Chapter 620
(Unedited)
…
Two weeks later…
Shin Jiao has already received more rewards from the palace. Plus, the whole capital city suddenly has a feel of gloominess inside it. It is said that the small village a day away from the city has been attacked by so unknown force and was wiped out.
When the imperial soldiers arrive in that village everyone was already dead. More than five hundred people died with their bodies mutilated and defiled.
Everyone said that it was the work of so cult or a bandit group, but so far no one knew what really happened in that place.
At this ti, Shin Jiao has already settled down in his new house and busied himself working with his plans. Bailao Di and Jie Ming are also helping him in the clinic while he was busy crafting things.
After a week of trial and error, he finally finished the first-ever ultrasound machine. At first, he was thinking of an X-ray but it is hard to produce a stable electric current in this era. And the chanism is a bit complex and not that reliable.
However, with his knowledge and sharp senses, he imdiately thought of using sounds. This idea just ca into him as he was perplexed in that fight inside the palace. If only he has his absolute sense or even just his spiritual sense, then the emperor might not have been stabbed.
And so after thinking for a while he thought of sonar.
After a day of trial and error, he is able to determine the right sound frequency. And after making himself a sonar module he also has the impulse to make an ultrasound machine.
And after many days of toil and labor, he finally finished the machine.
"Doctor Ji, what's that?" Sue Na asked in confusion.
"Oh, this… this is a special machine. Do you want to see how it works?" Shin Jiao said while wiping so of the greases on his fingers.
Sue Na imdiately nodded her head in excitent.
Shin Jiao showed her how to operate the machine. To protect any human contact with the power source, which is the white stone, Shin Jiao combine the ultrasound with a healing vat. So the patient would need to lie on the bed and a transducer probe would scan their body.
Unlike normal ultrasound from the earth, what Shin Jiao created is a combination of ultrasound, scanning systems, and arrays. With his knowledge and experience in sonar and his sharp mind because of his cultivation level, he is able to produce a machine that can act like what he could do in looking inside the human body.
As he showed Sue Na how the machine works, the woman was entranced and was truly astonished. She never would have thought that such a thing could exist in this world.
Shin Jiao also warned her about so of the parts that should never be touched. This is because once soone touches those parts. Their strength would be thoroughly sapped.
The next day, the clinic was closed as Shin Jiao introduces the machine to the two doctors who have already considered the clinic as their place of study and practice.
When Shin Jiao showed Bailao Di and Jie Ming the machine, they were a bit confused at first. However, once they saw how it functions, the excitent was clearly written all over their faces.
For the whole day that day, Shin Jiao instructed them about the machine, and they also tried it on themselves. They even discovered that Jie Ming has a cyst on his back which was removed by Bailao Di with Shin Jiao's supervision.
After the whole day of excitent, they had dinner in Shin Jiao's courtyard.
"Doctor Ji, isn't it dangerous to leave such a machine in that the clinic? What if people with bad intentions would try to rob it?" Jie Ming asked with a concerned look.
Hearing his words, Bailao Di and Sue Na just smile.
This is because Bailao Di accidentally discovered that the clinic is like an impenetrable fortress when he wanted to open it a few days ago. Sue Na explained to him that it was locked with a mysterious array.
"Haha… they can try, but the question is, can they carry it out?" Shin Jiao casually said.
Everyone was a bit dumbfounded at this statent. But it was a fact. Only he and Sue Na knew how to detach that thing from the ground.
The group had dinner and began to discuss things pertaining to the clinic.
…
anwhile, the emperor decided to call upon Shin Jiao that night after dinner.
And Shin Jiao imdiately went to the palace. He was sent to the emperor's study room.
"Ah… Doctor Ji… I heard that you still could not rember who you really are?" the emperor greeted and asked while thinking of sothing.
"Yes, but I don't worry about that anymore your majesty. I am happy with my life now." Shin Jiao said with a polite smile.
"Anyway, I'm here to grant you 1 wish. This is my personal thanks for saving this old life of mine."
"Haha… your majesty is generous. It is my honor to be of service."
"Anyway, what do you wish this old man could give you? A kingdom? Beautiful wives? Or money and land? Which one do you like?"
Shin Jiao was silent for a bit as if hesitating on sothing.
"Umm… your majesty, when I… when I was found on the battlefield and stayed at Yun Ji City. I learned about a certain place called the Valley of the Gods."
When the emperor heard this, his eyes suddenly turned solemn. Then with a grave tone, the emperor shifted his gaze towards a certain book on the shelf behind him.
He stood up and took that book, then began flipping through the pages. When he found what he is looking for, he put the book on the table and showed the page to Shin Jiao.
"The Valley of the Gods a forbidden place. Or you can say that it is a place of death and horror…" the emperor said while his gaze seems to be reminiscing sothing.
Then he began telling Shin Jiao a story that happened in his younger years. At that ti, the war between empires has not yet been escalated to this extent and he was given an opportunity to visit the other Empires.
In the Golden Dragon Empire to the southeastern part of the Silver Moon Empire, there exists a passage behind a thick mountain wall. That passage was guarded by hundreds of thousands of soldiers. This is because behind that mountain wall is the Valley of the Gods.
Every now and then, a large monstrous beast would appear near the wall and would sotis attack it. And because of that, the Golden Dragon Empire assigned that many soldiers to guard that place.
And this is the sa as the Black Iron Empire to the West.
"Sigh… the reason for this endless war is because of the iron ore deposit in the Silver Moon Empire. The Golden Dragon Empire wanted to attack us because they needed more iron… it's either that or they are just greedy… Hehe…"
"So the passage to the Valley of the Gods is towards the Golden Dragon Empire." Shin Jiao muttered.
"Young man, I know that you are searching for your past and identity. But if your path is towards the East, then I would advise you to give up. The Valley of the Gods is a place of death. Even with your power and ability, you would surely suffer and might even die."
The concern in the tone of the emperor touched Shin Jiao's heart. But he didn't want to give up on this. Now that he already got the information that he wanted plus he has already rembered that map on the book, so all he has to do now is to plan on how he could cross the border and go to the Golden Dragon Empire.
After so pleasantries and short talks, Shin Jiao left the palace.
He suddenly felt like walking tonight under the glow of the bright moon.
And so while walking he began to feel excited and the hope of returning ignited Shin Jiao's resolve once again.
While walking Shin Jiao suddenly saw a group of people wearing black clothes.
He just stopped and looks at the group.
"Doctor Ji, it seems that you are not afraid to walk in these dark alleys. Do you know that a lot of accidents are happening at this ti of the night?" one of the n said.
Shin Jiao did not say anything and just looks at them. In his mind, he is trying to determine who these people are.
"We advise you to follow us. If not, then we would hurt the woman and the child living with you." threatened the man.
Shin Jiao suddenly had so inkling to ask a question.
"Are… are you people… from… from the… Golden Dragon Empire?" he asks with fear in his eyes.
When the n heard this, one of them imdiately frowns. He did not know how this young doctor knew of their identity. So he did not want to waste more ti and would just kidnap this cowardly man and leave.
"Wait… wait…" Shin Jiao said while raising his hands.
When the n seed to be stunned, Shin Jiao's figure suddenly dashed to a dark alley near him.
"Get him! Don't let him escape!" shouted the man who is one of the mbers of General Xang's army that was left in the capital city.
But when the people chasing after Shin Jiao arrives in the alley, they could not see his shadow anymore.
"He… he's gone…" said one of them.
"Damn it! Find him! Search the area… Go now!"
The group imdiately scattered and began searching.
anwhile, Shin Jiao has already appeared inside his courtyard. He secretly crept inside his own room and began writing sothing on a piece of paper. He then took out the whole compilation of dical books from his ring and left it on the table.
Then he put his letter above it and with a smile on his face disappears from the room.
On the road, Shin Jiao was caught by the people from the Golden Dragon Empire and was taken to their hideout.
Before the break of dawn, that group left the capital in a carriage with a person tied hidden inside it.
…
The next day
Sue Na can be seen crying on the side of the bed while reading Shin Jiao's letter. Although she was a bit hurt, yet she felt thankful. She was thankful for the young man who changed her life and the life of her son.
She shifted her gaze outside of the window while looking at the morning sun.
"Doctor Ji… I promise to be the best doctor in the empire. I will learn hard, and follow in your footsteps." She muttered as tears kept flowing down her eyes.
Then a happy and grateful smile blood from her beautiful face eting the new morning with determination and new hope in her heart.
She then turns towards the bed and gently touches it.
"Thank you… thank you for everything… master.." She muttered as she left the room.
