Chapter 747: Chapter 747 Visiting the Mountain Gate_1 Chapter 747: Chapter 747 Visiting the Mountain Gate_1 Xiwa hastily offered a smile and said, “Elder Zhou, I didn't want to, but my father has brought people over, so I…”
“Enough, there shall be no next time.”
Elder Zhou glared at him, then turned to size up Greg Jensen and the others, before turning his attention to Cobe Myes and Valeria Shimpson.
“Are you all here to seek medicine?”
Valeria Shimpson quickly stepped forward and said, “Yes, my father has somehow…”
Before she could finish, Elder Zhou impatiently waved his hand and frowned, “You know the rules, right?”
“Ah, I know, I understand.”
Valeria Shimpson quickly took out a bank card and respectfully handed it over, “There are ten million on this card, please accept it with a smile.”
However, Elder Zhou didn't even glance at the bank card, and his expression darkened instead.
Seeing this, Old Man Li quickly reminded her, “You're too clueless, young girl. Do the Immortal Masters lack your money?”
“I've told you long ago that they don't care about your money, now what will you do?”
Cobe Myes smiled smugly and waved to the back, where a bodyguard immediately brought over a case.
He entered the combination to unlock the case and took out an old ginseng with luxuriant roots that appeared to be at least decades old.
In modern society, it is rare to find ten-year-old wild ginseng.
And this sort of over sixty or seventy years old wild ginseng, it is indeed a top-notch rarity.
“Hmm, this is not bad.”
Elder Zhou nodded his head, took the old ginseng without a trace of emotion, and said to Valeria Shimpson, “Young lady, learn a bit more from your man.”
Valeria Shimpson's face tinged red, but she didn't retort and instead nodded, “The Immortal is right, I… I should indeed learn more.”
Elder Zhou said indifferently, “Alright, seeing that your man is so sensible, I'll make an effort and help you just this once.”
Valeria Shimpson said excitedly, “Thank you, Immortal, thank you, Immortal.”
Elder Zhou looked pleased and scanned the crowd, asking, “Where's the patient? Call him to my room to have a look.”
“This…”
Valeria Shimpson's face showed a difficult expression and she explained, “Elder Zhou, my father is currently unconscious and unable to travel far, so this time…”
Hearing this, Elder Zhou's face changed at once and he said disdainfully, “Then what do you mean? Are you expecting me to make a house call?”
“This… we will have to trouble the Immortal.”
“Insolent!”
Elder Zhou's expression darkened, and he said coldly, “What do you all think this place is? Allowing you to enter, treating you, is already a great favor, and yet you want me to make a house call?”
Old Man Li also added, “Yes, young girl. The Immortal Masters are all busy. Where would they have the time to run a long distance to treat someone's illness?”
“What… what should we do then?”
Valeria Shimpson looked anxiously at Cobe Myes and said, “Cobe…”
“Don't worry, I'll talk to him.”
Cobe Myes lifted his head confidently and approached Elder Zhou, smiling, “Elder Zhou, good day. I am Cobe Myes from the Ye family on the island. Could you see if there's a way to accommodate…”
“You're from the Ye family?”
Elder Zhou looked at Cobe Myes and said, “Asking me to make a house call is not impossible, but there's a condition.”
“What condition?”
Valeria Shimpson quickly said, “Please speak, Elder Zhou. As long as it's within my power, I agree to it all.”
Elder Zhou pointed to the grand hall located on the hillside and said, “Simple. Just kneel and bow thrice, walk all the way into the grand hall, and kneel before the ancestral statue for three hours, then I will agree to your request!”
Hearing this, Valeria Shimpson's face changed at once.
From here to the main hall, there are at least three to four hundred meters, and the path is entirely made of steps paved with blue bricks.
If one truly kneeled and worshipped all the way to the main hall as Elder Zhou said, their knees would surely be beyond saving.
“What? Are you scared already?”
Elder Zhou said indifferently, “Don't say I didn't warn you, you only get one chance. Next time you come, the outcome may not be the same.”
“I… I agree!”
Valeria Shimpson gritted her teeth and accepted for the sake of her father's illness.
Elder Zhou nodded in satisfaction, a smirk of triumph once again crossed his face as he smiled and said:
“Young lady, don't blame me for making it difficult for you. This is a rule of Healington, aimed at testing the sincerity of those seeking medical help.”
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from the side, “What kind of ridiculous rule is this? A healer should have a compassionate heart. Haven't you ever learned the utmost sincerity of a great physician when studying medicine?”
Hearing this, Elder Zhou instantly became enraged and shouted at Greg Jensen, “Boy, do you even realize where you are?
Healington's rules are not for some brat like you to criticize!”
After saying this, he turned to Valeria Shimpson and said, “So, this guy is with you, huh? Fine then, not following the rules, are we? Your father's illness should be treated by someone more capable.”
“Hey, what's wrong with you? Valeria hasn't said anything, why are you meddling?”
Cobe Myes also lost his temper and angrily said, “Elder Zhou, please don't listen to him; we don't know this man at all, he does not speak for Valeria.”
“Yes, Elder Zhou, I really don't know him.”
Valeria Shimpson quickly added her explanation before coldly addressing Greg Jensen, “Sir, I don't know you, please don't talk nonsense.”
Learning that Valeria Shimpson and the others were not acquainted with Greg Jensen, Elder Zhou couldn't help but sneer, “Boy, so you are here to seek medical advice, right?
You don't like the rules of Healington, do you?
Let me tell you, whether you like these rules or not, you have to like them!
Otherwise, don't expect me to treat you!”
Greg Jensen scoffed, “Who told you I'm here for treatment?”
“You're not here for treatment?”
Elder Zhou was taken aback, “Then you are…?”
Greg Jensen looked at him playfully and said word by word, “I'm here to pay respects to your sect.”
“Pay respects to the sect?”
Elder Zhou was momentarily stunned again.
“Healington's rules, right? Today, I'm going to set a new rule for you!”
Greg Jensen let out a cold laugh, his foot stomped fiercely, and his body suddenly flew into the air, his formidable aura bursting out explosively.
Like a mountain, it descended heavily above the heads of everyone!
Thump!
Including Elder Zhou, Cobe Myes, and the few bodyguards, several people could not withstand the pressure and instantly knelt to the ground.
Valeria Shimpson hurriedly looked up in shock, seeing Greg Jensen in the sky, with his hands behind his back, floating in midair, he declared:
“Barry Wolfe from the northwest, paying–respects–to the–sect!”
Boom!
The sound, like a great bell or drum, reverberated through the valley, causing everyone's blood to surge and their heads to spin.
The voice seemed to have eyes, specifically targeting Elder Zhou and Cobe Myes, shaking their legs until they were weak and about to collapse.
Although Elder Zhou focused on Alchemy and medicine, his Martial Way prowess was also strong, so he could barely hold on.
But Cobe Myes was in a sorry state, as soon as the voice rang out, he was shaken so much that he vomited blood profusely, and then with a dull thump, he collapsed straight down.
