September 1st, at the time of Si.

A simple carriage was rumbling along the border of Chaoyang Province, heading towards the border between Laifeng Kingdom and Zhaoyang Kingdom.

Xuanyi Valley, known as the sacred place of medicine, has always been a popular destination for doctors from all over the world. However, most people only know that Xuanyi Valley is in the southeast of Laifeng Country, but few know its exact location.

Only every three years in the autumn, doctors who received invitations from the two emissaries of Xuanyi Valley, "Miraculous Hands" and "Rejuvenation," could enter Xuanyi Valley on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the following year with the token. This year, the two emissaries left the valley to select suitable doctors for the trip.

While Han Yichen rode his Xiangyun horse non-stop towards the capital, Mu Lige and Yu Xiaotian followed Xuan Ming towards Xuanyi Valley. However, contrary to Han Yichen's expectations, they had to slow down the carriage to take care of Shan You, who had asthma, and Yu Xiaotian, who was in poor health.

"Second Elder, I wonder how far away Xuanyi Valley is?"

Looking at the increasingly familiar scenery outside the carriage, Mu Lige was slightly shocked. He had never expected that this mysterious Xuanyi Valley would be located at the border between Zhaoyang Kingdom and Laifeng Kingdom.

"Based on the current speed of the carriage, it will take another two hours."

Xuan Ming, who was dozing off in the carriage, opened his eyes and glanced at Shan You, who had just recovered from an asthma attack, and Yu Xiaotian, who was sitting next to Mu Lige and had strangled him while he was sleeping in the inn last night. He snorted angrily.

"I'm sorry, I'm a burden to you." Shan You said with a guilty look on his face.

The journey, which should have taken two days, took several days. Today was the fifth day since Mu Lige and his group set out. Shan You had suffered three asthma attacks along the way, but thanks to the medicine Hua Qingcheng gave him and Xuan Ming's timely acupuncture, he was able to recover safely.

Shan You also knew that the reason why the master brought him along was because he was worried that if he stayed at the Hua residence, he would get sick and get into trouble without timely treatment. Therefore, he felt very guilty. After all, the purpose of this trip was to treat Fourth Uncle Jun's illness, but in the end, he had wasted a lot of time.

"Ah You, since Qingqing gave you to me, I have to take responsibility for you. I can't help but have an asthma attack. You... don't have to blame yourself too much."

Last night, at the inn in Chaoyang Province's provincial capital, Yu Xiaotian suddenly jumped out of bed in the middle of the night, ran into the next room, and strangled Xuanming. Mu Lige was deeply worried about Yu Xiaotian, fearing that if he didn't detoxify him, he would not only suffer the ravages of the poison but also be manipulated by Ran Qiyue into doing things against his will. However, seeing Shan You's understanding, he didn't want to burden the young man too much.

"Brother, why don't you just knock me out? I'm afraid something like last night will happen again." Yu Xiaotian glanced at Xuan Ming next to him with the corner of his eye, looking apologetic.

"There's no need to be so troublesome. If this is what you want, I can just give you two injections." Xuan Ming said unhappily when he heard this.

"Second Elder, Fourth Brother didn't do it on purpose. He was controlled by the Imperial Preceptor of Zhaoyang Nation, which is why he acted so madly. I apologize to you on his behalf."

"Humph! If I didn't know this, I would have killed him with one blow the moment he sneaked into my room!"

Xuanming just wanted to observe to what extent Yu Xiaotian was controlled. It was not that he really could not avoid Yu Xiaotian's surprise attack, but this did not affect his anger towards Yu Xiaotian.

"I got the token first, so I have the final say!"

"No, the token is in my hand, you should listen to me!"

…

As Mu Lige and his group were walking, they were blocked by a group of villagers. After the driver stopped the carriage, Xiao Lengyu got out and asked the onlookers, only to learn that two sisters were fighting over a token. The stalemate lasted for a long time, and more and more people came to watch the excitement, until the entire road was blocked.

"Token? Do you know what token it is?"

Xuanming's face darkened when he heard this. Could it be that Miaoshou and Huichun had just passed by here?

"Reporting to the Second Elder, it seems that it is for the token that allows me to go to Xuanyi Valley to participate in the 'Xinglin Conference' on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year." Xiao Lengyu reported what he had learned truthfully.

"This is ridiculous! Whoever gets this token will be eligible to enter Xuanyi Valley and participate in the 'Xinglin Conference'. How can there be a fight for the token?" Xuanming's face was slightly cold.

"Second Elder, you may not know that the two people vying for the token are surnamed Xue. They are sisters from the same mother. The elder sister is Xue Fen and the younger sister is Xue Fang. Both are famous doctors in Chaoyang Province. Although there is only one token, it only states that they are the legitimate daughters of the Xue family. They still have an eighty-year-old father at home. If one of them is going to attend the 'Xinglin Conference', the other will have to stay behind to care for him alone."

"If this goes on, it will probably take a lot of time. I'll go down and take a look." Mu Lige glanced at the dense crowd with a worried look on his face.

"No, brother! You are pregnant now, and there are so many people ahead. Don't let anyone bump into you. Let me go and persuade them to give way." Yu Xiaotian said as he stood up from the carriage, but as soon as he stood up, his legs went numb and he had to sit back down again.

"What a hassle! Everyone, sit down!"

Xuanming glared at Mu Lige and Yu Xiaotian with annoyance. One was frail, the other pregnant; neither was suitable for the trip. His medicine boy wasn't likely to handle the situation, and the coachman was even less likely. Xuanming was forced to end his leisurely nap, dismounting from the carriage and heading toward the throng.

"I got the token first, so I have the final say!"
