45: Chapter 45 What’s the Name of that Divine Doctor?_1 45: Chapter 45 What’s the Name of that Divine Doctor?_1 Lu Chuan quickly stood up and backed away, frowning at Cao Xiong, “Master Cao, what do you mean by this?”

Cao Xiong sneered, “Didn’t you just hear?

Someone can heal my disciple’s arm; I don’t need to waste pleasantries on someone like you who can’t recognize kindness!”

Lu Chuan’s nerves immediately tensed, “Impossible, no one but me can heal their arms.

Master Cao, I advise you to think carefully before you turn against me!”

Su Jinxiu scoffed, “We gave you a courtesy, and you’re starting to think of yourself as indispensable?

There are plenty of capable people in this world.

Don’t think too highly of yourself!”

The four disciples also glared menacingly at Lu Chuan.

“Master, this bastard dares to blackmail you, you must not let him off the hook!”

“Exactly!

Even if we had actually fancied his sister-in-law, how dare he demand an apology from us and even wants to send us to the Censorate Department, he’s just asking for it!”

“Damn it, I’ve been holding my breath for too long.

Since we’re not obliged to beg him, let’s teach him a lesson!”

…

A malevolent smile appeared on Cao Xiong’s face, and Inner Strength gathered in his palm, enveloping the whole hall in an invisible oppressive force, “Kid, are you going to kneel on your own, or should I make you kneel and beg for mercy?”

Sweat broke out on Lu Chuan’s forehead as he circulated his Spiritual Power to its limits, resisting the pressure, “Master Cao, are you not afraid that the martial arts world will laugh at you for this?”

Cao Xiong smirked, “Laugh at me?

The martial arts world respects power.

Go out and ask who dares to laugh at Cao Xiong!”

Lu Chuan took a deep breath, knowing that the situation was beyond salvage now.

He cursed inwardly, wondering who the idiot was who dared claim they could heal those four people’s arms.

In today’s world, unless a second Cultivator emerged, there was simply no way anyone could resolve his techniques.

Su Jinxiu urged, “Husband, don’t waste your breath on this guy, sort him out quickly, and avenge my precious disciples!”

Without further hesitation, Cao Xiong struck out with a palm towards Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan used all his strength to defend, but still, he flew backward like a cannonball, crashing into the courtyard outside.

He struggled to stand, looking back at Cao Xiong with fear, thinking that his opponent truly was one of Cloud City’s top ten experts; the overwhelming power of the man meant Lu Chuan could probably only take three moves at most.

“Cao Xiong, don’t push me too far!” Lu Chuan shouted through clenched teeth.

Cao Xiong entered the courtyard, sneering, “Today, I will push you too far, and what can you do about it?”

He dashed towards Lu Chuan with such speed that he was nearly invisible to the naked eye.

A punch heavy as Mount Tai charged at Lu Chuan’s chest, and in that moment, a grim sense of impending death rose within him.

He felt that if this punch hit him, even if it didn’t kill him, he might spend the rest of his life bedridden.

But the other’s speed was so fast, he had no time to dodge.

“Is this where I’m going to fall?”

Just as the punch was about to strike Lu Chuan,

suddenly a figure appeared, grabbing Cao Xiong’s fist.

Bang!

The powerful energy dispersed in all directions, shattering some of the potted plants in the courtyard.

The newcomer stood unshaken, dissipating Cao Xiong’s force completely.

Lu Chuan looked forward, surprise lighting up his face, “Senior!”

Cao Xiong’s brow furrowed as he turned to the newcomer and said coldly, “Yu Qingfeng, why are you joining in this mess?”

Yu Qingfeng spoke indifferently, “The duty of the Censorate Department is to cleanse those who commit crimes with martial power, those who bully with it.

I’m here to carry out my duties!”

Cao Xiong squinted his eyes, “This kid has no background, just a nobody with a little martial arts talent.

Are you really going to confront me for him?”

Yu Qingfeng replied, “He is my life-saving benefactor.

If you really want to hurt him, then be ready to completely fall out with the Censorate Department!”

Frowned by Cao Xiong arose, taking another look at Lu Chuan, somewhat surprised that this youngster was the life-saver of Yu Qingfeng.

After pondering momentarily, Cao Xiong’s face broke into a smile, saying, “Senior Yu is kidding, right?

I was just testing his martial potential to give him some guidance.

There was no other intention.”

Yu Qingfeng snorted, “That’s best.”

He then turned to Lu Chuan, “Let’s go.”

The two of them walked toward the exit of the martial arts hall.

Then Su Jinxiu ran up, shouting, “This kid cheated us out of medicinal herbs that were fifty years old, give them back to us!”

Lu Chuan’s expression darkened, and after glancing at Su Jinxiu, he said sternly, “I will have someone return it when I go back.

I wouldn’t deign to take things from people like you!”

After that, he followed Senior Yu and left the Supreme Path Martial Arts Hall.

“Tch,” Su Jinxiu scoffed with disdain, then went back to Cao Xiong’s side, “Husband, this kid is really hateful.

Find a chance to take him down later.”

The four disciples came over, nodding in agreement.

Cao Xiong shook his head, “With Yu Qingfeng as his support, the kid is untouchable.

Just now, Yu Qingfeng didn’t take the opportunity to bring the four of them back for questioning, which was already giving me face.

If I act against Lu Chuan again, I would really be tearing up with the Censorate Department.”

Su Jinxiu and the four disciples all looked displeased, but in light of the Censorate Department’s intimidation, they dared not say more.

Cao Xiong said, “Let’s focus on healing their arms first.

What about your side?”

Su Jinxiu said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I’ve already spoken to Haitang, and she will help us arrange a meeting with the Divine Doctor.”

Cao Xiong nodded and asked, “Is this Divine Doctor really as reliable as you say?”

With a look of certainty, Su Jinxiu said, “Of course.

Some time ago, old Chu from Haitang’s family was poisoned with a rare neurological toxin.

Not only did he go blind, but he also almost died from a brain invasion.

It was the Divine Doctor who saved him.

How can you question his reliability?”

Cao Xiong, full of curiosity, “That formidable?

What’s the name of this Divine Doctor?

How come I’ve never heard of him before?”

Su Jinxiu said, “I didn’t ask that, but genuinely skilled people usually keep a low profile.

It’s normal to have not heard of him.

As long as he can heal our precious disciple’s arm, that’s all that matters.

Why bother with so many questions?”

Cao Xiong nodded, “Then you should prepare a generous thank-you gift.

If he can really cure our disciple’s arm, we mustn’t skimp on showing our gratitude.”

…

Outside the Supreme Path Martial Arts Hall.

Lu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Senior Yu, “Senior, I owe you big time for this one, otherwise I would have been done for here.”

Yu Qingfeng said with a smile, “No need to be courteous, it’s what I should do.”

“It’s just that Cao Xiong has considerable power, and his ties with Long Tianya are strong.

Even the Censorate Department can’t directly confront them, so we couldn’t take his four disciples back to face charges.

I hope you understand.”

Lu Chuan nodded, “I understand.

You don’t need to take it to heart, Senior.”

He seemed to recall something and asked, “By the way, Senior, is it true that after reaching Inner Force Stage 9, the next realm is the Grandmaster Realm?”

“Correct.

Once inner strength achieves complete integration and mastery, one reaches the Grandmaster level.

This is different from the stages of inner strength.

Martial Artists in the Grandmaster Realm can exert a suppressive force during combat, limiting an opponent’s performance.

Although there is only a step between Inner Force Stage 9 and the Grandmaster, under the pressure of a Grandmaster, if someone at Stage 9 can unleash half their power, that’s quite impressive.

That’s one of the reasons why one can be called a Grandmaster at this stage,” explained Yu Qingfeng.

Lu Chuan had an epiphany, “Thank you for clearing up my confusion, Senior.”

Yu Qingfeng looked at Lu Chuan and smiled, “To defeat Cao Xiong’s four proud disciples alone, you must have stepped into the Grandmaster Realm.

Such talent is truly rare.

I wonder if you’d be interested in joining our Censorate Department.

Here, you’ll get better resources and guidance.”

Lu Chuan scratched his head awkwardly, “Senior, I appreciate your kind offer, but I don’t have such plans right now.”

Yu Qingfeng didn’t insist, simply nodding, “Just think it over for yourself.

However, you must remember, even after stepping into the Grandmaster Realm, never allow yourself to become arrogant or conceited.

There are nine grades within the Grandmaster Realm, each a different world apart.

You’re just at the threshold of the Grandmaster Realm and have a long way to go before you can be considered a true powerhouse.”

“Moreover, our Censorate Department has quite a number of talents like you, and some are even more monstrous.

You must always stay humble to avoid going astray.”

Lu Chuan nodded earnestly, “Thank you for the advice, Senior!”

I should now be at the standard of a Grade 1 Grandmaster, but I wonder what grade Senior Yu and Cao Xiong are currently at.

The two parted ways at a crossroad.

Yu Qingfeng said, “Cao Xiong won’t dare to touch you now that I’ve intervened.

You can focus on your own matters.

If you encounter any trouble, contact me immediately.”

Lu Chuan thanked Yu Qingfeng and took a taxi home.

“It’s a good thing I talked to Senior Yu about this in advance, otherwise today might have been uncertain for me.”

“Cao Xiong, just wait.

Even though you’re one of Cloud City’s top ten experts, sooner or later, I will have you beneath my feet!”

The scenery outside the window flashed by rapidly, and Lu Chuan’s desire for power grew even stronger.

Once home, he found the cheapest courier service to send back that fifty-year-old medicinal herb to Cao Xiong.

He didn’t want to waste a single minute, fully immersing himself in cultivation.

When he felt at his peak again, he continued to refine the amethyst.

8 PM.

Ring ring ring…

Lu Chuan put down the amethyst, picked up his phone, and saw it was Chu Mengyao calling.

A mischievous smile appeared on his face, and he answered the call, “Have you thought it through?”

Chu Mengyao went silent for several seconds, reminded of the last time Lu Chuan mentioned waiting for her to take the initiative to crawl into bed, which made her feel a wave of shame.

“You’re sick!” Chu Mengyao cursed and then hung up the phone.

But after a little while, she called Lu Chuan back.

Trying to suppress his laughter, Lu Chuan answered the phone, “Alright, no more jokes.

Did you need something?”

Chu Mengyao’s voice carried a hint of resentment, “My mom has a friend who wants to see you for a treatment.

Will you have time tomorrow?”

Lu Chuan said cheerfully, “Of course, I will.

After all, she is potentially my future mother-in-law.

When the mother-in-law asks, how can I refuse?”

“Can’t you have some shame!” Chu Mengyao roared.

Lu Chuan touched his cheek, “Am I wrong?

We do have an engagement, after all.”

Chu Mengyao huffed, ignoring the comment, “I’ll send you the address.

Remember to come on time tomorrow.”

After speaking, she hung up the call.

Lu Chuan shook his head with a smile, his cheek seeming indeed thicker with time.

Was this a common affliction among Cultivators?

“I wonder what kind of patient the mother-in-law wants me to treat.” Without further thought, he continued refining the amethyst.
