Li Chenggong saw Master Xing Yi's amazement and laughed, "When I first heard this news, I was just as amazed as you are now, until Medicine King Lei personally admitted it, then I believed that Medicine King Lei really is Xu Xiao You's named disciple! I later asked why, and it turned out that Medicine King Lei was impressed by Xu Xiao You's medical skills and took him as a master on the spot."
Master Xing Yi was once again taken aback, "Xu Xiao You, your medical skills are even above those of Medicine King Lei?"
Xu Hao smiled and said, "Just luck."
"Xu Xiao You, you can be modest in other aspects, but in terms of medical skills, you absolutely must not be humble. Your medical skills not only surpass Medicine King Lei's—they are purely divine!"
Suddenly, Master Xing Yi turned his gaze to Li Lingniu and said in surprise, "Something's off, this young lady hardly ever goes out. Why is she out and about today? Her hair, it seems to have some gray in it. Did she dye it? No, she has always been reluctant to dye her hair, even resistant to it. Could it be...?"
He obviously knew quite a bit about Li Lingniu's condition and within a few seconds, he had deduced the true situation.
Li Chenggong smiled and said, "That's right, Xu Xiao You's medical skills are marvelous; he's nearly cured my daughter's albinism."
"Albinism is a genetic disease, how can it be cured? It has baffled the medical community around the world for who knows how many years, and since Mendel discovered the laws of genetics, people have understood that albinism is incurable!"
Master Xing Yi, who evidently knew a great deal about Western medicine, blurted out, "Mr. Li, you're not pulling my leg, are you? Xu Xiao You's feng shui abilities and martial arts strength, I highly admire, but you say his medical prowess is exceptional too, and has even solved a problem that has perplexed countless experts for hundreds of years, that I find hard to believe."
"What benefit would I have in deceiving you? Xu Xiao You's miraculous abilities have truly refreshed my understanding of human capability. If we didn't know any better, who would believe he's just a twenty-something young man?"
Li Chenggong shot a glance at Master Xing Yi and then turned to Xu Hao with a smile, "Xu Xiao You, today I request you as my master, seeking your advice on matters of feng shui mystery, and if you have any Internal Techniques for cultivation that you can teach me in the future, I would also like to learn."
Xu Hao immediately understood that while Li Chenggong wished to learn feng shui mystery, his greater desire was for prolonged life!
But it was normal for someone of his age to have a strong desire to live a few more years.
Suddenly, Master Xing Yi spoke up, "Xu Xiao You, I won't hide the fact that your analysis of feng shui earlier also astonished me, especially your knowledge of formations which far exceeds mine. Feng shui and formations are inherently linked; therefore, I also wish to take you as my master to learn more about the arts of feng shui and formations."

Jiang Xuezhun and the others were stunned. What was happening today?
Li Chenggong was a rich businessman with little knowledge of mystery, wanting to learn from Xu Hao was somewhat understandable.
But Master Xing Yi was a renowned feng shui master from Hongkong, whose strength and fame were almost unrivaled. Why would he need to take someone at least fifty years his junior as his master?
If others knew of this, how could they believe it?
Xu Hao felt somewhat speechless inside. Why did these old men all like to take masters?
He gently declined, "Elder Master Li, Master Xing Yi, you are both of such an age, to take me as your master would be somewhat inappropriate. If there's anything you want to know in the future, just ask me, but let's forget about the matter of taking me as your master."
Master Xing Yi immediately said, "Do you feel we're not qualified to be your disciples? Why can Lei Qianjue that old man become your disciple and not I?"
Li Chenggong pretended to be angry as well, "Right, Medicine King Lei can be your named disciple, why can't we two old fellows be? We don't ask for much, just to be named disciples."
Just then, Li Lingniu spoke up, "Dad, if you take Brother Xu as your master, but Brother Xu is also my master, wouldn't our generational hierarchy be all mixed up?"
Li Chenggong said nonchalantly, "Each to their own, there's no mix-up in the hierarchy."
Seeing the two elders so stubbornly insisting, Xu Hao chuckled and said, "Well, then, I will just this once assume the honor and accept both of you as named disciples."
Both elders laughed heartily. Others might think that at their age, it was disgraceful to take Xu Hao as their master.
But they did not see it that way. Xu Hao was powerful, humble, knew many things, and had exactly what they needed the most. To take Xu Hao as a master, what was so improper about it?
Master Xing Yi and Li Chenggong performed the ritual to become disciples and then said, "Master, the Reverse Heaven Eight Trigrams array here is terribly evil, it goes against the natural order of the Heavenly Sterns, and I don't know who set it up. If I find out who it is, I will not let them off lightly!"
Xu Hao nodded and said, "Right, I will also investigate this matter. Once I have results, I'll let you know."
