Chapter 253: Chapter 253
Soon, he figured it out, his face showing complete surprise. For a long time he couldn't speak, finally saying, "You mean to say this prescription was written by you? You're not lying to me... Hey, where is he?"
Only then did Men Wei discover that Xiaoyao was no longer here, he had already left long ago, just when he was in a daze!
Xiaoyao had no obligation to wait for him to react. His stomach was hungry now, eating breakfast was most important.
"Senior Brother, he left long ago to eat breakfast," someone nearby reminded him.
"I need to go ask clearly whether he really has such medical skills," Men Wei said, while thinking to himself: I don't believe it. He's so much younger than me, how could he possibly have such advanced medical skills?
When Men Wei and the others arrived at the main hall, they easily found Xiaoyao because he was too conspicuous at the moment. He alone occupied a table covered with breakfast items, steamed buns, char siu bao, shrimp dumplings, fried dough sticks, tofu pudding, and so on. Everything was there.
This quantity could probably be eaten even with the addition of Men Wei and his group. At that time, Men Wei and others suspected Xiaoyao had also ordered for them and was waiting for them to come.
But soon they knew they were wrong. Xiaoyao had no intention of treating them to breakfast. All these things were what he wanted, or rather what his pet wanted.
Watching Chi Chi eat plate after plate of breakfast items without any sign of being full, everyone would understand why Xiaoyao had ordered so much food.
What kind of monster beast was this? How could such a small body be so good at eating? And why would Xiaoyao raise such a gluttonous little monster beast? Xiaoyao didn't look very wealthy, raising such a pet should be quite difficult.
However, in this martial world, all kinds of things happened and all kinds of strange people existed. This was nothing unusual!
"Do you have anything else?" Xiaoyao saw Men Wei and others approaching and said while finding time to speak, then immediately went back to eating. He was afraid that if he was late, Chi Chi would eat all the food, most importantly, eat the food he wanted to eat.
"I want to..." Men Wei suddenly stopped. He originally wanted to continue asking whether Xiaoyao really possessed such medical skills, but thinking that if he continued asking, it would seem very offensive, even he himself felt this.
If Xiaoyao really possessed such medical skills, then he was someone worthy of respect. His attitude toward him seemed very rude.
Although Men Wei was somewhat arrogant, he wasn't excessive, and he respected the medical path greatly. He would respect those stronger than him in medicine.
It was precisely because Xiaoyao had superior medical skills that he now began to take Xiaoyao seriously, feeling his attitude was somewhat inappropriate. He didn't want to continue questioning but use another method to ask. This method was to ask about medical matters, to compete in medical skills verbally.
Men Wei began competing in medical skills, and Xiaoyao accepted because he also liked it. This was also a way to advance medical skills. You didn't necessarily need to find people stronger than yourself, those weaker also had things worth learning. This was the biggest difference between Xiaoyao and some people. He could learn from everyone, and this was also why he could be stronger than others even without famous teachers' guidance.
At this time, he was just competing with others while eating breakfast, not wasting time. Why not enjoy it? Content orıginally comes from N()velFire.net
The more Men Wei competed, the more surprised he became. Even if he couldn't confirm whether Xiaoyao could really write that prescription, he could confirm that Xiaoyao's medical skills were not simple and might be much stronger than his own. When Xiaoyao competed with him, he was so casual, answering fluently, never pausing.
For this reason, he deliberately increased the difficulty, even bringing out some questions that could stump the elders in his sect. But the result was the same. Xiaoyao's answers still had no hesitation, that casual manner making it impossible to stump him.
Now he was beginning to believe that Xiaoyao might really be the person who wrote that prescription!
"Mr. Xiaoyao, would you be interested in visiting Medicine Immortal Ridge? We welcome you," Men Wei said after confirming Xiaoyao's medical skills.
"Medicine Immortal Ridge, sure. Can I borrow your medical books to read?" Xiaoyao nodded. He had no reason to refuse. Medicine Immortal Ridge's medical arts had many rare texts that would help him.
"This... I think ordinary medical books should be fine, but the sect's treasured classics might not work," Men Wei said somewhat embarrassedly.
However, his embarrassment seemed completely unnecessary because Xiaoyao didn't think he could see others' treasured classics. He had known this long ago, this wasn't what he wanted.
Therefore, Xiaoyao said very indifferently, "You mean the Medicine Immortal Classic? That doesn't matter, as long as I can see the others."
"You know about the Medicine Immortal Classic? Well yes, anyone who practices medicine should know about it," Men Wei said with some pride. The Medicine Immortal Classic was not only their sect's supreme classic but also the supreme classic of the entire continent. Anyone studying medicine wanted to see it.
At this time, he thought Xiaoyao was indifferent because Xiaoyao knew it was impossible to obtain, not because Xiaoyao didn't care. But in fact, Xiaoyao really didn't care. Reading one more Medicine Immortal Classic would help him a bit more in knowledge, but other medical books could also achieve this.
Xiaoyao wanted to learn, but that didn't mean he had to learn. When he studied various skills, he didn't necessarily have to learn each skill to the highest and best level, he just wanted to comprehend the Way within. This Way didn't require reaching the peak, as long as he could do better, he didn't force it.
Working hard at something didn't mean forcing something, there was an essential difference!
Xiaoyao's Way was four simple words: following nature's law. Everything was natural, no need to force!
"If it's just this, there shouldn't be any problem. I believe the sect master will agree," Men Wei said. The sect master would definitely agree. This young man's medical skills would certainly interest the sect master and lead to exchanges.
"Then let's leave after finishing breakfast!" Xiaoyao said.
"Mm, good!" Men Wei nodded, waiting on the side.
"Have you all eaten?" Xiaoyao asked somewhat puzzledly. Why weren't they eating, just waiting on the side?
"Yes, we've already eaten, just now while waiting for you..." Men Wei said. Actually, they hadn't stood at Xiaoyao's door for long just now, everyone had eaten before coming.
"Oh, that's fine then. Once this little glutton finishes the food on the table and we pack some to go, we can leave. Very quickly!" Xiaoyao said with a smile.
Finish everything and pack more to go? Everyone looked at the food on the table in a daze. At this moment, they also discovered that what had originally been a full table of breakfast items seemed to have been eliminated by more than half. At this rate, the table would indeed be cleared very quickly.
"Do you have anything else?" Xiaoyao asked during his free time. This question wasn't directed at Men Wei and others but at those farmers, who hadn't left at this time.
If they were just leading the way, then they should have completed their mission and retired by now. And now they shouldn't need Xiaoyao to treat anyone either, because people from Medicine Immortal Ridge had appeared, and their fellow villagers' illnesses should be fine too. So Xiaoyao was somewhat puzzled.
"Don't call me Divine Doctor. I'm not a professional physician. If you insist, just call me Little Doctor, someone seems to call me that. A small, small doctor in this mortal world!" Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"Little Doctor... we're going to Medicine Immortal Ridge with you. All the patients from our village have gone there. They say this illness needs the old immortal doctors to make the decision," those farmers said very respectfully. The "old immortal doctors" they mentioned were the older generation of Medicine Immortal Ridge, and they respectfully called all Medicine Immortal Ridge people "immortal doctors."
However, at this time, they felt this Little Doctor Xiaoyao was even more impressive than the immortal doctors, because Xiaoyao could cure their illness in just a few moves, while these immortal doctors still needed to consult the old immortal doctors before daring to treat.
At the same time, to put it another way, even if those old immortal doctors came, they felt it wouldn't be as fast as Xiaoyao, because the time Xiaoyao spent was too little. No matter how fast, it couldn't be much faster, only slower.
"Oh, I see. Very good, then you take good care of them," Xiaoyao nodded. The meaning in his words was that he wouldn't treat them anymore, even if he encountered them, because these were already someone else's patients.
If others couldn't cure them, then he might take a look, but if others could cure them, then interfering would be very problematic!
Soon, Xiaoyao ordered some takeout, then headed to Medicine Immortal Ridge...
On the way to Medicine Immortal Ridge, Xiaoyao discovered there seemed to be quite a few people along the route, and they all seemed to be martial world people. A bit strange, but he didn't take it to heart. They were probably all coming for medical treatment, having many people seeking medical help was very normal.
At this time, Xiaoyao didn't know that a major martial world event was happening at Medicine Immortal Ridge, not just any major event, but one that would affect the entire martial world situation and even the entire realm.
At Medicine Immortal Ridge, a major orthodox alliance meeting was being held. Almost all orthodox sects had sent people, so it was extremely lively now. But with many people came many disputes. With so many sect members together, there were bound to be many incidents. Conflicts and friction between different sects were numerous, with fights breaking out from time to time and people getting injured daily.
Now everyone seemed to realize that choosing Medicine Immortal Ridge as the meeting venue was a very wise choice, they could seek medical help nearby. Medicine Immortal Ridge also welcomed these martial world people because it not only provided practical experience for disciples but also collected medical fees. Why not enjoy it?
