The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief

Chapter 457: News of the Seven-Star Tomb and the Ghost Gate Needle


"You should know about the needle called Ba Xia in the Ghost Gate Needle." Watching Liu Zixuan's anxious look, Old Wen decided not to keep him in suspense.

"Of course, I know. It's rumored that this Silver Needle is made from the Dragon Bone of 'Ba Xia,' one of the nine sons of a dragon. It contains infinite power and is considered the most yang item under the heavens. It's ranked fifth among the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles."

"This Silver Needle is in the Celestial Capital, but it's extraordinarily difficult to obtain." Old Qiu chuckled wryly, "I suggest you establish a firm foothold in the Celestial Capital and reach a certain level before you start searching for it!"

Liu Zixuan frowned and asked, "Where is it?"

"There's a bigshot in the Upper Three Gates known as Young Master Liu. It's rumored that he got this Ghost Gate Needle from a certain high personage. He considers the 'Ba Xia' Silver Needle as one of the most important treasures in his home."

Old Qiu paused, then smiled and said, "In the past, several eminent medical scholars and prominent figures wanted to buy this needle from him at a high price, but Young Master Liu publicly declared that the Ba Xia Silver Needle was meant to be a family heirloom. He wouldn't sell it, not for any price, not even for a fortune!"

Hearing this, Liu Zixuan's lips moved slightly. People treat it as a family heirloom, so how could they possibly sell it?

Moreover, Crazy Zhou previously mentioned that this Young Master Liu is one of the top ten influential figures in the Celestial Capital. It seems getting this Silver Needle would indeed require a great effort.

He then asked, "And what about the Seven-Star Tomb?"

"This one is relatively easier."

Old Qiu smiled and looked at Old Wen, "At the end of Mingshui Road, where Old Wen's fruit store is located, there's a teahouse called the Celestial Tea House. The Seven-Star Tomb is right underneath the teahouse's backyard."

"Celestial Tea House?" Hearing this, a strange look flashed in Old Wen's eyes, and he said to Liu Zixuan in a serious tone, "That teahouse is quite unique. Although it's small in size, it's fairly famous within the entire Celestial Capital."

"Why?" Liu Zixuan asked.

"Because their water has a distinctive taste." Old Wen laughed, "I can't put the exact flavor into words, but it's like smoking—it can get you addicted. The tea leaves they use are quite ordinary, but any tea brewed with their water leaves a lingering taste!"

"I've had tea there several times. If not for budget constraints, I might plan to go there every day!"

"Is the tea there expensive?" Liu Zixuan asked.

"Other teas are sold by the pot, but theirs is sold by the cup, not based on the price of tea leaves. It's divided into three grades: tea dust for 800 per cup, tea stems for 2800 per cup, and tea leaves for 8000 per cup!"

Old Qiu spread his hands, "With such exorbitant prices, how many people can afford to drink it every day?"

Liu Zixuan gasped upon hearing this, "This isn't just drinking tea, it's like sipping divine nectar!"

"That's not the important thing. I checked, and their water source is from underneath the backyard. I suspect it has something to do with the Seven-Star Tomb there." Old Qiu said earnestly.

With such miraculous effects, nothing else but the Seven-Star Tomb could be the explanation.

Liu Zixuan gave a bitter smile, "In summary, whether it's the Ghost Gate Needle or the Seven-Star Tomb, I can't possibly get them in a short time!"

"Indeed, at least you have to become someone of distinguished status who can enter the Celestial Tea House daily to have a chance to access their backyard!"

Old Qiu chuckled awkwardly, "But don't rush, with your abilities, achieving something in the Celestial Capital is not a hard feat."

Liu Zixuan nodded, realizing that he can only first establish his influence in the Celestial Capital for now!

"I've given you all this information for free, don't forget our initial agreement!" Old Qiu looked at Liu Zixuan and said.

Liu Zixuan snickered, "Why are you so money-minded too? As if I could cheat you!"

"Cheating, probably not; it's just I'm afraid you might forget." Old Qiu shook his head, "This year's business at the Celestial Secret Pavilion isn't going well. I'm just hoping to live off whatever treasure you find in the Seven-Star Tomb afterward!"

"With a storefront this big and still not making money, how can others survive?" Old Wen spread his hands, "Your one day's earnings here are enough for my fruit store's half-year earnings!"

"You can't compare; I'm after all dealing with big business here. If I only earned as much as a fruit store in a day, why would I still do this business?"

"You old rascal!"

The two of them, being long-time friends, exchanged a few teasing words, ending with a hearty laugh.

Old Qiu looked at the time, "It's eleven o'clock, we've chatted enough, let's grab lunch together!"

"I'm afraid I can't today; I still have some errands to run." Liu Zixuan shook his head, "I just arrived in the Celestial Capital, I need to settle down first. Once I'm settled, I'll definitely treat you two seniors!"

"Well... alright then!" Old Qiu didn't insist, "Anyway, there'll be plenty of opportunities in the future. If you need any help, feel free to come to me. I might not be able to help with other things, but when it comes to getting information in the Celestial Capital, I'm definitely your best choice!"

"I'll be counting on Mr. Qiu for guidance from now on!"

Saying thus, Liu Zixuan left the Celestial Secret Pavilion with Old Wen.

After getting in the car, Old Wen asked, "What errands do you have to run?"

"You'll know once we get back to your fruit store." Liu Zixuan smiled mysteriously and continued, "Old Wen, I'm planning to sort out the clinic's matters today. I'll need your help later to complete the paperwork for that store!"

"That's easy, I have the landlord's address, we can go find her together." At this point, Old Wen suddenly teased, "And the landlord is quite the beauty! She's around your age, young man, you might want to pursue her!"

Liu Zixuan paused, chuckling, "If possible, I might give it a shot!"

As they spoke, the car reached the location on Mingshui Road.

But when Old Wen looked towards the fruit store, his expression changed completely.

Angrily clenching his fists, "Those guys are back again. I just gave them some money yesterday and they took away a box of my oranges. Coming here every day, they really have no shame!"

Following Old Wen's gaze, Liu Zixuan saw Brother Niu with a few men standing at the fruit store's entrance, each dressed rather formally, with a large box beside them.

Liu Zixuan chuckled meaningfully, "Don't worry, it could be a good thing!"

"Dealing with people like them could ever be good?" Old Wen immediately shook his head and said, "Little doctor, maybe you should just turn the car around and we can go somewhere else. If they don't see me, they'll probably leave soon! I really don't want to deal with them; every time they come it's either asking for money or taking away a lot of my fruit for nothing!"

"Don't worry, this time they won't dare!" Liu Zixuan smiled mysteriously, stepping on the gas pedal, and headed straight for the fruit store entrance...
