James was stunned.
After a long while, he was hesitant and asked, âThen, how did youâ¦â
Alex smiled mysteriously. âYou want to know how I learned the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell? Then,
do you know from where the Immortal Doctor of the previous generation, Guilherme Extraordinaire,
learned the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell? Or, from
where did the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell in the Immortal Doctorâs Legacy come?â
Shocked, James asked, âCould it be that your Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell have an even longer
history than Guilherme Extraordinaireâs?â
Alex waved his hand. âItâs pointless to say all these. But, the legacy that I have learned indeed is a bit
related to the Immortal Doctorâs Legacy. Iâm not very interested in the Immortal Doctorâs status. But, sir,
if you can acquire the Immortal Doctorâs Legacy of Guilherme Extraordinaire, itâll be a great thing for
the majority of the patients.â
James also seemed very excited.
As a doctor, no one was not tempted by the Immortal Doctorâs Legacy.
However, James pondered for a while and said, âAlex, Iâm already old and have one foot in the grave.
Even if Iâve acquired the Immortal Doctorâs Legacy, it wonât be much useful for me. If possible, Iâd like to
have Cheryl try it. Whether she could get it or not, that would depend on her luck.â
Alex looked at him and nodded.
Soon after, Cheryl was called into the study.
Upon hearing about the matter, she could not help but feel surprised. âThe Immortal Doctorâs Legacy of
Guilherme Extraordinaire is in our family?â
James said, âTracing the roots, our Ganoderma was indeed created by the Immortal Doctor, Guilherme
Extraordinaire, several hundreds of years ago. But, there were no Immortal Doctors for the next
generations after Guilherme Extraordinaire. Back then, I had heard my master say that the Immortal
Doctorâs Legacy was not something that could be obtained easily, but it depended on luck and chance.
Why else didnât another Immortal Doctor appear in Ganoderma?â
Cheryl said, âBut, I have never heard you talked about it.â
James shook his head and said, âGanoderma had gone through several hundreds of years, but how
many calamities did it experience? Especially during the war years in the 1800s, it was a catastrophe
and a rebirth every time. And, Ganoderma had its ups and downs. In the great chaos of conflicts
among countless medical schools and medical families back then, it was already remarkable for it to be
able to be in Grandpaâs hands today. The Legacyâs Origin had changed hands several times, but it had
long since gone missing. If Alex hadnât mentioned it, I wouldnât have known the secret of the legacy is
hidden within the plaque.â
When Alex and Cheryl heard it, their thoughts could not help but recall the turbulent years back then.
They thought about it. It was also the same reason.
Cheryl asked, âSo, Grandpa. Whereâs the plaque located now?â
James lowered his voice as he said, âThat plaque is in Puerto Rico Rainforest. We, people of
Ganoderma, hid it in a certain depth of the forest in Puerto Rico under circumstances where everything
was hard to be preserved. When my master handed over Ganoderma to me back then, I hid that
plaque somewhere. Cheryl, Grandpa is old. Iâll leave the matter of the legacy to you! Alex, the journey
to Puerto Rico Rainforest is far away, and itâs also off the beaten track. I have a request. Can you
accompany Cheryl there and keep her safe?â
Alex looked at Cheryl and nodded. âOf course, thereâs no problem.â
James smiled as an imperceptible smile flashed in his eyes.
The Immortal Doctorâs Legacy mattered a great deal. It would be better to get it earlier, lest complicated
issues might arise due to the delay.
James asked, âCan you go there tomorrow? If you go there by flight, you can reach Puerto Rico within
a few hours, but you still need to go through many routes from the airport to reach there. You can only
get there on the next day at the earliest. Iâll draw a map today and specify the detailed instructions and
prepare a bit on the way. Will you depart tomorrow?â
Alex pondered for a while. Since he had no important business lately, he nodded in agreement.
***
Soon, it was the next day.
After briefing the few women at home, Alex drove to Cherylâs house to fetch her and embark on the
journey to Puerto Rico.
Holly wanted to go with them. However, when he thought about the recent conflict with the Witch
Doctor Sect, he felt that it would be more appropriate for Holly to stay with Brittany.
