Chapter 125 Experience Points

"Madam's illness is not difficult to treat. Pills can be made within five days, but this disease still requires some external help."

Shen Jinan withdrew his hand from taking the pulse and said in a gentle voice.

"Outside? Doctor Shen, please speak frankly."

The prefect's wife's face, as rosy as a silver plate, showed a look of confusion.

"This disease requires sincerity, and it also depends on the will of Heaven. If Madam is willing to eat vegetarian food every night and burn incense at Anxi Temple more often, remember, you must go in person, otherwise your heart will not be sincere."

Shen Jinan gathered his sleeves, stretched out his bare hand, and pointed to the temple in the distant mountains.

“But, but…”

The wife of the prefect was in a dilemma. She never liked to eat vegetarian food and rarely traveled far. Shen Jinan's words were like asking for her life.

"If you find it difficult, Madam, please seek help from someone else."

Seeing that she hadn't made up her mind, Shen Jinan pretended to look cold and packed up to leave.

"Hey, Doctor Shen, that's not what I meant."

Seeing that her life-saving straw was about to leave, the prefect’s wife hurriedly grabbed Shen Jinan’s sleeve.

"Luzhu, stop Doctor Shen quickly."

At her command, Luzhu hurriedly obeyed her suggestion, knelt down in front of Shen Jinan, and opened her arms to stop her.

"Doctor Shen! Our wife didn't mean it! What will happen to our wife if you leave?"

The two of them pulled and stopped each other, and Shen Jinan's mouth twitched, but there was no need to be so exaggerated.

"Forget it, since Madam didn't mean it, I'll help Madam again."

Shen Jinan pretended to sigh and turned around.

The magistrate's wife was overjoyed and asked someone to serve tea and seat her again.

"Doctor Shen, I will do everything you say, but how long do I have to do it?"

She doesn't want to be a vegetarian and chant Buddhist scriptures for the rest of her life because of this disease.

"Madam, don't worry. When Heaven sees your sincerity, the frequency will naturally be reduced."

Shen Jinan picked up the teacup on the table, and the curling mist blocked the emotions in her eyes, making it difficult to see her expression clearly.

"Okay, then starting tomorrow, I will do as Doctor Shen says."

The prefect's wife gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

Seeing that the instructions were almost complete, Shen Jinan stood up and said goodbye. The prefect's wife wanted to invite her to have dinner, but she politely declined.

Then Lu Zhu brought several maids with herbal medicine boxes and sent them into Shen Jinan's carriage like water.

After leaving the government office, Shen Jinan half-lay in the carriage, opened the boxes of medicinal herbs one by one, and put them all into the system space.

The system's electronic sound instantly rang out, "Experience points +1000, +600, +800, +..."

Listening to the skyrocketing experience points, Shen Jinan was in a very good mood and hummed a little tune leisurely.

"Congratulations to the host. You have gained 6400 experience points today, and are rewarded with a chance to win a prize."

Shen Jinan was overjoyed when she heard the prompt tone. It might take several months to accumulate 6400 experience points. This time, she had to thank Master Cao for taking the initiative to deliver the medicinal herbs to her door.

"A lottery? Are you drawing skills or items?"

She asked curiously, but no matter which one it was, it wouldn't be a disadvantage.

"Replying to the host, this time we're drawing skills. The skills include the Six Arts of a Gentleman, the Eight Graces of a Woman, and the Four Books and Five Classics..."

After Shen Jinan heard this, his eyes lit up, and with a thought, he saw the floating screen in front of him. On it was a huge turntable with various skills evenly distributed.

"Host, do you want to start the lottery?

"Let the lottery begin."

After she finished speaking, the turntable began to spin rapidly, and then stopped in a purple area.

Shen Jinan quickly looked over.

Royal skills.

"Yu (driving) is one of the six arts of a gentleman. It is usually the art of controlling horses and carriages, but it is also called the art of driving. It is the comprehensive optimization of planning, driving, and leadership."

The system's popular science made Shen Jinan instantly interested in this skill.

"So, not only can I ride a horse, but I can also control and lead others?"

Shen Jinan asked curiously, but the system did not directly answer her question and disappeared.

Shen Jinan was already accustomed to the system's nature, but she was now eager to verify the power of this skill.

"Uncle Zhou, let's go to the horse market."

Shen Jinan lifted the curtain and gave orders to Mr. Zhou.

"Okay, Doctor Shen, sit tight."

Uncle Zhou raised his whip and drove the carriage towards the horse market.

Arriving at the horse market, Shen Jinan couldn't wait to start picking out the horse he liked and verifying it.

At this moment, a roar caught her attention.

Not far away, a strong snow-white horse was trying to escape from the control of the horse dealer. It kept kicking its hooves and was about to hurt the crowd.

Without a second thought, Shen Jinan rushed over, snatched the reins from the horse dealer, and jumped onto the horse with almost no help. He held the reins tightly with one hand and held the horse's bridle with the other.

This set of movements was so smooth and flowing that everyone was dazzled, and the horse dealer was even more stunned.

What was even more unexpected was that Shen Jinan actually tamed the horse. The horse snorted meekly, as if its previous rage was just an illusion.

"good!"

Everyone immediately applauded and cheered for Shen Jinan. A strange feeling arose in Shen Jinan's heart. She felt as if she had a telepathic connection with the white horse.

She dismounted and asked the horse dealer who was still in a daze while holding the horse.

"Little brother, how much is this horse for?"

The horse dealer woke up as if from a dream, then looked at Shen Jinan and made a number.

"Fifty taels?"

she asked tentatively.

"Humph, how is that possible?! Five thousand taels! Not a cent less."

The horse dealer was spitting and praising the horse to the sky, saying how difficult it was for him to bring it back from the Western Regions, etc.

Shen Jinan's heart was calm, but the white horse rubbed her face affectionately.

"Miss, I think you have a connection with this horse. I'll sell it to you for three thousand five hundred taels."

The horse dealer was ready to make a move. Even if Shen Jinan didn't buy it, she had tamed the horse just now. Who wouldn't love a docile snow dragon colt?

"Forget it, I don't want it. You're just asking for too much."

Shen Jinan frowned and said with some displeasure, returning the reins to the horse dealer.

Unexpectedly, Shen Jinan had just taken half a step away when the Snow Dragon Horse immediately became irritable again, staring at the horse dealer with its pair of pitch-black eyes.

The horse dealer was so frightened that he quickly grabbed Shen Jinan and said, "Miss, don't go. Five hundred taels, five hundred taels is okay? No less."

Shen Jinan remained unmoved and was about to leave, but the Snow Dragon Colt's hooves were already stirring.

"One hundred taels! Miss, please think about it again!"

"Fifty taels! Is fifty taels okay?!"

The horse dealer shouted the last sentence with tears in his eyes. A smile flashed across Shen Jinan's lips. He turned around, took out the silver, and led the Snow Dragon Horse back to his carriage.
