"Physician Cheng Feng, this... What's going on?"
It took Physician Bai Chan a moment before he recovered. Upon recognizing a familiar face, he asked hastily.
"Physician Bai, I was blind to not notice your greatness, to think that your medical skills have reached such an astounding levels in just a few years. I hope that you can forgive me for the times that I've offended you!"
With a reddened face, Physician Cheng Feng clasped his hands respectfully.
"..."
Countless question marks popped in Physician Bai Chan's head.
Did these fellows eat something wrong this morning?
Why have all of their att.i.tudes changed after I fainted?
After a moment of doubt, the confused Physician Bai finally understood the situation. The fellow who stole his emblem seemed to have treated the Great Herb King under his ident.i.ty.
Despite knocking him out, that fellow didn't take his money or his possessions. In fact, he even bought him medicinal herbs that were worth thirty thousand gold taels... All of these, just to help treat someone?
Why does this feel so suspicious?
How can there be such a good thing in this world...
If that’s really the case, shouldn’t I consider finding another remote alley to loiter in?
Shouldn’t I beg the heavens to show mercy and bring me a few more robbers like him...
...
Zhang Xuan was oblivious to Physician Bai Chan’s earnest pleas. In the past three days, he had been staying in the Great Herb King Manor. Other than reading through the books in the Library of Heaven's Path, he spent most of his time tutoring Mo Yu.
This was what he had promised her. Now that he had managed to convince the Great Herb King to help him, it was time for him to fulfill his end of the promise.
After a few days of tutelage under Zhang Xuan, Mo Yu was completely impressed with the capability of the man who was even younger than her.
Her apothecary teacher was a famous figure in Tianwu Kingdom, but in terms of imparting knowledge, his ability to identify crucial points and mistakes was nowhere near Zhang Xuan’s.
In just three days, her pill forging skills had made a huge leap. At this moment, she was already capable of forging a grade-2 pill independently.
And being able to forge a grade-2 pill meant that she could take the 2-star apothecary examination. To be able to reach such a standard with just three days of tutoring, even until now, Mo Yu could not believe that this was indeed reality.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, without at least five to six years of hard work, it is impossible for one to advance from a 1-star apothecary to a 2-star.
"Physician Bai, we've gathered all of the books that you require!"
On the morning of the fourth day, Zhang Xuan was guiding Mo Yu as usual when the Great Herb King walked in.
"Let's go and take a look!"
Zhang Xuan stood up.
He had been staying in the manor for the past three days for this, and he was glad that the other party didn't let him down.
"This way!"
The Great Herb King led the way, and soon they arrived at a huge room. Books of all appearance filled the interior, and with a glance at the outermost row, they were verified to be indeed Half-Zongs.h.i.+ and Zongs.h.i.+ realm cultivation technique manuals.
"I'll take a look, you can all leave first!"
Aware that his reading method was beyond unorthodox, Zhang Xuan waved them away.
"Yes!"
The moment the Great Herb King and Butler Lu stepped out of the room, they heard hurried footsteps from within, and it seemed to them that someone was running in the room.
Didn't he ask us to gather these books here so that he can browse through them?
