Chapter 1480: Chapter 68: Accepting an Apprentice
“Bless my child with health and joy…”
As the pleading voice of the woman below reached him, Wang Ba mobilized his Spiritual Mind, swiftly spreading it around.
“It’s in Hailing Nation.”
Wang Ba was somewhat surprised.
However, he immediately flew down into Diwu Hall and made use of its Teleportation Array.
When he reappeared, he was already in the Teleportation Array in the Ghost Market of Hailing Nation, nearly a hundred thousand miles away.
The arrival of Wang Ba instantly alerted the Guardians of the Ghost Market.
Almost the moment they sensed the aura of Wang Ba, they flew down in front of him with respectful expressions.
Wang Ba was not particularly familiar with this Guardian of the Ghost Market in Hailing Nation.
So after giving a few words of encouragement, he began to inquire.
“The location mentioned by the Deputy Sect Master is in the southern part of Hailing Nation, known as ‘Great Rain City’.”
The Guardian of the Ghost Market frowned in thought for a long time before pulling the location Wang Ba mentioned from the dusty corners of his memory.
Although confused as to why the dignified Deputy Sect Master would go to such a remote small city, he still quickly found the corresponding map and reported it to Wang Ba.
“Does the Deputy Sect Master need us to accompany him?”
Wang Ba laughed and waved his hand dismissively.
If he couldn’t resolve it with his abilities, then others would be of even less help.
Without a pause, he immediately flew swiftly in that direction.
Less than half a day later, Wang Ba quietly stopped above a small city.
Compared with the floods that had ravaged it a hundred years ago.
The present-day Hailing Nation had obviously recovered from the great flood, and although the Spiritual Energy was thin, the entire land was filled with signs of mortal life.
Hence, even though the small city in front of him was not large, it was extraordinarily lively and full of vitality.
Wang Ba’s gaze, however, was fixed on a small courtyard within the city below.
The courtyard was not big, but it was located near the center of the small city, clearly indicating a family of substantial wealth.
He did not care so much. His Spiritual Sense scanned over and quickly saw the same woman he had seen before.
Compared to a few days ago, the woman already had a swollen body and could no longer stand up.
It was clear that the day of her childbirth was near.
Wang Ba scanned the woman’s body with his Spiritual Sense and slightly frowned.
However, he did not go down and instead sat in the air in a cross-legged position.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Wang Ba suddenly opened his eyes, then heard a loud cry of a newborn baby coming from a side room in the courtyard.
The sound was so loud and clear that Wang Ba couldn’t help but show a slight smile.
But soon after, exclamations came from inside the side room.
“Madam’s bleeding won’t stop…”
“Quick!”
“Master, you must save our lady!”
“Impossible! I will call for the Grand Master!”
Sensing the Qi of the woman below, he transformed into a middle-aged Taoist and flew down.
He gently knocked on the door of the house.
Soon, the courtyard door was opened, and the person who opened it was a middle-aged man with a beard and a face full of anxiety.
Seeing Wang Ba, the man was first startled, then quickly said:
“Are you the Grand Master?”
Wang Ba smiled slightly:
“I am but a wandering outsider, who happened to pass by here recently. Seeing auspicious clouds in the sky and calculating with my fingers, I knew your son was destined to cross paths with me.”
The middle-aged man had no time to say anything else and anxiously grabbed Wang Ba’s wrist, pleading:
“Please, save my wife first!”
As he said this, he attempted to pull Wang Ba inside.
However, he soon realized that it felt as if he was pulling on a mountain; he couldn’t move the Taoist at all.
He couldn’t help but feel wonder and doubt: “You, you…”
Wang Ba laughed heartily:
“A mere mortal illness, why bother going in person?”
With a wave of his duster.
An invisible Spiritual Light fell into that side room.
It was merely two breaths’ time.
Shouts of amazement from the midwives and the physician came from inside the room.
The middle-aged man, not knowing the situation, became very anxious.
But right afterward, a vigorous voice of a woman suddenly came from the side room:
“My son, who is that person outside?”
While speaking.
There was another round of clatter and shrieks from the midwives inside the side room, and then the door was suddenly flung open.
A middle-aged woman with a rosy complexion and blood-stained clothes came out of the door.
Her gaze quickly swept around, and the moment she saw Wang Ba, she was first startled, then her eyes lit up, and she suddenly knelt on the ground:
“Believer Lady Wang, kneels before the Medicine King God!”
“Medicine King God?”
The middle-aged man was taken aback and couldn’t help but look towards Wang Ba, finding that the more he looked, the more the likeness to the statue in the temple was uncanny.
Especially since right after the arrival of the Taoist, his wife’s condition had suddenly improved, he immediately became convinced beyond doubt.
Hastily, he too knelt down.
But he was stopped by Wang Ba’s indifferent smile.
“Please stand up, both of you.”
The title of Medicine King God originated when the Ice Daoist traveled through the southern Hailing Nation and Heichi Nation, saving mortals, and was later worshipped by them.
He, indeed, knew how he came to be connected to this sense.
The middle-aged man nervously got up, and then seeing Wang Ba standing alone, he hastily said:
“Please, God, come inside.”
Wang Ba, however, shook his head and said:
“No need, I am here to see my disciple.”
The middle-aged man immediately thought of what Wang Ba had said upon his appearance, his face showing joy as he quickly said:
“Please, God, follow me.”
The middle-aged woman quickly said:
“The birthing room is unclean, I will bring the baby to you right away.”
The midwives and the physician also came out at this time, and seeing the woman who had been bleeding profusely just a moment ago now full of life, and seeing Wang Ba’s appearance, they too knelt on the ground.
Wang Ba paid them no mind.
With a thought,
He appeared inside the side room with the couple.
What do you think?
