The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 110 Three Tests Left by Great Grandfather

He walked forward slowly and stretched out his hand. Just as his fingertips were about to touch the crystal ball, an invisible force pushed him away. He took a few steps back in surprise, his heart full of doubts. At this time, a deep voice echoed in the secret room: "You are not the chosen one, you cannot touch this crystal ball."

Bai Zixuan looked around but couldn't see anyone. His voice was trembling: "Who are you? Why do you say I can't touch it?"

"I am the guardian of this secret room. This crystal ball is the source of the family's power. Only the chosen ones can touch it." The voice continued.

Bai Zixuan's heart was filled with disappointment. He thought he had found the key to changing his fate, but he didn't expect that he was not the chosen one. He felt powerless, as if all his hopes were shattered at this moment.

"But," the voice said again, "you can be the chosen one."

Hope rekindled in Bai Zixuan's heart, and he asked anxiously, "What should I do?"

"You must pass three tests to prove your determination and courage." There was a hint of seriousness in the guardian's voice.

Bai Zixuan's heart was filled with determination. He knew he had to pass these tests to prove his worth. He took a deep breath and said firmly, "I am willing to accept the test."

The First Test: The Test of Wisdom

The ancient library is like a treasure house of knowledge, with towering bookshelves standing like towering trees, filled with various ancient books and scrolls. The traces of time have left mottled marks on these books, exuding a mysterious and distant atmosphere.

The guardian stood quietly in the center of the library, like a steady beacon. The mysterious box in his hand was carved with exquisite patterns and emitted a faint light, as if telling an unknown secret.

The guardian's voice echoed in the empty library, and he solemnly told Bai Zixuan: "There is a vital secret hidden in this box, and the key to unlocking this secret is to solve a complex puzzle. This puzzle is an ancient text that describes the location of a specific book hidden in the library. You must find the book before sunset, otherwise the test will end in failure."

Bai Zixuan stared at the box in the guardian's hand, and a strong curiosity and desire for challenge surged in his heart. He knew that this test was not only a test of his wisdom, but also a test of his determination and perseverance.

Bai Zixuan immediately plunged into an intense search. His eyes quickly swept across the ancient books, carefully reading every paragraph, not missing any clues that might be related to the puzzle. Time passed by minute by minute, and his heart was filled with a sense of urgency. He kept thinking about every word in the puzzle, trying to find hidden clues from it.

Suddenly, he noticed that the order of some books seemed to match the clues in the puzzle. The colors, sizes, and bindings of these books all had subtle similarities, as if hinting at something. Following these clues, Bai Zixuan carefully shuttled between the bookshelves, like a brave explorer exploring an unknown territory.

Bai Zixuan's heartbeat kept speeding up as he explored. He stared closely at the title and content of each book, fearing that he would miss any key information. He found that the illustrations and annotations in some books were also strikingly similar to the descriptions in the puzzle. He began to piece together these clues one by one, trying to restore the location of the hidden books.

In the process, he constantly encountered various difficulties and challenges. The texts of some books were too old and obscure to understand; the locations of some books were too hidden to find. However, Bai Zixuan did not give up. He relied on his wisdom and perseverance to constantly overcome these difficulties.

Finally, Bai Zixuan found the answer in a book about ancient astrology. The cover of the book had turned yellow, but the star map on it was still clearly visible. Bai Zixuan excitedly opened the book and found that a star map in the book was exactly the same as the description in the puzzle. He followed the guidance of the star map and carefully searched for the hidden book in the library.

After some hard work, he finally found the hidden book in an inconspicuous corner. The cover of the book was engraved with mysterious symbols, exuding a powerful force. Bai Zixuan picked up the book carefully, his heart filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.

When Bai Zixuan put the book back to the designated place in the box, the box made a crisp sound, as if cheering for his success. The box slowly opened, and a dazzling light emanated from the box. The guardian smiled and nodded, his eyes full of appreciation and relief.

He said to Bai Zixuan, "You have passed the test of wisdom. I deeply admire your intelligence and perseverance. I hope you will continue to maintain such excellent qualities in the next tests." A confident smile appeared on Bai Zixuan's face. He knew that he had taken the first step towards success.

The Second Test: A Test of Courage

The dark cave entrance was covered with vines and thorns, like a mysterious portal, exuding a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere. The air around the cave was filled with damp mist, which made people feel depressed and uneasy. Bai Zixuan stood in front of the cave entrance, his heart full of fear and uneasiness. He didn't know what dangers were hidden in the cave, but he knew that he had to face these fears bravely in order to pass this test.

The guardian's voice rang in Bai Zixuan's ears: "The cave hides your deepest fears. You must enter the cave alone, face and overcome these fears. Only in this way can you prove your courage and determination."

Bai Zixuan took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to walk into the cave. The interior of the cave was dark and damp, with only a faint light coming through the cracks. His footsteps echoed in the cave, as if a lonely traveler was exploring an unknown world.

Bai Zixuan walked forward cautiously, his heart full of vigilance. He heard strange noises, as if roaring from the depths of hell. He saw vague shadows, as if they were the incarnation of the devil. These were the fears deep in his heart, and they were magnified countless times in the cave.

Bai Zixuan began to feel his heartbeat quicken and his breathing quicken. He wanted to turn around and run away, but he knew that doing so would only make him more frightened. He had to face these fears bravely in order to overcome them.

Bai Zixuan stopped, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. He tried to calm himself down and think about how to deal with fear. He remembered a book about courage he had read before, which said: "Courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to stick to one's beliefs in the face of fear." Bai Zixuan opened his eyes, looked at the darkness in front of him, and his heart was filled with courage. He began to talk to these fears, trying to understand their source.

He asked himself, "Where do these fears come from? Why do they scare me?" As he thought about it, he gradually realized that these fears were all from his past experiences and unresolved issues. He was afraid of failure, afraid of being laughed at by others, and afraid of losing the people he loved. These fears had accumulated in his heart for a long time and had never been resolved. Now, they were awakened in the cave and became a challenge he had to face.

Bai Zixuan decided to face these fears bravely. He told himself: "I can't let these fears control me. I must face them bravely and overcome them." He began to recall his past successes, his strengths and advantages. He told himself: "I am a brave person, and I have the ability to overcome these fears."

As he encouraged himself, he gradually felt inner peace. He was no longer afraid of the darkness, strange noises and vague shadows. He began to move forward bravely and explore the depths of the cave.

As Bai Zixuan talked with his fears, he gradually felt inner peace. He realized that facing fears was the only way to overcome them. When he walked out of the cave, the sun shone on his face, warm and bright. The voice of the guardian rang in his ears: "You have passed the test of courage. I admire your bravery and strength. I hope you will continue to maintain this excellent quality in the next test." Bai Zixuan's face showed a bright smile, and he knew that he had become a braver person.

The Third Test: The Test of Sacrifice

The ancient altar stood quietly in a silent forest, like a sacred existence. The altar was engraved with mysterious symbols, exuding a powerful force. The surrounding trees were tall and dense, as if guarding this sacred place. Bai Zixuan stood in front of the altar, holding the family emblem tightly in his hand. The pattern on the emblem flickered with a faint light, as if telling the glory and history of the family.

The guardian's voice echoed in the silent forest: "To prove your spirit of sacrifice, you must give up your most precious thing - the family emblem. This emblem is not only a symbol of your family, but also a bond between you and your late great-grandfather. However, for a greater goal and a higher ideal, you must make a sacrifice."

Bai Zixuan stared at the badge in his hand, his heart full of struggle and pain. He knew what this badge meant to him. It was the honor and responsibility of his family, and the emotional bond between him and his great grandfather. However, he also knew that in order to pass this test, he had to make sacrifices.

Bai Zixuan recalled his great grandfather's teachings, and the family's honor and responsibility. He remembered that his great grandfather once said: "True courage is not fearlessness, but the ability to bravely make the right choice when facing difficulties and challenges." Bai Zixuan knew that now was the time for him to make a choice. He must put aside his personal feelings and interests and make sacrifices for greater goals and higher ideals.

Bai Zixuan held the badge tightly, feeling its temperature and weight. His heart was full of contradictions and struggles. He didn't know if he could make this difficult decision. However, he also knew that this decision would determine his future and destiny. He recalled his experiences in the previous two tests, and recalled his wisdom, courage, and determination. He knew that he had grown a lot and had become a better person. Now, he had to challenge himself again and make an even more difficult decision.

Bai Zixuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He tried to calm himself down and think about the meaning and consequences of this decision. He knew that giving up the badge did not mean giving up the family's honor and responsibility. On the contrary, it was a higher level of sacrifice, for the realization of greater goals and higher ideals. He remembered his mission and his dream of becoming a great man. He knew that in order to realize this dream, he had to make sacrifices.

After careful consideration, Bai Zixuan decided to place the badge on the altar. He gently stroked the badge, his heart filled with reluctance and attachment. Every line and every mark on the badge carried the family's memory and heritage. He seemed to be able to see the kind face of his great grandfather and hear his earnest teachings.

But Bai Zixuan understood that this was a choice he had to make. He slowly loosened his hand, and the badge gently fell on the altar, making a slight sound. At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and the air around him became unusually solemn.

The moment the badge landed on the altar, a soft light emanated from the badge and gradually spread to the entire altar. The mysterious symbol seemed to be activated and began to flash with a strange brilliance. Bai Zixuan watched all this quietly, feeling both moved and relieved.

The Guardian's voice sounded again: "You have passed the test of sacrifice. I admire your courage and dedication. You have proven that you have the qualities to be a true hero."

Bai Zixuan showed a determined smile on his face. He knew that he had not only grown through these three tests, but also found his mission and direction. He would continue to move forward with this courage, wisdom and spirit of sacrifice, and strive for greater goals and higher ideals.

The surrounding forest seemed to cheer for his success, the breeze blew gently, the leaves rustled, as if telling the beginning of a new legend. Bai Zixuan turned around and took firm steps towards the unknown future.

As the last test was completed, the crystal ball shone brighter. The guardian said with a hint of relief: "You have proven your determination and courage. Now, you can touch the crystal ball."

Bai Zixuan walked forward slowly, his heart filled with awe. He stretched out his hand, and this time, no force could stop him. His fingers touched the crystal ball, and a warm power surged into his body. He felt that he was closely connected to this secret room and the history of the entire family.

He knew that he was no longer the ordinary Bai Zixuan. He had become the heir to the family power, and he would use this power to achieve greater goals.

As the light of the crystal ball gradually faded, Bai Zixuan felt his power growing. He knew that this exploration had just begun, but he was ready for any challenge. He turned and left the secret room, his heart full of expectations and determination for the future. He knew that his fate was closely linked to the power of this family, and he would use them to change the world.
