Becoming an Immortal Emperor, All Thanks to the Efforts of My Enemies

Chapter 10



Chapter 11: Mental Breakdown

There was one more thing.

This medical practitioner looked at the scene before him, feeling an inexplicably familiar eeriness.

It was just like what happened with Shen Kaiyang before.

His entire meridian system shattered, becoming a useless person out of nowhere.

The key issue was that Shen Kaiyang had only received a single glance, and then he exploded.

Thinking about this, the medical practitioner couldn’t help but swallow hard.

“Uh, I sincerely apologize. My skills are lacking; I can’t resolve his problems!”

Qin Shaogong’s expression darkened.

This guy was among the most renowned medical practitioners around.

If he couldn’t treat the patient, then no one in Jing Shui City could.

Qin Shaogong bowed again.

“Rest assured, Brother Zhao. No matter what kind of medicinal herbs it takes, or how much we need to pay, we can afford it!”

The medical practitioner chuckled dryly.

Even someone like Lin Qinghe from the inner sect couldn’t provide a remedy for a shattered meridian.

You outer disciples think you can handle it?

With that in mind, the medical practitioner immediately pulled out a prescription.

After Qin Shaogong took the prescription and saw the herbs listed, he suddenly realized how reckless he had been!

He even felt quite embarrassed.

“Uh, do you have any substitutes that are lower quality?”

Upon hearing this, the medical practitioner trembled.

That familiar scent, the familiar recipe…

Was the next step going to be an explosion?

The medical practitioner fidgeted, standing up hastily.

“Sorry, there’s really none!”

He turned around to leave, but Qin Shaogong stopped him.

Qin Shaogong’s gaze turned icy.

“Oh, really none?”

The medical practitioner instantly understood.

If he didn’t provide an explanation today, he might have some trouble getting out of that door.

Sighing, the medical practitioner confessed, “It’s true that there’s none. If I had any replacements, would I hide them? You know what kind of person Zhao Gou is!”

He wasn’t wrong. Zhao Gou was genuinely compassionate and pursued medicine to save lives.

If Zhao Gou were to die in their hands, it would be quite unfavorable for them.

Qin Shaogong connected the dots quickly.

He forced a smile. “Well, actually, I’ve been feeling a bit unwell lately, so I’d appreciate it if you could take a look, Mr. Zhao!”

Zhao Gou gave Qin Shaogong a measured look, sighing inwardly.

‘Looks like he’s giving me an easy way out!’

In that case, he might as well help him out.

Nodding, Zhao Gou said, “Extend your hand!”

Qin Shaogong complied obediently.

Zhao Gou started checking his pulse.

“Hmm, indeed a bit weak. Yuan Yang is leaking excessively, and also…”

“Boom…”

Before Zhao Gou could finish, Qin Shaogong literally exploded.

Zhao Gou stood frozen, still holding onto an arm, caught off guard.

Zhang Junbao, who had been watching them from the bed, had his eyes wide open.

Zhao Gou awkwardly turned to Zhang Junbao, forcing a smile, unaware that he was now covered in blood, with the sunlight shining behind him, holding a bloody arm.

That smile was terrifying indeed.

Moment by moment, Zhao Gou slowly approached Zhang Junbao.

“Whoa…whoa…don’t come near!”

Zhang Junbao trembled, panic etched across his face.

“Help…”

Zhao Gou quickly covered Zhang Junbao’s mouth.

“Don’t shout! Honestly, I just want to explain; this is a misunderstanding. Can you trust me?”

Zhang Junbao, desperate for his life, nodded in agreement.

Zhao Gou let out a sigh of relief.

“I’ll take my hand away, but you mustn’t shout!”

Zhang Junbao nodded again.

But as soon as Zhao Gou lifted his hand, Zhang Junbao was about to scream again.

Zhao Gou quickly covered his mouth once more.

“I told you not to shout! It’s truly a misunderstanding! How about this? If you keep this secret, I’ll do my utmost to treat you. Deal?”

Zhang Junbao suddenly started trembling again.

Before they knew it, Zhang Junbao’s spiritual energy was swiftly drained, leaving him a mere husk.

Zhao Gou stepped back in shock.

Looking at his own hand, then glancing over at the exploded and remains of Zhang Junbao, he completely lost his cool.

“This… This absolutely wasn’t my doing!”

Zhao Gou nearly cried.

The next morning.

Qinglian Sect was bustling.

Because someone had become famous.

Zhao Gou, that medical practitioner.

Rumor had it that Zhao Gou personally took down two spies within the Qinglian Sect yesterday.

His methods were terrifying.

This made everyone in Qinglian Sect realize a truth: while a medical practitioner could heal, if they decide to kill, it could be just as dreadful.

Word had it that one victim was literally dismembered into pieces, while the other turned into a dried corpse.

Liu Shunyi, currently bored out of his mind, decided to join in the commotion just like any onlooker.

But hearing these tales about Zhao Gou left Liu Shunyi utterly shocked.

“Whoa, a medical practitioner can be that powerful?”

A nearby disciple chimed in.

“You have no idea! I went to take a look myself; it was gruesome, just gruesome.”

Some disciples expressed admiration.

“You guys might not know, but Brother Zhao was drenched in blood, clearly having battled with those spies. What impressed me the most was his incredible integrity.”

Liu Shunyi couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

“Oh, really? So, what’s his story?”

Those disciples weren’t shy at all.

They all started munching on sunflower seeds together and chatting away.

“You wouldn’t believe it! The sect elder wanted to reward Brother Zhao, but he refused! He wouldn’t even let the elder give him any credit for his merits. How noble is that?”

“Though in the end, they still recorded his achievements. I heard he might be honored as an honorary elder!”

“We’re here today just to see the face of that honorary elder!”

Liu Shunyi nodded.

“Indeed, these days, there aren’t many people like Brother Zhao in the cultivation world!”

“Oh, by the way, just how powerful were those spies he killed? Was one of them an honorary elder?”

Liu Shunyi was quite curious.

A knowledgeable person whispered, “You may not know this, but the two people Zhao Gou took down, one was named Zhang Junbao, the other Qin Shaogong. They may not be powerful, but their status is different.”

“I heard they were from the Qinglian Mine! The sect elder traced them back and shut down the entire Qinglian Mine.”

“And you know what? Turns out almost eighty percent of the workforce there were spies! It became a den for spies, all while occupying the mine!”

“Just think about how great that achievement was for Zhao Gou!”

Liu Shunyi couldn’t help but feel the weight of those words, leaving him speechless.

“Here he comes! Brother Zhao is coming out!”

Someone shouted.

Everyone quickly stood up and looked up.

Liu Shunyi joined the crowd in excitement as he gazed up.

At that moment, Zhao Gou, dressed in honorary elder robes, had a face that looked as miserable as a dog in the sun.

Seeing Zhao Gou’s expression, Liu Shunyi couldn’t help but chuckle.
