The Divine Doctor and Stay-at-home Dad

"Where is he? Where did the boy go?"

The First Elder couldn't figure out how this boy had managed to escape under her nose.

Her feet rose into the air and she hovered a hundred meters above the ground. Her powerful momentum covered the entire mountain. Her Divine Consciousness kept searching.

However, it was still quiet on the mountain after she searched for a long time. Except for some birds chirping, there was no other sound, let alone the shadow of Qin Haodong.

"Bastard, you really piss me off!"

The angry First Elder struck out with her palm. A boulder weighing tens of tons next to her was smashed into powder. For a moment, smoke and dust flew in all directions!

In the Seven Storeys Pagoda, Qin Haodong breathed a long sigh of relief. He was free from the old woman at last.

The Seven Storeys Pagoda was good, but it had a flaw. That was he had to go out where he came in from.

He didn't know whether the First Elder of the Ghost King Sect would be there all the time. Once she caught him again, he would be in great trouble. Thus, he could only calm down and cultivate here.

The Spiritual Qi in the seventh level of the Pagoda was dense. The result of cultivating here was excellent. He cultivated here for a full seven days before slowly opening his eyes.

He felt the surging Genuine Qi in his body. If he cultivated here all the time, he could break through to the middle stage of the Combination Realm in a few years.

But he couldn't wait any longer. These seven days were already the limit of his patience. He had to go out and take a look at the situation.

He took out some food from the Storage Ring and ate a good meal. Next, he tried to summon the Three-legged Golden Toad.

This big toad bled a lot after being shot by the God-killing Arrows near the Doomsday Forest last time. Its vitality was slightly affected. It had been in a deep sleep, so it couldn't come out to help him.

After summoning it twice, there was still no response from the Spirit Beast Pouch. The Three-legged Golden Toad was still asleep.

It seemed like he could only go out alone. With a thought, he exited the Seven Storeys Pagoda.

At this moment, it was night. The bright moon hung in the sky. Bright and clear moonlight illuminated the entire mountain range. All was still and quiet.

"Fortunately, it seems that the old woman has left!"

Qin Haodong breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt numb because his acupoints were locked by someone. Then, he was tied up with a rope.

"Boy, I underestimated you. You have quite a few tricks up your sleeve."

With a charming voice, the First Elder with the golden mask appeared in front of him.

Qin Haodong regretfully said, "Have you been waiting here for so many days? Don't you feel bored?"

"I waited to catch a mouse. It was not boring."

Although the First Elder was wearing a mask, there was a smile in her eyes. "I knew no one could escape under my eyes. Although you suddenly disappeared, you must still be here. You just hid through a trick."

Qin Haodong sighed and helplessly said, "You win!"

It seemed that he had underestimated the patience of the old monster. If he had known earlier, he would have cultivated in the pagoda for a few more days.

The First Elder grabbed his collar and looked straight into his eyes. Then, she said, "Boy, do you think we can negotiate now?"

Qin Haodong said, "I'm just a captive now. Do I still have the right to object?"

"It's good that you know that!" The First Elder added, "Apart from the two conditions that I've mentioned earlier, I'll add one more condition. Tell me how you've managed to hide earlier!"

Qin Haodong said, "In fact, it's just a method. Let me go and I'll show you."

Not only his acupoints were locked but he was also tightly tied up. The other end of the rope was in the hand of the First Elder. Thus, he couldn't escape even if he wanted to use the Seven Storeys Pagoda.

Now, he could only think of a way to distract the attention of the First Elder, and then find a chance to run away.

"Little fellow, do you really think I'm a child?"

The First Elder's tone changed and she said in a cold voice, "This is your last chance. Quick tell me. Or, you will regret it."

Qin Haodong looked calm on the surface. In fact, he was very anxious in his heart.

Out of the three conditions proposed by this woman, apart from refining pills, the remaining two conditions were his deepest secrets. How could he tell her?

"You untie me first. Otherwise, I won't be able to tell you."

"Stop dreaming. Do you really think I don't dare to kill you?" the First Elder said and her body exuded the formidable killing intent.

Qin Haodong was not to be swayed. He knew very well that if he disclosed his secrets, this woman would definitely kill him and take the Seven Storeys Pagoda away from him.

At this point, he could only take a risk and said, "You tried so hard but got nothing from me. I guess you don't want to kill me!"

The First Elder looked coldly at him. After a long silence, she gnashed her teeth and said, "Boy, don't think that I can't do anything to you just because you won't speak. Now I'll let you taste the power of Mind Reading Skill from our Ghost King Sect."

She had lost so many subordinates this time and worked hard for so many days. If she couldn't get anything from Qin Haodong, she really wouldn't give up.

"Mind Reading Skill?"

An idea suddenly popped up in Qin Haodong's head. Although he had never come into contact with this kind of skill, he could tell from the name that it was similar to Mind-manipulating. Both of them were mental skills.

The disadvantage of all mental skills was that the mental force of the opponent must not be as strong as the user. Otherwise, the trick would backfire on the user. Although the consequences were different, they would not be good.

The Spirit in his mind sea was much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators. So long as the other side used the Mind Reading Skill, there would be an opportunity for him.

He was happy in his heart. However, he pretended to be timid. "Let me tell you. Don't mess around. If your Mind Reading Skill makes me stupid, you won't get anything."

"You're a warrior at the stage of the Combination Realm. You won't be so vulnerable."

The First Elder did treat him as an ordinary warrior at the stage of the Combination Realm. She never thought that her mental force was not as strong as that of the other party, nor did she think that it would backfire on her.

Normally, there was a big difference in levels between the early stage of the Combination Realm and the early stage of the Grand Completion Realm, and the mental force was even more vast. It was impossible for it to backfire on her.

However, she did not know that Qin Haodong was not an ordinary person. His Spirit was stronger than that of a cultivator at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm.

"Please don't do that. Let's discuss it again, okay? I'll refine pills for you. I can refine as many as you want. However, the other two are my secrets. I can't tell you."

"There's no need for you to say anything now!"

The First Elder grabbed Qin Haodong's collar. Her eyes flashed with gorgeous light. Her invisible mental force entered his brain and attacked his mind sea.

There was a flash of joy in Qin Haodong's eyes. His strength was not as good as hers. The only thing he had that was stronger than hers was his mental force.

The Mind Reading Skill of the First Elder entered the mind sea of Qin Haodong and tried to dig out all his secrets.

However, just as her mental force entered, the pressure that covered the sky and the earth suddenly converged on her. Qin Haodong's extremely strong mental force surrounded hers.

"What is going on? How can his mental force be so strong?"

The face of the First Elder turned pale from shock. Never in her dreams could she have imagined that the mental force of a cultivator at the stage of the Combination Realm could be far stronger than hers.

Thinking of the consequence of her skill backfiring, she quickly withdrew her mental force and tried to escape from Qin Haodong's mind sea.

But it was too late. This was Qin Haodong's home field. In addition, his Spirit was stronger than that of the other party. His mental force wrapped around that of the First Elder in an instant.

The First Elder was anxious. If her own mental force was left here, her body outside would become an empty shell. Of course, this was not what she wanted.

She organized her own mental force and rushed out crazily. The two powerful mental forces collided with each other, which resulted in an earth-shattering crash.

Although Qin Haodong had the Spirit of a cultivator at the stage of the Tribulation Realm, it was not complete. This Spirit was just a part of it.

Therefore, even though his mental force was stronger than that of the First Elder, it had not reached the level of absolute suppression. If he forcibly destroyed the mental force of the First Elder, his Spirit would also be seriously injured.

After careful consideration, he finally released a gap and let the mental force of the First Elder escape.

Even so, his Spirit was still damaged to a certain extent. After all, the mental force of a cultivator at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm was extremely strong, much stronger than that of Hu Xiaoxian at that time.

Meanwhile, the First Elder's loss was even more severe than his. Half of her mental force disappeared and only the other half escaped.

Qin Haodong finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although his Spirit was damaged, he was still alive.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the First Elder on the opposite side.

The First Elder fell to the ground on her back. Although she was still breathing, she was in a coma. It seemed that her loss just now was more serious.

For now, he was finally out of danger. He frantically activated the energy within his body to open up the acupoints locked by the First Elder.

It was a pity that the First Elder was a master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm. In order to prevent him from escaping, she used a very special method of locking his acupoints. Thus, he tried for a long time, but to no avail.

He tried to summon the Three-legged Golden Toad again. As long as this toad could be summoned out, it could immediately untie the rope on his body and take him to a safe place. Then, he could slowly unlock his acupoints.

However, the result was the same as before. The Three-legged Golden Toad was still sleeping. It still didn't respond.

Right at this moment, the sound of the howling of wolves echoed in the night.

"Damn it! Will I be so unlucky?"

Now one of them was in a coma, and the acupoints of the other were locked. If a wolf came, it would really be troublesome. Both of them would become wolf dung in an instant.

Along with the successive howls, three Gale Wolves whose eyes flickered with dim light appeared on the peak of the mountain.

"Oh, My God. This kind of powerful demonic beast! How am I supposed to survive?"

Looking at the bloodthirsty light flashing in the eyes of the Gale wolves, Qin Haodong shouted desperately, "Wake up! Quickly wake up! The wolves are coming!"

He couldn't wait to kick the First Elder up. Although the consequence of falling into the hands of the Ghost King Sect was not good, it was better than being fed to these wolves.

Unfortunately, he couldn't move anything except his mouth.

There was still no response from the First Elder. He tried to summon the Three-legged Golden Toad again, but it didn't respond at all.

Although the Gale Wolf was a demonic beast, it was as cunning as the wild wolf on the earth.

They approached slowly as if they wanted to see if the two creatures in front of them were dangerous or not.

Seeing the three Gale Wolves getting closer and closer, he could even smell the blood scent emanating from their bodies.

As if feeling that the two people in front of them were not dangerous a all, the eyes of a Gale Wolf flashed with a bloodthirsty light. Then, with a roar, it pounced on the First Elder and was about to fiercely bite her throat with its sharp teeth.

Qin Haodong's heart was on tenterhooks in an instant. Although they were enemies, the First Elder was his last support. If she was bitten to death by the Gale Wolf, he would also be eaten by these wolves.
