Chapter 250: The Exchange of the Prescription

"No, she also provided me with a prescription for the Feibai Pill. You refine the Feibai Pill according to the prescription, and once I use it to lift the curse, I can leave the village without the Sheep Hollow Gui knowing. Then I just need to kill the Sheep Hollow Gui's Gui Zhi, and I'll be out of danger for good — the Sheep Hollow Gui swarm will disperse on its own."

A prescription?!

Fang Yue had deliberately hidden this matter earlier, so when An Shenyi heard it now, his eyes nearly lit up.

For a physician, a new prescription is more thrilling than a naked woman.

As mentioned before, if An Shenyi wanted to research a never-before-seen method to resolve the curse, it would require a very long period of study.

The final pill he came up with might not even work.

But a ready-made prescription like this was simply priceless — a treasure beyond value.

One prescription, as long as the materials were sufficient, could produce an unlimited number of pills!

And this was a prescription brought out by a sect Elder — it was certainly a fully mature prescription, requiring no adjustments at all, ready to be put into use directly. That was far better than An Shenyi working behind closed doors.

Earlier, An Shenyi had said it would take at least three months to research a method to lift the Sheep Hollow Gui's curse.

But that was only the minimum time. If it couldn't be solved right away and dragged on, it could take years — curses had never been simple.

Besides, hadn't An Shenyi just been overshadowed by Luo Shenyi, losing his title as the number one Divine Doctor of the Heiqing Shanmai?

But now, if he could get his hands on the Feibai Pill prescription, everything would turn around… He could reclaim his position as the number one Divine Doctor of the Heiqing Shanmai!

Thinking of this, An Shenyi excitedly said: "Quick, Yeye, quick, let me see the prescription!"

"I'll naturally give you the prescription, but I obtained it through a trade with Ni Dongmei. So before I give it to you, I have one condition to state."

"A condition?"

An Shenyi was stunned for a moment: "What condition? Oh, I get it, you want me to release Niu Niu, right? No problem! Give me the prescription, and Niu Niu is yours!"

Fang Yue:???

What's the use of me redeeming Niu Niu?

"No, no, An Shenyi, you've misunderstood. Niu Niu is yours — how could I take someone's beloved? What I want is… to learn medicine from you."

"Learn medicine from me? You're abandoning martial arts for medicine? That's… putting the cart before the horse. Medicine can't kill Gui, it can only make money."

Fang Yue's face darkened. He stretched out a hand and clenched it into a fist: "I'm going to dual-cultivate! Medicine, martial arts — I want them all!"

An Shenyi shook his head: "Grasp too much and you can't chew it well. I know you're a martial arts genius, but medicine also requires talent. And it demands a great deal of time… Forget it, judging by your look, nothing I say will change your mind. Here's the deal — I'll give you a medical text I compiled earlier, and you can study it slowly on your own. If you can work through it, I'll then pass on my unique medical skills and everything I've learned in my life."

For anyone else, trading a prescription for An Shenyi's medical skills would be a fool's dream.

But Fang Yue was different — first, his relationship with Lord Han; second, the two of them had shared life and death together in the escort party several times, a bond forged through near-death experiences.

If this had been back in Gu Yue Cun, when Fang Yue asked to learn An Shenyi's medical skills, An Shenyi would probably have rolled his eyes to death and refused to teach him a single thing.

"A medical text, huh…"

Fang Yue felt a little hesitant in his heart.

He had heard from a player in Gu Yue Cun, Zhanshu Huxi Hu, that learning medicine by only reading medical texts was like holding a thick, hefty encyclopedia and reading it bit by bit.

It was exactly like relearning a subject from scratch — starting from zero — the difficulty was off the charts.

Zhanshu Huxi Hu had some basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine in real life, which barely caught the eye of Hong Dafu in Gu Yue Cun, earning him an apprentice position.

But even someone like him would complain every day that the game's medical texts were utterly brutal, practically torturous.

Fang Yue did want to learn medicine — after all, in the wild, knowing medicine or not meant two completely different survival rates.

But gnawing through a thick medical text like biting into a hard bone still made him a little scared.

"An Shenyi, the moment I see a thick medical text I get drowsy. Isn't there a more convenient method?"

"I've said it before — learning medicine is the same as practicing martial arts, you can only walk step by step, one footprint at a time. I'll give you the medical text later. Get used to it first, see if you can handle it. If you can't, just honestly give up the idea."

Fang Yue sighed. It could only be so.

He gave the Feibai Pill prescription to An Shenyi, who immediately acted as though he'd obtained a treasure and threw himself into frantic study.

Fang Yue tried calling out to him twice, but he was deaf to everything, his two eyes seemingly glowing.

What a joke! A new prescription, a new pill — this was a massive business opportunity!!

What did a massive business opportunity mean? It meant a sea of money!

Seeing that An Shenyi was completely ignoring him, Fang Yue stood up in mild frustration and said: "Alright, An Shenyi, you keep researching. When you're done, call me, and we'll discuss it together, then decide whether to refine the Feibai Pill. Also, the Blood Hunter asked me to come by earlier — I'll head there now. When you're done here, just have someone notify me."

The Blood Hunter was right in the medical hall. If An Shenyi needed anything, he just had to shout, and Fang Yue could rush back immediately.

Although An Shenyi was absorbed in the prescription, he wasn't truly deaf to Fang Yue's words. He waved his hand to show he'd heard, then ignored Fang Yue again.

Unlike Fang Yue, An Shenyi could actually read those things that looked like tadpole script. Moreover, he paused for a long while at every herb he saw, thinking it through — he wasn't planning to simply copy the herbs from the prescription and dive straight into operation.

Clearly, An Shenyi intended to thoroughly digest this prescription and enrich himself.

When it came to medical arts, if there was never any exchange with others, one would gradually hit a bottleneck.

An Shenyi himself was the number one Divine Doctor of the Heiqing Shanmai — the only one he could exchange with was his rival, Luo Shenyi. But Luo Shenyi was so greedy that he had no desire to share his own knowledge with others and help them make money.

So all An Shenyi could do was work behind closed doors. Now, with a new prescription, it was like opening up a whole new territory for him. After fully digesting the prescription, his medical arts would surely see a great improvement.

But this had little to do with Fang Yue.

Leaving the room, Fang Yue headed straight for the Blood Hunter.

"You're here?"

The Blood Hunter noticed Fang Yue right away and smiled.

His mood seemed to have suddenly improved quite a bit.

This struck Fang Yue as a little strange.

This guy — his self-adjustment ability was that strong? Recovered from such a huge blow that quickly?

Putting himself in the other's shoes, Fang Yue felt he definitely wouldn't be able to adjust his mood so quickly.

"You had someone look for me earlier — what was it about?"

"Come over and sit down first."

Once Fang Yue sat beside the sickbed, the Blood Hunter seemed a little hesitant. After a while, he slowly began to speak.
