"Old man, you're not dead yet, how could I die before you? If I died, who'd take care of your funeral!" Lin Fan laughed heartily.

Since childhood, Lin Fan had never seen the old man smile, always wearing a face like he owed someone five million. So every time Lin Fan saw the old man, he couldn't help but want to tease him!

"If you die, Lin Bai will take care of my funeral." The old man said indifferently, looking unconcerned.

"I say, old man, you're a bit too narcissistic. Lin Bai is the second master's disciple, why would he take care of your funeral when you die?" Lin Fan said dismissively.

"Then I'll just turn into a pile of yellow earth, sink into the ground, and be done with it." The old man remained as calm as ever.

"Damn! Old man, you're ruthless!"

Lin Fan grinned and said, "So, tell me what's the reason for this call? You're not gonna ask me to protect someone again, are you?"

"Protecting people is a disgraceful thing our sect only does once." The old man said.

"So according to you, I disgraced the sect, right?" Lin Fan said unhappily.

"That's about right."

"Damn! Since I disgraced the sect, fine! Don't contact me anymore. I'm living pretty well outside, not planning to go back to the sect." Lin Fan cursed and was about to hang up the phone.

Damn it, if this old man doesn't get a piece of my mind, does he really think the past few years have been for nothing?

However, just as Lin Fan was about to move the phone away from his ear, the old man's words made him stop immediately.

"An opportunity for you to enhance your strength has come." The old man's tone turned serious.

Swish~

The expression on Lin Fan's face immediately tightened!

Qi Gong masters are divided into three levels: Ming Force, Dark Force, and Huajin. Some of the top masters are at the Ming Force level, while Dark Force, also known as the Second Layer, is the basic skill to become a Qi Cultivator!

Qi is the essence of all things. People can't breathe without it, and plants can't grow without it. There's a saying in the countryside: some old people are not dying quickly because they're still hanging on to their last breath!

Qi, profound and mysterious, is something no one can explain clearly. Everyone has a strong qi within them, but some find it hard to trigger and release it, while others can only release a little!

The human potential is limitless. Just like scientists Edison and Einstein, they've tapped into their brain potential to an unprecedented level. The qi within the human body is equally infinite and needs to be developed!

Qi Gong masters can unleash this qi, transforming it into an attack. For instance, in a fistfight, a Ming Force master only uses the force on the surface of the fist, while a Dark Force master can channel their developed qi to form a second force, becoming an attack!

And qi isn't just limited to martial arts. Even throughout history, those powerful medicine sages were also Qi Gong masters!

When Lin Fan left the sect five years ago, he had already reached the Dark Force level, but these past few years, his strength had plateaued. He longed for greater power!

Lin Fan took a deep breath, calming his racing heartbeat, and asked, "What opportunity?"

"Back when I was roaming the Martial World, I owed a favor to the 'Medicine King Hall', so I left them an address. Today, someone from the 'Medicine King Hall' came to the sect, saying the current Sect Leader of 'Medicine King Hall' is at death's door and asked me to help. This task is now yours." The old man sighed.

"Medicine King Hall?"

Mentioning these words, Lin Fan recalled the last time he went there and coincidentally met Qiu Ruohan for the second time. Mrs. Qiu was worried sick, and the young master of Medicine King Hall not only refused to treat them but also despised Qiu Ruohan and her mother. This left Lin Fan with a bad impression of Medicine King Hall!

"I'm not going! Whoever wants to go can go!" Lin Fan refused outright.

"Don't you want to enhance your strength?" The old man was a bit puzzled!

"Enhancing strength is important, but I have my principles. Those bastards at Medicine King Hall are just wolves in white coats, nothing good about them." Lin Fan said.

"That's not entirely true. Where there is evil, there is good. The current Sect Leader of Medicine King Hall and I are both over a hundred years old, and people of the same era are becoming fewer and fewer. Besides, I owe him a favor. Repay it, so even if he dies someday, I won't have any regrets. Help me settle this matter."

"Also, I've already mentioned the matter of compensation to them. Medicine King Hall has agreed, and the compensation will satisfy you." The old man said meaningfully.

Smooch~

With those words, the old man directly hung up the phone!

Lin Fan was indignant. Why should he repay a favor the old man owed? Besides, he had had a conflict with that young master Liu Yifei from Medicine King Hall. Who knows if they even believed he could handle it!

Seeing the hesitance on Lin Fan's face, Gu Qingcheng curiously asked, "Who was on the call?"

"An old man who's as stubborn as hell." Lin Fan cursed in annoyance, opened the car door and got in, then started the car!

A glint of light flashed in Gu Qingcheng's eyes as she suddenly considered a possibility, but soon she dismissed the crazy thought. After all, how could someone from that place return to the Dark Realm and still be doing so well?

"This guy's identity is getting more and more mysterious!"

Gu Qingcheng murmured to herself, hurriedly opening the car door and getting in.

"Why are you getting in?" Lin Fan asked, puzzled.

"I haven't settled the score with you yet, I'm afraid you'll run away." Gu Qingcheng said deliberately.

Lin Fan knew exactly what Gu Qingcheng was thinking, but with a woman as influential as her backing him up, it would indeed save him a lot of trouble if anything were to happen.

So Lin Fan said, "Once we get there, listen to everything I say and don't speak recklessly."

"Don't worry, I'll be obedient." Gu Qingcheng said with a playful smile.

Lin Fan helplessly rolled his eyes. Women can really change faces as unpredictably as the weather; one moment crying, the next laughing, and then acting cute, a natural face-changing master!

Especially someone like Gu Qingcheng, who can be seductive, deep, and cute at the same time. Who knows which side is the real her!

Then, Lin Fan started the car and headed towards the "Medicine King Hall". For both sentiment and reason, he had to help the old man repay this favor!

When they arrived at Medicine King Hall, the entire pharmacy lacked its usual bustle. Although Medicine King Hall doesn't see patients at night, they do allow patients to get medicine, and almost every day there's no downtime.

But now, the pharmacy entrance was tightly shut, exuding a somewhat cold and desolate feeling. Only the two large white lanterns at the entrance emitted a faint white glow, illuminating the three characters "Medicine King Hall"!
