Chapter 3

Author: Coffee’s Tea
A countdown?!

What did it mean?

The Crestfalls and Dr. Artemis looked at Andrius in confusion.

At the next second, someone said, “Look! Look at Master Crestfall!”

Everyone turned around.

Master Crestfall’s body twitched violently again and black blood spewed from his mouth. After spewing a few mouthfuls of blood, his face turned ghastly pale immediately. He fell onto the teak wood bed and lost consciousness.

The Crestfalls were frightened. They cried, “Dr. Artemis, hurry up and check on Master Crestfall!”

“Let me have a look.”

Dr. Artemis immediately checked on Master Crestfall’s condition and performed all the necessary procedures to save the man.

However, no matter how many more needles he poked into Master Crestfall, it did not reverse the condition. Instead, the needles started to mess up Master Crestfall’s blood circulation, causing black blood to seep from his nose.

Dr. Artemis grew so anxious that he sweated profusely and paled.

He realized he had made a terrible mistake! Consequently, his name and reputation would be ruined, and his mistake would claim Master Crestfall’s life!

He collapsed to the ground in disbelief and horror as his hands and legs grew weak.

Then, he suddenly thought of what Andrius said earlier. He turned to the young man immediately.

Andrius barely reacted to the sudden turn of events as if everything was within expectation.

Dr. Artemis got up and went over. He held Andrius's hand and begged, “Young man, please save Master Crestfall!”

The scene shocked every one of the Crestfalls.

Under everyone’s astonished gazes, Andrius said calmly, “You are the one who claimed you had the experience and were more qualified to save Master Crestfall. Now that Master Crestfall’s life is hanging by a thread, you want me to clean up your mess for you?”

“I…” Dr. Artemis was deeply embarrassed. “I was blind before. Please forgive me and save Master Crestfall!”

“Fine.”

Andrius went up to the bed and took a glance at the dying Master Crestfall.

Master Crestfall had saved his master before, so he could not just let the man die. Otherwise, his master would strangle him to death!

Andrius turned to Dr. Artemis and said, “Needles.”

Dr. Artemis opened his bag and searched for the right needle.

Harry went up to Dr. Artemis and asked under his breath, “Dr. Artemis, are you really going to let him do acupuncture for my father?”

“We have no other choice!” Dr. Artemis pulled out a roll of brand-new needles and handed them to Andrius.

Andrius shook his head. “It’s not enough.”

Dr. Artemis was stunned. “In acupuncture, we usually use 36 needles…”

Before Dr. Artemis could finish, Andrius said, “Master Crestfall is already having his foot in the grave. I have to use the legendary Hades’ Pin to save him.”

Dr. Artemis was once again flabbergasted and stiffened.

The term "Hades’ Pin" was like a clap of thunder echoing in his ears.

As the famous doctor in Sumeria, Dr. Artemis knew what exactly the Hades’ Pin method was. It was one of the lost techniques in acupuncture, practiced by ancient doctors. It was said that the method could save anyone who was dying.

Unfortunately, ancient scriptures only recorded pieces and bits of the method. No one knew what or how to use the Hades’ Pin method on a dying patient.

That was why he was shocked to hear that the young man wanted to save Master Crestfall’s life with the Hades’ Pin method.

Dr. Artemis pulled out another roll of silver needles and handed them to Andrius swiftly.

Andrius's hands moved at lightning speed. He held more than a dozen needles in his hands and poked them into Master Crestfall’s body accurately.

The scene left Dr. Artemis’ jaw open. Acupuncture demanded high precision and an exact amount of strength from the performer. Each position was different, and each needle must be poked with a different amount of strength. The demand for concentration and the control of strength from a doctor was extremely rigid.

Some experienced doctors could perform it as well, but at most with three needles at a time.

The young man, however, used more than ten needles at once.

It was a miracle!

Then, something even more shocking followed.

Andrius' hands were soft but precise. The needles poked Master Crestfall’s body and wavered elegantly.

From an amateur’s perspective, Andrius simply moved his fingers around the needles quickly. However, from a professional’s perspective, Andrius's hand movements contained a lot of high-precision and technical movements.

Master Crestfall’s twitching slowly calmed down.

The Crestfalls were not doctors, hence their plain surprise. From their perspective, Andrius was simply poking needles into Master Crestfall’s body at will, yet it worked miracles.

Master Crestfall’s breathing slowly recovered and his pale face once again flushed healthily.

A while later, Master Crestfall woke up.

His sons and his granddaughter went up to him and asked him with concern.

“Father, how are you?”

“Are you alright?”

“Grandfather, how are you feeling? Do you want something to eat?”

Looking at his family, Master Crestfall knew he was still alive. He then saw Dr. Artemis by the side and realized what just happened. He forced a smile on his face and thanked the man.

“Thank you, Dr. Artemis…”

“Master Crestfall, I am not that capable of saving your life. It is he who saved you.” Dr. Artemis pointed at Andrius with the utmost respect.

“Andrius? Hahaha! I received your master’s letter half a month ago, and I have been waiting for your arrival since then!” Master Crestfall sat up and said happily, “Thank God you are here, or else I would have had a date with the Grim Reaper!”

“Master Crestfall, you are too kind. I will give you a prescription for some medicine. Take it regularly and you will recover soon,” Andrius said with a smile.

“Great! Great!”

Master Crestfall called the butler to bring over a pen and paper.

Andrius wrote down a prescription and gave it to Dr. Artemis. “Dr. Artemis, I will leave Master Crestfall’s recovery in your hands. I believe you will put your medical skills to good use.”

Dr. Artemis knew Andrius was trying to save his face. He nodded and agreed. “Okay, I will.

“Thank you, young man. Please excuse me.” Dr. Artemis took the prescription respectfully and deeply to Andrius before he left.

The scene left the Crestfalls stunned.

Harry looked at Andrius curiously. “You’ve been to medical school?”

Andrius shook his head. “I’ve only learned some healing skills in the mountains."

Tsk!

Harry clicked his tongue scornfully at Andrius's answer. He thought Andrius was at least a medical student.

To his surprise, Andrius claimed that he learned his medical skills in the mountains!

Meaning it was pure luck that he healed Master Crestfall!

Pure luck!

A man with luck and nothing else was useless. He could not be this lucky for the rest of his life.

How could such a man marry his princess?

Impossible! Impossible!

While Harry was thinking of a way to send Andrius away, Master Crestfall looked up at Luna.

“Luna, now that you’ve met Andrius, you two should get registered as soon as possible.”

    Harry’s expression changed drastically as he said, “Father, I don’t think it’s appropriate.” Master Crestfall frowned while looking at Harry in dissatisfaction. “Andrius is the most suitable candidate. Any objections?” “I…” Harry’s expression turned bitter. He said in a small voice, “Father, I thought both Luna and Andrius just met, and they haven’t got the chance to know each other. Isn’t this arrangement a little too reckless?” “Register first, they have all the time in the world going forward to get to know each other.” As the master of the house, Belarus’ words had absolute power. He added in an authoritative tone, “It is decided!” Luna remained silent throughout the ‘negotiation’. She had a glance at Andrius, signaling him to make a move. Andrius immediately caught on to her gaze. “Master Crest…” Master Crestfall interrupted Andrius and said strongly, “Andrius, we are family now. You can just call me grandfather.” “Grand…father.” Andrius did not know whether to

    “Rule number one: I have OCD. You have to keep the house clean at all times, and you are prohibited from smoking in my house. “Rule number two: there are a lot of expensive things in my house. Do not touch them. “Rule number three: your room is on the first floor, mine’s on the second. Without my permission, you are not allowed to go up there, not even stepping on the first step of the stairs! Luna looked at Andrius with her beautiful eyes and said indubitably, “Understand, Mr. Andrius Moonshade?” Andrius’s eyes flickered helplessly as his lips twitched a little. He grumbled in his heart, ‘Are all the rich ladies in the city this difficult to deal with?’ However he still nodded and agreed to Luna’s terms. Luna breathed a sigh of relief. She got up and headed to the stairs. Before she went upstairs, she turned around and reminded Andrius, “And we are only pretending to be husband and wife. You still have the right to date and search for your true love, but you cannot let a

    Luna’s baton taser sent Andrius back to the first floor. Looking at her bra on the floor and imagining Andrius’s perverted look, Luna instantly felt disgusted. She picked up her bra and threw it into the trash can before she returned to her room, slamming the door shut and locking it. Tossing and turning, Luna could not sleep for the entire night. Andrius, on the other hand, had a sound sleep. When he walked out of his room, he saw a man sitting in the living room. It was Luna’s father, Harry! Luna was beside him, looking utterly indifferent. Her coldness she emanated could keep anyone away. As soon as Andrius stepped out of the room, Harry bellowed, “Come over here!” Andrius went over and sat down opposite the man. Slam! Harry slammed the tea table in front of him and snarled, “You little prick, how dare you!” “Uncle Harry, listen to me. There was a misunderstanding about last night…” Before Andrius could finish, Luna interrupted, “I saw it with my own eyes! Wh

    “Hmmm…” Andrius took the menu and started browsing. Axel noticed Andrius reading the menu with a serious, somewhat baffled look and was secretly delighted. The hotel was one of the best French restaurants in the world. The chefs, the servers, and even the receptionist were all French, thus orders had to be made in French. A poor guy from the countryside was lucky enough to come in, let alone successfully order a meal here. Axel could already imagine the embarrassment that Andrius would face. With the clumsy hand gestures, the awkward pronunciation yet being unable to order a single thing off the menu, Andrius would be the funniest clown in the room! Axel then started to rush Andrius. “If you can’t understand, stop pretending. Don’t waste our time. Just go get something outside the hotel. It'd actually be a better choice.” “Hahaha…” His words amused the others in the room, and they all stared at Andrius with ridiculing gazes. Andrius looked back at them like they were

    The race staff received the signal and prepared a Ford Mustang for Andrius. Axel sat on the hood of his Bugatti with a scornful expression. “Andrius, since you are new to this, I’ll let you have one lap first.” “No need.” Looking at the ‘toy car’, Andrius shook his head helplessly. “Let’s just get this over with.” Andrius’s frivolous attitude fueled Axel’s dissatisfaction. “Fine, if you’re ready, let’s get it going!” A sexy race girl in a bikini stood in front of the two cars with a racing flag. “Are you ready?“Set“Go!” As she waved the flag down, two cars sprinted off on the circuit. Vroom! The loud engine roars were sent off by the crowd’s passionate cheers. As the cheers got louder, the cars got faster. The audience turned to the big screen showing the live drone footage of the race. “Damn! Axel’s Bugatti acceleration is crazy fast!” “Of course!” “Axel is a professional racer, ranked second runner-up at the last Grand Prix. The best car that the poor gu

    Vroom… The Mustang roared to life once again and sprinted towards the slopes. As the car approached the slopes, Axel stepped on the brakes, but it had been tampered with and was not working. Axel’s face turned pale as his car sprinted off the slopes. Bang! The tumbling and crashing echoed across the entire circuit. Those who heard and saw the car drive off the slopes were horrified. They shouted, “Call 911!” Later that night, Luna and Halle exited the hospital with frosty looks on their faces. Luna got into her car with Halle while Andrius got into the rear seat. After the car left the hospital, Luna stared into the rearview mirror and saw Andrius intently looking at his phone. Irritated by his frivolous attitude, she bellowed, “Andrius, go apologize to Axel tomorrow.” “Why?” Andrius was confused by her request. Luna continued coldly, “Because you tampered with the Mustang’s brakes and caused Axel’s crash.” “The brakes were already broken when I got the Must

    As the minivan drove into Dream’s Waterfront, Andrius got out. Lyra waved at Andrius. “Bye. If you have the time, please visit my grandpa’s clinic. I’ll make you tea.” “Of course.” He arrived in front of Luna's door. Right before he knocked on it, the door opened. Luna pulled a long face and stared at Andrius, saying, “I have a curfew here. If you had been five minutes later, you would've been sleeping outside.” “It’s my first time in Sumeria, so I thought I would have a walk around the city,” Andrius said. “Come in.” Luna sat on the couch, crossing her slender and fair legs. Andrius was slightly stunned by the alluring scene. “Get up early tomorrow and follow me to my grandfather’s place. When we are there, I call the shots. You have no right and are in no position to say anything. Understand?” Luna warned Andrius sternly. “Mm-hmm,” Andrius simply hummed a reply. Luna got up and went upstairs. Right after she locked the door of her room, she received a call from he

    Luna wound down the window and shouted at the minivans, “What is wrong with you people…” Before she could finish, the two minivans' doors opened, and eight masked men came out. Athena’s first response was to wind up the window. She then said to Luna, “Ms. Crestfall, stay in the car. Don’t come out.” Athena got out of the car and confronted the masked men. The leading masked man wielded a dagger, waving it in front of Athena. “Lady, our target is the girl in the car. If you don’t want to get hurt, leave.” “You and your little ragtag group?” Athena scanned them and curled her lips into a scornful grin. “Hmph! Don’t blame us!” The man thrust his dagger forward, aiming it at Athena’s weak point. Luna screamed out of shock at the scene. In the face of danger, she lost her usual calm and her pitch for a slightly higher one. It was eight versus one, and Athena was the underdog. Luna suddenly realized that Andrius was in the car. She cried, “Andrius, go down and help!” An

    Andrius’ condition was pretty bad.He thought that with his current realm and strength, he could handle the divine tribulation and successfully ascend to the Divine Realm.However, the strength of the divine tribulation far exceeded his expectations.He seemed to have easily dealt with the first strike.In reality, the moment the divine lightning struck his palm, the destructive force within it surged through his meridians and directly attacked his soul.As expected of the divine tribulation.So, Andrius did not dare to be careless anymore and immediately gathered his immortal essence to resist.However, that was just the beginning.Each divine bolt was stronger than the last, and their deafening sounds and unstoppable destructive power left Andrius in agony.The tribulation cloud showed no signs of dissipating, too. Instead, it grew even darker and heavier, pressing down on everyone until they could not breathe.Rumble—Crackle—The thunder rumbled relentlessly, and the li

    If his true form was destroyed and his soul dispersed, the life token would shatter.That would be how Noir and the others would know about his situation.For the rest of his time, since short-term improvements were difficult at his level, he did not cultivate. However, Andrius meditated every day to calm his mind and clear his thoughts.Soon, three months passed.Sensing the increasingly intense presence of the tribulation, Andrius did not hide anymore and removed the effect of the Primordial Unity Pearl that was concealing his aura.Whoosh...An immense power surged forth, and massive tribulation clouds soon formed in the sky.At that moment, Andrius sat on top of a desolate mountain.A large crowd had gathered in the distance.It had been many years since anyone in the Immortal Realm had attempted the divine tribulation. Furthermore, Andrius had deliberately invited many people to witness the event to broaden the influence of the Lunarius Alliance.“Hiss... As expected of

    Andrius chuckled. “It’s not that serious. I already have a plan.”“Tell me, Andy.”“I have an extraordinary treasure. The treasure itself contains its own independent space filled with countless treasures and living beings. Furthermore, the spiritual energy inside is ten, a hundred times richer than the outside world. I plan to entrust this treasure to you. Carve out a secluded area within it for Luna to recover.”Andrius slowly explained.The extraordinary treasure he spoke of was none other than the Immortal Demon Palace.With his current strength, crossing the divine tribulation would not be a problem.The Immortal Demon Palace was an independent realm constructed by the beings of the Divine Realm. Even figures like Cedric, the Blood Demon King, the Hidden Monarch, and the others had no choice but to follow its rules.Hiding Luna inside would ensure her safety.Of course, there was a small problem.

    It was as if the dragon soul had always been part of his body.“How strange...”Andrius muttered to himself and continued to observe.Nothing happened.The dragon soul quickly integrated into his own without any further events.It only gave Andrius a vague sense of completeness, like something had filled a gap within him.It was a mysterious and eerie feeling.Swoosh...After the dragon soul left, the massive dragon bones collapsed, turning into a pile of white ash on the ground.It was clear that the dragon bones were preserved until now solely because of the dragon soul’s presence.“Forget it.”Seeing that the matter was settled, Andrius did not dwell on it.After glancing around and finding nothing unusual, he steadied himself, walked outside, and began thinking about his next move.“Andy!”“Wolf King!”“Andrius!”As soon as they saw Andrius, Noir, Halle, Kate, and the others rushed to him.While Andrius was absorbing the dragon soul, Noir had filled them in on the

    Whoosh...Just as Andrius sent a wisp of his divine sense to investigate, an apparition suddenly emerged from the dragon bones.It was vague and ethereal, yet exuded a powerful aura.Gradually, it took the shape of a dragon.Andrius raised his brows. He was not surprised, though, let alone afraid.He looked at the dragon apparition, who looked back at him.Soon, the dragon apparition spoke in confusion, “Young man, I smell an extraordinary aura on you.”Smell...Many thoughts flashed through Andrius’ mind.What could a dragon find extraordinary? Perhaps it was the scent of the Divine Realm or the Void Thunder Dragon. Could it be the Divine Realm phoenix?The next second, the dragon asked, “Are you a descendant of the phoenix?”Andrius casually raised his hand, and a wisp of flame appeared at his fingertips. It was the phoenix’s true flame.“I knew it!”The dragon apparition trembled slightly.Then, its enormous eyes showed a trace of sorrow.Andrius frowned, sensing some

    The remaining power of Andrius’ punch slammed into the man’s head viciously, like a hammer smashing a watermelon, splattering everywhere.“Hiss—”The captured cultivators could not help but gasp.Wow.Who was this guy? He was able to kill a mid-stage Aureate Immortal in just a single punch. Was he even human?Even Halle, Kate, and the others were dumbfounded.It had not been long since they last saw him, but he had already grown to be this powerful. It was completely unbelievable.The members of Dragon Immortal Sect were shocked and terrified.He was too strong!Even the sect leader was killed in one punch. They would be serving themselves up on a silver platter.At that moment, everyone kneeled.“Please have mercy!”“Please spare us.”It was the sect leader who ordered us to do this...”They groveled repeatedly, banging their heads until they bled. Though they did not dare stop.What was begging as long as they could live?However, Andrius’ words threw them into despai

    “Andrius!”“Wolf King!”The group was instantly overjoyed when they saw Andrius.They soon snapped back to their senses, though. This was the heart of Dragon Immortal Sect, and they were in the middle of a sacrificial ceremony.“Run!”“Andrius, leave now. Don’t worry about us!”“That’s right. Just avenge us later!”They knew Andrius was strong, but they did not know how strong.After all, Dragon Immortal Sect was a powerful sect, and the sect leader and Grand Elder were all gathered in the hall.No matter how powerful Andrius was, he could not face off against so many opponents.Andrius could not help but laugh.However, before he could explain, Noir said solemnly, “Don’t worry. With Andy’s current strength, wiping them out will be as easy as slaughtering chickens.”Halle, Kate, and the others were stunned.Noir was extremely confident.

They quickly restrained Halle and the others.Of course, they were not the only sacrifices.There were many other cultivators, even some powerful fiends and Demon Kings.“Let’s start!”In the center of the altar, Bernard saw that everyone was in place and gave the order.“Understood!”Everyone started to move.The disciples restrained Halle and the others firmly.The 108 core and elite disciples began channeling immortal essence, feeding it into Bernard’s body.In an instant, Bernard grew into a towering figure like a giant.It was one of his techniques.As he continuously chanted, the dragon bones in the center of the altar trembled slightly.It was clear he was trying to awaken the dragon.“No, I don’t want to die.”“You beasts!
