At the end of the test report, Bai Ze concluded that it was unusable and that forcibly collecting it would be useless. It would be faster to convert it himself. In the future, perhaps in a few thousand or tens of thousands of years, there might be a spiritual revival or something, but Jiang Yue would not live to see that.
After leaving the Wizard's Tower, Jiang Yue sent out a puppet to collect Buddhist and Taoist scriptures and other such things. According to the descriptions in the novel, there might be some true magic somewhere there. She also took out the Star Finder to see if there were any hidden paradises or blessed lands.
This isn't something that can be resolved quickly, and besides, it's not even certain if it will happen at all. It was just Jiang Yue overthinking things anyway. She should focus on the present. After the Qingming Festival, some trouble arose at the academy. It turned out that they had only sent their good-for-nothing son to the academy to study in the first place, and now that they see the academy is teaching well, they want to replace him.
When this happened, Jiang Yue and Sun Zhenren were out treating other people. They heard that the parents were scolded by the academy's dean. It's a pity they didn't get to see the show. Sigh, they can't gloat or gossip. They should punish themselves by copying the scriptures a few times.
As spring was drawing to a close, the Tang emperor revealed his true colors. The Tang Dynasty was about to wage war against Jieli, mobilizing a full 200,000 troops. Jiang Yue knew that the Tang Dynasty, which would unify the world, was about to arrive. This was his first battle on the road to unification. The protagonist would participate in this battle, but he wouldn't be involved in the early stages. He would only go there later to find Cheng Yaojin's son.
War doesn't have much impact on ordinary people, at least not yet. It's only just begun and the fighting hasn't even started. It's only when the war drags on for many years that it will affect the people. In that case, taxes will definitely be increased to collect provisions. Historically, this war was won, and with the main characters involved, it will probably end even faster.
While the protagonist was busy, and the academy also had great scholars from Shu coming to Chang'an for academic exchanges, Jiang Yue was not idle either. She had not yet fully digested the knowledge from the previous world, so she went to the Wizard Tower to study whenever she had a spare moment. During this time, she also received a fellow Daoist who stayed at the Daoist temple for a short stay. The two of them chatted for a few days before the fellow Daoist left.
The days that followed were the peaceful and uneventful days that Jiang Yue liked. It was even quieter after the protagonist went to the front lines. Of course, it would be even better if the protagonist's grandmother could come less often. After the protagonist left, the family would come to pay their respects every few days. The only male in the family had gone to the battlefield without having any offspring. No wonder everyone was worried about him. They had only been enjoying their good days for a few days.
Although the protagonist won't be in any trouble this time, considering the old lady's generous spending and Jiang Yue's admiration for this person, Jiang Yue took out a peace talisman from her spatial storage. This talisman doesn't have the characteristic of turning to ash after warding off disaster, but it does have some effect.
One problem after another arose. It was bad enough that the old lady came to the Taoist temple every day, but then Empress Zhangsun's illness relapsed. This originally had nothing to do with Jiang Yue, but when Li Shimin came to the academy to invite Sun Simiao, the Taoist master happened to be at the Taoist temple. When the people in the palace saw this, they took Jiang Yue with them.
It just so happens that the taboo against men and women touching each other makes it difficult for Master Sun to act, but with Jiang Yue around, things will be much easier. On the way, Master Sun apologized to Jiang Yue, gave her some instructions, and then asked her if she wanted to see the Empress. If not, he could do it himself, because treating the Empress was quite risky.
"We'll see how things go then; maybe we won't even need my help."
Although the matter was urgent, it still took a lot of effort to see the emperor. At the very least, they had to check whether the two of them were carrying any weapons or poison. This was after many procedures were shortened due to the urgency of the matter. After seeing the emperor, they bowed. This was not an important occasion and there was no need to kneel. Otherwise, Jiang Yue would not have come.
"Master Sun! Quickly, take a look at how my Empress is doing!"
When Sun Simiao took the Empress's pulse, it was done behind a gauze curtain, and something was placed on the ground while he took her pulse. After taking her pulse, Sun Simiao pondered for a moment and said to Li Shimin, "Just continue with the previous prescription."
While the medicine was being brewed, everyone remained silent. They were all quite curious about Jiang Yue, this stranger. However, some observant people noticed that someone soon whispered something in Li Shimin's ear. Jiang Yue had good hearing and knew that what he was saying was about herself. Jiang Yue wasn't particularly curious, after all, how could a stranger hide anything from her when he came to her home?
After listening, Li Shimin didn't say anything, nor did he ask Jiang Yue to take a look. Jiang Yue didn't care and just drank her tea. After drinking the medicine, the Empress's condition improved a lot. After her condition improved, the two of them were not allowed to leave the palace because the Emperor was worried and kept them for observation for a period of time.
Jiang Yue finally came out of the palace on the morning of the third day. Because the Empress's condition was fluctuating and Sun Zhenren couldn't leave for a while, he asked the Emperor to send Jiang Yue out. The Emperor never asked Jiang Yue to take any action, but this was quite normal. Doctors, especially traditional Chinese medicine doctors, or even Western medicine doctors, only give people peace of mind when they see an old doctor or professor. It would be strange if people could feel at Jiang Yue's age.
After returning to the Taoist temple, Jiang Yue cooked a few dishes and ate a good night's sleep, thinking that her troubles were over. However, she couldn't escape it in the end. After Jiang Yue left, Li Shimin suddenly brought up Jiang Yue. It was estimated that he had investigated Jiang Yue over the past three days. Master Sun had simply told the truth about Jiang Yue's situation, but he shouldn't have added at the end, "Her medical skills are no less than mine."
This one sentence caused trouble for Jiang Yue. Because the Empress needed to recuperate, she arranged for someone to stay with Jiang Yue. Originally, she was supposed to stay at the academy, but the academy was under construction and was always shrouded in smoke. Fortunately, the Taoist temple was quiet and had good air quality. In addition, Jiang Yue's medical skills were guaranteed by Master Sun. So, while Jiang Yue was still basking in the sun with her cat, Empress Zhangsun and Li Shimin quietly came up the mountain.
Jiang Yue was startled when she saw the person. This person really wasn't afraid that Jiang Yue was a bad person. He left the Empress at the Taoist temple and then left. Of course, there were still many guards in secret. Jiang Yue had no choice but to treat this hot potato well and also take care of the person's health.
After taking her pulse, Jiang Yue felt it was quite troublesome. She had quite a few ailments, and this illness was quite challenging for her. If she were a native, but unfortunately she wasn't. After devising a treatment plan, she showed it to Master Sun, and the two discussed it and finalized the treatment plan.
There was nothing Sun Zhenren could do before. He could only give Empress Zhangsun acupuncture, but the saying "men and women should not touch each other" was not just a joke. It was already quite good that he could control Empress Zhangsun's condition to this extent. With Jiang Yue, it was like adding wings to a tiger. After adjusting the prescription, Jiang Yue added acupuncture and massage as treatment methods.
