A Marvelous Technique Method

Li Shang, the top Alchemist of the King of Huainan's Household, was fooled by Zhang Xuezhou, but Zhang Xuezhou could not fool Zheng Wukong's eyes.

Although there was still some uncertainty, Zheng Wukong had indeed guessed the cause of the illness.

When Zhang Xuezhou nodded, Zheng Wukong's eyes widened suddenly, and his mouth trembled slightly.

"How... how big is that giant medicinal herb?"

After his voice trembled several times, Zheng Wukong finally calmed down and prepared to listen and broaden his horizons.

How big?

Zhang Xuezhou thought about it and realized that the Cynomorium songaricum, which was already three zhang long without being dug up, was a bit too big.

If it weren't for the headache of finding a woman to lift the Suoyang seal, he would have even considered using Suoyang to help him advance his Denggao.

"So big... so... just like this..."

Zhang Xuezhou gestured several times, and even compared the two using the supporting pillars of the mansion. Zheng Wukong listened with a flushed face, as if he were a drunkard who had heard the legend of an unparalleled wine.

"Not many people dare to eat this. If you want some, I'll cut off a piece and bring it back for you to see next time!"

Zhang Xuezhou had a lot of troubles, so he didn't care about one more. Besides, it wouldn't be difficult to bring Zheng Wukong the powerful medicine.

If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't an essential need, his round trip using the "Technique Within the Clouds" wouldn't have taken very long.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

When Zheng Wukong saw Zhang Xuezhou about to push open the door to check on A Qiao, he grabbed Zhang Xuezhou, who loved to talk big.

"Bring me back a piece of Cistanche deserticola, and I will teach you a wonderful Technique Method," Zheng Wukong said solemnly.

Zhang Xuezhou readily agreed to things, and Zhang Xuezhou was usually a man of his word.

But Zhang Xuezhou's promise might only take a month, or a year, or three to five years, Zheng Wukong felt he couldn't wait that long.

If the medicine were to be retrieved, Zheng Wukong felt it would be utterly tragic that he, like Xu Ji, could only lie there and watch it.

"I have no shortage of ingenious techniques, I..."

"Do you lack the wonderful technique for discerning a woman's physique? It's the technique that allows you to distinguish a woman's constitution through the four methods of observation, listening, questioning, and palpation!"

"I need it!"

Zhang Xuezhou felt that he already possessed a great many Technique Method, and that he had largely established himself in the cultivation world.

Without the emergence of unconventional techniques, learning one or two Technique Method at Zhang Xuezhou's level of cultivation would be nothing more than a waste of time and wouldn't change anything.

He almost said that he looked down on the Technique Method of the Hanging Gourd Sect, but when Zheng Wukong quickly explained, Zhang Xuezhou immediately nodded in agreement.

The feeling of having a pillow when you're about to fall asleep is just too good. Zhang Xuezhou thought there were only mountains ahead, but he never expected that he could be traveling along Zheng Wukong's path.

"How did your Hanging Gourd Sect develop such a skill?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in surprise.

"Women with a pure Yin constitution have difficulty conceiving, but these women are either exceptionally beautiful or far more skilled in sexual intercourse than ordinary people, and many of them enter aristocratic Aristocratic Clan or even the imperial palace," Zheng Wukong. "If someone dies in these places, it's easy for them to suffer the consequences. You say our Hanging Gourd Sect has fallen to the point of being wandering doctors, how could we not painstakingly study?"

"You guys are definitely very motivated!"

After hearing Zheng Wukong's reasoning, Zhang Xuezhou found it quite plausible and then asked Zheng Wukong for the miraculous technique.

"If you won't teach me, then I'll go find Chunyu Tiying!"

After his efforts to persuade Zheng Wukong failed, Zhang Xuezhou had no choice but to change his target. However, when he saw that Zheng Wukong looked completely unperturbed, he felt somewhat discouraged.

"There are many researchers of this wonderful technique, but we are definitely the best here," Zheng Wukong said with a smile, stroking his beard. "Why not learn this first-rate technique instead of choosing some third-rate methods!"

"Are you so sure the Hanging Gourd Sect is the best?"

"Chunyu Tiying couldn't diagnose your illness, but I could see it at a glance. Moreover, Yi Shuo recently won first place among the female physicians at the Imperial Medical Hall and became the chief female physician. You should know that our Hanging Gourd Sect is the best!"

Faced with Zhang Xuezhou's questions, Zheng Wukong remained calm and presented the facts directly.

Zheng Wukong's words were reasonable and well-founded. Not only Chunyu Tiying fail to examine Zhang Xuezhou's illness, but many skilled doctors in the King of Huainan's Household and Li Shang also failed to diagnose the cause.

Even when Aqiao had a difficult childbirth, it was Zheng Wukong who performed the surgery to save her, thus ensuring the safety of both mother and child.

Zheng Wukong is not only capable himself, but his apprentices are also capable. Yi Shuo has now become the chief female physician of the royal family.

The Hanging Gourd Sect of Medicine has unique advantages in diagnosing women's health conditions. While it may be difficult to say whether it is the best in the world, it is certainly the best within Zhang Xuezhou's scope of experience.

"Then wait until I cut you a piece of Cynomorium songaricum!"

Knowing that Zheng Wukong needed to deliver the goods and the technique in exchange, Zhang Xuezhou had no choice but to agree.

He was quite concerned about his health and decided to make a trip to Suoyang's location. Moreover, the centennial agreement with Kunlun Sacred Land was approaching, so it wouldn't be a problem for him to make a detour. He might even be able to see Divine Lord Zhenyuan and discuss matters such as the selection of secondary Divine Ability and the transformation of Yang Corporeal Soul into an infant.

The trip to the Western Kunlun Holy Land was just one additional factor in Zhang Xuezhou's plan, and he didn't mind flying hundreds of miles more to collect Cynomorium songaricum.

I'm waiting for your good news!

Zheng Wukong stroked his beard and chuckled a few times before letting Zhang Xuezhou into the side room to check on A Qiao.

People often say that a mother's status rises with her son's, but A-Qiao in the room showed no such mentality whatsoever. Instead, she lay on the bed looking anxious, not at all like a high-risk pregnant woman who needs to rest and recuperate after giving birth.

Zheng Wukong knew enough about the illness, and he had obviously communicated with A Qiao before Zhang Xuezhou learned about the relevant information.

For A-Qiao, her marriage into the family was not due to her intelligence and competence, nor because of any deep feelings between her and Zhang Xuezhou, nor because of the binding of her unplanned pregnancy, but simply because she was a 'human medicine'.

Without the qualification of 'human medicine', she would lose the foundation for her place in this mansion.

Unable to stand still, unable to leave, and burdened by her inescapable lowly status, A-Qiao was truly bewildered about her life.

Only when she felt a cool sensation in her lower abdomen did she muster the courage to look at Zhang Xuezhou's face.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious!"

Seemingly sensing A-Qiao's emotions, Zhang Xuezhou spoke up to comfort her.

"What will happen to Master's health in the future?" A-Qiao asked anxiously.

"We'll have to find another way, and then you'll have to find some time to help teach the newbies!"

Zhang Xuezhou's words sent a chill down A Qiao's spine, but when Zhang Xuezhou added the second half of his sentence, A Qiao calmed down considerably.

"You were previously a member of the King of Huainan's Household. Now that your pure Yin body has been broken, it's a good thing to take this opportunity to leave," Zhang Xuezhou thoughtfully arranged. "Don't worry about your lowly status or the child's upbringing; I'll arrange everything. Just remember, you mustn't return to the Prince's household to avoid any entanglements or trouble!"

"Even if the master didn't say it, I know I can't go back. I'll just say I need to take care of the child, and the princess certainly won't force me to return to the palace!"

Aqiao lowered her head.

Zhang Xuezhou acted decisively and efficiently, and many things were within expectations, but the matters of escaping his lowly status and raising his child were unexpected by A Qiao.

Aqiao and Zhang Xuezhou were together for less than a year, and she saw Zhang Xuezhou only a handful of times during that year. Most of the time, Zhang Xuezhou was in a coma, and she was busy treating him.

If things had gone according to the arrangements of the King of Huainan's Household, she should have died during childbirth, let alone made any other requests.

She felt incredibly lucky to have survived and to have had her life taken care of by Zhang Xuezhou.
