Chapter 443: Chapter 443: Elder Qiao’s Accident Chapter 443: Chapter 443: Elder Qiao’s Accident After leaving the holiday village, Lin Dong went downtown.
He went straight to the Needle King.
In Jianghai, the Needle King was also a famous doctor who owned a Chinese medicine shop called ‘Needle King Hall.’
The Needle King was usually in the shop for consultations.
And today, not only was the Needle King present, but the Medicine King from Southern Capital was also there.
Unlike others who left Jianghai immediately after the birthday banquet yesterday, the Medicine King decided to stay at the Needle King’s place for a few days before leaving.
At the same time, he had something to request of Lin Dong.
After Lin Dong arrived, the Medicine King and the Needle King both came forward to greet him.
“Leader, we were just thinking of coming to see you today. We didn’t expect you to visit my Needle King Hall,” said the Needle King with a smile upon seeing Lin Dong.
“Oh? Senior Needle King, what did you want to see me about?” Lin Dong asked.
“Well, leader, didn’t you previously take my granddaughter Qingdai as your apprentice? Could you let her follow you?” the Needle King hastily said.
The Medicine King interjected from the side, “And my grandson, Ling You.”
Zhuge Ling You had accompanied his grandpa from Southern Capital to Jianghai yesterday and was still here.
He and Li Qingdai were both standing aside, looking at Lin Dong with hopeful expressions.
Lin Dong patted his forehead, slightly embarrassed:
“I’m so sorry, I almost forgot about this. Okay, have the two of them follow me from now on.”
Upon hearing this, Li Qingdai and Zhuge Ling You were delighted.
The two hurriedly stood behind Lin Dong, presumably prepared to follow him wherever he went henceforth.
Having agreed to this, Lin Dong then informed the Needle King of his intention for this visit.
He had come to the Needle King Hall this time to purchase some herbs.
These herbs were for setting up a Gathering Spirit Formation at the villa in the holiday village.
Lin Dong wrote down the herbs he needed, and the Needle King quickly instructed someone to prepare them.
About half an hour later, the herbs Lin Dong needed were all ready, in a large snake skin bag.
Lin Dong wanted to pay, but the Needle King waved him off with a smile, “Leader, you are belittling me. I cannot accept this money.”
The herbs together were worth several hundred thousand.
However, such an amount was trivial for someone like the Needle King.
Insisting on not taking the money, Lin Dong didn’t pressure him further.
He then left with the herbs and headed back to the villa at the holiday village.
However, when he returned, there were two more people with him, naturally Zhuge Ling You and Li Qingdai.
Li Qingdai drove a car from the Needle King Hall, becoming Lin Dong’s driver.
As for Zhuge Ling You, he helped carry the Chinese medicine.
Both of them seemed to regard themselves truly as Lin Dong’s apprentices, eagerly taking on these laborious tasks.
If outsiders saw this scene, they would likely be extremely surprised.
Soon, the three of them returned to the villa, and Lin Dong began to set up the Gathering Spirit Formation with the herbs.
Li Qingdai and Zhuge Ling You both looked at each other, unable to understand what Lin Dong was doing.
It wasn’t until the afternoon that Lin Dong completed the Gathering Spirit Formation.
At that moment, spiritual energy from all directions converged towards the center, reaching a peak of intensity. The dense spiritual energy made Li Qingdai and Zhuge Ling You feel refreshed and lively.
“Why does the air here feel better than elsewhere!” muttered Li Qingdai.
Zhuge Ling You, also a martial artist, exclaimed in surprise, “If I cultivate martial arts here, I’ll make twice the progress with half the effort!”
Both instinctively looked towards Lin Dong, then at each other, both seeing surprise in the other’s eyes.
They were not foolish and immediately understood the reason.
“Master is truly a divine being, managing to gather Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi!” Both were shocked and felt fortunate.
Feeling that becoming apprentices to Lin Dong was the best decision of their lives, they immediately began to cultivate without any hesitation.
In the afternoon, Lin Dong also had the Zhou Shi Clan send over the necessary herbs.
These were the herbs required for the Replenishing Yuan Pill recipe. He planted them here to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.
When he was able to refine the Replenishing Yuan Pill in the future, using these enriched herbs would make the pills more effective.
“I’ll give you two a small task for now, to take care of these herbs for me!”
The two quickly nodded.
“Yes!”
After finishing all this, Lin Dong stretched.
He then began to cultivate inside the villa.
However, about two hours into his cultivation, Lin Dong suddenly received a phone call.
The call was from Sister Bing.
Lin Dong was somewhat surprised; Sister Bing rarely called him for personal matters during work unless there was an issue.
Could there be a problem at the hospital?
He hurriedly picked up.
“What’s wrong, Sister Bing? Is there a problem at the hospital?” Lin Dong asked as soon as the call connected.
On the other end of the phone, Sister Bing sounded anxious: “It’s not the hospital, it’s my grandfather. He’s been in a car accident. Hurry to the hospital’s emergency department.”
Hearing this made Lin Dong’s face change drastically.
Then he quickly said to Li Qingdai:
“Quick, drive me to the hospital now!”
