Chapter 66
The other party's generous posture let Han Li know that as long as the conditions he mentioned were not too excessive, the other party would likely agree to them. In this way, his original target could be easily achieved.
However, this kind of generous treatment was rare even in the entire Seven Mysteries Sect. It was evident that the high-level figures also knew deeply what a divine doctor with superb medical skills meant to people in the Jianghu.
Han Li was not polite either; he immediately requested that God Hand Valley be handed over to him alone to live in, and he did not hope for outsiders to disturb his research on medical skills in the valley.
Such a condition, which could not even be considered a condition, was naturally agreed to by Sect Master Ma without hesitation. Perhaps in order to win Han Li over, the other party even took the initiative to propose sending a young and beautiful maid to Han Li to serve his daily life.
Han Li was momentarily stirred by this unexpected bargaining chip and almost agreed, but after calming down and thinking about the many secrets he carried, he still painfully refused.
Han Li's actions actually made Sect Master Ma quite admire him, looking at him with new eyes, and he kept saying that he was young and promising, not addicted to female beauty, and that if he had a daughter, he would definitely marry her to him, and other such words.
These words made Han Li unable to laugh or cry; it wasn't that he didn't like female beauty, it was just that he couldn't right now.
And so, the entire God Hand Valley became Han Li's private territory, and outsiders were generally not allowed to intrude at will.
For this reason, Han Li even specially placed a large bell at the entrance of the valley. No matter who wanted to see Han Li, as long as they rang this bell, Han Li would immediately come out of the valley to meet them. This strange rule was boldly set up by Han Li beside the bell, and even some middle and high-level personnel could not avoid it.
And the reason Han Li set such a bizarre rule was entirely to prevent the last shred of possibility that the secret of the bottle would be leaked. As long as no one intruded into the valley, Han Li could ensure that the heaven-defying miracle of the bottle would not be known by a second person.
At first, this rule didn't matter to low-level disciples, but it made many high-level people very dissatisfied, thinking that Han Li was a bit too arrogant and didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Even Doctor Mo didn't have such airs; how could he, a mere apprentice who had just finished his apprenticeship, dare to be so presumptuous.
But when Han Li pulled a certain high-level protector who had suffered heavy injuries and was in critical condition back from the edge of death and completely cured him, all the clamor disappeared without a trace, and no one mentioned it again.
No one would offend a divine doctor who could potentially save their life several times over for a trivial matter. This act of ringing the bell to get an audience was naturally considered by them to be some kind of strange temper that a divine doctor should have.
As the days passed, even the several Sect Masters gradually accepted this rule. When they wanted to seek medical treatment, they would also send someone to politely ring the large bell, and then respectfully invite Han Li over.
Just like that, Han Li gradually became a legend and an outlier in the Seven Mysteries Sect.
To say he was a high-level figure! He had no high-level duties and held no power. To say he was a low-level disciple! But who had ever seen such a big-shot disciple? Even the several Sect Masters would respectfully call him Doctor Han when they saw him. There were not many people who dared to call Han Li by his name directly anymore.
Of course, this did not include our Li Li Feiyu, Senior Brother Li.
Li Li Feiyu still maintained his cold image in front of others, but as soon as he saw Han Li, he immediately changed into a devil-may-care appearance, unceremoniously calling him by his name directly, and did not become distant and respectful like other disciples such as Fatty Wang because of Han Li's change in status.
However, this actually made Han Li feel somewhat comforted; after all, the taste of being a loner was not very pleasant.
Whenever he thought of Li Li Feiyu's playful expression, Han Li couldn't help but associate it with another bitter, pumpkin-like face.
Not long ago, he unexpectedly saw another acquaintance he had traveled into the mountains with back then, the current core disciple of the Seven Absolutes Hall—Wu Yan. He was suffering from a strange illness that was neither heavy nor light, but had been difficult to cure by other quack doctors, and he was tortured quite a bit. He had to rely on Sect Master Ma's face to come and seek treatment from the divine doctor Han.
It had to be said that Wu Yan's memory was still quite good. When he saw the famous Doctor Han, he recognized his companion from the same carriage that day—Han Li—at a glance. The surprise and strange look on his face made Han Li remember it vividly even now; after all, his attitude toward Han Li back then could not be called very good, and was even somewhat malicious.
Seeing Wu Yan's awkward appearance, Han Li found it quite funny in his heart and naturally would not refuse to treat him because of this. But in order not to smash his own signboard, Han Li specially increased the dosage of the medicine he prescribed, making Wu Yan recover from his illness within just two days. It was just that the other party suffered a bit more pain during the recovery process because the medicine was too strong, which could be considered a small punishment from Han Li for his malicious attitude back then.
It seemed Han Li was not as magnanimous as he thought he was; in fact, he was still quite vengeful.
Just like that, Han Li slowly completely replaced Doctor Mo's status on the mountain, and even went a step further.
Now, every day, he would take out the small bottle and place it in an open area in the valley, letting it brew magical green liquid every seven or eight days to accelerate the growth of rare medicinal herbs with long years, and then carefully prepare various finished medicines.
A very small part of this was used on people who came to seek medical treatment; the majority was taken by Han Li himself to nourish his essence and refine his Qi, pushing the cultivation of the Everlasting Spring Technique.
Han Li gently shifted his body lying in the grand armchair, making himself more comfortable.
Although he was sitting in Doctor Mo's grand armchair, this was not Doctor Mo's room, but Han Li's own residence. It was just that he had unceremoniously taken all the items he thought he could use from Doctor Mo's room and moved them into his own room. With his current status, even if someone saw his disrespectful actions toward Doctor Mo, they wouldn't do anything to him; after all, in the eyes of others, Han Li's importance now already exceeded Doctor Mo's. People were still very realistic!
In fact, Doctor Mo's residence was much larger than Han Li's, and moving there to live would be more appropriate.
Unfortunately, Han Li always felt that living there was a bit strange. After all, Doctor Mo's death had a great deal to do with him. Blatantly living in the room of a deceased person who died at his own hands still made him feel a bit cold and not quite right. It was still more reassuring and comfortable to live in his own doghouse.
However, whenever he thought of Doctor Mo, Han Li naturally could not forget the depressing matter of still being controlled by a dead person.
During this period, he carefully checked his body inside and out several times, and there really was a trace of unfathomable cold, yin-like substance lurking in his dantian. Han Li tried taking "Clear Spirit Powder" and other various methods to expel poison, but unfortunately, none of them worked. It seemed the long journey a year later was unavoidable.
