Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1213: Chapter 879: Hidden World Families, Nirvana Order

After the disaster in Xunyang City, the citizens began to organize the underground wine cellars ravaged by the lake water. This incident served as a lesson, and once again, the hidden danger of the underground wine cellars in Xunyang City was addressed and improved.

At the entrance and exit of the wine cellar, countless citizens were carrying wine jars in and out. A white-haired old man sat to one side, shaking his head and sighing, while behind him, a strikingly beautiful woman chattered incessantly.

This woman was none other than Gu Changsheng!

The people of the Guo Family found it peculiar that the relationship between the Medical Immortal Old Man and the Southern Emperor had fundamentally reversed during this catastrophe; their roles had completely reversed!

Gu Changsheng, who originally refused to be the disciple of the Medical Immortal Old Man, suddenly became enthusiastic about it.

Meanwhile, the Medical Immortal Old Man, who was initially eager to take Gu Changsheng as his disciple, became indifferent!

What could they say?

Everyone should just mind their own business!

Although a cesarean section is extremely risky, fortunately, none of them gave up. However, the Gu Residence was in complete disarray, leaving only the courtyard where Beauty Sai resided barely intact. Beauty Sai remained unconscious, making housing a pressing issue.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng felt helpless. If it were just her and Zhou Mu, it would be fine, but now, they were practically dragging their family along, with four little ones in tow. Making do was not an option, so when Beauty Sai awoke the next day, Gu Changsheng hurried to check her pulse, hoping she would soon be out of danger.

It must be said that the constitution of martial artists is truly impressive. You’d think someone like Beauty Sai would be extremely weak postpartum, right? After all, such a big belly suddenly gone, wouldn’t it?

But not only was she not weak, by the next day while lying in bed with a large stitched wound on her stomach, she already had her sister-in-law secretly bring two little children to her bedside, enjoying some mother-child bonding!

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng immediately felt that she was actually overthinking.

Although she may not be the luckiest person, the people around her have always been quite fortunate, or at least luckier than her!

Take Beauty Sai for example. Even when she wasn’t completely sure of guaranteeing her absolute safety, the Medical Immortal Old Man appeared. It must be said, although the Medical Immortal Old Man seems a bit unreliable, his medical skills are truly exceptional. To someone like Gu Changsheng, who has traveled through time, the Life-Locking Eighteen Needles is a legendary existence, yet the Medical Immortal Old Man used them with incredible proficiency. As the founder of the Life-Locking Eighteen Needles, the Medical Immortal Old Man not only has admirable medical skills but surprisingly high martial arts skills as well, which is what Gu Changsheng admires most!

Gu Changsheng knew that what she was about to face might be the strongest enemy she had ever encountered, so forming alliances at this time was very necessary.

The world is a vast place, with no shortage of wonders.

There are always people better than others.

Gu Changsheng firmly believed that this saying bears truth.

Like the mysterious shadow she encountered, Gu Changsheng had an instinctive feeling that this person was a formidable adversary she could not oppose.

However, they had already come to this point, and there was no turning back, no retreat!

In response, Gu Changsheng felt quite helpless!

Gu Changsheng planned that once Beauty Sai’s condition stabilized, in just three to five days at most, she and Zhou Mu would take the little ones and continue north, because Borjigin Nian was still in Linyuan City. If there truly were hidden hands behind the Northern Mongolian affairs, how the situation might unfold, even Gu Changsheng herself was unsure.

Therefore, in the past couple of days, Gu Changsheng stayed by the Medical Immortal Old Man’s side constantly, hoping he would travel north with them.

This day, after Gu Changsheng examined Beauty Sai again and confirmed that her recovery was even better than expected, she felt completely at ease.

Leaving Beauty Sai’s courtyard, Gu Changsheng immediately saw the Medicine Immortal Old Man sitting on a broken wall, watching the Guo Family busy rebuilding. He walked up to him at once.

With the cultivation level of the Medicine Immortal Old Man, he already knew of Gu Changsheng’s presence behind him long before he arrived. He glanced at the little girl sitting next to him with a slight smile but said nothing.

”Master...” Gu Changsheng hesitated for a moment before calling out.

The Medicine Immortal Old Man heard and glanced at her with thoughtful old eyes. After a while, he sighed and said, ”You little girl... don’t think this old man doesn’t know the little schemes you’re plotting in your heart!”

”Uh...” Hearing this, Gu Changsheng instantly didn’t know how to respond.

She awkwardly touched her nose.

Oh my, they say people become wiser with age, and this old man is truly a genius among people!

Of course, that’s not the main point. The main point is that this old man is so straightforward with his words; he didn’t even leave her a way to defend herself, making someone as shameless as her feel a bit embarrassed!

What a sin!

”That Spirit Body is the Spirit Body of the Primordial Transformative Realm!” Paying no mind to Gu Changsheng’s embarrassment, the Medicine Immortal Old Man continued, his usually playful face showing a hint of seriousness.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s heart trembled as she listened to the Medicine Immortal Old Man continue, ”Not only is it the Spirit Body of the Primordial Transformative Realm, but you can also probably sense that the Spirit Body’s age is not great, at most not exceeding thirty! To reach the Conquest Realm before thirty is unparalleled in today’s world. So, tell me, how did you get involved with such an incredible being?”

”Uh...” Hearing this, Gu Changsheng felt her heart tighten and couldn’t help but pout innocently, ”Do I look like I have nothing better to do than provoke others? Besides, someone like me who cherishes life, even if I were bored, I’d pick someone I could handle, right? The storm is approaching, and it’s not me provoking them; it’s someone plotting against me in the shadows, and I’m quite helpless about it!”

Is this the butterfly effect?

Look, when she was down and out in Liuzhou City, no one bothered her. Once she gained a bit of fame, all kinds of trouble followed!

As the saying goes, blessings come with misfortune, and misfortune hides within blessings. Gu Changsheng felt she really was attracting too much hatred, with troubles coming one after another. What could she say to that?

”Ah...” The Medicine Immortal Old Man sighed, thought for a while, then decided to speak, ”Why do you think this old man appeared in Xunyang City? Little girl, part of the reason is my urgent desire to find a successor. The other part is due to someone deliberately spreading rumors among the Hidden World Families. It’s because someone released the word that an unparalleled medical genius appeared in the world, which lured me out of hiding and into this mundane world...”

”Ah?” Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng was stunned, disbelief flashing across her face.

”You!” The Medicine Immortal Old Man shook his head and slowly continued, ”Do you know why the Hidden World Families are called that? To be able to easily find this old man’s hidden location and still manage to get the information to my ears, I always felt it was intentional, and now I’m even more convinced of it. Little girl, this old man is inclined to take you as a disciple, but your talent for attracting trouble truly leaves this old man in awe...”

”Old Man...” Hearing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t bring herself to shamelessly call him Master anymore.

”Listen carefully to what this old man has to say next! Beyond the Imperial Court, there is the Itinerant World. The Itinerant World, far away, is right in front of us. Let’s not mention the Imperial Court; everyone knows that the Wind Cloud Mountain Villa has dominated the Itinerant World for centuries, with methods and influence that command respect. However, this old man wants to tell you that centuries ago, the Wind Cloud Mountain Villa was but a group abandoned by the Ten Great Families. Even today’s Imperial Family, when truly traced back, is much more humble compared to our ten hidden noble families!”

”There are always bigger fish, and greater heights, and some of you think that being an Undefeated General or becoming the Southern Emperor in the mundane world is already impressive. Little do you know, in another world unfamiliar to you, young prodigies like you, even if there aren’t ten, there could be eight. But we once made an agreement that the Ten Great Families would retreat from worldly affairs and not involve ourselves with mundane matters, regardless of dynastic changes or the rises and falls of the Itinerant World. Yet, as time goes by, the young descendants of the Ten Great Families grow increasingly dissatisfied with hiding themselves away, often wanting to emerge, yet restrained by the agreement. But this time, not only has someone used you as bait to lure me out from hiding, but the other nine Hidden World Families have also issued the Nirvana Order!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng furrowed her brows, and asked in confusion, ”Nirvana Order? What’s that?”

Oh my, the more she listened, the more confused she became.

”The Ten Hidden World Families are entering the world! With the Nirvana Order, the Ten Hidden World Families will send out young and promising descendants to start a martial arts competition. The top ten winners will not only receive generous rewards, but also break the secluded agreement and seek opportunities to reach the Conquest Realm. And this time, the situation might not be as simple as before. In the long history, the Nirvana Order appeared several times, but never stirred so many people from the Hidden World Families. This time is different! On my way here, I saw many descendants of Hidden World Families mingled among ordinary Itinerant World’s People, and there’s quite a number, a bit too many even. I wonder what it is that drove them all out...” said the Medicine Immortal Old Man, shaking his head in disapproval.
