AST 1495 - A Treasure Map

The Xiyue Clan was also located at Linhai Street . It was just that the distance to get there was a little further . This distance couldn’t really be considered anything to stellar martial cultivators, and it took roughly about an hour of time .

For this month, this was already the third time Qing Shui personally acted . For the first two, his patients were ordinary people . One case was a single mom whose husband died early . She brought up the four kids and was so fatigued that she fell sick . The oldest child was merely eight and the youngest was two .

Not only did Qing Shui cure them, he invited them to stay here . The woman was a virtuous wife, and for her to feel more at ease in her heart, he asked her for help to prepare the Jade Buns whenever she was free .

In any case, there were many residences here available . Qing Shui was moved by her saint-like motherly love or he wouldn’t take the most care of her, given that there were so many people .

Not only that, the eldest child of the woman was eight . After seeking her approval, he directly got Tianyi to take him on as a disciple . Tianyi was naturally happy to do so . He would agree to whatever Qing Shui wanted him to do and would put in all his effort in it .

The woman was very thankful to Qing Shui . Although she was also pretty, she knew Qing Shui had no ill thoughts towards her . She truly had no way to repay the kindness Qing Shui has given her . Hence, she decided to stay in the Imperial Cusine Hall to do more things for Qing Shui .

Qing Shui wanted to pay her wages but she refused . In any case, Qing Shui didn’t insist on it because there were food and drinks here, and there were even people who could teach her sons and daughters . Because this was a medical clinic, there was no need to worry about any sickness . And Xue Nuo and Ling Fei would usually take the children out for shopping during their leisure time as well .

Ling Fei and Ying Tong was just married and they had no child yet . The children of the woman all bore a strong resemblance to her and were all extremely quick-witted .  

As for the second case where Qing Shui personally acted, the patient was an old man . He was a lonely one with no people to care for him, and he left immediately after he was cured . As the patient had nothing to his name, Qing Shui passed him some taels of silver for expenditure purposes before he left .

Qing Shui wasn’t somebody that tried to be on good terms with everyone and he didn’t want to be one anyway . Being kind to people made him feel at ease in his heart . For example, if he chose not to help the single mom back then, he would surely feel ill at ease . Since this was the case, he didn’t want to have any regrets .

Very soon, the reached the courtyard of the Xiyue Clan . This place was as luxurious as the courtyard of the Hua Clan, only slightly smaller as the Xiyue Clan has lesser people .

“Mister Qing, please follow me!”

Xiyue Kun brought Qing Shui and headed left . After three hundred metres, they came to a smaller courtyard with a few people in there .

“Mister Xiyue, I’m truly sorry . This old man is useless!”

“Mister Zeng, please take a look again . ”

“Given our friendship, if there’s the slightest bit of hope, I would surely go all out . Sadly, my capabilities are limited . ” An archaic voice filled with pity and helplessness could be heard .

An old man with a medical trunk on his back walked out from the entrance of this smaller courtyard . Accompanying him was another old man which bore a resemblance to Xiyue Kun .

“Good day to you Mister Zeng!” Xiyue Kun smiled as he greeted .

“Ai, second brother, this is?” The old man who resembled Xiyue Kun slowly asked .

The aura of this old man was stronger than Xiyue Kun and it possessed an indescribable characteristic, akin to an illusory feeling .

“Big brother, this is the divine doctor of the Imperial Cuisine Hall . He’s here to take a look at Bian’er . ” Xiyue Kun hurriedly said, introducing Qing Shui .

“Mister Qing, this is my big brother, Xiyue Lun . ”

Qing Shui was taken aback . The name of these brothers were actually Kun and Lun . He wonder if there was a Kunlun Mountains in this place . But for some reason, the names of the brothers were inverted with the elder one being named ‘Lun’, and the younger one ‘Kun’ .

“Miraculous doctor Qing, I’ve long heard of your esteemed name . Thank you for coming . ” Xiyue Lun smiled .

“I came here solely for the rewards, there’s no need to be so polite . ” Qing Shui smiled as he honestly replied .

This sentence caused Xiyue Lun to start . This was the first time he heard someone being so direct . But he quickly smiled and reply, “That’s for sure . ”

When Qing Shui walked into the room where the patient was in, a pungent medical smell assaulted his senses . Qing Shui frown and shook his head but he didn’t say anything but this action of his was noticed by Xiyue Lun .

“Miraculous doctor, is there something wrong?”

Qing Shui didn’t immediately reply to Xiyue Lun . He was staring at the patient on the bed . The patient was a man with a very weak constitution and was basically on his last breath . If this continued, he wouldn’t be able to endure much longer . At most, only half a month of his lifespan remained .

“We have no way to cure him and can only try to extend his lifespan . However, at this point, it’s already no longer possible to delay death . Half a month, he only has half a month at most to live . ” Qing Shui glanced at Xiyue Lun and spoke .

Xiyue Lun already knew this . The son he favored most was none other than Xiyue Bing . Sadly, his son became in such a state . Having the white-haired one to send the black-haired ones to death, was the most tragic thing in the world . Xiyue Lun sighed and, at that instant, he seemed to become several times older than before .

“Mister, do you have any way to cure my son?” Xiyue Lun actually didn’t really have much hope . Through these years, he has searched for many doctors and alchemists numbering around 8,000 to 10,000, yet none of them could do anything . But for this Qing Shui, his younger brother Xiyue Kun had to go to the Imperial Cusine Hall three times before he could meet until Qing Shui .

Qing Shui smiled, “Yes!”

Xiyue Lun started for a moment before returning his attention back to Qing Shui . “You really have ways to cure my son?”

“Naturally . I’ve never spoken lies before . You will know soon enough . ” Since Qing Shui came all the way here, he naturally had to cure the patient .

Qing Shui had long gathered the info about the Xiyue Clan . If the Xiyue Clan was a great clan of villainy, Qing Shui wouldn’t have come . Unless of course, the rewards offered were too tempting . But even then, Qing Shui wouldn’t have cure the patient completely .

If Qing Shui acted personally, there would naturally be no problems . Although he wasn’t able to let Xiyue Bing immediately recover to his peak state, he would still be in a much better condition than before…

Two hours later, Qing Shui stopped . “Recuperate well, he should recover to his peak roughly a month from now . ”

Xiyue Lun stared at Qing Shui in disbelief . All the people he invited before had judged that his son was dead . Who would have thought that this Qing Shui actually managed to cure him?

“Miraculous doctor, he’s truly a miraculous doctor!” After a long time, Xiyue Lun spoke excitedly in an incomparably joyful manner . He wasn’t very clear of how strong the medical skills of a miraculous doctor was .

“I should get going . ” Qing Shui smiled . The meaning behind these words were clear . I’ve saved the patient, it’s time for me to earn those rewards you promised .

Xiyue Kun hurriedly spoke up at this moment . “I know that Mister Qing wouldn’t be interested in ordinary items . How about this?”

Xiyue Kun passed over a beast parchment scroll to Qing Shui with a map inscribed on it .

It was a treasure map!
