"What? Are you nuts"
Yang Ding didn't reply just confidently smiled.
"Ah Wen Ning, I apologize in his stead. Believe me, he isn't a bad man"
Yang Ding interrupted him.
"Why don't you check for yourself if the pain is gone?"
"Huff"
The girl got up from her sleeping posture and stood up on her two legs. While standing beside her Yang Ding looked nothing but comical with a missing leg.
The girl stretched her arms a bit and then rubbed her butt.
An astonished expression endowed her face.
"The pain's gone… Oh my God!"
Yang Ding smirked.
"Told you"
"Yes thank you, doctor. You are miraculous indeed. I had met many medics before but no one was able to suggest anything that would lead to a complete recovery like this."
Yang Ding nodded.
The girl seemed cheerful.

A weight was lifted off his shoulders. If this experiment would have failed he would have been in a huge mess.
"Thank you. Hmm by the way we never talked about your fees and I regret it now. I hope you don't ask for something too impossible"
"I just want a 1500 Xin young Miss"
"1500! Isn't that expensive!"
1500 Xin is truly a huge amount for a young sect disciple. It might be something equating to a week of hunting monsters.
"I bet that might be. But my medication requires a lot of resources to be put together. It might seem like me just checking your profound entrances but that indeed is not the case. For all of these troubles, I am confident that I can cure any ailment, and curing all of them has the same price. So someone who has a trifle of disease shouldn't approach me. Your's young miss I believe was not a trifling pain or else so many medics wouldn't have failed with it"
"I guess you are right… I won't go back on my word… I will pay"
The girl took out a coin pouch from within her outfit and passed 1500 Xin to Yang Ding.
"Pleased to be of service to you. Will look forward to meeting you again"
Yang Ding smiled as he received the payment.
The sound of coins resounded in his hands.
"By the way, my name is Weng Ning"
Yang Ding nodded.
"I will keep that in mind, Miss Weng Ning"
"Shall I escort you back?"
Su Yang asked the girl.
"No, I can go back myself but thanks for the offer"
Weng Ning replied as she left through the door.
"Whoo!" Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
"I thought you were gonna fail and get me into serious trouble"
"You should about that before making stupid choices"
"I see you still think that way. But I don't regret my choices" Su Yang shook his head.
"Well works for me, anyway"
Yang Ding shrugged.
"But I think you overcharged that girl. Your master might not be happy"
'Oh haha. What will you feel if I tell you he gave me bonus money for this?'
"I never overcharged. The materials needed for medication cost me 1000 Xin"
"What? But you didn't use any"
"I told you didn't I? My medication procedures are different"
Yang Ding didn't even want to give an excuse to defend himself against the claim of overcharging the girl.
'But if I don't explain. I might not be getting any future customers' Yang Ding thought.
That is why he chose to explain everything to Su Yang.
And he didn't lie if one does not go for the nitty-gritty details.
He can only get customers through Su Yang.
At present, it might be taking a lot of time but once he gains a reputation, he will be able to earn a lot if he plays his card right.
But that doesn't mean that he wanted to stay in this district forever.
"Once I get back my legs I am going to go on a hunting spree to increase my cultivation level" Yang Ding whispered to himself.
"What?" Su Yang enquired. He got wind of it but wasn't able to make much sense.
"What are you doing here? Aren't we supposed to procure more money to help the poor? Shouldn't you be looking for more customers?"
"Yess"
"And one more thing. Try looking for patients in Weng Ning's friend circle. They will find it easier to believe than some other strangers"
"I see, I am going then"
He left the room storming through the door.
Yang Ding smiled.
"Such a fool"
"But he is a trustworthy fool"
Yang Ding shakes his head.
"Now back to cultivating. No maybe since I am at it I should buy some cultivation pills from the sect"
After contemplating Yang Ding shook his head again.
"No, I can't go out. The fewer people who know about my missing leg the better. Since it gonna come back soon enough"
Yang Ding closed his eyes and focused on cultivating.

Geijing Sect
In the absence of Yang Ding, Quan Ding has taken the position of the patriarch. The first few days went peaceful but… it was the quietness before the upcoming storm.
In a dark room under intense yin energy that prevented any sound to escape its boundaries, a jury of men sat faced to face to each other.
The few candles present there only illuminated some of the faces while the others were left in the dark.
"We have accumulated here to discuss the recent happenings in the sect. We had gone on a mission under the supervision of patriarch Yang Ding but he is missing ever since then. The temporary patriarch Quan Ding claims that he has found leads to the heavenly treasure and has thus gone on a secret mission. I feel that's a big fat lie but what do my fellow brethren think?" A deep and domineering voice resounded in the room.
