Chapter 1501: Chapter 1501

Hua Yingjie nodded and then began to share the story of the grievances between the Heavenly Medicine Sect and the Medical Immortal Workshop.

The founders of the Heavenly Medicine Sect were two sworn brothers. They grew up together and, during their travels around the world, they accidentally came across an Ancient Medical Book, which contained astonishing medical knowledge,

Unfortunately, the book was so old that it was already damaged, with many parts blurred and unclear. Nevertheless, the two brothers knew it was a treasure and immediately found a place to study it, eventually becoming Divine Doctors.

However, because the book was incomplete, the two brothers often had to rely on their own understanding when cultivating their medical skills, which resulted in their skills differing and disagreements arising between them.

At the time, because they were sworn brothers, any disagreements were handled properly, and they each cultivated their skills in their own way without affecting one another.

After achieving great success in their medical skills, they joined forces to establish the then-renowned Heavenly Medicine Sect, opened their sect, and recruited disciples to pass on their teachings.

From the beginning, the Heavenly Medicine Sect was divided into two different factions, each accepting the different legacies of the two founding ancestors.

For many years, the sect master of the Heavenly Medicine Sect was always a member of the Hua Family, because back then, the ancestor of the Hua Family was the elder brother and therefore was supposed to hold power.

Over time, both factions produced outstanding talents, marking the most glorious era of the Heavenly Medicine Sect.

After the two ancestors passed away, problems arose within the Heavenly Medicine Sect, and the two major factions began to fight each other, both wanting to gain control of the sect.

At that time, people from the two factions fought against each other, killing amongst themselves, and this situation persisted for a long time. In the end, the Hua Family never relinquished power.

Out of anger, everyone from the other faction split from the Heavenly Medicine Sect and established their own sect, forming the Medical Immortal Workshop.

"Wow, by your account, the Medical Immortal Workshop should be like the child of the Heavenly Medicine Sect."

Hearing this, Tang Ming couldn’t help but wonder, "Then how did the Heavenly Medicine Sect fall to such a state of decline under the repression of its ’child’?"

"This... is partly due to its own reasons."

Hua Yingjie laughed awkwardly, "When they first split, the Heavenly Medicine Sect always considered itself the direct lineage and regarded the Medical Immortal Workshop as a side branch, often suppressing and excluding them. Later, the Medical Immortal Workshop somehow allied with a powerful Hidden Sect, and their strength skyrocketed, reverse oppressing the Heavenly Medicine Sect until it couldn’t breathe."

"Haha, three decades east of the river, four decades west—it’s really such a dramatic twist."

Tang Ming couldn’t help but laugh.

"You can actually find this funny? If I had known, I wouldn’t have told you."

Hua Yingjie’s face turned somewhat unpleasant. He hadn’t mentioned these things before for fear of being mocked, and Tang Ming had now actually laughed at him.

"Sorry, sorry, it was my mistake, I apologize to you."

Tang Ming quickly suppressed his laughter, "Brother, I didn’t mean anything by it. Thirty years east of the river, forty years west—and while your sect is currently in decline, I believe you will surely revive it."

"Right! Now that I have money, I no longer have to worry about living expenses and can focus on researching medical skills, striving to become a Divine Doctor soon and cure the incurable diseases that the Medical Immortal Workshop cannot."

Hua Yingjie declared firmly.

"Then why did you come to the university?"

Tang Ming’s curiosity was piqued again, "With the mystical medical book in your sect, your ancestors could establish a sect with their medical skills, why can’t you use the book to revive it now?"

"The book can indeed be used to learn some things, but the problem is that it’s currently split in half, with the other half in the hands of the Medical Immortal Workshop."

Hua Yingjie sighed helplessly, "Also, given my shallow knowledge, the concepts in the book are too profound, and even in its incomplete form, I might not comprehend it even if it were complete."

Hearing this, Tang Ming’s mouth twitched slightly. Given his level, he was serious about reviving the sect—was he joking?

"Of course, the main issue is that I don’t have the complete medical skills. Otherwise, if my ancestor could comprehend such medical skills, so can I."

Hua Yingjie nodded solemnly, "Since I only have half of the book, I must seek other methods to compensate for the shortcomings, which is why I enrolled in the medical department at Imperial University, hoping to learn Western medicine. Combining Chinese and Western knowledge, I will be more confident in defeating the Medical Immortal Workshop in the future."

"Not bad, a good idea."

Tang Ming nodded in agreement with Hua Yingjie’s perspective.

The Medical Immortal Workshop and the Heavenly Medicine Sect share a common lineage, and what Hua Yingjie can learn from the book, the Medical Immortal Workshop should also be able to learn, at most resulting in a tie.

Now, given that Hua Yingjie is taking a unique approach by studying Western medicine, he genuinely might have a chance to defeat the Medical Immortal Workshop.

"Brother, since we’ve gotten to know each other, if you ever need money, feel free to ask me."

Tang Ming looked at Hua Yingjie and promised with a smile, "If money can help you defeat the Medical Immortal Workshop, I will lend you a hand."

"Thank you for your kindness, but for now, money is just a means to maintain sect expenses. To defeat the Medical Immortal Workshop, it must rely on medical skills. Only this way can the Heavenly Medicine Sect regain its prestige."

Hua Yingjie stated his stance firmly.

"Then you’ve got to work hard."

Tang Ming thought for a moment and didn’t say much more. Although he was confident in his medical skills, there was no need to overly assist Hua Yingjie for now—it was too troublesome.

"Oh my, while we girls were chatting away, how come you two guys could talk so much too?"

At that moment, Li Xiaoli asked Tang Ming with a face of disbelief.

"I couldn’t join your conversation, so of course I could only have a good chat with old Hua."

Tang Ming grinned, confidently responding.

"That’s not like you. Usually, at times , you’d be all over the food, eating aggressively."

Liu Mengting glanced disdainfully at Tang Ming.

"True, true, I completely forgot about eating while chatting."

Tang Ming realized and immediately picked up his chopsticks, and started eating voraciously.

The group had a satisfying late-night meal, eating and drinking to the full and were ready to head back home.

Since Tang Ming’s car could only seat four, Hua Yingjie had to take a taxi back to Imperial University.

Tang Ming initially planned to help Hua Yingjie with his injuries, but he thought that since the guy was from a medical sect, if he helped, it might hurt his pride, so he left it at that.

Su Xiaoxi drove to Imperial University, first dropping the three girls off at the female dormitory, and then asked Chen Cang, "Which dormitory building do you live in?"

"I live in building six. You can drop off Brother Ming first because building six is quite a distance."

Sitting in the back seat, Chen Cang, holding the things he had bought today, replied without looking up.

"I’ll drop you off first."

Su Xiaoxi glanced at Chen Cang and then started the car.
