wouldn’t be able to escape anyway!

Even if she wanted to run, she couldn’t get out of his Five Fingers Mountain! The Medical Immortal Old Man was confident in that!

”Cough, cough!” Just as Gu Changsheng was about to sit down in the Dining Hall, wanting to drink some tea to calm her nerves, she spurted out again upon hearing that, looked outside the door in a twitch with tears in her eyes.

”No drinking!” Zhou Mu, sitting next to Gu Changsheng, glanced at her with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s face turned bright red.

Thinking of the things she did after drinking, she felt a bit shy deep down, quickly fake-coughing twice to save face in front of the four little beans. ”Cough, cough! That’s not the point! The point is where did this oddity come from? I don’t want to be stuck with him, suddenly having a master!”

She’s already off-kilter enough, adding a more off-kilter master!

She might as well bang her head and end it all!

”As he said, among the hidden eight great families, the Medicine King Valley, though sparse in population, still holds great power. Even the former Emperors of the Four Kingdoms had to show respect upon meeting him!” Zhou Mu looked at Gu Changsheng, speaking solemnly, ”You also study medicine, you should know how great people in the medical path are. The Medicine King Valley has a long legacy, tracing back to ancient times. Regardless of connections or the public’s view, it is an untouchable sanctuary, unrelated to wealth or power. Just the title of Medicine Ancestor has already made him a timeless, immortal legend!”

”Uh...all right then!” Hearing this, Gu Changsheng reluctantly nodded, but immediately looked at Zhou Mu with a pitiful face, ”But, that old man is really something! We can’t handle him, shouldn’t we just escape?”

She really didn’t want such an infertile oddball as a master!

”Haha...” Hearing this, Zhou Mu, seeing Gu Changsheng’s helpless look, laughed, his charm immeasurable, like snow and moon without bounds. He raised an eyebrow playfully at Gu Changsheng, the corners of his mouth lifting in a smile. ”Do you think we can escape without him noticing?”

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately buried her head on the dining table!

Well!

That answer, damn, it hurt!

The answer is so clear: there’s no way they could escape!

That old man is definitely a top master, Gu Changsheng had no doubt about this!

”What to do? What should I do? Do I really have to become a disciple like this? This is clearly like forced violation, like forced purchase without payment! Damn it!” Gu Changsheng said, pounding her chest in frustration.

Damn, if she really got such a master, how could she, the Southern Emperor, show her face in the future?

Is there anything more embarrassing?

”What nonsense are you talking about! The kids are here!” Zhou Mu glanced at the four little beans pretending to sit obediently at the dining table, knocking on the little woman’s forehead beside him with a doting face.

Little Meat Bun’s starry eyes gleamed brightly, and hearing Zhou Mu, he hurriedly covered his eyes, ”I can’t hear it! I didn’t hear anything!”

Gu Changsheng knew she misspoke, but seeing her own son, she couldn’t help rolling her eyes, ”You can’t hear it, so what’s the use of covering your eyes?”

”Uh...fine! I’ll go outside and check when the food will be served...” Little Meat Bun’s face fell, pulling Wuchang Yue and Little Monk Bu Jie along while giving a glance to the sullen Little Han Mo, and ran out.

Little Monk Bu Jie, being pulled by Little Meat Bun, walked out passively, not forgetting to give Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu an infinitely resentful glance.

He’s a monk! Not an attendant student!
