Chapter 220 Last Day Of The Exchange
Joseph thought to himself, “You sure know how to dream. Dream on then. There’s everything in the dream.” Without showing it on his face, he said, “I said that I won’t take in disciples anymore. If I could take in disciples, why would I need to trouble my disciple to teach on my behalf? Alright, I’m tired. I want to take a nap. Gwen, go home. Send my regards to your grandfather.” Seeing that Joseph was chasing him away, Gwen panicked and immediately said, “Old Mr. Quigley, it’s okay. I can be your disciple. Anyway, I’m doing this to learn from traditional medicine so that I can help the people of Chanaea in the future.
“However, Old Mr. Quigley, I’m now a representative of modern medicine. Let’s not publicize the matter of me being your grand-disciple, okay? After I’m done with the matters at hand, I’ll immediately come back and focus on learning from you in a systematic manner.” She decided not to make it public for now. First, she would follow Joseph’s disciple and learn Joseph’s inherited acupuncture techniques. In addition, she would ask about Energizing Pills.
There were rumors on Jadeborough’s side that the Energizing Pills were most likely refined by Joseph. After becoming the disciple of Joseph’s disciple, as long as they were familiar with each other, it would be easy to ask about this matter. “Gwen, I’ve thought about it, but I still don’t think it’s appropriate. When the time comes, your grandfather will call me and berate me for bullying his precious granddaughter.” Joseph deliberately refused.
As expected, Gwen panicked and said, “That won’t happen, Old Mr. Quigley. If my grandfather knows that I have become your grand-disciple, he would be overjoyed. After all, at my age, I’m also old enough to be your granddaughter. I wonder when I can meet my master.” She hoped it would be soon. “My disciple is coming over tomorrow. I’ll introduce you two then,” Joseph said meaningfully. “Alright, thank you, grandmaster.” Gwen was shrewd enough to call Joseph grandmaster.
“Alright, I’ll take a nap. I’m old and useless now. I’ll be sleepy if I sit down and wake up if I lie down. Sigh, it’s going to be difficult,” Joseph said. Gwen waited for an opportunity to curry favor. “Grandmaster, I prepared some meds for you. Make something out of them. It’s good for your health.” “Okay, thank you.” “Grandmaster, you’re too kind. I won’t disturb your rest then. See you tomorrow.” Gwen immediately stood up and bode him farewell. “Okay, see you tomorrow!” There was still a surprise for Gwen tomorrow.
Annalise spent the entire afternoon refining the Vigor Consolidating Pill. It took more than five hours. She was sweating profusely from exhaustion. In order for medicinal ingredients to be completely evenly heated, she shook the clay pot until her hands got so sore that they almost fell like someone else’s. Julian’s heart ached. Seeing Annalise’s focused expression, he did not dare to disturb her.
