Half a month ago, Yaowang Valley.
As soon as Sun Yipu opened the letter delivered by the carrier pigeon from Liuyue Villa, he recognized at a glance that it was the handwriting of his good disciple Cui Yan and his friend's disciple Xi Xue.
"Oh, these two people, instead of doing their business, now they know to ask for help." After saying that, Sun Yipu sat down and slowly admired the masterpieces of the two.
Ever since Cui Yan and Xi Xue were brought to Liuyue Mountain Villa by Sang Xuezhen, they had either gone out to detoxify the Third Prince or studied the Pharmacopoeia within the villa. After the Third Prince returned to the capital, they hadn't left the villa since.
The two borrowed a carrier pigeon from Sang Xuezhen to write a letter, asking when they could return to Medicine King Valley. The letter also detailed what had happened in Liuyue City. The most important part of the letter concerned Eryi and her clinic.
Sun Yipu had just read the beginning and found it amusing to see the two men secretly groaning between the lines. But as he read further, his expression gradually darkened, becoming more solemn and serious.
The first section of the letter detailed Eryi's specially prepared incense recipe. Cui Yan, who had often copied medicinal sutras for Sun Yipu since childhood, used the same format, meticulously describing the incense recipe's effects. He also used the Third Prince's poison as an example. Finally, he attached a description of the Third Prince's condition when the two arrived in Liuyue City to treat him.
Unlike the other two, Sun Yipu had developed and refined the detoxification pill himself, and he was most familiar with its properties and effects. Sun Yipu wondered if, if the Third Prince had immediately departed for Medicine King Valley after being poisoned, he could have completely removed the poison without leaving any aftereffects.
Sun Yipu set the half-read letter aside and flipped through the paper. He wrote down every possible response. As he finally put pen to paper, he fell into deep thought.
He could completely remove the poison, but the wound caused by the initial entry of the venom could not be completely restored to its original state, and a lot of rotten flesh would have to be removed. Thinking of this, Sun Yipu picked up the letter and continued reading.
In his letter, Cui Yan boasted about using his medical skills to reattach a man's severed limb, and that Er Yi subsequently nursed the injured man back to normal. While Cui Yan was known for his talent, Sun Yipu knew his true potential. The two had been away from Medicine King Valley for only two months, and a broken bone would take a hundred days to heal. How could Cui Yan's limited medical skills possibly restore someone to normal?
Sun Yipu recalled a time when he had reattached a severed limb. It took six months from the time the limb was reattached to full recovery, and ultimately, it still wasn't fully restored. He then delved into this technique for a long time, and while he had new ideas, he couldn't guarantee a complete recovery.
After reading Cui Yan's nonsense in the letter about mistaking Eryi for a fellow disciple, Sun Yipu rushed to the back mountain with the letter and dug out the atlas of the disciples of Yaowang Valley through the generations, examining them one by one. Judging by their age and characteristics alone, none of them matched.
That night, Sun Yipu couldn't sleep the whole night, and when he got up the next day, he called Yan Wenshi over.
"Pack some of this year's newly made pills for Master, three of each kind per bottle."
"Yes," Yan Wenshi replied, "Master, are you going to give the pills away? Why not let Lin Su go? He's been much more well-behaved lately."
Sun Yipu shook his head, "Master wants to leave the valley."
Yan Wenshi paused, "Master, why did you suddenly want to leave the valley?"
"There's a letter from Cui Yan on the table. You can take a look."
"But has my junior brother gotten into trouble outside? If so, Wenshi will take care of it for Master." As he said that, Yan Wenshi walked to the table, picked up the letter and read it carefully.
After a while, Sun Yipu asked, "Do you understand?"
Yan Wenshi put the letter down, his face calm, "Wenshi, could you go with us?"
Sun Yipu looked at Yan Wenshi deeply and said, "Okay."
…
Since Sun Yipu officially took over Medicine King Valley at the age of thirty, he has rarely left the valley. When this news came out, everyone in Medicine King Valley was shocked.
"Master, why do you suddenly want to leave the valley?" Shen Mengting stopped Yan Wenshi and asked.
"Don't stop me from loading medicine for my master." Yan Wenshi pulled Shen Mengting away.
"I'll do it, and you tell us." Lin Su took the new bottle and began to put the pills into the bottle one by one. Shen Mengting nodded in agreement and followed to help.
Seeing his junior brothers and sisters helping, Yan Wenshi did not stop: "Master has several disciples, all of whom are talented, and their medical skills are among the best in the Central Plains, right?"
"Of course." Lin Su nodded.
"What do you think of our medical skills?" Yan Wenshi glanced at his fellow disciples.
"Of course it's good."
"It's often said that the most capable doctors in the world are all in Medicine King Valley. Do you agree with this?"
"certainly."
"What if it's not?"
Lin Su and Shen Mengting both stopped loading the medicine.
"After entering Medicine King Valley, we rarely leave the valley. Medicine King Valley is famous, and everyone in the world knows that people with difficult and complicated diseases should come to Medicine King Valley for treatment. We don't need to worry about having nowhere to use our medical skills. Any medicinal materials we want can be obtained for us by people in the martial arts world. We just need to concentrate on studying medicine in the valley." Lin Su and Shen Mengting nodded in agreement.
"But someone outside of Medicine King Valley has figured out a way to use a fragrant recipe to detoxify. It'll only take two months to reattach a severed limb, and it can also help remove poison from people."
"Brother, don't you believe the rumors?"
"This was written by Cui Yan himself."
"This is his first time out of the valley. Could it be that he was deceived by outsiders?"
"You're complacent and closed-door." Yan Wenshi paused as he loaded the medicine. "Is it so unbelievable that there are people outside of Medicine King Valley with superior medical skills?"
The two looked at each other.
…
After Sun Yipu led Yan Wenshi to Liuyue City, he first went to Liuyue Villa to visit Cui Yan and Xi Xue. Although he had intended to visit a master when he left the valley, he thought it was not surprising that these two were new to the business and were deceived. He decided to first understand the situation.
After teaching Cui Yan a lesson in person, he went to the clinic to check it out in person.
When they returned to Liuyue Villa that night, Sang Xuezhen had already ordered people to prepare a banquet to welcome Sun Yipu.
Sang Xuezhen and Sun Yipu had been friends for decades, and knowing Sun Yipu had arrived at Liuyue Villa, he naturally offered him a personal reception. Upon meeting, Sun Yipu, after taking in Sang Xuezhen's expression, asked, "How did you eliminate all the heat and toxins in your body?" At his level, simply observing, smelling, asking, and feeling a patient was enough to tell him a great deal.
"Come on, sit down, I will tell you more." Then, Sang Xuezhen slowly told Cui Yan the things that he did not write in the letter, including the fact that many people in Liuyue Villa were poisoned by Gu.
"After reading the letter Cui Yan sent, I knew you were coming." Sang Xuezhen teased, "Your medical skills are inferior to that of a little girl. Are you convinced?"
Sun Yipu just shook his head. "I never thought that using incense alone could accomplish so many things. From what you said, this person has a good character, much better than my inferior disciples."
"Tomorrow, I will pay you a formal visit."
…
Seeing the elegant middle-aged man named Sun Yipu suddenly bow to him, Eryi hurried forward to help him up and said, "Sir, why do you need such a grand ceremony? Please take a seat." Every doctor in the Central Plains knew the name of the current Medicine King, Sun Yipu. Unfortunately, Eryi was an outsider and had only heard of him occasionally but could not remember. But this did not hinder their conversation.
"A few days ago, my humble disciple bothered you for a long time. You didn't take it seriously and even disciplined me without hiding anything from me. I am very grateful."
"You mean...?"
"It's Cui Yan." Sun Yipu took the box from the apprentice behind him and handed it to Eryi.
It was so heavy that Eryi almost dropped it when he took it.
"I heard you only specialize in external injuries. This is the pharmacopoeia of Medicine King Valley over the years, along with some of my own humble experiences. I hope it will be of use to you." Sun Yipu, judging by his own experience, believed that a doctor dedicated to saving lives must constantly strive to improve their skills. He offered the Medicine King Valley's authentic legacy, passed down through generations. "Among them are some of this year's new pills. I hope they will be of use to you. Please accept them."
"Are you the King of Medicine?" Eryi wanted to return the box, but Ling Lingba asked her to accept it.
"I can't bear this title. It was just a casual name given by others. I feel ashamed."
After the pleasantries, Sun Yipu and Eryi discussed their thoughts and experiences on medicine. Eryi, of course, knew nothing about it. But Sun Yipu's conversation was mostly stream-of-consciousness, not involving profound pharmacology. This back-and-forth chatter dragged on for quite a while.
After a while, a new patient arrived at the clinic, and Sun Yipu said goodbye and left. As he left, he said, "I'm staying at Liuyue Villa now. If you have any questions about pharmacology, feel free to come and see me."
As they boarded the carriage back to Liuyue Villa, Sun Yipu said to Yan Wenshi with satisfaction, "This person is truly extraordinary. Her ideas are so wild and imaginative. No wonder she came up with the idea of using incense for healing. I've benefited a lot from talking to her this time."
Yan Wenshi nodded seriously, agreeing deeply with it.
…
After Sun Yipu left, Eryi took the time to open the box. It was filled with various bottles and jars, as well as medical books.
"Why do you want me to accept these?" Eryi opened the book.
【Host, please read these medicines carefully.】
Eryi put the book down and picked up the medicine bottle. It seemed nothing special. Then he removed the stopper and looked inside.
[Concentrating Mind Pills: After taking them, you will be awake for 240 hours.] Each pill can be exchanged for 30 energy points.
[Detoxification Pills: After taking, you will gain 120 hours of toxin suppression effect.] Each pill can be exchanged for 20 energy points.
[Qi Gathering Pills: After taking, the recovery capacity is 1.2 times the base value] Each pill can be replaced with 50 energy points.
There are many other varieties, although they are of little use to Eryi himself, they are priceless in the outside world.
"In a C-level plane, it's incredibly rare to be able to create something like this using something that originally couldn't convert energy." Zero Zero Eight commented.
But Eryi's focus was different: "Then can higher-level planes obtain more of these finished products?"
【Yes. 】
"Then I have to speed up and upgrade the healing station so that I can get to the higher plane as soon as possible."
…
After this, Medicine King Sun Yipu would frequently visit the clinic to talk to Eryi. Eryi could fool him once, twice, but if she did it too often, her hidden secrets would be exposed. So she simply went into hiding, staying in the lounge every day and only leaving when she had something important to do.
"Is Mr. Er here today?"
"The master is in seclusion developing a new prescription."
"That's as I should." Sun Yipu nodded repeatedly and returned to Liuyue Villa, where he gathered his disciples to study the new method. He was much older and should set a good example for the younger generation.
