Steal the Immeasurable Fruit? The Ghost Doctor paused, then smiled, almost bursting out in laughter. He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. "You people are really unscrupulous in order to achieve your goals. You even use nonsense to fool ghosts. Do you really think us, master and disciple, are fools who don't pay attention to outside matters?"
Niu Youdao smiled. "Why do you say that?"
The Ghost Doctor's face quickly turned angry. "As far as I know, the Immeasurable Fruit Tree had already bloomed before it was destroyed. The Immeasurable Fruit takes thirty years to bloom, thirty years to bear fruit, and thirty years to ripen. In other words, the Immeasurable Fruit was stolen at least thirty years ago. Thirty years ago, how old was my disciple Wu Xin? He was just a little kid in the secular world, yet he participated in the theft of the Immeasurable Fruit. Do you think the three saints are fools, or do you think I'm easy to scare? "
Niu Youdao studied him and nodded slightly. "Good, it's good that you have the ability to adapt. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to complete the task. Hei Li, who told you that the Immeasurable Fruit Tree needs thirty years to bloom? "
The Ghost Doctor retorted. "Everyone knows!"
Niu Youdao: "Don't be so angry. I'll tell you something that not everyone knows. That's right, under normal circumstances, the Immeasurable Fruit grows as you say. But do you know why the Immeasurable Fruit Tree needs thirty years to bloom, why it needs another thirty years to bear fruit, and why it needs another thirty years to ripen? "
The Ghost Doctor paused. This was the right question. But after pondering for a moment, he hesitated. "I think that the Immeasurable Fruit is not an ordinary thing. It's born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It must absorb enough spiritual energy of heaven and earth to grow. That's why it grows so slowly."
On the other hand, Niu Youdao was amazed by this old man. Previously, he was confused about something, but this old man had actually guessed it accurately in an instant. He immediately applauded and praised, "Mister is indeed a famous doctor of this generation. You treat illnesses and understand the physiology of people. The physiology of people is like the cycle of heaven and earth. If you understand one thing, then all will follow. Mister is proficient in the way of healing, so it's not surprising that you can explain things."
He clasped his hands behind his back. "That's right! It's for this reason. Mister should also know that the Immeasurable Fruit has not been picked for many years. Mister should also know that the trunk of the Immeasurable Fruit Tree has absorbed a great deal of Heaven and Earth spiritual energy! It's not just thirty years, it's two hundred years! "
The Ghost Doctor seemed to have understood something, and was somewhat bewildered. But she snorted disdainfully: "What does that have to do with this old man's disciple?"
Niu Youdao chuckled. "I wonder if Mister has heard of Niu Youdao supervising the Immeasurable Garden?"
The Ghost Doctor was baffled by the question. "What does it have to do with this old man's disciple?"
Niu Youdao asked again, "Has Mister heard of the assassination attempt on Niu Youdao after he was inspecting the Limitless Garden?"
Still feeling baffled, the Ghost Doctor flicked her sleeve. "What has this got to do with this old man's disciple?"
Niu Youdao giggled, "Does Mister know that the Immeasurable Fruit was stolen by that Niu Youdao? Afterwards, in order to escape, he resorted to the method of a cicada shedding its carapace, using a fake death to escape?"
What bullsh * t. The Ghost Doctor was enraged. "What does that have to do with this old man's disciple?"
Niu Youdao chuckled. "Does Mister really not know, or are you playing dumb? That fake Niu Youdao was created by your disciple, Wuxin, through a miraculous technique, and you say it has nothing to do with you? Even if I believe it, will others believe it? Do you think the Three Saints will believe it? "
"…" The Ghost Doctor's heartstrings trembled, and she was momentarily stunned. In the end, she pinched her beard, and muttered weakly, "Nonsense!"
Niu Youdao: "Don't play dumb with me. Since Mister isn't willing to help, then you and your disciple can slowly explain the whereabouts of the Immeasurable Fruit to the Three Saints." With that said, she circled to the other side of the long table, and strode away.
The Ghost Doctor's heart trembled, and she almost pinched off her own beard. She suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
Niu Youdao stopped and turned to face her. "Does Mister have anything else to say?"
The Ghost Doctor seemed to be gritting her teeth, and her eyes looked like they were about to spit fire. She said word by word, "What do you want me to do?"
Niu Youdao laughed. "Treat a patient and save a person!"
The Ghost Doctor was bewildered. "That's it? Save who? "
Niu Youdao: "Of course, you have to do something else as well. It might seem dangerous, but it's actually more dangerous if you don't do it. You'll be safer if you do it. In the future, no one will dare to touch you, and I guarantee that the Three Saints will pretend not to know when they find out. Not only will the Three Saints not touch you, they will even think of a way to help you and your disciple cover up. But I really need Mister to show some courage, and I can guarantee that this is the last time I'll have to trouble Mister. After this, Mister will be completely free! "
"In other words, you won't be able to interfere with what happens next."
The Ghost Doctor was suspicious. "What exactly is it?" They didn't know anything, so how could they dare to believe what the other party said was true? Who would dare to believe such a promise?
"It's nothing much, I just want Mister to make a trip to the Three Saints to save someone …"
Niu Youdao explained in detail what he wanted the other party to do, and warned him in detail.
The more the Ghost Doctor listened, the more bewildered he became. Sometimes he was shocked, sometimes he was startled, and sometimes he interrupted with a question or two.
After explaining everything, Niu Youdao spread out his hands. "You see, as long as Mister does this, in order not to arouse the Three Saints' suspicions, I definitely won't dare to touch Mister. After that, I definitely won't dare to force Mister to do anything. And the Three Saints, in order not to alert the enemy, will definitely not dare to touch Mister. "
"If the Three Saints win, Mister will have the credit, so you won't have to worry. If we win, Mister will also have the credit, so you won't have to worry. In short, Mister only needs to quietly wait for the outcome of the battle between us and the Three Saints. After this, Mister can rest easy. You just need to gather your courage and do something. There won't be any danger at all, so it's a great thing. Why not? "
The Ghost Doctor pondered silently for a while, then suddenly frowned and said: "This old man heard from the Three Saints' people that the entrance to the Saint Territory is now very strict. Outsiders can't easily enter or leave. This old man can't enter the Saint Territory, and even if I did, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to move around freely."
Niu Youdao waved his hand. "You're worrying too much. I'll arrange everything for Mister. There will be people to bring Mister in, and there will naturally be people to receive Mister after you enter. Mister, don't underestimate our power, there will be people to cooperate with you. "
The Ghost Doctor's face was taut, and he was silent for a while. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said: "Fine! I hope you'll keep your word. This old man will do it for you one last time. If there's any more coercion, this old man will just fight to the death with you! "
Niu Youdao laughed heartily. "It's not that serious. Don't worry, we'll keep our word. This is the last time. But there are some things that I hope Mister will be careful about. It's best not to tell those disciples of yours what you shouldn't. Old Mister should understand that perhaps they're still a little inexperienced, and may not be able to withstand any shock. The less they know, the safer they'll be, don't you think? "
The Ghost Doctor was a little vexed. With a wave of his sleeves, he said, "Let's go, they'll be back soon."
"Farewell!" Niu Youdao cupped his hands, opened the door and strode out.
Inside the house, the Ghost Doctor let out a long sigh towards the heavens. To be swept into such a perilous situation, he really had no choice. How could he not feel rueful?
What was even more frightening was that there were quite a number of people from the Three Saints in his Medicine Valley. The other party actually dared to barge into the Medicine Valley, and even silently appear in his Medicine Hut. If one were to say that there were no spies in the Medicine Valley, even he himself would not believe it.
After exiting the Medicine Hut, Niu Youdao casually picked up an empty basket from the roadside, and casually carried it on his back. Indeed, he looked just like an odd-job worker in the Medicine Valley.
On this side of the mountain path, two people appeared on the opposite side of the mountain path. It was Wu Xin and Wu Xiang, and they were walking together in the direction of the Medicine Hut.
Niu Youdao turned a blind eye to them, and the two people opposite him did not take him seriously either.
Passing by the edge of the herb field, Niu Youdao saw the people in the Medicine Valley tending to the herbs, and calmly walked past them.
The busy people in the Medicine Valley did not pay much attention to him. In a place that had been peaceful for too long, there was basically no awareness of risk.
Niu Youdao calmly walked all the way to the seaside. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, he quietly slipped into the sea …
When Wu Xin and Wu Xiang arrived at the Medicine Hut, they saw Master sitting on a stool with his head lowered. They did not know what he was thinking about, but he seemed to be in a very low mood.
"Master!" The two fellow apprentices bowed.
The Ghost Doctor raised his head and glanced at the two of them, then got up and walked out of the door to look around. Then, he retreated back into the house, stared at the curious Wu Xin and asked, "Let me ask you, did you use the medical skills I taught you to change your appearance and create a Niu Youdao?"
Actually, there were some things that didn't need to be asked. Since the person who came was willing to reveal a secret to him, he guessed that this matter was most likely true.
"Niu Youdao?" Wu Xin stared blankly and felt strange, "Why would Master suddenly think of this person?"
The Ghost Doctor: "Answer me, yes or no?"
Wu Xin was silent for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Yes. Back in the Qi Capital, I did indeed help someone change his appearance to look like Niu Youdao. "
"You …" The Ghost Doctor pointed at him, feeling like he was going to vomit blood. He almost wanted to slap this disciple of his. Hating iron for not becoming steel, he said, "How many times have I told you not to get involved in the grievances between the major powers? Those powers are not people we can casually provoke. I told you not to get involved, why did you not listen? What kind of person is that Niu Youdao? He's an elder of the Purple Golden Cave and has quite a high position in the cultivation world. Furthermore, he holds the most powerful martial force in the Yan Secular World. Why did you provoke this matter? "
Wu Xiang looked at this person, then looked at that person. He wasn't unfamiliar with Niu Youdao. He had met him many times in the past, even at the Thatched Cottage Villa. He knew that Niu Youdao's influence in the Gold Province was rather great. That was a person who could decide the fate of countless people with a single word. The power he held in his hands was indeed not small.
Wu Xin explained, "Master, this disciple was indeed muddle-headed at that time. When this disciple met with misfortune that year, it was because of this Niu Youdao's mischief. This disciple couldn't swallow this anger, but I didn't have the ability to vent it. It just so happened that I met someone who wanted to find Niu Youdao for revenge. That's why I couldn't help but have the idea of borrowing a knife to kill someone for revenge."
"Revenge?" The Ghost Doctor couldn't help but laugh. She was so angry that she laughed. "Just look at you. You're muddle-headed. Apart from knowing a bit of medical skills, you don't know anything else. You still want to find that treacherous person who holds such a huge power to take revenge? You don't even have the chance to get close to him. How are you going to take revenge? Are you tired of living? Do you believe that one word from him can make the people of the Qi State kill you? I guarantee that you'll die quietly! "
