Chapter 790: Xulingzi (4200 Supplement)

To put it plainly, "Jiaoli" is a type of antibiotic that Aaron is preparing to produce.

There were no antibiotics in ancient times; in historical records, even emperors, prime ministers, generals, and high-ranking officials often died from causes like "back carbuncles."

In terms of antibacterial properties, Chinese herbal medicine is clearly not as immediate as antibiotics.

A single Fire Jujube cannot cure every illness, but combined with Jiaoli, it is just about enough.

Aaron brought this out naturally to better play the role of a charlatan.

After all, he has the experience of traveling through multiple worlds; even without a Golden Finger, he could rise to power after lying low for a period.

However, regarding critical products like gunpowder and Chemical Fertilizer, his plan is that he must produce them, but he cannot do so immediately. Because he lacks influence and a power base, producing them would only benefit others for nothing. After all, the anti-theft level of these two is too low; once launched on a large scale, they would be easily imitated, leading to the spread of the technology.

However, due to the world's limitations, even the smartest monkeys or foxes, no matter how well-trained they are to be human-like, are limited to understanding and executing commands.

"That's alright... but I still lack the power to protect myself... Or, should I go find a fierce beast to serve as a Protector?"

He lacks a sense of security the most.

"Jiaoli and Fire Jujube can cure a hundred illnesses; if they can be promoted, they will surely benefit the common people, and the merit will be immeasurable."

"I only know a little, just a little."

"But in reality, even if I mastered Sword Control Technique... under the framework of this world, I'm afraid it would only be within ten zhang, with Sword Light coming and going, operating as I wish... wanting to use Sword Control for Flight is just a dream."

Aaron laughed heartily.

Provincial Graduate Gu replied calmly: "But this father knows that at least the Fire Jujube is real; isn't that enough?"

He waved his hand, and Gu Yue respectfully brought over a blank Daoist Certificate.

On the ox cart.

"So it is Brother Wu..."

Otherwise, once he went out to play the charlatan, it would be very easy to be labeled a heretic.

This is the fool's foolproof method of debate!

"Fate, what exactly is it?"

Brother Wu gratefully put down the gift and ate a jujube; the wounds on his body healed rapidly.

Aaron sighed slightly.

Provincial Graduate Gu smiled: "So the young friend also knows how to divine?"

Therefore, he uses divination every day to predict his own fortune, preparing to flee immediately should the result be Great Ominous.

Subsequently, the result emerged in his heart—"Small Ominous"!

He paused, took out a few copper coins, tossed them on the table, assumed a divining posture, and then said: "This person... may have a Small Ominous sign recently!"

Aaron recognized him as the hunter who lived on the edge of the village: "You must be tired from the journey; eat a jujube to quench your thirst."

At the same time, he received another piece of information:

【Qi Points exceeded 100, Beast Taming Technique has been unlocked!】

Gu Yue had endured it the whole way and finally could not help but ask.

In the afternoon, Provincial Graduate Gu visited in person: "Brother Fang is a master from beyond the world and should not be disturbed by worldly affairs, but when traveling the world, having a Daoist Certificate is always a good thing."

"Many thanks."

Fan Tong naturally did not dare to come to Aaron to beg for medicine and could only endure it.

"This kind of strength, while enough to roam the world with a sword, would still see my body—which is still that of an ordinary person—die if I encountered a siege by a large army of government soldiers, even if I killed ten or a hundred of them, as they would fire ten thousand arrows at once..."

Aaron looked at Fan Tong and silently activated "Divination".

Provincial Graduate Gu smiled and pointed casually at Fan Tong.

Provincial Graduate Gu sighed with emotion.

"Since that is the case, why not calculate what this person's recent fortune is like?"

'As expected of "Gold Juren, Silver Presented Scholar," this move is two hundred taels of silver...'

"Good, it seems that playing the charlatan and befriending local powerful families is indeed much faster than preaching myself..."

'So-called divination is nothing more than showing goodwill and building a reputation for the other party?' Gu Yue was not stupid and already had a guess in his heart: 'Or... is it the other party's hint? For us to make Fan Tong's fortune turn ominous?!'

For example, at this moment, Fan Tong is about to have a Small Ominous sign, but if someone were to throw him into a steel prison, guarded by heavy troops on all sides with strict Protection, could it still be ominous?

Will the fate of this world follow its development and turn the ominous into the auspicious... or will the Backlash of misfortune descend, turning the Small Ominous into Great Ominous?

He was also looking forward to this.

"However, regardless of which one it is, it is actually just the way Fate operates..."

Speaking, or even transforming, is a bit of a fantasy.

You talk to me about morality, I talk to you about divination!

In short, one must pull the opponent into a field one is good at, and then defeat them with rich experience!

"Brother is indeed a member of the Taoism..."

Aaron felt disdain in his heart but said sternly: "My Taoism emphasizes affinity; I have an affinity with this village, but as for the affinity with the people of the world... it is hard to say. I cast a hexagram earlier; if I promote it rashly, it might lead to Great Ominous."

"I wonder if Brother has a Daoist name?" Provincial Graduate Gu asked again.

Provincial Graduate Gu did not commit himself, chatted with Aaron for a few more sentences, and then took his leave.

Aaron cursed viciously: "I still need to unlock higher skills as soon as possible, such as Dragon-Elephant Strength combined with Diamond Indestructible Body; only then will I have a bit of security..."

Aaron nodded and chatted with Brother Wu for a while longer.

What he lacks most right now is the means to save his life and kill the enemy.

Being a charlatan is a very dangerous profession!

"So that's how it is..."

To be honest, he didn't understand the principles of divination in this world either.

"As for fortune-telling, minor details are easy to change, but the grand trend is hard to reverse; it's actually of no great use, but I am still willing to give it a try, just for a laugh."

"Father... is what that person said about the divination true?"

"Beast taming? Pity, it's not sword controlling..."

"I don't know either..."

The so-called 'Beast Taming Technique' is equivalent to using the spirituality of the 'Tower' to awaken the intelligence of animals, thereby allowing them to be slightly driven.

Just like that, a few more days passed.

"What the hell kind of trash Golden Finger is this?"

After all, he had tried making things like allicin before.

Aaron chuckled inwardly, but on the surface, he said solemnly: "Many thanks."

Aaron rubbed his chin, feeling somewhat regretful.

Conversely, small-scale preparation of things like antibiotics, used only for a few people, was something Aaron could completely handle by himself to ensure secrecy.

"So that's how it is."

Aaron was yawning out of boredom when he saw a hunter enter, his hand wrapped in a bandage, while his other hand carried a roe deer.

'Trying to use moral kidnapping on me? Once it's truly promoted, won't you people be the first to profit?'

Aaron immersed his mind into the panel and was delighted to see that his Qi Points had already broken through 100!

He wore a look of shock and suspicion, unwrapped the torn cloth, and almost wanted to kowtow to Aaron: "Many thanks to Brother Fang for saving me... Sigh, a white tiger recently appeared on the mountain, doing evil everywhere; today it almost hurt someone... Even the village head was so scared he fell into a ditch, broke his leg, and will have to lie in bed for at least several months."

He admitted his identity, intending to obtain a Daoist Certificate through the influence of the Gu Family.

At the same moment, after sending away the anxious Fan Tong, Aaron was also sighing to himself.

"I've already thought of this, let's call it—Xulingzi!"

Aaron answered with a smile.
