Doctor Ge'Lin
Chapter 5

Gelin decided to set up his own private research laboratory. He had accumulated a lot of knowledge and materials during his journey in the cultivation world, and he felt the need to have a special place to develop new medicines and cultivation techniques. He rented a plot of land in the suburbs and started building his laboratory.

First, he planned a spacious and bright room with many windows to get enough sunlight. It is a place that will be the center of creation and discovery. Gelin chose a quiet location, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

After the construction of the room was completed, Gelin began installing laboratory equipment. He had simple equipment, such as a microscope, gauges, and various reagents. He also had wooden shelves to store the various raw materials and herbs he collected during the trip.

The lab will be the place where Gelin will run experiments, test new formulas, and concoct medicines. The atmosphere in the room was calm and focused, where Gelin could concentrate completely on his work.

Tomorrow, though,

Gelin enjoyed tea at Gradi's restaurant when his eyes fell on a gloomy-looking man in the corner of the room. The man looked old and exuded a deep aura of sadness. Gelin felt something was amiss and decided to approach the man.

Gelin: (with a friendly smile) Excuse me, sir. Are you all right? You seem worried.

Feng Li: (looking at Gelin with bruised and lethargic eyes) Me? I am only a former commander of an already useless imperial army. There's nothing I can do anymore.

Gelin: (sitting in front of Feng Li) Life always has meaning, Master. How can I help you? Tell me what is weighing on your heart.

Feng Li: (in a resigned tone) I suffer from an illness that undermines my vitality. I have sought treatment everywhere, but it was all in vain. I feel broken.

Gelin: (smiling empathically) Don't worry, sir. I am a researcher and a medicine expert. Maybe I can help you. Let's talk more about your condition.

Feng Li: (with sparkling eyes) Are you really sure you can help me?

Gelin: (full of confidence) I will try my best, Sir. Tell me everything you know about your illness. Any information will help me formulate a suitable drug.

Feng Li recounted the entire experience and symptoms he had experienced. He was relieved that there was someone willing to listen and try to help him. Gelin listened carefully and promised to find a solution soon.

After a brief examination, Gelin gave the pills he had made to Feng Li. Feng Li doubted whether it would work, but he decided to give it a try. The pill made him feel refreshed and energized in a short period of time.

Feng Li: (with awe) This is magical! I feel like I'm getting my life back.

Gelin: (smiling) I'm glad to be able to help, Mr. Feng Li. This is the male vitality medicine I created. Hope you can use this new energy for good things.

Feng Li: (while grateful) I don't know how to return the favor, Mister...?

After a quick recovery, Feng Li felt indebted to Gelin and invited him to a tea party with his family.

Inside the beautiful and quiet tea room, Gelin sat between Feng Li and his younger sister, Xin qi. The room was beautifully decorated, with a wooden tea table and brightly colored walls. Green tea and delicious snacks have been prepared for this warm tea party.

Feng Li: (while pouring tea) Welcome to our house, Gelin. We are very grateful for your help.

Gelin: (smiling) Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Feng Li. I'm glad I could help you.

Xin qi: (with sparkling eyes) I heard you are a martial arts expert, Gelin. That's so awesome!

Gelin: (feeling ashamed) I'm just a drug researcher, but I try to practice.

The tea party continued, with warm conversation and laughter. Xin qi told him about the martial arts he mastered, while Gelin and Feng Li shared their experiences in the cultivation world.

Xin qi: (excited) I'll show you some martial arts moves, if you are interested, Gelin.

Gelin: (enthusiastic) Sure, it will be an interesting experience!

Xin qi stood up, and with graceful and powerful movements, she demonstrated some martial arts techniques. Gelin and Feng Li were fascinated by the skill of Xin qi.

Feng Li: (smiling proud) My sister is indeed outstanding in martial arts. He is the pride of our family.

Xin qi: (shame) There is no need to be praised so, Big Brother.

In an instant, the festive party atmosphere turned into chaos. Everyone around the tea table lay helpless, their faces pale and eyes closed. But more surprisingly, Gelin felt that he was also affected by this sedative.

As he tried to get up, a mysterious figure with a large muscular body covered in black clothes from his face to his feet suddenly appeared and clutched him violently.

That mysterious figure, who introduced himself as Garoum, possessed incredible strength. Very easily, he lifted up Gelin's defenseless body and carried her away from the party venue without leaving a trace.

Gelin struggled to stay sober despite the powerful sedative effect. He tries to understand why Garoum kidnapped her and what she wants to do to him. The sounds of screaming and confusion from the party venue subsided as they moved away, leaving Gelin in the dark with this powerful and mysterious mysterious figure.
