Before entering the Holy Tower, Xiao Qingyin instructed Linglong to stay in the Bai family and come to her if there were any unusual movements.

She's coming over so late at night; something must have happened.

Yi Shuihan reluctantly let go of her and flew away from the Holy Tower with her.

Linglong was hiding in a small alley next to the square, waiting for Xiao Qingyin. After hearing footsteps, she came out from the shadows.

Just as I was about to greet him, I caught a glimpse of the Holy Lord's figure and was so shocked that my heart almost burst.

With a light touch of the toes, it's time to run away.

Xiao Qingyin spoke up in time to stop her.

"Don't worry, the Holy Lord won't make things difficult for you."

Linglong was taken aback.

Countless thoughts raced through my mind.

Finally, one thought lingered: Could it be that even the Holy Lord has been controlled by Xiao Qingyin?

That's just too...too powerful.

Fortunately, she had long since abandoned the darkness and embraced the light, following Xiao Qingyin.

Otherwise, he would definitely have died a gruesome death.

“Young lady,” she said respectfully, “the four great families have stopped their infighting and are secretly plotting something big.”

"Did it start today?"

Xiao Qingyin asked.

Linglong nodded.

"Okay, I understand."

Linglong bowed, leaped onto the roof, and left the alley.

Xiao Qingyin glanced at Yi Shuihan: "It seems Bai Musheng has seen through you."

Indeed, the person who knows you best is your enemy.

Yi Shuihan nodded: "We need to start preparing."

"Have Yi Wu and his men bring over a batch of microscopes."

Xiao Qingyin said to Yi Shuihan.

The microscope was used to dispel the mystique surrounding the people of Nandan.

"In addition, there is a severe shortage of medical supplies here. It would be best to organize a group of doctors to come and provide assistance. Baibaozhai should also open a branch here."

"Okay, I'll contact them in a bit."

"Is it possible to get in touch with Ji Yunhua?"

Yi Shuihan shook his head: "She and Ouyang Xiuqi haven't returned to the capital yet."

"Could you forward this letter?" Xiao Qingyin asked. "I'd like to ask her to come and take charge of the Baibaozhai business."

"Can."

After discussing it, the two started writing letters and contacting their former subordinates, getting busy with various tasks.

In the days that followed, Xiao Qingyin expanded the scale of the doctor training class. Originally, there were only twenty or thirty people learning medicine from her, but now there are two or three hundred people.

In addition, a group of pharmaceutical apprentices were recruited to teach them how to make finished medicines.

As for the source of the medicinal materials, that was left to Yan Yufei, who was in charge of the acquisition.

The common people were already so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat. Seeing that there was profit to be made, they didn't care about whether it was heretical or not, and they all went up the mountain to collect herbs.

Nandan is rich in herbs and medicinal plants. Many of these herbs have been unharvested for years, resulting in a large quantity of aged medicinal materials that produce highly effective medicines.

These medicines circulated covertly and cured a large number of patients.

For the people of Nandan, these medicines are cheaper and more effective than holy water, so they naturally prefer to choose medicine over holy water.

Gradually, their dependence on the holy water decreased, and they became less reverent towards the religion.

By the time Yi Wu and the others arrived, there were very few people left who had come to the Holy Tower to collect the holy water.

...

When Yi Wu and the others saw Yi Shuihan, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in shock.

In just a few months, our master has become the leader of the Holy Church.

That's way too fast!

How exactly did they do it?

They looked at Yi Shuihan with curiosity, hoping he could explain.

To satisfy their curiosity.

Yi Shuihan said nothing, only asking them, "Did you bring the people and the things?"

“I brought them,” Yi Wu replied. “They’re all at the inn. I brought ten microscopes and a hundred doctors with me.”

Yi Shuihan frowned.

One hundred doctors may sound like a lot, but Nandan has ten states, including the Holy City, so if you divide them up, you only get ten doctors per state.

This is far from meeting the medical needs of the people.

However, it's not easy to get a hundred doctors here, so we can only make do for now.

In a few years, a large number of doctors will be trained locally.

Where is Ji Yunhua?

He continued to ask.

When will she arrive?

He had arranged for people to pick up Ji Yunhua.

However, Ji Yunhua is in the southwest, and it takes longer to travel from the capital to the southwest and then from the southwest to Nandan than to travel from the capital to Nandan by water.

"It may take about ten more days."

Yi Wu replied.

Yi Shuihan nodded: "Alright, you can go back to the inn now."

Yi Wu's eyes darted around: "Can't we stay here at the Holy Tower?"

This tower looks really interesting, and he really wants to explore it.

"cannot."

Yi Shuihan said expressionlessly.

"We need to deal with the four great families first."

Only when he truly takes over Nandan will he be able to place his own people in positions of authority.

Yi Wu and the others left with regret in their eyes.

Yi Shuihan told Xiao Qingyin what they had reported.

Xiao Qingyin smiled and said, "Everything is ready, except for the east wind."

"I suspect they will make their move at tomorrow's rally."

Yi Shuihan looked out the window at the square.

It's as if I can already foresee what tomorrow will bring.

Xiao Qingyin put her arm around his shoulder and said, "I look forward to your performance."

Yi Shuihan smiled slightly.

The next morning, the four great families and their followers gathered together.

Yi Shuihan delivered a speech from the window on the third floor. After the speech, it was the Holy Son's turn to speak.

Bai Musheng glanced at the third floor, walked to the front of the crowd, and calmly said, "Everyone, I would like to expose a conspiracy to you."

"That is, at this very moment, the Holy Lord standing on the third floor is not our His Majesty, but a counterfeit."

The believers were in uproar.
