It was Xue Li's first time to come to the mountain where Junior Uncle and Dai Youzong practiced, and she looked around curiously all the way.
This mountain was ordinary, and in Xueli's opinion, it seemed a little remote among the many peaks in the west. They rode on the clouds for a long time before they saw this green peak that was almost submerged in the sea of clouds. There were many trees and spiritual plants planted on the mountain.
The immortal residence where Junior Master and Dai Youzong lived was better than the guesthouse, but it was still simple and a secluded place for spiritual practice.
When Xue Li followed her junior master uncle to the fairy place, Dai Youzong was bending over to take care of the flowers and plants in the medicine garden.
Although Xinglin Peak has a special medicine peak that cultivates various spiritual herbs on a large scale, each peak basically has its own small medicine garden, planting spiritual herbs cultivated by itself.
Dai Youzong did not go to see the excitement of the Xinglin Society. His old figure looked very humble and thin in the medicine garden. His worn and faded clothes made him look even more like a gardener or a poor farmer who worked hard to grow plants.
He noticed a shadow approaching in the sky and thought it was just Xun Wang returning. However, when he looked up, he saw that Xun Wang had returned with Fairy Xueli.
While Dai Youzong was stunned, Xun Wang and Xue Li had already fallen to the ground.
The dress of the Snow Pear Fairy sways lightly, and even though the style is simple, it still has a light and ethereal feel.
Xue Li saw Dai Youzong looking at her in surprise. Knowing that he was her aunt's master, she was also her own grandmaster, so she smiled at him in a friendly manner.
Dai Youzong was flattered.
Ever since Lin Shao's incident, his situation in Xinglin Peak has become very awkward. It has been a long time since anyone has treated him so peacefully and kindly. And somehow, this Snow Pear Fairy always reminds him of Lin Shao back then. He almost dared not look directly into her eyes, fearing that his eyes would turn red accidentally.
Dai Youzong rubbed his palms on his clothes unconsciously, fearing that the mud on his palms would leave a bad impression on the immortals. He stuttered, "Wang'er, did you bring guests back today?"
"Yes." Xun Wang nodded, "I agreed with Fairy Xueli to have tea together, and I happen to be free today."
Seeing Dai Youzong's nervous look, Xueli smiled and said, "Master Dai Feng, don't worry. We just want to sit down and chat. It won't take much time."
Dai Youzong nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay."
Xun Wang thought for a moment and said, "Master, let's use the tea room."
Dai Youzong said, "Of course, you can go in by yourselves."
Xun Wang then brought Xue Li into the room.
After Xue Li entered the fairyland, she looked around with some curiosity.
This is where my aunt once practiced.
Xun Wang and Dai Youzong, the master and his apprentice, had tidied up the immortal residence. Everywhere one could see traces of the immortal's life, as well as the scent of herbs. Xueli noticed that the immortal residence seemed to have three rooms, one of which might have belonged to her aunt. In addition, there were some old things used by women in the immortal residence. Xueli was almost certain that these were her aunt's things in the past, and they had not thrown them away.
After entering the tea room, Xun Wang skillfully brewed a pot of tea. The exquisite pot was placed on the elegant small stove, and soon the aroma of tea began to waft into the air.
Xun Wang said, "I'm sorry, there's no good tea recently. If you come in the spring, the medicinal tea trees we planted behind the mountain will produce new tea, which may be more to the fairy's taste."
Xue Li hurriedly shook her head and said, "No."
In fact, she and her aunt lived in a small fairyland and could only pick some wild tea leaves. Although the wild tea in the fairyland might be very good for mortals, Xueli herself did not have the elegant interest of tea tasting, which required a lot of experience and atmosphere. She had never even seen such beautiful tea sets.
She stared at the mist coming out of the teapot with curiosity for a while, listened to the junior uncle's talk about the classics of tea, and the two talked about her aunt's past. But as they talked, Xueli remembered the inexplicable request that the senior uncle had just suddenly come to her and made, and she still felt quite concerned.
Xue Li couldn't help but ask: "Little Master Uncle, do you know what kind of person Master Uncle is?"
"Big Brother?"
The junior uncle looked puzzled, as if he didn't understand why Xue Li suddenly asked about the master uncle.
He said: "I haven't had much contact with the senior brother, so I don't know him very well."
Xueli said: "Anything is fine. I want to learn as much as possible."
The junior master looked at Xue Li in confusion for a few times, but seeing that she really wanted to know, he spoke.
"Brother, he is the biological son of a peak master on the east side of Xinglin Peak. He has been practicing medicine at Xinglin Peak since he was young. It can be said that he was born with herbs. He is born with a keener sense of smell and taste than ordinary people. He is quick-witted and is a good candidate for learning medicine. He is especially suitable for the practice of the Red Clothes Sect. The elders have high hopes for him."
"Senior Brother himself has lived up to the expectations of the gentlemen. He is diligent and intelligent. He was able to consult independently at a young age. When he was a teenager, he was already famous in the entire cultivation world. He is known to everyone as the new generation of the eldest brother of Xinglin Peak, and he is likely to succeed the position of the chief peak master in the future. Before Senior Sister Lin Shao joined Xinglin Peak, Senior Brother had always been the undisputed number one among his peers."
"Big Brother won the championship for the first time in the Xinglin Association when he was thirty years old. At that time, there were no younger disciples like us now. The ones competing with us were the elders of our master generation. Big Brother won the championship at the age of thirty, the youngest in the thousand-year history of the Xinglin Association. At that time, all the immortal cultivation sects were shocked. Big Brother's reputation was also greatly promoted and reached its peak. Since then, Big Brother has won a total of four Xinglin Associations. If he wins again this year, it will be the fifth."
"This is a unique event in Xinglin Peak in thousands of years. Although I have not had much contact with the eldest brother, to be fair, he is an extremely outstanding medical practitioner."
Xue Li didn't seem to understand anything after listening to this and was confused for a moment.
Junior Master asked, "Why do you ask this all of a sudden? Is it because the final exam is coming up soon? Are you feeling nervous?"
Xueli shook her head: "No."
She thought for a moment and said, "I met Master Uncle by chance on my way back..."
Xue Li told Junior Uncle Master everything about her encounter with Master Uncle on the road and the deal that Master Uncle proposed to her.
After hearing this, Xun Wang was obviously surprised.
Xun Wang was surprised and said: "Big Brother..."
Xue Li didn't know much about worldly affairs, but she vaguely felt that such a private transaction was not a good thing. Seeing that the expression on Junior Master's face was indeed one of disbelief, she knew that she was probably right and felt relieved.
Xueli asked: "Little Master Uncle, has Master Uncle ever come to you to talk about something similar?"
Xun Wang shook his head in confusion and said, "No. I seldom communicate with my senior brother, and I have never heard of such a situation before... Maybe my senior brother is just confused for a moment."
Xue Li asked again: "Should I tell the chief peak master about this situation? If the master uncle succeeds in doing this, wouldn't it be unfair to the Xinglin Association..."
Xun Wang shook his head again and said, "You have no evidence. Senior Brother has always had a good reputation in Xinglin Peak and has a high prestige. Although I will not doubt your words, if you rashly go to find other peak masters like this, I am afraid that others will not believe you. Instead, they will think that you are spreading rumors and gossiping, and that you have bad intentions."
Xue Li didn't expect there were so many intricacies. No wonder the master chose to talk to her when no one was around. Besides not wanting other people to know, he also didn't want to be caught.
Xueli asked: "What should I do then?"
Xun Wang was also shocked after hearing this, but he was not good at intrigue, just like Dai Youzong and Lin Shao in the past. The elder who was most likely to trust them was Master Dai Youzong, but Dai Youzong was in an awkward situation at Xinglin Peak, and might not be as good as Junior Master himself.
Xun Wang looked at Xue Li, who was still very young and a generation younger than him, and after thinking it over, he felt that it would be better for him to handle the matter.
Xun Wang comforted him, "Don't worry too much. Just focus on the competition. Leave this matter to me. If it doesn't work, I will go to the eldest brother and test his words."
Xue Li was also trying hard to think of an idea. After hearing what her junior master said, she nodded.
The atmosphere in the tea room was no longer the same as before. Xun Wang could see that this incident made Xueli feel uneasy. In order to calm her down, Xun Wang paused and took the initiative to change the subject: "By the way, Xueli, weren't you interested in the medical tools I gave you before? Do you want to see my collection of medical tools? I still have some treasures here."
Xue Li pricked up her ears when she heard about medical tools. She really liked the medical needles Xun Wang had given her before. They were better than any she had used before and fit the job well.
Xue Li said freshly: "Is it okay?"
Xun Wang smiled: "Of course."
Having said that, he stood up and walked outside. When he returned to the tea room, he had several brocade boxes in his hands. It was obvious at a glance that they were collections that had not been used, but they were all well preserved.
Xun Wang opened the boxes and showed them to Xue Li, introducing them one by one: "I bought these three years ago when I went to the south with my master to practice medicine. This set was given by the chief peak master last year, and these... There are many that I haven't had time to use yet..."
Junior Master's medical tools are all in sets. He doesn't have deep feelings for Xinglin Peak itself, but he treats medical tools with a kind of meticulousness that ordinary people don't have, and he doesn't ask where they come from. It can be seen that although Junior Master doesn't usually play with them, he still maintains them well just in case.
But at the end, Junior Uncle took out the last set of medical tools and said, "This is what I usually use. You should have seen it."
Xue Li had indeed seen it, but had never had the chance to take a close look.
I saw that although the set of medical tools of my junior uncle was not very new, they still looked shiny due to proper maintenance. Moreover, my junior uncle had good taste. The knife pad and pillowcase were embroidered with flowers, which had a classic feel.
Now that the Xinglin Association has reached the final stage of the final exam, the medical practitioners have been allowed to use their own medical instruments. Only the things they have at hand can ensure that they are in the best condition. However, they must be checked by the peak masters before going on stage to ensure fairness.
Xue Li came closer to take a closer look out of curiosity, but when she was examining a medical knife, she suddenly exclaimed "Huh", and took the knife in her hand to take a closer look.
Xun Wang saw that Xueli looked strange and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Xueli squinted her eyes and looked at it carefully. As she looked, she said, "Master, there seems to be something wrong with your medical knife..."
Xue Li weighed it carefully, and moved her fingers flexibly on the medical knife. Suddenly, she felt a very shallow groove on the side of the handle. She exerted force with her fingers, and with a "click", the medical knife was immediately stained with a faint smell of medicine.
Xue Li took a sniff and immediately identified it as the herb of the herb.
This is a spiritual herb that can be grown by medical practitioners in the mortal world. It is very rare and the price is very high. But it is called a magical herb, but in fact it can only improve the efficacy of many medicines and can temporarily and significantly relieve the patient's condition. In fact, if the right medicine cannot be used, it will only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. The effect cannot be compared with the Lingzhi immortal grass in many immortal worlds, but it is already a remarkable thing in the mortal world.
Of course, such herbs are obviously forbidden to be used in the Xinglin Society.
As the faint herbal scent spread, Xue Li and Xun Wang's faces changed. Xun Wang's face turned almost as pale as paper.
Xue Li certainly felt that it was unlikely that Xun Wang would make such a design on his medical knife. She said, "Master, someone else has tampered with your medical knife!"
As she spoke, after Xue Li discovered the first problem, she immediately took out all of Xun Wang's collections and fiddled with them one by one.
result…
“Click.”
“Click.”
“Click.”
The smell of medicine gradually became stronger, and small medicine grooves appeared on some medical knives. It turned out that more than half of the things that Junior Uncle placed in his medical room had such designs!
The author has something to say: Entering the solution phase!
