Elder Xiao carefully examined the golden needle several times, his hands trembling involuntarily as he muttered to himself, "It's true, indeed it's the Calamity Relief Golden Needle of the Ghost Doctor Senior. I never thought I would see this item with my own eyes while I'm still alive."

In the principal's office, the hearts of everyone were filled not only with surprise but also deep curiosity.

Who could cause such intense emotional upheaval in the former chairman of the Divine Medicine Group, now an elder of the Medicine Sect?

Everyone couldn't help but look at Lin Hai with renewed curiosity.

This time, all eyes turned from disdain to seriousness.

Teacher Ning and Principal Ning suddenly felt that the Lin Hai before them was no longer someone to be taken lightly. Especially when he spoke nothing, it added a layer of mystery.

"This... this golden needle, where did you get it from?" Elder Xiao asked, holding the needle with trembling hands, looking at Lin Hai.

"Damn, is the old geezer's needle that impressive?" Lin Hai thought in surprise.

Then, he replied, "It was given to me by the old Ghost Doctor."

"What!" Elder Xiao was completely shocked upon hearing this.

At the same time, he muttered, "Ghost Doctor Senior once said that whoever can learn all of his true teachings and surpass them will be able to receive his Calamity Relief Golden Needle."

"Could it be that you..."

Elder Xiao stared at Lin Hai in disbelief, unable to comprehend how Lin Hai had surpassed the Ghost Doctor Senior in medical skill.

"Well, I knew him back when I was washing dishes abroad. I felt sorry for the old man, gave him a piece of bread, and then we played some poker. The old guy lost everything, including his underwear, and gritted his teeth, making this golden needle his final bet, but... he still lost."

Lin Hai shook his head and sighed, "That old guy didn't have great character, but his gambling spirit was decent. Unfortunately, his luck was terrible, probably would never win a bet in his life."

"..."

"#￥#@#@￥!!!"

Everyone in the room was dumbfounded, almost fainting and collapsing on the spot, speechless to the extreme.

"Did you win this by gambling?" Elder Xiao stared fiercely, finding it utterly unbelievable.

In his mind, this golden needle held an extraordinary status.

Once used, it could treat the incurable diseases, and one needle could save or end calamities.

Back in his youth, these words represented the pinnacle of medical skill.

And the mysterious Ghost Doctor Senior once represented the pinnacle of Huaxia's traditional medicine.

The old man's portable golden needle actually lost in poker to the young man in front of him?!

Elder Xiao suddenly felt a headache.

Taking a deep breath, Elder Xiao suddenly said, "No matter what, Ghost Doctor Senior guided me in the past, which is why I have my medical skills today. This great kindness must be repaid."

After speaking, he looked at Lin Hai and asked, "Young man, did you truly win this golden needle in gambling?"

Lin Hai nodded, "The old man boasted that no one could learn his medical skills in a lifetime, but I learned them in three months. Incidentally, while playing cards, I thought the needle was quite a handy tool, good for unlocking or as a toothpick, so I won it."

Everyone in the office wanted to throw up again.

Elder Xiao stumbled several steps, taking a deep breath to suppress his complex emotions.

The Calamity Relief Golden Needle used as a toothpick; this, this, this was too speechless.

It was simply a waste of a priceless treasure.

"Do you know that with the Calamity Relief Golden Needle in your hand, you can command the entire Ghost Doctor Academy?" Elder Xiao asked breathlessly.

Ghost Doctor Academy?

Lin Hai furrowed his brows, having navigated the international underground world for years, he was well-versed.

But he had never heard of Ghost Doctor Academy.

From the name, it sounded like an outdated school?

"What's Ghost Doctor Academy?" Lin Hai asked puzzled.

Elder Xiao gazed at Lin Hai, "Ghost Doctor Senior didn't mention it to you?"

"No, the old man loved to brag, saying he was quite influential back then, could command thousands of people and all."

"The Ghost Doctor Senior was not bragging. Back when Ghost Doctor Academy was at its peak, it indeed commanded thousands of people, and every one of them was a master in medicine, placing them among the top doctors today."

"Even the most elite among them could establish sects and start a school."

Elder Xiao said.

"Oh dear? That shabby old man? Was he that powerful back then? Then what happened? Why did I find him almost dying when I met him?"

Lin Hai blinked.

Elder Xiao was very speechless. The benefactor and idol in his heart appeared as a poverty-stricken, destitute old beggar on the streets from Lin Hai's words.

This contrast made him very unhappy inside.

However, having seen the Calamity Relief Golden Needle, he had to answer.

Because he had vowed with Ghost Doctor Senior back in the day that as long as one held the golden needle, as if he were present himself, he would fulfill three conditions for the holder.

"Over twenty years ago, there was a turmoil and disaster in Yanjing. At that time, Ghost Doctor Senior was implicated, forced to disband the entire Ghost Doctor Academy. Later, those scattered people were mysteriously assassinated; some died, others fled abroad. Nowadays, those people are hardly seen."

Elder Xiao sighed.

Lin Hai was speechless too. This means that Ghost Doctor Academy is practically an empty title, right?

No wonder the old man looked sentimental back then and said having the golden needle was akin to being the sect leader, for which he still tricked twenty bucks out of Lin Hai.

"Since you hold the Calamity Relief Golden Needle, if you encounter difficulties in the future, you can go to the Divine Medicine Group or Medicine Sect to find me. As long as it's not illegal or immoral, including swallowing my entire Medicine Sect, I can fulfill three conditions for you."

Elder Xiao changed the topic and said.

The entire office held their breath again, looking at Lin Hai with various expressions of envy.

Xiao Daofei also stared at Lin Hai, his eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

It's worth noting that Elder Xiao holds a special, if not top position in Medicine Sect.

Being able to have Elder Xiao promise three conditions meant that most people in Yanjing's medical circles would not easily provoke or offend Lin Hai.

"That prescription is real." Elder Xiao looked at Teacher Ning and said earnestly, adding, "Your grandfather can be saved."

The beautiful Principal Ning looked complexly at Lin Hai, who appeared calm, but had already imprinted his appearance and image deeply into her subconscious.

Her grandfather's illness had been her biggest challenge for many years.

Now, she saw hope for a solution.

Back then, she once vowed that whoever saved her grandfather, she would be willing to give herself as a reward, even willing to become the mistress of someone with a wife, as long as they were willing to accept.

Today, she saw hope for saving her grandfather.

"Could he be my future husband?" The beautiful Teacher Ning looked at Lin Hai, her gaze also becoming softer.
