Chapter 8: Soul Chasing Golden Needles
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
[Ding! Host, please make the following choices to determine your future path!]
[Option 1: Pretend to know nothing and let the protagonist obtain the Taiyi Divine Needle. Reward: Best Courier title]
[Option 2: Obtain the Taiyi Divine Needle before the protagonist and become a divine doctor. Reward: Soul Chasing Golden Needles*12!]
“I choose the second option!”
Luo Chen did not hesitate at all.
How could he let his character make the same regrettable decision again?
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light entered the space between Luo Chen’s eyebrows!
As long as he completed the mission, the reward would be automatically distributed.
After changing his clothes, he headed to the construction site again.
When he arrived at the construction site, Lin Tian had already left.
“I remember that the hole seems to be under a bush on the east side.”
Luo Chen, who did not know what had happened just now, was carefully searching for the dark hole.
“Holy shit!”
As he searched, Luo Chen suddenly felt the ground under his feet disappear. Then, he felt his entire body descending rapidly!
Thump!
Luo Chen fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a wave of dust.
“Ahem! If not for the Marrow Cleansing Pill, I would have died here today.”
Luo Chen rubbed his back, glad that his physique had undergone a tremendous change.
Otherwise, with his previous sloppy body, if he fell from this height, he would have been crippled even if he did not die.
After taking a breath, Luo Chen stood up and observed his surroundings.
There were walls all around the cave, but there was a narrow path on the left that could only be passed by one person.
“The Taiyi Divine Needle manual is probably in here.”
Luo Chen walked in.
Although the environment was very dark, because of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, Luo Chen could still see very clearly.
After passing through the narrow path, Luo Chen arrived at a secret chamber completely made of stone.
There was a coffin in the middle of the secret chamber.
Luo Chen walked over and opened the coffin. A rotten smell came from inside.
Then, he saw a skeleton lying there. The skeleton was holding a book.
The words “Taiyi Divine Needle” were written on it!
“Senior, I’ll be the one to pass down your medical skills this time!”
Luo Chen bowed sincerely and picked up the Taiyi Divine Needle manual with both hands.
He opened the medical book. Other than the words, there were also pictures.
In the past, Luo Chen would not have understood a single word.
But now that he had undergone a round of marrow cleansing, Luo Chen’s brain was improved. In a short while, he memorized the entire medical book.
“Chinese medicine is really broad and profound.”
After reading it, Luo Chen sighed sincerely.
This recorded the detailed meridians and various acupoints of a person, as well as the techniques used for acupuncture.
Just this book alone would probably take several generations of medical sages to complete.
Luo Chen stood rooted to the ground and thought for a while before tearing off the most important pages of the medical book.
He was worried that it was inevitable for Lin Tian to obtain the medical book. Even if he brought it back, it might be obtained by Lin Tian by chance.
If it was destroyed, Lin Tian might even obtain better medical books. That would be even worse.
Tearing off a few pages would not delay Lin Tian from obtaining this book in the future, but at least the outcome would be completely different.
Not to mention missing a few pages, even missing the correct acupuncture spot by one centimeter could cause extremely serious consequences.
At that time, even if Lin Tian learned this incomplete medical book, it would only increase his pain in the future.
Then, Luo Chen placed the medical book back into the coffin and even removed the traces of his footprints before leaving.
What Luo Chen did not know was that the few pages he tore off were quite significant. The acupuncture technique was now incomplete and for the person whom this incomplete acupuncture technique was used on, his penis would start shrinking because the messed up meridians would cause reverse growth. One might not even be able to see his dingy after some time…
After cleaning up all the traces, Luo Chen returned home.
After returning to his room, the System’s rewards were distributed.
12 golden needles carved with ancient totems appeared in Luo Chen’s hand.
Luo Chen wrapped these golden needles in a handkerchief and carefully placed them in the drawer.
“Eh? Who called me so many times?”
After putting the golden needles away, Luo Chen realized that he had more than ten missed calls.
Because his phone was on silent mode just now, he did not notice it.
After taking a look and realizing that it was Shen Shuyi who had called him, Luo Chen called back.
Soon, the call went through.
“Luo Chen, why didn’t you answer your phone? I thought something had happened to you!”
As soon as the call was picked up, Shen Shuyi’s concerned voice came from the other end.
Luo Chen teased, “I didn’t notice since I was driving just now. Why? Are you concerned about me?”
Shen Shuyi was also a little embarrassed. “Who… who cares about you? I was just reminded that you’ll have to follow me to the construction site to distribute the salaries tomorrow. I’ll also announce the cooperation between our two families at that time.”
In such a situation, a high-level person-in-charge like Shen Shuyi had to be there personally to salvage the company’s good image.
As for the announcement of the cooperation, it was for her other peers in the outside world to see. It was more or less a warning.
Liang Qi had already printed the specific cooperation contract and Shen Shuyi had also signed it. They were just short of making it public.
Luo Chen thought for a moment and said, “Just bring a few higher-ups of the Shen Corporation over tomorrow. It won’t be good for you if I go. After all, my reputation is still not good.”
When Luo Chen appeared, it was inevitable that some people would think that Shen Shuyi was relying on him. If he did not appear, it would seem like it’s just a strategic cooperation between the two families.
Shen Shuyi was also a little unhappy. “What reputation? Those are just rumors! In any case, I’m not afraid!”
She felt indignant for Luo Chen and thought that the rumors were a result of jealousy.
“Alright, just do as I say. I’ll step in if there’s a chance in the future.”
Luo Chen was still insistent. Shen Shuyi also knew that the other party was thinking for her, so she did not force him.
After hanging up, Luo Chen’s status in Shen Shuyi’s heart rose again.
…
On Lin Tian’s side, after returning to the Shen family’s villa, he racked his brains to think of a way to make Luo Chen reveal his true colors.
Suddenly, he thought of someone. It was the Shen family’s butler, Zhou Fusheng.
Zhou Fusheng was both a butler and a secretary.
Zhou Fusheng had participated in the construction project this time, and those workers had seen him before.
As long as Zhou Fusheng could prove that the two families were not cooperating, would he still have to worry about those workers not wanting to cause trouble?
Thinking of this, Lin Tian decisively went to Zhou Fusheng’s room.
Usually, when he had nothing to do, Zhou Fusheng liked to listen to opera in his room.
This time was no exception. When Lin Tian entered, Zhou Fusheng was lying on a chair and listening to music.
He was very surprised to see Lin Tian enter.
“Lin Tian, what are you doing here? Go and stand guard at the entrance if you have nothing to do!”
Zhou Fusheng scolded casually.
“Hehe, of course I called you here for something. Did you hear that the Luo Family is going to cooperate with the Shen Family to build a construction site?”
With that, Lin Tian locked the door.
“How is that possible? There’s no such thing at all.”
Zhou Fusheng replied subconsciously.
Less than five people knew about the cooperation between the Luo Family and the Shen Family.
After all, once this kind of news spread, it would be explosive. It had to be completely confirmed before it could be made public.
Although Shen Shuyi was holding the contract now, there was no need to report everything to a small butler.
This caused Zhou Fusheng to think that this matter was fake as well.
Lin Tian revealed an expression that said, “That’s good. There’s something I need you to prove for me.”
