Chapter 17: Inherit My Mantle



"Girl, why did you come to Baishui Town?"

"Girl, are you alone?"

"girl……"

Xie Ling was annoyed by the noise of the man next to her. He looked quite aloof, so why was he so noisy?

She said directly: "Sir, I am already married and my husband is very strict. He doesn't like me talking to other men. I'm sorry."

When the man heard these words, his narrow peach blossom eyes slightly curved, revealing some surprise and joy.

Even through layers of curtains, Xie Ling could still feel the man's glowing eyes.

She turned her head and looked directly at the platform.

Five or six people had come up to the stage for medical consultation one after another. Xie Ling pricked up her ears and suddenly felt bored.

The patients were treated by several young people, all wearing fairy-like white robes.

That level is similar to that of the disciple she accepted at the end of the world.

Compared to her, it's far worse.

Xie Ling thought that these young people might be like little disciples on Mingyue Island.

But why is Mingyue Island promoting it so vigorously?

Could it be that...the drunkard's real intention is not to drink?

"For nausea during pregnancy, take Xiangsha Liujunzi Decoction. One qian of ginseng, two qian of white atractylodes, two qian of poria... three qian of pinellia."

The young female doctor casually glanced at the pregnant woman in front of her, took her pulse perfunctorily, and began to prescribe medicine.

Xie Ling was close to the doctor and heard the prescription clearly.

Three grams of Pinellia? That much may harm the fetus.

The pregnant woman, with her big belly, kept thanking him when she heard the words.

"Thank you, living god, thank you, living god!"

The doctor waved her hand impatiently, signaling her to go down.

Xie Ling frowned, but still stood up and walked towards the pregnant woman.

She didn't like to stir up trouble, but she felt sorry for the women who went through so much hardship in pregnancy. This woman looked like she was already in her seventh or eighth month of pregnancy and was about to give birth.

It would be so sad if you had a miscarriage because of a medication.

"Sister, there is something wrong with your prescription. It may cause miscarriage. I will write you a new one. If you don't believe me, you can go out and find a doctor to check it out."

When the pregnant woman saw a person covered in veils walking towards her, she took two steps back warily.

"From your voice, you sound like a little girl. How dare you question Mingyue Island? Do you want to see the prescription Mingyue Island wrote for me?"

The prescription from Mingyue Island is worth a fortune, so it is normal for the pregnant woman to think so.

Xie Ling sighed. That was all she had to say. If you didn’t believe her, forget it.

But the pregnant woman refused to give in and pulled Xie Ling's hand and walked forward.

The woman's hands were very strong, and if Xie Ling tried to break free, she would definitely hurt her. She could only be dragged by her to the doctor.

She pointed at Xie Ling and shouted, "Living God, how dare a little girl here question the prescription you gave me!"

The female doctor was already irritated by the sight of so many people. When she heard what the pregnant woman said, she rolled her eyes and sneered mercilessly: "This was compiled by my uncle Jiang Yunzi himself. How could this clown come here to make people laugh at him?"

Xie Ling said calmly, "Pinellia is pungent and hot. Using a little will not harm the fetus, but using too much will hurt the fetus. In the prescription you gave me, there are as many as three grams of Pinellia, which will definitely hurt the fetus."

The female doctor raised her eyebrows in disdain. "I am a disciple of Mingyue Island. I have been learning how to identify and dispense medicine since I was born. You, a little girl, have learned some knowledge about three-clawed cats, and you are showing off in front of me. You know that it is very expensive to see a doctor in Mingyue Island. If you delay for a moment, there will be a person who cannot see a doctor behind you."

The people behind all glared at Xie Ling and pointed at her.

"You little girl, stop talking and don't waste our time."

"Who dares to show off in front of Guan Gong?"

There was even a man in gray who rushed over and tried to pull Xie Ling away.

But before he could touch Xie Ling, a bony hand grabbed his shoulder blade fiercely. He screamed and half-knelt down.

It was the masked man in black who had just sat next to Xie Ling.

He glanced at the man in gray lightly.

Then, he turned his cold eyes to the female doctor and said in a calm voice: "A slight mistake in the prescription can lead to a huge mistake. As a doctor, when you hear doubts, you don't reflect on yourself first, but lead the surrounding people to scold this girl. Is this the medical style of Mingyue Island?"

The female doctor's face flushed with anger. "As a disciple of the island master of Mingyue Island, how could I have made a mistake in the prescription? There is nothing wrong with three grams of Pinellia ternata."

"There is something wrong with three grams of Pinellia ternata."

An old and profound voice sounded in the lobby.

Xie Ling looked over and saw an old man in a white Taoist robe with white hair and a youthful face walking out of the inner hall.

The moment he appeared, all the disciples in Xifeng Tower seemed to have sensed it and saluted in his direction.

Including the domineering female doctor just now.

The old man walked briskly and arrived in front of Xie Ling in the blink of an eye.

He bowed to Xie Ling and asked, "Who is your master?"

Xie Ling quickly returned the greeting, "I don't deserve to be called Your Excellency. I have no teacher and I have learned everything by myself."

When the old man heard that Xie Ling had no master, his eyes lit up.

When he turned his gaze to the female doctor, he became calm again, "Miaoyin, recite the Xiangsha Liujunzi Decoction to me again."

Miaoyin bit her lips and didn't say a word for a long time.

The old man called a male disciple next to him and said, "Shanling, recite the Xiangsha Liujunzi Decoction to your senior sister."

The young man named Shan Ling was called by the old man. His face flushed with excitement. He recited while shaking his head, "One qian of ginseng, two qian of white atractylodes... one qian of pinellia."

Miaoyin's face turned pale, but her eyes were still stubborn, "Junior brother, you didn't recite it wrong, did you?"

Shan Ling stiffened his neck and said, "Impossible!"

The old man stroked his beard and said sternly, "If I hadn't shown up in time today, a life would have been lost because of you! Pinellia is pungent and hot, how could you use three grams? Even from a pharmacological point of view, it can't be wrong."

Miaoyin still didn't think she was wrong. She stared at the mountain with her almond-shaped eyes, "Junior brother, you are closest to me, why didn't you tell me? You made me a laughing stock for nothing!"

Shan Ling was about to argue, but was stopped by the old man, "When a doctor is treating a patient, of course he is fully committed. How can he have the mind to listen to other things? Go back and copy the Compendium of Materia Medica 500 times and give it to the island owner."

Miaoyin was so angry that her eyes became wet, and she turned around and ran out.

Shan Ling rolled his eyes. "She was told not to come but she insisted on coming. She almost ruined the reputation of our Mingyue Island."

The old man waved his hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense here. Go back and continue the consultation."

The pregnant woman nearby was so scared after hearing the whole process that she threw the prescription in her hand away.

She shamelessly grabbed Xie Ling's sleeve and said, "Miss, can you give me another one? Was it me who didn't recognize the real talent just now?"

Xie Ling looked calm and shook her head.

"It's a favor to help you, not an obligation. The fuss you just made has ruined all my sympathy for you."

The pregnant woman was in tears and sat on the ground crying.

Xie Ling remained indifferent.

The old man looked at Xie Ling's actions with an admiring look in his eyes, "I don't know where the young lady has been from, and where she is going, I have an unwelcome request."

Knowing that it was an unreasonable request, what else could you say? Xie Ling thought to herself.

But thinking that the old man was quite upright, he gave him a way out, "Oh? What's the matter?"

The old man's eyes lit up, "Inherit my mantle!"

Xie Ling's eyes widened, and she and the man in black behind her all looked shocked.

They both said in unison: "No."
