Among all the medical schools in the mortal world, Xinglin Peak is recognized as the largest one! Its medical classics, prescriptions, and traditions of immortal arts are unmatched by other medical schools. It has many disciples, and almost all famous medical practitioners come from Xinglin Peak. Since ancient times, there have been many medical immortals who have ascended to heaven. Naturally, the disciples are somewhat proud of their master.
When the eldest senior brother saw Xue Li carrying a medical box and knew that she was also a medical immortal, he felt that it was impossible for her not to have heard of the name of Xinglin Peak in the fairy world. Maybe she had communicated with other ancestors from Xinglin Peak who ascended to heaven, and they might have overlapped in some aspects.
However, the eldest senior brother did not expect that Xue Li did know Xinglin Peak, but it had nothing to do with a good impression.
Shao Yin was not hiding anything from Xueli. Xueli knew from a young age that her aunt was wrongly expelled from the sect for no apparent reason, which was why she found her on a stormy day.
The sect where my aunt used to be a disciple was Xinglin Peak.
As soon as Xue Li heard the words "Xinglin Peak", her heart skipped a beat. Upon learning that the three of them were actually disciples of Xinglin Peak, Xue Li's initial good impression of the three of them was unconsciously discounted. She rode her tiger away from them without making a sound.
However, the eldest brother and the others were unaware of Xueli's abnormality. After they told the origin of "Xinglin Peak", they all straightened their chests unconsciously.
They saw that Xueli was easy to get along with. After all, it was rare for the eldest brother and his friends to see a real fairy. They were nervous, but also honored. After the eldest brother introduced himself, he continued to talk to Xueli boldly and said, "Excuse me, what is the fairy's name?"
Xueli thought about it, and told the truth: "Xueli."
She didn't say anything else, but paused and asked curiously, "What about you guys?"
The eldest brother said: "My name is Fang Yi."
"My name is A Fei!"
"My name is A Guang!"
This was a matter of showing off in front of the fairy. After several brothers rushed to introduce themselves, the younger sister also slightly turned up her nose and said, "My name is Sheng Jin, just call me Ah Jin."
Everyone exchanged names, but to be honest, although these medical disciples were eager to tell her their ancestors with shining eyes, Xue Li only remembered the general names.
But this can also be considered as a way of communicating with each other.
After proudly talking about their master, the eldest brother continued the previous topic and said, "As for what the fairy wants to ask... There have indeed been some unusual things in this area before."
Xue Li immediately perked up when he said that and asked, "What happened?"
The eldest brother said, "To be honest, Fairy, this is why we are here. Five days ago, at midnight, I couldn't sleep so I was meditating in front of the window. Unexpectedly, there was a burst of light in the sky! It forced me out of my meditation. When I opened my eyes, I happened to see a ball of white light in the north! In the northern sky, there was such a big ball of light. At first glance, it looked like a sun appeared in the rainstorm in the middle of the night, illuminating the sky! We were far away at the time. When I saw that the light seemed to be coming from the direction of the sect, I was so scared that I hurriedly got up to check. Later, I calculated that the location seemed to be in this forest. As soon as the sun rose, I hurried here with my brothers and sisters to check."
When Xue Li heard this, she realized that the time and place matched the day when the big snow wolf ran away, and midnight was also the time when the rain stopped in the fairyland.
She knew this was probably what she wanted to ask, so she asked hurriedly, "What's going on with that ball of light? What happened? Did you see it clearly?"
The eldest brother shook his head in shame and said, "No. We had just completed the medical diagnosis mission assigned by the sect, and we were too far away. Although I immediately brought my fellow disciples here the next day, it took us five days to get here. By the time we got here, there was no clue except for the snake just now."
Junior sister A Jin said angrily, "Where is the white light? I slept well that night and didn't see anything! Maybe your eyesight is not very good, and you were too confused during meditation and sleep, so you saw it wrong! You insisted on taking us here by a detour. We could have just completed the mission and returned to the sect, which would have taken less than five days... But we came here and didn't see any trace, and we even ran into a demon snake for no reason."
The eldest senior brother's face turned pale after hearing what the younger junior sister said. In fact, after being complained by the younger junior sister all the way, the two younger junior brothers were also skeptical, and he himself couldn't help but wonder if he really had seen it wrong.
He leaned over to Xueli guiltily, bowed and said, "Speaking of the demon snake just now, it was really thanks to the fairy who saved us. If the fairy hadn't passed by, the four of us brothers and sisters really don't know what to do."
Xue Li couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when she learned that they knew so little. She shook her head listlessly, indicating that there was no need to be so polite.
As expected, to know the specific situation that night, you still need to ask more people, preferably those who are close. Or, just go directly to the Ninth Heaven to find the Great Snow Wolf.
After saying this, Xue Li tried to ask the four people again: "Do you know how to get to the Ninth Heaven?"
The eldest brother was stunned.
"The fairy is joking."
The eldest brother thought Xue Li was joking and smiled helplessly.
"How can we, disciples who haven't become immortals, know how to get to the Ninth Heaven? If we knew, we would have ascended long ago."
makes sense.
Sydney became increasingly frustrated.
This means that people in the mortal world probably don’t know how to go to the Ninth Heaven. Unless she finds other gods, she can only look for clues in the mortal world first.
But the eldest brother sincerely wanted to help Xueli. When he heard the fairy asking about the light ball that night, he thought about it for a while, and then his eyes lit up!
He said, "If you want to know what happened that night, why don't you come with us to visit Xinglin Peak? Our Xinglin Peak is the hill in front of us. It doesn't take much time to get there. It is the nearest large sect of Taoists nearby. There are people patrolling day and night. I'm sure many people saw the details that night. Besides, they are immortal sects, so they can see much more than mortals! If you want to find someone to ask about what happened that night, Xinglin Peak must know the most. Why go so far?"
"Big Brother!"
Seeing that the eldest brother and the fairy were talking to each other with great interest, but the horsemen were not walking very fast, Ah Jin could not help but urge them anxiously: "Stop talking about these nonsense! If you continue like this, you won't be able to return to the sect before dark! The Xinglin meeting is about to start, and we will really be laughed at by the people of the Red Clothes Sect!"
Xue Li originally planned to keep a distance from them because they were from Xinglin Peak where her aunt had met with an accident in the past. She was also very hesitant about the suggestion of her senior brother Fang Yi, but when she heard what her junior sister said, she paused and also wanted to learn more about worldly affairs through them.
Xueli asked: "What is this Xinglin Society you are talking about? And what is this Red Clothes Sect you keep talking about?"
The eldest senior brother was trying to comfort the younger junior sister in a panic. When he heard Xue Li's question, he turned around and saw Xue Li's clear almond eyes, and his face blushed. He knew that it was the younger junior sister who kept repeating these things, which made the fairy concerned.
"The fairy laughed at me."
The eldest brother sat on his horse, bowed shyly to Xue Li briefly, and then began to explain.
He raised his sleeves to show Xueli, and said gently: "Look, fairy, the four of us are all wearing green clothes, right?"
He said: "Our Xinglin Peak is a major medical sect. There are a total of 1,348 peaks in the entire sect. Some peaks are used to cultivate spiritual herbs and flowers, and raise spiritual beasts, while some peaks are for disciples to practice. These peaks have their own peak masters, and the peak masters have different disciples. However, with so many peak masters, each of them is good at different medical fields and has different medical concepts. In the end, according to different concepts, they were roughly divided into the Qingyi Sect and the Chiyi Sect. Every five years, the disciples of the same generation and even the peak masters and masters of the two sides will compete with each other to compete in medical skills. This is the Xinglin Association. In addition to our own disciples, the Xinglin Association will also invite other medical sects, but because most of the other sects are not very influential, the competition is mainly between our Qingyi Sect and Chiyi Sect."
He paused for a moment and added, "Now the masters and disciples of the Green Clothes Sect live in the West Peak, and the Red Clothes Sect live in the East Peak. Although they wear different clothes, they are still disciples of the same sect after all. They often interact with each other, and there is a lot of cooperation and competition."
Xue Li asked in confusion: "What is the difference in philosophy between the Red Clothes Sect and the Green Clothes Sect?"
The eldest brother said: "The Qingyi Sect emphasizes medical techniques and Taoism, which are better than medicine; the Chiyi Sect emphasizes medicine, which are better than medical techniques and Taoism."
I see.
Xue Li understood as soon as she heard it.
Doctors in the mortal world treat mortals, mostly using external and internal methods. When it comes to practicing medicine, there are many more medical techniques available, as well as elixirs and remedies. The effects and scope of use are much greater than those in the mortal world, but in essence, they are still similar.
The eldest senior brother also shyly explained in detail: "Generally speaking, the Qingyi School is better at external injuries, and the Chiyi School is better at internal diseases. But whether it is medical methods or herbal medicines, as long as you master them thoroughly, you can eventually save lives and heal the wounded. Besides, we don't just learn one and then don't touch the other. We can learn both medical methods and herbal medicines from both sides, it's just a matter of which one we are better at."
Xue Li understood what she heard, but in her opinion, these two methods were both very important treatment methods of the medical immortal, and there was no need to rank them.
She asked, "Are there no disciples from your two sects who are good at both?"
The eldest brother was slightly startled, and replied: "Yes, but in the past few hundred years, there has only been one person."
Xueli asked, "Who is it?"
The eldest senior brother showed a slightly nostalgic look on his face and said, "Master Lin Shao."
Sydney settled.
The little sister at the side sneered when she heard the name, and said angrily: "Brother, you actually mentioned her! If it weren't for this person, how could our Qingyi Sect be in such a miserable situation today!"
The eldest brother frowned and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Junior Sister was silent because of drinking, but she was obviously still holding her breath.
The eldest senior brother turned around and apologized to Xueli, "I'm sorry, it was fifteen years ago that Senior Sister Lin Shao was at Xinglin Peak. Junior Sister is only fourteen this year. When Senior Sister Lin Shao was there, she was still in her mother's belly. She had never seen Senior Sister Lin Shao in person. Instead, she heard a lot from other people and couldn't make a correct judgment."
Xueli knew that "Lin Shao" was her aunt's name in the mortal world. She nodded casually and asked, "Who is this Lin Shao you are talking about? What happened to her?"
The eldest brother said, "Master Lin Shao is a senior of our generation at Xinglin Peak. Her master also lives in the West Peak. Strictly speaking, she was a member of our Qingyi Sect back then. Among the disciples of her generation, she was ranked sixteenth, and was the sixteenth master. But Master Lin Shao was a natural talent, amazingly talented, proficient in Taoism and elixirs, and even developed many medical skills that even her predecessors did not know. Although she was not the first to enter the sect, she only joined Xinglin Peak for one year and surpassed the master uncle who was of the same generation and much older than her, becoming the most anticipated disciple of Xinglin Peak. The masters at that time all said that Master Lin Shao was so talented that she would definitely become an immortal in the future."
When Xue Li heard other people's comments about Aunt Shao Yin's past, she was slightly distracted and couldn't help but lower her eyes.
She asked: "What happened next? Why is Fairy Lin Shao no longer at Xinglin Peak?"
The eldest brother hesitated for a long time, as if he felt that these things should not be mentioned to outsiders.
But he thought that Xue Li was a deity and their savior, so he told her anyway.
"Master Lin Shao's accident happened exactly fifteen years ago. On the eve of the Xinglin Conference that year, Xinglin Peak hosted a banquet for all the Taoist sects, not just the various medical sects, but also many other cultivators who came to visit Xinglin Peak. Who would have thought that the son of the leader of another Taoist sect would clamor to see the most prestigious Master Lin Shao. He ignored others' attempts to stop him and brought a group of disciples from inside and outside the peak to break into Master Lin Shao's residence, saying that they were waiting for her to come back. Who would have thought that on Master Lin Shao's desk, he saw many letters between her and her former patients."
The eldest senior brother paused for a moment before continuing, "The letter says that the 'magic skills' she displayed when treating patients in the past were actually the result of a conspiracy between insiders and outsiders, just to make Sister Shao Yin famous."
"The son of the sect leader got the letters and immediately ran to the banquet to show them to the chief peak master in front of everyone. The chief peak master was embarrassed. With everyone watching, he had no time to check carefully. He hurriedly arrested Sister Lin Shao who was checking the flowers and plants, and expelled Sister Lin Shao from Xinglin Peak to appease the public anger."
The eldest brother was afraid that Fairy Xueli would misunderstand him, so he quickly added: "But these are just one-sided statements from those people! What happened at that time is not clear at all. I entered Xinglin Peak when I was three years old, and I have met Sister Lin Shao. Just from her sincerity and focus on medicine, she would never do such a thing! It's just..."
As he spoke, the eldest brother's expression grew gloomy.
"Originally, our Qingyi Sect was better than the Red Yi Sect overall, but after the incident with Nun Lin Shao, many people in the Red Yi Sect wantonly spread rumors that our Qingyi Sect was deceiving and deceived many candidate disciples who had not officially decided which master to worship into the Red Yi Sect. Some of the original peak masters and disciples of the Qingyi Sect also changed their identities, and some dared not show up again. As a result, our Qingyi Sect has been declining and is much weaker than before. This is why Junior Sister is angry."
He said, "However, I believe in Sister Lin Shao. There is one more thing... On the day Sister Lin Shao was expelled from the sect, many people said they saw real immortals! Some people even said the immortals came to find Sister Lin Shao... After that, the sect was quiet for a long time, but after the immortals left, everyone's memories seemed to become fuzzy, and later they gradually lost track of what was true or false. The Red Clothes Sect was of course certain that it was a fake, and they said that this was also a rumor spread by our Green Clothes Sect. I... I was only eight years old at the time, and I was still a young disciple in the outer courtyard, so I don't remember it."
Xue Li listened to the eldest brother telling the whole story, but he paused when he talked about the gods.
She didn't understand the fairy world before, but later she heard Zi Lan say that if the gods appeared in front of mortals, they didn't want them to remember too much and affect their fate, so the mortals' memories would slowly become blurred. Xueli didn't want to be vague this time, but according to what the eldest brother said, it was possible that a god really went to look for her aunt.
But what do they want to do with their aunt
Xueli looked confused.
But at this moment, the eldest senior brother smiled bitterly and said again: "Let's not talk about these old things. Let's go back to what we said before. If the fairy wants to find out the news, it would be best to come to our Xinglin Peak. Moreover, the Xinglin Conference is coming soon, and the peak is welcoming foreign guests everywhere. Not only are there medical immortals from the immortal sects, but many independent cultivators are also willing to come and pay a visit! If the fairy is willing, she can live in Xinglin Peak as an independent cultivator, and she can also participate in the Xinglin Conference and exercise her hands and feet."
Having said this, he calmed himself down before continuing.
"Every year at the Xinglin Conference, the first place winner will receive a prize. This year's prize may also be of interest to the fairy."
The eldest brother said: "According to what was revealed in the peak before, the prize for the first place this year will be-"
He paused.
"—Xuanriyan Fruit."
Xue Li was absent-minded at first, but when she heard the words "Xuan Ri Yan Guo", she immediately pricked up her ears!
The author has something to say: Why do I write so much every day recently... It's so weird...
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, my little darlings!
