Xu Manzhi swung the axe with both hands, glanced at Zhang Dayong, and asked, "What's wrong? This is just an ordinary stone. I was planning to use it to sharpen it so I can use it to peel sweet potatoes."

“…” Zhang Dayong.

She defeated me.

This girl can easily find a bunch of Heavenly Star Wood, and with a few more casual searches, she can bring back natural Divine Demon Stones, each one a rare treasure.

He felt bad that she kept wasting such good things.

The only way forward is to teach her how to recognize and use the methods.

He said weakly, "I promise to teach you medicine and toxicology, but—"

Xu Manzhi didn't like hearing the last two words.

She frowned.

Zhang Dayong hurriedly said, "I can teach you all my skills, but you can't consider yourself my disciple. Whatever the outcome, it has nothing to do with me. If you can do that..."

"I can."

Xu Manzhi nodded in agreement like a chicken pecking at rice.

She stepped forward with a grin, tossed the stone aside, grabbed his arm, and said with a smile, "Master, your eyes have become more discerning. You've made a good deal by taking me as your disciple."

At least they are now sharp-eyed and clear-sighted.

She kept calling him "Master," completely ignoring his instructions. She was so brave that she kept rolling her eyelids, but when he handed her a roasted sweet potato, she still took it without hesitation.

Take a big bite.

Maya.

This is absolutely awful.

It tasted bitter and had seeped into the meat.

He suddenly felt a pang of regret...

“Master, I see a lot of poisonous plants in your yard. This pink flower has no earthworms underneath it, and there are no flies or mosquitoes for a long time. What kind of dangerous thing is it?” Xu Manzhi asked.

Zhang Dayong was horrified.

Unexpectedly, the girl has excellent observation skills.

Even this precious "Blue Silver Grass" caught her eye, and she discovered its secrets.

"To be honest, the reason I am unwilling to help people is not only because I am unwilling to get involved in other people's karma, but also because I was deeply hurt by my disciple. The most fundamental reason is that I used to be a poison master, not a doctor," he said slowly.

In his lineage, he excels in the study of toxicology.

When choosing his major, he started with toxicology, but during the War of Resistance against Japan, he switched to medicine.

Toxicology.

Xu Manzhi's eyes sparkled.

She likes it.

It suited her better than studying medicine.

Finding a master and learning two skills is really a good deal.

“Master, I don’t have anything to give you for tuition. This is something I dug up from the mountains. Do you like it?” Xu Manzhi rummaged in her pocket and pulled out a ginseng root as thick as an arm.

Yes.

Strictly speaking, this thing isn't a spice, but for some reason, there's a large area of ​​it in the space, and at first she didn't know what it was.

She thought it was a radish, so she tore one off and started eating it.

It's so bitter.

Food is difficult to swallow.

She stopped caring.

But last night, she smelled the exact same bitter smell in the hole in the corner of Zhang Dayong's bedroom.

What's hidden away might be a treasure.

She casually plucked one to see Zhang Dayong's reaction.

"Ahhhhhh—" Zhang Dayong exclaimed.

The ginseng has become a spirit.

How can there be such a big one, with such a rich and mellow color and aroma? This is not scientifically possible.

Xu Manzhi was slightly taken aback.

She smiled.

If Zhang Dayong believes it's a treasure, wouldn't he be rich?

There's a huge space here.

If you just sell them casually, you can make a lot of money...

Xu Manzhi felt a little sorry for him, but she knew that you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.

We'll spend a lot of money.

Once she learns all his skills, she'll earn it back.

Thinking of this, she smiled broadly.

“Okay, okay, okay, don’t worry, I will teach you toxicology first, and then teach you medicine. It will take at least three years, and at most five or six years, depending on your comprehension,” Zhang Dayong said.

*Snap*

Xu Manzhi was completely bewildered.

What kind of difficult subject could take several years to learn?

don't know.

But she suppressed her worries and started learning from Zhang Dayong.

At first, Zhang Dayong didn't pay any attention.

His previous apprentice studied his medical skills for ten years, but he spent ten days memorizing just one herbal formula, and even then, he couldn't remember it clearly or the names of the herbs.

Xu Manzhi dug into the soil and pulled out a sweet potato, saying, "Master, let's begin now. What should you teach me first?"

"The Song of Poisoning Theory is the root of all poison use. You must memorize it word for word. The slightest mistake could lead to a death sentence. You cannot be careless."

"good."

Zhang Dayong plans to sing his lines, making them easier to remember.

He sang it once, the whole song containing about 655 five-character phrases.

After he finished singing, he smiled and said, "This is the whole song. I'll tell you the whole story word by word, and you can memorize it as you listen."

"No need, I've already memorized it."

"What?"

Under Zhang Dayong's astonished gaze, Xu Manzhi sang out all 655 words without missing a single one, even down to the drawn-out intonation.

This is... a monster.

"Master, what will we learn next?" the girl asked earnestly, her round eyes wide open.

Zhang Dayong didn't believe in superstition.

He then taught a book called "Ten Poisonous Herbs," which was extremely obscure and difficult to understand.

After he finished singing, he looked at her with a provocative expression, as if to say, "Go ahead and recite it if you dare."

Xu Manzhi's blood was boiling.

She enjoys challenging and difficult work.

And so, I finished memorizing the "Ten Poisonous Herbs" chapter.

"!!!" Zhang Dayong.

He made her memorize it word by word, and she did so without error.
