Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Chapter 272: Chapter 292: Taking in Disciples, Divine Doctor Hua (Seeking Monthly Pass)

“`

Near the entrance of Medical Valley.

Chu Yuan walked down from atop Ao Yu’s head and patted the enormous dragon head, signaling his companion to transform into human form.

He stood with one hand behind his back, surveying the surroundings, completely unaware of where he was.

After tearing up the invitation, a pitch-black Spatial Passage formed, through which he had Ao Yu carry him.

Then they flew for an unknown period of time.

Until they arrived at this place.

Only Chu Yuan couldn’t figure out where exactly the entrance to Medical Valley was.

Looking up, he could only see a dark valley entrance before him, with no other paths to take.

So, was that the entrance to Medical Valley then?

Just as Chu Yuan was about to walk towards the entrance,

Ao Yu, now in human form, suddenly tugged at him.

Making Chu Yuan involuntarily turn his head to look back.

Unsure of what Ao Yu intended to do.

“Sect Master, do you see that person? Could he be the gatekeeper of Medical Valley? Shall we go ask?”

Ao Yu pointed towards a tree near the entrance of the valley as he spoke.

Upon hearing this,

Chu Yuan immediately looked up in that direction.

There, under the tree, sat a pallid young man, who was staring at them with wide eyes.

This was the gatekeeper of Medical Valley?

This Medical Valley was intriguing indeed.

Capable of treating others, yet their own gatekeeper was sickly—that was interesting.

This Medical Valley was truly interesting.

Chu Yuan felt like laughing, but he knew how to read the room and did not let out a chuckle. Instead, he strode towards the tree.

He approached the young man under the tree and began to speak calmly.

“Excuse me, is this the entrance to Medical Valley?”

Chu Yuan gave a faint smile, radiating a feeling of spring warmth.

“Ah? Oh yes, that’s the entrance to Medical Valley right there. Just walk inside. You need to be at least at the Golden Core Realm to enter; those who are not can’t go in. But given the strength of you two, you need not worry about such things and can directly enter.”

The young man, ‘Divine Doctor Hua,’ spoke with some difficulty.

“Hmm???”

Chu Yuan was taken aback.

What was this?

To enter such a place as Medical Valley, one needed to be in the Golden Core Realm???

Did it mean that being in the Foundation Establishment Realm meant he had no rights?

Chu Yuan’s face darkened.

So it was a wasted trip.

He’d wasted so much time.

It was truly a doggone shame.

Chu Yuan turned to leave.

But then he thought again.

There was still a gatekeeper here.

Could he assign the gatekeeper to do something for him?

With this thought, Chu Yuan’s eyes brightened as he looked at Divine Doctor Hua.

“Our Sect requires a physician, hence our visit to Medical Valley to recruit. I wonder if you could represent us and make an inquiry inside. If that’s not possible, we are prepared to leave immediately.”

Chu Yuan spoke.

“Hmm? Recruit… a physician??”

Divine Doctor Hua was bewildered for a moment.

He had never heard that Medical Valley was recruiting physicians.

“Indeed, our Sect is in need of a physician, so we came to Medical Valley specifically.”

Chu Yuan nodded earnestly as he spoke.

“Medical Valley doesn’t recruit… er, do you think I would suffice?”

Divine Doctor Hua began to say that Medical Valley didn’t recruit physicians, but then he reconsidered; if he were to be recruited, then he might also have a chance to survive.

So he changed what he was about to say midway through and asked if he himself could be recruited.

“Recruit you??? Are you versed in medical arts??”

Chu Yuan looked at the sickly person, his lips twitching slightly, as he hardly seemed someone knowledgeable in medical arts.

“I am, I really am. My skill in medicine is no weaker than anyone inside Medical Valley, truly!”

Divine Doctor Hua said repeatedly.

He was not lying.

All this time, he had been reading books, mostly medical texts.

He had learned most of the medical techniques practiced within Medical Valley.

“`

Even some medical skills he could learn on his own, without a teacher, but since Medical Valley’s medical techniques required mana to perform, he never had the chance to use them.

But he knew, given mana, he could definitely make use of those medical skills, and would be no worse than the people within Medical Valley.

“This…”

Chu Yuan hesitated.

Could he believe this?

A man, sickly and weak, looking like he could drop dead at any moment, claiming to be skilled in medicine?

If he were truly that skilled, then why not heal himself?

At the very least, tidy up his own appearance so as not to look like he might keel over any second.

To take this man to the Wayless Sect to serve as a physician…

Chu Yuan could even picture such a scene.

This Divine Doctor Hua sitting in the hall, telling disciples what they should do less of, what they should eat less of, lest they die easily, only to slump over the table and die on the spot.

Hss…

Recruiting someone who’s halfway into the grave to be a physician.

It didn’t seem worth it no matter how he thought about it.

Someone named Chu was not a big fool.@@novelbin@@

After thinking it through, Chu Yuan was ready to reject Divine Doctor Hua.

He looked up at the sickly man, opened his mouth to speak.

But before he could say anything,

A thought flashed through his mind.

Chu Yuan paused.

Something wasn’t right.

This person couldn’t be a physician.

But he could be a disciple.

Hadn’t he always wanted to take on another disciple, to pair up with Su Xi and break through two minor realms in one fell swoop?

And here was a ready-made disciple right before his eyes.

Chu Yuan sized up Divine Doctor Hua.

The sickly man.

Who knew when he would die.

If taken as a disciple, just by keeping him well fed and looked after, by the time the sect’s test came around, wouldn’t that be a small realm gained for nothing?

“Inviting you back to the sect as a physician won’t do, however, I can take you as my disciple, would you be willing?”

Chu Yuan looked at the Divine Doctor Hua in front of him as if looking at a small realm, his face alight with joy.

“Ah???”

Divine Doctor Hua doubted he had heard correctly.

Not inviting him as a physician, but choosing to take him as a disciple?

What kind of reasoning was this?

He was unable to cultivate, his body couldn’t accumulate mana, and he was perpetually enveloped by death qi.

Being a physician was a stretch.

Yet he was being invited to become a disciple?

That was too… too inconceivable.

“What, you’re not willing?”

Seeing Divine Doctor Hua had not spoken for a long time, Chu Yuan couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow and ask.

“Willing, willing, I’m willing, disciple pays respects to Respected Master.”

Divine Doctor Hua quickly came back to his senses and said as he prepared to kneel and perform a gesture of respect towards Chu Yuan.

But because his body was too weak, he nearly toppled over.

Frightened, Chu Yuan hurriedly steadied Divine Doctor Hua, afraid that this fall would snuff out the man’s life on the spot.

“Be careful, Ao Yu, come here, help him up.”

Chu Yuan called Ao Yu over from behind.

Ao Yu, still standing in place, confused, quickly came to his senses, nodded, hurried over, and supported Divine Doctor Hua.

“Let’s go, take him with us, we’re going back to the sect.”

Chu Yuan said decisively.

As for Medical Valley…

He had lost interest in going.

That kind of place was only good for shaming people, trampling on them.

Medical Valley or not, it was simply rubbish.

To think they dared to insult the rights of someone from the Foundation Establishment Realm!

This was unbearable.

He would not go.

It wasn’t because only those in the Golden Core Realm could enter; it was just because he, someone named Chu, disdained to enter!
