"..." Mén Wèi was taught a lesson again and had no way to refute it because all he could think of at the moment was this, so he didn't consider the specific meaning behind these words.
Soon after, he figured out what it meant and his face showed surprise as he couldn't speak for a long time. Eventually, he said, "You mean to say that you wrote this prescription You're not fooling me... Oh wait, where is the person"
Mén Wèi only realized then that Xiáoyáo had already left and was no longer here; he left early without waiting for Mén Wèi to react.
Xiáoyáo didn't have a duty to wait for him. He was hungry, so having breakfast was the most important thing.
"Senior Brother, he already left to go eat breakfast," someone beside them reminded him.
"I want to ask more about it to confirm whether he really has this medical skill." Mén Wèi said but thought inwardly that he didn't believe Xiáoyáo could be so skilled. He was younger than him by quite a bit, how could he possibly have such high-level skills
When Mén Wèi and others arrived at the main hall, it wasn’t hard to find Xiáoyáo because he was too eye-catching at that moment. He occupied an entire table with various breakfast dishes all over it—steamed buns, char siu bao, shrimp dumplings, fried dough sticks, tofu pudding, etc.
With such a quantity of food, even adding Mén Wèi and others to the group probably wouldn't be enough. At that time, they suspected Xiáoyáo had ordered breakfast for them as well, waiting for their arrival.
But soon after, they realized they were wrong—Xiáoyáo didn’t intend to treat them to breakfast at all; these dishes were either his or his pet's order.
Seeing him eating plate after plate of food without looking full, everyone would understand why Xiáoyáo had ordered so much food. What kind of monster could eat this much with such a small body And also, why did he keep such an appetite-inducing little monster Looking at it, Xiáoyáo didn’t seem very wealthy; raising such a pet must be quite challenging.
However, in the martial arts world, anything could happen. Strange people were everywhere, so this was nothing out of the ordinary!
"Do you guys have anything else" Xiáoyáo asked Mén Wèi and others when he saw them approach him and then immediately started eating again to prevent the food from being eaten by others before him.
“I want...” Mén Wèi suddenly stopped. He originally wanted to ask Xiáoyáo whether he really possessed such medical skills, but thinking about it, if he continued asking like this, it might seem rather rude, which even he could feel.
If Xiáoyáo truly had such medical skills, he would be a person worthy of respect. If he kept speaking to him in this manner, it seemed quite impolite.
Although Mén Wèi was somewhat arrogant, he wasn't hateful and respected medicine. He would respect anyone better than himself in the field of medicine.
It was precisely because Xiáoyáo had such high medical skills that made him start to take Xiáoyáo seriously now, making him feel his attitude towards him seemed inappropriate. Instead of asking directly like this, he wanted to use another method—discussing medical matters and verbally sparring.
Mén Wèi began to spar verbally in medicine, while Xiáoyáo also joined in because he enjoyed it; this was a way to improve his medical skills. He didn't necessarily have to find someone better than himself; even weaker individuals had something worth learning from. This was one of the biggest differences between him and others—he could learn from everyone.
At this moment, he was simply sparring verbally while having breakfast without wasting time—what's not to like
Mén Wèi became increasingly surprised as they sparred more. Now, even if he wasn't sure whether Xiáoyáo could really write that prescription, he knew for certain that Xiáoyáo’s medical skills weren’t simple and might be significantly better than his own. When sparring with Mén Wèi, Xiáoyáo responded effortlessly without hesitation.
For this reason, he specially increased the difficulty level of their sparring, even bringing up some questions that could stump senior members of his sect, but the outcome was still the same—Xiáoyáo answered without any hesitation. His casual demeanor made it seem impossible for him to be stumped.
Right now, he started believing Xiáoyáo might genuinely have written that prescription!!
"Mr. Xiáoyáo, do you want to visit the Immortal Mountain of Medicine We welcome your presence," Mén Wèi said after confirming Xiáoyáo's medical skills.
"Immortal Mountain of Medicine That’s fine. Can I borrow some of your medical books for a look" Xiáoyáo nodded; there was no reason to refuse, as the medical texts at the Immortal Mountain of Medicine were quite valuable and would be beneficial to him.
"This... regular medical books should be fine, but our sect's precious classics might not," Mén Wèi said somewhat awkwardly.
However, this awkwardness seemed completely unnecessary because Xiáoyáo didn’t think he could see the precious classics of others anyway. He already knew that wasn't what he wanted.
Therefore, Xiaoyao casually said, "You're referring to the Medical Sage's Canon That's fine. As long as I can read other medical books."
"Do you know about the Medical Sage's Canon" asked Mengu with a hint of pride. It wasn't just their sect that considered it the most precious scripture; it was also recognized as such across the entire continent, and anyone studying medicine would want to see it.
At this moment, he felt Xiaoyao's indifference stemmed from knowing he couldn’t obtain it, rather than disinterest. In fact, Xiaoyao really didn't care because seeing one more copy of the Medical Sage’s Canon wouldn't help him much; there were other medical texts that could do so too.
Xiaoyao wanted to learn but wasn't adamant about learning. When he acquired various skills, it wasn’t necessarily to become the best at them but rather to comprehend their essence. This essence didn't need to be peak-level knowledge; as long as one could improve, that was sufficient.
To strive for something and to force oneself are two fundamentally different things!
Xiaoyao’s path was simply summarized by the phrase "Dao follows nature." Everything should proceed naturally without undue compulsion.
"If it's just this, I don't think there will be any problems. I believe the Sect Leader would agree," said Mengu confidently. The current sect leader would surely find Xiaoyao’s medical skills interesting and engage in discussions with him.
"Then let's go after breakfast!" suggested Xiaoyao.
“Sure, okay!” nodded Mengu while waiting aside.
Xiaoyao asked somewhat puzzledly, "Did you guys already eat" Why weren’t they having their meal and waiting instead
"Yes, we've eaten," replied Mengu. Actually, they had only waited for Xiaoyao briefly before coming here after breakfast.
“Oh, that's fine then. Let the little foodie finish what’s on the table and pack some to go; it'll be quick!” chuckled Xiaoyao.
The crowd was taken aback when they saw Xiaoyao completely finishing everything on the table and packing up leftovers for later consumption.
“Is there anything else you need” asked Xiaoyao, addressing not Mengu but a few farmers present who hadn’t left yet. They had led him to this place and were waiting for further instructions.
If their purpose was merely to guide him here, they should have left by now since the Medical Sage's Peak people would take care of any issues with illnesses. Xiaoyao found it odd that they remained.
"Heavenly Doctor..."
Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Don't call me Heavenly Doctor; I’m not a professional healer. If you must address me, just call me Little Physician—someone called me that once. A tiny doctor in the mortal world."
"Little Physician..." The farmers respectfully reported, "We’re going with you to Medical Sage's Peak because our villagers have already gone there for their illnesses. They said we should wait for the old medical sages' decisions." By 'old medical sage,' they meant elders from Medical Sage's Peak, whom everyone respectfully called by this title.
However, at this point, these farmers felt Xiaoyao was more impressive than those medical sages as he had cured their illnesses swiftly while the latter needed to consult with their seniors first before treating patients.
In addition, even if those elders came, they believed it wouldn't be as swift as what Xiaoyao accomplished. Even if they were faster, it couldn’t surpass Xiaoyao's speed; only slower could happen.
Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Alright then, take care of them." He was essentially saying he wouldn't treat these patients anymore since they had already been handed over to the Medical Sage Peak experts.
He implied that if others couldn’t cure them, it might be a different story; but with others being able to do so, intervening would be problematic!
Soon after, Xiaoyao ordered some takeout and set off for Medical Sage's Peak...
On the way to Medical Sage's Peak, Xiaoyao noticed there seemed to be many people along the route, mostly from martial circles. He found it odd but didn’t dwell on it; perhaps they were all seeking medical help. Having numerous seekers was quite normal.
Xiaoyao was unaware that a significant event had occurred at Medical Sage's Peak and one influencing the entire martial world landscape as well as the whole of the realm.
Right now, the righteous sects alliance was holding an important meeting atop Medical Sage’s Peak. Almost every righteous sect sent representatives, making it bustling with activity. However, many people also meant many disputes. With so many sects gathering together, conflicts were inevitable; fights broke out daily, resulting in injuries.
Everyone seemed to realize choosing Medical Sage's Peak as the gathering place was a wise decision since those injured could receive immediate medical care here. Moreover, Medical Sage’s Peak welcomed these martial artists as it provided its disciples with practical experience while generating income from medical fees. It was a win-win situation.ead. According to records, it took 100 days to forge the sword, but only 10 days for the metallurgy process. The majority of time was spent on forging, with a small portion used for processes like tem...
