"We are not worthy, unless you want the medical standards in Shenzhou to regress eight thousand years." Facing the encirclement of Emperor Jing's guards, Yiqin and the surrounding disciples of Lingyin Valley refused to retreat even a single step and protected Si Lian in the circle.
"Go away! Shenzhou doesn't need medical practitioners!" Emperor Jing said angrily.
"That's what you said." Yiqin looked at Emperor Jing with sympathy, as if she was looking at a fool, not the ruler of a country.
The moment Emperor Jing opened his mouth, even the last bit of awe for the imperial power in his heart disappeared... He only felt that the person in front of him was an ignorant madman.
"roll."
Emperor Jing spoke again in a cold voice: "While I don't want to kill you yet, you can get out of here."
Seeing that Emperor Jing was completely stubborn and would never let Jiang Ke'er come back no matter what, Yiqin felt somewhat powerless.
"Your Majesty, no!" The official in charge of controlling the Si Tian Yi hurriedly leaned close to Emperor Jing's ear in fear and whispered, "The Si Tian Yi has just been completed, and the previous waves of pathfinders who returned from the alien space were all seriously ill with unknown causes. Even the several alchemy cultivators who were responsible for treating them were infected... It is really unwise to offend the largest medical sect in Shenzhou at such a critical moment!"
"Snapped!"
Emperor Jing slapped the official hard on the face and laughed wildly with disdain:
"If medical practitioners are gone, don't we still have alchemy practitioners? Our country is full of talented people. How can the lifeblood of state affairs be affected by a few mere medical practitioners? What a joke!"
"From today on, I will remove the name of medical practitioners from the history of Shenzhou!"

83. “Poison”?
Monks don't get sick.
Since the moment the practice was born, mankind has completely gotten rid of disease and hunger. The new civilization structure has changed everything in the past.
Now, it has been tens of thousands of years since the last time a cultivator died of illness. It is so long that even the oldest ancient books have no record of it.
Diseases could not break through the monks' immune system, and most monks died in fights and poisonings. Pills, which were easy to carry, convenient to take, effective, and could solve all problems, became the monks' favorite.
Especially the few pill recipes that have been passed down from ancient times, which can basically solve the physical crises faced by all cultivators and improve their cultivation. Therefore, most alchemy practitioners are too lazy to continue studying, and it is enough for them to just learn these pill recipes anyway.
Because of this, the status of medical practitioners has become somewhat awkward.
Alchemy and medicine are inseparable. It is said that in ancient times, medical practitioners used their knowledge to conduct research, diagnosis and subsequent maintenance work. At the same time, they would also refine elixirs to treat diseases - the earliest elixir recipes were invented by medical practitioners.
However, in the past tens of thousands of years in Shenzhou, there have been only a few ways that can threaten human life, and there are already enough prescriptions for symptomatic treatment. There is no need for in-depth research, so the research work of medical practitioners seems a bit useless.
Medical practitioners gradually declined, and alchemy practitioners emerged to take on Shenzhou's medical work and directly sell medicines - it has been like this for tens of thousands of years, and there has never been any problem.
This is the source of Emperor Jing’s confidence.
Shenzhou does not need medical treatment.
It is enough to have Dan Xiu.
"The Alchemy Sect Alliance is nothing more than a few nouveau riche who use pill formulas to make money. They can't be called real alchemy practitioners at all. The truly capable alchemy practitioners are all kept in the deep mountains of the major sects. They have their own schools and inheritances, which are much better than that damn Lingyin Valley!"
Sitting on the dragon throne in the main hall, Emperor Jing still couldn't calm himself down and said harshly.
"Your Majesty," the official in charge of the Sitian Ceremonies still had the handprint of Emperor Jingdi on his face. He had a conflicted look, and there were ten thousand voices in his ears telling him that he must not offend the emperor at this time.
But the inexplicable foreboding in his heart eventually drove him to speak: "This time the poison seems to be a little different..."
Emperor Jing smiled and said, "My dear, what is the difference?"
The official's face turned pale instantly - Emperor Jing even used the respectful title "please", which obviously made him completely angry. If he spoke rashly again, he might not survive the night.
"No, no, there is nothing different. I am just worrying too much," the official said with cold sweat. "There is no problem in this world that those seniors can't solve... Even if it is a dead person, they can still pull half of his life back from the netherworld. I am just worrying too much."
"You still have some brains," Emperor Jing's expression relaxed and his fingertips gently tapped the handle of the dragon throne.
The official gritted his teeth and spoke again: "It's just that I heard that Concubine Chen's nephew was also unfortunately infected with that strange poison. He is currently receiving treatment from a military doctor in the military camp, and his condition has not improved for a long time... If something unexpected happens, I'm afraid it will affect Concubine Chen's mood. Please ask Your Majesty to invite those ancestors out as soon as possible."
"You are very thoughtful," Emperor Jing lazily leaned back in his chair, "but there is some truth in your thinking. Why don't you handle this matter by yourself? Go and summon the hidden alchemists from the major sects to come and treat him."
The official was relieved: "Your Majesty is wise!"
"Oh, by the way," Emperor Jing said lazily, "The barracks are dirty and smelly, which is not suitable for recuperation. Bring Concubine Chen's nephew to the palace for treatment."
"Not right!" the official exclaimed hurriedly, "Your Majesty, this is not right! The palace is crowded with people, and this strange poison seems to be contagious. If it spreads to the palace, I'm afraid it will cause chaos!"
"Well... never mind," Emperor Jing waved his hand. Although he had seen how powerful those hermit alchemists were, he didn't care about this so-called strange poison, but if it really spread in the palace, it would be a bit troublesome.
"Then take good care of Concubine Chen's nephew, send him more nutritious pills and natural treasures, and send a few opera troupes to entertain him. If he has any other requests, try to meet them."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
********
"What are we doing?" Si Lian followed Yiqin puzzled.
The expected large-scale fight did not break out in the competition venue. Li Laoer, along with his father and several respected demon generals, arrived in time to calm the situation and successfully escorted Tai Mingzong and Si Lian away.
It is now half a day after the resurrection match ended.
But after they left safely, Yiqin did not take Si Lian back to Taiming Sect, nor did she mention Jiang Ke'er who was trapped in the other world.
Instead, he turned around and took Si Lian and the Taiming Sect's disciples for a walk down the street.
Not only did they go shopping, they also hid their identities and dispersed to various cities and started buying things like crazy.
Si Lian stared in amazement as Yiqin opened her Qiankun bag and quickly put all the medicine-making materials on an entire stall into the bag. In just a few minutes, she had bought out almost the entire street.
"There's no time to explain. Help me decorate quickly." Yiqin said urgently, "Buy formation materials, refining materials, alchemy herbs, alchemy vessels, refining furnaces and alchemy furnaces, as well as blank talisman paper, analytical crystals, high-quality magic crystal ore, and rare and precious materials."
"Why?" Si Lian was puzzled, "What is this for?"
"The Taiming Sect is going to close the mountain." Yiqin explained.
Si Lian suddenly realized that, indeed, since the emperor had already said that he would expel the medical practitioner, the situation of Tai Ming Zong was extremely precarious at this time, and he had to close the mountain to protect himself and avoid the limelight.
"It was Qingyi who suggested closing the mountain." Yiqin added.
Si Lian was stunned again.
How could Qingyi see what was happening in Shenzhou from another world? How could she have had time to send out the message to close the mountain?
With a lot of questions in her mind, Si Lian began to join the purchasing work - since Tai Mingzong had helped her a lot, it was natural for her to support Tai Mingzong's work.
The procurement work lasted for a day and a night.
The monks' work efficiency is extremely high, and with the help of the transportation artifact Qiankun Bag, one day and one night are enough for the Taiming Sect's disciples to convert all of Taiming Sect's existing assets into supplies.
The next night, Taiming Sect's mountain protection formation was activated.
Looking at the barrier that was gradually brightening up under the moonlight, Si Lian looked at the starry sky worriedly, feeling a tightness in his chest and an empty and uncomfortable feeling.
Qingyi, Jieshui, Lin Gang, Gan Ruanruan, A Miao...
Those little guys who had gone through life and death with me in the craziness for half a year, now I don’t know how far away they are.
I don't know if they can come back.
Just then, a hand patted her shoulder.
Si Lian thought it was Yiqin who came to comfort her, but she heard that the voice behind her did not come from Yiqin.
The voice was cold, yet contained a hint of tenderness that she found a luxury.
"Don't worry, that guy has a lot of tricks up his sleeve." Qiao Xiaoxian said in a low voice.
After saying that, Qiao Xiaoxian felt Si Lian's stunned gaze, seemed to feel a little awkward, and quickly turned around and left.
Then she turned over and sat on the beam, also holding her chin, looking at the sky and began to worry. In fact... she was not much better than Si Lian.
Master Yiqin did not notice the secret between the two women's interaction.
Seeing Si Lian's sad face, she slowly walked over with the peach blossom stick in her hand, stopped beside Si Lian, and said, "When Qingyi saw Si Tianyi, she said two words to me... I still can't figure it out until now."
"What?" Si Lian was stunned.
"The first sentence is to let Taiming Sect close the mountain immediately after the resurrection match and convert all the property into material reserves." Yiqin replied.
"What about the other sentence?" Si Lian asked curiously.
"Another sentence."
Yiqin recalled Jiang Keer's expression at that time, and suddenly smiled helplessly.
She tried to imitate Jiang Ke'er's confident and firm tone when she said that sentence, and repeated:
"'Emperor Jing will cry and beg me to come back.'"

(My condition has improved. I will update 2 more tomorrow.)
(After 12 o'clock, it will be a new month. Please, I'll give you a monthly ticket...)
84. Dan Sheng
Looking up at the unresponsive blue sky, Jie Shui lowered his head, feeling a little melancholy.
"We can't go back," he said, and then he smiled indifferently, "It's okay, it's worth it anyway."
"Well, it's worth it." Gan Ruanruan also smiled.
She was about to lean against a tree to rest, but Jiang Keer pulled her away.
"There are many dangers in the other world. We must be careful here, take precautions, and try not to touch anything here if possible." Jiang Ke'er warned with a very serious expression.
"Why?" The little demons were puzzled. Gan Ruanruan asked in confusion, "We have been waiting here according to your instructions, but it has been two days and we haven't encountered any beasts. It seems safe here..."
"Many dangers are invisible," Jiang Ke'er shook her head. "Just like spiritual energy, you can't see it, but it can actually affect us. The same is true for bacteria and viruses. Our cultivation has not yet reached the Seven Lights, and we don't have microscopic vision, so we can't see their existence at all."
"What are bacteria and viruses? A kind of poison?" Gan Ruanruan's curiosity was immediately aroused.
"Yes," Jiang Ke'er nodded. "Although the disease has been extinct in Shenzhou for many years, we cannot be sure whether there are viruses in the other world that can harm monks. If there are, our bodies will have no resistance to them because we have no experience in dealing with them, which will be a disaster for us."
Jiang Ke'er clearly remembered that in her previous life, every time an astronaut returned from space, he had to undergo thorough disinfection to prevent bringing back super germs from space.
This is an extremely necessary step. We should be prepared for the worst. Once that worst happens, it will be a disaster of genocide.
Gan Ruanruan nodded, not quite understanding what was going on.
The monks in Shenzhou have no concept of disease. Since the day they embarked on the path of cultivation, disease has been completely eliminated.
The only thing that can threaten them is poison, but most of Shenzhou's toxins are chemical toxins, not bacteria or viruses, so their infectiousness is also very general... Therefore, Jiang Ke'er's spore poison is difficult to understand from their perspective, and its effect is outstanding.
"But it's time to explore this world," Jiang Ke'er said as she stood up. "Remember to wear your mask and protective clothing at all times. Don't take them off unless absolutely necessary, even in combat."
"Okay, okay." Although they didn't care in their hearts, the little demons would still strictly follow Jiang Ke'er's instructions.
Before exploring this completely unknown world of giant trees, Jiang Ke'er stood in front of the little demons, looked into their slightly melancholy eyes, and said firmly: "Don't worry, we can go back."
"..."
The little demons did not answer, but they obviously had no hope in their hearts.
"Believe me, sooner or later, Emperor Jing will beg us to go back. Maybe it will be tomorrow, maybe next year, maybe ten years later... but that day will come sooner or later," Jiang Ke'er said in a deep voice, "So what we have to do now is to protect ourselves and live until that day comes. Don't act impulsively and do stupid things."
"clear."
Jiang Ke'er finally felt relieved after receiving the affirmation from the little demons.
She was ready for a long game.
But she didn't expect that day to come so soon.
*******
As one of the three most powerful alchemists in all of Shenzhou, Alchemy Saint Liu Jinting has always believed that medical practitioners are just a relic of history.
That kind of cautious and inefficient treatment method is obviously only needed by peasants who can't afford high-level elixirs. High-level cultivators don't need those. They can just come to me and buy a Nine-Turn Hundred-Quenching Pill, which can detoxify, restore spiritual power and heal wounds. Why do they need to use a hesitant medical practitioner?
The world of cultivators has developed, and the human race is flourishing! All situations can be solved with elixirs, and ordinary medical practitioners have no meaning to exist! He strongly supports Emperor Jing's behavior of eliminating medical practitioners! Anyway, having elixir practitioners is enough!
So, when he heard that there was a royal patient who needed his personal visit, he did not take such a small matter to heart.
For hundreds of years, he has always been able to cure all kinds of diseases with medicine, and has never encountered any difficult or complicated diseases. It's boring.
Arriving at the military camp on a private cloud boat, the military doctor saw his face and became red with excitement. He said in a trembling voice, "It's the Alchemy Saint! Master Alchemy Saint Liu Jinting! Please come in quickly!"
Liu Jinting nodded slightly, strode into the tent where the patient was placed, with his head held high, and put on a very poised attitude.
As soon as he came in, he heard a burst of crazy coughing, mixed with the weak and hoarse cry of the patient: "Water... give me water..."
The maid beside him hurriedly handed over a large bowl of water. The skinny man sat up and gulped down the whole bowl of water in a blink of an eye.
