Chapter 19: When things go wrong, there must be a demon
Shen Li helped Liu Lin get on the Shen family's carriage, and told his father Shen Wande that Sima Xiang asked him to take Liu Lin to the Alchemist Guild for treatment.
Shen Wande looked at the seriously injured Liu Lin and said to Shen Li: "When things go wrong, there must be demons, and when people go wrong, there must be swords. Mr. Liu is too seriously injured, so let's go. After all, we don't have anything better to do." ."
Sima Xiang had already taken a step forward and returned to the Alchemist Guild.
"Mr. President, the last time I saw this man, he was still at the second or third level of the Golden Core. Now, in just over half a month, this man is not only at the seventh level of the Golden Core, he can even compete with my nephew Sima Lang." A round." Sima Xiang said to a middle-aged man in black robes in a secret room of the Alchemist Guild.
"Except for our Alchemist Guild, I have never heard of other sects having a way to improve their realm so quickly. If what you say is true, I will record a merit for you. If this person comes to treat his injury, I will definitely do it myself. Check his body to see if there is anything different from ordinary people." The middle-aged man in black robe said.
"So, President, what's going on with my nephew's 'Guiyuan Pill'?" Sima Xiang asked.
"If we discover the secret of this person's rapid cultivation and report it to the Zhongzhou headquarters, let alone the 'Guiyuan Pill', I can use the pill to smash an old man like you into a Nascent Soul!" said the middle-aged man in black robe. people said.
"Then I would like to thank the president in advance." Sima Xiang said respectfully.
Shen Li and Shen Wande supported the weak Liu Lin to the Alchemist's Guild. There was no guard at the door, and the three of them entered smoothly. The Alchemist's Guild was a large courtyard, and the interior buildings were as luxurious as Xiao's Mansion.
"Brother, may I ask where to go for treatment?" Shen Li asked a little medicine boy passing by.
"Oh, are you here to treat injuries? Our Alchemist Guild currently only accepts immortal cultivators." The boy said.
"Yes, he is an immortal cultivator, and he was seriously injured." Shen Li pointed at the semi-conscious Liu Lin.
"Okay, then come with me." The boy led the way.
Under the leadership of the little boy, the Shen family and his son entered the tower-shaped main building of the alchemist with Liu Lin on their backs. The little boy knocked on a door on the first floor.
"The door is unlocked, please come in." A crisp young male voice came from inside the house.
"Doctor Zhao, the immortal cultivator is here to treat the injury." The boy entered the room first and said respectfully to the young man in Taoist robes inside the room.
"Okay, bring the patient here and let me take a look." The young man said.
"Hello, doctor." Shen Wande said respectfully to Elder Zhao as soon as he entered the room.
The Shen family's father and son helped Liu Lin in.
"The injury is quite serious, let's put it here first," the young man said, pointing to a wooden bed.
After putting Liu Lin away, Shen Li said: "Doctor, he was injured in a duel with an immortal cultivator."
"Young man, I can still see this. Anyway, you can't fall like this." The young elder Zhao said.
Elder Zhao grabbed Liu Lin's wrist and felt for his pulse.
After checking his pulse, Elder Zhao said: "This person is seriously injured. You pay first and I will treat him."
Shen Wande said: "Doctor, how much does it cost?"
Dr. Zhao said: "We are not an ordinary medical clinic here, and the fees are naturally high. Please pay a thousand taels of high-grade spiritual stones first."
"Doctor, we don't have any spiritual stones. Can we settle with gold and silver?" Shen Wande said in embarrassment.
"No. If there is a spiritual stone, I will treat it. If you don't have a spiritual stone, please do it yourself." Dr. Zhao said arrogantly.
When the Shen family and his son were in an awkward situation, a middle-aged man in black robe walked in.
"Xiao Zhao, you are so rude." said the middle-aged man in black robe.
"Sir, President, you are disrespectful of your position. I hope you will be punished by the President." The originally proud Doctor Zhao instantly transformed into a docile little sheep in front of the middle-aged man in black robe.
Upon hearing that it was the president, Shen Wande quickly made a ceremony and said respectfully: "Sir, can you treat my friend first? I will raise money immediately."
"No need, free treatment. Xiao Zhao, why don't you treat the patient quickly?" said the middle-aged man in black robe.
"Yes, yes, yes, I will treat this gentleman immediately. You two escorts! Hurry up and carry this gentleman to the medical room next door. I will immediately stitch up this gentleman's wound and apply gold sore medicine." Zhao The doctor was submissive in front of the president, but he was very dignified when he directed Shen Li and his son.
After the Shen family and his son carried Liu Lin to the bed in the medical room, Doctor Zhao also called his two assistants.
"You two mortals, please go out and don't get in the way here." Doctor Zhao said to the Shen family and his son.
Shen Li secretly swore in his heart: "You must make yourself strong. If you are weak, you will have to endure the cold eyes of people like Dr. Zhao."
Shen Li and his son were waiting outside the house. Shen Li said: "Father, this Dr. Zhao is a bit rude. I really want to slap him twice."
"When people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads. When standing up, they have to be forbearing when encountering difficulties. Forbearance is not cowardice. As the saying goes, those who stay for a long time will fly high; those who take the lead will be grateful early." Shen Wande said with great sincerity.
"The child has learned a lesson," said Birthday.
"You two mortals, just go back and leave one person to accompany you. This gentleman has already taken the medicine and needs to be observed. The dean has come forward. We will definitely take good care of this gentleman." Dr. Zhao came out and said to the Shen family. The father and son said.
"Li'er, go back." Shen Wande said first.
"Father, I'd better stay here. You can go back. You haven't finished your business yet," Shen Li said.
"That's good. We should leave for Wancheng in two days. We haven't purchased all the goods yet. You have to remember what your father told you before and don't cause trouble." Shen Wande didn't talk to Shen Li anymore. Instead, he chose to trust his son and went back to buy the goods.
At night, Liu Lin woke up.
"Shen Li, where are you?" Liu Lin asked Shen Li beside the bed.
"This is the Alchemist Guild, here to treat your injuries," Shen Li said.
"I'm fine, we have to leave here. This is Sima Xiang's territory. There must be a conspiracy." Liu Lin stood up and seemed to be fine.
"I also feel that there must be a demon if something goes wrong. Since you're fine, let's leave now?" Shen Li also stood up, took out a set of clothes from Najie and gave them to Liu Lin.
"Do you know why Sima Xiang asked his nephew to let me go?" Liu Lin said while getting dressed.
"I don't know." Shen Li shook his head.
"The world of monks is far darker than you imagine. There are no eternal friends or eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Sima Xiang saw that I was rapidly improving my strength and concluded that I have a secret."
"Well, it turns out that they think you are still valuable, so they kept you alive and planned to make you hand over the secret." Shen Li said.
"That's it. Let me tell you the truth, my secret is actually you. The move that I used to destroy Sima Lang's spiritual power, 'Sky-breaking Cloud Slash', was learned from your book. Your situation now is different from I'm just as dangerous."
"Travel Guide to the Seven Eastern Countries?" Shen Li lowered his voice and asked in disbelief.
