Chapter 339: The Meeting Gift
Guan Wenzhi was left speechless in an instant, as he had simply assumed that books were of no practical use.
Lei Qianjue continued, "The Meng Family all practice a kind of grand righteous Qi, but I'm not sure what exactly it is. That woman you mentioned, Meng Jiu, I heard about her roughly ten years ago. Back then, the Meng Family released a message in search of Meng Jiu's whereabouts. Because the Meng Family is a very mysterious clan, I paid some attention to it at the time. Unexpectedly, after ten years, you also know of Meng Jiu. Could it be that you have already found her?"
Xu Hao smiled and said, "Not yet, I've just heard people mention her and got curious, so I asked."
Why exactly did Meng Jiu flee to this place?
Why was she chased after initially?
Why does the Meng Family want to find her whereabouts?
Why doesn't she seek help from the Meng Family's members?
These are all questions at the moment, but, Xu Hao would not easily disclose Meng Jiu's whereabouts to others.
After all, from what he could see, Meng Jiu had not done anything unethical; she was entitled to hide her whereabouts, and naturally, Xu Hao would not betray her trust.
Lei Qianjue knew that Xu Hao was definitely hiding something, but he didn't ask further. He was more concerned about what Xu Hao had just said regarding the method to treat Niuniu's albinism.
After Xu Hao's recent display of the Acupuncture point sealing technique, Niuniu's expression had noticeably improved and she became a bit more curious about the outside world.
However, neither her hair color nor the color of her pupils had changed.
Xu Hao said, "The biggest feature of Chinese medicine is its slow effectiveness, but it is reliable. Therefore, Old Mr. Li, there's no need to rush. After three days, Niuniu's skin color will show some changes, and within two weeks, there will be definite improvements. Within a month, I guarantee she will look like a normal person."
Upon hearing Xu Hao's confident words, a glimmer of light flashed in Niuniu's eyes, but it faded away quickly.
She was well aware of what her illness implied and understood the divine medical skills required to cure her albinism. Hence, even though Xu Hao had displayed an incredibly miraculous Acupuncture point sealing technique, she didn't hold much hope that he could cure her albinism.
Seeing Niuniu's disbelief, Xu Hao smiled and said, "Since you have become my disciple, and I have even taken you as my Eldest Disciple, I should give you something as a token."
Li Chenggong's gaze towards Xu Hao was filled with eagerness. He was curious about what Xu Hao could possibly offer Niuniu. Typically, when a master accepts a disciple, they give some sort of welcome gift.
But Niuniu didn't know to expect anything, and Li Chenggong felt embarrassed to mention it. However, Xu Hao brought it up himself.
Under everyone's gaze, Xu Hao walked over to the desk, picked up a pen, and said, "You haven't been in the sun for a long time, which has caused your body to become very weak, much weaker than normal people. I'm going to teach you an Internal Heart Method. If you diligently practice it, your body will gradually become stronger."
As he spoke, Xu Hao began to write with vigorous strokes, penning down a Mental Formula.
Since it was only a basic Mental Formula, Xu Hao didn't do much to conceal it. Moreover, Li Chenggong and his wife were smart enough to know that some things should not be easily revealed to others.
He looked at Li Chenggong and his wife, who were craning their necks to see the Mental Formula Xu Hao was writing, and smiled, "This Mental Formula is actually of no use to you, because it's specifically designed for women to cultivate."
Lady Li said hastily, "Divine Doctor Xu, can I practice it?"
Xu Hao smiled and said, "Of course you can! If you diligently practice it, Lady Li, your skin will become better and better, and may even rival that of a young girl! Practicing External Kung Fu can lead to rapid progress initially, but that's because it consumes the body's potential, resulting in a shorter lifespan. Of course, in the late stage, it will provide benefits to oneself, extending life. However, Internal Heart Method is different. It is difficult to cultivate in the early stage, and becomes even more challenging in the middle and late stages. But it continuously increases lifespan, so it's not an exaggeration that highly skilled practitioners can live over a hundred years. Extending life and improving health are its main purposes, while beauty and youthful appearance are just side benefits."
Upon hearing this, Lady Li was overjoyed. Although she was much younger than Li Chenggong, the passage of time had gradually brought wrinkles to her face, which no amount of makeup could hide, causing her to feel anxious and fear that Li Chenggong would slowly lose interest in her.
However, the Internal Heart Method Xu Hao provided gave her instant confidence. With her physique and the practice of this mental method, she could definitely regain her appearance from ten years ago!
After hearing this, Li Chenggong too was inwardly astounded. If what Xu Hao said was true, then the mental method he had provided was incredibly precious.
With this in mind, Li Chenggong smiled and said, "Divine Doctor Xu, since you've given such a generous gift, I can't be too stingy. The partner for the film and television base I'm establishing in Huadu will be you!"
Xu Hao smiled and said, "The mental method I gave to Niuniu is simply fulfilling the responsibility of a master. As for establishing the film and television base, Old Mr. Li should give it further consideration. Even though I would like to partner with you, Niuniu's illness is not yet cured."
