Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 157: Fairy Chu's elders began to check the household registration

The eastern sun has risen, and the distant mountains are shrouded in mist.

"How about I treat you all to a meal?"

Wei Zhao's emotional intelligence is rarely awakened, and he wants to build relationships before going to the East China Sea to avoid being excluded.

"No, no." Xue Feng didn't like Wei Zhao, but he couldn't refute him in public, so he said, "My mother is sick, I have to go back to see her."

The others also waved their hands and made up excuses to leave.

Everyone knows it clearly in their hearts. Although you, Wei Zhao, are the director's son, you are an illegitimate child after all. Just because we don't cause trouble for you openly doesn't mean we truly approve of you.

After all, he is a demon-suppressing master and nine of them are Chu Wantang's admirers, so they naturally stand on her side.

Wei Zhao looked at Lu Zhan with the look of a wounded wolf cub.

Lu Zhan smiled. He really didn't want to take advantage of others, nor did he want to eat with a taciturn person. Just when he was about to find a suitable excuse to refuse, he saw Zhu Qi coming.

"Master Lu, I have a case to trouble you with."

Zhu Qi is still strong despite his old age. Even though Ye Yi is not very advanced in cultivation, he is very good at prolonging life. Zhu Qi works diligently in the department and has dealt with many troublesome matters.

Lu Zhan raised his eyelids and said, "What case requires me to go there in person? Didn't you see that Brother Wei was going to treat me to a meal?"

Wei Zhao also looked at Zhu Qi. Lu Zhan was now the team leader. He only needed to command his subordinates to do their work. There was no need to do everything himself.

"The old master of the Qin family suddenly fell ill, and asked you to come over by name."

Zhu Qi was also a little embarrassed. Ever since Lu Zhan helped Zhuge Chen to detoxify, he had admired Lu Zhan very much and always strived for perfection in his work. It was a pity that the Qin family specifically asked for Lu Zhan and not him.

Lu Zhan asked: "Qin family? Which Qin family?"

Having just learned that Xiao Chu's maternal family is one of the top families in the Great Zhou, he is now very sensitive to the word "Qin".

"It is said that it is a branch of the Qin family in Bian Jing, which split off seven or eight hundred years ago. Without the strong support of the direct line, its development is not as good as before, but it still has a lot of say in Jinling." Zhu Qi explained.

Wei Zhao's eyelids jumped, and he said, "Brother Lu, you better go quickly."

Lu Zhan bowed to him and walked towards the front yard, asking, "Where are the Qin family members?"

When he didn't pay attention to the Qin family before, the Qin family seemed very far away from him, but since he knew that Xiao Chu's mother's family was from the Qin family, Qin family affairs came one after another.

Lu Zhan guessed that it was probably related to the recent rumors.

Because Wei Zhao challenged him, rumors about him and Chu Wantang spread like wildfire, topping the trending search list every day.

The Qin family didn't care about it before, because those rumors only passed in two or three days, but now it's obviously a big deal.

The Qin family will naturally not sit idly by, and it is reasonable for them to come to their door, but I don’t know whether it is a Hongmen Banquet or a gathering of heroes.

...

The weeping crabapple tree in the front yard has withered, and its crisp green leaves are waving in the wind. An old man is standing under the tree, looking calm and composed.

This is the Qin family’s housekeeper, but he is no ordinary housekeeper. He is a cultivator in the early stage of the Mysterious Realm.

Lu Zhan's eyelids twitched. Even the butler had higher cultivation than him. It seemed that even if this branch of the family was in decline, it was still much stronger than ordinary families. The foundation of such a big family was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"Are you Lord Lu Guanqi?"

The butler looked at the young man in front of him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He was indeed the famous Lu Guanqi, with an extraordinary bearing.

The butler was secretly amazed, and bowed with his hands clasped together. His tone was polite but not humble. Instead, he was more magnanimous than the heads of other families.

"That's me. I wonder what happened to Old Master Qin?"

Lu Zhan showed an elegant and easy-going smile. After all, he was a relative of the Xiao Chu family. Although he was a distant relative, in this era, as long as they were of the same bloodline, they would prosper together and suffer together.

The direct line may not provide much support to this branch, but they will never sit idly by and watch it perish.

Lu Zhan did not look down on him, but he was not sure whether the other party was really sick or not.

"Please get in the carriage, sir. We will talk on the way." said the butler with a smile.

“Okay.” Lu Zhan nodded slightly, and they came to the gate of the Demon Suppression Bureau together. They saw a luxurious carriage parked outside, but it was not an ordinary carriage.

Because the ones responsible for pulling the cart were not horses, but two strange beasts. Although they had the bodies of elephants, they had a pair of wings on their backs, which made them look quite magical and majestic.

"These two elephants are quite interesting..." Lu Zhan was envious in his heart, but his face remained calm.

The housekeeper introduced with a smile: "This is a Nanman elephant hunted from southern Xinjiang. It is a rare beast. If you feed it with spiritual herbs every day, its strength will continue to improve. Naturally, the cart it pulls will be fast and stable."

As expected... pets in rich people's homes eat better than normal people.

As for eating spiritual herbs to increase strength... not to mention feeding them to strange beasts, even if he gave them to someone like Lu... his strength would increase... Damn it... Lu Zhan was a little jealous.

It was Lu Zhan’s first time riding in this kind of car, and he remained very calm, as if he was used to it. Although he had never seen it before, he could not lose his composure.

The wind was whistling, and after passing Jinling's main street, the two strange beasts pulled the carriage into the air.

Lu Zhan stretched his hand out of the window, the breeze swelled in his palm, and he seemed to be able to feel the curvature of Jiang Jiang.

Such a carriage is indeed very cool... but it's a pity that he is a little carsick.

Lu Zhan suppressed the urge to vomit and asked with a smile, "What are the symptoms, old man?"

"I became possessed due to anger, and now I have stabilized, but I still feel a little uncomfortable." The butler said concisely.

Lu Zhan asked, "Why would the old man go crazy out of nowhere?"

The housekeeper smiled helplessly, "It's really helpless. My old man is old and has no other hobbies. He just likes to plant some spiritual herbs in the garden for his enjoyment. Unexpectedly, he found out this morning that the spiritual herb garden had been looted. The old man was furious and his anger caused his true energy to surge up."

Lu Zhan's mouth twitched, and he asked faintly, "Such a precious garden, is there no one guarding it?"

"Hey, it's not some precious spiritual herb, it's just something the old man uses to kill time." The housekeeper was a little embarrassed: "Besides, who would have thought that a thief would dare to come to the Qin family to steal things... The old man likes quietness and doesn't like people serving him in his yard. In addition, the old man celebrated his birthday yesterday, and everyone was busy in the front yard."

Got it… Lu Zhan smiled.

Most people don't dare to steal things, but one day a bird may land in the garden and take away some things.

Lu Zhan touched his spirit ring... Fortunately, the ring could hide the aura, otherwise things would be a bit difficult.

As soon as the Skylark King stole, he was invited over.

Fate is truly indescribable.

...

The Qin family's house is located in the vast mountains. The house is like a pearl inlaid in the mountains, with carved beams and painted buildings shrouded in clouds and mist, which is very magnificent.

This place is far away from Jinling City. The spiritual energy around it is pure and rich, without any evil energy at all. It is like an immortal gate hidden in the mountains.

"Sir, please come in."

The carriage slowly landed and stopped in front of a majestic gate. The gate had the words "Qin Mansion" written on it in a magnificent manner.

Lu Zhan knew that this trip must be unusual, so he calmed himself and stepped in.

In the mansion that looked like a palace in heaven, there were very few servants. Walking through the numerous corridors and bridges, there were less than ten maids in sight.

No wonder the Skylark King could easily steal other people's spiritual herbs. The front yard and the backyard are more than ten miles apart... It is indeed easy to be stolen when there is no one guarding it.

"Master Lu, my old man is inside, you can just go in by yourself."

When they reached the outside of a courtyard wall, the butler stopped.

Lu Zhan said nothing more. He walked along the bluestone path, admiring the lush flowers blooming around him, and entered the courtyard.

...

The courtyard is a different world with gurgling streams, waterside pavilions and terraces, and orchids blooming all around with a pleasant fragrance. Passing through the overlapping nine-turn corridors, you will come to the spacious courtyard.

An old man was sitting in the courtyard, wearing a sky-blue brocade robe with cranes embroidered on it. He was holding a thorn moss in his hand, slowly peeling off the outer skin and putting it into his mouth. His eyes were slightly narrowed, his gray hair and beard moved slightly, and he looked kind and like an ordinary old man.

Seeing Lu Zhan coming over, the old man raised his head and looked at him with bright eyes.

His gaze was extremely sharp, as if it could penetrate a person's body. If Lu Zhan did not have two souls, he would have found it difficult to withstand such a gaze.

"I am Lu Zhan from the Demon Suppression Division, and I am here to treat Mr. Qin."

Lu Zhan smiled and raised his hand to bow politely and humbly. At that moment, he had seen through the other person's realm.

It is a pity that the Taoist cultivator who has reached the peak of the Mysterious Realm is about to reach the end of his lifespan. If he cannot break through to the Creation Realm in time, he will probably not live for many years.

"It's Doctor Lu, please take a seat."

Old Master Qin's eyes softened. He took out a handkerchief and wiped off the green grass left on his hands by the thorn moss. His voice was calm and mature, "I've heard that there is a very talented demon-suppressing master in Jinling. Although he is young, his skills are amazing. He has eliminated many pests for Jinling. I have long wanted to meet him, but I didn't expect to meet him in this way."

“Thank you for your compliment, old sir.” Lu Zhan was not polite and sat down in front of him, but he was a little confused in his heart.

He originally thought that the other party's claim of illness was just an excuse, and that he must have another reason to see him. But now he realized that the other party's true energy was disordered and he was indeed possessed by a demon.

Lu Zhan found it even more strange.

A Taoist cultivator who was able to cultivate to the peak of the Mysterious Realm, and the patriarch of a branch of the Qin family, he had probably seen more blood and gore in his life than Lu Zhan had eaten. How could he suddenly fall ill over something as trivial as the theft of spiritual herbs?

"Please have the doctor take a look at me." Old Master Qin said kindly and stretched out his wrist.

Lu Zhan nodded slightly and felt his pulse.

The pulse is weak and unstable, and the true Qi in the body is roaring like a sea of ​​fire on one side, and as cold and austere as an iceberg on the other.

There is nothing special about the symptom memory. After all, it is not caused by external factors, but the old man himself has problems. The symptom memory we see is just the pain he felt when he was possessed.

"There are two different kinds of true qi colliding in Mr. Qin's body, and it is these two kinds of true qi that caused him to go astray and become possessed."

Lu Zhan withdrew his hand. He now understood why he was so angry about those spiritual herbs.

With two such chaotic and conflicting true energies, any emotional fluctuation can easily lead to obsession.

The spiritual herbs that he had carefully nurtured were destroyed, which naturally made him feel uneasy. The two conflicting true qi became even more fierce, causing him to go astray.

"Doctor Lu, do you have any solution?"

Mr. Qin waved his hand, and a pot of steaming tea appeared in front of him. The tea flowed out of the purple clay teapot and automatically flowed into Lu Zhan's cup, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

"Both of the two true qi are very strong. It doesn't look like they were created overnight. It's difficult for me to eradicate the problem that the old gentleman hasn't solved in all these years." Lu Zhan told the truth: "Unless I use up all my power."

Night doctors are powerful, but they are not omnipotent.

The properties of these two true Qi are completely different, like water and fire confronting each other. It is impossible for people to cultivate two opposing true Qi. It is more like getting it for free from others.

There are tens of thousands of cultivation methods for practitioners, and Taoist cultivation methods account for half of them.

Many Taoist sword practitioners take an unconventional approach and absorb the power of other practitioners for their own use. Although this makes their practice very fast, if they are unable to truly refine this power, they will end up in the situation they are facing now.

If you want to eradicate it, you have to give up all your skills and start over again.

Old Master Qin was not surprised. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said slowly, "I have consulted many night doctors over the years, and they all gave the same solution, but I just couldn't accept it..."

"Don't even mention the old man. Even if I were to lose all my power now, I would not be willing to do so. Moreover, the old man has practiced for much longer than I have." Lu Zhan smiled and said, "Now the old man is so angry that his two true qi are unbalanced and rushing around in his dantian. He must be in great pain. I can only use acupuncture to balance it first."

"Thank you, doctor." Old Master Qin didn't say much, but sat up straight with his legs crossed.

Lu Zhan took out his medical box, which was filled with silver needles. He released true Qi from his fingers, which were like thin threads that instantly connected to the silver needles.

Lu Zhan waved his hand violently, and the silver needles penetrated into several major acupoints of Old Man Qin.

After the silver needle enters the acupuncture point, it rotates slightly, and the night doctor's unique healing power is poured into the acupuncture point along the acupuncture point.

"Although Doctor Lu looks young, his technique is very skillful."

Old Master Qin closed his eyes, clearly feeling the silver needles piercing his acupuncture points, and praised leisurely.

Lu Zhan said modestly: "I don't deserve it."

"You don't have to be modest. I have consulted many night doctors over the years, and I know the differences between them." Old Master Qin sighed and suddenly asked, "Are you at the peak of the Mortal Realm now?"

"Exactly."

"How old?"

"Just turned 17."

"I heard you have good literary talent. Have you ever been to school?"

"I have studied for several years."

Even though he was a plagiarist, he also learned it through his own reading... As Lu Zhan was talking, he suddenly smelled something unusual.

As they were chatting, the wind changed. It seemed that Fairy Chu's elders had started checking the household registration. However, these things were not secrets and it was not difficult to investigate.

Lu Zhan remained calm and pretended not to hear anything.

“Without the support of a noble family or the favor of an immortal sect, it is not easy for him to cultivate to such a level on his own, even though he has great literary talent.” Old Master Qin seemed to feel more relaxed, and said with half-closed eyes: “You know Ting Lan, right?”

Finally getting to the point, Lu Zhan was not surprised, as this was within his expectations.

Although night doctors are rare, it is relatively rare. Ordinary people may not have the opportunity to be treated by a night doctor, but noble families will never lack night doctors.

The other party specially called him from the Demon Suppression Bureau, it is impossible that he was just here to treat patients. Although he is a night doctor, he is not famous for his medical skills. It can be said that he is not doing his job properly and is not worthy of being famous for his medical skills.

Lu Zhan was as steady as an old dog in acupuncture, and said calmly: "I was fortunate enough to have been to the secret realm with the young lady, so of course I know her."
