Chapter 18 Mo Zichen

The Divine Physician Jiugu certainly never imagined that after his passing, his proud disciple would regard Yan An as a goddess. It's not surprising, really; now, with the added advantages of modern technology and spatial abilities, even Granny Qi can't compare to Yan An's medical skills.

Not long after, Mo Chen woke up, and Qian Feng told him what had happened. "Please punish me, Master." Qian Feng knew that he had overstepped the rules and almost killed the Master.

"Never mind, you had no choice but to do it. There won't be a next time." Mo Chen frowned, wondering when he would see that little girl again.

"Zichen, it won't be easy to cure the poison in your body. You'll need to use the golden lotus root as medicine and take a medicinal bath with water from Tianshan Mountain for seven days. These two things are no ordinary items, so you'll have to be careful in the future."

Zichen's original name was Mo Zichen, and Mochen was the name he used when he was away from home.

"Zichen understands, and I thank Physician Jiugu for saving my life so many times." Mo Zichen understood that he had been able to live for so many years entirely thanks to Physician Jiugu in front of him.

"You brat, why are you being so polite with me? But you were able to escape unharmed this time thanks to that little girl. If she hadn't given you the antidote in time, even a god couldn't have saved you."

"Could it be that Xiao An'an's master is really Doctor Mei?" Mo Zichen asked incredulously. He had always thought that the Seventh Granny Xiao An'an mentioned was just an old woman who knew medicine.

"It's her. I wonder how they are doing. It's been so many years since I last saw them." Doctor Jiugu revealed a hint of sadness.

"Them? Does Master know Doctor Mei?" Su Jingzhan beside him asked with some doubt. This was the first time in all these years that he had learned that he knew Doctor Mei.

The Divine Physician Jiugu's thoughts drifted back to his youth. "Decades ago, there was a highly respected Taoist cultivator named Tianxuan, whom everyone called Taoist Tianxuan. He took four disciples in his lifetime: Bai Qing as his eldest, Qi Po as his second, myself as his third, and Yun Xi as his fourth. Bai Qing was skilled in martial arts and metaphysics, Qi Po was skilled in medicine, poisons, and lightness skills, and Yun Xi was skilled in martial arts and poisons, especially poisons, which he was a genius with unparalleled skill. At that time, my master saw that he was wholeheartedly studying poisons and was afraid that he would go astray, so he taught him more. Who knew that he would actually test the poisons he developed on ordinary people, and even shamelessly said that being his test subjects was a blessing from heaven. When my master saw that he did not repent, he could not bear to kill him. In addition, his fellow disciples pleaded for him, so he abandoned his cultivation and sent him down the mountain."

"Alas... to be honest, it's us, master and disciple, who have wronged you. The poison in your body was probably developed by my junior brother. If we hadn't been soft-hearted, you probably wouldn't have been poisoned." The Divine Physician Jiugu's narrow eyes flashed with obvious annoyance.

"Zichen, rest here for a few more days. Go back after the toxins in your body have stabilized." Doctor Jiugu turned and left.

After resting for a few days with the Divine Physician Jiugu, Mo Zichen returned to Beiming Manor after the poison was suppressed. In the past few years, he had been inquiring about Yan An's whereabouts, but there was no news at all.
