Chapter 571 Slap in the Face, Gathering of Top Families [1 Update]
Everyone turned around.
The head of the Fu family did not come; instead, one of Fu Chen's uncles did.
When he looked over there, his eyes widened instantly, and his legs began to tremble.
Fu Xi didn't wear a mask or anything like that; her face was exposed to everyone's view.
However, no one else had ever seen Fu Xi.
Fu Chen's uncle had only ever seen a portrait of him.
The impact of seeing a real person in front of you is too great.
The next second, he suddenly knelt down on the ground.
Fu Chen spotted the girl immediately, and he instinctively opened his mouth: "Master—"
Ying Zijin glanced at him.
Fu Chen swallowed the title in time.
The others did not know Fu Xi, but they knew Fu Chen.
The deputy alliance leader spoke up: "Young Master Fu Chen, who is this gentleman?"
"Ancestor, Ancestor." Fu Chen's uncle finally caught his breath and spoke tremblingly, "Ancestor, why, why did you come?"
I wish I hadn't come to the meeting; he already has a heart condition.
He was quite frightened.
"Of course I'm here regarding the Evil Doctor." Fu Xi glanced at it indifferently. "And that's a corpse?"
The entire hall was silent.
Everyone was shocked.
The ancestor of the Fu family?
Wasn't Fu Xi, the founder of the Fu family, the ancestor of the Fu family?!
The Dream Master's expression changed instantly.
The ancestors of the Meng family did not live as long as Fu Xi; the one who founded the family had long since died.
In this respect, the Meng family is no match for the Fu family.
"Senior Fu Xi, it's not that we didn't invite you, it's just that such a trivial matter shouldn't bother you." The vice leader wiped away his sweat. "You've always lived in seclusion, how could you have time to concern yourself with such trivial matters?"
Fu Xi simply said, "I will personally examine the body."
No one dared to make a move.
The ancient physician in charge of the autopsy trembled as he handed over the sterilized silver needles.
A minute later, Fu Xi put down the silver needles and said calmly, "The pill he took was supposed to detoxify him, but his emotions were too volatile, and he didn't have time to control the drug's effects. In addition, his internal energy was disordered, and his heart meridian burst."
Master Li: "..."
He was right; he got so excited he died.
Bizarre ways to die.
Fu Xi sighed softly.
Master is still Master.
The head of the Xu family did indeed die from a ruptured heart meridian, and the medicine was indeed restorative.
However, if even a small amount of one of the medicinal herbs is used, the desired effect cannot be achieved.
The Fourth Elder's expression froze: "Is it really a tonic?"
"Evil doctors must be eradicated from the ancient medical community, but you cannot slander anyone." Fu Xi's voice turned cold. "By labeling all the geniuses of the ancient medical community as evil doctors, aren't you courting your own destruction?"
The head of the Meng family blushed and had no choice but to lower his head: "Senior is right."
Fu Xi said coldly, "Since she's not an evil doctor, apologize to her now."
Once Fu Xi spoke up, no one else could sit still.
Everyone, including the head of the Meng family, apologized to Ying Zijing.
The head of the Meng family took a deep breath, feeling as if he couldn't hold his breath any longer.
Who would have thought that Fu Xi would suddenly interfere?
After Fu Xi apologized to these people, she left.
The hall quickly emptied out.
Only the Fourth Elder remained seated, muttering, "Not the Evil Doctor, gone again, hahaha, gone again!"
After laughing wildly, he became dazed again, sitting on the stone steps, staring blankly at the sky.
The light in his eyes gradually faded.
Fu Chen asked in surprise, "What's wrong with him? Has he gone mad?"
"No, he's not crazy, he just suffered too much." Master Li waved his hand. "You don't know, his family was all harmed by the evil doctor, and the remains they found in the end were all incomplete."
Ying Zijing narrowed her eyes slightly: "Were you captured and forced to refine medicine?"
The only evil doctor she had ever encountered was Shi Fengyi.
Shi Fengyi likes to concoct medicines that affect people's nerves.
But there are more than one type of quack doctor.
“Who knows? Because we can’t find out.” Master Li sighed and said, “That was a long time ago, twenty years ago. He had just been promoted to elder and had real power. He was preparing to bring his son and daughter-in-law from their hometown.”
"His daughter-in-law gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. His grandson and granddaughter were three years old that year. They were quite talented and could already identify medicinal herbs."
Master Li continued, "Miss Ying, you know that the Pill Alliance has been established for 223 years, and it is not easy to be promoted to elder."
Yingying Zijin nodded: "Yes, I know."
Elders of the Dan Alliance must be level seven members, but level seven members are not necessarily able to become elders.
There are many tests to pass in order to be promoted to elder.
However, becoming an elder of the Dan Alliance means having a stable position in the ancient medical community.
“The ancient medical community is different from the ancient martial arts community. They cannot kill each other. After all, most ancient doctors are physically weak. If they are physically strong, they are just ordinary people. At most, they have self-defense skills. So the ancient medical community is relatively safer.” Hall Master Li said again, “Their home is not far from the Dan Alliance headquarters, only half a day’s journey. Who knew that such a cruel thing would happen on the way?”
When the Fourth Elder realized something was wrong, he rushed over, only to find that no one was home.
The remains were not found until a month later.
The scene was horrific.
Those evil doctors were so cruel that they didn't even spare children.
The Fourth Elder broke down immediately.
He searched for twenty years but still couldn't find the murderer.
“He has been tracking down the whereabouts of the Evil Doctor all these years,” Master Li shook his head. “He is unwilling to let go of even the slightest trace. He previously thought that you were the Evil Doctor and only wanted to find the entire Evil Doctor’s faction through you.”
Ying Zijin said calmly, "It's human nature, I can understand."
“Miss Ying, you shouldn’t have known about the existence of the Evil Doctor, as it inevitably caused panic.” Hall Master Li’s expression turned serious. “But now that you know, you must be extra careful. A genius like you is also a prime target for the Evil Doctor to hunt down.”
Ying Zijin frowned slightly.
She is now certain that the imposter First Poison Master that Rita Bevan found back then was the Evil Doctor.
The Fourth Elder walked in at this moment, his eyes still red: "Miss Ying, I was very rude earlier. I heard from this young man that you need more medicinal herbs, so I'll give you all of my share, anyway..."
He doesn't need it anymore.
“No need, I don’t need those.” Ying Zijin looked up and glanced at him. “Your emotions are not going well, and your anger is turning into rage, which is damaging your liver. If you have time, take some medicine to relieve your depression.”
The Fourth Elder was taken aback: "Miss Ying, you..."
Ying Zijing took a sip of tea: "I can read faces a little."
"Oh, oh." The Fourth Elder nodded. "No wonder."
Ancient Chinese medicine practitioners used the four diagnostic methods of observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation, and they would generally look at facial features to some extent.
This is different from face reading and fortune telling.
By observing a patient's facial features, they can determine exactly where the illness is located.
After all, many symptoms can be seen on the face, even if it's just an extra pimple on the chin.
**
On the other side.
Dream Home.
After hearing what happened at the meeting, Meng Qingxue was stunned: "The ancestor of the Fu family? She is Senior Fu Xi's disciple?"
Otherwise, why would Fu Xi have made a special trip out?
Meng Qingxue clenched her fingers.
If she is Fu Xi's disciple, no one of her age can compare to Ying Zijin.
Even Fu Chen's seniority was greatly diminished.
The head of the Meng family laughed immediately: "Qingxue, you're overthinking it. Who is the Fu family's ancestor? She has been living in seclusion for many years. Only Fu Chen received her guidance."
"How old is Ying Zijin? She's almost nineteen. She's just a distant relative of the Ye family, a small ancient martial arts family. She has no connection whatsoever with the Fu family."
Meng Qingxue frowned: "But—"
"The reason why the Fu family patriarch came out today is simply because she happened to hear about the evil doctor from Fu Chen." The Meng family head shook his head. "Everyone knows how much the Fu family patriarch hates the evil doctor. After all, one of her disciples died at the hands of the evil doctor."
"Didn't Fu Xi also appear last time when the Ling family of ancient martial arts sent that evil doctor to the Fu family?"
"In addition, Ying Zijin is indeed extremely talented in alchemy. Although the Fu family patriarch hates evil doctors, he cannot stand by and watch an alchemy genius be slandered as an evil doctor. She is kind and just passing by. Don't overthink it."
Meng Qingxue's heart relaxed slightly.
“But from today onwards, her status in the world of ancient medicine is basically set,” the Meng family head said. “Although she can’t compare to Qingxue or Fuchen, she can certainly squeeze into this top circle.”
As the head of the Meng family was speaking, he suddenly realized something that had happened during the meeting and froze in shock.
This Ying Zijin seems to know acupuncture?
Otherwise, how would he know about autopsies?
His expression changed, and his gaze darkened.
**
Before the New Year, there is a winter hunt in the ancient medical community.
Only the three top aristocratic families, as well as the core members of the Heavenly Medicine Sect and the Pill Alliance, will be invited.
At the same time that Ying Zijing received the invitation, she also received a WeChat message from Fu Chen.
[Slacking off and sleeping]: Master, have I also sent you an invitation? Are you coming?
[Sleeping and Sleeping]: If you come, I'll go too. Sleeping in the hunting grounds isn't a bad thing. Grandmaster, you're amazing! Even when I'm sleeping, my internal energy can still increase!
This was a godsend for Fu Chen.
Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow.
Although she brought ancient martial arts to Earth, China already had kung fu and martial arts before ancient martial arts, and light-footed acupoint striking also existed.
However, this kind of martial arts cannot develop the human body's potential, so it cannot extend lifespan or give people speed and strength beyond that of ordinary people.
Ancient martial arts were created by her combining cultivation methods from the spiritual cultivation world with the actual conditions on Earth, as well as ancient kung fu and martial arts.
This method of cultivating internal strength while sleeping was something she learned from her best friend, but she rewrote it into an ancient martial arts manual.
[Ying Zijin]: Go ahead, have some fun.
In the capital city, land is incredibly valuable, and there isn't a large enough area to run horses.
Fu Yunshen picked up the invitation card on the table and raised an eyebrow: "You like horses?"
"It's alright." Ying Zijing thought for a moment, "As long as I'm not riding it myself."
When one's ancient martial arts cultivation reaches the level of fifty years or more, one can use internal energy to lift the body and "float" away, which is much better than the lightness skills depicted in martial arts dramas.
Therefore, for practitioners of ancient martial arts, even long distances are easier to cover by walking than by horseback.
In the world of ancient martial arts, only children know how to ride horses.
However, the ancient medical community is different. Ancient doctors basically cannot practice ancient martial arts, so aristocratic families will have their family members train in horseback riding, archery and other physical fitness sports from a young age.
"Okay, I'll take you riding." Fu Yunshen patted her head and chuckled. "Perfect timing, I'll have Yunshan catch some birds during the winter hunt so I can roast them for you."
The air quality in the ancient medical community was high, and the meat of the animals raised there was also better.
She really likes to eat.
Ying Zijing nodded slightly: "Let's catch a few and take them back to Dad and the others. We can make them into cured meat."
"able."
"Okay, I'll send a few bags to Xiaolan and Adele too."
Fu Yunshen, holding a tablet, said, "Yaoyao, Imperial University has officially started its summer break, and your grades are out. Do you want to see them?"
Ying Zijin closed her eyes and said, "No, there's no suspense."
Fu Yunshen looked at the row of perfect scores and GPAs: "..."
Indeed, there was no suspense.
**
After staying at the Ji family's residence for four days, Ying Zijing and Fu Yunshen returned to the ancient medical community.
The hunt began in the afternoon, and by 11 a.m., a number of people had already begun to arrive at the horse farm.
Fu Yunshen went to get his hunting riding gear.
Ying Zijing was wearing a baseball cap and holding a bottle of cola, watching the horses.
She glanced at it quickly, only stopping at the very end.
Ying Zijin looked up, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed.
This is a pure black horse with a bright mane, swift hooves, and a beautiful physique.
The horse was firmly tethered to the railing, and upon seeing someone approaching, it let out a warning neigh.
This startled the other people watching the horses.
The girl's attire was different from that of people in the ancient medical community, which attracted a lot of curious onlookers.
Ying Zijin raised her hand, about to grab the reins of the horse.
“Miss Ying!” Meng Qingxue frowned when she saw it. “That’s a wild horse that hasn’t been tamed yet. You can’t ride it. Don’t touch it.”
Today I chatted with a friend I hadn't spoken to in a long time, and we talked about how my memory and concentration have been impaired due to health reasons.
He: It's an honor that you still remember me.
I just have a bad memory, not amnesia :)
Speaking of horseback riding, my butt hurts so much, it feels like it's been crushed.
