Han Lang was naturally unaware that Gou Tuizhi had been instigated by Wang Shan to become Dr. Sim’s research subject.
However, with matters having progressed to this point, the Gou family could no longer pose any threat to the Han family.
Therefore, Han Lang had not given Gou Tuizhi a second thought.
Moreover,
He was in a good mood that day.
His seclusion had allowed him to once again feel the stirrings of his cultivation. He believed that in no time, he would smoothly break through to the thirteenth level of Qi Refining and officially begin his assault on the Foundation Establishment stage.
For this reason, he had specifically granted himself half a day off.
Firstly, to relax his long-tense mood; secondly, he had not spent quality time with his family for a long time.
Due to the incident with the superhumans and the threat of the cultivator behind the Wang family, he had truly experienced the loneliness of the immortal path this time.
“Hey, left, left… right, right… Ah!”
With a sigh.
Han Lang looked at Han Zhongyi beside him with annoyance, smiling and complaining, “Dad, don’t you think our coordination is a bit too poor? We’ve lost three games in a row!”
Han Zhongyi also looked puzzled. “There’s no reason for it! I was the team’s striker, how could I lose to your mom and Xiao Ying? Could it be a problem with the machine?”
Upon hearing this, Su Su was not pleased.
She shot Han Zhongyi a look of disapproval and teased, “Hey, hey, hey, why are you blaming the outhouse for not being able to defecate! If your skills aren’t good, they aren’t good, stop finding such flimsy excuses!”
Han Zhongyi was momentarily speechless from the retort, but he refused to concede verbally. He immediately retorted, “I’m a team striker, and you’re talking to me about skills? What do you know about football?”
As he was speaking, he suddenly seemed to remember something, slapped his thigh, and with a look of sudden realization, said again, “I know! It must be that Lang’er went easy on them for Xiao Ying’s sake! You can guard against a thousand things, but it’s hard to guard against an inside traitor!”
Han Lang quickly explained, “How could that be? Both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh. How could I play favorites? Dad, you’re framing me!”
Luo Jiaying also looked unconvinced. “Exactly! Uncle Han, you’re so old, how can you still be a sore loser? How about we have a one-on-one?”
Han Zhongyi immediately shook his head upon hearing this. “No, no, a one-on-one is not necessary. Even if I win in the end, it would be bullying the young and weak, relying on strength to oppress others. It wouldn’t be good for my reputation, hehe…”
Hearing his high-sounding words, everyone couldn’t help but scoff.
Su Su looked even more contemptuous. “Just stop it! If you can’t play, you can’t play, why pretend to be strong when you’re not!”
“You…”
Han Zhongyi was about to retort a few more words when, at that moment, Han Kang hurried in and shouted to everyone with a smile.
“Good news, good news!”
“Most of the market share that originally belonged to the Gou family has basically been annexed by us. Our Han family has finally, and thoroughly, secured its position as the foremost of the eight major families in Le City! Haha…”
Upon hearing this, everyone was also overjoyed.
Han Zhongyi clasped his hands together even more excitedly, repeatedly sighing, “The ancestors have blessed us, the ancestors have blessed us! The foremost of the eight major families, what great honor this is!”
Su Su did not agree with Han Zhongyi’s statement and immediately objected, “What ancestors blessed us! If I hadn’t given birth to such excellent descendants for you Han family, your ancestors’ blessings would be useless!”
Han Zhongyi immediately came to his senses. “Yes, yes! You’re right, it’s all your credit. Without the joint efforts of Lang’er and Kang’er, our old Han family would not have such a glorious time!”
Watching the elderly couple bicker, Han Lang and the others couldn’t help but smile.
After chatting for a while, Luo Jiaying suddenly asked, “Brother Han Kang, now that we have basically annexed the Gou family, does that mean no one will try to trip us up behind our backs anymore?”
Han Kang smiled and replied, “That’s hard to say. After all, we haven’t avenged your parents’ hatred yet! However, at least we no longer have to worry about the Gou family! With our advancement, the Gou family has almost completely perished and will no longer pose any threat to us!”
The Gou family completely perished!
These words indeed made Luo Jiaying and the others breathe a sigh of relief.
But for Han Lang, it was like a divine truth descending from heaven, directly piercing the depths of his mind!
“Ah~”
An unbearable sharp pain struck him.
Han Lang almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Han Kang was quick-witted and quickly helped him to sit on the sofa.
Everyone gathered around worriedly and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
But at this moment, Han Lang was in no condition to give them any feedback!
His brows were tightly furrowed in pain, and he held his forehead tightly with his right hand, trying to resist the soul-piercing pain that penetrated the depths of his soul.
He had experienced this feeling before!
Back then, when he was integrating the memories of Shennong Heavenly Doctor and the Medicine Master from Another World, it was even more heart-wrenching than this.
Fortunately, this intense pain only lasted for about a minute before it dispersed with a bang, leaving only six characters in Han Lang’s mind.
Shennong Medical Codex—Shen Jing!
“This is…”
Han Lang was incredibly excited.
He never expected that the Shennong Medical Codex would have a fifth part!
Moreover, this part of the content had been sealed in his mind by the subconscious depths of the Shennong Heavenly Doctor’s soul.
Now that the Gou family had completely perished, the Ye family’s great revenge had been avenged, and Han Lang had also fulfilled the other wishes of the Shennong Heavenly Doctor, it had thus ushered in the opportunity for the Shennong Heavenly Doctor to release the fifth part of the Shennong Medical Codex.
However, do not misunderstand.
The Shen Jing, the fifth part of the Shennong Medical Codex, is different from the modern societal illness of the same name.
After all, the Shennong Heavenly Doctor lineage originated from ancient times, and at that time, the word "Shen Jing" probably needed to be understood separately!
Furthermore,
From the first part, the Grass Scripture, to the Medical Scripture, the Pulse Scripture, and the Acupuncture Scripture, the Shennong Medical Codex was named in the format of scriptures.
The fifth part was the most miraculous, so naming it "Shen Jing" should also be reasonable, right?
“How is it? Lang’er, are you alright?”
Just as Han Lang was lost in thought, Su Su’s concerned inquiry pulled him back to reality.
Han Lang glanced at the worried faces of everyone and quickly replied.
“I’m fine, I’m fine! I think I might have been working too hard recently and just need to rest! Hehe…”
Han Lang himself was a doctor, and everyone had seen him staying at home for the past period. Although everyone except Han Kang didn’t know what he was busy with, they at least knew he had been working hard.
Therefore, everyone did not have too many doubts about Han Lang’s explanation.
“Alright, if that’s the case, then you should go back to your room and rest! If there’s anything, remember to call us at any time!”
Han Lang nodded heavily upon hearing this.
He had not yet had time to properly explore the contents of the fifth part of the Shennong Medical Codex—Shen Jing, and he was filled with anticipation.
For this reason, he eagerly headed towards his room.
