Chapter 78: Stunned

Although he treated patients and their families with great kindness, Zhuge Baiqi, having apprenticed under a renowned master in the capital, harbored a certain pride deep within his heart. In the entire city of Jiang, no one dared to criticize or comment on his prescriptions.

Yet now, a young man not even thirty had the audacity to call his approach to prescribing medicine outdated—this was sheer insolence!

At this thought, he immediately frowned...

“Master Zhao, everything I say is the truth, not fabricated from nothing,” Xun Feng, though somewhat intimidated before a true physician, still mustered his courage to speak.

After drawing lots, the competition began. To everyone's surprise, the first contestant was He Zhang—the very same who had advanced first in the preliminary round. No one expected him to take the stage first again in the semifinals. While others were puzzled, he remained as formidable as ever.

She wandered around the palace walls, soon losing her way. Intending to seek help at the Imperial Medical Bureau, she sighed—she had never been there before. Su Xiling regretted not bringing Ziyun along. Left with no other choice, she asked for directions as she went, and finally arrived at the Imperial Medical Bureau.

This world is rife with injustice; for a company commander to end up with such soldiers was truly a stroke of misfortune.

Huo Wei glanced at Su Jingran with a mischievous smile, then strode forward: “Sister Ling, what are you saying? I've always missed you, wishing I could visit every day. But this isn’t like home—we can’t just come and go as we please here.”

The legend of the Demon Sword tells of an object from beyond the heavens, terrifying in its power. Even Jun Mochen could not destroy it, but only sealed it deep beneath Mount Buzhou in the center of the Nine Provinces.

“Greetings, Senior Thunder Emperor.” As Luo Qingcheng met the Thunder Emperor’s gaze, she was instantly overwhelmed by a tremendous pressure. He was a powerhouse of the Divine Sea Realm—an existence akin to a god.

Jian Feiyang pointed into the air, and at once a dreadful force radiated from him, lifting him skyward. With his current cultivation, he had essentially mastered flight.

“Usually, the Ten Thousand Treasures Chamber of Commerce wouldn’t leak such information in advance. Yet this auction seems different. Rumor has it there’s a unique manual up for bidding, and the news has already spread. The starting price is exorbitant, but no one knows exactly what kind of manual it is,” Suning remarked.

After hearing the Green Snake King’s words, Chenxi wasn’t particularly surprised. The Chaos God had once told him to go elsewhere to help. Even if he was sent to another place, it didn’t matter. He had come from Earth, after all; wherever he lived, wasn’t it all the same?

Liu Qinglian was extremely busy, but today, no matter how packed his schedule, he made time to attend, bringing along several professional photographers he had hired to record the entire ceremony.

Though Fu Duoduo didn’t fully trust Yu Shiyi, his words did reassure her somewhat.

Captain Wu Hongguo nodded with satisfaction at the team leader’s performance. Pointing at Ling Tian, he said coolly, “This man is making trouble here—not only did he damage property, but also threatened me. Team leader, handle him as you see fit.” From Wu Hongguo’s tone, one would think the police station belonged to his family.

Chunying felt that Fu Duoduo’s words carried a hidden meaning, yet on the surface seemed ordinary. Suspicious, she agreed and returned to Fortunate Longevity Pavilion to report everything to Yu Shiyi.

The fiery Ye Lirui pressed the supple Yue Yidie hard against the wall, then slid his other arm from her waist beneath her thin garment, roughly cupping the fullness of her delicate form, enticing and irresistible.

Only then did Shen Boling realize he was still staring at Qi Kexue’s exposed back. Though now mostly covered, the glimpse of bare skin left him imagining what lay beneath. His face flushed with heat; hurriedly, he turned away, but could not control his wandering thoughts.
