2: Chapter 2: Junior Brothers: Han Li, Zhang Tie!

Time flies, and the seasons cycle through spring and autumn!

Almost imperceptibly, more than half a year passed by.

During this half-year, Zhao Changsheng followed Mo Juren and learned a great deal of medical skills, giving him a clearer understanding of this world's medical principles; it could be said he benefited immensely.

Combined with the experience from his previous life, he directly became the Little Miracle Doctor of the Seven Mysteries Sect.

However, although he had become the Seven Mysteries Sect's Little Miracle Doctor, Mo Juren did not have him treat the Disciples of the Seven Mysteries Sect often, but instead had him focus on Cultivating the passed-down Cultivation Technique.

Only when Mo Juren went down the mountain would Zhao Changsheng be responsible for treating and healing the Disciples and Elders of the Seven Mysteries Sect.

This was also the reason why Zhao Changsheng gained the title of Little Miracle Doctor, because during this period, in order to let Zhao Changsheng Cultivate faster, Mo Juren had gone down the mountain directly.

The main reason was that Zhao Changsheng had reached the second layer of the Qi Refinement Stage and was currently impacting the Bottleneck of the third layer.

To let Zhao Changsheng achieve a Breakthrough as soon as possible, Mo Juren went down the mountain to seek herbs and refine Medicinal Pills.

Consequently, he returned with some minor injuries, but he also brought back Medicinal Pills that accelerated Cultivation for Zhao Changsheng.

After consuming them, Zhao Changsheng soon reached a Breakthrough to the third layer of the Qi Refinement Stage.

Zhao Changsheng also knew that the time left for him was running out.

Because Mo Juren was already making preparations; although his movements were very discreet, they were still discovered by Zhao Changsheng.

It was at this time that the recruitment period for the Seven Mysteries Sect arrived.

Originally, Zhao Changsheng thought Mo Juren would not take in any more Disciples because he was about to take action soon, but he never expected that Mo Juren would actually bring back two more Disciples.

They were none other than the Han Li and Zhang Tie from the original plot.

This truly left him completely baffled, but he didn't press for questions to avoid making Mo Juren suspicious.

Zhao Changsheng knew very well that Mo Juren's nature was inherently extremely suspicious; showing even a slight flaw could arouse his suspicion.

So he feigned happiness and accepted the two Junior Brothers. Although they hadn't been officially taken as Disciples, Mo Juren was still responsible for their instruction and still taught them the Longevity Art for them to Cultivate.

Only when they Cultivated to the first layer would they be officially accepted as Disciples.

Zhao Changsheng didn't pay too much attention to this matter, but continued to Cultivate, while considering whether or not to use a character card to complete the mission.

Because Zhao Changsheng knew very well that the time left for him was not much.

As for why he took in Han Li and Zhang Tie, perhaps it was to prepare more substitutes, just in case any accidents happened to Zhao Changsheng that would cause all his efforts to go to waste.

One day, after instructing Han Li and Zhang Tie, Mo Juren called Zhao Changsheng over again to investigate the progress of Zhao Changsheng's current cultivation level.

The main reason was that Han Li had also successfully reached a Breakthrough to the first layer of Qi Refining, but Zhao Changsheng's cultivation had remained stagnant at the third layer of Qi Refining, which made Mo Juren, who had originally seen hope, start to feel anxious.

One must know that previously, Zhao Changsheng hadn't taken much time to Cultivate to the third layer of the Qi Refinement Stage. Now that he had delayed in reaching a Breakthrough to the fourth layer of Qi Refining, it truly made him anxious.

“This Disciple is incompetent; I hope Revered Master will forgive me,” Zhao Changsheng said.

Once Mo Juren finished his inspection, Zhao Changsheng immediately put on an expression of deep guilt and spoke with his head bowed.

“Alright, go back and Cultivate well. Your Revered Master will take a trip down the mountain next to find some more medicinal herbs to help you reach a Breakthrough as soon as possible. As for those two Junior Brothers of yours, I'll leave their instruction to you. Also, you will be responsible for the sect's Disciples and Elders. After all, your medical skills are now not much inferior to mine. I can rest easy leaving them to you. Furthermore, during this time, give as much guidance as possible to your Junior Brother Han, so he can also Cultivate faster and reach a Breakthrough soon.”

Looking at the guilt-stricken Zhao Changsheng, Mo Juren sighed and comforted him in as gentle a tone as possible.

“This Disciple understands. Revered Master, please rest assured.”

Zhao Changsheng answered as he always did, and seeing such an obedient and sensible Zhao Changsheng, Mo Juren nodded, comforted him with a few more words, gave some instructions on trivial matters, and said no more, letting Zhao Changsheng return to his Cultivation.

After leaving Mo Juren's room, Zhao Changsheng saw Han Li tending to medicinal herbs in the medicine garden.

Looking at this Junior Brother before him, the future Old Devil Han of the Cultivation World, Zhao Changsheng gave a simple greeting and went straight back to his own room.

Right now, Zhao Changsheng knew very well that the time left for him was not much. Although he had already successfully reached a Breakthrough to the fourth layer of the Qi Refinement Stage and was even about to step into the fifth layer, he knew clearly that time was short and he must take action as soon as possible.

The reason he hadn't been detected was mainly because he could hide his cultivation now.

As long as one reached the fourth layer of Qi Refining, they could hide their cultivation, which was why Mo Juren failed to detect it and believed he was still at the Realm of the third layer of the Qi Refinement Stage.

Even so, Zhao Changsheng didn't think this bit of strength would be enough to counter-kill Mo Juren, a local hegemon.

Therefore, after thinking it over, Zhao Changsheng decided to choose a character card.

No matter who came out, having an extra helper was always a good thing and could increase the chances of success.

Now was not yet the time to act, because Mo Juren was going down the mountain to help him find medicine. He naturally couldn't miss out on such a good thing, and he would also have more time to reach a Breakthrough to the fifth or even sixth layer of the Qi Refinement Stage.

He had already obtained the subsequent Cultivation Technique; when he reached a Breakthrough to the third layer of the Qi Refinement Stage, Mo Juren had passed the rest of the technique to him.

What he needed to do now was to reach a Breakthrough as quickly as possible and wait for Mo Juren's return, after which he could directly take action.

As for Han Li and Zhang Tie, there was absolutely no need to worry; he believed that when the time came, Mo Juren would have them leave Divine Hand Valley.

Because he planned to wait until Mo Juren returned to reveal his Breakthrough to the fourth layer of the Qi Refinement Stage, prompting Mo Juren to act.

Only at that time would Han Li and Zhang Tie be arranged to leave Divine Hand Valley.

After finalizing his plan, Zhao Changsheng began to focus on his Cultivation, ignoring everything happening in the outside world.

In any case, the plan was now set; he only needed to wait for the right moment.

However, he still had some concerns, which were how to handle Han Li and Zhang Tie after the deed was done.

Zhang Tie wasn't much of an issue; he had a simple and honest disposition, so any random lie would suffice.

But Han Li wasn't that easy to fool; this guy had a full eight hundred schemes up his sleeve. Trying to fool him would not be an easy task.

But right now, he couldn't worry about that; he had to complete this mission first.

As long as this mission was completed, he could obtain another chance to draw a card.

To be honest, although the success rate of drawing a character card to complete this mission was relatively high, it was also a waste of a card-drawing opportunity.

But things had come to this point, and he could no longer worry about such things.

After all, this mission concerned his own life and future development, so he could only choose the character card.

He just didn't know what kind of character he would draw?
