Planting the Seeds of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Notting City
Yu Xiaogang lived in the Douluo Continent a period of time and learned about its economic system. One Copper Soul Coin was equivalent to one yuan on Earth in his previous life. One hundred Copper Soul Coin could be exchanged for one Silver Soul Coin, and ten Silver Soul Coin could be exchanged for one Gold Soul Coin.
One Gold Soul Coin is roughly equivalent to 10,000 yuan on Earth in Yu Xiaogang's previous life. No wonder ordinary people don't spend so much money to find a healing Support Soul Master unless they have a serious illness, since it's too expensive.
No wonder ordinary people on the Douluo Continent so desperately hope that a Soul Master will appear in the next generation. After all, it's too easy to make money! The gap between the rich and the poor is so huge that even high-level Soul Master don't care about Gold Soul Coin, while ordinary people have to work hard and struggle for a single Gold Soul Coin.
The existence of healing Support Soul Master in the Douluo Continent has hindered the development of a robust medical system. After all, a healing Support Soul Master can cure any illness with a simple Soul Skill, so why would anyone bother researching how to use herbs for healing?
Instead, they discovered some herbs that could help Soul Master cultivate, which led to the establishment of Medicine Shop selling these herbs. Sometimes Yu Xiaogang would complain that Soul Skill were indeed good, but as long as anyone obtained a Spirit Ring, they would instantly gain an ability in a foolproof way. No wonder the people of the Douluo Continent had remained unchanged for tens of thousands of years.
After all, no one can create their own Self-Created Soul Skill by painstakingly cultivating it for more than ten years. In battle, it might not even be as powerful as the Soul Skill that someone else obtains by hunting casually. With such a huge gap, it's no wonder that not many people research Self-Created Soul Skill.
Yu Xiaogang stood up and looked out to see Teacher Ye leading several Elite Class students, busy at work. After saying goodbye to the old man, he led Su Yuntao and the other three away from Notting City Square toward Wang Dachui's blacksmith shop.
"Teacher! Why didn't you go find Teacher Ye just now? We could have helped out! And is it really true, like that old man said, that eating weeds—no, herbs—can cure diseases?"
Xiao Zhan couldn't help but ask Teacher Yu Xiaogang was walking in front of him.
Upon hearing Xiao Zhan's question, Yu Xiaogang slowed down and replied to Xiao Zhan, "You guys shouldn't cause trouble for Teacher Ye. Traditional Chinese Medicine is very rigorous, and you don't understand it! I taught Teacher Ye Traditional Chinese Medicine. At first, Teacher Ye only opened Medicine Room to treat ordinary people because she wanted to help us gain a good reputation."
But today you have seen the helplessness of ordinary people. Teacher Xiao Zhan, I hope to continue to expand the Medicine Room and turn it into a hospital so that more ordinary people can see a doctor. Also, could you use your father's connections to bring in some Gold Soul Coin for investment?
This will also benefit you when you take over as the Notting City Lord. Si Si, take a look at those students in the academy who have poor cultivation talent but are quick-witted, and ask them if they would like to learn Traditional Chinese Medicine to treat people.
When Xiao Zhan heard Teacher Yu Xiaogang say that doing this would benefit his succession as the Notting City Lord, he carefully recalled the joyful expressions on the faces of ordinary people who left after receiving treatment from Teacher Ye. It was indeed very effective at winning people's hearts. He immediately replied to Teacher Yu Xiaogang:
"Don't worry, teacher! I'll have my dad arrange a big place for you, so you can really show your Teacher Ye! I'm going to become the most respected city lord in Notting City's history!"
Si Si watched Xiao Zhan spouting nonsense, and after he finished speaking, she casually chimed in:
"Yes! Teacher, don't worry! Every year, many Soul Master graduate from the academy. Some become guards for nobles, some join Soul Hunting Teams to travel on the edge of life and death, and some join the Spirit Hall as ordinary Awakened Soul Master. I think many students would be willing to have a stable path now!"
Yu Xiaogang nodded to him, gave Xiao Zhan and Si Si some instructions, and continued walking ahead of the four. He hoped that the seeds of Traditional Chinese Medicine he brought to the Douluo Continent could take root and sprout in this land, allowing more ordinary people to receive effective treatment.
Instead of relying on healing to Support Soul Master's abnormal development, it turns out that taking shortcuts in the development of civilization always leads to bad things. Forcing growth is not advisable!
Soon, Wang Dachui sensed something was wrong! Why couldn't he find his way back to the academy? It seemed to lead to his family's blacksmith shop. Wang Dachui asked Teacher Yu Xiaogang with a curious and apprehensive tone:
"Teacher! This doesn't seem to be the way back to the academy! It's the way to my family's blacksmith shop. Teacher, are you going to visit my home? Did I do something wrong? I'll definitely correct it! Otherwise, my dad will spank me again!"
Looking at Wang Dachui's pitiful and aggrieved expression, Su Yuntao couldn't help but pat Wang Dachui's shoulder and tease him, "What's wrong? Isn't this our academy's fearless Iron Hammer King Kong? Even he's afraid of being spanked now?"
Si Si and Xiao Zhan also teased Wang Dachui with laughter. Wang Dachui usually acted fearless at the academy, but he was actually afraid of his father spanking him! It was really surprising, after all, Wang Dachui was tall and strong and you couldn't tell at all.
Yu Xiaogang was speechless at Wang Dachui's behavior. He had only gone to pick up a package; how could Wang Dachui have connected it to a home visit? Did Wang Dachui have a criminal record? Given Wang Dachui's limited thinking, it was quite possible! Sometimes Wang Dachui really couldn't think straight and made mistakes! Yu Xiaogang found it amusing and offered Wang Dachui a few words of comfort:
"Don't worry! It's not a home visit. But your dad won't beat you up since the teacher is here. The thing I ordered from your blacksmith shop should be finished by now. When I first got the throwing knife, your dad told me it would be finished soon. I came to the auspicious place today to see the teacher, so I just went to check it out."
Wang Dachui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he hadn't done anything wrong to upset the teacher and that a home visit was scheduled. He muttered to himself:
"Hehe! As long as it's not a home visit, it's fine. I hate home visits the most. My dad beat me really hard last time. Just thinking about it makes me ache!"
After Wang Dachui finished speaking, he suddenly shuddered as if he had just remembered something. Su Yuntao and Xiao Zhan, who were nearby, turned their heads away after hearing this, shut their mouths and chuckled to themselves, their shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
Because Si Si had already opened up her Sea of Consciousness, her Mental Power perception ability had greatly increased. She heard Wang Dachui's whispered words clearly and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Wang Dachui was completely baffled and could only look on with a blank expression.
Yu Xiaogang sensed what was behind him with his Mental Power, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up. Fortunately, he managed to control his expression and didn't burst out laughing on the spot.
Before long, they arrived at the entrance of Wang Dachui's blacksmith shop. It was late at night and few people had gone home for dinner. They saw Wang Chui sitting on a small stool, drinking wine and eating snacks, looking very relaxed.
Upon seeing his father, Wang Dachui couldn't help but hide behind Yu Xiaogang, hoping his father wouldn't notice him. Yu Xiaogang felt that Wang Dachui Wang Chui's actions suggested Wang Dachui upbringing had been very successful! When Wang Chui looked over, Yu Xiaogang said enthusiastically:
"Old Wang is having a drink! Hope I didn't disturb your enjoyment! I was out having dinner with my apprentice and just happened to pass by, so I came to pick up the blueprints that I asked Wang Dachui to give you last time. Have you finished making them yet? Last time, Old Wang, you patted your chest and guaranteed that it would be completed within a certain time!"
When Wang Chui first heard someone calling him, he wondered why anyone would be looking for him so late at night. Hearing that he was addressed as Old Wang, he thought it was his old friend who had come. He turned around and saw that it was his mentally challenged son's teacher.
