88: Doctors Association

After waiting for 5 minutes, finally, a girl walked out from inside. "Ah, she's here, dear customer, she will take you inside," the receptionist said.

The girl looked at Ning in surprise and said, "You, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, it's you. Uh... Sister Mi Kai La. Good morning. My Night Hunter needs treatment, so I came here," he said.

This girl was Qezir Brauch's granddaughter, named Mi Kai La Brauch. "Is that so?" she said with a cold face, then looked at the bird. After confirming that he was telling the truth, she let him follow her and walked into the building.

After a long corridor with many rooms along the side, he finally arrived at a room where a medieval gentleman resided.

"Master, we have a guest," she said as she walked in.

"Oh," the man looked towards the door, saw Ning standing there, and asked, "Dear customer, are you injured?"

Ning looked back at the bald middle-aged man and told him that it was his beast, not him, that needed help. After understanding the situation, he asked to see the Night, and carefully examined the bird.

A moment later, he reached into his storage bag and took out a pile of ingredients. "Bring out a clean board," he said to Mi Kai La.

"Yes, Master," she said, then walked to a drawer on the side of the room, took out a slate with a smaller stone on it, and handed it to the man, who began to grind the different ingredients inside.

He would measure each ingredient before putting it in, using only the required amount. Finally, after he had ground all the ingredients into flakes, they were mixed until a gray-black paste formed.

He took a ceramic bottle from his storage bag, put all but a little of the ointment into it, then handed the bottle to Ning.

"Can I have the bird back?" he asked.

"Certainly, here you go," Ning said, handing Night to the man. At Ning's command, Night was now very docile.

The bald man took the remaining ointment from the slate and gently applied it to Night's wound. Night began to cry, "Injured, burned, pain." Ning said, "Bear with it, it's good for you."

After that, Little Night stopped struggling. After applying the ointment, the bald man turned back to Ning and said, "Apply it twice a day, it should be fine in about a week. Just don't let him fly around or sit on your lap."

"I understand, thank you. How much do I need to pay?" he asked. "3 gold coins," the bald man said. "Hmm... very cheap, right?" he thought, still very unsure about the value of gold coins.

"Whatever," he thought for a moment and paid. "Amitabha," the man replied.

Ning was then escorted out of the room and back to the reception hall, after which he bid farewell to the girl and left the place.

He looked around for food to give Night and ate some himself. After wandering around the city, he came to the Hawk Sect's temple again. It was as dilapidated as he remembered.

"Won't they repair it?" he wondered, then left. Soon, he returned to the sect and to his room. Considering that he still had 490 days to raise his cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage, his next goal was to improve his physical and Qi cultivation.

He also wanted to strengthen his mental power as much as possible.

Another thing he wanted to do was learn new techniques. His movement techniques and spear techniques were too limited in combat, so, if possible, he wanted to learn something else.

"Might as well learn new knowledge at the same time," Ning thought.

So, in the following months, he did just that.

He did 6 different things every day.

First, he would always cultivate. Whenever he was awake during the day, it was his time to cultivate. Unfortunately, after adding various other things to his daily routine, the speed of cultivation decreased by a few points. Even so, he had already reached the Fourth Qi Condensation Realm in the past few days.

Second, he would collect heat energy and heat energy. He always had to make sure not to accidentally collect Qi when cultivating, so in the morning, he always stopped cultivating.

Third, he would expend his mental energy on himself at Night to increase his mental energy, and then throughout the day, he would recover it and increase it further.

Fourth, he would exercise his body. This did not take him much time. It was only in the morning before the sun came out, so it did not take him many days.

Fifth, after cultivating his body, he would also train the techniques he learned from the Skill Hall, which included him and Night, and he also learned techniques for them.

Speaking of Night, his cultivation also increased a lot, and he was now at the same cultivation realm as Ning.

Even while doing all these things, Ning did not forget his work in the Beast Rearing Hall. Every 12 days, within two days, Ning would go to the beast grounds and feed the beasts 6 times. This was what he had to do to earn more than 30 gold coins.

Ning gradually realized that 30 gold coins were actually more than what a disciple working in the veterinary department earned in 3 months.

His jaw almost dropped when he learned this, and he thanked God every day that he hadn't foolishly left the Beast Feeding Hall at that time.

After so many days, Ning also learned a lot about different beasts, including their names, personalities, likes, and dislikes. Besides knowing their ranks, he now understood quite a lot about beasts.
