Chapter 82: Chapter 82: The Celestial Master’s Banquet

Ding Ling waved her hand dismissively, "Let’s not talk about it anymore. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are all part of life; I’ve come to terms with it."

Su Qingyan said, "Still, you should tell us what illness your uncle has. Chen Fan knows medicine; perhaps he could treat your uncle."

Ding Ling’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Chen Fan, "Chen Fan... knows medicine too?"

Chen Fan nodded.

His painting skills were first-class, and even Master Wu honored him as Master Chen, a height unattainable by ordinary people. And now, Ding Ling had discovered that Chen Fan also knew medicine... that was just too incredible!

Ding Ling suppressed her shock and said, "My dad suffered a sudden cerebral thrombosis. He nearly died the day it happened and is now lying in the ICU hanging on to life. We’ve consulted many renowned international doctors, but they’re all at a loss. Chen Fan... can you really treat him?"

As long as there’s a breath left, I can save them... Chen Fan thought to himself, a smile appearing on his face, "I can try."

Ding Ling pondered for a moment. Although her father’s current condition was almost equivalent to a death sentence, she was unwilling to give up any glimmer of hope.

She looked at Chen Fan, "When will you be available to come and see my father?"

Chen Fan thought for a moment, "I’m busy tomorrow evening. How about the day after tomorrow?"

Ding Ling nodded seriously, "That would really be a big help. Thank you."

The two exchanged contact information.

Not long after, Ding Ling headed home, while Chen Fan and Su Qingyan returned to their hotel.

The next day, Su Qingyan left early for Jiang City because she had to deal with the relocation of her company.

Chen Fan wandered around the Provincial City alone.

As evening approached, Wu Tiangang called, "Master Chen, I’ve finished handling my affairs and just in time too. I’ll accompany you to the Celestial Master’s banquet."

Chen Fan gave his location.

Before long, a black business car arrived, picked up Chen Fan, and headed for Tianxiang Building.

By that time, luxury cars were already gathered in front of Tianxiang Building.

After arriving at the entrance with Wu Tiangang and showing their tickets, they entered Tianxiang Building.

"The scale of this Celestial Master’s banquet is much higher than the last gathering I organized. The attendees are all high-level practitioners from the Provincial City’s Cultivation World. I’m rather insignificant here, but you, Master Chen, are definitely still the one held in awe."

Wu Tiangang said with a smile, joining Chen Fan in the elevator.

Chen Fan nodded lightly. More than Dao Entering Celestial Masters, he was currently more interested in Grandmaster Realm Martial Arts experts.

His main reason for coming was to observe and see what the Magic Artifact that the Celestial Master was going to display looked like.

Exiting the elevator, Chen Fan saw a grandiose, glittering hall.

Many cultivators had already gathered in the hall.

In the center, an elder in a black robe stood with his hands clasped behind his back, around whom everyone was respectfully greeting.

A wisp of white hair on the elder’s forehead was particularly striking.

On seeing the man, Chen Fan was momentarily taken aback.

Wasn’t this the same Elder Qi who had bought the Yin Yang Bagua Plate at the last auction?

Surveying the crowd, Chen Fan quickly spotted the figure of Chu Yunkuo not too far away.

"Is that the Celestial Master you spoke of?" Chen Fan pointed at Elder Qi.

Wu Tiangang nodded, "Indeed, it is him. He officially entered the Dao not too long ago and joined the ranks of Celestial Masters. He is a retainer of the Chu Family, and today’s banquet is also hosted by them."

Chen Fan was disappointed.

He had thought he would encounter some enlightened being today, but it turned out to be Elder Qi.

Chen Fan activated his Heavenly Eye and scanned Elder Qi. He saw that the elder’s mana had indeed increased significantly, but compared to himself, there was still a considerable gap.

Moreover, if Elder Qi was to be the protagonist of today’s Celestial Master feast, there was no need to guess, the magic artifact about to be displayed would definitely be the Yin Yang Bagua Plate.

"It seems this trip was in vain," Chen Fan said with a helpless smile.

Wu Tiangang looked puzzled, "Master Chen, do you know this Celestial Master Qi?"

Chen Fan nodded, "And we’ve had some disputes as well."

Wu Tiangang’s face changed, "This..."

Chen Fan waved his hand, "It’s not a big deal, you don’t need to worry about it."

It was then that Wu Tiangang finally relaxed.

At that moment, Chu Yunkuo noticed Wu Tiangang and walked over with a smile, "Master Wu, you finally made it. Didn’t you say you were bringing a Celestial Master with you this time? Where is that Celestial Master?"

When everyone saw Wu Tiangang arrive, their attention also shifted to him.

Wu Tiangang turned and introduced Chen Fan, "This is the Master Chen I mentioned."

Chu Yunkuo turned to look at Chen Fan, and the smile on his face instantly vanished as he exclaimed, "It’s you!"

Chen Fan said with a mocking smile, "Mr. Chu, we meet again."

A look of disbelief appeared on Chu Yunkuo’s face, and he asked Wu Tiangang, "You say he’s a Celestial Master? Are you kidding?"

Everyone in the hall showed a look of surprise.

"That person looks so young, yet he’s a Celestial Master? That’s too unbelievable, isn’t it? He’s only in his twenties, where could his Dao Practice come from?" someone questioned.

Elder Qi also looked over at Chen Fan, then let out a cold snort, "I’ve seen this kid before, he’s definitely not any Celestial Master!"

There was an uproar among the crowd.

Elder Qi walked up to Chen Fan, sensed his aura, and still could not detect any sign of mana on him, snorted coldly, "He has no mana fluctuations at all, I don’t even think he’s a cultivator!"

"Wu Tiangang, you must be getting senile to be fooled by such a slippery trickster."

Wu Tiangang appeared anxious and quickly explained, "Celestial Master Qi, it’s not what you think, Master Chen, he..."

Chen Fan raised his hand to stop Wu Tiangang and said with a smile to the people around, "Celestial Master Qi is right, I am indeed not a cultivator."

Wu Tiangang’s face was full of confusion, "Master Chen, you..."

Chen Fan passed him a glance, signaling him not to continue explaining.

The so-called Celestial Master was Elder Qi; thus, today’s Celestial Master feast had completely lost all attraction for Chen Fan.

Considering the past conflict during the auction, he didn’t want to have any dealings with the Chu family or Elder Qi, so going along with their misunderstanding might save him a lot of trouble.

Chu Yunkuo scoffed, "I didn’t expect your talent for deceiving people to be so impressive, fooling Master Wu into treating you like a Celestial Master. You probably didn’t expect today’s protagonist at the Celestial Master feast to be Elder Qi."

Chen Fan nodded with a smile, "Indeed, I did not expect that."

Chu Yunkuo spoke with a proud face, "Hmph, I’m surprised you’d admit it so readily. Out of respect for Master Wu today, I’ll give you the chance to see the world and won’t throw you out."

"But you better behave yourself here, everyone present is someone you can’t afford to offend!"

Upon seeing Chen Fan admit that he was not a cultivator, everyone looked down on him, categorizing him as a swindler, and instantly lost interest in him.

After the crowd continued to fawn over Elder Qi, Wu Tiangang looked puzzledly at Chen Fan, "Master Chen, why did you do this?"

Chen Fan replied with a smile, "I just don’t want to waste time."

Wu Tiangang said, "But Celestial Master Qi has profound Dao Practice and is indeed worth befriending. You should show your strength and let them see how formidable you are."

Chen Fan said with a playful smile, "That’s just what you think."

"In my eyes, this Celestial Master Qi is worthless!"
