Xia Tao Village was far from Xiantao Village, and its location was quite remote.
As soon as Wu Hong returned with the medicines, Wu Zhong did not even let him enter the house but sent him directly to an empty room in Xia Tao Village.
Later, when Doctor Bai heard about it, he also brought out the pill furnace that he had sealed up.
It was known that Doctor Bai had been taught by a master, a very famous Life-stealing Doctor named An Desheng.
A true miracle doctor, An had once been the Imperial Physician for the Prince Mansion, mastering the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles which were so exquisite that they could snatch life from King Yan without the need for medication, just acupuncture. Hence, he was called the Life-stealing Doctor.
An Desheng was said to be a descendant of An Daoquan, a famous divine physician from the earlier Song dynasty.
