Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1214: Chapter 880: Win the Tournament, Become My Disciple!

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng was dumbfounded!

Damn, what does this even mean?

Because of Borjigin Nian, the Fengyun Order was issued by Wind Cloud Mountain Villa, causing a stir in the Itinerant World. Now, not only are there members of the Itinerant World’s People, but also another group of big shots. According to the Medicine Immortal Old Man, even those individuals from the Hidden World Clans have stealthily blended into the Itinerant World’s People. What on earth is going on?

Just when the Fengyun Order was issued, she got hit with a Nirvana Order!

Can she even survive like this?

”Old man, what exactly are the Hidden World Families all coming out for? To throw the world into chaos?” Gu Changsheng blinked her eyes, speculating with a bit of cynicism. Could it be that those Hidden World Clans have been hiding for too long and suddenly want to team up to take over the world?

Gu Changsheng was immediately frightened by her own thoughts.

Why does it seem more and more possible to her? After all, in this dazzling world, there shouldn’t be many who can truly remain untouched by the mundane world, right?

”No! Their emergence is only for a single opportunity!” The Medicine Immortal Old Man shook his head, smiling, ”Stop worrying unnecessarily. They aren’t interested in your world! Their interest lies elsewhere!”

”Uh...” Gu Changsheng heard this and her face turned a bit sheepish.

Well, her world was turned down, wasn’t it?

So what if it was turned down? It wasn’t like she wanted it in the first place; she was just a duck forced onto a perch!

”Then, old man, what opportunity are they after? Opportunities are intangible and can’t be grasped. They’re nowhere near as solid as real gold and silver!” Gu Changsheng thought of her cherished gold and silver treasures and always felt that opportunities were too unreliable!

”You!” The Medicine Immortal Old Man tapped Gu Changsheng’s forehead, somewhat irritably, yet with the casualness of a senior, ”What they seek is transcendence! To conquer the Transformative Realm, transcend the mundane, escape the rotation of the mortal world, achieving immortality!”

”...” Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng had a moment of awakening.

Once enlightened, Gu Changsheng was immediately horrified.

Because she felt she might have realized something...

”Girl, the world is vast, but treasures that can lead to Sudden Enlightenment and entering the Transformative Realm are extremely rare. Thus, even within the Hidden World Clans, every generation strives towards this ultimate goal, with some succeeding and others failing...” The Medicine Immortal Old Man said with a raised brow towards Gu Changsheng, a hint of pride flashing across his face, ”See, I am the only one from the Medicine King Valley clan who has succeeded!”

”You’re the only one in the Medicine King Valley, try making it one more and see?” Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes dramatically.

Frankly speaking, the old man in front of her was the sole survivor of Medicine King Valley.

Moreover, it’s said that Medicine King Valley holds a high status among the Ten Great Hidden Clans!

Looking back through ages, the profession of a Doctor might not rank in the Upper Nine Streams among all trades, but no one would be foolish enough to offend a Doctor, because there’s nothing more deadly than a Doctor’s retaliation!

People only need a diagnosis of ”incurable” or ”ineffective medicine” to directly pronounce a death sentence without any legal consequences, right?

Upon thinking this, Gu Changsheng suddenly blinked her large eyes at the Medicine Immortal Old Man, her Phoenix Eyes flickering slightly, and she mumbled, ”Old man, is it true that your Medicine King Valley is so sparsely populated that it ranks first among the Ten Great Clans?”

”Indeed! I, alone, can eat my fill without worry for my family’s hunger!” The Medicine Immortal Old Man thumped his chest, proudly declaring.

”Ohhhh. I get it, they must have seen that you’re the only one holding down the fort in Medicine King Valley, so they underestimated your status, plotting to anger you to death. Without anywhere to seek medical help, they ended up giving Medicine King Valley a status far exceeding its true strength, haha...” Gu Changsheng feigned a light-hearted tone.

”Nonsense!” The Medicine Immortal Old Man immediately straightened his face upon hearing this, looking at Gu Changsheng solemnly, he said in a deep voice, ”You think I’m joking? I’m telling you, Medicine King Valley ranks first among the Ten Great Hidden Clans, and it’s not an empty title; no one has dared to question it for hundreds of years! Do you remember I told you about my master’s master? I don’t even know what he’s up to these days?”

”Hmm.” Gu Changsheng heard this and nodded hesitantly.

”Then let me tell you, even my master’s master doesn’t know if his own master is within the cycle of reincarnation!”

”Uh...” Hearing this, Gu Changsheng suddenly felt stunned.

”Those noble families, whenever someone reaches the Conquest Realm, they can’t wait to boast about it, making sure none of the Hidden World Families can remain ignorant, unlike our Medicine King Valley lineage that remains humble, indifferent. Although Medicine King Valley keeps only one heir per generation, this heir is bound to reach the Conquest Realm, generation after generation. While the others almost idolize their Conquest Realm ancestors, our Medicine King Valley remains consistently with only one Primordial Transformative Realm person! My master vanished from the world after I reached the Conquest Realm, never to be found again!” The Medicine Immortal Old Man said with a proud face to Gu Changsheng, ”With this, do you still dare say Medicine King Valley is unworthy of its reputation?”

”Alright, this bragging is truly impressive!” Hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately nodded and said, ”I wonder if your master or his master has the spirit to find a host? I’m afraid even you don’t know, right?”

”Uh...” The Medicine Immortal Old Man was momentarily speechless upon hearing this.

”That’s just it. Although those who reach the Conquest Realm can transcend worldly affairs by using their Spirit Body to find a new host, you’re a doctor, standing from a doctor’s perspective, would you strive for immortality by using your Spirit Body to seize another soul’s body? That’s akin to killing!” Gu Changsheng said, shaking his head slowly at the elderly Medicine Immortal Old Man before him with his white hair and beard, ”You may scoff at worldly concerns, but you are not obsessed with them. Though seemingly carefree, at such an old age, still unwilling to start anew with reincarnation, this already speaks volumes!”

Finding a host is best at one’s peak; the older one is, the greater the risk.

The Medicine Immortal Old Man has reached his current age and hasn’t used this method; perhaps he claims not having taken an apprentice as an excuse for unfulfilled wishes, but for over a hundred years, he hasn’t found a single person with a good aptitude for medicine? Do you think this is really the case, or is someone simply slacking off?

The Medicine Immortal Old Man is a qualified doctor, something Gu Changsheng deeply realized on Beauty Sai’s operating table. Because of this, Gu Changsheng firmly believes that as a doctor, even calmly facing death, it’s unlikely he would do something to kill a child’s soul for his own reincarnation...

”Ah...” The Medicine Immortal Old Man sighed deeply upon hearing this, ”Think what you will, anyway, the other Nine Great Clans consider Medicine King Valley the number one Hidden Family— that’s enough.”

At this point, the Medicine Immortal Old Man paused, then continued, ”I dearly wish my master wasn’t a qualified doctor...”

Their Medicine King Valley lineage, healing through generations, doctors with benevolence, even though each generation reaches the Conquest Realm, whether they truly attain immortality or not, and how they make their choice, always remains a mystery...

Life and death are inherently difficult topics to choose from...

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng realized he had strayed too far, inevitably bringing up the Medicine Immortal Old Man’s melancholy.

Thinking about it, people of Medicine King Valley labor arduously, finally reaching the Conquest Realm and transcending, yet as doctors, in life or death choices, always inclined to save lives, they can’t quite bring themselves to act decisively, ah!

”Alright, let’s not talk about these vague and irrelevant things anymore!” The Medicine Immortal Old Man said, patting his butt before jumping off a broken wall, tossing a token into Gu Changsheng’s arms.

Gu Changsheng caught it passively, looking puzzled.

”This is the Nirvana Order! This time, the Nirvana Martial Contest location is at Linyuan City. The exact content of the contest is unknown; according to past practice, they’ve only given Medicine King Valley one token. However, I’ve thought it over, and they all send their young disciples; it’s ultimately inappropriate for me to go myself. You, this young girl, go and support our reputation for me, will you!” The Medicine Immortal Old Man said while waving at Gu Changsheng.

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately and excitedly jumped down from the broken wall, looking incredulously, ”Old man, what do you mean by this? Aren’t you afraid I’ll drag you into the fire pit? I’ve offended an incredibly young Primordial Transformative Realm...”

The Medicine Immortal Old Man’s intent is really too obvious!

To Linyuan City, she must go, because Borjigin Nian is there, and the location of the Nirvana Martial Contest happens to be there. Additionally, the Medicine Immortal Old Man is letting her participate with Medicine King Valley’s Nirvana Order, so...

This effectively announces to the world that she is a Medicine King Valley heir, under the Medicine Immortal Old Man’s protection?

”Stop imagining things! Once you win the Nirvana Martial Contest, I’ll consider whether to take you as a disciple!” The Medicine Immortal Old Man snorted.

”Then what exactly is contested in the Nirvana Martial Contest? Anyway, I have nothing better to do, give me a heads-up so I can prepare!” Gu Changsheng carefully tucked the token into her arms, asking anxiously.

”I don’t know, the Nirvana Martial Contest has hardly been held a few times, and each time the contest differs. I heard one year’s topic was to find the Leviathan’s nest in the South Sea, another time the challenge was to steal from the Four Kingdoms’ Imperial Palace treasury...”

”Damn! Competing like this? Isn’t this asking me to break my own moral code? Damn Leviathan, Leviathan is a legend!”
