Chapter 184: Earthfiend Sect Mongrels
At the hall’s infirmary.
Su Wangchuan removed his leather armor and bared his upper body, allowing Physician Liao to apply medicine before wrapping a strip of white bandage around his chest.
Physician Liao said, “Hall Master, fortunately the sword did not cut deep into the flesh. The wound is minor—a light injury at most. This old man has applied the finest ointment. If you also take this Blood-Activating Pill, the wound will scab over and heal within two days.”
“Many thanks, Physician Liao.”
“You are too courteous, Hall Master. You guard the hall day and night, and now you have driven out the Earthfiend Sect villains for the county, even suffering injury in the process. You are the one who has truly worked hard. This small matter is only my duty.” Physician Liao packed away his medicine box with a gentle smile. “This old man observes that your bones are strong and your qi channels long and steady. It seems it will not be long before you stand shoulder to shoulder with the Gang Leader. Allow me to offer my congratulations in advance.”
Su Wangchuan paused.
He had not expected this old man—who did not practice martial arts—to discern from his physique that he was on the verge of breaking through to Second-Rank martial artist. Interesting.
“Heh. It is still early. Do not speak of this matter to outsiders.”
“Yes. I understand.”
