Chapter 33: The Divine Doctor Xue Rang

  Qianjiang City is under the jurisdiction of Baichuan Prefecture, located in the southwest of Baichuan Prefecture. The area has continuous mountains and numerous rivers, with many steep and scenic landscapes.

  At this time, in front of the majestic and magnificent city gate, there were three people supporting each other, standing on the main road in front of the city gate, looking up at the three ancient and elegant big characters on the six-zhang-high city gate.

  These three people were naturally Du Feiyun and his family. The three of them left Baishi Town, traveled for two days, and finally arrived at Qianjiang City, over a hundred miles away.

  Du Feiyun and Du Xiangqing had lived in Baishi Town since they were young, never setting foot outside of it. This was the first time in their lives that they saw what Qianjiang City looked like.

  Du Juanqing and Du Shi looked around the city wall with great interest, gazing at the surging crowds entering and exiting under the wide city gate, their faces filled with a hint of joy and relief.

  Leaving Baishi Town and arriving at Qianjiang City, Du Feiyun also let out a sigh of relief, feeling delighted in his heart.

  Here is the translation:

  Here, no one knows them, and no one will look down on them. No one will bully them. The Qins and the Bais, all the Refining Stage cultivators who posed a threat to him are dead.

  Now he can finally live a carefree life with his mother and sister in Qianjiang City.

  …………

  Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. The life of Du's family of three was as calm and peaceful as the entire city of Qianjiang, without any ripples.

  After entering Qianjiang City, Du Feiyun first led his mother and sister to find an inn to rest, and then went out to inquire about finding a place to live.

  He is no stranger to renting a house and has selected the most suitable one among dozens of houses in just two days.

  This house is located in the north of the city, on Qingquan Lane. The environment is quiet and refreshing, not as bustling and noisy as the city center, nor as desolate and dilapidated as the outer city.

  This is a separate residence with a small courtyard, four rooms, and the rent is only four taels of silver per month, which is still quite suitable.

  For half a month, Du Feiyun almost never left his house, staying inside and cultivating in seclusion.

  He was originally going out to purchase daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil and salt, but unfortunately the Nine Dragon Cauldron began to torment him again, so he couldn't get away from it. These trivial matters could only be taken care of by Du Huaiqing.

  Just like last time, the Nine Dragon Cauldron had depleted his stored yuan energy. Once it was recalled into his body, it would frantically absorb his yuan energy as if starving and thirsty.

  In this half month, Du Fei Yun had been staying in the house to cultivate and accumulate yuan force to supplement the storage of the Nine Dragon Cauldron.

  At first, Du Fei Yun only had the strength of the Refining Body stage, and it would take a month to fill the Nine Dragon Cauldron with yuan energy. Now that he has successfully advanced to the first layer of the Refining Qi stage, it will only take half a month to replenish the yuan energy in the Nine Dragon Cauldron.

  The mighty and against-the-sky effect of the Nine Dragon Cauldron is beyond doubt, Du Fei Yun has a deep understanding of it, but its shortcomings and inconveniences are also very obvious.

  After use, the yuan force stored in Jiulong Ding will be consumed, and it cannot be used again. Moreover, at least half a month's recovery time is required, which is the greatest inconvenience.

  Du Fei Yun understood that the Nine Dragon Cauldron could only be used as a trump card, to save his life in times of crisis, and it could only be used once. It couldn't be used as a regular magic tool. Now that he had become a Qi Refining stage cultivator, he should find another suitable magic tool.

  However, the law instrument is something that a cultivator uses, it's such a precious item. With Du Fei Yun's current wealth of over 1,000 taels of silver, he didn't dare to think about buying a law instrument, and could only think of other ways.

  At that time, he killed Bai Yusheng and Qin Wannian with a single blow of the Nine Dragons Cauldron. If he could also seize their flying swords, it would be a good choice.

  Unfortunately, those two flying swords along with the two of them were reduced to ashes by the Heavenly True Fire.

  Jiulong Ding is not an ordinary magic treasure, it is absolutely a more advanced existence than the law instrument, this point Du Feiyun is well aware of.

  The Nine Dragon Cauldron is as important to him as his left and right arms, family, and life. However, he still can't use the Nine Dragon Cauldron with ease, and after each explosion, it needs half a month's time to recover, which is quite inconvenient.

  Now it seems that only when he reaches the Xiantian realm can he use the Nine Dragon Cauldron with ease. Deep down, he feels that the powerful effects of the Nine Dragon Cauldron are far from what they are now, and there must be even more magical effects waiting for him to discover.

  But all of this must wait until he reaches the Xiantian realm boundary.

  Improve your strength and reach the Xiantian realm as soon as possible, this is the most important thing!

  But this thing can't be accomplished overnight, it still needs diligent practice and steady progress to achieve, not a single moment of impatience is allowed.

  Of course, before that, Du Feiyun still had another very important thing to do, which was to visit the famous doctor Xue Rang who was renowned throughout the city of a thousand rivers.

  Du Feiyun had always dreamed of saving up enough silver to bring his mother to Qianjiang City to find Xue Shen Yi, now that he was in Qianjiang City and had the silver, it was only natural that he would go.

  Curing his mother's illness was one of Du Feiyun's greatest wishes in this life. If he could let his mother no longer be tormented by the stubborn disease, he would be willing to pay any price, even if it meant bankruptcy.

  The numerous tragic experiences of two lifetimes have made Du Feiyun deeply understand that filial piety is the most important of all virtues, and that in this world, the only people worth his concern and protection are his own relatives.

  Today, Du Feiyun finally walked out of the room. At this time, he was refreshed and full of energy, with a fierce aura emanating from his entire body, clearly indicating that his strength had improved again.

  The biggest difference between a master and an ordinary person lies in their spirit, energy and momentum. A master who has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining or above will have abundant and surging internal energy and blood, which naturally generates a powerful aura that can intimidate evil spirits and dispel darkness.

  After breakfast, Du Feiyun took his mother and sister out to visit the divine doctor Xue Rang to diagnose and treat his mother's illness.

  It's not just the entire Qianjiang City, but even a small town like Baishi Town, which is far away and quiet, has also spread the name of Xue Rang's divine doctor. From this, it can be seen how loud Xue Rang's reputation is.

  As he walked towards the Hui Chun Tang, Du Fei Yun was still secretly speculating about the temper and personality of this divine doctor Xue Rang, judging his character and hobbies based on various rumors.

  In his past life, he had seen many martial artists, but all the famous doctors and masters seemed to be eccentric people. Du Fei Yun couldn't help but wonder if Xue Rang was also this kind of person?

  Huisheng Hall is located in the most prosperous area of the city center, situated on Qianjiang Avenue, with old-brand wine shops and pawnshops nearby.

  Ordinarily, those who come and go on the Qianjiang Avenue are mostly wealthy merchants and nobles from within the city, as well as young masters of prominent families and other celebrities. Common people in ordinary clothes are rarely seen.

  It seems that Chun Tang, despite its grand name, is nothing more than a business establishment similar to wine houses and tea shops, also being one of the vulgar and plebeian.

  In his heart, Du Feiyun secretly suspected that perhaps the famous Xue Shen Yi was also a greedy and cunning merchant.

  The shop of Hui Chun Tang is extremely large, with eight doors that can be opened and folded up. The gate is over two zhang wide and the doorframe above it is more than one zhang high. A simple and elegant signboard hangs from it, inscribed with the three big characters "Hui Chun Tang".

  Du Feiyun supported his mother as they walked into the Hui Chun Tang, and soon a shop assistant led the three of them to sit down at a table and chairs reserved for patients resting while waiting in line for the doctor's diagnosis and treatment.

  Inside the shop, in front are many tables and chairs for people waiting to see a doctor to rest, at the back is a long counter, more than ten accountants and pharmacists are busy behind the counter.

  In front of the counter, three middle-aged doctors dressed in traditional attire were diagnosing patients, asking about their conditions and causes of illness, and prescribing medicine.

  Many people came in and out of the shop to seek medical treatment, but it was very orderly and not chaotic at all.

  Du Feiyun had originally thought that Xue Rang would personally sit in the clinic at Hui Chun Tang, but he hadn't expected to see three middle-aged doctors with gentle faces instead. He couldn't help but wonder if these three people were perhaps Xue Rang's disciples.

  It was soon Du's turn, and Du Feiyun hastily supported his mother to sit in front of a doctor surnamed Li. After asking about Du's condition carefully, the doctor furrowed his brow with a puzzled expression.

  He then spent another quarter of an hour feeling the pulse, but in the end, the doctor shook his head and sighed, claiming that he was also powerless to diagnose or treat.

  Then the doctor told Du Feiyun that for now, the only way is to ask his master Xue Shen Yi to take action, and there might be a possibility of curing this illness. Du Feiyun was originally rushing here because of Xue, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

  After paying a deposit of one hundred and twenty taels at the counter, a shop assistant led Du Shi and his family of three out of the door, leaving Hui Chun Tang and heading towards North City.

  Xue Rang, being a renowned divine doctor with a large shop like Hui Chun Tang, must be extremely wealthy. Originally, Du Fei Yun thought Xue Rang would definitely live in the central area of the city, after all, most of the famous and powerful families in Qianjiang City were there.

  But he didn't expect that Xue Rang's residence was actually in the north of the city. Undoubtedly, the environment in the north of the city was quieter and more secluded than the city center, but it was just an ordinary place where common people lived, with no luxurious mansions around.

  Under the leadership of his companion, Du's family almost returned by the same route, and after walking for half a time, they actually returned to Qingquan Lane again.

  Standing at the entrance of Qingquan Lane, the Du family was surprised and amused, never expecting that Xue Shen would also live in Qingquan Lane, and they were even neighbors.

  As they walked into the Qingquan Lane, the servant led Du Shi's family to a mansion gate and knocked on it. After reporting their arrival, the gate was soon opened by a housekeeper who asked about their business before leading them inside.

  As he walked into the courtyard which was not large but won in quiet elegance, Du Fei Yun's expression became even more peculiar, and it was actually that servant who cast him a sidelong glance.

  Because, this house, though not luxurious but quiet and comfortable, was actually next door to them, only a wall away from their residence. Du Feiyun did not expect that they would circle around and end up back at their own doorstep.

  But what he is most concerned about now is not these, but secretly worrying in his heart that the divine doctor Xue will have a few points of skill, and whether he can diagnose and treat his mother's illness.
