From this young man's words, Xiaoyao could tell that he should also practice dicine, and this group of people should all practice dicine. dical sects, though not nurous, there were quite a few. The most famous were dicine Immortal Ridge, dicine King Valley, Myriad Flowers Sect, and many smaller sects with good dical skills.
Xiaoyao couldn't determine which sect these people belonged to because he hadn't paid attention to such things. But to be so imposing in this small city, any of them seed possible. Generally speaking, physicians had relatively high status and were supported by people.
"Yes, yes, they just like calling a divine doctor. Alright, everyone, I want to go eat breakfast. You don't mind making way, do you?" Xiaoyao said indifferently. He didn't inquire about these people's purpose because he knew they would definitely speak up. Preparing to leave was the best inquiry and could save a lot of nonsense.
"Wait, we want to ask you about sothing." the young man said. Although his words said "ask," there didn't seem to be much sincerity in asking, it was more like questioning, the kind where you must answer.
"Please speak." Xiaoyao maintained his usual politeness. His motto was:
"If others don't offend , I won't offend others. If others offend , I'll yield three parts. If others offend again, I'll return one needle. ... ... If others still offend , eliminate them completely."
"We want to know how you cured their illness. Do you know what disease they had?" the young man asked.
"Their illness is called Yin Worm Disease. They got it from eating unclean things. This disease is very rare, with few sources. From their condition, this thing should be gone now, otherwise their situation would only be more serious. With their current condition, they just need to take so dicine to get better." Xiaoyao said slowly.
This was why Xiaoyao didn't have people pay attention to their diet, because the cause had already disappeared. The circumstances that caused this disease were very special. It couldn't persist for long and wouldn't appear twice in the sa place.
It was because of this that very few people knew about this disease. Unless one was a highly skilled dical expert with vast knowledge, they wouldn't know about this illness.
Originally, these farrs had also consulted many physicians for treatnt, all returning unsuccessful. So they went seeking dical help, and the target of their dical seeking was the sect of the young man before them. Xiaoyao just happened to encounter them by chance.
This young man had co to check the situation. After all, he was a physician, and the village was not far from their vicinity. Generally, sects would at least protect nearby people because their inco sources and talent supplents largely ca from these nearby people.
When he reached the village, this young man began examining the patients' conditions. He spent a long ti before diagnosing this disease, but how to treat it, this matter he couldn't be certain about. He still needed to consult the seniors in his sect. His dical skills could only identify this disease but couldn't cure it.
Just at this ti, the people Xiaoyao had cured returned, bringing everyone news that they had completely recovered, and they were cured by a young man around twenty years old. This made the young man feel very surprised and quite unconvinced, thinking that if even he had no solution, how could a twenty-year-old young man possibly have one?
At that ti, the young man really wanted to say this matter was false, but those cured people were telling him it was true. He examined those people's conditions and could confirm they had all recovered and were completely cured.
According to his understanding, this disease wasn't easy to treat and generally took a long ti. How could it be cured all at once?
Later, the prescription Xiaoyao gave those farrs surprised him even more. This combination of dicines was perfect and flawless, seemingly able to cure this disease. Though it was said to be slower, it was much faster than any situation he knew of.
So the young man urgently wanted to et Xiaoyao to figure out whether Xiaoyao happened to know about this disease, happened to have seen others treat it before, and then happened to cure these people's illness.
Hmm, all coincidences, very coincidental. Besides coincidence, there was no other explanation.
Now this young man ant exactly this, he wanted to ask Xiaoyao from whom he had learned this...
"How do you know about this Yin Worm Disease?" the young man continued asking.
"In Sun Si's 'Thousand Gold Prescriptions,' this disease is ntioned. You should study hard, this is the experience of predecessors. Even if you're a genius, without studying you're still diocre." Xiaoyao said, his tone carrying so regret, as if regretting the other's lack of learning. Well, he was now implying the other was unlearned.
"..." The young man's face darkened. He didn't seem to expect Xiaoyao would say this. He had read this book and knew about this disease. He asked this question just to know how Xiaoyao knew about it, not because he himself didn't know. Now Xiaoyao made it sound like he didn't know, which was hard for him to accept.
"Of course I know this. I've already diagnosed this disease. If I were to treat it, I could also cure this illness. Who said I haven't read books? I've read all dical texts from ancient tis to now," the young man refused to back down, still maintaining his arrogance, not wanting to be defeated by Xiaoyao.
"Oh, then have you read the dicine King Records?" Xiaoyao asked.
"..., No. The dicine King Records belong to dicine King Valley. I'm from dicine Immortal Ridge, it's impossible to read dicine King Valley's supre classics," the young man was stumped. He had just said he'd read everything, but now when Xiaoyao ntioned one, he didn't know it.
So he was from dicine Immortal Ridge. Now I understand where their arrogance cos from. People from dicine Immortal Ridge indeed had reasons to be arrogant, because dicine Immortal Ridge was almost the highest existence in dical arts. dicine King Valley and others were slightly weaker.
Of course, this didn't rule out so unparalleled geniuses appearing in other sects, but generally speaking, dicine Immortal Ridge held the highest honor.
"Alright, I won't argue with you anymore. My stomach is hungry. Since you've all co, I believe others won't need either. I'm leaving." Xiaoyao now had even less interest in staying. Eating breakfast was most important.
Arguing? He actually said we were arguing here. Do we have that much ti?
"Um... may I ask how to address you." When the young man wanted to call Xiaoyao, he seed to realize he didn't know Xiaoyao's na. After talking for so long, they hadn't even introduced their identities.
"If you want to know soone's na, you should introduce yourself first," Xiaoyao didn't stop walking and said without turning back.
"Since that's the case, you should also give your na first," the young man said.
"I don't want to know your nas." Xiaoyao said casually.
"..." Imdiately, the young man seed a bit hurt. Thinking about it, he was right, from the beginning, he was the one seeking the other person. The other had never thought of eting him. Speaking of it, he should be the one asking for help, not the other way around.
However, he was unwilling to admit this because he was from dicine Immortal Ridge and was also dicine Immortal Ridge's senior disciple, a senior disciple who received respect and admiration.
At this ti, he seed to have no choice but to concede because while he was silent, Xiaoyao hadn't stopped walking and went straight ahead.
"Wait, I am n Wei from dicine Immortal Ridge."
"Xiaoyao, a servant," Xiaoyao replied. "If you still want to continue talking, please co to the main hall ahead. I want to eat breakfast."
Servant? What does that an?
n Wei and others were sowhat confused. If Xiaoyao said he was a dicine boy, they would find this very normal because that's what they thought, Xiaoyao should be a dicine boy to so hermit divine doctor who occasionally learned how to treat Yin Worm Disease.
But now Xiaoyao said he was a servant. How could a servant possibly learn this? Was it accidental? Hmm, it should be accidental.
At this ti, n Wei felt Xiaoyao might no longer have any value. He originally wanted to et the expert who could treat this disease to learn sothing, but now it seed this was impossible.
Because in their view, if it was accidental, then this servant Xiaoyao had no way to contact that expert again. Even his master's family might not be able to, let alone a servant.
So after this sentence, n Wei and others all beca disappointed. They lost interest in Xiaoyao's invitation to go to the main hall together. If he didn't ask the next casual question, one he himself felt unnecessary to ask since it was already obvious.
"Where did this prescription co from?"
Of course from that expert - I'm really asking unnecessarily. After asking this question, n Wei said to himself.
"I wrote it." Xiaoyao replied casually. Did this even need asking?
"..., I know you wrote it. I an, where did you learn this prescription from?" n Wei said. He wouldn't think this was created by Xiaoyao himself - it must have been seen sowhere by chance.
"From books." Xiaoyao's answer was simple. His prescription did co from books, but not from a simple single book, not a ready-made prescription. It was a prescription he derived through combining many books, studying dicinal properties, and considering actual situations.
"What books?" n Wei said. He had also seen prescriptions for this disease but had never seen one like this. Those prescriptions could only serve as reference - he didn't dare copy them exactly. It was because of this that he didn't dare prescribe dicine and had to ask the elders in his sect.
Xiaoyao looked at n Wei, then said, "Many books. If you read more, you'll naturally understand. If I could explain it, then everyone in this world would know."
