Along the way, every time he took a step, he felt the movement of the ring very carefully.
But to his great disappointment, the ring didn’t respond in any way.
He murmured in his heart: “The last time it reacted was on the way out. Could it be that this thing still recognizes the direction?”
Thinking of this, he turned around again and walked the opposite way along the way he came the last time.
But until he walked outside the gate of the school, the ring still didn’t respond.
Charlie couldn’t help feeling a little annoyed, and thought to himself: “Didn’t you dance here last time? Why didn’t you dance this time?”
“Did you fall asleep or didn’t feel it? Otherwise, I’ll take you to Tomson’s underground garage!”
The ring didn’t give him any response, so in desperation, he could only go back to the parking lot, ready to get in the car and leave, and then return to the underground parking lot of Tomson high-rise to try his luck.
As soon as he drove the car out of the parking lot, his cell phone rang suddenly.
He picked it up and looked surprised, because the person who made the call turned out to be Tianqi’s granddaughter, Zhovia.
Charlie has not seen this grandparent and grandson for a long time. He knows that Tianqi opened a medical clinic in Aurous Hill, where he and Zhovia hung pots to help the world, but because there are many things recently, he has not visited them over.
Moreover, the grandparents and grandchildren rarely disturbed themselves, presumably because the medical clinic was busy, and they didn’t want to affect themselves too much, so they didn’t take the initiative to contact them.
So now that Zhovia suddenly called him, Charlie’s first thought was whether she and Grandpa Tianqi were in some trouble.
So, he immediately connected to the phone and said, “Zhovia, you haven’t called me for a few days.”
Zhovia said with a sad voice: “Master Wade… I am calling you to bid farewell…”
“Farewell?” Charlie frowned, and asked her: “What’s the matter? Did you encounter any trouble with Doctor Shi?”
“Not like that…” Zhovia sighed and said quietly: “It’s my grandfather who is going to close the clinic and go back to Eastcliff…”
“Back to Eastcliff?” Charlie asked her subconsciously: “I remember that Doctor Shi said that he will settle down in Aurous Hill from now on.”
“You have only been here for more than a year, why do you want to leave suddenly?”
Zhovia said vaguely: “This… how should I put it, it is also Grandpa’s own decision, and there is nothing I can do…”
“He has already put the hospital’s signboard down, and he is thinking of leaving tomorrow.”
“Originally, he didn’t plan to tell you, because he felt ashamed to say goodbye to you, and wanted to call you to apologize after he left…but…but…”
As Zhovia was speaking, she suddenly sobbed softly, choked up, and said, “But I couldn’t bear to leave Aurous Hill and Master Wade…”
“That’s why I called, and I want you to persuade Grandpa again…”
Charlie said without hesitation “Don’t cry, Zhovia, tell me where you are now?”
“Still in the hospital…” Zhovia choked up and said, “Grandpa plans to tidy up everything tonight.”
“Okay!” Charlie immediately said: “You wait for me there, I’ll come there now!”
When Charlie drove to Tianqi’s clinic, the plaque of the clinic had already been taken off and was casually discarded aside.
At the same time, there was a plaque wrapped in red silk and satin at the door, and it was impossible to see what was written on the plaque for a moment.
When Charlie came to the clinic, Tianqi, Zhovia, and a boy were packing up all kinds of medicinal materials on the medicine cabinet.
Seeing Charlie come in, Zhovia shouted excitedly: “Master Wade!”
After finishing speaking, she ran towards him, threw herself into Charlie’s arms, and began to cry.
Charlie quickly asked her: “Zhovia, what’s the matter? Tell me all.”
Tianqi also saw Charlie’s expression at this time, he was startled, then staggered over with shame on his face, and sighed:
“Master Wade… why are you here? Did this girl tell you something?”
Zhovia cried and said, “Grandpa, I don’t want to leave Aurous Hill, so I wanted to ask Master Wade to persuade you…”
Tianqi With a long sigh: “Hey! I would like to gamble and admit defeat. Since I lost, how can I continue to stay here…”
Zhovia cried stubbornly: “But losing is only losing clinic! The big deal is that you gave the clinic to him, we don’t need to leave Aurous Hill because of this!”
Tianqi asked her back: “My bet with him is that if I lose, I will hand over the clinic to him. the clinic is gone, so what else do I have in Aurous Hill to stay back for?”
Zhovia cried and said, “But I just don’t want to leave Aurous Hill… I haven’t learned the real Sanyang acupuncture from Master Wade, so I don’t want to go…”
On that day, the old man of the Song family was seriously ill, and Tianqi took her with him. Zhovia came to the rescue but happened to meet Charlie on a narrow road.
At that time, she was dissatisfied with Charlie, but after seeing Charlie use the real “Sanyang Acupuncture”, he immediately cast his admiration on him.
Although the Sanyang acupuncture method is a medical skill handed down by the Shi family’s ancestors,
What the Shi family’s ancestors learned is only superficial.
The real Sanyang acupuncture method is much more powerful than the acupuncture method handed down by the Shi family.
Zhovia also knew that many of the top Chinese medical skills had been secrets that had not been handed down over the years,
So she never expected that Charlie could teach her. Today, she said so suddenly, but she just wanted to find an excuse to stay in Aurous Hill.
Charlie asked in surprise at this time: “Master Shi, what did you lose clinic?”
Tianqi said with a face of shame: “Master Wade… is really inferior to others in his skills. If you lose, you won’t have the face to mention it to you…”
Zhovia blurted out, “It’s an old man who came two days ago! He was going to have a medical competition with grandpa when he came, and he said that if he wins, he would ask grandpa to take off the plaque of the clinic,”
“Give him this place to run the medical center, and say that if he loses, he will give grandpa an ancestral medicine cauldron… Grandpa didn’t know what to think, so he promised him…”
Charlie said curiously: “Doctor Shi, it sounds like the other party is obviously setting up a trap for you. With your style of acting, you shouldn’t be fooled like this!”
Tianqi’s old face struggled awkwardly for a long while before lamenting: “Master Wade, I’m telling you the truth!”
“I was deluded by a ghost. Seeing his medicine cauldron as really a good thing.”
“I thought I usually refine a lot of medicine. If I could win that medicine cauldron it would have surely relieved some of the burden in refining medicine in the future,”
“But I never thought that I would mess it up, I am really ashamed!”
Charlie didn’t expect that the reason Tianqi wanted to leave Aurous Hill was that he lost a bet on his Clinic.
What’s more, he didn’t expect that the reason why this old man bet with others was to win a medicine cauldron for himself.
He asked with some doubt: “Dr. Shi, who made the bet with you?”
“I don’t know.” Tianqi replied: “That man is quite crazy, he said his surname is Hong, and he is called Milo Hong.”
“Milo?” Charlie frowned when he heard these two words.
After Sara sent Grandpa the Blood Dispersing and Heart Saving Pill, he once heard her mention this name.
According to her, this person is a very senior Taoist priest in the American Chinese circle,
Known as Milo, who is very close to his grandmother, and at that time, his grandfather was critically ill, so he made a special trip to treat the old man.
After seeing the efficacy of the Pill, this person wanted to find the person who made the pill. After hearing from his uncle Marshal that there was a Rejuvenation Pill in Aurous Hill, he immediately decided to come to Aurous Hill to look for it.
Sara specifically reminded him at that time that he should be careful of this Milo in the future, but he was still in the United States at the time, so he didn’t take this person seriously.
But now it seems that this person has indeed come to Aurous Hill, and has found someone close to him.
He made a bet with Tianqi. He didn’t know whether he simply fell in love with Tianqi’s Clinic, or he had found out a clue, so he especially found an entry point from Tianqi.
However, Charlie wasn’t nervous at all. In his opinion, a person who can be shocked by the Blood Dispersing and Heart Saving Pill has no great ability to judge him. Just can take him to the dog farm.
The reason why Charlie is so overbearing is not blind confidence, but some small details of the other party have penetrated his bottom.
If a person is horrified when he sees a Rolls-Royce, then the person’s social status probably cannot afford a Rolls-Royce.
People who can really afford Rolls-Royce, even if they don’t have Rolls-Royce, don’t think Rolls-Royce is unattainable.
So, he asked Tianqi: “Master Shi, what have you compared with him?”
Tianqi sighed, “He wants to compare my pulse with mine, and he wants to randomly choose a female patient who has given birth for a test. There are three points in total.”
“The first point is to indicate the actual age of the other party, whoever is closest to the actual age will win; the second point is to indicate the other party’s menstrual date, and whoever is closest to the actual date will win; the third point is Number the number of pregnancies of the other party, and whoever is closest to the actual number will win… There are three rounds in total, and the two winners of the three rounds will win in the end…”
Charlie couldn’t help but said awkwardly: “Doctor Shi, let me make a digression, Is it not inappropriate for you two doctors to guess the menstruation and pregnancy times of female patients?”
Tianqi hastily explained: “Master Wade, you don’t know, these have always been the content of ancient imperial doctors’ competitions, although it sounds a little indecent, but in fact, because women have many more physiological stages than men, gynecology can best reflect the ability of a doctor to call the pulse.”
“A doctor at a higher level can guess the date of delivery of a pregnant woman through the pulse signal, and a doctor at a higher level can even tell how many times the other party has been pregnant and how many babies have been born of her.”
“It is said that there are top imperial doctors who could even judge the s3x of the fetus through the pulse, but this kind of person had only been seen in ancient books.”
“Okay.” Charlie sighed helplessly, and asked him: “Two out of three games, how many games did you lose?”
Tianqi lowered his head and said in shame: “Mr. Wade, this old man lost three rounds…”
Charlie couldn’t help frowning: “The other party is just a Taoist priest. As far as I know, his research is often on alchemy. You’re really lost three rounds to him?”
Tianqi buried his head even lower, and said, “I don’t know why this Taoist priest’s medical skills are so outstanding, but I’m really inferior to others…”
Charlie asked again: “How did you choose the subject of the competition? Is there a possibility that this person arranged for a patient to come over in advance, and then came to the door to challenge you, proposed the method of the competition, and then won it?”
“This…” Tianqi pondered for a moment, and murmured: “I have no evidence to prove it, but I don’t rule out the possibility.”
Then, Tianqi said seriously: “However, Master Wade, Taoists always pay attention to cultivating your mind and cultivating your character, then Milo shouldn’t be so shameless, right?”
Charlie smiled meaningfully, and said casually: “If you are really a person who cultivates mind and character, why would you come here to bet with others?”
“Like the monks in the temple and the priests in the church, if they hang out with those dignitaries all day long and smell like copper, how can they really cultivate their minds?”
Charlie said this because according to what Sara said it is said that Milo has a lot of friendship with his grandmother.
In Charlie’s view, the first thing a person with true faith must do is to be indifferent to fame and fortune. If he spends all his energy on making friends with powerful people, how can his heart be pure?
Naturally, this Milo is also the same.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is absolutely impossible for a person like him to make friends with top dignitaries like his grandmother.
If he didn’t have to spend decades carefully managing himself, promoting himself, and packaging himself, how could he be in the eyes of grandma?
It can also be seen from this that this person’s utilitarianism must be very heavy.
Is there anything unusual for a person with a very utilitarian mind to do some tricks while betting?
Zhovia also suddenly realized this time, and blurted out: “Master Wade, you are right! I think that person is very shrewd!”
“His words were also very provocative. At that time, he just said a few words in front of those patients. Grandpa was made very difficult by him.”
“If he didn’t agree to him at the time, he wouldn’t be able to step down at all! So you said that it is possible for him to insert fake patients in advance, I think it is really possible!”
Tianqi sighed at this time: “It’s too late to say this now. At that time, there were so many patients who saw me lose to him on the spot. My name and my reputation would have been washed at that time in the whole city. And even if I know that he was cheating, there is no way to recover it.”
Charlie smiled slightly: “That’s not necessarily the case.”
After that, he remembered something, and asked Tianqi: “By the way, Doctor Shi, you said that he has an ancestral medicine cauldron, what kind of medicine cauldron is it?”
Tianqi said hastily: “It is a cauldron for Taoist alchemy, the whole is about the size of a football, it looks like it should be made of copper, and the shape of the vessel is three-legged.”
“With cupolas and a matching lid, the entire surface of the cauldron has dragon patterns made of filigree, which looks very exquisite in workmanship. According to him, it was handed down by his ancestors and specially used for refining elixir.”
Charlie raised his eyebrows with great interest, and said with a smile: “Maybe this thing is really a good thing for alchemy.”
After that, he asked Tianqi: “Did that man say when he will come?”
Tianqi hurriedly said: “He said that he would come on time at eight o’clock tomorrow morning to hang up the plaque he left at the door.”
Charlie remembered the plaque covered with red satin at the door, smiled slightly, and walked outside the door.
Standing still in front of the plaque, Charlie unceremoniously stretched out his hand and tore off the red satin on it, revealing three gold-plated characters: Milo’s Clinic.
Charlie snorted, then pulled the ladder from the side over, picked up the Tianqi’s Clinic plaque that had been taken off with one hand, and hung the plaque back again.
Tianqi said nervously: “Master Wade, you can’t do it… If you hang up this plaque, wouldn’t this old man become that old man who is willing to gamble but refuses to admit defeat…” Charlie said with a smile:
“It’s okay, The plaque is hung to let him know that something has changed in this matter, and he will definitely rush over to deal with it, and I will come to meet him when the time comes!”
Charlie knew that Milo came here for Rejuvenation Pill this time, since he has found Tianqi now, no matter whether he knows his identity or not, he can’t let him continue to stay like this in Aurous Hill.
Therefore, the best way right now is to take the initiative.
However, Charlie also thought about one thing, that is, since Milo was familiar with his grandmother, would he have met his parents as well?
If he had seen them, he might be able to guess his identity based on the similarity between his appearance and his father’s.
Charlie’s plan was that if Milo questioned his identity, he would not stop doing anything and directly detain him.
Immediately, he said to Tianqi: “Doctor Shi, you and Zhovia go home first, don’t worry about it here, I will come here on time tomorrow morning!”
“Master, this old man will come back tomorrow morning!”
Charlie waved lightly at Zhovia, called her to his side, and whispered something in her ear.
Zhovia immediately nodded without hesitation and said: “Okay Master Wade, I will definitely take care of it!”
Charlie nodded and comforted: “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you solve this matter, no matter what, I won’t let the signboard of Tianqi’s Clinic be removed!”
…
The next day.
Charlie came to Tianqi’s Clinic at seven o’clock in the morning.
At this time, the clinic had already hung a notice that it was closed today, and the plaque of Tianqi’s Clinic was still hanging on the main entrance, while the plaque of Milo’s Clinic was still put aside.
Tianqi changed into a long gown early on and waited here nervously.
When he saw Charlie coming in, he rushed forward and said, “Master Wade, you are here!”
Charlie nodded and asked him, “Master Shi, Zhovia is here already?”
Tianqi hurriedly said: “Go back to Master Wade, she called me just now and said it’s time.”
“Okay.” Charlie nodded slightly, and then said with a smile: “Master Shi, go to the back and rest for a while, I will wait here for that Milo to come to the door!”
Tianqi hurriedly asked: “Master Wade, do you want me to be here waiting for him with you?”
“No need.” Charlie said lightly, “I will call you when I need you to come out.”
“Okay!” Tianqi nodded, cupped his hands to Charlie, and said respectfully: “Master Wade, this old man is waiting for your call!”
After finishing speaking, Tianqi turned and went to the lounge behind the clinic.
Charlie got up and brought the plaque of Milo’s Clinic over, spread it directly in front of the chair, and then sat back on the chair, stepping on the plaque of Milo’s Clinic naturally.
Soon, a tall and thin old man with a long beard walked to the gate aggressively.
This person is Milo Hong who flew thousands of miles from the United States to Aurous Hill to search for clues to the Rejuvenation Pill.
At this moment, he saw that the plaque of Tianqi’s Clinic was still hanging on the top, and his expression suddenly became displeased.
With his hands behind his back, he strode into the clinic with big strides. As soon as he entered, he said loudly:
“Tianqi?! You agreed to pack up your things and leave last night, and took off the plaque of Tianqi’s Clinic, why haven’t you picked it up?!”
Sitting on the chair, Charlie looked at Milo and saw that although there was no aura in this person’s body. But it has a bit of true energy and has reached the level of an eight-star warrior.
A Taoist priest can have the strength of an eight-star warrior, which really makes Charlie a little impressed.
At this moment, Milo saw that he had called out and no one answered him, so he couldn’t help feeling a little annoyed, and asked, “Where’s Tianqi?! Dare to keep the signboard of Tianqi’s Clinic, but hide and dare not meet me?!”
Charlie deliberately coughed twice at this time, stretched his waist and stood up, and said dissatisfiedly:
“What are you yelling so early in the morning? Is your brain squeezed by the door? If your brain is really squeezed by the door, you should call 120 and go to the emergency department in the hospital!”
Milo looked at Charlie who stood up suddenly, frowned, and asked, “Who are you?”
Charlie was still worried that he might have seen his father, so he deliberately asked: “Why, haven’t you seen me?”
Milo stared at Charlie, and asked in a cold tone: “Boy, I came here last time. Haven’t seen you before, are you a clerk here?”
Charlie shook his head and said with a smile: “There is no medical center that can afford me to be a clerk.”
Milo frowned with a pair of sword eyebrows, and spoke in a bad tone Said:
“Boy, I don’t want to talk nonsense with you, let Tianqi come out, it will be eight o’clock soon, and I will hang up the plaque of Milo’s Clinic!”
After that, he remembered something, and angrily said: “My plaque?! Where did it go?!”
Charlie pointed to the gilded plaque under his feet, which had been trampled off, and said with a smile, “You mean the one under my feet, right?”
The plaque of the Milo’s Clinic was actually stepped on the ground by Charlie, not only was it full of dust and shoe prints,
But even the gold paint was trampled off, the whole person suddenly became furious, pointed at Charlie, and shouted angrily:
“Boy! How dare you even step on my plaque, I think you are impatient!”
After saying that, he raised his fist and made a gesture of fighting.
Charlie curled his lips and said sarcastically: “Oh, you old man are so majestic, you will beat people when you break into this place early in the morning? Believe it or not, I will make you even pay for your lost pants?”
Milo sneered sarcastically: “Ignorant child, how dare you speak nonsense in front of me, if it is not for the Supreme Sanqing, I will definitely kill you!”
Charlie also sneered: “Oh, since you believe Supreme Sanqing, then you are a Taoist priest. If you don’t practice martial arts and Taoism in Taoist temples, what is there to do here?”
“You will kill people every now and then. What’s the difference between a priest who molested boys? Although I don’t believe in your family’s Supreme Sanqing! It’s really embarrassing for someone like you to come out of a thousand-year-old school!”
“You!” Milo is used to arrogance. Over the years, he has become a well-known master of Taoism by virtue of his ability to refine some low-level elixir that can enhance true energy.”
“Countless Taoists worship him, and many top rich Chinese also became his believers one after another and offered him a large amount of incense money. It can be said that he has like the existence of the stars.
But he never expected that a kid who seemed to have no real energy at all, and who didn’t even enter the martial arts school, would dare to talk nonsense in front of him, and belittle himself to nothing!
Furious, he gritted his teeth and said, “Boy, you are looking for death yourself, don’t blame me for being rude to you!”
After finishing speaking, the heavy fist swung at Charlie.
But Charlie was not afraid at all, let alone dodge, but looked at him provocatively, and said lightly:
“You fight, I will let you know what it means that a strong dragon can’t overwhelm a local snake,”
“Believe it or not with just one phone call from me, I can make you the most wanted target in Aurous Hill!”
As soon as Charlie said this, Milo’s expression suddenly became astonished!
Immediately afterward, he subconsciously stopped the fist he had swung.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of Charlie, but he understood the truth from Charlie’s words: “This kid must be a local snake in Aurous Hill.”
“Although I am not afraid of him, I am new here and I don’t have any connections. After beating him, the police will arrest me,”
“I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to stay in Aurous Hill, and in that case, I will delay my most important purpose of coming to Aurous Hill!”
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said secretly: “Forget it! If you can’t bear it, you will make a big conspiracy! Let this kid have his life today!”
At this point, Milo withdrew his fist, stared at Charlie, and said with tearing eyes: “Boy! Today is your fate, I don’t want to kill people here, otherwise, based on your disrespectful words to me just now,”
“I would have already sent you to see the Supreme Sanqing!”
Charlie spat, and continued to mock: “Your mouth is quite hard, it’s not that I look down on you, but fortunately you didn’t do anything!”
“Otherwise, I’ll punch you out on the spot! Then you could only hold your crotch and say that I didn’t respect you!”
“Fcuk you!”
At this moment, Milo almost gritted his teeth!
He didn’t expect that the kid in front of him was so cheap, so cheap that it made him want to kill him!
Obviously, he was the one who spared his dog’s life and let him go, but instead of acknowledging that,
He even said such disrespectful words to him, it was simply a ‘Transgression, which can’t be tolerated’!
However, the more Charlie angered him, the less he dared to fight him.
This is not true, he was afraid of Charlie, mainly because he was afraid of causing public security incidents here, or even criminal cases.
If that happens, the police will be involved. Although he is an eight-star martial artist, he would definitely not dare to confront the police in a metropolis like Aurous Hill.
In his opinion, it was very simple to kill Charlie by himself, just one punch could beat his brains apart.
However, how to end the fight has become very troublesome.
Once he became a wanted criminal in Aurous Hill, how could he find the whereabouts of Rejuvenation Pill with peace of mind here?!
Moreover, the reason why he wants Tianqi’s Clinic is that after many inquiries,
He learned that Tianqi of this Clinic is the most famous traditional doctor in Aurous Hill, and there are rumors that he once cured a paraplegic with a kind of magic medicine. It’s amazing.
At that moment, he realized that if this matter was true, then Tianqi probably had the same elixir as Sara.
However, he pretended to be a patient a few times before and came to try it out,
But he found that although Tianqi had good medical skills in traditional medicine, he was not proficient in the way of alchemy,
So it was impossible for him to refine the elixir that turned decay into magic.
So, he moved his crooked mind.
He wanted to use aggressive methods to force Tianqi to compete with himself in medical skills and then designed him to lose the clinic.
In this way, if there are capable people behind Tianqi, he might be able to attract capable people.
If Tianqi didn’t have a capable person behind him, then he would be famous in Aurous Hill if he beat him in medical skills and occupied his Clinic.
With fame, there is also the capital to quickly gain a foothold in Aurous Hill.
And he is very clear that whether it is medical skills or metaphysics, top talents in these two fields will become the objects of the pursuit of the rich and powerful.
Once he replaces Tianqi, he will inevitably become a highly sought-after genius doctor in the eyes of Aurous Hill’s dignitaries,
And this will also facilitate his quick integration into Aurous Hill’s upper-class society, and it will also be convenient for him to inquire about news.
It is precisely because of this that the clinic has become the first battle that he is determined to win in his eyes.
Although Charlie in front of him is arrogant, Milo doesn’t think Charlie will be the capable person behind Tianqi, but just regards him as a clown.
Right now, this jumping beam clown kept jumping in front of him, really annoyed, but he couldn’t hit him,
So he said with a dark face: “Boy, do you know that I have never had anyone in my life who dared to talk to me like that?”
Charlie curled his lips: “You husky stick a feather duster in your a55, pretend to be a fcuking wolf with a big tail,”
“If you want to pretend to be aggressive, go out to the police station across the road, don’t fcuking upset me here.”
“You!” Milo was furious again and raised his hand to hit him, but when he heard that the police station was on the opposite side,
He could only forcibly dispel his impulse, and with nowhere to vent his anger, he jumped around in place, gnashing his teeth and saying:
“Boy! Who the hell are you, and why do you humiliate this old man over and over again?!”
“In all fairness, even if you are not afraid of my strength, you have to show me some face when you look at my age!”
Charlie snorted and said, “You ran up to me like a wild dog in the morning and barked, and asked me to show your face, who the hell are you?”
After that, Charlie said again: “Come on, tell me what your last name is, why are you here and where are you going!”
“I…” Milo’s fists were crackling in anger, his body was shaking like a Parkinson’s patient, he gritted his teeth and said,
“My name is Mateo Hong! In North America, everyone calls me Milo!”
Charlie curled his lips, looked him up and down, and asked, “Just you, Milo?”
Mateo gritted his teeth and said, “That’s right! Milo Hong I am!”
Charlie smacked his lips and said, “Oh, everyone gave you the name Milo, you’re big man, you are a god, you are more powerful than me, so you are stronger than me?”
Mateo thought that Charlie was still deliberately mocking him, and said angrily “Boy, you are really eloquent!”
“But I’m not in the mood to talk nonsense with you now! I came here today to find Tianqi, where is he, let him come out and talk to me!”
As soon as the voice fell, Zhovia quickly came in.
As she ran, she said to Charlie: “Master Wade, I have done everything you asked me to do!”
Mateo looked at Zhovia, and immediately asked: “Girl! Where is your grandfather?! Why did he say yesterday?”
“He said he would like to admit defeat and will be a turtle today!”
Zhovia snorted: “Old sc0undrel, my grandfather is not a turtle! If you want to say a turtle, it has to be you! You are the one who is desperately sticking his head out to bite someone like a turtle!”
“You…” Mateo turned pale with anger when he thought of Zhovia’s description, and cursed angrily,
“Okay! If Tianqi doesn’t come out, I’ll take his plaque off myself!”
Charlie immediately stopped him:
“Wait! You old ba5tard are really stinky and shameless. What are you, you dare to come to other people’s clinics to pick up other people’s plaques? Are you a bandit?”
Mateo said coldly: “He, Tianqi, lost yesterday. He lost this Clinic to me, and he is willing to bet, does he want to break his promise?”
Charlie pouted and said, “Oh, you old ba5tard, I’m afraid you don’t understand the law? Such a medical clinic, even the decoration of the house, is still not worth it. If you say that others have lost millions to you, then you are gambling illegally!”
After finishing speaking, he immediately said to Zhovia: “Zhovia! Call the police at 110, and I want to see what the police say!”
Mateo became anxious, stomping his feet and saying, “You…you are obviously playing a sc0undrel!”
Charlie sneered and said: “I’m not playing a sc0undrel, you made the bet yourself! What’s more, I didn’t see how you bet, do you have any witnesses?”
Mateo said coldly: “Of course I have witnesses. Everyone who sees a doctor here is my witness! There is also a woman who volunteered to be our test object when I competed with Tianqi, and she can also prove it!”
Charlie asked again: “Then tell me what was this comparison?”
Mateo said arrogantly: “Compare the pulse! Determine the age of the other party in the first competition, and who can be accurate in the second competition…”
Charlie interrupted him without waiting for him to finish, and blurted out: “That’s enough, don’t talk about it, just talk about the first point, I’m curious, how did you set the rules for guessing the age of your pulse?”
Mateo said coldly: “The rule was that the two of us work together for that the woman takes her pulse, then writes down the date of birth on a piece of paper, and then asks the woman to take out her ID card to see whoever writes the date closest to the woman’s actual date of birth will win!”
Charlie nodding, he asked again: “What about the specific results of your date yesterday?”
Mateo immediately said loudly: “Yesterday, I found out that the woman was born on August 8, 1966, and Tianqi found out that the woman was born on March 3, 1967.”
“On August 1st, the date of birth on the woman’s ID card was August 15th, 1966! It was only a week away from the date I proposed!”
Charlie frowned and asked, “Are you so awesome? You assign a number to the other party’s birthday, and the error is only seven days?”
Mateo snorted and said, “Frog in the well, I can name a lot!”
Charlie curled his lips, stretched out his hand to him, and said, “Come on, you number mine.”
“Take a pulse, look at the year, month and day of my birthday! I can tell you in advance, if the error is more than seven days, be careful I will slap you in the face!”
Seeing that when Charlie threatened to slap him, he even stretched out his hand to gesture around his face,
Mateo really wanted to tear him into pieces, because he had never suffered such humiliation in his life.
However, when he thought that he still had important matters in Aurous Hill, and that he would go to the police station when he went out, even if there was a huge hatred in his heart, he could only suppress it desperately at this moment.
Seeing that his face was livid and his whole body was like a pressure cooker about to explode, Charlie sneered: “What’s the matter? Don’t you dare to give me the pulse? I see you old ba5tard, yesterday you cheated and won! Why don’t you dare give me my pulse now?”
Charlie originally suspected that this Mateo had set up a trick for Tianqi, but seeing that he turned out to be an eight-star warrior today, he confirmed his guess even more.
An eight-star martial artist must spend most of his time practicing martial arts every day. Even if such a person has the talent to become a top traditional doctor, he absolutely does not have the time and opportunity for this.
In this world, there are many top scientists who can win the Nobel Prize, and there are also art masters who can study a certain musical instrument or a certain painting to perfection, and there are also many athletes who can practice like sports to become world champions.
However, who has heard of a Nobel Prize winner who can also become the world’s top pianist and Olympic champion?
Human energy is always limited. Since Mateo is an eight-star martial artist, it is doomed that he does not have much time and energy to become a leader in other fields.
At this moment, seeing Charlie being aggressive all the time, Mateo felt a little nervous in his heart.
Although he is a Daoist celestial master, he can be considered a great figure, but for so many years, his main energy has been devoted to practicing martial arts, and his secondary energy has been used to study the refining of some low-level Daoist elixir, and he has not gone deep into it at all.
However, it’s not that he doesn’t know anything about medical skills. After all, the Taoist sect is good at medical skills, so he is still better than most traditional doctors with limited levels, but compared with Tianqi, a master of traditional medicine, there is still a big gap.
When he fell in love with Tianqi’s clinic, and at the same time wanted to occupy the magpie’s nest and step on Tianqi to quickly gain a foothold in Aurous Hill, he thought of digging a hole for Tianqi.
It is precisely because his own medical skills are not as good as Tianqi’s, so he deliberately found a few nurses, and then took the opportunity to compete with Tianqi in medical skills.
All the female patients who came to see the doctor yesterday were arranged by him. As long as Tianqi agreed In the competition with him, no matter who Tianqi chooses to be the benchmark of the competition, he was doomed to lose.
But at that time, he had been leading Tianqi by the nose, and using the witnesses on the scene to put pressure on him, he didn’t think about it at all.
But Charlie is not Tianqi.
Tianqi may feel that everything is fine because he chose the benchmark for the competition from a few patients.
But Charlie felt that this sounded a little tricky.
Seeing that Mateo still didn’t speak, he frowned and said, “Don’t you dare to compete? I think you are a liar! Before I call the police and arrest you, get out as far as you can!”
Mateo gritted his teeth and said, “Who Say I don’t dare? It’s just that you are Tianqi’s person, and you are all in the same boat, what’s the point of me giving you the pulse? Even if I guess correctly, you will say that I didn’t guess correctly!”
Charlie smiled and directly revealed his identity he took out his ID card, put it on the table backwards, and withheld his name and date of birth, and said lightly:
“Come on, my ID card is here, you give me a pulse, as long as the date of birth you give out is the same as my date of birth.”
“If the error of the ID card is within seven days, I will count you as the winner.”
Mateo suddenly became nervous. Things like age itself are not that simple.
Yesterday, he was afraid that Tianqi would have the ability to determine the age of the other party, so before he asked them to act, he found the person who issued the fake certificate in advance,
Gave them fake IDs, and deliberately deviated the birthday from the actual age by a year or two,
For double insurance, not only let Mateo know the answer in advance, but also confuse the real answer, so that even if Tianqi is very capable, the age on the number cannot match the age on the ID card.
So now that Charlie suddenly launched an attack, how could he dare to fight casually?
So, he said in a cold voice: “Hmph! What is an ID card? ID cards can also be faked. In case you make a fake ID card to deceive me and change the date of birth, you will be as old as I am! It’s impossible to guess the age on your ID card, so you won’t lose?”
After hearing his question, Charlie asked curiously: “It seems that you don’t like this kind of junior? What a shame! Could it be that you just relied on this kind of little trick to win Doctor Shi?”
Mateo immediately denied it: “Of course, I didn’t! I won over Tianqi because of my real ability! I just thought, you kid don’t look like a good person at first glance, you probably designed to cheat me on purpose!”
Charlie nodded: “You are afraid that I will collude with Doctor Shi to cheat you, right?”
Mateo immediately said: “That’s right!”
“Okay !” Charlie smiled slightly, and said to Zhovia: “Zhovia, invite all the people I asked you to invite in!”
Zhovia quickly said: “Okay, Master Wade!”
After finishing speaking, she immediately ran out and waved. Soon, a dozen or so women of different ages were brought in from outside,
Some of whom looked to be in their early twenties and some who looked at least sixty or seventy years old.
After these people came in, they all stood in a row. Charlie looked at the dumbfounded Mateo, and said with a smile,
“Come on, Milo, these ladies are all hired by me from our Aurous Hill labor market early in the morning.”
They are all casual workers who came here, you come and take their pulses to see if you can guess their ages correctly, or the rule I just said, your error cannot be greater than seven days.”
Mateo was very flustered in his heart, but he deliberately sarcastically said: “How do I know if these people are your new babysitters?!
“And I was afraid that you would say that you are a master of gynecology and can only tell women’s pulse, so I asked Zhovia to invite all women.”
Then, Charlie said: “Of course, the most important thing is you regarding the issue of childcare, I asked Zhovia to take them with them early, and they all went to the police station to issue birth date certificates, and they all affixed the official seal of the police station to ensure that the birth date certificates issued by the police station were consistent with their birth date on their ID cards.”
“If you still lie to me and say that you are the babysitter I found, then I will directly invite the police to come over to be a witness!”
Speaking of this, Charlie simply shook his hands: “Forget it, if you think this is not enough, then I will Just call a friend to introduce the people in the notary office, and then contact the people in the TV media, let them come to witness together,”
“And then we will go to the street to randomly select testers under their witness. Choose the head office? If you can really control everyone’s age difference within seven days, when the TV station reports it, your reputation will be even higher. Not only can you promote our traditional medicine, but you can also apply for a new Guinness World Record!”
After speaking, Charlie looked at Mateo and said with a smile, “Look, I have a lot of ways to make you famous.”
When Mateo heard this, his whole body was struck by lightning.
He never dreamed that the kid in front of him would be so smart! This is almost blocking all of his roads! Moreover, he also wanted to find the media. He was also a famous figure in North America. If he lost face in front of the media, wouldn’t his wisdom be ruined?!
For a while, Mateo was confused, not knowing what to do.
Charlie asked in a cold voice: “What? Don’t you dare? Aren’t you very powerful? You’ve already called yourself a master of heaven, and you’re scared of such a trivial matter?”
Mateo said with a dark face: “Boy, how could I, Mateo, be scared?”
After that, he changed the subject, sneered arrogantly, and said: “The old man was almost led by you brat! Yesterday, Tianqi voluntarily competed with me, and he was willing to bet and admit defeat.”
“Logically speaking, he should hand over this Clinic to the old man! But now he is hiding like a turtle, not daring to see anyone.”
“Isn’t it just to renege on a slick kid like you to spout nonsense here?”
“What’s more, I already won after getting out of Clinic, why do you want to bet with me again? What are you betting with me for?”
Charlie said with a smile: “Old guy, one of us wants to keep pace, but I don’t care about you, I have secretly captured the entire process just now with a camera. Don’t you just dare not take on the challenge? It doesn’t matter, I will post these videos online immediately, especially on overseas networks!”
“Just a Clinic, the investment is only a few million, so what if I give it to you? As long as you are not afraid of being embarrassed, and not afraid of picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon, you can just take this Clinic.”
After finishing speaking, Charlie asked Zhovia again: “Zhovia, did I ask you to record the whole process?”
Zhovia nodded hurriedly and said, “Back to Master Wade, I have recorded it all!”
As she spoke, she took off the black leather bag that was slanted across her body, opened it, and opened it from the inside. She took out several action cameras and looked at the black leather bag. There were four or five circular holes all over the body, presumably, they were holes dug for the action camera lenses.
It’s just that the lens and purse are black, and Mateo’s attention has not been on Zhovia, so he didn’t notice it at all.
Only now did he realize that this kid had set up a three-headed trap for himself!
If he agrees to compete again, then these dozen or so women will definitely let him out, and the ages of the dozen or so people can’t be guessed correctly, which will indirectly prove that he cheated yesterday, and he will be ruined by then;
But if he doesn’t agree, then this kid will turn around and upload the video on the Internet, and he will also be ruined in that case too.
“The key is that I can’t kill and silence, so many people are watching, if I really kill and silence, I am afraid that I will be wanted by the whole country immediately. If I escape from China by myself, I am afraid that I will be wanted all over the world, and my reputation will also be ruined.”
Only then did Mateo realize how sinister the kid’s intentions were!
So, he thought carefully in his mind: “If I am tough with this kid, I can’t escape a ruinous end. Instead of doing this, I might as well shake hands with him and make peace. I don’t have any other losses…”
Thinking of this, Mateo pursed his lips, and said with a pretended magnanimity: “Forget it, I see that you are deliberately doing this, just to help Tianqi this clinic is here to stay,”
“I will be more magnanimous today, and this Clinic will be given back to Tianqi, I don’t want it anymore!”
After finishing speaking, he stroked his beard with one hand and his long gown, and put his hands behind his back, about to walk out with arrogant strides.
Charlie couldn’t let him fool him, he stood in front of him, and said sarcastically: “Don’t run away, old man, yesterday you designed to frame Doctor Shi, which has already affected his reputation in Aurous Hill, now you turn back can there be such a cheap thing?”
Mateo panicked and asked him: “Then what do you want!”
At this moment, Mateo regretted staring at Tianqi’s clinic!
He didn’t expect that this matter would put him in such a passive state earlier.
So now that he wants to raise his hand and surrender, the other party refuses to let him go.
Charlie looked at Mateo at this time and said with a smile: “I heard from Dr. Shi that you made a bet with him yesterday, and the bet was a medicine cauldron. I see that the cloth bag on your body is bulging. Could it be it?”
Mateo took a step back in fright, clutching his cloth pocket, and blurted out: “You want my medicine cauldron?!”
Charlie smiled and said, “Hey, you’re wrong to say that, how can you say it’s me who wanted it? Obviously, you used it as a bet yesterday, but you made a cheat on yesterday’s bet.”
“It stands to reason that cheating is equivalent to losing. If you lose, you have to admit it. If you admit it then take out the bet stake, is what I said okay?”
Mateo was furious, gritted his teeth, and cursed: “You don’t want to talk nonsense here! When did the old man lose?! Obviously, the old man won yesterday, but today the old man is generous. After all, you are still thinking about asking for the old man’s things, you are so tired of work!”
After finishing speaking, Mateo’s veins burst into anger, and he shouted angrily: “Boy! Well, water does not violate river water, but if you continue to be aggressive, don’t blame my ruthless!”
Charlie snorted, and said to the casual workers hired by Zhovia: “You have nothing to do here, you can go.”
They thought it was scary that the two of them were at war with each other, and it was even more like an amnesty when they heard this, and they ran out one by one.
After everyone had run away, Charlie said to Zhovia: “Zhovia, go and close the door, this old ba5tard won’t be able to leave if he doesn’t take out his bet today!”
Mateo was furious, and he punched Tianqi’s consultation table and smashed the solid wood consultation table to pieces, then pointed at Charlie and said angrily
“Boy, I think you really don’t know how to write the word dead!” The kid would be so frightened that he would kneel on the ground and kowtowed to send himself out.
But he never expected that Charlie didn’t care about his identity as an eight-star warrior at all, but sneered with disdain on his face: “I know how to write death, and I also know how to spell death.”
“If you don’t take out the bet, I will find a buddy who specializes in human body calligraphy, and use a knife to engrave the Chinese and English characters of the word ‘death’ on your wrinkled forehead!”
Milo has completely wanted to frustrate to death by Charlie!
He has been in the world for many years, and he is admired everywhere he goes, but he never thought that when he came to Aurous Hill, he would meet a young man who didn’t know the heights of the sky and the earth, and this young man would use a knife to carve words on his forehead!
He clenched his fists tightly, stared at Charlie, and asked coldly: “Boy, you have seen my strength, do you really think I dare not kill you? I will give you a chance to live now, kneel on the ground and knock ten bangs, and delete all the videos, and I will spare your life, otherwise, your head will end up like that table!”
Charlie sneered: “Old man, it’s not that I look down on you, it’s just with this little ability, you still want to beat my head like that, you just want to eat a55!”
Milo completely lost his mind this time, he clenched his teeth and stared at Charlie with bloodshot eyes, He roared in a cold voice: “Boy, you are fcuking courting death!”
After finishing speaking, he swung his fist suddenly, and the strength of the eight-star warrior was raised to the extreme by him to face the door!
The fist of an eight-star warrior is as strong as a fully loaded heavy truck.
When all the surging power is concentrated on the front of the fist composed of four fingers, this kind of wind is even more frightening!
Not to mention that Charlie could clearly feel the strong impact of the strong wind, and even Zhovia, who was two meters away, could clearly feel a surge similar to a hurricane blowing through her face. At this moment, her heart was in a ball, and she couldn’t hide her panic and blurted out: “Master Wade, be careful!”
All the viscera and six internal organs were in pain from the shock of the huge impact.
Tianqi inside heard his granddaughter yelling, and he didn’t care about Charlie’s order to wait behind, so he ran out anxiously to see what happened.
However, when both the grandfather and granddaughter looked at Charlie and Mateo, they found that they were still at this moment.
Mateo’s face was ferocious, and his right fist hit Charlie’s face hard.
Charlie, on the other hand, looked indifferent, just stretched out a middle finger in his right hand, and easily blocked Mateo’s fist in front of him.
Mateo’s expression also changed from murderous and ferocious at this time, too bewildered, panicked, and horrified…
He couldn’t believe it. It is easy to resist with a middle finger!
And the gesture of raising the middle finger is a universal body language. Seeing this gesture is equivalent to hearing the other party say: fcuk you, or you are an idiot.
However, despite his ever-changing expressions, the only thing he couldn’t change back to was his previous arrogance.
As Charlie’s smile became more playful, his heart became more fearful.
At this moment, he swallowed hard to moisten his dry and sore throat due to tension.
Afterward, he murmured subconsciously: “How is this possible…how is this possible…I am an eight-star warrior…”
After finishing speaking, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Charlie in fear: “You… who are you…”
Charlie smiled: “In the past, when people asked me this question, I would usually tell him, I’m someone he can’t afford.”
Mateo asked subconsciously: “Then… what about now…”
Charlie sarcastically said with disdain: “Now I’m also someone you can’t afford, it’s still useless to ask?”
Mateo realized that he was being tricked by Charlie again, but at this moment, even if he was being tricked by him, he didn’t have any anger in his heart, only fear.
Because Mateo has deeply realized that Charlie’s strength is no longer in the same rank as him, not even in the same world.
The ancients said that the gnat may shake the tree, which perfectly interprets his mood at this time.
Mateo took a step back subconsciously, like a three-year-old child who has made a mistake, and said in fear:
“I don’t know Taishan, I offended Master Wade… I hope Master Wade will be merciful…”
Charlie looked at Mateo and calmly Said: “Come on, let me give you a chance to ask the question you just asked again.”
Mateo was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly bowed and said: “Master Wade, I am like an ant in front of you, how dare I offend you and ask Your identity…”
Charlie said with a smile: “Look, when you are not given a chance, you just try to act forcefully, but when you are given a chance, you are cowardly again, it is useless, Milo.”
Mateo Trembling with fright, he knelt down on the ground with a thud, and said in a trembling voice, “Master Wade calm down…I really dare not be presumptuous in front of you…”
Charlie smiled and said calmly: “I heard that, You came to Aurous Hill to find clues to a Pill?”
After hearing this, Mateo felt even more heartbroken!
At this moment, he finally understood: “It turns out that I have been targeted by this Master Wade for a long time… I naively thought that I had set up a trap for Tianqi, but I didn’t expect that I was put into a trap by this man instead!”
At the same time, he couldn’t help wondering: “Not many people know about the fact that I came to retrieve a special pill! Except for the people in An’s family, only Sara brought the magic medicine to An’s family that day… Could it be? This Charlie, does he know them?!”
Thinking of this, a flash of lightning suddenly struck Mateo’s mind, and he suddenly realized, tremblingly said: “Master Wade…you…you are the one who made the Rejuvenation Pill?!”
The corners of Charlie’s mouth rose slightly: “You’re pretty smart.”
Mateo bowed his head when he heard this, and said in an extremely devout voice: “Mateo, the thirty-ninth generation successor of Taizhen Dao, pays homage to his master!”
Charlie curled his lips: “I’m not from your Taoist sect, let alone a guru.”
Mateo was very surprised: “You…you are not from the Taoist sect?! But… but the art of alchemy is the secret of the Taoist sect! Can you refine alchemy? The magical medicine like Rejuvenation Pill must have been deeply passed down by the Taoist sect, how could it not be a Taoist…”
Charlie snorted: “Alchemy is not a Taoist patent, who said that only Taoist people can refine it? What’s more, Although you are a member of the Taoist sect, is the alchemy you made reliable?”
“If it is reliable, you might not be able to get my blood-scattering heart-saving pill to save the old man of the An family that day, right?”
Mateo was ashamed, bowed his head, and confessed: “What Master Wade said is very true, sitting down and watching the sky, but I don’t know that there is a higher and wider world outside the door, and I still look at Master Wade…”
Charlie nodded: “Don’t say, although you are not young, this is an admission of a mistake. The attitude is quite good.”
Mateo’s old face was hot and red with embarrassment, but he could only continue to say: “The sage said, knowing the mistakes can make a big difference, but I have little talent and learning, but I don’t know how to deal with the big class. If I don’t have a correct attitude now, how can Master Wade be merciful…”
Charlie said with a smile: “You don’t want to trick me here, I didn’t say to be merciful to you.”
“Yes yes yes…” Mateo nodded his head and said respectfully: “I have no eyesight and provoke Master Wade first. No matter how Master Wade punishes this subordinate, I dare not be dissatisfied…”
Charlie with a slight smile nodded and said, “Okay, what you said is good. Next, it’s time to see the actual action. Where’s the medicine cauldron you used as a bet? Take it out.”
Mateo was stunned. At this moment, the inner struggle.
Seeing his hesitation, Charlie snorted and said with a smile, “What? It’s already this time, why can’t you be willing to admit defeat?”
Mateo shuddered violently!
At this time, he finally realized a reality, that is, his life is in danger now, what’s the use of guarding the medicine cauldron?
Thinking of this, he made up his mind, took off the cloth bag from his body, held it in front of Charlie with both respectful hands, and said humbly:
“Master Wade, this is a medicine cauldron that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years in the lower division. I would like to give it to you as an apology!”
Charlie didn’t take the cloth bag, but looked at him with interest, and asked, “Do you really want to give it to me?”
Mateo gritted his teeth and said respectfully: “Yes, I really want to give it to Master Wade!”
Charlie asked him with a smile: “Is it true?”
Mateo nodded: “It is true!”
Charlie asked again: “You don’t regret it?”
The painful blood gushed out like a fountain, but he still nodded heavily: “No… I don’t regret it!”
Charlie smiled with satisfaction: “Since you are so sure, then I will reluctantly accept it!”
When Charlie said that it was difficult to accept it, Mateo felt that his blood was about to bleed dry.
This medicinal cauldron was passed down by the ancestors of Taizhen Dao. For hundreds of thousands of years, dozens of patriarchs of Taizhen Dao have used this medicinal cauldron to make alchemy.
Seeing that the treasure, which has been handed down for thousands of years, was taken away by Charlie, Mateo felt that after his death, he would have no face to see the ancestors who were too virtuous.
But right now he has no room for turning around, this thing has already been in Charlie’s hands, he can’t beat him, talk to him, or scold him, his whole body is completely crushed in front of Charlie.
Therefore, Mateo’s current thinking is that if he can save his life in this situation, it will be considered as the blessing of the patriarch, so how can he have the heart to get back the medicine cauldron?
So, he could only smile and said respectfully: “Master Wade, you just accept it, this medicine cauldron will be yours from now on…”
Charlie nodded, and while untying the cloth pocket, he revealed the ancient clothes inside. The three-legged bronze tripod glanced at Mateo, and said, “You promised yourself. I’m not cheating on you, am I ?”
He asked again: “Are you doing it voluntarily?”
Mateo nodded, letting his tears fall on the ground, and kept saying, “It’s voluntary, it’s voluntary…”
Charlie nodded in satisfaction: “It’s voluntary.”
Then he took the three-legged medicinal cauldron out of the cloth pocket.
As the three-legged medicinal cauldron was taken out, there was also a faint smell of medicinal materials.
Charlie looked at the caldron in front of him, and couldn’t help but sigh that this thing is indeed very exquisitely made. The shape of the vessel is simple, and the lines are round, which makes him feel pleasing to the eye, and everything is so well-proportioned.
Moreover, the whole body of this thing is shiny and extremely smooth, and it feels very smooth to the touch. Don’t know if it’s because the material is good, or because Taizhendao and the patriarchs made it well.
However, Charlie didn’t think there was anything special about this medicinal cauldron. After all, he had seen a lot of antiques. If you want to say that the ancient copper and bronze wares are more elegant than this medicinal cauldron, it won’t be wrong. Those bronze wares known as national treasures are not one in a million.
Just when Charlie thought that this was most likely an ancient souvenir, he subconsciously poured a little spiritual energy into it to test it. This test didn’t matter, he just felt the medicine cauldron humming and shaking in his hand!
However, the other people around him did not notice the change in the medicine cauldron.
Immediately afterward, Charlie realized that inside the medicine cauldron, there was an extremely complicated formation, just like his own soul-piercing blade and thunderbolt, all formations were stored in the magic weapon, and the formation was activated by aura method to achieve the effect of the formation.
Charlie didn’t know what kind of formation was in this medicine cauldron, but he felt that the rotation speed was astonishingly fast, as if it was especially used to condense some kind of material.
Combined with this thing, it looks like a medicine cauldron for refining medicine, so he immediately came to the conclusion: this should be a special magic weapon for refining medicine with spiritual energy!
At this moment, his heart suddenly surged with excitement.
Before refining medicine, he used spiritual energy to condense medicinal materials directly. The reason why he didn’t use any utensils was that the strength of ordinary utensils simply couldn’t bear the temperature of spiritual energy when refining medicinal materials for a long time.
Moreover, according to the “Heavenly Scriptures”, although the medicine cauldron has no offensive power, it is considered to be relatively difficult in the magic weapon, and the internal formation of the medicine cauldron of this magic weapon level can be the blessing of aura.
The efficacy of medicinal materials can be better refined, and even achieve the effect of sublimation.
In other words, if Charlie takes the materials of the Rejuvenation Pill and refines them with spiritual energy, the result will be an ordinary Rejuvenation Pill, but if he puts the medicinal materials into this medicine cauldron and refines it, the result will be Rejuvenation Pill Plus.
The efficacy of Rejuvenation Pill Plus must be stronger than Rejuvenation Pill, but how much stronger depends on the rank of the medicine tripod itself.
Refining medicine, in some respects, is very similar to iron smelting.
If it’s just refining medicine with spiritual energy, it’s like the ancients smelting iron. Although high-calorie charcoal is used with a bellow, it can barely reach the temperature required for iron smelting, but because the temperature is not enough, the quality of the smelted iron is below the high temperature of modern industry. In front of the blast furnace, it was still a lot worse.
And this medicine cauldron is equivalent to a blast furnace in modern iron smelting!
The same iron ore, if the most primitive method is used, can only make some swords, but if it is smelted from modern blast furnaces, it can be used to make aircraft, cannons, and even aircraft carriers.
Moreover, to make alchemy with bare hands, you can only refine some low-grade pills. Once you reach the middle and high grades, you must have a medicine cauldron to refine them. Therefore, this thing is also of great significance to Charlie’s future development!
At this time, Charlie was naturally very happy.
However, he was also a little curious. This Mateo was just a Taoist priest who practiced martial arts and had no aura at all. How could he use this medicine cauldron to refine medicine?
Thinking of this, Charlie couldn’t help asking: “Master Hong, I’m curious to ask you, what do you usually use this thing for?”
Mateo’s eyes were fixed on the medicine cauldron, eyes full of reluctance and pain, muttered in his mouth: “I usually use this medicine cauldron to make some decoctions, or elixir for beginners.”
“To be more straightforward, how do you use this medicinal cauldron?”
Mateo explained: “It is to add some charcoal fire to the bottom of the cauldron, then pour the medicinal materials and water into it, and boil it with a slow fire…in fact, It’s the same as cooking traditional Chinese medicine in a casserole…”
“Using charcoal fire?” Charlie was startled and flipped over the three-legged medicine cauldron, and sure enough, he saw traces of being blackened by charcoal fire at the bottom, and it seemed that it was burned by a charcoal fire.
Smoked roasting is no longer a few years, decades, or maybe even hundreds of years.
Charlie couldn’t help thinking in his heart: “Dan it, these stupid Taoist priests of the Taizhen Dao actually use charcoal fire to burn the magic weapon, it’s really a waste of nature!”
Thinking of this, he asked again: “Could it be that your patriarchs used this medicinal cauldron with charcoal fire to make alchemy?”
“That’s right.” Mateo said subconsciously: “The medicine cauldron was originally used in this way. If this medicinal material is boiled with fire without adding water, how can there be any other way to refine it into an elixir? Is it possible to use the three flavors mentioned in the myth?” Really hot?”
Charlie couldn’t help laughing.
It seems that Taizhen Dao got this medicinal cauldron by accident, and he didn’t know how to use it at all.
It can also be seen from this that in the thousands of years of Taizhen Dao’s history, there are so many generations of descendants, no one can master the spiritual energy, and it is indeed a bit sad to think about it.
However, Charlie couldn’t help wondering: “Since so many people in Taizhen Dao don’t know the actual usage of this medicinal cauldron, why do they regard this as the treasure of the sect?”
Thinking of this, he deliberately asked Mateo: “What’s the difference between your medicine tripod and the casserole used by ordinary people to cook medicine?”
“You say it looks good, and it’s not very good-looking in bronze. Do you think it has any other cultural value?”
“There is not even a model on it, even if it is old, it can’t be sold at a high price, why do you still treat it as a treasure? Is there any secret in it that outsiders don’t know?”
“This… …” Mateo didn’t want to say it at first, because, after all, this is a secret that is not passed on by the teacher.
But he changed his mind and thought: “Keep the fcuk out of it, the tripod is gone, what’s the mystery of the teacher’s sect…”
“I might as well have a real relationship with this ba5tard surnamed Wade, maybe I can also get a little preferential treatment from him…”
Thinking of this, he immediately blurted out: “Master Wade, the magic of this medicine cauldron does not lie in the simple cooking of medicine! It lies in the fact that you take the same medicinal materials and the same amount of medicine is boiled together in it and other vessels and the medicinal effect of the medicine boiled in it is stronger than the medicine boiled in other vessels!”
Hearing Mateo’s answer, Charlie couldn’t help asking curiously: “If you cook medicine with a slow fire, the medicine it cooks will be more effective than others?”
“Yes!”
Mateo nodded repeatedly, and explained: “And this kind of effect is very miraculous, no matter whether you use it to make a decoction or use it to boil medicinal paste to make an elixir, it can make your finished medicine more powerful!”
After speaking, Mateo said again: “You can say, I am now prescribing a prescription, this prescription can nourish yin and nourish yang, and make a man regain his glory. If it is boiled in an ordinary casserole,”
“It may take three days and nine medicines to take effect. It only takes six doses of medicine in two days to have the same effect in this cauldron.”
Mateo was a little excited when he said this, and he explained with enthusiasm: “This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the nature of this medicine will also undergo a qualitative change.”
Let’s take those rich men in their seventies and eighties as an example. If the same prescription is not brewed with this medicinal cauldron, even if he drinks it for a month, he can at most be able to sing every night, but the quality of this night is not good. That is to say, the speed of regaining his glory, he can only reach 60 points, which is barely a pass;”
“However, if he drinks the medicine brewed from this medicine cauldron, he will not only be able to sing every night, but he will regain his glory.”
“At that level, it can reach 70 points or even 75 points! This is very powerful! It not only concentrates the effect of the medicine but also sublimates it.”
Zhovia, who was on the side, couldn’t help but listen to his serious introduction. Her face turned red with embarrassment, and she couldn’t help but spit in a low voice: “Bah! The obscene monk. You are evil! You are disrespectful!”
Mateo was suddenly embarrassed, and he quickly explained: “Everyone… I don’t mean anything else. Just to make an analogy…”
Charlie knew people like Mateo, although he was very powerful and a Taoist disciple, he was actually very worldly, and he only wanted to use what he had learned to cater to the rich and powerful, just like the so-called eminent monks who are keen to preach for the rich and famous are the same.
On weekdays, he must come into contact with some rich nobles. After these wealthy and nobles have reached the peak of their material life, they will definitely enter the kind of people who seek to be young when they are old,
To be healthy when they are sick, to be strong when they are impotent, and to be reborn after death. And a person like Mateo is an expert who can meet their needs to a certain extent, so he must have some means in this regard.
However, Charlie doesn’t care about these things. What he cares about is that this medicine cauldron can be improved by cooking medicine with a slow fire. It must be that its magic lies not only in the internal formation but also in its special material.
If that’s the case, wouldn’t he be able to get the double blessing of materials and formations if he used spiritual energy to refine medicine?
Thinking of this, Charlie became even more excited. Seeing Mateo’s submissive appearance, he was not as disgusted as before, so he asked him: “By the way, what services do you usually provide for those powerful people?”
Mateo said truthfully: “Master Wade, what I can provide is nothing more than healing the living, saving the dead, strengthening the body, self-cultivation, feng shui secrets, fortune-telling, and dream interpretation.”
“And thanks to this medicinal cauldron and the prescriptions left by the masters of Taizhen Dao, the medicines refined are still somewhat famous in the circle of dignitaries, so as time goes by, they have been mixed up with the name of a celestial master…”
Charlie nodded and asked, “I heard that you are acquainted with the An family in the United States?”
Mateo said without hesitation: “Yes… the old lady of the An family began to convert to Taoism 20 years ago, and it was introduced by one of my clients at that time.”
“Then she became a lay Buddhist of Taizhen Dao, besides often preaching for her deceased daughter and son-in-law, she often asked me to help with divination, as if she wanted to find out the whereabouts of her grandson…”
Charlie was stunned, and couldn’t help feeling a little bit Moved, he immediately asked him: “How was your divination for her?”
“Divination…” Mateo said awkwardly: “I am proficient in divination to some extent, but the combination of her grandson’s name and birth date, it is really strange that I couldn’t figure out why…”
Charlie heard this, he can’t help shaking his head secretly, even Lai Qinghua, who has studied Fengshui secrets all his life, couldn’t figure out his information, not to mention Mateo, a half-hearted Taoist.
But from Charlie’s objective point of view, Mateo is indeed a master. In the Taoist temple, this person has to learn Taoism, manage it, and practice martial arts hard. But even so, he can not only achieve the strength of the eight-star warrior, but he can also master certain medical skills and divination techniques, which is enough to prove that he is a very smart and talented person.
If he were a person of other martial arts, even if he spent all his life practicing martial arts, it would be impossible to reach the height of an eight-star martial artist.
At this time, Mateo thought that Charlie asked about An’s family, and then recalled that Sara took the elixir he gave to save the old man of An’s family, so he thought that he wanted to make friends with An’s family,
So he quickly said courteously: “Master Wade, Mrs. An talked with me on the phone a few days ago, and she said that she will come to Aurous Hill in a while, if you want to get to know An’s family, I can help you get started.”
Charlie frowned: “You said Mrs. An is coming to Aurous Hill?”
“Yes.” Mateo said, “Not only the old lady, but the old man and other members of the An family will also come,”
“Anyway, that’s what the old lady said on the phone, and she knows I came to Aurous Hill one step earlier, so said hello to me and asked me if I found anything here.”
Speaking of this, Mateo suddenly thought of something, and suddenly realized:
“Oh, oh! Master Wade, if you want to get to know the An family, how can I help you… I guess the An family comes to Aurous Hill because they wanted to find you.”
“After all, it was your elixir that saved the old man’s life! There is a high probability that they are coming to Aurous Hill to ask for your favor!”
Charlie’s heart suddenly became tangled.
He also knew very well that if his grandparents came to Aurous Hill, their purpose must be to find him.
It’s just that Mateo didn’t understand the details, and didn’t know that he had three identities with the An family.
The first level of identity is naturally the grandson of the An family;
the second level of identity is the lifesaver of the An family at Sara’s concert;
and the third level is the real owner of the blood-saving heart pill.
Mateo thought that the An family came to find his third identity, but Charlie knew very well that if his grandparents came to Aurous Hill, they must have come for his first identity!
They just want to start from Aurous Hill and find his whereabouts again.
Thinking of this, Charlie couldn’t help feeling a little apprehensive.
He wasn’t ready to meet his grandparents’ family yet.
What’s more, the enemy was ahead, and he didn’t want to cause trouble before that.
He has just begun to touch the peripheral forces of the Warriors’ Den and has not followed the copper mines in Cyprus and the smelters in Turkey to trace upstream.
At this time, Charlie hopes to develop in Aurous Hill in a low-key manner, while improving his strength and influence.
If the An family come to him at this time, on the one hand, they might find clues about him in Aurous Hill, on the other hand, his actions would definitely attract the attention of the Warriors’ Den!
Frankly speaking, Charlie didn’t want his grandparents to come to Aurous Hill.
But he also understands that this matter may not be within his control.
After thinking about it again and again, he looked at Mateo in front of him, and suddenly he had a plan, and said, “Send a message to the old lady right now, and tell her that you have made a fortune for the An family,”
“And think that An’s visit to Aurous Hill this time will be a serious threat. Let her think carefully, and tell her it is best to withdraw this decision.”
Mateo asked in surprise: “Master Wade… If you gave the pill that Miss Gu took that day, why did you avoid seeing the An family yourself?”
Charlie said lightly: “I have my own considerations, so you don’t need to talk too much.”
Mateo nodded resentfully, but the next moment, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly remembered something, and blurted out: “I remembered! That Miss Gu, she is not just as simple as a celebrity…she has another identity, she is the fiancee of that grandson of An’s family!”
After speaking, he looked at Charlie with wide eyes and said in amazement: “Could it be…Could it be…you are Mrs. An’s grandson Charlie who has been missing for many years?!”
Hearing Mateo’s words, Charlie was slightly taken aback, he didn’t expect that he knew his name and could guess his identity.
However, he did not hide anything, and said directly: “You guessed right, I am Charlie Wade.”
“My God!” Mateo only felt dizzy for a while, and then quickly said: “Master Wade, look at this matter It’s making a fuss… You are in plain sight and the family doesn’t know the family!”
Charlie said coldly, “Who is your family?”
Mateo hurriedly said, “Master Wade, I and your Grandma have a very close personal relationship. Over the years, she has asked me to do many rituals, all of which are done for you! Either to pray for you or to show you the way, I have even done rituals to call from the Underworld Your file, to see if you are still alive…”
Charlie sarcastically said, “Can you still talk to the underworld?”
Mateo sneered and said: “Oh, religious ceremony…religious ceremony… I don’t have that ability. To put it bluntly, isn’t it just to help your grandma take a formality and give her psychological comfort. And I have always told the old lady, ‘Let me tell you, old lady, your grandson is not ordinary. You see, I am so capable that I can’t figure out the reason for his divination. Presumably, it is impossible for your grandson to be crossed in the book of life and death of Lord Hades.’ Because of what I said, the old lady has always believed that you are still alive!”
Speaking of this, he said with a smile: “Master Wade, to tell you the truth, I have spent so much time on you for so many years, even if I have no credit, Is it not a bit of hard work? Even if there is no hard work, then I have practiced divination for so many years just for you…”
Charlie said lightly: “You don’t want to talk nonsense here, just stop it now. I said, send a message to my grandmother.”
Mateo did not dare to neglect, quickly took out his mobile phone, and sent a message to the old lady, the content of the message was:
Mrs. An, I just made a hexagram, and the hexagram showed, If you and your family come to Aurous Hill in the near future, there is a bad omen. To be cautious, I suggest that you and your family wait for a while.
As soon as the message was sent, the old lady called right after.
Mateo looked at Charlie, and asked tentatively: “Master Wade, do you think I should answer or not? If I answer, what should I say?”
Charlie said: “Accept! After accepting, it will still be the same rhetoric, Just say that they should not come to Aurous Hill in the near future!”
Mateo nodded, connected the phone, and at the same time turned on the loudspeaker very tactfully.
On the phone, Grandma’s voice came, and she asked anxiously: “Master Hong, you just said in the message that there is a bad omen when we go to Aurous Hill this time. I don’t know what the specific situation is?”
Mateo could only talk nonsense. Nonsense: “I watched the stars at night and made a fortune for An’s family. The divination shows that Aurous Hill is a great danger to An’s family, so let me tell you quickly that it is best not to come here in the near future.”
Mrs. An thought for a moment and said seriously: “Milo, the An family is already preparing to come to Aurous Hill. This time, we are coming to Aurous Hill to find my grandson.”
“I think he disappeared in Aurous Hill back then, so we decided to start this year. Restart bit by bit, so we have to go to this elf, I wonder if you can resolve this disaster?”
Mateo looked at Charlie awkwardly, and then said bravely: “Mrs. An, it’s not that I am bad at learning, it’s just that the omen you encountered this time is too strong, and it is beyond my ability to solve it…”
Old lady An fell into silence.
Mateo quickly hit the rails while it was still hot: “Mrs. An, in my opinion, the best way for you now is to temporarily put aside your plan to come to Aurous Hill and wait for a while to see the situation.”
“According to your divination, if there is any change in your fortune, I will definitely notify you as soon as possible!”
The old lady An on the other end of the phone said, “I appreciate Milo’s kindness, but about Aurous Hill, the An family still has to come.”
Mateo hurriedly said: “Mrs. An, you must think carefully about this matter!”
Mrs. An smiled slightly and said seriously: “To tell you the truth, the An family just experienced an unprecedented crisis in the United States some time ago. A benefactor stepped forward and saved the lives of everyone in the An family.”
“That crisis was a time bomb buried in the An family many years ago. Thanks to him, our family was saved. I believe this is also the luck brought to me by my great-grandson.”
“We will go to Aurous Hill this time to find him. I believe he will also bless us when we meet again. Bad luck turned good.”
“This…” Mateo suddenly didn’t know how to continue persuading, because he could hear that although the old lady said these words with a smile, her tone was very firm, and she definitely couldn’t be persuaded by just a few words.
So, he looked at Charlie with an inquiring look, wondering if Charlie could do anything, or if he had any new instructions.
Hearing what grandma said at this time, Charlie couldn’t help sighing silently and then waved to Mateo, signaling to let it go.
Mateo then said to the old lady: “Mrs. An, since you insist, then I will stop dissuading you. When you all arrive in Aurous Hill, don’t forget to contact me!”
“Okay!” The wife said with a smile: “Then Milo, let’s meet in Aurous Hill.”
Mateo said again and again: “Okay lady, see you in Aurous Hill!”
After hanging up the phone, he said helplessly: “Master Wade, I really tried my best!”
“Already…”
Charlie waved his hand, and said lightly: “It’s okay, I don’t blame you.”
After that, he looked at Mateo and asked him: “I don’t know what you are planning now. You wanted to come to me and now and found me.”
“Now, shouldn’t you also prepare to go back to the United States?”
“Back to America?!”
