Chapter 453: 453 Sister Lan, a poison-using ancestor! See you at the update (1 more).

The history of Taiyi Medical Practitioners is the longest among the Six Great Sects.

According to records, traces of Taiyi Medical Practitioners had already appeared during the Yanhuang Era.

The story of Shennong testing hundreds of herbs marks the origin of Taiyi Medical Practitioners and also laid the foundation for Shenzhou Medicine.

Herbs are classified into good medicine and poison, and naturally, there are benevolent healers and evil doctors.

More than a thousand years ago, during an era of frequent wars, there were many evil doctors causing chaos in the world.

They possessed powerful poison-making abilities and could snatch many lives away in a short period of time.

Just like those who took a crooked path in their practice of arts and methods, evil doctors were also resisted by the combined forces of Jianghu and eventually exterminated.

However, the cultivation techniques of these evil doctors weren’t destroyed but were sealed as forbidden texts within Taiyi Palace.

Every once in a while, a disciple would succumb to temptation and choose to become an evil doctor, exchanging their integrity for a significant boost in strength through malefic cultivation techniques.

These evil doctors, without exception, were all eliminated.

The reason why Taiyi Palace preserved the techniques of evil doctors is that indeed there are some secret scrolls within that can save lives at critical moments.

For example, the Gu People.

Transforming a dying person into a Gu Person would allow them to exist in the world for an extended period.

But this method wouldn’t be used lightly unless absolutely necessary.

Often, it is not the cultivation technique that is inherently good or evil but the person who practices it.

As the next head of the Su Family, Su Ningxiang had naturally read through all the books in the Scripture Pavilion.

Compared to medical techniques, she was more interested in the art of poisoning.

That’s how she managed to oust Su Xueqing, the biggest threat to her at the time, from the family without shedding a drop of blood.

Su Xueqing probably still doesn’t know how she became the criminal of the Su Family up to this moment!

Lin Shiyuan neither agreed nor disagreed, "Although poison is easy to use, it can sometimes backfire; there is no rush at the moment, and there will be plenty of time in the future."

"I don’t have the patience to waste on Ye Wanlan," said Su Ningxiang coldly. "She’s too close to Su Xueqing; it’s hard to guarantee she won’t find out something."

"Miss Ningxiang," the Hidden Guard appeared once again, silently, kneeling on one knee, "those patients without appointment numbers at the reception have been taken by Shen Que. Do you think we should stop them?"

"Shen Que?" Su Ningxiang frowned, "Why has he suddenly taken interest in this matter?"

Indeed, Shen Que had studied under the tutelage of the Su Family Supreme Elder for several months, but as an outsider by blood, he wasn’t allowed to learn the Taiyi Acupuncture Technique.

But since he indeed was the only man of different surname ever to be accepted as a disciple by the Su Family Supreme Elder, he held a certain influence within the Su Family.

Unless absolutely necessary, Su Ningxiang wasn’t inclined to start any direct conflict with Shen Que.

Of course, this was also because Shen Que posed no threat to her interests.

Whoever dares to infringe upon her interests must die.

"I don’t know," the Hidden Guard was equally puzzled, "The reception didn’t dare detain anyone, waiting for Miss Ningxiang to decide."

"Forget it," Su Ningxiang waved her hand casually, "Just let him take them away. As long as he doesn’t affect the market price of the appointment numbers we distribute, he can take as many patients as he likes."

The Su Family only issues twenty appointment numbers each day—each starting at seven figures, not including subsequent treatment fees.

Moreover, core disciples like Su Ningxiang and the top medical forces of the Su Family would not personally treat these patients, only allowing peripheral family members to provide treatment.

Only for complex and intriguing medical cases that pique the interest of the Su Family would the top medical forces take proactive action.

This way, the wealth of the Su Family continued to grow.

"Yes, Miss Ningxiang," the Hidden Guard retreated once again.

Lin Shiyuan remarked indifferently, "This way of making money is indeed good."

"Why not pursue the greatest returns with the least investment?" Su Ningxiang’s lips curled, "Besides, as the saying goes, ’life and death are predestined.’ If they can’t get an appointment number, they might as well be dead."

Hearing such words, Lin Shiyuan couldn’t help but slightly frown.

She sighed softly in her heart.

When it comes to ruthlessness, she indeed could not compare to Su Ningxiang.

Su Ningxiang then called for a trusted subordinate, "Go, have Jinran come to see me in a while."

Meanwhile, "Treasures of The Divine Land" TV show’s crew continued their filming and location scouting.

The deeper they walked, the more it felt like stepping back thousands of years, gazing upon the bustling Medicine King Valley from the past.

In front of the threshold stood a stone tablet with twelve large characters carved onto it—

Taiyi Medical Practitioners, resurrecting the dead, contending with the heavens!

These twelve characters stood here, forming a stark contrast to the indifferent coldness of the reception area.

"Yun Qing..." Ye Wanlan murmured softly, "the moral integrity, benevolent heart, and boundless love you adhered to could only be realized by you."

Even though she had not obtained the antique related to Shui Yunqing and was unable to know what exactly had happened before Shui Yunqing’s death,

she could deduce that Shui Yunqing had left sufficient contingencies before heading to her death, ensuring that the lineage of Taiyi Medical Practitioners would never be broken.

Because no matter the era, the importance of healers was too great.

However, Shui Yunqing wholeheartedly considered the inheritance, but now the Su Family that was responsible for passing down the Taiyi Acupuncture Technique acted completely contrary to what Shui Yunqing had hoped for.

"You all can rest here for a while." Su Jinran said, "Sister has called for me, I need to leave for a bit."

Soon, a servant stepped forward and filled the stone table with medicinal tea and pastries.

Ye Wanlan raised her eyebrows slightly, and in an instant, she had discerned the several types of herbs that made up the medicinal tea.

The Su Family was not stingy in hosting the television program’s crew, using good medicine that prolonged life and strengthened the body.

"There’s no poison in this, right?" Xing Yue muttered.

"No." Ye Wanlan said, unhurriedly, "My nose is quite sharp; I would be able to smell it."

During those 999 years of time looping, she had spent dozens of years constantly making and testing medicine using her own body.

Xing Yue finally relaxed and took a sip from her cup.

At this moment, Su Jinran had already met with Su Ningxiang.

Lin Shiyuan had left the Su Family, leaving behind only a cup of cold tea on the table.

"What’s with that expression?" Su Ningxiang tapped on the table, "Who upset my sister?"

"Ye Wanlan ah, I think she’s sick!" Su Jinran could not help but complain, "Sister, do you know what she’s been saying?"

She relayed her dialogues with Ye Wanlan from the day to Su Ningxiang, word for word, and scoffed, "It’s really ridiculous, by what right does she say such things? Does she not consider her qualifications to judge our Su Family’s actions?"

"Oh?" Su Ningxiang raised her eyebrows, "She seems to be a very moral person. Unfortunately, no matter how moral she is, without power, it’s useless."

Because all rules are established by people like them who are in the upper echelons of power.

The commoners below, no matter how dissatisfied, could only obey.

"Sister, I really can’t stand her." Su Jinran felt somewhat aggrieved, "If it weren’t for the purpose of promoting our Shenzhou’s traditional culture, I wouldn’t want to be in the same program with her."

"All right, bear with it for now." Su Ningxiang patted her back and smiled lightly, "I’ve changed my mind, no need for you to keep an eye on her, let her disappear. Then you will be the most favored one in the program group."

Su Jinran’s eyes were tearful, "Sister?"

"I’ve recently concocted a new medicine." Su Ningxiang smiled, "There’s been no one to test it yet; let her try it. For that, I can allow them to stay a few more days at the Su Family."

If anything untoward happened to Ye Wanlan at the Su Family, they would inevitably be held accountable.

Therefore, she needed a perfect plan that shifted the entire responsibility onto Ye Wanlan herself.

"Now that sister has a plan, I won’t worry anymore." Su Jinran showed a smile, "I’ll go back first and continue filming with them."

"Go ahead." Su Ningxiang gestured with her hand, "We still need to ensure the program is properly completed first."

Su Jinran returned to the filming location, ready to continue with the deep shoot with the program crew and guests, but she bumped into someone head-on.

It was a young man, who apparently was no older than twenty.

Su Jinran was startled, "Mr. Zhu Yu? What brings you here at this time?"

Although Zhu Yu was young, he was a supplier of medicinal herbs for the Su Family.

Without the drugs supplied by Zhu Yu, the Su Family would have nothing to cook with.

However, Zhu Yu was close with Su Xueqing, and after Su Xueqing was expelled from the Su Family, Zhu Yu had never set foot in the Su Family again.

If it were not for the strict agreement between Zhu Yu’s ancestors and the Su Family that could not be violated, perhaps he would also stop supplying medicinal materials.

Zhu Yu glanced at her, his tone mysterious, "I do not know you."

In front of others, Su Jinran was embarrassed, struggling to maintain a smile, "Last time I went to the garden to collect herbs, I was with the Great Elder..."

"I do not know you." Zhu Yu repeated these three words.

Biting her lip, Su Jinran tried to maintain her smile, "Sister is busy, I’ll take you to her."

"Who said I came to find Su Ningxiang?" Zhu Yu was getting impatient.

Su Jinran stood frozen in place.

Who else could he be seeking at the Su Family if not Su Ningxiang?

The director broke the awkward silence, "Miss Su, who is this?"

"This is Mr. Zhu Yu, responsible for the supply of medicinal materials." Su Jinran said stiffly, "The herbs in the medicinal tea you drank earlier were supplied by Mr. Zhu Yu."

Ye Wanlan pondered, "Drug Peddler?"

"What drug peddler?" Su Jinran’s brows bristled with anger, "Although he does cultivate medicinal herbs, you can’t address him like that, do you have any manners? Mr. Zhu Yu, look at her."
