768 Three Old Men
Jiang Ming was amused and did not know whether to laugh or cry. He quickly corrected the elven-eared old man in front of him. “You’re wrong. That’s not what you said. You should be truthful.”
This was the first time the elven-eared old man had been reprimanded like this. His face turned red. “What nonsense are you talking about? What I said is completely right!”
After the elven-eared old man said this, Jiang Ming finally understood the elven-eared old man’s personality. He said to the old man with the huge beard, “If this envoy of the mystic realm can’t be cured, you guys will suffer too.”
These words hit the heart of the old man with the huge beard.
As the envoys of the mystic realm, they were previously imprisoned. If one of the three of them were injured, the other two could not escape and would lose a portion of their lifespan.
The moss-covered old man was the first to gather. He looked at the elven-eared old man and said, “Let this kid treat you. If you’re in such pain, we’ll feel the same soon.”
The elven-eared old man felt that Jiang Ming could not cure anything at all. He turned around and said to his colleagues, “Don’t be fooled by this kid. This kid is so young. How can his medical skills be better than ours? Can he cure something that we can’t?”
Hearing this, Jiang Ming almost rolled his eyes. He said to the three old men, “I’m not sure if I can cure it, but if you miss this opportunity, you’ll just have to suffer.”
“Hmm…”
The old man with the huge beard felt that what Jiang Ming said made sense, so he reluctantly advised the elven-eared old man.
“This kid is somewhat right. Let this kid take a look. If this kid can’t cure you, we’ll talk about it later.”
The elven-eared old man had already reached his limit. Seeing that his colleague had said so, he had no choice but to relent. He said to Jiang Ming, “I’ll let you take a look. If you cure me, we’ll let you enter the mystic realm. If you don’t, then leave.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming decided to quit. He said to the elven-eared old man, “I suddenly changed my mind. I don’t want to treat you anymore.”
As he spoke, Jiang Ming grabbed a white mouse from the side and used his mana to make the white mouse itch. Then, he quickly healed the white mouse.
Such an action undoubtedly demonstrated Jiang Ming’s skills.
The elven-eared old man did not expect this young boy to be more skilled than him in medicine. He immediately felt humiliated and shouted at Jiang Ming.
“Don’t you want to enter this mystic realm? If you want to enter the mystic realm, you have to heal me. Otherwise, we won’t let you enter this mystic realm.”
“If you had said this earlier, I might have agreed to it, but now I’ve changed my mind.”
Jiang Ming smiled faintly, and a huge beast appeared in his hand.
The ferocious beast attacked the three old men. It scared them so much that their hair stood on end.
Seeing the three old men like this, Jiang Ming laughed out loud.
The three old men glared at Jiang Ming. They wished that he would die.
Jiang Ming felt the gazes of the three old men and looked at them without fear. “You have to remember that your lives are in my hands now. How dare you raise conditions with me? What a joke!”
These words made the three old men present so angry that they gnashed their teeth.
“You brat, aren’t you too arrogant? Do you think that we can’t cure this illness without you?”
“I don’t know if I can cure you, but I know that if you don’t beg me to do something, you definitely can’t be cured.”
Jiang Ming snapped his fingers.
The elven-eared old man grimaced in pain.
“Ahhhhh!”
He let out a series of miserable cries, and his entire person became desperate.
Seeing their colleague become like this, the old man with the huge beard and the moss-covered old man could not help but tremble. Then, they turned to look at Jiang Ming and went up to beg him.
“You’ve already taught him a lesson. We don’t want him to suffer anymore.”
“Our companion is already old. If he continues to suffer such torture, he won’t be able to take it anymore. In the end, he will die a painful death.”
The elven-eared old man was still stubborn. He kept saying, “Don’t beg him. I can do it. How can I not be able to deal with such a small illness?”
“Don’t talk. Let the two of us talk.”
The old man with the huge beard was afraid that Jiang Ming would not be willing to treat the elven-eared old man, so he quickly told the elven-eared old man to be quiet.
The elven-eared old man knew what the bearded old man meant. He frowned and went to Jiang Ming.
“Kid, I was wrong. I beg you, please treat me.”
Jiang Ming felt very satisfied listening to this. Then, he asked, “Can I still go to that mystic realm now?”
The three old men immediately nodded and said very seriously, “You can go wherever you want. We won’t say anything more.”
“Alright, in that case, I’ll treat you.”
As he spoke, Jiang Ming went to the elven-eared old man. He picked up a silver needle and quickly poked his body.
After a while, the elven-eared old man became better.
The elven-eared old man stretched his muscles and moved his wrists. His eyes lit up and he said in shock, “I’m actually cured. What kind of strange medical skill is this?”
The other two old men were also shocked. They looked at Jiang Ming and asked, “Who taught you this? We’ve been practicing medicine for thousands of years, but we’re not as proficient as you.”
“Don’t tell me you’re also thousands of years old? Have you mastered the art of rejuvenation?”
Jiang Ming did not know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head helplessly. “I don’t have any spells to rejuvenate myself. I’m not thousands of years old. I learned medicine by studying hard. You can study hard as well.”
In the end, Jiang Ming gave the three old men a very generic suggestion.
The three old men were convinced and immediately knelt in front of Jiang Ming. “Please take us in as your disciples.”
Jiang Ming was so scared that he almost jumped away when he saw such a thing.
What was going on? Why did three old men want him to teach them?
He grinned and said to the three old men, “It’s inappropriate for you to acknowledge me as your master. Forget it.”
His plan was very clear.
