Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 667 - 647: Myriad Poison Heart-Devouring Pill

About a hundred li west of Donglin City lies a continuous mountain range, covering over a hundred li in total. The flat lands between these mountains are sparsely populated with scattered villages. In the midst of these mountains, there lies a place called Spirit Mountain, which oddly houses several modern villas amid the deep, old forests – a sight that peculiarly stands out. Inside one of the villas, the room is filled with a strange mist, where three figures are seated.

There is a man with disheveled hair and oddly dressed, sitting there with streaks of malevolence across his face. Next to him sits an elderly woman in white clothes, appearing to be in her sixties or seventies, yet her hair is as black as a young girl’s and her face bears few wrinkles. She looks dignified, but the coldness on her face commands respect and discourages any thought of offense. Just one glance from her eyes seems terrifying.

Opposite them sits a woman in her forties, exuding a grand and noble air, looking only like she is in her early thirties and very beautiful. The allure of a mature woman is perfectly embodied in her. This age is quite magical for a woman. A few years older, and she would be seen as past her prime, losing the radiance expected of women. However, she maintains herself remarkably well, with skin still smooth and fair, comparable to a twenty-year-old young woman. Particularly her body, though not slim, she is voluptuously proportioned, perfect for a woman her maturity.

"Humph, Bai Gongyu, that failure, good for nothing but to spoil plans, a completely worthless supporter, don’t even think about depending on him for plans in the Capital City," the man with disheveled hair sneered coldly, his voice carrying an intangible magic power that felt rather terrifying.

The woman in white lightly stroked the elder’s hair, saying, "Sect Leader, do not be angry, Bai Gongyu is just a minor pawn to us. Our main target isn’t in the Capital City. It would be great if things could be arranged there, but if not, it doesn’t matter. After all, the Capital City is a dangerous place now, not like before. It isn’t easy to cause a stir there. Hehe, the Ghost Doctor, that old immortal, did train a formidable disciple. This Tangyu has repeatedly foiled our major plans. Sect Leader, shouldn’t we eliminate him?"

"Hehe, to kill him, I’ve long wanted to do so; he has ruined our plans time and again. The secret cultivation base in Miyun Mountain destroyed by him, experiments in Donglin City demolished by him, and even the arrangements in the Capital City disrupted by him. Indeed, he deserves death. That old immortal Ghost Doctor, after hiding for so many years, still hasn’t forgotten to oppose me, showing no gratitude. Even the Sect Leader of Holy Gate dares not oppose me, yet this Ghost Doctor continues to do so, detestable indeed. Hehe, but it won’t be long before our plan can commence. For now, Tangyu’s life is still useful," the Sect Leader said with a chilling laugh.

The woman in white asked, puzzled, "Sect Leader, what do you mean? Why keep him alive? If he lives, he might very well ruin our major plans eventually."

The Sect Leader laughed coldly, "Have you forgotten that he currently possesses a pair of Flame Demon Scorpion Kings? The Flame Scorpion Demon King is one of the world’s most peculiar poisons. If I can get my hands on this pair, then I’m certain I can use them to refine my Myriad Poison Heart-Devouring Pill. Haven’t we struggled for many years just to refine this pill? Once the Myriad Poison Heart-Devouring Pill is refined, that will mark the beginning of our grand plan. Thus, keeping Tangyu alive is useful for now; once he has fully raised the Flame Demon Scorpion Kings, we can take them, hehehe!"

Nodding, the woman in white said, "Indeed, he possesses a pair of Flame Scorpion Demon Kings. We invested over a decade nurturing the female Flame Demon Scorpion King; I didn’t expect it would end up with him."

The Sect Leader turned his gaze toward the voluptuous woman, "Now, it’s time for you to return to Donglin City. Your little sister disciple is too kind-hearted and can’t handle it alone; you go help your little sister. The most important thing for you now is to seize the Flame Demon Scorpion Kings. You must succeed, failure is not an option."

Upon hearing the Sect Leader’s words, the voluptuous woman was momentarily taken aback, a strange flash crossing her eyes, then she quickly nodded, "Yes, Sect Leader, I understand what to do."

The elderly woman in white said, "Lian, you are the disciple my master cherished the most, and I know there are still things in Donglin City that concern you. However, you must also remember the task your master has entrusted to you this time. If you botch the task, do not blame your master for being heartless. Moreover, besides this task, you must also look after your junior sister. Your junior sister is naïve about the world; you must not let her follow the foolish path you once took. Otherwise, as your master, I will personally clean house."

The plump woman shuddered again and nodded, "Yes, Master, the disciple understands."

"Alright, go and prepare, and keep me informed about the situation there at all times. Furthermore, you will temporarily be in charge of Jiang Zhentian. I hope this time, you will not disappoint me; otherwise, you need not come back to see me again," said the elderly woman in white.

"Disciple will bear it in mind," the plump woman bowed slightly and then stood up and exited.

Donglin First Hospital Traditional Chinese Medicine Department has now completely separated and established itself as a traditional medicine hospital. Although it has separated, for the time being, it is still affiliated with Donglin First Hospital. Of course, plans for future expansion are also being drafted, and it will definitely be separated from Donglin First Hospital and might even be relocated elsewhere.

This was Tangyu’s first visit to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, and there were genuinely quite a number of patients seeking treatment. The recent conference on integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine had greatly enhanced the reputation of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and patients were more willing to trust it. As the best Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital in Donglin City, its reputation was already good, but now it was even better than before. The current Traditional Chinese Medicine Department staffed nearly all the members of the traditional medicine representative team, and Divine Doctor Tang, the savior of traditional medicine, had also been invited to serve as the head of the department. Merely this publicity was enough to attract a large number of patients. The department was now almost overwhelmed, with registrations lining up in a long queue, making it nearly impossible even to walk through.

Although the main hospital had assigned some additional staff to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, it was still somewhat stretched thin.

Seeing this situation, Tangyu was somewhat comforted. After all, such prosperity could be considered a result of his contributions. Naturally, Tangyu was pleased to see Traditional Chinese Medicine thriving and flourishing.

"Hey, aren’t you that savior of traditional medicine, Divine Doctor Tang?" A patient suddenly stood in front of Tangyu, pointing at him while staring widely.

This shout immediately drew many eyes to Tangyu. Helplessly, Tangyu had wanted to enter quietly, but there were simply too many people here. Moreover, being his first visit, he was unfamiliar with the place and didn’t know where the doctors’ private entrance was, so he had to enter through the main lobby, planning to find Senior Ouyang Mulin. In the past few days during his absence, the hospital had been managed by Senior Ouyang. Now that he was taking over the management of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, the first person he naturally needed to meet was the deputy head, Ouyang Mulin.

To be precise, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department had three deputy directors; Ouyang Mulin was one of them, along with Medicine King Ye Yuan and Cupping King Ma Yan. These three were the pillars of the Traditional Chinese Medicine community, highly esteemed and respected. However, Medicine King Ye Yuan and Cupping King Ma Yan were both busy with their family businesses, so their roles as deputy directors were mostly in name—they would come by to work half a day a week and filled ten slots for distinguished experts. Therefore, the true force behind the Traditional Chinese Medicine department was still the senior Ouyang Mulin.

As for Tangyu, the director, it had been clear from the start that he was just a figurehead, merely holding a nominal position, and he didn’t interfere much with the actual affairs. Perhaps within a month or two, Tangyu would resign from the director’s position.

"Ah, it really is Divine Doctor Tang. I know Divine Doctor Tang, I can’t be wrong."

"So it’s true that Divine Doctor Tang is the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department. I thought it was fake; that’s just great."

"Divine Doctor Tang, please take a look at my illness."

Suddenly, everyone started talking, clamoring around Tangyu, nearly swarming him.

The nurses at the guidance desk heard the commotion and tried to pull the crowd back, but to no avail.

Seeing everyone’s enthusiasm, Tangyu smiled and said, "Everyone, please calm down. Let me say a few words, okay? Thank you all. There are many excellent doctors in our Traditional Chinese Medicine Department. Please go and register in line to see the doctor. If there are problems our doctors cannot solve, I will naturally lend a hand. After all, I am just one person, right? With so many patients, even if I worked 24 hours a day without eating or drinking, I wouldn’t be able to handle it all. I hope you all can understand. However, I can assure you one thing: as long as you step into the doors of our Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, I can make sure that you will walk out healthy. Now, I have some other matters to attend to. Could you please let me through?"

"Well said, well said, Divine Doctor Tang, we definitely trust you."

"Right, we came to see Traditional Chinese Medicine specifically for Divine Doctor Tang. We all believe in Traditional Chinese Medicine."

"Divine Doctor Tang said it so well; from now on, I’m not worried about getting treatment. When seeing a doctor, it must be Traditional Chinese Medicine. Traditional Chinese Medicine is unbeatable."

Amidst the cheers, everyone voluntarily made way for Tangyu, and several nurses immediately approached to greet him, each looking at Tangyu with immense admiration, almost like star-struck fans.

"Ahem, who could take me to Director Ouyang?" Tangyu asked.

"Me."

"Me."

"I’ll take you."

Tangyu randomly pointed to a nurse, "You take me over, please."

"Yay, I’m so happy." The selected nurse immediately jumped for joy, while the other unchosen nurses looked on with faces full of disappointment, envying the one who was selected, who was incomparably proud, as if she had been chosen by the Emperor himself.

This situation even made Tangyu feel a bit embarrassed. Oh, the sin! He was naturally very handsome and charismatic, a being who could make thousands of young girls swoon, and now he was even more irresistible. Alas, what was one to do with such affection from people? Indeed, Tangyu didn’t really want it to be this way.

Helpless, such is the life of one who excels; trying to keep a low profile just wasn’t possible.

There’s a saying: life is like a rape, if you can’t resist it, then you’ve just got to enjoy it.

Thus, Tangyu chose the latter.
