Urban Super Medical Saint

Yang Yinhou found it somewhat strange upon seeing this; by all accounts, according to Ge Dongxu's previous behavior, he should be a proud and arrogant young talent. At this point, he should be showing a face full of noncompliance, but Dongxu's demeanor remained calm, unlike the young people he had imagined.

"Young man, having discerned the Five Poisons Descent and Blood Curse, I admit you are indeed among the outstanding of your generation. Even my disciple, with his age, cannot compare with you. However, the Blood Curse is no ordinary matter; it's not something you can break. As for sparring with me, you're still too young. Maybe it would be more suitable for your elder to come instead, otherwise, it would seem like I am bullying the younger by using my seniority." Yang Yinhou's tone softened slightly as his opinion of Ge Dongxu changed.

"There's no first or last in learning; the proficient ones lead the way. Elder Yang, without having sparred with me, how could you know that I cannot break these Five Poisons Descent and Blood Curse?" Ge Dongxu responded, still with a calm and composed face.

"The Five Poisons Descent is executed using the Blood Curse; even I am powerless against it. Currently in the Qimen, only a sparse few reclusive experts may have the ability to resolve it. Yet, you, a mere junior, dare to claim you could break it. Be that as it may, since you insist, I shall let you realise that there are heavens beyond this one, and there are people beyond oneself. This should prevent you from being too arrogant at a young age and hinder your future cultivation." Yang Yinhou said upon seeing Ge Dongxu's insistence. When he spoke of the reclusive experts, his eyes betrayed a hint of sorrow.

If his master were still alive now, he would surely be one among them, but alas...

"This place isn't convenient; let's go to your backyard," Ge Dongxu said.

"Alright, the backyard is spacious." Yang Yinhou nodded in agreement.

Therefore, Yang Yinhou left the villa through the back door in a wheelchair. Gu Yezeng wanted to push him, but was waved off, and he was not allowed to follow either.

After all, how could ordinary folks witness a Qimen Spell Battle?

The backyard was flat with nearly a thousand square meters of grass.

"Make your move!" Yang Yinhou, seated in his wheelchair and squeezing the Imperial Green Jadeite Jade Token in his hand, looked at Ge Dongxu, exuding the aura of a sage.

"You are older, you first," said Ge Dongxu quietly.

Yang Yinhou's white eyebrows raised, and he laughed instead of becoming angry. "It's been many years since I last heard these words. Very well, the young people nowadays rarely show such deference to the elderly. I shall oblige you then."

Having said that, the elder flipped his hand over to his chest, forming a spell with one hand while using the other to activate the Jade Token. Wisps of the Power of Wood spirit qi began to gather silently from all directions with the old man manipulating the spell and activating the token.

As if they were a host of spectres.

"Power of Wood, bind!" the old man suddenly uttered the command.

Suddenly, the grass on the lawn transformed into green snakes slithering towards Ge Dongxu, then wrapping around his feet.

In the blink of an eye, Ge Dongxu was enshrouded in grass like a rice dumpling, a green figure was visible, but his figure was nowhere to be seen.

Yang Yinhou saw this and a touch of nostalgia appeared in his eyes.

Years ago, when he accompanied Huaxia Country's expeditionary force into Myanmar, he killed countless Japanese soldiers in the jungle with this move, becoming an inescapable nightmare for the Japanese soldiers at that time.

It has been many years since he used this move, and now, he was using it to teach a lesson to a junior.

Just as Yang Yinhou's eyes revealed a touch of nostalgia for the glorious days gone by, a sudden alarm went off in his heart. He was about to strengthen his mana and unleash it again when not only did the grass that had been entwined around Ge Dongxu's body recede like the tide, but also the countless blades of grass that had stood up like green snakes on the ground, swaying in the air, ready to strike at any moment, suddenly retracted and returned to their original state.

No matter how Yang Yinhou attempted to activate them, the grass on the ground remained completely still.

Yang Yinhou couldn't help but his face changed dramatically, his eyes revealing a look of terror.

The ancient saying goes, "How can humans be heartless if they are not plants?" meaning that humans have feelings whereas plants do not. But that's just the view of ordinary people. Yang Yinhou knew that plants do have feelings. Especially the plants in this courtyard that he had taken care of with such dedication, they had a profound affection for him. Once he used Wood System Techniques, they were much easier to command than the vegetation in other areas.

But now, these blades of grass no longer obeyed his commands!

What did that imply?

"You really are Elder Brother Yang Yinhou!" Just as Yang Yinhou's face changed dramatically and his eyes showed terror, the trembling voice of Ge Dongxu suddenly sounded beside his ear.

Following that, Yang Yinhou saw the familiar face that had appeared before him at some point, its previously calm expression now filled with the most vivid emotion, his eyes reddened.

Yang Yinhou shuddered, looking at Ge Dongxu incredulously, and asked with a trembling voice, "What, what did you just call me? You, can you say it again?"

As he spoke, tears unknowingly began to roll down from his eyes.

"Ge Dongxu pays respects to Elder Brother Yang Yinhou!" Ge Dongxu suddenly knelt in front of Yang Yinhou's wheelchair, gently touching his emaciated knees, unable to stop his tears from flowing.

Ren Yao, his master, had had a moment of clarity before his death and mentioned this elder brother, but he had said that he was no longer of this world, so Ge Dongxu never thought of him again. To his surprise, he was still alive.

Elder Feng couldn't be considered a true elder brother in the strictest sense; a senior brother would be more appropriate. Yet the man before him was his true elder brother, a disciple of the same lineage!

When Yang Yinhou used that Wood System Technique, it was as if Ge Dongxu saw his own master.

Their lineage, originating from Ge Hong, excelled in alchemy and medicinal practices. Hence, their lineage's most proficient techniques, apart from Fire System Techniques, were the Wood System Techniques. Fire was for alchemy, and Wood was the substance of alchemy.

When he was inattentive in his cultivation during his childhood, his master used to punish him with this technique, binding his entire body with green grass. But now, the thought of his master using this punishment on him was no longer possible.

"Junior brother, you are my junior brother! So, our master, is he still well?" Only then did Yang Yinhou fully come to his senses, his hands shaking as he grasped Ge Dongxu's shoulders.

"Our master passed away five years ago!" Ge Dongxu wiped away his tears and said. Continue your adventure with My Virtual Library Empire

"The old man has passed?" Upon hearing this, Yang Yinhou became as still as a statue, tears streaming down his face

After a long while, he looked at Ge Dongxu and heaved a long sigh, "Indeed, if our master was still alive today, he would be 125 years old. Passing away at the age of 120 is indeed a long life. It's me who thought too much. But why couldn't I have known earlier? That way I might have had the chance to see him one last time, to fulfill my filial duties."

"Elder brother, please take solace. At least Heaven has looked after us, allowing us, brothers, to meet in this vast sea of people," Ge Dongxu consoled.
