Chapter 164 Governing the World
Qin Changqing, as the commander-in-chief, had no intention of personally entering the city.
With so many magical treasures and various subordinates, the cultivators were well-versed in the situation within the city.
So he nodded: "Okay, then we'll observe further."
Swish swish!
Grand Tutor Mu Liyang, who was standing next to him, was writing and drawing on a piece of paper.
He didn't bother to hide it. Qin Changqing glanced at it and said, "B!"
This trip was the emperor's test for the crown prince.
Grand Tutor Mu was the sole referee.
The Crown Prince divides every matter into four parts: A, B, C, and D.
This can be understood as A getting full marks, B getting 80, and C just passing with 60 points.
The last one, Ding, is considered unqualified and will definitely be questioned by the emperor.
Qin Changqing knew that Grand Tutor Mu was meticulous in his actions, and that giving him Yiji was already quite good, indicating that his choice had been approved.
Indeed, if the commander-in-chief did everything himself, he would be exhausted.
He nodded, his impression of Xiao Erke improving somewhat.
Qin Changqing said, "Do you know that there is a plague in the city? It's a strange disease that even spiritual power cannot resist."
"Have you considered what you would do if you encountered danger after entering the city?"
"Aren't you afraid?"
Mo Ling exclaimed "Ah!" and was about to answer.
But Su Yun had already spoken: "As the saying goes, hearing is believing, seeing is believing."
“My uncle is the county magistrate. If I want to help him, I have to do it myself and go to the scene to observe the situation.”
"Moreover... I believe that everything has its counteracting mechanism."
"With so many talented and extraordinary people in the Great Qian Dynasty, they will surely be able to find a way to resist the epidemic, at least to temporarily alleviate the situation when people are traveling in and out."
"In the end... my mother is still in the city."
"I'm not afraid until I see her."
His words clearly explained both public and private matters.
Qin Changqing looked at him with surprise: "Child, which teacher do you study with?"
Su Yun said, "Master Yue from Yingtian Academy."
He paused, then added, "And Dean Pang."
The Dean also contributed to the first kidnapping by a powerful figure from the Miaofan Realm that day.
In that case, giving him a teaching position wouldn't be a bad idea.
Becoming an apprentice is like becoming an apprentice to a father, but a teacher is different.
Those who are capable come first; as long as someone has the ability, Su Yun is willing to learn from them.
Qin Changqing couldn't help but praise, and said with a smile, "Kid, not bad, really not bad."
Swish swish.
Grand Tutor Mu scribbled on the paper, changing the "B" from "B" to "C"!
He even wrote a comment next to it: "Clinging to life and afraid of death!"
Qin Changqing's smile immediately turned cold. Not daring to scold the Grand Tutor, he glared fiercely at Xiao Erke.
That decision was alright at first, but compared to this kid, it seems really inadequate.
This epidemic is strange, but there are relatively safe ways to deal with it.
At least the soldiers could still be kept safe while entering and leaving the city to deliver intelligence and provide supplies.
This child is selfless and wants to help his uncle.
Personally, I want to see my mother.
People aren't afraid of bad strategies, they're afraid of comparisons!
Qin Changqing wouldn't hold a grudge against the child, so he turned his anger on Xiao Erke instead.
As a strategist, he ended up getting a "C" grade!
Xiao Erke was bewildered and could only lower his head in fear, feeling even more resentful.
Those blind fools at Yingtian Academy kicked him out just because he was eloquent.
Qin Changqing withdrew his gaze and said, "If you want to enter the city, you can discuss it with Miss Cici."
A woman dressed simply with braids, looking as gentle and kind as a girl next door, gave a curtsy: "Hello, Young Master Su!"
Su Yun was puzzled this time: "You know me?"
Ding!
For countless years, the Demon Lord has ravaged the myriad realms, and for just as many years, Little Fairy Doctor has healed the Demon Lord's enemies.
The Little Fairy Doctor is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see suffering. She deeply hates the Demon Lord who has caused countless human tragedies.
As the number one saint in all realms (not in a derogatory sense), if you can gain her favor, the powerful beings who were previously healed by her will be less likely to seek revenge against you.
[Note: You can also receive the most perfect medical care.]
[Mission Difficulty: Highest]
[Quest Reward: Shennong's Pharmacopoeia]
Cici smiled, revealing two small dimples: "My master is Han Youfang, he has met you!"
"He spoke highly of you; I'm so glad I finally met you!"
Ding!
[Little Fairy Doctor's favorability towards you: -999999999 → 80]
[A medical miracle, witnessing so much evil, yet Little Fairy Doctor still chooses to believe in you!]
[Quest Reward: Shennong's Pharmacopoeia]
Su Yun swallowed hard: "So that's how it was."
I met Han Youfang once before, when I was treating the courtesan at Chunmanlou.
He also helped deal with Mu Changkong and cured him of his poison once.
Unexpectedly, this future Little Fairy Doctor was actually his disciple.
Because the Heavenly Origin Realm was linked to the Chosen One and the Demon Lord, even after it was shattered, a large number of powerful individuals still fled.
Continue to roam the myriad realms and create new great achievements.
Little Fairy Doctor is kind-hearted and treats the sick.
The Demon Lord killed and injured countless people, so she didn't appear often, but her role was significant.
The chosen one, as the protagonist, is crippled by the protagonist.
He went to Little Fairy Doctor to get some medicine, and he was full of energy again.
Having witnessed numerous deaths, Little Fairy Doctor had a very poor attitude towards the Demon Lord.
She is kind-hearted and wouldn't have the heart to kill.
But they would absolutely ignore the Demon Lord and keep their distance.
If the task were set a thousand years in the future, the difficulty would be astronomical.
But now... Cici hasn't become Little Fairy Doctor yet, and her attitude towards Su Yun is also very good.
Su Yun went straight to the point: "Then... is there any medicine that can help one avoid the plague when entering the city?"
Cici said, "This disease is very strange. The more vigorous your qi and blood are, the greater the probability of being poisoned."
"Typhoid herb can be used to weaken qi and blood..."
Su Yun nodded; he knew the root cause of this epidemic.
No medicine will work now; only finding the source can solve the problem.
Because of the unique nature of the disease, people need to be intentionally poisoned in order to avoid transmission.
However, upon hearing Cici's suggestion, Su Yun also chimed in, "Or we could use the Heartbreak Flower and neutralize its toxicity with realgar wine."
"Since you're going to get poisoned anyway, why not choose the milder kind?"
Upon hearing this, Cici frowned slightly, looking as if she was deep in thought.
Upon hearing this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "The poison of the Heartbreak Flower can sever tendons and veins."
"But if the toxicity is reduced, it only causes blood vessel blockage, so it results in... itchy skin!"
"Yes, this mild poison won't even affect one's cultivation level."
"If the soldiers take it, everything will be much easier!"
Qin Changqing hadn't expected that this conversation would lead to a new prescription.
He immediately interjected, "Miss Cici, is this prescription feasible?"
Tzu Tzu couldn't wait to open his Qiankun bag and start making medicine on the spot, excitedly saying, "Nine times out of ten!"
Having just been glared at, Xiao Erke immediately reminded him, "Your Highness, this recipe must not be revealed!"
Qin Changqing immediately ordered: "Martial law! No one is allowed to enter or leave the palace. This place must be kept secret!"
Grand Tutor Mu glanced at it and drew the character "甲" on the paper.
Decisiveness is a characteristic that a wise ruler should possess.
Qin Changqing was very satisfied and gave Xiao Erke an approving look.
Xiao Erke chuckled and glanced at Su Yun.
Young man, your prescription has now been taken over by the imperial court!
While grinding the medicine, Cici asked, "Young master, where did you learn pharmacology?"
“I didn’t study it.” Su Yun shook his head and took out the Shennong Pharmacopoeia. “The prescription I just read came from this book.”
Before Cici even took it, she could already feel the medicinal power surging from it, and she was extremely surprised.
The prescriptions and herbal illustrations alone were already subtly connected to the Great Dao of Heaven.
This shows how precious this book is; once it's released, it might sweep the entire pharmaceutical industry!
Cici exclaimed in surprise, "Young master, this book is extremely precious. Why don't you keep it for yourself?"
Su Yun scratched the back of his head and chuckled, "Even if I learn it, I can only become a doctor and treat one group of people."
"But if we take it out and let doctors all over the world learn it, then we can cure everyone in the world."
Cici's mouth dropped open, his eyes sparkling with admiring excitement.
Having the world in one's heart—that is the true way of medicine.
Swish swish!
Grand Tutor Mu glanced at it, crossed out "A" on the paper, and changed it to "C"!
