Chapter 635: Miss Ying is an expert in Ancient Medicine, encountering the top big shot [2 updates]
He hadn’t even turned around when someone called out to him.
"Xu, hold on."
Vice Dean Xu had to stop and let out a sigh, "Elder, there’s really no way, you should know my family situation, I can’t bear to see my wife suffer like this."
The researchers at the Ji Family were all like that, especially those conducting biochemical experiments, they were almost irradiated every day.
No matter how high-level the radiation protection suits are, they can’t block everything.
Many are tormented by illness, and most importantly, radiation can easily cause genetic mutations.
Some illnesses, modern medical technology has not reached that level yet, can’t be cured.
Although Vice Dean Xu’s wife didn’t have cancer, her health was very bad, with intermittent, heart-piercing pain.
"I understand your feelings, your wife is very important," the elder nodded, "You know, I was also seriously ill, I was even in the intensive care unit, but look at me now, am I not quite well?"
Vice Dean Xu was startled, then suddenly became excited, "Right, Elder, do you know someone from Ancient Medicine?"
"Whether she’s from Ancient Medicine or not, I’m not sure, but her medical skills are very strong," the elder said, "I can assure you, she can definitely cure your wife."
Hearing this, Vice Dean Xu agreed.
The illness of Madam Ji’s father was much more severe than that of his wife.
If he could be cured, then so could his wife.
"It’s not until Friday that the heir is chosen, there are still a few days left," the elder picked up his phone, "I’ll ask her first, if it’s not possible, you go ahead and do what you think is right, I won’t force it."
Vice Dean Xu had looked after Mr. and Mrs. Ji Yihang for so many years without asking for anything in return.
But the elder believed, curing Mrs. Xu’s illness would be a breeze for Ying Zijin.
**
Ancient medical field.
Ying Zijin made another trip to the Pill Alliance; this time, she went to schedule her assessment.
The assessments of the Pill Alliance must start from level one, and you cannot skip levels.
The content of the level one assessment is refining medicine.
It’s the simplest, the Health-preserving Pill.
The Health-preserving Pill can also be taken by ordinary people, it’s that kind which prolongs life and strengthens the body, and it’s not those fake health products that deceive the elderly in the market.
Ying Zijin thought they lacked flavor, and specifically improved it a bit, refining various flavors to carry around like candy beans.
She particularly liked the chocolate flavor.
After the reservation was complete, Ying Zijin received a call from Wen Fengmian.
After listening, she pondered for a moment, "Okay, I’ll come over now and have a look, according to this description, it doesn’t sound difficult to treat."
Ying Zijin, considering the symptoms of Mrs. Xu, thought for a while, and went to the Medicine Repository to buy several types of medicinal materials.
All at once, she spent quite a lot of money.
After all, the currency in the Ancient medical field and the Ancient Martial World is ten times that of the outside world.
She needed to go back and have her dad reimburse her.
Yun Shan followed behind Ying Zijin, constantly scanning the surroundings.
Not far from the Pill Alliance, they passed by a garden.
An elderly woman was sitting at the entrance of the garden, advanced in years with gray hair.
"Young lady, could you help me clear the weeds in this field?" she heard footsteps and lifted her head tremblingly, "I’m old, my eyes are dim, and I can’t see clearly."
Yun Shan was taken aback. Before he could speak, he saw the girl pause her step and was already stepping forward.
He hurriedly followed, but once inside, he was somewhat stunned.
It was a piece of land that had only recently been cultivated, with the green sprouts of plants just emerging.
At a glance, it was impossible to tell which ones were deliberately planted.
"Old, old lady, which ones are the weeds?"
"My eyes are not good, I can’t see," she replied.
Yun Shan: "..."
Ying Zijin squatted down, her eyes flickering slightly.
She sniffed, then reached out and grabbed a blade of grass.
"Miss Ying, if you pull the wrong one—"
Yun Shan hadn’t finished his sentence before Ying Zijin had already crisply pulled that blade of grass out.
Yun Shan’s heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively looked back at the old woman.
The old lady showed no reaction but instead nodded her head, seemingly satisfied.
Yun Shan breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss Ying, do you know how to distinguish them?"
He himself was an ancient martial artist, with vision far surpassing that of an ordinary person, yet he could not discern any difference.
"Hmm, you wouldn’t recognize them," Ying Zijin continued pulling weeds, "These medicinal materials at the start don’t look any different from weeds, you need to use eyes, nose, and ears to judge, missing even a little won’t do."
She paused, then sighed softly, "Such rare medicinal materials."
She had just glanced over and in this one patch of the medicinal field, there were ten plants of the Fire Lotus Fruit.
A mature Fire Lotus Fruit, if sold on the NOK forum, starts at hundreds of thousands of US dollars.
No, it should be a lot of money.
Yun Shan had not expected that the land here was planted with medicinal herbs. He asked, "Miss Ying, the young master has a share he can allot to help you plan out a ten-acre medicinal herb field. If you need it, I will report to him right away."
Medicinal fields cultivated by Ancient Medicine Families have specially treated soil, and these lands were all controlled by several Ancient Medicine families.
Hearing this, Ying Zijin raised her eyebrows, "Who said I’m going to grow medicinal herbs? I don’t know the first thing about it."
Yun Shan was stunned, "Ah?"
In his eyes, Miss Ying was capable of anything.
Ying Zijin did not reply but continued weeding in the medicinal field.
It wasn’t entirely true that she was clueless, since she had never really considered this aspect.
Rare medicinal herbs were always divided into two types.
Those naturally born, having endured wind and rain, and years of passing time, retained their essence in the most perfect way.
The other type, cultivated by humans, required much more demanding conditions.
She was rather lazy and had never touched the aspect of growing medicinal herbs.
Growing medicinal herbs was indeed exhausting work.
Back in the Spirit Cultivation World, whenever she needed any medicine, her good friend would bring it to her directly.
Latter, they even gifted her a medicinal garden with an abundance of seeds she could never use up.
Having returned to Earth, medicinal herbs had indeed become a problem.
The main issue was, the money spent on buying medicines was truly too much.
With that amount of money, she would rather invest in Chuguang Media, hiring a few more beautiful actresses for the company.
Soon, Ying Zijin had cleared all the weeds in the field.
"Thank you, young lady," said the old lady, standing up. She was walking slowly, holding a green round fruit in her hand, "I don’t have much today, but take this fruit to quench your thirst, please don’t refuse."
Ying Zijin paused, then accepted without offending her, "You’re too kind."
As the old lady walked back in, she said, "It’s getting late, it’s better for a young girl not to stay outside alone, it’s quite dangerous."
Yun Shan: "???"
Did the old lady not consider him a person in her eyes?
Just because he couldn’t distinguish which plants were medicinal herbs and which were just grass?
"This isn’t a physical illness, elder," Ying Zijin, holding the fruit, suddenly spoke up, "It’s a heart condition, a serious one, with damage to the heart meridians. Without treatment, I fear there isn’t much time left."
Yun Shan listened, scratching his head in bewilderment.
Miss Ying was never part of the Ancient medical field; how come she spoke with such an elegant and native accent?
Hearing that, the old lady’s body stiffened, but she did not respond and continued walking with her cane.
Ying Zijin did not linger either and left the garden.
Looking at the green round fruit in her hand, she mused, "This is a fifty-year-old Green Ginseng Fruit."
"Green Ginseng Fruit?!" Yun Shan’s face split in shock, "Used to quench thirst?!"
Green Ginseng Fruit was not considered an extremely rare medicinal material, but most were around twenty years old.
Fifty-year-old ones were basically unseen.
The Judicial Hall had once only received two forty-year-old ones, one of which was put up for auction and eventually sold for one million.
This TM was considered by the old lady something merely to quench thirst? freewēbnoveℓ.com
Yun Shan suddenly realized, "Miss Ying, the Tea Saint! She must be the Tea Saint! No wonder you went to help her."
Apart from the Tea Saint, who else could grow a fifty-year portion of Green Ginseng Fruit?
Everyone wanted a favor from the Tea Saint.
Knowing the Tea Saint meant access to first-hand precious medicinal materials.
But why was the Tea Saint here?
Wasn’t she supposed to be on that mountain over there?
"No, it made me think of my grandfather," Ying Zijin looked up, her phoenix eyes slightly squinted, gazing calmly at the sky, "If someday he is outside and I’m not by his side, and he needs help but there’s no one to assist, he must feel very sad."
It was just empathy, after all.
What goes around comes around.
Indeed, doing good deeds could accumulate blessings and luck.

After refining the bought medicinal materials, Ying Zijin asked Yun Shan to stay with the Ye Family while she went to visit the Ji Family for a while.
She went to the residence of Vice Dean Xu.
Mr. and Mrs. Ji Yihang and Wen Fengmian were all present.
Ying Zijin nodded in greeting, "Dad, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Elder."
Vice Dean Xu was pondering whether Madam Ji’s father, an elder of the Ji Family, would truly not deceive him.
But upon seeing the girl so young, not even twenty years old, he really couldn’t believe it.
Vice Dean Xu, after all, had been at the Research Institute for more than a decade. Although he never visited the Ancient Martial World or the Ancient medical field, he had heard of a few young ancient medicine experts.
There was no need to mention Lin Qingjia, at twenty-two years old, a unique genius who practiced both ancient medicine and ancient martial arts.
