Chapter 210
After arranging some matters in Hanover City, Fade Chen decided to take the Cloud forces with him
on his way.
The Cloud n was not far from Hanover City. After a five hours'' drive, he arrived at the small town
where the Cloud n was.
He felt a lively atmosphere as soon as he stepped into the town. There were crowds of people
bustling back and forth the streets, a lot of traditional Chinese medicine stores opened on both
sides of the streets and asionally, there were Taoists in their robes walking on the streets with
medicinal pill basket on their backs. Everyone seemed to have gotten used to it as no one seemed
surprised.
That was the normal state of this martial arts based town situated at the foot of the mountain.
Almost half of the citizens of this small town relied on the Cloud n to provide them rted
businesses for a living.
In addition, in the past few days, the small town seemed to have gotten a lot livelier than usual.
Each family had their new clothes on and were in tip- top condition to prepare themselves for the
uing events.
Fade asked around and learnt that it was a coincidence that he was in the town. The Cloud n
has been celebrating the regain of the n''s strength for the past few days. They have also been
praying to the Gods and Heavens to celebrate this day.
The Cloud n was originally a member of the ck Level n 20 years ago. However, because
Feather Gu killed his master andrades, the n''s overall power was greatly damaged and their
strengths were deeply affected. In the end, the n was demoted from the ck Level to the Yellow
Level.
The Cloud n worked hard for many years as they tried to slowly climb their way back up. This
year, they finally managed to attain the necessary requirements to return as a member of the ck
Level n once again. At this time, the news that Feather Gu had been killed and members of the
Cloud n returning had also been spread.
They were delighted, so they decided to hold a grand ceremony to celebrate the string of joyful
events that urred and a brand new page in their future.
During the ceremonial celebration, the Cloud n would wee more ordinary people than they
usually did on normal days. They would also distribute more elixirs and herbs for free.
After the news was spread, the small town immediately grew livelier as it attracted many people
who were seeking for medicinal treatment. The businessmen would not let go of such a good
opportunity to do business either, and they began to prepare enthusiastically.
Fade nced around and sure enough, he noticed a lot of outsiders roaming around the streets.
At that moment, the sound of a bell chiming could be heard from a distance. All of a sudden, the
bustling in the town died down and silence settled in. Everyone stopped what they were doing and
turned around to face the towering green hills behind the town.
On top of the hill stood an old and ancientlooking building, and that was where the tolling of the
bells was heard from.
The residents of the small town looked solemn as they sped their hands together and bowed
sincerely in the direction of the hill. Some of the more sincere older residents even prostrated
themselves and kowtowed each time the bell rang. Even the outsiders who did not know the rules of
the town held their breath upon seeing the holy ceremony.
After the tolling of the bell, the small, quiet town regained its liveliness and cheers as though time
had just stopped and continued once again.
Fade walked to the edge of the small town in the midst of the traffic. The mountain where the Cloud
n was located was not far away from here.
The asphalt road that was built in the town came to an abrupt end, with many luxurious cars parked
by the roads. Along the way, one could see many smartly- dressed people heading up towards the
mountain top on foot.
"Seems like a lot of people are making their way to the Cloud n for some medicine!" Fade Chen
sighed, and then began to head up to the mountain as well.
Although Fade deliberately slowed down his speed, he was still much faster than the others with his
stamina. Soon, he had passed through the group of people at the foot of the mountain and was
halfway to the peak.
There was a small pavilion halfway up the mountain with around a dozen people resting in it.
Judging from their attire, they were most likely people who were seeking medicinal treatment who
seemed too tired from walking and had decided to rest there.
Given Fade''s skills, this short journey was not tiring for him at all.
Therefore, he didn''t intend to rest and instead continued to move forward.
However just then, a cry of pain erupted from the pavilion followed by gasps in the crowd.
Fade turned around and saw a white haired elder lying on the ground with his hands sped tightly
around his chest. His face was an unnatural shade of scarlet and it was clear that he was very, very
ill. The people around him were anxious, but they were clueless about what to do and had no
choice but to scream for help.
Seeing this, Fade immediately walked over and yelled, "Please let me through, I''m a doctor."

Upon hearing the word "doctor", the crowd immediately got out of the way. However, when they
noticed his age and his attire, everyone started to feel a bit suspicious.
Fade ignored the suspicious looks around him and bent down to grab the elder''s wrist. Upon feeling
his pulse, he immediately found out that the elder was suffering from heartplications. With that,
he grabbed a silver needle from his backpack and unbuttoned the elder''s shirt to insert the needle
in.
Next to the the old man was a man in his fifties or sixties who looked like a butler.
When he saw Fade preparing to stick the needle into the old man, he froze and stopped Fade
without thinking, "What do you think you''re trying to do?"
"I''m curing this man, that''s what I''m doing!" Fade roared back at him.
"Are you really a doctor?" The butler remained skeptical.
"If I don''t give him acupuncture treatment, this old man is going to die. Now, do you still want to
continue arguing with me?" Fade shot back with a sense of urgency.
Seeing the elder writhing in agony, the butler could only nod to Fade and stepped back.
Fade stuck the needle into the elder''s chest and started directing his inner spiritual energy from the
needle into the old man''s body. After circting it around the body, he concentrated the flow of
energy around the old man''s chest area to protect his heart.
A few minutester, the elder''splexion returned to normal and he was helped up by the butler.
With a grateful expression, he cupped his hands together and said to Fade, "Thank you very much
for saving my life, doctor. I''m very grateful."
The butler was also apologetic and hurriedly said, "Doctor, I am sorry for what I did to you just
now..."
Fade dismissed them with a wave of his hand and a kind smile on his face as heforted, "It''s
alright, it''s nothing much."
The smile on the elder''s face broadened when he saw Fade''s gentle demeanor and started to chat
with him, "Doctor, are you also heading to the Cloud n to obtain medicine?"
"Sort of, I have some business there to deal with." Fade replied before telling the elder, "Sir, you are
too polite. My name is Fade Chen but you can call me Fade."
"Fade!" The elder tried calling out before introducing himself, "My surname is Liu. Fade, if you don''t
mind, you call me Mr. Liu."
As soon as he finished saying that, Mr. Liu continued to asked, "Fade, what happened to me just
now?"
Fade Chen exined, "Mr. Liu, you fainted because the mountain climbing activity was too vigorous
for you. As a result, your heart couldn''t take the pressure which led to an acute cardiac arrest. I
helped you to unblock the clotted arteries and also guided your inner spiritual energy flow through
acupuncture, so you''re fine now."
