Chapter 624: Chapter 624

At this moment, not to mention Tu Yilong, even those from Huadu who knew quite a bit about Xu Hao didn't realize that Xu Hao was Lei Qianjue's master.

A man in his early twenties and one well beyond his seventies, if Lei Qianjue were said to be Xu Hao's disciple, people might somewhat believe it, but now claiming that Xu Hao is Lei Qianjue's master, how could anyone believe that?

Isn't that just nonsense?

Who would believe it!

However, Lei Qianjue laughed and said, "Young Tu, I am indeed his disciple."

Tu Yilong snorted coldly, "You are so many years his senior, how is it possible that you're his disciple?"

Lei Qianjue said, "Back then, when I was treating Old Jiang, Young Master Xu was also present. I thought that with my abilities, I could easily cure Old Jiang, but Young Master Xu said at the time that I wouldn't cure him, and sure enough, I failed to do so.

Then Young Master Xu took action, using the lost art of acupuncture and cured Old Jiang's illness; I won't go into the details. I admired him tremendously at that moment and immediately asked to become his disciple. He refused, but could not withstand my repeated requests and finally agreed to take me as a named disciple."

He did not disclose the true cause of the illness because he knew that the matter of Elder Jiang being afflicted with a Gu had not yet been truly resolved.

Hearing Lei Qianjue speak , everyone understood that Xu Hao had actually impressed Lei Qianjue with his medical skills!

All eyes then turned to Elder Xie.

Valley of the Medicine King is considered the holy land of medicine worldwide, and Lei Qianjue's medical accomplishments are also obvious to all, but now his disciple had taken another as master, and it was due to medical skills, how did he feel about that?

Elder Xie suddenly laughed and said, "I knew my ungrateful disciple had found himself a Junior Brother, so I came to see him today, but I didn't expect him to be so young. No wonder he didn't dare tell me the other party's age directly. In learning there is no first or last, and the master is the one who reaches out. Since little Xu Hao has impressed Lei little brother so much, it means his medical proficiency must indeed be very high."

Seeing Elder Xie speak, everyone instantly understood that this matter had been approved, and they began praising Young Master Xu being so promising at a young age.

Tu Yilong saw Lei Qianjue admitting it and Elder Xie openly accepting the matter, and as everyone started flattering Xu Hao, sidelining him, he felt extremely upset in his heart.

He, Tu Yilong, the illustrious Third Young Master of the Tu family, why had Xu Hao stolen all the limelight at this moment?

What were Xu Hao's qualifications and capabilities to surpass Lei Qianjue in medical proficiency?

He felt deep down that something was amiss about this situation, but couldn't figure out what exactly was wrong.

At that time, Wu Mengchong whispered, "Third Young Master, Xu Hao's medical skills are indeed powerful. He not only cured Li Chenggong's daughter Niuniu's albinism but also treated Qian Family's second child's Parkinson's disease."

Tu Yilong's expression changed drastically, and he tightly closed his lips, afraid to say anything inappropriate.

He had never expected Xu Hao's medical skills to have reached such a terrifying level!

Albinism, that's a genetic disease, how exactly did he cure it?

And Parkinson's disease, which is on par with cancer, how did he manage to cure that? Reader support at * made this translation possible.

Those diseases, forget the worldly medical skills, even Tu Yilong, who had some understanding of the Valley of the Medicine King, knew that probably no one from there had the means to treat these diseases.

Yet he could cure them?!

Just what kind of prodigy was he, and what inheritance did he possess to be so formidable?

Tu Yilong silently walked back through the crowd, aware that he would not be able to find any weakness in Xu Hao and defeat him on this occasion.

Rather than watching Xu Hao receive adulation, he might as well go back and plan what to do next.

However, at that moment, Wu Mengchong leaned in and whispered in Tu Yilong's ear, "Third Young Master, don't lose heart. You come from a great family like the Tu family, with extensive knowledge and broad insights. Do you know of any unique methods to make someone appear sick without actually being sick? If that's possible, maybe Xu Hao would be unable to find a cure, thereby falling short."

This was a scheme Wu Mengchong had been brooding over for some days, a method to bring shame to Xu Hao's reputation. But finding such a method was not an easy task, and Wu Mengchong had not yet found one.

"Appear sick, yet not be sick?"

Tu Yilong muttered to himself, then his eyes suddenly lit up, "Gu Technique! Xu Hao definitely won't be able to decipher Gu Technique! Across the heavens, those familiar with Gu Technique are all in Miaojiang, and while Gu Technique is legendary, almost everyone who has seen it in person has died out. I inadvertently learned the rudiments of Gu Technique in the past, not much but, when something unfamiliar appears before you, Xu Hao will not be able to quickly resolve it."

"Gu Technique? Is that the technique that controls Gu Insects?" Wu Mengchong asked excitedly, aware that countless people knew of Gu Technique, though he had never witnessed it himself – such a thing was legendary and said to exist only in the mysterious Miaojiang.
