The Favorable Divine Doctor

Just as Liu Du had become the focus of everyone, on the eastern peak of Nature's Mystery Sect, two old Daoists quietly watched.    

    

"This kid is not bad. He seems to have some ability and has the ability to see through people's movements. What does the sect head think?" The white haired old man laughed and looked at Danchenzi.    

    

The old Daoist was one of the two Dan Cheng Cultivators of the Nature's Mystery Sect, the great elder of the Nature's Mystery Sect, Lie Shanxiu. The other was Danchenzi.    

    

Danchenzi said indifferently: "This child is a little smart, although his talent is average, he is considered outstanding within the sect. However, this old man does not think highly of him."    

    

As he said till here, Danchenzi couldn't help but feel a little sad. Once upon a time, the Nature's Mystery Sect was also a famous sect in the Lou Lan.    

    

There were only two Dan Cheng cultivators in a sect that had once been incomparably glorious, and there was only one person in the ninth level of the body cutting.    

    

Lie Shanxiu frowned, "Why does Sect Master say that?" Honestly speaking, Lie Shanxiu was extremely satisfied with Liu Du. Whether it was his character or attitude towards cultivation, Liu Du felt that something was amiss. If it wasn't for the sect rules, he would have accepted Liu Du as his last disciple long ago.    

    

Up until now, Lie Shanxiu had never accepted any disciples, and only when he saw Liu Du, did he have a change of heart.    

    

Danchenzi took a glance at Lie Shanxiu and said, "The ancestor has been in closed door cultivation for a long time, and still doesn't know if he's alive or dead. Although there are always thunder that flies out every few years, this time there are only three of them, and with Wang Lin, there are exactly three of them.    

    

Lie Shanxiu let out a long sigh. He knew that Danchenzi was telling the truth as well.    

    

One of them only cultivated for a few months, and the other one had not only extremely high innate talent, but also a strong backing from a huge clan.    

    

Lie Shanxiu said: "No matter what, this Liu Du is worth nurturing."    

    

Danchenzi nodded his head: "After the inner disciples' competition is over, this old man will personally teach him. However, the most important thing is that we should first proceed with the inner disciples' competition, we can set aside other things."    

    

Lie Shanxiu continued to speak, "Recently, the Greenwood Tree has been trying to make a move, and seems to have the intention of harming Liu Du.    

    

"We can put the matters of the green wood aside, but to say that Wang Lin wanted to harm Liu Du today, if he can't even pass this stage, then there's no need to talk about other things." Danchenzi disapproved of Lie Shanxiu's words. In his eyes, whether it was Liu Du or Wang Lin, if they could really help the sect flourish, he could nurture them for a while.    

    

As the sect master, Danchenzi had a lot of things to consider. He wouldn't interfere too much just for the life and death of a disciple.    

    

Lie Shanxiu asked, "Does Sect Master not feel that it is unfair to Liu Du?"    

    

Danchenzi said: "In the world of cultivation, where is fairness? Fist strength is the truth. If Liu Du were to be killed because of this, it can only be said that he brought this upon himself and is not worth sympathizing with."    

    

Lie Shanxiu secretly sighed. What Danchenzi said was reasonable, the cultivation world was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. Without sufficient strength, offending someone you shouldn't have offended was also an unwise decision.    

    

However, Lie Shanxiu was not willing for Liu Du to die just like that, he had always thought highly of this child, and this child was also very suitable for him, to just watch him die like this, he could not bear to see.    

    

Lie Shanxiu replied, "But Sect Master..."    

    

Danchenzi interrupted Lie Shanxiu: "Brother Lie, please do not bring this up again, but, if you want to stop me, I will follow you."    

    

With that, Danchenzi's figure flashed and disappeared.    

    

Lie Shanxiu looked at Danchenzi's figure disappearing into the distance, and laughed helplessly: "This old fox, he clearly has the heart of a genius, yet he pushed the matter to me, it's truly hateful. Forget it, this old man will personally go over and stop this matter, but before that, I want to see if Liu Du is worth this old man's care."    

    

Liu Du was completely unaware of everything that had happened at the summit of the east peak. At this moment, when he felt the gazes of everyone around him, he felt like he was a clown.    

    

Liu Du's body instantly stiffened and his expression became extremely unnatural as well.    

    

In that moment, everyone's gazes all landed on Liu Du, and the cultivators around him seemed to have noticed as well, and rushed off like a tide.    

    

In just a moment, there was no one by Liu Du's side, and everything became incomparably empty. At this moment, he was like a person who had been abandoned by the whole world. He appeared so out of the blue.    

    

At this moment, he felt like a lone boat drifting in the sea, causing him to feel suffocated. He knew that no one would pity him, much less say a word for him.    

    

In the eyes of these people, he was just a person without importance, and Wang Lin was the pride of the heavens. There was no place that wasn't perfect, and he was just a clown.    

    

Liu Du's mind shook, he felt that he was powerless to turn the situation around.    

    

Wang Lin's fame was too great. At this moment, everyone was staring at Liu Du, and Wang Lin's words were still echoing in their ears, making them tremble.    

    

No one was surprised. After what happened yesterday, they all knew that Wang Lin would definitely attack them today. They looked at Liu Du as if they were watching a show.    

    

Even the seniors on the stage lowered their heads to look at this scene. They did not speak. Instead, they watched the situation unfold from the sidelines.    

    

"According to the sect rules, anything that is stolen belongs to you." Liu Du said word by word, and did not show any signs of weakness. His words were so weak, and when they fell into everyone's ears, they only made them feel that Liu Du was overestimating himself. However, there was no other choice. Liu Du had to say this. He was a human, and more importantly, a cultivator. He had his own dignity.    

    

Liu Du understood that he could have taken out the white jade gourd and given it to Wang Lin. If he had done that, he would have given Wang Lin a way out.    

    

As long as he defiled Wang Lin, kneeled down, kowtowed, and begged for mercy, Wang Lin might even forgive him.    

    

However, all of these were things that Liu Du could not do!    

    

It was not that he could not change his attitude, but rather, he was unwilling. In his heart, his dignity was more important than his existence. He was a scholar who had read the book of sages. He knew that men had gold under their knees. They could kneel to the heavens, they could kneel to their parents, but they couldn't kneel to Wang Lin.    

    

If he were to kneel and beg for mercy, although he could preserve his life, he definitely wouldn't be happy, and his path of cultivation would be ruined as well.    

    

After cultivating the way of the dao, one would cultivate his own way. Liu Du's way was clear and unobstructed in the soul, definitely not allowing himself to feel the slightest bit of unhappiness. If one's thoughts were not clear, then why would they cultivate in the Dao?    

    

So even if he knew that if he didn't give in today, he would only be met with Wang Lin's wrath, and even his life, but he wouldn't be able to do it.    

    

In order to preserve this dignity, he would rather die than bend, even if it meant his death. This was his dignity, he was not willing to kneel, he was not willing to allow others to trample on his dignity like a pitiful bug, and that feeling was even worse than death.    

    

In a life or death situation, he would rather choose dignity. Even in the eyes of many people, they would either think that he did not understand the situation, or they would think that he was stupid, and might not even know how to change the situation. However, this was him, Liu Du.    

    

Dignity was greater than anything, even if he was to die.    

    

That was why he had to say this. Even if he had to face the mountainous Wang Lin and be killed, he didn't care. As long as he had dignity, everything was fine.    

    

This was him, Liu Du, a person who would never be willing to surrender.    

    

Although it was just a few words, it seemed to have exhausted all of Liu Du's strength. So what if I die? Even if I were to die immediately, I wouldn't be afraid.    

    

You can cripple my cultivation, you can cut off my tendons, and you can even insult me. However, there is one thing you can never do, and that is to yield.    

    

Die, it's nothing. I, Liu Du am now eighteen years old, if I die, I will become a good man again eighteen years later.    

    

At this moment, the surroundings were very quiet, and his voice was like a thunderous roar. No one spoke, not even whispers.    

    

But only Liu Du knew that his words were extremely weak, and how bad his situation was.    

    

The moment Wang Lin finished speaking, a powerful pressure came forth, causing all of the bones in Liu Du's body to crack. He had the urge to kneel down.    

    

"Peak of the sixth level of body cutting! No, you have obviously already half a step into the seventh level of body cutting!"    

    

muttered to himself. Feeling the terrifying might, he felt that he could no longer endure, but, from beginning to end, he did not yield, nor did he kneel. At this moment, he was like a mountain, standing steadily.    

    

His expression was firm as he calmly looked at Wang Lin.    

    

Wang Lin's expression was still calm as he said, "I'll give my treasure to whoever I give it to. If I don't agree, no one else is allowed to take it!" His smile was still warm and gentle, and his actions were graceful as well. However, there was an extremely cold tone to it, and he took a step forward, extended his finger, and casually pointed at Liu Du.    

    

In that moment, Liu Du felt as if the air around him had become frozen, a suffocating feeling surrounded him.    

    

His entire body was bound, unable to move at all. Just then, a jade pendant rose up from his waist, quickly releasing a faint light aura, in a blink of an eye it enveloped Liu Du.    

    

From start to finish, Wang Lin had a faint smile on his face. It was as if that finger was just a casual action.
