Chapter 1637: The Fake Doctor

Chen Ling’s heart skipped a beat.

Inside the dim theater, a weak figure was half-kneeling on the ground, accompanied by bursts of painful groans, and scarlet blood continued to flow onto the ground...

Kong Baosheng’s life force was like a limb in the wind, as if it would be completely extinguished with a gentle blow.

Chen Ling quickly stepped forward to support him:

"Baosheng!"

"I’m fine... sir..." Kong Baosheng’s voice was already extremely weak. "I’ll take some medicine... and I’ll be fine..."

"Medicine! Where is the medicine??" Li Qingshan grabbed onto it like a straw.

"In the drawer at the counter..."

Li Qingshan rushed to the counter immediately and pulled open all the drawers, and sure enough, he saw Kong Baosheng’s medicine box.

However, this time, no matter how he shook it, no pills fell out... The medicine inside had been finished.

"Damn it, why is there no medicine at a time like this??" Li Qingshan’s brows were tightly locked. "The entire Cangyun Domain is short of medicine now, even the government has no medicine... What should we do?"

Just then, a figure suddenly flashed through Chen Ling’s mind!

"I know someone who might have medicine!"

This sentence ignited a glimmer of hope in Li Qingshan’s heart. He turned to look at Chen Ling, and Chen Ling walked straight out of the theater without hesitation!

"Brother Li, you stay here and take care of Baosheng."

"Diamond Q, you go to the clinic and invite Mr. Han, let him lock Baosheng’s life first..."

"I’ll be back soon!"

……

A wriggling figure of flesh and roots fell rapidly through the clouds and mist.

Layer after layer of clouds were like the boundaries of parallel worlds. Every time the Turbid Calamity fell and pierced through a layer of clouds, the weather in the interval was completely different... some were azure and bright with clear skies, others were frosty and dark with drizzling rain...

The most critical thing was that this world of clouds and mist seemed infinite; even though it had been falling here for a long time, it still couldn't see the shadow of the earth.

And the Cangyun Lord had not appeared for a long time either.

The Turbid Calamity had thought that falling into the Cangyun Lord’s trap would inevitably lead to a fierce battle, but who knew that the Cangyun Lord hadn't attacked it yet... Could it be that the Cangyun Lord didn't dare to kill it and just wanted to trap it to death using this method?

Then he was too naive.

The Turbid Calamity’s body continued to fall. After crashing through another layer of clouds, the surrounding sky became visibly gloomy.

Ink-black clouds floated in the atmosphere, and lightning bolts like swimming dragons roamed among these endless black clouds. The roaring thunder was like heavy drums being frantically beaten in the void, and the dull sound was deafening.

Oppression, anger, madness, despair...

When the Turbid Calamity fell into this weather, extremely intense emotions impacted its mind through these clouds and mist. It seemed to be able to perceive the state of this world.

Or rather...

The state of the Cangyun Lord.

The Turbid Calamity’s form was swallowed by the ink-black clouds. As it flashed through the clouds, in a trance, it seemed to see a white-clad figure silently suspended between the lightning of the black clouds. He lowered his head, and an indescribable aura surged from his body...

Like that oppressive and dull sky when a thunderstorm is coming.

No one knew what the Cangyun Lord was thinking at this moment.

But when he slowly raised his head and those soul-shaking eyes locked onto the Turbid Calamity falling through the clouds, an extreme sense of fear, as if being stared at by a beast in a desperate situation, rose from the bottom of the Turbid Calamity’s heart...

In an instant,

Ten thousand thunders exploded,

And the endless black clouds became as pale as day!!

……

*Dong, dong, dong—*

"Dr. Jia!!"

A dull knocking sound rang out.

Urgent raindrops hit the window. In the dim clinic, a weak figure slowly opened his eyes.

Dr. Jia was unlucky. Yesterday, after he gave his queue number to the A-Qiang brothers, he happened to be stuck at the end of the line... Today, he got up early, wanting to continue queuing at the entrance of the medical hall, but who knew that so many Calamities would emerge on the street.

The citizens who were originally queuing fell into chaos, and Dr. Jia also fled in a panic. But before he could run to his clinic, a downpour poured down, soaking him like a drowned rat.

Rainwater dripped onto the floor of the clinic along Dr. Jia’s wet sleeves. The cold eroded his body, and the weakness brought by hunger made him feel as if he were in an ice cellar...

Just when his consciousness was a bit blurred, the urgent knocking on the door forcibly woke him up.

Dr. Jia took a deep breath and staggered to his feet, preparing to walk over to open the door. But just as he touched the doorknob, a thunderclap rang out from the rainstorm. Under the reflection of the pale lightning, a ghostly figure had already arrived inside the clinic...

This scene scared Dr. Jia out of his wits. His legs went soft, and he leaned directly against the door, his face as pale as paper.

"Dr. Jia, it’s me." Chen Ling looked at him apologetically,

"The situation is urgent, so I’ve come uninvited... I have no malice, I just want to ask for something from Dr. Jia."

Seeing Chen Ling’s somewhat familiar face, Dr. Jia’s terrified mind finally calmed down a little. He looked Chen Ling up and down with a strange expression for a moment:

"You... what do you want?"

"I heard that in all of Cangyun, only Dr. Jia has the most medicine." Chen Ling tossed an empty medicine box to Dr. Jia. "A junior in my family is ill and needs some of this medicine... as for the reward, you can name your price."

Dr. Jia looked at the medicine box and then at Chen Ling. He hesitated for a long time before nodding...

"Alright... but I don't have much of this medicine, only some scattered ones."

"That’s fine, what about the reward?"

"Same as last time, gold will do."

Chen Ling didn't hesitate at all, took a gold brick out of his arms, and stuffed it into Dr. Jia’s arms.

Dr. Jia weighed it briefly and then set the gold aside for the time being:

"Wait for me here for a moment... I’ll go to the back to get the medicine."

"Alright."

Dr. Jia pulled open the small door on the side of the clinic, walked straight into a room that looked like a storage room, and locked the door from the inside.

Inside the clinic, Chen Ling watched the direction Dr. Jia had left, his ruby-like eyes narrowing slightly...

……

Storage room.

Dr. Jia wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking somewhat nervous.

He pulled open a drawer, carefully took out a small transparent plastic bag from the corner, shook out a few strands of some unknown medicinal powder, then took a bag of edible starch from another bag, mixed the two together, pressed them hard, and poured them into empty capsules.

He set these capsules aside, hesitated for a moment, then poured out a few pills of unknown origin from the drawer, mixed them with the capsules, wrapped them all in newspaper, and prepared to push the door open and leave...

However, the moment he turned around, it was as if he had bumped into a wall, and he fell backward with a thud!

A pair of ruby-like, eerie eyes slowly opened in the dimness...
