Chapter 1290: Physician Medicinal Guide
Elder Meng Ye’s gaze turned strange. He waved the green jade plaque in his hands and revealed a smile with deep meaning. “You’re saying that… you’ll come again tomorrow?”
Chu Liuyue nodded in embarra.s.sment for once.
“And the day after?”
Chu Liuyue’s face turned even redder, and she nodded.
“…You won’t come for a month straight, right?” Elder Meng Ye’s lips twitched.
“No, no! How could I do such a thing?!” Chu Liuyue hurriedly denied it. She cupped her hands together and explained with much difficulty and embarra.s.sment, “Um… You also know that I just broke through to become a ninth-grade heavenly doctor not long ago, so I’ll use up a lot of herbs now…”
Elder Meng Ye glanced at her strangely. n.o.body would have the same reason. There are so many ninth-grade heavenly doctors in the academy, but none of them did this!
“Elder… You wouldn’t disagree, would you?” asked Chu Liuyue carefully.
Elder Meng Ye suddenly laughed out loud. “Why would I?! Since Wan Zheng has already promised you, it means that he thinks highly of you! These few years, he only accepted you as his disciple, and he doesn’t even have enough time to dote on you! Why can’t he let you spend some of his points?”
He waved his hand. “Don’t worry! I promise to send this bill to him in a month!”
…
Chu Liuyue also smiled. “Thank you, Elder!”
Elder Meng Ye lay down again. “Go ahead!”
Chu Liuyue bowed and left.
Medicinal Valley recovered its peace.
As a light breeze came over, the intense herbal fragrance wafted through the air.
...
Elder Meng Ye lay on the broken wooden bed and propped his leg up as he fanned himself in an irregular manner. He muttered softly, “Hah, Wan Zheng that old fellow will suffer greatly this time!”
He tilted his head and looked in a certain direction within Medicinal Valley.
At night, the gigantic Xuan formation flickered with an extremely faint light, which covered everything. It also hid everything within it.
Elder Meng Ye’s gaze turned deeper, and he kept silent for some time before he softly chuckled. “I haven’t seen a kid that caused so much trouble in a while… He is rather similar to you. That medicinal garden has been kept for you all this while, but you don’t even know how to come back and take a look at it, stupid girl.”
At the very end, he shook his head and closed his eyes with some reminiscence and helpless love. “You always make people worry about you…”
…
She had a peaceful sleep that night.
The next day.
Chu Liuyue woke up early in the morning, briefly tidied herself up, and went directly to Elder Wan Zheng’s place.
After reaching, she realized that Elder Wan Zheng was already waiting for her.
The mentor and disciple talked for a while before going straight into the topic.
Elder Wan Zheng first exchanged some blows with Chu Liuyue. After confirming that her abilities were indeed stronger than she looked, he felt proud and curious. However, he eventually held back his impulse and didn’t ask Chu Liuyue about her background.
“Since you can already produce intermediate ninth-grade pills… With your talent and sensitivity, you’ll be able to go to the next stage in no time and produce a peak ninth-grade pill.” As Elder Wan Zheng spoke, he took out a book and pa.s.sed it over.
Chu Liuyue took it with both hands and saw a few powerful words on it—Physician Medicinal Guide.
Chu Liuyue looked up strangely. “Mentor, this—”
“Above ninth-grade heavenly doctors is the Physician level.” Elder Wan Zheng stood with one hand behind his back and said seriously, “Amongst the public medicinal books in the academy, the highest-grade formula is peak ninth-grade. Above that are all the private collections of the elders. This is the book that my mentor gave me back then. Now, it’s time to give it to you.”
The pa.s.sing down of heavenly doctor skills was extremely private, and it was even more so for higher grades. Normally, it was already very hard for a top-grade heavenly doctor to develop a disciple with similar skills to them.
This disciple alone would use up a large amount of effort and strength.
Elder Wan Zheng pa.s.sing this book to her had already proved how highly he thought of Chu Liuyue.
Chu Liuyue’s heart felt warm as she held the medicinal book tightly and solemnly said, “Thank you for your teaching, Mentor. I’ll definitely work hard to cultivate and not let you down.”
Elder Wan Zheng patted her shoulders emotionally. “You’ve always been sensible. I’m not worried at all! Take this book back and study it carefully. If you don’t know anything, feel free to ask me about it!”
Chu Liuyue nodded forcefully.
…
Time always pa.s.sed very quickly when she focused on her cultivation.
It was afternoon in the blink of an eye, and Chu Liuyue planned on bidding farewell.
She glanced at the sky and suddenly recalled that Tuan Zi was still at Million Wine Mountain in an unknown state. “Mentor, has Million Wine Mountain been opened?”
Elder Wan Zheng was dazed and calculated the time. “It should be ready soon. Originally, it was time two days ago, but due to safety reasons, Bo Yan and the rest delayed it by a few days. If I haven’t recalled it wrongly… it’ll be open the day after tomorrow.”
As he spoke, he looked at Chu Liuyue with much alertness. “Why? What do you want to do there again?”
He remembered very clearly that out of the three times Chu Liuyue was punished, two of them were related to Million Wine Mountain! This caused him to be scared even when he talked about Million Wine Mountain.
Chu Liuyue hurriedly said, “Nothing. I was just casually asking.”
“I’m telling you—you’re not allowed to go over as you wish anymore!” Elder Wan Zheng warned her. “Previously, Bo Yan didn’t punish you severely because you went there to refine the weapon soul for the legendary weapon, and Shang Yulin tried his best to protect you. If it happens again… Even I won’t help you any longer!”
It seems like I don’t have any credibility in front of these elders. Chu Liuyue sighed in her heart. “Yes! I’ll remember it!”
