Chapter 316: Knocking on the Door Three Times to Call Adoptive Father

Hearing this, Jiang Yun’s body suddenly shook, finally understanding.

Elder Han helped him only on the condition that he would become his student.

Although grateful for the favor, Jiang Yun felt uncomfortable with the idea of exchanging help for loyalty, finding it somewhat sneaky and hard to believe.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Yun looked at the smiling Elder Han and firmly shook his head, saying, "I already have one master for life, I cannot accept anyone else as my teacher, please forgive me, Elder."

"I can only repay your kindness in the future, but I cannot accept you as my teacher, please do not bring it up again!"

"Hahaha!"

Elder Han burst into laughter at Jiang Yun’s response.

"Young man, don’t get angry yet, I haven’t finished speaking!"

Jiang Yun stayed quiet and just looked at Elder Han with confusion.

"What I said earlier was just my initial thoughts."

"When you truly break through the Test of Inheritance with your own strength and speak of the diversity and prosperity of the path of medicine, my idea of taking you as a disciple vanished into thin air."

"Because I know that my understanding of the path of medicine is no match for the elder who taught you."

"The foundation he laid for you in the path of medicine is enough to help you reach the peak in the future!"

"The idea of taking you as my disciple was just a joke. Please don’t mind it, and I hope you won’t hold a grudge against me for what happened before."

Despite Elder Han’s previous questionable actions, his honesty in revealing everything at this moment shows that he is at peace with himself.

Besides, Jiang Yun already had some doubts about Elder Han being this way, so he replied with a smile, "Of course not!"

"I must thank you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have received this complete inheritance. I will always remember your great kindness!"

Jiang Yun stood up and wanted to kneel down to Elder Han again, but Elder Han dodged and said, "You already showed your gratitude with three bows before!"

"We are now even between us! Alright, I’m leaving. Take care of yourself!"

Seeing the loving gaze of Elder Han, Jiang Yun knew that Elder Han didn’t want him to feel guilty anymore.

But Jiang Yun felt that it was impossible for him to do so.

If he turned and left now, he might never see Elder Han again.

He felt he could never repay such a great kindness!

Just when Jiang Yun was at a loss for words, he suddenly heard the voice of the Supreme Ancestor in his mind, "Young man, Shizun devoted his life to the path of medicine, never married, and had no interest in anyone. He has no descendants or followers, living alone."

"Although you cannot be his student, if you truly want to show your gratitude, maybe you can find another way!"

Upon hearing the words of the Supreme Ancestor, Jiang Yun felt grateful and looked up at Elder Han.

"Senior Han, I am an orphan with no parents. My grandfather raised me since I was a child. If you don’t mind, I dare to ask if you would be willing to be my adoptive father!"

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing Jiang Yun’s words, Elder Han was stunned.

It was clear that he was extremely excited at that moment, even his phantom body was trembling slightly.

Jiang Yun lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt down in front of Elder Han and said, "If you don’t mind, I am willing to have you as my adoptive father!"

Seeing the sincere Jiang Yun kneeling on the ground, Elder Han was stunned for a moment before regaining his senses and excitedly nodding repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, yes!"

"Respected adoptive father, please accept the disrespectful Jiang Yun’s three kowtows!"

With those words, Jiang Yun respectfully kowtowed three times to Elder Han.

This was only the third time in his life that he had knelt and kowtowed.

The first time I knelt to my grandpa, the second time I knelt to Gu Bulao, the third time, I knelt to Elder Han!

"Quick, quick, quick, get up!"

After accepting Jiang Yun’s three bows, Elder Han’s eyes were already red.

He quickly reached out his trembling hands, firmly supported Jiang Yun’s body, and helped him up.

Although he couldn’t take Jiang Yun as his apprentice, from then on he gained a new son, which was a huge unexpected surprise for him.

Still, he really liked Jiang Yun, and he never expected Jiang Yun to become his son.

After helping Jiang Yun up, Elder Han kept looking him up and down for a long time, with a silly smile on his face. Then suddenly he slapped his own head hard and said, "Oh, I forgot to give you a welcome gift!"

Finishing speaking, he waved his hand, and a ring popped up from the ground, falling into his hand. He handed it to Jiang Yun and said, "Child, this is my lifelong savings. I don’t need it now, so you can have it!"

The lifelong savings of an eighth-grade pharmacist, it’s easy to imagine how huge wealth this is.

Jiang Yun wanted to refuse, but he knew that it was his adoptive father’s kindness, so he accepted and said, "Thank you, adoptive father!"

Seeing Jiang Yun accept the ring, Elder Han couldn’t stop smiling, and he asked Jiang Yun to sit down again and talk about his background.

Since Jiang Yun accepted him as his adoptive father, he truly regarded him as a father and shared his background, but he didn’t mention that Jiang village belonged to the demon race.

He wasn’t worried about his adoptive father’s thoughts, but he was concerned about the Supreme Ancestor.

Previously, the Supreme Ancestor wanted to kill Jiang Yun without hesitation when he thought Jiang Yun was from the Sea clan.

Jiang Yun was unsure what the Supreme Ancestor would do if he knew Jiang Yun was from the demon race.

Han Shizun listened with empathy, clearly feeling sorry for Jiang Yun’s background.

After Jiang Yun finished speaking, his adoptive father said, "I can’t do anything about the past, but if anyone bullies you in the future, you just mention my name, Shizun. Many powerful beings in this Mountain-Sea World will respect me."

Jiang Yun smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay!"

While Han Shizun was happy, Jiang Yun hesitated and said, "Adoptive father, is there really no way for you to leave this place and return to the outside world?"

Hearing this question, Han Shizun’s face showed a relieved smile.

He naturally knew that Jiang Yun was showing filial piety.

However, as far as he knew, there was no way.

After all, more than just him and the Supreme Ancestor entered the Refining Heaven Furnace.

Even in every generation of disciples in the Grand Medicine Sect, there would be one person who entered here and could never leave.

Some people entered not because they activated the Test of Inheritance, but because of the sect’s rules!

Among the rules of the Grand Medicine Sect, there is one like this!

In every generation of disciples, one person must enter the Refining Heaven Furnace.

As for the reason, no one knows, but nobody dares to go against it.

Seeing Han Shizun shake his head, Jiang Yun didn’t ask any more questions. But he didn’t give up, he just decided to think of other ways later.

Even if it’s really not possible, he could just break the Refining Heaven Furnace if needed, he must make his adoptive father free again.

But at that moment, the voice of the Supreme Ancestor rang in his ears again, "You want to help Shizun leave here, I have a way!"
