Chapter 857: Big Liar

At the mention of this, Uncle Sun’s expression drooped and he glared at her angrily. “Previously, I asked you to learn medicine from me, but you refused. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have to show my face outside at such an old age and work so hard to choose a successor. Hmph!”

Moreover, when she learned about incense and medicine, not only could she restore lost recipes, but she could also constantly innovate on the basis of a type of incense and create a brand new incense recipe or medicine.

For example, the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill, her ointments, and the Tianze Fragrance Pill were all not inferior to medicinal pills.

Incense and medicine came from the same source. They were indispensable for mixing, treating, and nourishing. Almost all spices also had medicinal properties when they were fragrant. Blending incense medicine or prescriptions typically required a huge amount of pharmacology learning and rich knowledge of Dao medicine to support it.

This was why he valued Yu Youyao.

His talent was not as good as Yu Youyao’s, so he was still lacking in studying the wisdom of his predecessors.

However, Yu Youyao could innovate.

Now that he was choosing a successor, he could also choose good students with talent, perseverance, and temperament. However, it was difficult to find someone like Yu Youyao, who could bring Daoist medicine to greater heights.

He couldn’t help but feel regretful. Every time he saw her, she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

Yu Youyao looked innocent. She quickly picked up her teacup and pretended that she was drinking tea, as if she hadn’t heard him clearly.

Just this personality alone made Uncle Sun look heartbroken and helpless. “I’ve only taken a fancy to two successors in my life. One is completely uninterested in medical skills, and the other is busy elsewhere.”

Yu Youyao was a little curious. Who was the first person Uncle Sun had taken a fancy to?

Then!

Uncle Sun started nagging. “The most hateful person is that kid, Little Yin. He’s been bad since he was young. He clearly knows that I’ve traveled all over the country to choose a successor. Later, when I finally took a fancy to him, he tried his best to keep me hanging.”

This was really unexpected but reasonable. Yu Youyao looked sympathetic.

She knew it. Uncle Sun was focused on studying medicine and had given many prescriptions to others regardless of whether they knew medicine or not. According to him, “Only things that are useful to others have the value of inheritance.”

The logic was very simple. Since this prescription had helped the other party, it would naturally be passed down from generation to generation.

Therefore, Uncle Sun rarely treated people.

Why was it so easy for King Li of Zhou to invite him back to the residence to treat his blood problem?

It turned out that he had taken a fancy to Yin Huaixi and wanted to take him in as his disciple.

He deliberately sent himself to Yin Huaixi’s door.

“… Later on, he said that he’s never heard of my name and questioned my medical skills. In order to prove my medical skills, I went to the army and taught the military doctors three years of medical skills.”

“Later, he said that his father didn’t really want him to learn medicine, so I found a military doctor in the army and compiled what I had learned into a book, giving it to King Li of Zhou to show my sincerity.”

“After I finished writing the book, he felt that it was too difficult to get started with medicine. I could only write down my experience in medicine…”

In order to choose a successor, he had been completely taken advantage of. This… This was simply saddening.

Yu Youyao looked sympathetic. She cleared her throat and said righteously, “The path of medicine is difficult. Instead of aimlessly finding a successor who might or might not exist, it’s better to compile all the classics, experiences, and encounters you’ve learned from in your life into a book for future generations. Isn’t this another way of inheritance?”

“It’s true that the later scholars might not have your insights, but the medical path is long. There’s a long way to go. One has to cultivate it profoundly and tirelessly. They have to keep striving. There’s an old saying that people learn from the mistakes of their predecessors. People also seek the old and discover the new. This is the right path for an inheritance.”

Uncle Sun raised his eyebrows and snorted.

Back then, he had been fooled by Little Yin into selling himself completely. It was as if he had been sold and helped them count the money from the sale. In the end, he tied himself to their ship.

Later on, he realized that this person came from the Ghost Valley and was a big liar.

Yu Youyao sat up straight and said dignifiedly, “Although my Nineteenth Brother didn’t inherit your medical skills, he helped you write the medicine book. You’re not on the same path, but you’re better than people from the same path. You’re also acquaintances who only met for no reason.”

Uncle Sun glanced at her from the corner of his eye, but agreed with her.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have stayed in the North back then. After all, not everyone could gather hundreds of thousands of military doctors to debate medicine with him and learn from everyone.

It was also because of this that he acknowledged Yin Huaixi’s breadth of mind and knowledge.

Uncle Sun still refused to give up. He put down the teacup in his hand and said seriously, “You’ve left the Yu Residence and come to the North. Can you consider learning medicine from me?”

Seeing that Uncle Sun’s hair and beard were all white, Yu Youyao felt a lump in her throat. Even saying the word “no” made her feel that she had committed a heinous crime. She quickly picked up her tea and pretended to be dead.

She wasn’t listening. She wasn’t listening. Uncle Sun was reciting scriptures.

Uncle Sun tried his best to persuade her. “The people of the North are valiant and don’t have many rules. There are many female military doctors in the army, and incense and medicine come from the same source. You’re already very accomplished in incense and medicine, so you can learn medical skills with half the effort. You don’t have to treat illnesses and save people. You just have to practice some pharmacology and medical theories. Don’t just talk about it on paper. From now on, focus on inheriting the medical path and learn from everyone. Innovate and learn.”

Learning about incense and medicine required learning a huge amount of pharmacological and medical knowledge.

Yu Youyao maintained a sense of reverence for medical skills. It was impossible for her to become a respected doctor like Imperial Physician Shi, nor was it possible for her to spend her life studying the medical path like Uncle Sun. She couldn’t do it without distractions, nor could she bear the weight of this “inheritance.”

Uncle Sun’s mouth had dried. He finally stopped to drink his tea.

Seeing this, Butler Wen took this opportunity to speak up and help Yu Youyao out. “The Princess’s status is noble and important. The Yu Residence also needs to send troops to guard it. With the size and layout of the residence, we have to set up a guardhouse in the residence.”

Yu Youyao heaved a sigh of relief, then frowned.

She did not have a clear understanding and approval of the princess’s identity.

She also did not like to show off her status as a princess. The changes in her clothes and accessories were also on the surface, in case anyone thought that she was neglecting the rules of respect.

Butler Wen noticed the change in her emotions. Seeing that she did not raise any objections, he continued, “The Yu Residence has eight hundred-man commanders. Five of them are in charge of guarding the area outside the courtyard. Two of them are in charge of the internal defense of the courtyard. One of them is in charge of patrolling the courtyard. There are a total of 800 guards people. As the Princess was invited by His Highness, all the expenses of hiring the commanders will be borne by King Yue Fei.”

Yu Youyao had been conferred the title of imperial family member, so she should enjoy a portion of the honor of having guards. However, women of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not establish their own sects, and the Imperial Court had not bestowed the residence of a princess. It was not appropriate for her to be so blatant, lest she went overboard.

In the name of protecting Princess Shaoyi’s safety, Butler Wen had reduced most of the rules on the basis of the guards in the residence. There were only a hundred-man commanders and not thousand-man commanders. No one could find fault with it.
