Yellow Medicine Enters the Body to Induce Wandering, Silver Needles Stabilize the Soul to Display Absolute Skill

"You're lucky," Wu Sheng chuckled.

"This person's name is Shi Jie, my junior fellow disciple. Like me, he enjoys wandering the land, and he happens to be visiting Qingzhou these past few days.

However, my junior disciple has a rather peculiar personality. Brother Chen, if you happen to offend him upon meeting, I hope you'll be understanding."

"I'm the one seeking his guidance, so that's naturally not a problem. Brother Wu, just lead me to him!"

Chen Duan's interest was piqued.

Wu Sheng's junior fellow disciple was actually a doctor.

While it was a bit unexpected, upon closer thought, it made perfect sense.

Wu Sheng's Dragon Patrol Hand technique was divided into four steps: 'Wang, Wen, Wen, Qie' (observation, listening, questioning, pulse-taking), which had many connections to 'medicine'.

Wu Sheng wasted no time. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, he led Chen Duan to his junior disciple Shi Jie's temporary residence.

The two arrived before a quiet courtyard.

Knock, knock, knock!

Wu Sheng rapped on the door knocker.

"Junior disciple!"

After knocking several times, hurried footsteps could be heard from within the courtyard.

With a creak, the door opened a crack.

The head of a boy, about fifteen or sixteen years old, poked out.

"Where's your master? I have something important to ask him..."

Wu Sheng had only spoken half the sentence when the boy in front of him vanished.

"Huh?"

After a moment of stunned silence, Wu Sheng realized and looked behind him.

He saw the boy had already appeared behind Chen Duan, hugging Chen Duan's waist with both arms and fumbling around, his eyes shining with excitement, repeatedly exclaiming in wonder.

"What a body."

"Truly a magnificent body!"

Wu Sheng slapped his forehead.

"Damn it, I've been tricked again!"

Just then, another boy ran out from the courtyard.

"Coming, coming..."

This boy who came later looked exactly the same as the "boy" who was hugging Chen Duan.

He saw the scene at the door, especially the "self" hugging Chen Duan, and his face immediately fell. He said speechlessly:

"Master! Why have you transformed into my appearance again?"

The "boy" hugging Chen Duan chuckled, let go, and took a step back.

Chen Duan slowly relaxed his fists. In that instant, if Wu Sheng hadn't given him a heads-up, he would have almost thrown a punch.

The "boy" flipped his wrist, and three silver needles appeared between his fingers. He stabbed them towards his own neck.

His skin rippled and warped, his body grew taller.

His features changed, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed from a tender youth into a handsome young man.

Shi Jie stretched his neck, a look of infatuation on his face, his gaze fixed on Chen Duan.

"Such a perfect body is rarely seen~"

Wu Sheng walked forward helplessly and made the introductions:

"Brother Chen, this is my junior disciple, Shi Jie. The young man beside him is my grand-disciple, Zhang Zhen."

He then turned to Shi Jie, "Junior disciple, this is Chen Duan, my friend. He has come to seek your advice on some difficult questions regarding pharmacology."

"Oh? Seeking advice on pharmacology?"

Shi Jie's interest was piqued, but before he could say more, Zhang Zhen beside him burst into laughter.

Chen Duan's rugged appearance, claiming to be a medical practitioner, was indeed quite amusing.

But the next moment.

Zhang Zhen's laughter came to an abrupt halt. He touched his neck, where a fine, trembling needle now rested, rendering him instantly speechless and unable to make a sound.

If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author. Perhaps the name has been changed!

"Do not be rude to guests," Shi Jie slowly withdrew his hand.

Zhang Zhen clutched his neck, his face full of grievance and speechlessness.

Master! You started by touching him, isn't that truly rude!

Chen Duan, however, didn't seem to mind. He cupped his hands and got straight to the point:

"Senior Shi, I do have some confusion regarding pharmacology, though I wouldn't call it medical skill. I hope you won't hesitate to offer your guidance."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Shi Jie stepped aside, clearing the path.

"The way of pharmacology is one of my greatest strengths. Please, come in, let's discuss it inside. Disciple, what are you standing around for? Go make some tea!"

He spoke politely, but his gaze lingered on Chen Duan's body the entire time.

He didn't seem to care much about the request for guidance on pharmacology.

After all, Chen Duan didn't have that "medicinal scent" of someone who had studied pharmacology for years; he likely wasn't a professional physician or pharmacist.

Afterward, Chen Duan followed Shi Jie into a quiet room.

The air was filled with the mixed scent of herbs, but it didn't feel bitter; instead, it was somewhat refreshing.

Wu Sheng stood outside the quiet room's door, cupping his hands in a salute:

"You two are discussing pharmacology, and I'm an outsider, so I won't disturb you..."

"Brother Wu, there's no need to be so formal. What I'm involved in isn't entirely pharmacology; much of it requires practical verification. Brother Wu, you have extensive experience, and if you gain any insights by observing, you can discuss them at any time. Wouldn't that be even better?"

Wu Sheng hesitated for a moment, then smiled: "In that case, I shall impose."

The three sat around a round sandalwood table.

Zhang Zhen, with nimble hands and feet, quickly prepared a pot of clear tea and poured it for the three of them. He then retreated and stood behind Shi Jie.

But the next moment.

His legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground with a "thump," his eyes closing tightly. He had fallen asleep directly.

Shi Jie picked up his teacup and took a sip, explaining:

"My young disciple's temperament is not yet settled, and he can't control his mouth. Let him sleep for a while."

Looking at the collapsed young man, a hint of melancholy flashed in Wu Sheng's eyes. Following his junior brother's tutelage was unlucky; he'd get a needle like this from time to time.

Chen Duan nodded slightly, his expression calm.

This Shi Jie, despite appearing frivolous on the surface, was quite a cautious person.

Of course, Chen Duan didn't care about these things.

If he were truly afraid of secrets being leaked, he wouldn't have come here. After all, this was his and Shi Jie's first meeting, and whether he could be trusted depended entirely on Wu Sheng's guarantee.

He took out a paper-wrapped package and pushed it towards Shi Jie.

"I've temporarily named this 'Yellow Medicine.' It can permeate the human body through skin contact, induce mild hallucinations, and cause unconsciousness."

"Skin absorption?"

Wu Sheng, standing nearby, looked surprised.

Shi Jie didn't ask further questions. He directly extended his index finger and dipped it into a small amount of the powder.

Within a few breaths, he felt a wave of dizziness, his head swayed slightly, and he fell into a dazed state.

But he quickly regained his senses, pinched a silver needle between his fingers, and directly inserted it into his forehead.

As the needle entered his body, his body trembled slightly, the confusion in his eyes faded, and clarity returned.

"Incredible, truly incredible~" Shi Jie exclaimed repeatedly, his attention captivated by the "Yellow Medicine," shifting away from Chen Duan himself.

Wu Sheng's curiosity was also piqued: "May I try this?"

"Of course. However, its potency is quite strong, and I fear you might have trouble waking up," Chen Duan warned.

"It's fine. With me here, Senior Brother can try it. This substance feels quite marvelous."

With Shi Jie's assurance, Wu Sheng confidently gave it a try.

The powder touched his skin and quickly dissolved and was absorbed.

Wu Sheng felt a slight numbness spread up his arm, followed by his vision spinning. His body slowly softened, bringing a sense of weightlessness, as if lying on clouds.

It made one want to sink into it...

Shi Jie flicked his fingers, and another needle pierced Wu Sheng's forehead.

Wu Sheng jolted and suddenly woke up.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
