Chapter 173

Nian Duan and Duanmu Rong did not know much about this, and they had no interest in mechanical arts.

Su Xuan noticed this and said to Nian Duan, "Is Master Nian Duan interested in seeing my Yin-Yang School?"

Nian Duan's eyes flickered, and she nodded.

Su Xuan then took Nian Duan to stroll around the Yin-Yang School. Although Duanmu Rong did not have a good impression of the Qin State or the Yin-Yang School, since her master was strolling around with Su Xuan, she could only follow closely behind her master.

Saying it was a stroll, Su Xuan actually only took Nian Duan to two places.

First was the Yin-Yang School's Wood Department. After stepping into the Wood Department, Nian Duan saw many Yin-Yang School disciples practicing Yin-Yang arts. With the operation of the techniques, plants rose from the ground one after another.

Similar methods had been seen by Nian Duan and Duanmu Rong when they were in the Han State, where many Yin-Yang School people performed them. However, at that time, what was catalyzed were agricultural crops. Seeing this "Autumn Orchids Growing on Flat Ground" method again, they still marveled.

"Autumn Orchids Growing on Flat Ground is a method of gathering the wood spirit energy between heaven and earth to quickly catalyze seeds. It can be used to catalyze agricultural crops, and likewise, it can be used to catalyze medicinal herbs."

"Although the medicinal herbs catalyzed with the help of this method have average medicinal properties, if Master Nian Duan is willing to join my Yin-Yang School, you don't have to worry about medicinal herbs!"

Su Xuan still had not given up on the intention of recruiting Nian Duan to join the Yin-Yang School.

Hearing Su Xuan's words, Nian Duan's eyes flickered slightly.

The Yin-Yang School's methods were high and profound, actually being able to use this kind of technique to catalyze medicinal herbs, which truly exceeded her expectations. However, thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be a matter of course.

After all, when they were in the Han State, Yin-Yang School disciples had shown the method of catalyzing agricultural crops out of thin air.

However, facing Su Xuan's recruitment, she still did not give an answer.

Su Xuan knew that wanting to persuade Nian Duan to join the Yin-Yang School was not such an easy thing.

After strolling through the Wood Department, he took Nian Duan to the Metal Department.

Not long after stepping into the area of the Metal Department, a rich fragrance of medicinal pills entered the noses of Nian Duan and Duanmu Rong. Smelling the medicinal fragrance, Duanmu Rong couldn't help but be dazed, as if she had returned to the Jinghu Medical Manor. When her master made medicine at that time, there was often a medicinal fragrance lingering.

She quickly came back to her senses and asked Su Xuan, "Where is this?"

"This is the Metal Department among the five elements and five departments of my Yin-Yang School!"

Not long after stepping into this place, a figure dressed in a cloud-patterned long robe, wearing a high hat and wooden clogs, walked over slowly. The visitor's skin was slightly dark, which was somewhat similar to the skin color of those fishermen who had been by the water for years.

"Greetings, Lord Master Xuantian!"

The visitor was the Metal Department Elder, Yun Yun Zhongjun, whose real name was Xu Fu, originally from Mount Langya in the Qi State. Mount Langya was close to the sea, so Xu Fu's skin color was also very similar to that of fishermen by the sea.

Honestly, after taking over the Yin-Yang School, Su Xuan had once thought about killing this person.

After all, in myths and legends, this person had created a despicable nation, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up.

At this time, it was not certain whether the Eastward Voyage of the Miraculous Tower would happen.

"How are you doing with the things I handed over to you?"

After Xu Fu arrived here, Su Xuan asked him.

Xu Fu hurriedly said, "After Lord Master Xuantian handed that matter to me, I immediately set about organizing the prescriptions. At the moment, I have already completed a part～々."

Toward Su Xuan, Xu Fu did not dare to have any disrespect.

He had always admired the strong, and Su Xuan, being able to defeat the previous Sect Master Donghuang Taiyi and defeat Star Soul with a flick of his finger, was a well-deserved expert. For such an expert, he had no reason to disobey the other party's orders.

Moreover, since Su Xuan took over the Yin-Yang School, the changes within the Yin-Yang School were something Xu Fu could see. Such as the Eastern Lord and Moon God, both had successively shown submission to Su Xuan.

This meant that this new Sect Master, besides his powerful strength, also had extraordinary ability in managing subordinates.

While speaking, Xu Fu took out a roll of silk from his body and handed it respectfully to Su Xuan.

Su Xuan took the silk and opened it, looking at it for a few moments. He was proficient in medical arts, so he quickly sorted out the content on it, determined that Xu Fu had indeed been working seriously during this period, and then handed this roll of silk to Nian Duan. "Master Nian Duan, take a look too!"

Nian Duan did not stand on ceremony, took the silk, and also looked at it seriously.

The Yin-Yang School's medical arts were completely different from the medical arts she mastered. To be precise, what the Yin-Yang School was good at was alchemy, and the purpose of alchemy was for cultivation and longevity. Its essence was not to treat patients at all, but after years of alchemy, the Yin-Yang School had accumulated many types of prescriptions. They could be used to treat various diseases, which were unexpected gains.

It was just like alchemists refining alchemy, not refining pills for immortality, but developing things like gunpowder.

After Nian Duan carefully read it, she put away the silk and praised Su Xuan, "Lord Master Xuantian having such a heart is truly the blessing of the people of the world!"

She remembered what Su Xuan had said to her earlier. Su Xuan was preparing to compile a medical book, recording the treatment methods for some common diseases, and then spreading them to the world.

She had thought that Su Xuan was just saying it to recruit her.

Now it seemed that Su Xuan was actually doing it.

The content recorded on this roll of silk, in Nian Duan's view, was already enough to be called a classic of the "Medical School," even if it was not actually finished.

Nian Duan spoke again, "Lord Master Xuantian has already almost finished this matter himself; I don't seem to be able to help you with anything."

Su Xuan said, "Master Nian Duan is wrong. Although my Yin-Yang School also knows some medical arts, we are not specialized in this after all. This roll of silk, although it also includes some prescriptions, is still mostly alchemy prescriptions, and many of the medicinal herbs in it are not things that ordinary people can find."

"Therefore, it still needs an expert of the Medical School like Master Nian Duan to proofread and change it!"

"｀ 」Master Nian Duan, I am serious. Please consider my earlier proposal again!"

Nian Duan fell silent again.

Su Xuan's earliest proposal was to invite her to join the Qin State, with the Qin Wang funding the establishment of schools to specifically train doctors.

But this proposal was rejected by her, and then it turned into joining the Yin-Yang School, teaching Yin-Yang School disciples, and compiling a medical book of the world.

The former, because of some selfishness, she did not want to be too deeply involved with the upper-class people of the various states, so she refused. But the latter, if the medical book could be compiled, it could truly benefit the people.

She couldn't help but be tempted.

Before coming to the Yin-Yang School this time, she had thought for a long time, but she had never been able to get an answer.

This time, following the Six-Fingered Black Knight into the Yin-Yang School was also to take the opportunity to find the answer.

Thinking of Su Xuan letting the Six-Fingered Black Knight improve those wooden devices earlier, through Su Xuan and the Six-Fingered Black Knight's words, she also knew that those were agricultural tools. If they could be improved, they could improve the plowing (Nuqian) and sowing levels of farmers.

Nian Duan couldn't help but ask Su Xuan the doubt in her heart, "You seem very obsessed with helping the common people?"

"Whether it is popularizing medical arts or improving agricultural tools, in essence, it is to help more people."

"It is truly hard to imagine that someone like you would be the Yin-Yang School Sect Master!"

Su Xuan said, "In your view, what should the Yin-Yang School Sect Master be like? High and mighty, only speaking of the Heavenly Dao, opening and closing one's mouth, all speaking of destiny, or ghosts and gods?"

"Donghuang Taiyi might be like this, but I am not."

"Because in my view, the Hundred Schools of Thought, or the emperors and generals, are not necessarily more noble than the common people at the bottom. Life, in essence, is all the same."

"Rather than talking about mysteries, it is better to care more about some more practical problems!"

"The Way of the Sage is no different from the daily use of the people!"
