After giving Xu Xian his instructions, Shang Shaoyan completely stopped dealing with the glass business.
During this period, she often sent some rheumatism prevention plasters to Chen Shu and Li Xuan to maintain her presence in front of the two of them.
On this day, Xu Xian approached Shang Shaoyan, who was painting a picture of Qiao Xiuyu.
Xu Xian dared not look at what Shang Shaoyan was drawing, but simply cupped his hands and said, "Princess, the divine physician replied yesterday, asking you to go to Qingcheng Mountain to see him in three days, and we can discuss the details then."
Shang Shaoyan paused slightly, not surprised by the arrogance of this divine doctor. After all, in the legends of Southern Chen, this divine doctor could cure all diseases. Shang Shaoyan did not believe it at first, but after hearing Yan Xuening say that the divine doctor had cured Cheng Shi's infertility, she was born.
Regardless, even the imperial physicians couldn't cure Shang Yunlan's heart ailment, so for now, they had no choice but to try anything and see her first.
With a change of heart, Shang Shaoyan asked, "Does that divine doctor have any taboos?"
Xu Xian knew Shang Shaoyan's concerns—throughout history, people with real talent and learning have all had some quirks, so it was normal for Shang Shaoyan to have such thoughts.
"The divine physician has three rules. First, he will not treat those who are not sincere; second, he will not treat those who are utterly wicked; and third, he will not treat those over seventy years of age," Xu Xian said unhurriedly. "However, that's all he says. The divine physician's treatments mostly depend on his mood. If he's in a good mood, he's not without breaking his own rules; if he's in a bad mood, he's even refused treatment from the Empress Dowager. Most importantly, every person seeking treatment must present him with something that moves him, otherwise he won't even get to see him."
The divine physician lived on Mount Qingcheng and had set up some Qimen Dunjia techniques around his residence. Ordinary people would not be able to see him without guidance.
Shang Shaoyan slightly bent his index finger and tapped the table absently. He had a general idea of what was going on, and asked, "Why did the divine doctor agree to see me? I don't remember having anything that could move the divine doctor."
Xu Xian smiled slightly: "I really don't know the specifics. Everything should be clear in three days. There's just one more thing: it's almost impossible for the divine physician to leave Shu Prefecture to save people, so the county princess should be prepared to be rejected."
Shang Shaoyan smiled and thanked him, "Thanks to Lord Xu's recommendation, there's always a glimmer of hope, which is better than no hope at all, isn't it?"
...
Three days later, Shang Shaoyan got up early for once, leaving home around 6 a.m. Bai Lu and Cheng Chu followed behind her. The group first rode horses and arrived at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain around 9 a.m., and then began to hike up the mountain.
Although it was already January, it was still snowing on the mountain. Climbing the mountain was not an easy task. One slip could easily lead to a fall and injury. Unlike the 21st century, there were no flat cement roads. So, in no time, the three of them had shoes covered with ice, snow and mud, and their feet were extremely cold.
The divine doctor lived halfway up the mountain. Following the method given by Xu Xian, Shang Shaoyan and his two companions passed through the Bagua Formation. An hour later, they finally saw a unique little courtyard halfway up the mountain in the distance. By then, the three of them no longer felt cold and were covered in sweat.
Shang Shaoyan's martial arts skills are maxed out, so he's not too tired yet. Looking at the other two, even Cheng Chu is panting, and Bai Lu almost fainted.
Shang Shaoyan helped Bai Lu up: "Go back and practice your kung fu with General Cheng. You'll be dealing with this kind of thing a lot in the future."
