Chapter 444
Zhang Xiaohua originally thought that her request was a bit too forceful and that Valley Head Nie might not agree. She didn't expect this to be the result.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua like this, Valley Head Nie smiled and said, "Nephew Ren, please don't blame me. I'm just a bit excited. It's been many years since someone as strong as you has asked me to learn the medical skills and pharmacology of Rejuvenation Valley. Even my two sons-in-law only asked for some pills."
After speaking, he looked at Elder Yue and said, "Zhong Lin is not bad, but he is also engrossed in the practice of internal strength. He can't control my Rejuvenation Valley."
Elder Yue chuckled and said, "Everyone has their own fate. You can't force it."
Hearing this, Nie Qianyu's face turned red again.
Valley Head Nie said meaningfully, "Medical skills can not only save yourself, but also heal others. If you can master it, the benefits will be endless."
Zhang Xiaohua was even happier when she heard this. She was just in the Nameless Town and had envied Nie Qianyu when she wrote her own prescription. She had long wanted to know the secret behind it. What she said just now was that she wanted to learn more about the cultivation of medicinal herbs to build a good foundation for her own alchemy. But now, listening to Valley Head Nie's words, Rejuvenation Valley's medical skills could also be taught. This was really a buy one get one free deal.
Valley Head Nie sighed for a moment and said, "However, Rejuvenation Valley has existed for thousands of years. Its accumulation is as vast as the sea. You may not be able to see a drop of water in the ocean in a few months. If nephew has the heart, you should find what you are most interested in to learn. When you come back from the School of Fragrance, you can learn one by one. What do you think?"
Zhang Xiaohua was a bit puzzled and thought, "If I came back from the School of Fragrance, why would I go to Rejuvenation Valley?"
However, Zhang Xiaohua still bowed and said, "Many thanks for Uncle Nie's teachings. I understand."
Valley Head Nie then said, "Little Yu knows about the books, medicine fields, and medicine making places in the valley. Let her accompany you. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask her. If she can't answer, then come find me."
Nie Qianyu felt sweet in her heart and secretly applauded her father's arrangement.
At this point, everything had been settled. Valley Master Nie looked at the sky outside and smiled, "Nephew Ren, you are the main character today. The Outer Hall has prepared a banquet and it must have already started. No matter what, you should go and entertain some guests."
Zhang Xiaohua waved her hand and said, "Valley Master Nie is mistaken. I've just turned fourteen and am still underage. It's better if I don't go to the banquet."
Valley Head Nie paused and then laughed loudly, "That's fine. Since Virtuous Nephew likes peace and quiet, I won't force you. Let's go, Brother Yue. We still have to go out and deal with some people. These jianghu friends have supported us for many days. If we don't let them drink to their heart's content, they'll say that Rejuvenation Valley is stingy."
Elder Yue also stood up and said, "That's exactly my intention. Let's go."
The two of them were about to get up and leave when they heard Zhang Xiaohua ask again, "That … Uncle Nie, where do I live?
It can't be this Peach Blossom Nunnery. "
Valley Master Nie and Elder Yue looked at each other and laughed again.
Valley Master Nie said, "Even if you want to stay tonight, I won't allow it."
Nie Qianyu called out shyly, "Father ~"
Valley Master Nie looked at his daughter lovingly and said to Zhang Xiaohua, "Virtuous Nephew, feel free to ask Little Yu about everything in the valley. I won't interfere."
Nie Qianyu said in a low voice, "There's a small pavilion next to the Peach Blossom Nunnery. I've already had people tidy it up. Brother Ren can move in at any time."
Zhang Xiaohua said awkwardly, "Okay, okay."
Valley Master Nie and Elder Yue smiled and walked out.
There were only two people in this exquisite hall.
It was already late at night. The wind blew the curtains in the hall and the candlelight also flickered. For a moment, the two didn't speak and the silence was tight.
After a while, Nie Qianyu said in a low voice, "Brother Ren, I really have to thank you for today's matter."
Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and said, "Don't be so courteous, Fishy Nie. I've said this sentence many times today, so don't mention it again in the future. Besides, Uncle also helped me a lot, so shouldn't I mention it again?
You and I are like this. You thank me and I thank you. Is there an end to it? "
"Pfft" Nie Qianyu laughed and recovered the expression she had on the road in the morning.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall also relaxed a lot. Zhang Xiaohua said, "Little Fish Nie, these four to five months can be long or short. Although I know a little about medicinal herbs, if we don't want people to see any flaws or make it legitimate, we'd better prepare early."
Nie Qianyu nodded and said, "Brother Ren is right. Wait a moment. I have some basic books here. I'll show you some first. If there's anything you don't understand, we'll discuss it together. What do you think?"
Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed and said, "I'll do as you say."
"Wait a moment. I'll be right back." After speaking, Nie Qianyu got up and walked out of the small hall.
Seeing that everyone had left, Zhang Xiaohua closed her eyes and sat on the chair. She thought to herself, "The problem with the Fragrant Religion can be considered solved. It's better than I expected.
In the past, I only wanted to ask for the location of the Fragrant Religion and enter alone to search for Second Brother's whereabouts. However, from what Valley Head Nie said just now, the Fragrant Religion is protected by a formation and is extremely difficult to break in. My small sword may be able to break through the formation, but this kind of super large sect definitely has hidden experts. If they find out, it will be very dangerous.
Now, it's all good. I have a legitimate reason to enter without taking any risks. Of course, this is what I'm looking for. Ai, Valley Head Nie still wants me to slowly deepen my relationship with Rejuvenation Valley. Looking at Valley Head Nie's style, he's also a straightforward and upright person. It's extremely good to interact more with him. However, he also sent my daughter. This is making things difficult for me. However … Little Fish Nie is actually not bad … "
"My alchemy skills have reached a bottleneck on the deserted island. I've never had a suitable pill formula or medicinal herbs to practice on. I haven't actually practiced with many pills. This is great. Since Rejuvenation Valley also has the Fasting Pill, they must also have other pills. There's no harm in learning more. Within a few months, I'll be able to become proficient."
"There's also the Qi Huang Technique. It's a very interesting thing. Since I have the opportunity to come into contact with it, I'd better take a look. Even if I can't master it, I'll strive to gain entry."
"Also, Rejuvenation Valley also has a legacy of thousands of years. Is there something interesting here as well?
If I have time, I'd better investigate. If I can help Rejuvenation Valley unearth something that has long been lost, it can also be considered as repaying their kindness for teaching me. "
Just as she was thinking, she heard a series of footsteps at the door.
Zhang Xiaohua frowned. "Little Fishy Nie, when did you become so heavy?"
When he looked up, he saw a man a head taller than him. He looked like an iron tower as he walked in with large strides. He first looked around before fixing his gaze on Zhang Xiaohua. Seeing the man's malicious gaze, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but frown. He thought to himself, "Who is this?"
Before Zhang Xiaohua could speak, the man walked in front of Zhang Xiaohua and sized her up. He cracked a smile and said, "You don't have three heads and six arms, so why are you so powerful?"
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she understood a little. She cupped her hands and said, "This one is Ren Xiaoyao. Are you looking for me?
Or are you looking for Miss Nie? "
The man also saluted and said, "I'm looking for you. I am Lu Meng of the Weapon Refining Sect."
Zhang Xiaohua asked curiously, "This one doesn't seem to know Brother Lu. What business do you have with me?"
Lu Meng shouted, "Of course I have business with you. Otherwise, who would come looking for you?"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled wryly. "Then would Brother Lu please enlighten me?"
"What are you talking about? Don't make yourself sound so polite.
I heard that you won against many people in the arena today. I'm not convinced and want to compare notes with you.
Little Yu is the junior sister of our sects. She can't be betrothed to someone for nothing. "
Zhang Xiaohua tilted her head and smiled. "Then why didn't Brother Lu enter the arena?"
"Why would I enter the arena?
I don't want to be the son-in-law of Rejuvenation Valley.
Oh right, also, you used an excuse to not attend the banquet. Don't you know that the disciples of our sects are all waiting for you?
If it wasn't for the sect head … "
Speaking up to here, he seemed to realize that he had let the cat out of the bag and hurriedly corrected himself. "If it wasn't for the sect head's disapproval, I would've brought my weapon over a long time ago."
Zhang Xiaohua was startled. Valley Master Nie had just left and had probably just arrived at the banquet. This boor had already come knocking on her door. Wasn't this a bit too fast?
With this thought in mind, she immediately released her divine perception. Sure enough, under a peach tree not far from the small building, a person was sneakily looking in her direction. Borrowing the moonlight that had just risen, Zhang Xiaohua could clearly see that it was Rejuvenation Valley's second son-in-law, Qiang Sheng, who had been following her from the arena to the mountain villa.
"This Rejuvenation Valley doesn't seem to be some Peach Blossom Spring." Zhang Xiaohua inwardly pondered.
However, this boor had come knocking on her door. How was she going to deal with him?
It shouldn't be difficult to defeat him, but she believed that there would be others coming after this person. She still had proper business to attend to. Who would have the patience to engage in internal strife with them?
"Hey, kid, what are you thinking about?"
Lu Meng called out, "Don't come up with any devious ideas. I know you have many tricks up your sleeves. You played everyone in the arena like a fool."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "I was just thinking that since the Weapon Refining Sect and Rejuvenation Valley are so close, if we were to compete in martial arts, wouldn't it hurt the harmony between the two sides?"
"Ah!"
Lu Meng cried out in surprise, "Kid, you're really kind-hearted. You really have the same thoughts as me. I know your martial arts are powerful and you've defeated many people in the arena. I'm not here to compete in martial arts with you!"
This time, it was Zhang Xiaohua's turn to be surprised. She said, "If you're not here to compete in martial arts, why are you looking for me?
If you're not here to compete in drinking, then I'll have to concede defeat. "
Lu Meng laughed and said, "You're naturally no match for me in drinking. However, I'm here today to compete in strength with you. I'll let you know that there are also heroes in our Jade Foundation Alliance."
Hearing this, a strange expression appeared on Zhang Xiaohua's face.
