Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Hurry Up

In the evening, the two walked out of Nuoxiang Building, refreshed and revitalized.

"Although it can’t quite compare to Xiao Xiang Guan, it has its own unique charm. Yue’s flute skills are exceptional. Before we leave, we must experience it one more time. Xiao Xiang Guan also has a girl named Water Cloud, who has an amazing ’Swallow Collects Water’ skill. I’ll take my brother there to experience it, you’ll be enchanted for sure," Mei Weixuan said with a lingering expression, licking his lips.

"As long as Brother Mei is satisfied. By the way, there’s something I forgot to mention. I have a younger brother, just five years old. We depend on each other. If I go to the county, can I bring him along?"

"Oh! I was wondering what it could be, of course, you can. During these few days, Zhong, my younger brother, sort things out. In three days, we’ll depart timely so as not to keep Master Yin waiting," instructed Mei Weixuan.

"Rest assured, Brother Mei."

The two parted ways at the intersection, one returned to the County Government, and the other headed back to Huaihua Alley.

Zhong Lin watched Mei Weixuan’s departing figure, touching his chin.

"Though Mei Weixuan comes from a noble family, he doesn’t carry that air of arrogance. It’s uncertain whether this demeanor is genuine or just a facade. There’s much more to observe."

"I didn’t expect to become acquainted with the Hall Master of Hundred Herbs Hall, an upper third grades strongman, and even become his official painter. Life is truly mysterious."

"Yet, it’s also a pathway to engage with higher power levels, whether that’s good or bad remains to be seen."

...

"Second brother, I’m heading to Brother Xiu’s house for dinner. Grandma made braised pork today. Once you see this, come over too."

In the empty house, there was only a piece of paper left on the table, with a smiley face ◠‿◠ at the bottom left corner.

"This little rascal."

A light smile appeared on Zhong Lin’s face. Since they moved here, Little Shitou got a friend and became more cheerful day by day. Mainly, the old Xu Ge helps educate the children, saving Zhong Lin a lot of work.

He turned and walked towards Old Xu Ge’s house. Before he even entered the door, he heard the noise of two kids playing.

He saw the two kids, each holding a wooden sword, making loud "heeyah" sounds, having a great time of it.

"Second brother."

"Brother Lin."

Seeing Zhong Lin enter, the two stopped their mock fighting and dashed over like the wind, their faces blushed and their hair wet with sweat.

"Have you finished your assignments?"

"Long done," proudly replied Brother Xiu.

"I’m done too."

"I see why you’re so bold now!"

Zhong Lin patted the two young ones on their heads and then pulled out a string of large coins from his bosom, handing it to them.

"Go get a pot of wine, and with whatever’s left, buy some candied figs to eat."

Their eyes lit up with excitement as they took the copper coins and dashed outside.

Lady Xu walked out of the kitchen, carrying a large pot of chicken soup, smiling at the scene before her.

"Just go on spoiling them!"

"They’re just kids! It’s fine. In a few years, we can be stricter. Has Old Xu not come back yet?" Zhong Lin laughed.

"You go sit in the study awhile; he should be back any time now. I still have two dishes to prepare in the kitchen; it’ll be done soon."

"Let me help you!"

"There’s no need, no need, just sit comfortably, it’ll be ready soon."

Having been firmly sat down by Lady Xu, Zhong Lin had no choice but to resignedly rest in the study.

Old Xu Ge’s study was full of medical books and prescriptions, all of which Zhong Lin had already perused, including their family heirloom, the "Xu’s Medical Books."

"My medical skill has been stagnant for quite some time. This trip to Tianyang County is a good opportunity to collect more medical books, especially in alchemy. Achieving elixir freedom must be expedited; otherwise, progression in cultivation would be excruciatingly slow."

"The Martial Arts Sixth Grade Qi Blood Realm focuses on accumulating Qi and blood. When it progresses to supporting the palms, it’s mastery; when it supports both arms, it’s minor success; and great success is when the four limbs are in harmony. Although I’ve reached the sixth grade, my Qi and blood are thin strands. Solely relying on regular food to accumulate Qi and blood feels akin to an ant moving a mountain. Over prolonged periods, it might even lead to physical deficiency."

"A change is necessary, just as Little Shitou..."

Zhong Lin’s brows furrowed slightly.

"We’re just getting settled here, yet we have to leave. I wonder if Little Shitou can handle it. Prolonging the pain won’t do, we must go."

Zhong Lin shook his head, reached for a medical book on the shelf, and began reading it again, despite having seen it before.

Half an hour later, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, Old Xu Ge and the children returned together.

"Go wash your hands; Brother Lin has been waiting for a while."

"Let him wait then! It’s nothing major," Old Xu Ge said gruffly.

Recently, Old Xu noticed his wife was paying less attention to him, while being more enthusiastic about Zhong Lin, which made him a bit jealous.

Zhong Lin set down the medical book and walked out of the study, teasing, "Old Xu, it seems your liver energy is running high lately, you really shouldn’t drink. I’ll just drink alone then."

"You know nothing," Old Xu Ge retorted with a laugh, "even more reason to calm that fire with some drinks."

"You two go wash your hands quickly, or else you’ll be eating outside!"

Lady Xu was in a fury, so the two hurriedly rushed off to wash their hands.

This was Old Xu Ge’s home, and he naturally took the main seat. Little Shitou and Brother Xiu scrambled to pour wine for the two of them, filling the dining table with laughter and joy.

After dinner, Brother Xiu and Little Shitou played hide-and-seek in the courtyard by moonlight, and Lady Xu returned to the kitchen to wash dishes, leaving only Zhong Lin and Old Xu Ge at the table for more drinks with a dish of broad beans.

"You’re heading to Tianyang County? Is it urgent?"

Old Xu Ge was taken aback, hearing Zhong Lin’s intention to leave.

"I initially planned to go later, but plans couldn’t keep up with changes."

Zhong Lin recounted the events at the County Government today, which left Old Xu Ge stupefied, especially upon learning Zhong Lin got involved in Yin Daoyan’s "Dao Yan Herbalism," causing him to stand up in astonishment, trembling slightly.

"Young Zhong, is what you say true?"

"Of course it’s true."

"Then hurry and go."

"Huh?"

"Huh, my foot, do you have any idea who Yin Daoyan is? He’s the Grandmaster, an Elixir Doctor! I heard before, Master Yin was compiling a great work to pass down to the world, now it’s finally happening. You’re able to join with your artistic skills, could it be your ancestral tomb is exhaling auspicious fumes? This is a chance for eternal renown!"

Old Xu Ge’s face was flushed with excitement, wishing he could pinch Zhong Lin and take his place.

Not to mention how glorious it is to assist the Elixir Doctor, the Master Yin Grandmaster, but just having such a timeless opportunity would drive countless people in the medical realm wild. If Xu Le had this opportunity, he’d willingly die for it right now.
