Chapter 32: The complete version of "Baicao Jing", make a choice! 【Seeking follow-up reading】
Pu Xingxian announced the news publicly.
It exploded like a blockbuster bomb and spread throughout the pharmacy at an extremely fast speed.
Many servants, apprentices, managers, and old pharmacist's eyes turned from envy to awe towards Wei Han. They could only look up to this 14-year-old boy.
Wei Han also officially took off his green apprentice uniform.
He changed into an elegant moon-white robe, looking handsome and steady.
"Wei Han, you feel pressure to become a formal doctor so soon?"
In Pu Xingxian's private room, the master and the disciple sat opposite each other!
Wei Han smiled as he made tea seriously, "With the help of Master and Senior Brother, I am confident that I can treat common patients and will not bring disgrace to the reputation of my sect."
"Hmm!" Pu Xingxian drank a sip of tea with satisfaction and said, "In fact, promoting you to a formal physician was a sudden decision. I never expected that your medical skills were so solid. I just wanted to test you and then teach you the "Hundred Herbal Classics", but..."
The amazement in Pu Xingxian's eyes seemed to indicate that he was still a little unsatisfied.
Wei Han laughed in silence and said modestly, "Master, you are too kind."
"I'm not praising you too much. You are the most gifted doctor I have ever seen. I believe you will surpass me in the future." Pu Xingxian walked solemnly to the center of the room, lit a stick of incense towards an ancient portrait, and then took out a thick box.
When the box that had been sealed for a long time was opened, it turned out to be a medical book thicker than a dictionary!
"There is a holy place of medicine in Pingzhou Prefecture called Baiyao Valley. When I was young, I worked as a medicine boy in the valley. I learned my medical skills through hard work and practice."
"Although this book, Hundred Herbs Classic, is only an ordinary medical book in the Hundred Medicine Valley, it is no less than a treasure to the outside world. Therefore, I have never passed it on to others over the years!"
"Your eldest brother and the second brother who passed away only passed on the first half. Do you know why?"
While Pu Xingxian was explaining seriously, he handed the complete copy of "Classic of Materia Medica" to Wei Han. The heavy weight of the book made him feel heavy in his heart.
"I don't know, please enlighten me, Master." Wei Han said respectfully.
"Because they lack talent and character!" Pu Xingxian explained seriously: "The first half of this book records all the medicinal materials in the world. It covers all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases. Once you learn it, you can become a famous doctor in the world."
"The lower part records tens of millions of poisons, as well as various methods of making, using, and detoxifying poisons. Once someone with bad intentions or incompetent talents learns them, they will definitely harm the people."
"Since ancient times, doctors have been proficient in both medicine and poison. They use medicine to save people and poison to protect themselves. Only when you have mastered both the first and second parts can you be called a traditional Chinese doctor."
"You have outstanding talents and excellent character. Your teacher cannot bear to delay you, so I will pass down the entire "Hundred Herbal Classics" to you. I hope you will keep your original intention and do not do evil!"
Wei Han was slightly moved when he heard this!
The value of this book was absolutely beyond his imagination.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master. I will live up to your expectations." Wei Han bowed.
"Hahaha!" Pu Xingxian supported him with satisfaction, then laughed, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, just let everything take its course. Youth is your capital, so take your time!"
"Yes!" Wei Han responded, and couldn't help asking, "Since Master said that the Hundred Herbal Classics is so powerful, but he also said that it is just an ordinary book in the Hundred Herbal Valley, how powerful is this Hundred Herbal Valley?"
“I don’t know!”
Pu Xingxian shook his head with a complicated expression.
After a long silence, he said, "Don't think that your master is very powerful in this small county. In fact, I am nothing in Baiyao Valley. At most, I am just an unqualified medicine boy who was expelled from the valley. It is said that Baiyao Valley was founded by immortals. There are many secrets that are not passed on, and outsiders know very little about it."
"Immortal?"
A hint of anticipation flashed through Wei Han's heart.
The so-called immortals should just be cultivators, right?
It is even unknown whether the cultivators in Baiyao Valley are still alive.
But it’s always good to have a thought. When I’m strong enough in the future, I will definitely go to Baiyao Valley to see the immortals.
"There is one more thing." Pu Xingxian changed the subject and said seriously: "You are now an official doctor in the pharmacy. According to the rules, you'd better make a choice."
"Choice?" Wei Han was surprised.
"Yes!" Pu Xingxian explained helplessly: "Do you remember what I told you? People in the world are not free to do what they want. There are many factions in this small pharmacy. I, your master, belong to the lineage of Miss Chen. Miss Chen has heard of your name and is very interested in you. Are you willing to join this lineage?"
"Are there still these troubles?" Wei Han frowned unhappily: "I just want to treat illnesses and save lives honestly, I don't have any other ideas. If it really comes down to it, I just want to be considered as a descendant of the master."
Pu Xingxian burst into laughter when he heard this.
He was not surprised by this. After all, Wei Han's personality was indeed not one that liked to meddle in other people's business, and he even less liked to get involved in factional struggles.
But he happened to be Pu Xingxian's disciple, so he was naturally branded with this mark.
Therefore, it is only natural that Wei Han would at most admit that he is a descendant of Pu Xingxian, but would not admit that he is a descendant of the eldest lady.
"You, don't be too resistant." Pu Xingxian explained with a smile: "Miss Chen doesn't want you to do anything. She just thinks you have good talent and excellent character, so she wants to find a matchmaker for you. The Chen family is large and powerful, with many daughters waiting to be married. There is a daughter named Miaoyun, who is 16 years old. Although she is two years older than you, she is gentle and virtuous. You..."
Pu Xingxian talked on and on.
Wei Han couldn't help but feel both amused and helpless.
Isn’t this the routine of winning over through marriage?
So he has unknowingly grown to the point where he is worthy of being won over?
No wonder people said before that there were relatives and friends in the pharmacy. It turns out that the Chen family has always had a tradition of marrying off daughters to win over key figures. No wonder they suddenly talked about this.
But an immortal like Wei Han is not suitable for marriage!
"Master, I'm only 14 years old, and my parents and relatives were killed and separated after the disaster. It doesn't seem appropriate for me to get married now. I'm not in the mood to think about romance." Wei Han refused tactfully.
"Don't be so quick to refuse!" Pu Xingxian advised patiently, "The girl may not be interested in you, so just give me some face and go out and make friends. If you two don't like each other, the young lady and I won't say anything more."
"If you two are attracted to each other, you don't have to get married right away. It's okay to get to know each other for a year or two before considering getting engaged!"
"All right!"
Wei Han agreed reluctantly.
Pu Xingxian was very kind to him and just wanted to introduce a blind date to him.
In this life where he has no father or mother, his master is his father, so it would be bad for him to continue to refuse.
"When?" Wei Han asked.
"Tomorrow!" Pu Xingxian reminded: "Tomorrow morning you will go to the banquet at Wangjiang Tower. Wear better clothes and don't embarrass yourself."
"Okay, don't worry, Master!"
Wei Han waved his hand indifferently, then turned and left.
At the same time, he flipped through the "Classic of Materia Medica" at the fastest speed. After a full stick of incense, the system finally collected all the information in this thick book and entered the third idle position.
【bite! The proficiency level of "Baicao Jing" is: entry-level 1/10000. It is currently in normal idle mode, and the proficiency level can increase by 1 point per hour. 】
[Note: Spending money or taking refreshing herbs can increase the idle multiplier! 】
"Ten thousand?"
Wei Han was a little dumbfounded.
He never expected that the starting proficiency of "Hundred Herbs" was ten times higher than that of other skills!
