The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief

Liu Zixuan was momentarily stunned. He had seen this small box before. Earlier, in front of Aunt Yao’s house, she had asked Xiaoyu to bring out a package, and this small box was inside it.

And Aunt Yao came over, carrying only this and a memorial tablet, and that’s it. Liu Zixuan had thought it was something of great importance to Aunt Yao, so why was she suddenly giving it to him?

Seeing Liu Zixuan’s hesitation, Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Senior Sister is giving it to you, just take it. We are all getting old and have no use for this item."

Liu Zixuan scratched his head, took the small box, and with a flick of his finger, lifted the lid. A needle, entirely black and glowing dimly, appeared in front of him.

When he saw that needle clearly, Liu Zixuan’s breath abruptly stopped. He widened his eyes in surprise and said, "This... this is the most mysterious Ghost Venerable Needle from the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles!"

"That’s right, it’s also the true heirloom of the Medical Immortal Sect!"

Zhou Yi introduced it very seriously.

Liu Zixuan was once again dumbfounded and then questioned in confusion, "An heirloom? But wasn’t the Medical Immortal Sect founded by Venerable Ghost Nether after he betrayed the Ghost Valley Sect?"

"Well, there’s some truth to that."

Aunt Yao paused and then continued, "Actually, to be precise, the Medical Immortal Sect was glorified by Venerable Ghost Nether. It already existed before he came along, only it wasn’t called the Medical Immortal Sect at the time, but the Profound Medical Pavilion."

"Profound Medical Pavilion?" The more Liu Zixuan listened, the more baffled he became.

The first time he interacted with Ye Lianyi was in Qian Nan, where he learned of the Medical Immortal Sect. Later, because of a beautiful master, he became aware of the Medical Immortal Sect behind the Medical Immortal Sect. As time went on and he had more contact, he learned that the Medical Immortal Sect had two sect leaders, one being Venerable Ghost Nether, and the other Zhou Yi.

So how did this Profound Medical Pavilion suddenly come up?

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "It’s understandable that you don’t know this. Neither Ruyan nor Ripple know, and in the entire Medical Immortal Sect, only I, Senior Sister, and Venerable Ghost Nether know about this."

"What’s going on here?" Liu Zixuan asked, spreading his hands.

"Now that the Medical Immortal Sect has already fallen, there’s no harm in telling you. Just think of it as listening to a story."

Aunt Yao slowly stood up and began to explain, "Let me put it this way, I also come from a family of National Doctors. When I was a child, National Doctors had not yet declined. In the Southeast region, our family was somewhat famous."

"But back then, it was a time of chaos. Practicing medicine to earn money was simply not feasible, so our family sent a few of us siblings out to collect herbs and help treat people injured in the chaos. Three years passed in a flash."

"I remember I was twenty-one that year. As the war came to an end, I returned to the family with some of the villagers, but in three years, things had changed. The once-famous Yao Medical Hall was no more. After some inquiries, I found out that my parents and siblings had all died in the chaos."

Saying this, Aunt Yao choked up a bit.

Liu Zixuan sighed. He suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Aunt Yao waved her hand to indicate it was okay and continued, "Being alone and helpless, I really had thoughts of dying at that time. It was also then that I met Yi’Er."

Zhou Yi gently patted Aunt Yao’s shoulder and said, "I was only eight years old then, a little beggar. I looked at Senior Sister, and she looked at me. For some reason, we both laughed at that time. Maybe that’s fate, losing something but gaining something else."

"And then?" Liu Zixuan couldn’t help asking.

Aunt Yao smiled slightly, "After much difficulty, Yi’Er and I traveled from the Southeast to the Qian Nan area. By coincidence, we met our mutual master. He took pity on us and took us in, and even taught us more medical skills. Before that, I thought our Yao family’s medical skills were already quite strong. But after meeting Master, I realized what a truly profound National Doctor is."

"We studied hard for five years, and both Yi’Er and I learned most of Master’s medical skills. We planned to continue practicing medicine and live a good life, but Master passed away, telling us on his deathbed that he came from an organization called the Profound Medical Pavilion, without giving us any other information about him."

Zhou Yi continued, "Master was very mysterious, and this Profound Medical Pavilion even more so. After Master’s death, we left there with the money Master left us. We traveled to many places but never overheard anything about the Profound Medical Pavilion, as if it didn’t exist at all."

"Afterwards, we grew tired, and our money was almost spent, so we settled where the Medical Immortal Sect is now. We opened a medical clinic named Profound Medical Pavilion. Many years passed, and Profound Medical Pavilion gained some fame. We even recruited many disciples."

"It was around that time that we met Venerable Ghost Nether. We didn’t know how dark his heart was back then, thinking he was just like us, genuinely wanting to have a healer’s compassionate heart. And for those years, he indeed operated that way. It was unexpected how terrifying he later became!"

"Was it because of his joining that the Profound Medical Pavilion was renamed to the Medical Immortal Sect?" Liu Zixuan asked.

"Yes, it was also his suggestion, saying that Profound Medical Pavilion didn’t sound as good as Medical Immortal Sect, nor did it seem as grand. Although this was the name Master gave us, it belonged only to Yi’Er and me. Moreover, as more doctors came to us for fame and our medical skills became more diverse, we didn’t say anything about the name change."

After saying all this, Aunt Yao took a deep breath, "You should’ve already heard about what happened afterward, right!"

Afterwards, Venerable Ghost Nether established the Medical Immortal Sect and also founded the Medical Immortal Gate, making the Medical Immortal Gate the well-known name to outsiders, while the Medical Immortal Sect became increasingly mysterious.

This wasn’t to highlight their mysteriousness, but to avoid the pursuit from the Ghost Valley Sect!

These were things Liu Zixuan had already heard about before.

"That’s right, but what I’m curious about is why you left the hard-built Medical Immortal Sect back then?" Liu Zixuan asked in confusion.

"Because before Master died, he left three last wishes. Besides asking about the Profound Medical Pavilion, we were also helping Master fulfill those last wishes when we traveled around the country after leaving Qian Nan."

Listening to Zhou Yi’s words, Liu Zixuan nodded, "Were those three last wishes fulfilled?"

Aunt Yao and Zhou Yi exchanged a glance and then both gave a bitter smile, "Up until now, only two have been fulfilled. I’m afraid the last one will depend on you to complete it!"

"Me?" Liu Zixuan was taken aback and earnestly said, "If you both trust me, Zixuan will certainly do her best to fulfill it!"
