Chapter 28 The Secret of Longevity
Mo Juren rescued Wang Juechu who was nearly surrounded and killed, and the two of them formed a life-and-death friendship, so later Wang Juechu invited Mo Juren to serve as a worshiper in the Qixuan Sect.
After Mo Juren arrived at the Qixuan Gate, he was often busy with his own affairs. Fortunately, Wang Juechu did not interfere too much and had great trust in Mo Juren and his medical skills.
Even when he said he wanted to leave Qixuanmen in his capacity as Doctor Mo, he was allowed to do so and no one tried to force him to stay.
Therefore, Mo Juren still admired Wang Juechu's character very much.
The two sat down in the hall as host and guest. It was the first time that Wang Juechu met the young but famous "Divine Doctor Han".
Perhaps he had heard about the words and deeds of "Dr. Han" a long time ago, so he was not surprised by the mask on Mo Juren's face.
The two of them drank tea and exchanged greetings, first reminiscing about their "master, Doctor Mo".
Mo Juren couldn't help feeling embarrassed when he heard the other party praising "Doctor Mo" in front of him.
After forcing himself to endure the pleasantries, Mo Juren went straight to the point and said,
"I think the Qixuan Sect has a strict system and a neat structure. From the Sect Master to the Elders, Hall Masters, and Dharma Protectors, everyone has their own duties. The inner and outer disciples follow the example of their superiors and are well trained. It is indeed worthy of being an ancient sect that has been passed down for more than a hundred years."
Wang Juechu kept giving in.
"No, no, I didn't expect that Doctor Han is so young, but he has such insight. He is really a hero at a young age."
Mo Juren continued,
"These are what Master Mo said back then, and I just keep them in mind. Before Master Mo left, he mentioned something about the Seven Mysterious Sect in a vague way. After I remembered it, I felt that only the Sect Master could be exposed to such things. I wonder if you can help me solve my doubts?"
Wang Juechu took a sip of tea and said slowly,
"Thanks to Brother Mo and Doctor Han for their trust. If you have any questions, just ask."
Seeing that Wang Juechu seemed easy to talk to, Mo Juren asked directly,
"I heard that the Qixuan Sect once dominated the entire Jingzhou two hundred years ago. I wonder if the sect... has ever dealt with immortal cultivators?"
Wang Juechu was shocked when he heard this. His eyes slightly closed and his gaze turned cold. He looked at Mo Juren vigilantly.
Wang Juechu saw that Mo Juren had a serious expression and didn't seem to be talking casually, so he stood up and walked down from the main seat. He first walked around to the front door and silently sent away the disciples guarding the gate.
After he walked away, Fang returned to the main seat, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly,
"If it weren't for the fact that our teacher and I had a life-or-death friendship, asking this question would have brought disaster upon Doctor Han!"
Seeing him speak so seriously, Mo Juren knew there must be something else going on, so he frowned and said,
"This is very important to both Master Mo and me. I hope you can help me solve this problem."
"This matter concerns the secret of our Qixuan Sect's great changes over the past century. Do you, Doctor Han, really want to be involved in it?" Wang Juechu said solemnly.
Mo Juren put down the teacup, knowing that he had come to the right place today. He could indeed find out about the immortal cultivators in the Qixuan Sect!
After thinking about it, I felt that in order to achieve today's goal, I still had to throw out a few baits first. So I remembered an old incident several years ago, and a plan came to my mind, so I answered,
"Master Mo said that he was invited by the sect master to come to the Sunset Peak Hall to treat three mysterious patients three years ago. At that time, he was helpless and failed to live up to the sect master's trust. But after years of thinking, Master Mo has become very confident. Now he has passed on the secret recipe that is suitable for the disease to me in its entirety."
Wang Juechu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he stood up suddenly, saying in surprise,
"Are you serious? Brother Mo left behind some secret recipe. Please take it out, Doctor Han." In fact, the real situation was that three years ago, Wang Juechu saw that Mo Juren was a great doctor and was often looking for medicines to replenish qi and nourish essence, so he thought that Mo Juren had some secret to health preservation.
So they invited him to Sunset Peak, hoping to recuperate the health of the three elderly elders and extend their lifespans.
Those three were actually the previous elders of the Qixuan Sect who had cultivated their martial arts to the pinnacle. Although they had great skills, they were too old and their life span was coming to an end.
They claimed to the outside world that they were in seclusion, but in fact they were just using various methods to keep themselves alive and trying to reduce any unnecessary activities so that they could play their trump card at the critical moment.
As long as they don't die, they will be like a stabilizing force, allowing the Qixuan Sect to have the ultimate combat power to face powerful enemies.
That's why the leader of the Qixuan Sect attaches great importance to this. As long as they are allowed to move around for a little longer, the Qixuan Sect will feel more confident.
But at that time Mo Juren did not want to reveal his secret. The secret recipe he got from Yu Zitong could only make up for abnormal damage and might not be effective for normal aging. So he said he had no other choice, just prescribed some tonics and left.
Now that he has all kinds of precious medicines in his hands, he might only need a few nourishing pills to help mortals prolong their lives. That's why he has the confidence to pretend that "Doctor Mo" left behind a secret recipe.
Seeing Wang Juechu so anxious, Mo Juren took his time to drink his tea and said slowly,
"Master, don't worry. This secret recipe is related to why I asked to see you today. Master Mo not only prescribed the recipe, but also taught the secret method. We need to re-diagnose the pulses of the three elders and tailor the prescriptions according to their martial arts characteristics. Master Mo said that as long as the right medicine is used, it will be easy for the three elders to extend their lives by three years!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Juechu stood up again in shock and said in amazement,
"Extending my life by three years!? Are you kidding me, Doctor Han?!"
Originally, they thought they should be thankful that they could go out and move around for a few more days, but Mo Juren asked to extend his life by three years. Wouldn't that be equivalent to letting the three elders escape from the predicament of seclusion?
If the three old guys were allowed to move freely, what would this mean to the Qixuan Sect? Wang Juechu knew it best. Thinking of this, his face turned red with excitement.
Mo Juren smiled and said,
"Master, don't doubt it. Master Mo left the secret recipe to me for a reason. If I didn't have confidence in Master Mo, how could I dare to visit him and cause trouble?"
The Qixuan Sect has recently been involved in a conflict with the Wild Wolf Gang. Although the Wild Wolf Gang is currently powerful, it is precisely because of the Qixuan Sect's deep foundation, whether obvious or hidden, that it is able to face the challenge of the Wild Wolf Gang with ease.
Mo Juren also understood this, so he was not afraid that Wang Juechu would not take the bait.
However, compared to Wang Juechu, the three people in seclusion would probably want his "secret recipe" more.
Then he continued,
"Of course, this secret recipe is not easy to come by. Master Mo once said that if necessary, the secret recipe can be used to exchange for the promise of the Seven Mysterious Sect. Everyone will trade fairly and each will get what they need. There will definitely be no other consequences."
