Chapter 97: Repaying the Teacher's Grace

"Master," Lu Qing said, holding a small jade bottle in his hand, "this time, while venturing into the mountains, I stumbled upon a peculiar cave. There, I discovered a mystical liquid. Xiao Li’s unusual ability—her ability to vanish—was awakened after she consumed this elixir."

"I also took a few drops myself, and gained considerable benefits."

"Ah, what kind of spirit essence is so miraculous?" Old Doctor’s curiosity flared instantly.

"According to inscriptions within the cave, it’s known as Dipulse Spiritual Fluid," Lu Qing replied.

He hadn’t expected it, but upon hearing the name, his master shot upright in shock.

"What? Dipulse Spiritual Fluid?!"

"Master, you know of this elixir?"

Lu Qing was genuinely surprised. He hadn’t thought his master would be familiar with such a rare substance.

"I didn’t know of it before," Old Doctor said, regaining his composure and slowly sitting back down. "I only learned of its existence recently."

"Didn’t you receive that copy of The Green Bag Medical Canon from the Wei Family not long ago? Within its pages, there are records of some truly miraculous medicinal treasures—and Dipulse Spiritual Fluid is among them."

"In the canon, it is held in the highest regard. It’s said to revive the dead, heal shattered bones, prolong life, and surpass all known medicines in power."

"Yet, the method to create it is said to have been lost long ago. How did you manage to find it?"

Old Doctor stared at Lu Qing, genuinely amazed.

"It was pure luck," Lu Qing smiled. "It was Xiao Li who first discovered the place."

"Still, the Green Bag Medical Canon doesn’t tell the whole story," Lu Qing added. "This Dipulse Spiritual Fluid doesn’t just heal and extend life—it also enhances a being’s innate potential and cultivation foundation."

"That’s how Xiao Li awakened her hidden talent—after consuming the elixir, her latent ability surfaced."

"I took a few drops as well. My cultivation potential has improved significantly, so I now require more resources to reach the peak of Qi and Blood cultivation. That’s why I came to ask you to help me refine more Blood Nourishing and Qi Invigorating Pills."

"Indeed?" Old Doctor murmured, gazing at his disciple with wonder. "You know so much about the elixir’s effects… you must have obtained far more than just the liquid itself, wouldn’t you?"

Lu Qing nodded. "Yes. I also found a fragment of Heritage—it contains detailed information about Dipulse Spiritual Fluid."

"You’re truly blessed," Old Doctor nodded approvingly, though he didn’t press further. He knew his disciple well—if the Heritage was something he could reveal, he wouldn’t have kept it secret.

The fact that he wasn’t saying anything meant there was a reason to withhold it.

"Still, it was Xiao Li’s brilliance that made this possible," Lu Qing said humbly. "Had she not led me there, I’d never have found that hidden place."

"Xiao Li truly is a spirit-touched creature. Choosing to feed her fish instead of driving her away—that was a great act of kindness. You’ve truly cultivated a deep good fortune," Old Doctor said, smiling with quiet satisfaction.

Of course I didn’t do it for good fortune, Lu Qing silently grumbled in his heart. I just didn’t dare to provoke her.

He shook the jade bottle gently. "Master, this Dipulse Spiritual Fluid can heal the dead, restore youth, and extend life. I wish to offer it to you—to repay your teachings and kindness."

Old Doctor looked at the bottle in his disciple’s hand.

He wasn’t lying—of course he was tempted. No one could remain indifferent to a potion that could add decades to one’s life. Even someone as composed as him couldn’t help but wish for a longer life.

"Such a precious elixir… giving it to an old man like me would be a waste. You should keep it for yourself," Old Doctor mused after a long pause.

Lu Qing blinked, surprised. But seeing the seriousness in his master’s expression, he understood—he was trying to preserve it for his disciple.

Touched, Lu Qing smiled. "Don’t worry, Master. I’ve gathered quite a bit. Besides what’s in this bottle, I still have more left over."

"Moreover, the effects of this elixir on potential have limits. Each being can only consume up to five drops. After that, any extra won’t enhance potential further—it’ll only serve as a healing agent."

"So this bottle’s five drops—please take them. It won’t harm me at all."

"Are you certain?" Old Doctor frowned, skeptical. In his mind, such a divine elixir should be incredibly scarce.

Lu Qing’s expression was solemn. "I would never lie to you, Master. This Dipulse Spiritual Fluid isn’t concocted from herbs or minerals. It only forms in that mysterious cavern—where the purest earth essence gathers. It takes twenty years to produce a single drop."

"The cavern hasn’t been visited in thousands of years. All the accumulated fluid was collected by me."

Seeing that Lu Qing wasn’t deceiving him, Old Doctor finally accepted the bottle. "Then… this old man will accept it with shameless gratitude."

Seeing his master finally take it, Lu Qing exhaled in relief.

"Master," he said with a smile, "hurry and take it. Dipulse Spiritual Fluid can extend life by up to fifty years and restore one’s body to its prime state—truly miraculous."

"Not yet," Old Doctor said, not moving. Instead, he couldn’t resist the urge to study the elixir first.

Lu Qing understood. His master was a physician, deeply devoted to medical science. Encountering such a legendary substance was a rare opportunity—naturally, he wanted to examine it.

But his curiosity was destined to go unanswered.

Dipulse Spiritual Fluid wasn’t made through alchemy. It was formed from the purest essence of the earth’s veins—crafted by a long-lost, mysterious being who once opened the Jade Transformation Cave Chamber. Such secrets were beyond the grasp of even Hou Tian cultivators like them.

Sure enough, after studying it thoroughly, Old Doctor found nothing. The elixir defied all known principles of medicine. It was unlike any liquid in his entire experience.

"No wonder even the Medical Sage revered it so highly. It truly is beyond comprehension," he sighed at last, giving up.

"Master…" Lu Qing prompted gently.

"You’re not going to rest until you see me drink it, are you?" Old Doctor chuckled. "Don’t worry—I won’t hoard it. I’ll go into seclusion right now."

With that, he stepped into the inner chamber to begin his cultivation retreat.

Lu Qing stayed behind to guard the room, ensuring no one disturbed his master—after all, Half Mountain Small Courtyard still saw frequent visits from villagers seeking medical help.

But today, everything was quiet. No one came. Lu Qing found himself spared the usual endless chatter.

After a half-day, he heard the sound of the chamber door opening. Turning, he saw his master stepping out—his face still blank, lost in thought.
