Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 251 Where Does This Life Lead?
"Your injury is indeed beyond cure."

The white-bearded old man removed his hand from Han Wangzhi's wrist and shook his head, saying, "It's not a problem with the injury itself, but rather that your internal energy cannot circulate to your head. Ordinary methods cannot cure it."

Upon hearing this, Han Wangzhi, though having anticipated it, still couldn't help but sigh.

Li Fang, who was standing next to Han Wangzhi, patted him on the shoulder, comforting his disciple:
"If you can't master martial arts, you can still learn magic. A master of magic has a much higher status than a martial artist."

Han Wangzhi forced a smile.

What my master said was certainly true, but I have practiced martial arts for many years. How could I let this matter pass so easily with just one sentence?
Ultimately, it still wasn't pleasant.

The old man was tidying up his acupuncture needles and herbs when he suddenly asked:
"How did you get this wound on your neck?"

Hearing the old man's words, Han Wangzhi shook his head helplessly:
"Didn't I tell you before? My head was chopped off, and then a powerful person reattached it."

"You're just teasing me. If someone really takes your head off, even the most skilled healer can't put it back in."

"According to that sir, my head hasn't been gone for very long, so I was able to get it back safely."

The old man shook his head again:

"If you really know someone like that, why did you come to me for treatment?"

Han Wangzhi lowered his head and remained silent.

why?
Han Wangzhi could tell that the young master Zhu was a good person.

Young Master Zhu is a practitioner of the Star Pointing Dao.

In the capital, if the emperor doesn't claim reimbursement, how much would it cost to find a healer to treat one's hidden injuries?
The best person to verify this information with is Boss Guo. Boss Guo will determine the price based on the extent of the injury. Han Wangzhi had contacted him, and his injury required eight thousand taels of silver.

Because Han Wangzhi is highly talented, the Dali Temple is willing to reimburse him, but it will not reimburse him for the entire amount.

Five thousand taels can be reimbursed.

There are still three thousand taels left, what should we do?

He did not come from a powerful or wealthy family and had little influence in the capital. He could scrape together about a thousand taels of silver from his hometown.

His master had been in the business for many years but hadn't actually reached the top, yet he was willing to spend five hundred taels of silver for him.

And so, we're still short 1,500 taels.

His friends, with whom he often spent time, were all wealthy people in the capital, but they were still young and couldn't afford to spend that much money.

Even if they could actually get their hands on it, Han Wangzhi couldn't accept it.

Received.

It's like tying your future life to the surnames of those friends.

Similarly, he could also seek help from the Six Doors, but doing so would simply mean changing the buyer to take away his future.

This is even after his talent has been recognized by the Dali Temple.

If he were just an ordinary yamen runner, he would most likely only receive two or three hundred taels of compensation, and then be placed in a clerical position to retire peacefully.

Because of his talent, the Dali Temple gave him an opportunity.

However, it was precisely because of his talent that the Dali Temple left such a small "gap" to allow him to obediently become "a part" of the Dali Temple.

Although he considers himself a genius, there is actually no shortage of geniuses in Daxing.

Jiang Jinyue's cultivation level was higher than his at the same age, and many people at the sixth level of cultivation were also at a higher level than him at that age.

Most of them got stuck at the point before reaching the star.

Outside the capital, Liu Chongtian is indeed a master who can establish his own sect, but this is the capital.

Talent that has not been realized cannot be considered talent.

Li Fang had taught Han Wangzhi these things before, but Han Wangzhi had not experienced them at the time and thought that his master was exaggerating and that the Dali Temple would not do such a thing.

But after experiencing it firsthand, he discovered that the seemingly bright and glamorous Dali Temple actually had these schemes behind the scenes.

This is why Han Wangzhi came to this old man for treatment.

This is the best doctor Han Wangzhi can afford.

Of course, Han Wangzhi would never say this to the old man.

He silently shut his mouth.

The old man glanced at Han Wangzhi; how could he not see what the young man in front of him meant?
With a cold snort, the old man said:
"If you can't afford to see Boss Guo, don't blame this old man for being incompetent. Besides, Boss Guo can't cure every disease. Do you know the director of the Casting Department? He suffered a hidden injury when he was young and wanted to see Boss Guo for treatment, but he couldn't reach an agreement with Boss Guo at the time, and he still carries a hidden ailment now."

"Your injuries... are probably not much better than his."

Han Wangzhi's expression changed slightly after seeing these words.

Han Wangzhi had indeed heard what the old man said before. Since the director of the Casting Department fell ill, he had rarely appeared in front of the public in the capital.

If the old man really wasn't lying to him...

Then even Mr. Guo might not be able to heal his injury.

Thinking of this, the image of Young Master Zhu involuntarily reappeared in Han Wangzhi's mind.

If he were to swallow his pride and ask Young Master Zhu for help, Young Master Zhu would surely find a way to assist him.

Can……

Young Master Zhu is a good person.

It is precisely because Young Master Zhu is a good person that Han Wangzhi does not want him to suffer a loss.

This does not conform to Han Wangzhi's beliefs.

After pursing his lips for a while, Han Wangzhi finally let out a soft sigh.

I think I should study magic.

Now his life is safe and he should have no problem surviving; the only problem is that his future is ruined.

But the future,
Which path leads to a brighter future?
The road beneath your feet is your future.

He stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to the doctor in front of him, and the old man's expression softened considerably upon seeing Han Wangzhi's state. He muttered, "I'll think of another way for you."

He waved his hand, urging Han Wangzhi and Li Fang to leave.

The two then left the clinic.

When he came out, it was midday, and the sun was so bright that Han Wangzhi could hardly open his eyes. He had just encouraged himself, but now, as he stepped onto the stone pavement of Kyoto, he felt lost and helpless.

Where should I go next?
Where can I go?

"I'll take you back to the Six Doors first, and we'll talk about it there."

"it is good."

The master and apprentice began walking towards the Six Doors. They remained silent for a long time without speaking.

The bustling crowd flowed past them like waves, while the two of them were like two stones in the water, seemingly moving, but actually motionless. It wasn't until they returned to the vicinity of the Six Doors that they suddenly spotted two familiar figures in the distance.

Jiang Jinyue was holding several skewers of grilled fish in her hand, glaring at Lin Jiang beside her with great displeasure:

"You're treating me to this before you leave? That's so stingy, so incredibly stingy."

"I'm here to find someone. If you really want to eat, wait for me to come back to the courtyard, and I'll have my cook make it for you."

“One thing at a time, how can they be the same?” Jiang Jinyue was still very dissatisfied.

Lin Jiang shrugged helplessly.

Han Wangzhi was slightly taken aback when he saw the two people in front of him. He quickly took two steps, stood directly in front of them, and bowed respectfully.
"What a coincidence, you two."

Upon hearing the young man's voice, Lin Jiang turned his head to look at him.

"Unfortunately. I came here specifically to find you."

"Huh? You were looking for me?"

"Yes." Lin Jiang nodded. "I'll be leaving the capital soon, and I need to ask you to take care of something before I go."

Han Wangzhi's face clearly showed a puzzled expression.

He thought about it carefully for a while.

I haven't seen Lin Jiang for a while, so he probably hasn't asked me to do anything.

"come here."

After greeting Han Wangzhi, Han Wangzhi walked up to Lin Jiang with a puzzled look on his face.

Lin Jiang put his hand on Han Wangzhi.

As the vital energy in his palm surged into Han Wangzhi's body, an indescribable sense of clarity also rushed into Han Wangzhi's mind.

In that instant, Han Wangzhi felt as if his thoughts had become much clearer.

He could feel the hidden injury on his neck slowly healing.

Although it's not fast, it's very stable.

"how do you feel?"

"My injury seems to be healing..."

Han Wangzhi first muttered something subconsciously, then looked at Lin Jiang in surprise.

Lin Jiang didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did. After confirming that the life force was really effective, he handed Liang Huashan's scroll to Han Wangzhi.

"It will probably take you a while to digest and absorb the Qi I infused into you to heal your hidden injuries. I'm about to leave the capital, so you'll have to rely on the life force in this scroll afterward. Once you've used it up, go and return it to Master Liang."

Lin Jiang made the arrangement as a matter of course, and Han Wangzhi's lips trembled unconsciously twice after hearing this:

"Why... why?"

"Why what?" Lin Jiang looked at Han Wangzhi with great confusion.

Why are you treating me?

Lin Jiang tilted his head and thought for a moment:

"It's just a small favor, why not help? If you insist, I'd be happy to."

Upon hearing this, Han Wangzhi remained silent for a moment, and then knelt down directly in the direction of Lin Jiang.

Pedestrians on the street were startled by the sudden scene and looked in this direction with curiosity.

But Han Wangzhi didn't care at all. He immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed in Lin Jiang's direction.

"I will never forget your great kindness."

Lin Jiang reached out and helped Han Wangzhi up:

"You knelt down too suddenly. Next time, remember to tell me in advance so I can be prepared."

Han Wangzhi was still deeply moved, but when he heard Lin Jiang say those words, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Before he could even finish laughing, tears started streaming down his face. He tried to wipe them away, but couldn't get them clean. He tried to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, snot started flowing down his nose.

Helpless, he could only choke back tears and quickly clutch the scroll in his arms.

Lin Jiang felt that Han Wangzhi was too excited.

For Lin Jiang, this was truly a simple matter, requiring almost no effort on his part.

"Alright, alright, I have something to do, I should go now."

Lin Jiang waved his hand, then pulled Jiang Jinyue and walked back.

He still needs to treat Jiang Jinyue to a meal.

Han Wangzhi originally wanted to follow, but Lin Jiang saw that he still had tears in his eyes and sighed helplessly: "If you follow the two of us on the street like this, people who don't know the situation will think that something has happened."

Han Wangzhi stopped in his tracks. He hesitated, wanting to follow Lin Jiang, but ultimately remained rooted to the spot.

Only after watching Lin Jiang and Jiang Jinyue walk away did Han Wangzhi rub his eyes hard.

He looked at Li Fang:

"Master, do you know where the young master is going?"

"I don't know, but I can ask around for you." Li Fang looked at Han Wangzhi: "What are your plans?"

"I plan to work under Lord Zhu."

Li Fang looked at Han Wangzhi and sighed.

This kid has always been like this; if someone is kind to him, he'll repay them tenfold.

But no one in the capital city did this.

Maybe……

Following this young master Zhu is indeed the best choice.

However, Li Fang still gave Han Wangzhi some instructions:

"You should wait until your injuries are fully healed before going to see Young Master Zhu. If Young Master Zhu has any trouble, going there in this state would only be a hindrance to him."

"Ah."

Han Wangzhi nodded heavily.

Looking again at where Lin Jiang left, his eyes seemed to be gleaming.
