In a residential compound in Jiangjing, as soon as Xu Miaolin returned home, Chu Yunyun handed him an envelope and said, “The letter arrived. They all know that we’re living together, so they only send one letter this time. I haven’t read it yet. Take a look.”
“Is it the result?” Xu Miaolin paused and took the envelope from Chu Yunyun.
“Yes.” Chu Yunyun nodded.
Xu Miaolin took a deep breath and murmured, “Hiss… I hope it won’t delay.”
He immediately opened the envelope and took out a notice.
He took a closer look.
There were only several sentences in the notice. The first one was a pile of data— According to the vote of the 50 highly-skilled doctors and the three holy doctors, 30 votes were in favor of the postponement of the Chinese Medicine Conference while 23 votes were against it. The total votes were 30: 23.
The results of the vote were obvious. Therefore, in response to the needs of most people, the Chinese Medicine Conference this year would be postponed for 2 years!
There were two squares below.
On the left, there were names of 23 people who were against the postponement. On the right, there were names of 30 people who were in favor of it.
Everything was written clearly.
“Alas…” Seeing the final result, Xu Miaolin couldn’t help letting out a long sigh.
He truly didn’t know how to inform Fang Qiu of this result.
Although he had tried his best, things still went against his wishes. He could forcibly change the minds of some people he knew, but he couldn’t change everyone.
“Is it still delayed?” Chu Yunyun came over and glanced at the notice. Then she frowned and said, “It’s settled now. There’s no chance to change it. You’d better think about what to do next.”
“What else can I do?” Xu Miaolin pondered for a long while and sighed bitterly, “I can only call Fang Qiu.”
After saying that, he gritted his teeth, took out his phone, and dialed Fang Qiu’s number.
However, he couldn’t get through.
Helplessly, Xu Miaolin could only send a message to Fang Qiu, saying, “Come to see me quickly when you receive this message.”
In a cave deep in the mountain forest, with the addition of the Ambergris Grass’s energy, the pain Fang Qiu felt instantly decreased a lot. With the nourishment of the Ambergris Grass’s energy, the pain finally disappeared completely.
Fang Qiu also fully immersed himself in a comfortable sense of breakthrough. The thunder and lightning filled the sky. The wind was howling while the frost and snow were falling heavily. No matter how the weather outside the cave changed, Fang Qiu could not feel it at all.
It was as though he was meditating.
After an unknown period of time, ultimately, when the anomaly of the world outside the cave completely disappeared, Fang Qiu, who had been cultivating with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes.
He walked out of the cave.
“Phew…” Fang Qiu took a deep breath and felt the mighty power surging all over his body as if he had infinite strength. This feeling was entirely different from the breakthrough before as if he were a different person with a brand-new body.
As he gently clenched his fist, Fang Qiu could easily feel that his fist contained tremendous power which was enough to split mountains and shatter rocks.
“The ninth class with one opened meridian!”
As expected, he managed to merge two breakthroughs into one.
After this breakthrough, the anxiety in Fang Qiu’s heart finally eased up a little.
The Ren Meridian had been recultivated successfully.
Next, he only had one meridian left—Governing Meridian. And he could successfully recultivate to become a guru!
Only after recultivating to the Guru Realm could he begin to cultivate again and head toward the stage where he obtained two flowers in his Dantian!
Although he was thrilled, Fang Qiu still remained composed. In the cave, he completely stabilized his strength as a ninth-class Martial Superior with one opened meridian. Therefore, with only one thought, the surging power in his body quietly died down.
He took out his phone and casually cast a glance.
Fang Qiu found that it had been a day and now it was six o’clock in the morning of the next day.
“Mr. Xu?” As he checked the time, Fang Qiu also saw the text message sent by Xu Miaolin, so he immediately tapped on it to have a look.
“Is it the result of the Chinese Medicine Conference?” Although he was anxious, Fang Qiu didn’t call Xu Miaolin immediately. Since Xu Miaolin asked him to meet face to face, it meant that he couldn’t explain it clearly on the phone in a short time.
After reading the message, Fang Qiu immediately opened the map on his phone, located his position, and then found the direction of the nearest big city. He didn’t want to go back to fight with the people of the Nirvana Organization, so he directly flew out in a flash.
While rushing to the nearby city, Fang Qiu booked a flight ticket to Jiangjing with his mobile phone.
Shortly afterward, Fang Qiu arrived in the city, took the ticket from the airport, boarded the plane, and returned to Jiangjing.
At 8:30 a.m., Fang Qiu returned to Jiangjing and immediately called Xu Miaolin.
“Where are you, kid?” As soon as the phone got through, Xu Miaolin’s voice was heard.
“I’ve just arrived in Jiangjing. Where are you, Mr. Xu?” asked Fang Qiu.
Xu Miaolin said, “I’ll wait for you at the library.”
“Okay.” Fang Qiu nodded and hung up the phone.
After leaving the airport, Fang Qiu got into the taxi he booked in advance and rushed all the way to school.
He then came to the library.
Xu Miaolin was indeed in the reading room.
“Mr. Xu.” Entering the reading room, Fang Qiu called out respectfully.
“Yes.” Xu Miaolin nodded with a grim look.
Seeing his expression, Fang Qiu sensed that something was wrong. He frowned and asked, “What’s the result?”
“It’s postponed.” Xu Miaolin heaved a sigh, stretched out two fingers, and said, “For two years.”
“What?” Fang Qiu’s expression changed dramatically. He gritted his teeth and raged with regret, “Why did I have to do that? I shouldn’t have written a book!”
Two years!
Would the old master be able to hold on for two more years?
If the conference couldn’t be held on time, he would have to resort to violence!
He would bring everyone to the conference even if he had to tie them up.
A cold light flashed across Fang Qiu’s eyes.
“It’s not your fault.” Xu Miaolin hurriedly comforted him. “No one expected this. Even if you didn’t write a book, we might encounter other things that postpone the conference. Now because of your book, all the highly-skilled doctors in the country take you seriously. This is a good thing for you.”
“What’s so good about it?” Fang Qiu felt bitter.
He knew that Xu Miaolin was consoling him. Although Xu Miaolin’s words were really comforting and could calm people down, this Chinese Medicine Conference was too important for Fang Qiu, so he couldn’t suppress his anger.
Of course, he was angry at himself.
Xu Miaolin said again, “In fact, even if the Chinese Medicine Conference is delayed, it doesn’t mean that we can’t do anything. At least we have another way to try.”
Fang Qiu hurriedly asked, “What is it?”
“Now, there is still a glimmer of hope.” Xu Miaolin pondered for a moment and said, “Since the Chinese Medicine Conference has been postponed, why don’t you directly bypass it? Why do you have to wait for the conference? Aren’t people all obsessed with your books now? Aren’t they all talking about your books?”
“This is your biggest advantage now. We can completely use this as an excuse and say that we want to make more content public, and then I will come out to vouch for you so that we can summon all the highly-skilled doctors!” Speaking of this, Xu Miaolin nodded and added, “In this way, although the Chinese Medicine Conference isn’t held, we can also gather the Chinese Medicine doctors to have a meeting.”
As Fang Qiu heard that, his eyes lit up.
He knew that Xu Miaolin would be making a great contribution if he vouched for him. At least, he would risk his reputation. If they truly summoned all the highly-skilled doctors and told them that he was looking for a cure, Xu Miaolin’s reputation would be greatly affected, and no one would believe what he said in the future.
In order to solve this problem, Fang Qiu himself had to create more valuable content. At least, he had to make all the highly-skilled doctors in the country feel that it was worth a trip!
Obviously, this was the only way out for now.
Before that, Fang Qiu still had the most important thing to do, which was to contact the old master. The reason why he summoned all the highly-skilled doctors was to let them diagnose the old master. If the protagonist was not here, how could they work out a cure?
But the tricky thing was that the last time he saw the old master, he said that he would only meet him when Fang Qiu had only two flowers in his Dantian. Now, Fang Qiu still hadn’t met the old master’s requirements yet. He didn’t know if the old master would show up at this time.
“What do you think?” Xu Miaolin’s question made Fang Qiu come back from his deep thoughts.
“Let’s do it this way.” Fang Qiu immediately nodded and said, “Yes. However, there’s one more important thing I have to do. I can only do it according to your plan if I manage to do that.”
“Okay, I’ll be waiting for your news.” Xu Miaolin nodded at once.
After talking with Xu Miaolin, Fang Qiu left the library and came to the dormitory which he had not returned for a long time.
After thinking about it for a long time, he still didn’t know how to find the old master. Ultimately, when there was no other way, Fang Qiu made a decision.
He thought that the old master must be doing something significant, and as long as it was of vital importance, it must be related to the government.
Therefore, he asked Li Ji to help him check on it.
It did not matter even if they found out how he acquired his martial arts skills!
He directly dialed Li Ji’s number.
Fang Qiu explained the matter.
Only then did Li Ji realize that the master behind Fang Qiu was the old master!
As for everyone, this matter had always been a mystery. Even if the military and Fang Qiu had a profound cooperative relationship, they didn’t know where he got his ability as a guru.
After checking for so long, they found nothing.
He didn’t expect the source to be like this.
Now the truth came out.
Li Ji felt that it was of great importance, so he was ready to report it to higher-ups immediately and ask for permission for investigation.
“Wait.” Hearing that, Fang Qiu immediately stopped him.
“Hmm?” Li Ji was a little confused.
“I met a man from the Nirvana Organization when I got the eighth Heaven Treasure. This was originally a trap they set up for the Sword Sect, but they didn’t expect that I would come in.”
Fang Qiu told him what he had learned.
After hearing that, Li Ji frowned more deeply.
It was another big deal.
It was related to Sword Sect and Nivanra Organization, but it wasn’t something he could deal with. Hence, he had to report it to the superiors as well.
Li Ji said seriously, “Thank you for the information. I will try my best to help you.”
“Okay, thank you.” Fang Qiu thanked him and then hung up the phone.
What he could do now was to wait for news.
He thought to himself, “Old master, where are you?”
Fang Qiu looked at the copper coin hanging on his bed, lost in thought.
He stayed in the dormitory for a whole day.
After Fang Qiu finished reading all the ancient books of Chinese Medicine he collected, Li Ji called.
“Any news?” asked Fang Qiu hastily.
