"Never mind all that, little girl. Since you understand medicine and know about the Snow Flower, let me ask you, this Snow Flower can clearly cure my tuberculosis, so why does it always relapse within a month of taking it?"
Xuezhenhua is indeed the best medicinal herb for treating tuberculosis, and it is the kind that cures the disease immediately.
She glanced at the old man. No wonder he was so energetic despite having such serious tuberculosis. It turned out that he had eaten the Xuezhen flower.
"Grandpa, how do you eat this snow flower?"
The old man grabbed the snow flower with his skinny hands and gestured towards his mouth: "That's how you eat it."
Jiang Yao: "."
It's like a cow chewing a peony. No wonder he can't get better.
"Isn't that right?"
"Of course that's not right. This Snow Flower has not been processed, and the stamens are poisonous."
The old man looked at her suspiciously and said, "Little girl, you are not going to lie to me, are you?"
Jiang Yao was too lazy to explain: "Grandpa, it was you who asked me to come here, it was you who asked me to take a look, and now it's you who doesn't believe me. You might as well let me go."
But she also tried to excite the old man. After seeing the Xuezhen flower, she really couldn't walk.
The old man seemed to be thinking, but not for too long.
"Okay, I'll leave this Snow Flower to you. Please help me make an antidote."
The old man smiled in a somewhat ingratiating way.
"I'm going to make you an antidote..."
Jiang Yao also pretended to consider it.
Seeing her considering it, the old man suddenly became anxious: "Well, if you help me make an antidote, I will give you a big gift."
Big gift?
Jiang Yao's eyes lit up. Although the Snow Flower was precious, it was not difficult to cultivate. Moreover, one seed could be used to grow more than ten plants. It would be nice if the old man gave her one to play with.
He pretended to think for a while, then said with great embarrassment: "Okay, a doctor's heart is kind, I will make you an antidote for free today."
The Xuezhen flower has grown, and although it takes a long time to make the antidote, Jiang Yao has already made the antidote by the evening.
"Grandpa, I have prepared the antidote for you." Jiang Yao handed over the medicine.
The old man watched her while she was making medicine, without any questioning or interruption.
This shows that although this old man is weird, he has good character.
"The gift you promised me..."
Jiang Yao stretched out his hand towards the old man.
The old man glanced at her and said, "That's not how I give my great gifts."
"What is that?"
The old man put away the medicine, and with a sly look in his eyes, he said, "Didn't I tell you before? I see that you have amazing bones and are a good material for martial arts training."
Jiang Yao felt a chill down his spine and had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"I, an old man, have never done anything remarkable in my life, but my martial arts skills are beyond reproach. I can say that there is no one in this world who can rival me."
"so what?"
But what does this have to do with her?
The old man was serious, stroking his white beard: "So I have decided to take you as my apprentice."
Jiang Yao: "...?"
Can such a thing be decided unilaterally?
"Little girl, come, kneel down and call me Master."
The old man had already brought a stool and sat down, acting like he was the boss: "No need to offer tea, just kowtow to me, and our master-disciple relationship will officially begin."
Jiang Yao's mouth twitched violently: "I don't want to become your disciple."
The tone is crisp and the speech is decisive.
The old man didn't seem to take her refusal seriously and stood up. "It's okay if you don't kneel. There are no witnesses. Just start by calling me Master."
Jiang Yao exhaled, his tone very serious: "I think you didn't understand what I said. I don't want to become your disciple."
Each word was pronounced very clearly, and the rejection was obvious.
"Little girl, do you not want to become my disciple, or do you not want to learn martial arts?"
"Neither."
Not taking a master is the ancestral precept of the Jiang family. The Jiang family values self-study.
Jiang Yao didn't learn martial arts because she couldn't bear the hardship of learning martial arts, and martial arts were not needed in modern times. Besides, she was a doctor and a poison doctor, so why should she learn martial arts?
"You don't want to do anything?" The old man's eyes turned and he whispered, "This is difficult."
"Grandpa, I'm really anxious to leave, please let me go."
The old man didn't respond to Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao quietly walked out of the room, turned around and started running.
Even if she wanted to learn martial arts one day, she would find a top master like Langqi to learn from. At least Langqi is a normal person. This old man doesn't look normal. What if he teaches her evil skills?
This place is too weird. Jiang Yao doesn’t even want the Xuezhen flower seeds anymore. He just wants to leave here.
I looked back halfway through the run, fortunately the old man behind me didn't catch up with me.
Jiang Yao turned around and was shocked: "Oh my dear mother!"
He didn't have time to retract his steps and fell to the ground.
An invisible force lifted her up, and the next moment she was standing steadily in place.
If Jiang Yao hadn't experienced it himself, he would have thought he was dreaming. How could such a gravity-defying thing happen in reality?
Thinking back to the Black and White Impermanence she had seen at the beginning, she suddenly felt that although everything before her eyes was strange, it was normal in this strange world.
So this weird old man knows martial arts? And the weirdest kind?
The old man stroked his white beard and said, "Little girl, it is very rude to leave without saying goodbye."
He looked so proud, as if if he showed his strength, Jiang Yao would burst into tears and insist on becoming his disciple.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t Jiang Yao.
"I'm being polite, so you'll let me go?"
The old man choked, and the hand that was stroking his white beard froze.
"You still don't want to become my disciple?"
"My family motto is not to take anyone as your teacher."
Old man: “.”
"Ahem, it seems I need to show you my martial arts skills again before you will believe that I can be your master."
Jiang Yao: "Grandpa, that's not necessary."
"Little girl, watch this."
After the old man finished speaking, a ball of white mist flew out of his hand, and the mist fell to the ground and turned into a soft and cute puppy.
The puppy walked over, wagging its tail.
Jiang Yao's eyes widened. Isn't this a magic trick?
She wiped her eyes and the puppy was still there.
"Grandpa, how did you do this?"
As soon as Jiang Yao finished speaking, the puppy came over and licked her feet.
Then she felt unwell all over, and the places where the clouds and mist touched felt as painful as if they were pricked by needles.
"What the hell is this?"
"Vicious dog!" The old man stroked his beard and laughed, "Little girl, why don't you run away quickly?"
It stung when she was licked, and if she was bitten, her entire flesh would probably rot, right?
Jiang Yao shuddered all over, picked up her skirt and started running: "Old man, you are too cruel. I made medicine for you after all. Is it necessary to treat me like this?"
The old man sat leisurely on the grass and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Little girl, whenever you call me Master, this vicious dog will stop."
