Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem After a few hours, they arrived at Tigerback Mountain at almost 11 pm.
Tigerback Mountain was on the seaside. This sea was called Whitedragon Gulf, which was connected with Yaohai Ocean. It was a part of Yaohai Ocean that penetrated into Emperor NvWa City. At the foot of Tigerback Mountain, there was a prosperous town called Tigerback Town which stretched dozens of miles on the seaside.
When they arrived at Tigerback Town, it had long stopped raining. Although it was very late, Tigerback Town was still brightly lit and boisterous. There seemed to be a night market. Driving on the mountain road, they could see the scenery of Tigerback Town through the window of the vehicle. They could even see gaily-painting pleasure-boats anchored offshore Whitedragon Gulf which was connected with Tigerback Town, illuminating the sea surface with colorful lights.
When the vehicle arrived at Tigerback Town, Zhang Tie got off the vehicle at the three-way entrance of Tigerback Town and bade farewell to Tang Mei, Aunt Wu and Aunt Wu.
On the way, Zhang Tie talked with them harmoniously. When they arrived at Tigerback Town, of course, they would find a place to live. However, if Zhang Tie continued to live in an inn or hotel with Tang Mei, Aunt Wu and Aunt Wu, as Tang Mei was a woman, it would be embarrassing. Additionally, Zhang Tie would appear to have an ulterior motive. Therefore, the moment they arrived at Tigerback Town, Zhang Tie proposed to get off the vehicle. Before Tang Mei said anything, Aunt Wu had let out a deep sigh as she watched Zhang Tie's eyes.
Tang Mei didn't urge Zhang Tie to stay. As they met by chance, it was not proper for them to be too polite.
"Wish you a smooth journey, Master Jin!"
"Hahaha, wish you a speedy recovery too!"
After bidding farewell to Zhang Tie politely, Uncle Guan drove the vehicle to the left of the three-way road. Zhang Tie then went to the right. After all, both sides were towns. At first glance, they could see many boites and inns on the roadside. It should not be difficult for them to find a place to live.
The roads in the town were covered with lanterns. They didn't even need street lamps. Additionally, the boites on both sides of the roads were singing and dancing. Many people were enjoying themselves in the streets. Hearing the laughter, Zhang Tie felt that he had entered a red-light district in a prosperous big city.
Zhang Tie really couldn't understand such a scene at the foot of Tigerback Mountain.
He just wandered on the main road for a short while before walking towards a tranquil place. After walking for a while, he caught sight of a tranquil hostel in the depth of a lane paved with bluestones. The hostel was covered with two red lanterns behind a small bamboo wood. There was a rockery and a brook in front of the hostel. It didn't look luxurious. Zhang Tie then walked in.
Walking into the alley, he raised his head to take a look. The inn's name was Bamboo Book Inn. The name was quite elegant. There was even a wooden couplet carved on the door of the inn — Outside there are a thousand bamboo stalks, inside there are ten thousand books.
With a faint smile, Zhang Tie strode into the inn.
At the sight of Zhang Tie, a waiter in green robe and green hat welcomed him at once.
"Is there a room available?"
"Yes, yes, there are two superior rooms in the hotel. Would you like to stay here?"
"Not bad. What's the price?"
"Five Purple Crystal Coins per day!"
"What?" Zhang Tie was really startled by this price. It didn't mean that Zhang Tie was poor; instead, Zhang Tie knew that it was definitely a very, very high price in Motian Realm. Previously, Zhang Tie thought that such an inn only needed dozens of white crystal coins per day. He had not imagined that such an ordinary inn could have such an exaggerated price for one night.
With a passionate smile, the waiter said, "It might be your first time to come to Emperor NvWa City. Everything in Emperor NvWa City is expensive. The items at the foot of Tigerback Mountain are more expensive than those in other places; especially the accommodation. If you don't believe me, you could inquire about the prices of the inns in Tigerback Town. Although this inn is not the cheapest, it's not the most expensive either. This price is just medium in Tigerback Town!"
At the sight of the waiter's eye light, Zhang Tie had known that the waiter didn't lie. Therefore, he didn't feel like bargaining anymore, saying, "Fine, give me a superior room!"
"Fine, I will show you your room right now. Oh, according to the rule of all the inns in Tigerback Town, you have to pay before staying here. When you leave, we will pay you more. If you stay here for a long time and run out of the money, we will have to ask you to pay more …" The waiter introduced the rule to Zhang Tie as he led Zhang Tie into the inn.
It was out of Zhang Tie's imagination that he had to pay before staying here. Therefore, Zhang Tie directly asked, "How much do I need to pay in advance?"
"One blue crystal coin …"
One blue crystal coin was equal to 100 purple crystal coins; one purple crystal coin was equal to 100 white crystal coins. They were the basic currency units in Motian Realm. If one blue crystal coin was paid in advance, it was equal to 20 days' accommodation fee in advance.
Zhang Tie directly took out a blue crystal coin from his purse and gave it to the waiter. Closely after that, he asked, "Why is Tigerback Town so boisterous in the evening?" "Because Sage Bian is in Tigerback Mountain.
"Because Sage Bian is in Tigerback Mountain. Over these years, all the people across Motian Realm who want to seek medical treatment from Sage Bian have gathered in Tigerback Town. Many of them stayed here. Additionally, most of those who want to seek medical treatment from Sage Bian here are famous doctors across Motian Realm. These people are rich. Many of them even have attendants and maids. Of course, Tigerback Town becomes boisterous. As time goes by, those who want to seek medical treatment from Sage Bian have gotten acquainted with each other. As they have nothing to do each day; especially in the evening, of course, they would drink and have fun everywhere …"
After the waiter's explanation, Zhang Tie finally understood that Tigerback Town became so boisterous and boisterous because of Bian Heng the Yama. It was simply like a hot tourist area. Because of Bian Heng the Yama, the Yama made money and lived a good life, Bian Heng the Yama was called "Sage Bian" by the people in the town …
The moment Zhang Tie entered a courtyard under the guidance of the waiter, he saw some people sitting beside a stone table in the middle of the courtyard and arguing about something.
"Brother Li's words are incorrect. According to what Brother Li said, the person who died in Brother Li's medical center must have been suffering from a guilty conscience. In addition, the Minister of Fire and Ruler of Prime and Minister of Fire had lost control of themselves. We can use acupuncture techniques to stab the Hand's Minor Yang Meridian and then stab the Heart Relief Meridian.
We could definitely cure him … "" At that time, I also found that the person had lost control of the Minister of Fire and Minor Yin Meridian. Why not cure fire with yin? "
"Brother Li, you only think that yin could cure fire; however, you don't know that Extreme Yin Meridian belongs to metal; Minor Yin Meridian belongs to water. If you stab the Extreme Yin Meridian, fire will surpass metal; if you stab the Minor Yin Meridian, water will surpass fire. If you stab the Extreme Yin Meridian and Minor Yin Meridian, you can drive fire to swallow metal and extinguish fire with water.
"Ah …" That person suddenly understood as he forcefully patted his thigh …
The people next to him also looked at the person who had spoken with admiration, and one by one, they asked that person for advice …
"Today we're talking about fire. I wonder how the Monarch Phase Fire is going to be analyzed …"
"I feel the Minister of Fire and Minister of Fire are actually the Yin-Yang Fire. Yin Fire is the Minister of Fire; Yang Fire is the Minister of Fire …"
"No, as the saying goes, the Qi of Strong Fire is weak; the Qi of Minor Fire is strong. Strong Fire consumes Qi; Qi consumes Minor Fire. Strong Fire dissipates Qi; Minor Fire generates Qi. I feel the Minister of Fire and Minister of Fire are actually strong Young Fire … "
…
Hearing their discussions, Zhang Tie didn't know what to say as he became confused. Although they all wanted to be someone else's apprentice, one was indulging in debauchery outside; the other was having a debate on medical knowledge here. This small Tigerback Town had really become the gathering place of these people who studied medical knowledge in Motian Realm. These people could be seen everywhere in Tigerback Town. Zhang Tie really wondered how many people wanted to join Tigerback Mountain.
When the waiter passed by the corridor with Zhang Tie, those people who were discussing also caught sight of Zhang Tie. One of them even invited Zhang Tie to join them, saying, "Friend, do you also want to join Sage Bian's apprentice? As we're from different domains, we could discuss medical knowledge with each other. Perhaps, we might gain something!"
"Ahem, ahem, thanks. I know nothing about medical knowledge. I'm here for something else …"
"Ah, it turns out that you're not on the same path as me!" That waiter slightly shook his head as he became silent. After hearing that Zhang Tie was not on the same path as them, those people who were discussing medical knowledge didn't pay attention to Zhang Tie anymore.
…
Zhang Tie followed the waiter all the way to his room. After taking a look at it, Zhang Tie was basically satisfied. Therefore, he settled down there.
Zhang Tie prepared to take a rest tonight. Tomorrow morning, he would go to Tigerback Mountain to find Bian Heng and see whether he could cure the problem in his qi sea. Now that Bian Heng could be worshipped by so many people in Motian Realm, he must have some abilities …
