Chapter 1082

(Unedited)

The figure of Wang Changli suddenly came flying towards a stall breaking everything in the process. The figure who hit him was not Divine Doctor Ba, as he is full of hesitation. Standing where Xin Ja was is a dumbfounded guard still holding on his other arm while his right hand is extended in front of him. It is clear that he just did a palm strike as one could also see his palm still glowing.

"Ah… You've used Ki in that strike! Well done!" Xin Ja suddenly said while standing beside the guard.

There was suddenly a commotion in the area as the people began looking at the young man who was sent flying and under him is his already weak other guards.

That strike actually sent the two, flying.

"You!... How dare you dodge!" the guard said, his expressionless face is now contorted in anger.

At this time, Xin Ja took a few steps back as he stood a few distances from that guard.

"Young man… it is better for you to check at your master before creating a bigger mess in here." Divine Doctor Ba said with a slight smile on his face.

He was a bit astonished at this youngster who pretends to be an expert. Plus, his fast movement and his fearless attitude in facing someone stronger than him… made Divine Doctor Ba truly curious about who this young man is.

At this time, the group that was auctioning the metallic frost ore is nowhere to be found in the area. It was like they just disappear like a bubble. The only thing left from where they were a while ago is their stall.

The guard immediately checked the condition of his young master. And after seeing that the Wang Changli seems to be fine, he heaves a sigh of relief.

He shifted his gaze at the location of the ugly man but saw no one. Then he shifted his gaze in the direction of the auctioneer and also saw no one. At this time his expression immediately changes. He knew that they actually fell on someone's trap. He quickly became vigilant at this time and looks around.

At this time, a group of guards came rushing in and saw what had happened. When they saw that the son of their commander is unconscious, they all immediately felt worried. Without hesitation, the group quickly brought Wang Changli with them as they left the area.

At this time, a person suddenly noticed something.

"Hey, where is the metallic frost ore?" with his words, everyone immediately realized that the ore is surely missing.

They then tried to recall where it was and look around the place, but no one found anything. Not even a trace of the frost.

With the fiasco finished the people also dispersed.

Meanwhile, in one corner of a stall overlooking the place where the incident happened, two men wearing white and blue cultivator robes are whispering something to each other. After that, the man in a blue robe walks away and the one in a white robe was left. His eyes are glued at the spot where the metallic frost ore disappears.

"What happened? How did that thing disappear all of a sudden?" he muttered.

But no matter how he thinks about it, he still could not wrap his mind around what happened?

"No worries… At least with this, the proud and yet stupid son of Wang Zhou is already finished. No one could cure the frost Ki poisoning of metallic frost ore… Hehe… Hahaha…" the man chuckled as he walks away.

Xin Ja and Yao Xue are walking side by side while behind them follows an old man filled with white hair. The two have already noticed the old man but decided not to mind him and treat him as air. They soon arrive in a restaurant just beside the gate exit of the village.

As they got seated a few eyes are still glued at them because of their appearance.

The old man at this time shamelessly got seated with them on the opposite side of the table.

"Ahhh… This is a very good restaurant. I've been in here for many times before." the old man said, not minding the awkward the two are giving him.

"Hello… I'm a bit rude… I am Ba Baoji, people call me Divine Doctor Ba, but that's just their way of thanking me… Hehe…" Divine Doctor Ba said with a slight smile on his face.

"Who might you two youngsters be?" he said in a low voice while giving the two a playful wink.

When Xin Ja and Yao Xue heard this, their expression changed. They did not know how the old man saw through them, but they could not lower their guards in front of this old man. This is true especially when the old man is actually a 5th level Ki fighter.

"Don't be alarmed… I know that you have already set some array in here, and I am truly astounded at your ability. Even as a 1st level Ki fighter, you are not afraid to face me. Truly commendable and brave I would say…" the old man said with a smile.

"I do not know why you two are hiding, but your way of hiding is a bit… noticeable. But I would say that it actually works in a way… Haha…"

"What do you want from us?" Yao Xue suddenly said with a wary glance.

"Nothing… Let me ask you… Why are you hiding your true faces? Did you commit some crime, or something else?"

Upon hearing the old man's words, he seems to be insinuating something. But the Xin Ja and Yao Xue did not know what the old man wants, so they did not lower their guards.

"We did not commit any crime… We just don't want our identity revealed…" Xin Ja said in a stern voice.

They were interrupted when the restaurant crew takes their orders. When the crew left, they resume their conversation.

"Ahhh… Love birds?" Divine Doctor Ba said with a teasing smile.

"No!" Yao Xue said with a slightly loud voice.

This attracted a couple of eyes in their direction.

"Ahhh… Alright, sorry about that… Hehe…"

"We just don't want our family knowing that we went here." Xin Ja said.

"Well… I'm following you two because of you young man. You actually have the potential to be a medical master… just like me. If you want, I can teach you… and you will become my apprentice." Divine Doctor Ba said with a smile.

"No…" Xin Ja immediately denied it.

Hearing the answer of the young man, Divine Doctor Ba showed a proud smile on his face.

"You see, I am called a Divine Doctor because… Huh? Wait… What did you say?" he stopped in the middle and with doubtful eyes asked Xin Ja.

"I said no. I will not be your apprentice…" Xin Ja rejected.

"Wha… Why?"

"I just don't want to…" Xin Ja rejected while shaking his head.

Divine Doctor Ba is showing disbelief in his eyes.

He did not expect the young man to reject him after knowing his background and who he is. But this did not deter him from his desire to get the young man as his apprentice. With the young man's talent in needles, he knew that the young boy could also learn some of his skills as a physician. He is the perfect candidate to pass his legacy. So how could he just give up?

"No… This… Alright… You are saying no because you did not know the perks of being my apprentice… In fact, I could teach you many things. More than you can imagine… I could teach you about…" Divine Doctor Ba said as he began to sell the things that he is willing to teach the young man.

If his other disciples could hear his words right now, they would surely complain to him saying that he is too unfair.

His disciples have kneeled, waited, and served him for many days before getting his approval. While this young brat just showed himself and now the Divine Doctor is the one doing his best to invite him. They would lament that the world is truly unfair.

Seeing the sincerity of the old man, Xin Ja was actually touched. The old man is the fourth person who showed him such importance. First is his father, the second is Doctor Sun, third is his runemaster teacher, teacher Wang Changling, and now the old man in front of him.

Xin Ja's heart was a bit touched as he did not know what to say.

"Well…" Divine Doctor Ba asked while looking at Xin Ja with expectation.

"I… I don't know… It's just that. I already have a teacher…" Xin Ja said with hesitation.

"Haha… That's okay… What is your teacher teaching you right now? What is his occupation?"

"He… He is a runemaster."

"Then that's not a problem. I will teach you medicine, and he will teach you about runes… Okay?" Divine Doctor Ba said as he stood up and was about to leave when he stopped.

"Oh! Where can I find you?" he suddenly asked.

Although a bit hesitant, yet Xin Ja knew that the old man could also be of great help to him. So he decided to accept the old man's offer on one condition.

A glint of craftiness suddenly appears in his eyes as he looks at Divine Doctor Ba.
