Chapter 65

Han Li lay back in the grand armchair that Doctor Mo used to sit in, holding a scroll with "Classic of Eternal Life" written on the cover, though its actual contents were the oral formulas for the Everlasting Spring Technique. He was reading with great interest, exceptionally absorbed.

This book had often been held in Doctor Mo's hands, read over and over without tiring; such abnormal behavior had once made Han Li feel somewhat strange. Now that he had discovered the secret within, he finally understood: he wasn't reading about the Dao of longevity at all, but was clearly pondering the oral formulas of the Everlasting Spring Technique! It seemed Doctor Mo had not given up on the matter of his own inability to cultivate magic power, nor had he completely believed Yu Yu Zitong's words regarding spiritual roots, but had instead been silently contemplating it on his own all along.

This secret manual was discovered by Han Li inside a hidden compartment along with other items. The book not only included the oral formulas for the first six layers he had practiced in the past, but also recorded the cultivation techniques for the final two layers that Han Li had never seen before. This unexpected discovery made Han Li feel excited for a long time.

When Han Li learned that what he had been cultivating was actually the legendary magic power capable of summoning wind and rain, he became even more eager for the subsequent techniques of the Everlasting Spring Technique.

After all, who wouldn't want to be an immortal who lives forever!

At this moment, the sun was high in the sky. Warm sunlight spilled in through the open skylight, shining on Han Li's body, making him, as he read, comfortably squint his eyes into thin slits. Coupled with his slanted, reclining posture, Han Li appeared exceptionally lazy.

Han Li slightly raised his head, looked at the skylight, and felt it was a bit too dazzling.

He casually used the open book to cover his face, shielding himself from the bright, white sunlight.

Then, feeling the darkness before his eyes, his heart felt much more comfortable. This made Han Li's spirit involuntarily perk up, and he silently memorized the seventh-layer oral formula once more.

He had recently sensed that because of the continuous consumption of spirit medicines, his Everlasting Spring Technique once again showed signs of a breakthrough. Before long, he would enter the seventh-layer realm. Being able to understand the lower-layer techniques a bit earlier would be of no small benefit to him in breaking through his bottleneck.

Now, more than half a year had passed since the day Doctor Mo attempted to seize his body.

On the second day after that event, in order to cover up the signs of Doctor Mo's death, Han Li personally imitated Doctor Mo's handwriting, wrote a fake letter claiming he was returning to his hometown to visit relatives, and handed it to the sect's patrol Elder under Doctor Mo's name.

In the letter, he unceremoniously borrowed Doctor Mo's tone, claiming he had inherited all of Doctor Mo's medical skills and could now practice independently to treat others' illnesses and injuries. As for Doctor Mo himself, because the journey back to his hometown was long, he truly did not know when he would return. Therefore, the letter requested the several Sect Masters to allow him to temporarily fulfill the duties of the doctor until Doctor Mo himself returned.

After the letter was submitted, the several Elders in charge clearly did not have the slightest suspicion. Because Doctor Mo had often stayed away from the mountain for long periods in the past to collect medicinal herbs, although he held the title of a consultant in the Seven Mysteries Sect, because he had saved Sect Master Wang's life, he was essentially a guest consultant and was very free.

However, the several Elders still held a reserved attitude toward the claim in the letter that Han Li had inherited all of Doctor Mo's medical skills, and were somewhat half-believing.

In the past, although Doctor Mo occasionally treated low-level disciples for minor illnesses like colds, fevers, or knife and gunshot wounds, because his medical skills were truly superb, the people he was responsible for were mainly middle and high-level figures like Hall Masters and Elders. As for other disciples, most still had to go to the other several doctors on the mountain for treatment.

Therefore, at first, the several Elders did not let Han Li immediately take over Doctor Mo's duties, but instead had him first treat low-level disciples for illnesses and injuries, intending to test Han Li's true level.

Han Li did not care at all about the high-level figures' doubts regarding his medical skills. He had always held the attitude that it didn't matter who he treated. The reason he proposed to take over Doctor Mo's work was simply because he had taken a fancy to the secluded and quiet nature of God Hand Valley and the not-so-small medicinal garden within the valley.

If he could continue to stay in the valley and have the entire valley under his sole control, then he could blatantly use the mysterious small bottle in the valley to massively accelerate the growth of rare medicinal herbs without having to worry about others discovering this secret.

And although this small valley was currently only being used by him, if Doctor Mo did not return for a long time, who knew if those Sect Masters and Elders would have a sudden whim to take it back.

Therefore, in order to demonstrate his superb medical skills, Han Li was exceptionally diligent when treating the disciples, not hesitating to secretly use the large amount of precious medicinal herbs he accelerated the growth of every day. Thus, under the effect of his already not-weak medical skills and the large amount of rare medicinal herbs, he achieved the human miracle of almost curing every patient he treated.

In this way, just as he had expected, his reputation for bringing the dead back to life was like a thunderclap on a clear day, rapidly causing a sensation throughout the entire Seven Mysteries Sect. Everyone on the mountain knew that the sect had produced another young divine doctor with superb medical skills. This divine doctor's medical skills could be called miraculous and unfathomable. Under his treatment, whether it was external injuries, internal injuries, or difficult and miscellaneous diseases, he would have you completely recovered in at most three days. Compared to that divine doctor, Doctor Mo, his medical skills were only better, not worse.

In fact, Han Li's medical skills were still far inferior to Doctor Mo's, but Doctor Mo could not possibly have so many rare medicinal herbs to squander at will. From the perspective of recovery results, he was naturally far inferior to Han Li.

Just like that, when Han Li once again made a disciple who had suffered heavy injuries jump around within a few days, the big figures above could no longer sit still. Just one day later, they sent someone to invite him over.

The person he met this time was actually the Vice Sect Master Ma, whom he had met once before at Bone Refining Cliff.

This Sect Master Ma clearly had long since forgotten Han Li, this once inconspicuous registered disciple, completely. Therefore, as soon as he saw him, he clearly indicated that he was willing to let Han Li take over Doctor Mo's work and enjoy all the original treatment Doctor Mo had. Of course, the title of consultant could not be given to him yet, because Han Li was truly too young, only sixteen or seventeen years old, and it was truly impossible to make other consultants feel convinced. However, his actual monthly salary would be issued to him according to the standard of a consultant.

Finally, Sect Master Ma also indicated that if there was anything else he was dissatisfied with, he could just bring it up face-to-face, and they would definitely handle it accordingly.
