"They are the only two sects that live off studying medicine and alchemy, then what about the other one?" Xu Hao asked, and since Ruyue didn't know why those people had disappeared, he didn't pursue the matter further.
"The Divine Elixir Pavilion."
When Ruyue mentioned "The Divine Elixir Pavilion," her voice was noticeably lower, "Valley of the Medicine King and the Divine Elixir Pavilion and the like rarely make a show in public; only a handful of outsiders are aware of them.
However, the disciples of the Valley of the Medicine King and the Divine Elixir Pavilion come forth to heal and save people, and some renowned Divine Doctors in the secular world might just be their disciples. On one hand, these people benefit the common people, and on the other hand, it is also to hone their Medical Path. A doctor's benevolent heart, without such a heart, it's difficult to make significant breakthroughs in the Medical Path."
Xu Hao understood. His own legacy was deeply involved with the martial arts, medical practice, the Tao of Talismans, and even the Path of Artifact Refining, but after hundreds of years of development, the power structures of sects and clans must have greatly changed, and it was impossible for him to be aware of these changes.
While they were talking, Lei Qianjue, the Southwest Medicine King, arrived at the door. Thiscopywasgeneratedfromcontentat*.
But he didn't walk right in; instead, he slightly bowed and made a "please" gesture.
Following that, an old man with white hair yet brimming with vitality walked in slowly.
Many immediately regarded him with eyes full of respect, and quite a few elders were even moved to tears.
Anna couldn't help but ask, "Why are they so moved that they're nearly crying?"
Ruyue whispered, "Elder Xie, the teacher of Medicine King Lei, is nearly a hundred years old. About fifty or sixty years ago, Huaya had a great famine, and diseases and pests followed one after another. Elder Xie and others from the Valley of the Medicine King and the Divine Elixir Pavilion appeared, healing and saving people. Those elders shedding tears of joy are probably all people who received his kindness back then."
As expected, those elders stepped forward to Elder Xie, bowing one after another, with words full of gratitude.
Elder Xie waved his hand lightly, stroked his snowy beard, and said with a smile, "Let the past be the past; no need to bring it up again. Seeing that the people from back then are still alive makes this old man very happy."
All of the elders were over half a century old, yet Elder Xie referring to himself as 'this old man' in front of a group of elders didn't feel out of place at all.
The elders thanked him one by one, and then Tu Yilong stepped forward, cupping his hands in a salute, "Dangshan Tu Family, the thirty-ninth generation, Tu Yilong, has seen Elder Xie."
Elder Xie looked at Tu Yilong, still smiling, "Forty years ago, I met your grandfather once. Now it seems you have almost fully inherited the Tu family's legacy; at such a young age, Early Stage Grandmaster level, not bad, not bad at all!"
Receiving praise from Elder Xie, even Tu Yilong felt greatly honored.
Their relationship with Valley of the Medicine King was only average, after all, one was in the north of Tiannan Province, and the other in the south, almost spanning an entire province's distance. On ordinary days, if it wasn't necessary, they wouldn't have any contact.
But if tonight he made a good relationship with Elder Xie, Tu Yilong knew very well, his family would definitely reward him handsomely!
Moreover, his own status might also surpass that of his second brother and come close to his eldest brother!
Although the overall strength of Valley of the Medicine King wasn't considered supremely powerful, they had intricate relationships with many major forces. Moreover, they basically kept out of worldly strife, so no power would target a group like Valley of the Medicine King.
Because even the mightiest would not threaten their own status.
At this moment, Lei Qianjue laughed, "Master, the godfather I recognized outside, he is even younger than this kid Tu Yilong!"
"Haha, you lad found another junior brother for me, I haven't settled the score with you yet for that. I heard that little fellow is also grandmaster-level strength at a young age? Let him come and meet me; if his strength isn't up to par, this old man won't acknowledge this junior brother." Although Elder Xie was scolding, he clearly wasn't angry and was instead quite interested in the junior brother Lei Qianjue had found for him.
Lei Qianjue hurriedly looked toward Xu Hao's direction, just about to walk over and invite Xu Hao to come over, but Xu Hao actually came over by himself, with Chen Suyi and the two other ladies following close behind.
Xu Hao stepped up to Elder Xie and cupped his hands, "Xu Hao has seen Elder Xie."
The three ladies also curtsied, each offering a respectful greeting.
Facing an elderly man who was nearly a hundred years old, all three ladies were obviously a bit nervous; this was someone of an Immortal level, after all.
Xie Yupei looked Xu Hao up and down, then turned to Lei Qianjue and said, "Is this the junior brother you found for me?"
Before Lei Qianjue could speak, Tu Yilong immediately said coldly, "Elder Xie, how is that possible? Xu Hao is only about as strong as I am. How could he possibly be the master of Medicine King Lei? Plus, Xu Hao is just over twenty years old, and Medicine King Lei has already passed the seventies. With such a great difference in age, if you said they were close friends despite their age, I might believe that, but they definitely can't have a master-disciple relationship!"
Tu Yilong refused to believe a hundred times over that Xu Hao could be Lei Qianjue's master—it simply was impossible!
