Chapter 49 The lord has rewarded the beauty, isn't it a surprise?
When Jiang Yao heard Qinghuang Jun's words, she tried her best to suppress the fear in her heart, and showed joy like a self-hypnosis: "It turns out that my lord knows my master. What a coincidence."
At this time, he forced himself not to think or have doubts.
Lord Qinghuang's gaze was like that of a lofty god, making him feel like he was facing an abyss. If he showed even a slight flaw, the other party would immediately know that he was pretending to be a disciple of the Medicine Saint.
But it’s not possible without impersonation, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the fact that he is a second-class pharmacist at the age of twenty.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yao suddenly felt a lightness on his body, and the invisible pressure suddenly weakened a lot.
But I heard Qinghuang Jun's somewhat thoughtful voice: "Eight hundred years ago, I had the chance to meet Li Yaosheng. It was also the last time Li Yaosheng appeared in public. He said that he wanted to hide in the mountains and forests to compile a new pharmacopoeia, what is it called Materia Medica...
"
What?
this…
Jiang Yao's heart was shocked, and she subconsciously said without thinking: "My lord, you really have a good memory. My master compiled a new pharmacopoeia five hundred years ago, and it's called "Compendium of Materia Medica."
Qinghuang Jun chuckled, "Yes. It's the "Compendium of Materia Medica". So, you are undoubtedly a disciple of Li Yaosheng. Zhongda, has this "Compendium of Materia Medica" been compiled?"
Although Li Shizhen is a medicine sage, he retired eight hundred years ago and has long since faded out of the sight of the world. For so many years, there has been no news about Li Shizhen.
In the young generation, almost no one knows the existence of Li Shizhen anymore. And the fact that Jiang Yao can name Li Yaosheng and the pharmacopoeia he planned to compile at that time is enough to show that he does have a close relationship with Li Yaosheng.
"Back to my lord." Jiang Yao suppressed the extreme surprise in his heart and answered matter-of-factly, "My master no longer continues to compile the pharmacopoeia. Only half of the "Compendium of Materia Medica" has been completed."
Qinghuang Jun showed a trace of regret, "Why is this?"
Jiang Yao replied: "In recent years, my master has temporarily given up on medicine and switched to martial arts. Because only by making breakthroughs in martial arts can we extend our lifespan and have the opportunity to study the Supreme Pharmacopoeia and benefit the world."
Lord Qinghuang nodded slightly, "I remember that eight hundred years ago, Li Yaosheng was a martial artist. Is there any breakthrough in martial arts now?"
The martial arts cultivation level of a medicine master is almost not very high, and Wuzhen is the ceiling. Even if the Medicine Saint has reached the level of Martial God, it is already very impressive.
Could it be that Li Yaosheng actually achieved great success in martial arts?
Jiang Yao said without blinking: "My master was helped by a Dayin Martial Saint in the martial arts, and the two became close friends. Therefore, my master was lucky enough to break through to the realm of martial arts. However, my master did not
The plan to leave the mountain has been hidden all this time."
Since he lied, Jiang Yao would just put on another tiger skin.
Wuxian!
Whether they believed it or not, the Qing clan monarchs and ministers all looked shocked.
Martial Immortal, that is a great master who surpasses Martial God and is second only to Martial Saint!
There is a medicine sage on the path of medicine, a martial arts sage on the martial arts path, and there is a Dayin Martial Saint as a close friend. What kind of existence is this?
The disciples of such a person, even if they are only named disciples, are considered to have a distinguished status.
Why did he come to the Western Regions in such a down-and-out manner to make a living in the Qing Clan?
Lord Qinghuang has met Li Shizhen and knows that Li Shizhen's qualifications in martial arts are also very good, which is different from most pharmacists. After so many years, it is not impossible for him to break the rules and practice to become a martial arts immortal.
But a retainer raised a question with complete disbelief:
"Mr. Zhongda, you are both a disciple of the Medicine Saint and a disciple of the Martial Arts Immortal. You have a promising future. Even a first-class martial arts clan would not refuse a letter of recommendation from your master. Why did Mr. Zhongda go from the Eastern Region to the Western Region instead of the near and far away?
, seeking the position of retainer of my Qing clan?"
This man has a green robe, a tall crown, and an elegant appearance. He is Lan Sheng, a first-class retainer of the Qing Clan, and the proprietor of Mingyue Tian. He is clearly a master of the martial arts.
Of course, he didn't know at this time that his goddaughter Lan Lan had already had a conflict with the snake stick boy and took over Liang Zi.
Jiang Yao smiled bitterly, "It's really an accident. This junior didn't come to the Western Region for training. Instead, when he was taking his roommate to play in the Eastern Region, he triggered the ancient teleportation array and was transported to the Western Region. All his savings were spent and he could only rely on himself to make plans.
A way out."
I see.
Although the retainers were dubious, they could not find any flaws. Lan Sheng did not ask any more questions.
Because today's Qing clan really needs a second-class pharmacist.
Relatively speaking, Qinghuang Jun believed in Jiang Yao more because he was the only person here who had met Li Shizhen and knew Li Shizhen.
"So, your coming to Qing Clan is just a temporary measure. Once you have enough savings, do you still want to return to the Eastern Region?" Lord Qing Huang said calmly.
"Returning to my lord." Jiang Yao looked respectful, "I feel ashamed. I want to say something disrespectful to my master. My master hopes that his disciples will stay away from fame and wealth and concentrate on studying medicine. He does not support us in going out to serve the martial arts clan."
"None of our brothers and sisters has received a recommendation letter from my master to become a military official. Even if I am still in the Eastern Region, my master will not seek the position of retainer for me."
This time, everyone understood.
This Jiang Zhongda had ambitions of fame and wealth, and was willing to serve the martial arts clan. However, his master wanted to go into seclusion, which hindered his disciple's career as an official.
In this way, since Jiang Yao came to the Western Region by accident, he probably doesn't want to return to the Eastern Region. He still has a young sister to raise, so of course he wants stability, rather than wandering around as a wandering cultivator.
At least within a few decades, he will not return to the Eastern Region.
After inspecting this point, Lord Qinghuang has already made a decision.
A disciple of the Medicine Saint, a second-class medicine master, even if his martial arts skills are low, it is enough to be a retainer.
"Zhongda, are you really willing to serve me, Qing Clan?" Lord Qing Huang showed a gentle smile.
Jiang Yao paused solemnly, "My servant can serve me, Daqing, and share the Lord's worries. I am willing to do so, but I cannot ask for more!"
Work for me, Daqing?
This statement is quite novel.
But it sounds very good!
"That's very good. Zhongda will step aside first. We will make our own arrangements later." Lord Qinghuang was very satisfied with Jiang Yao's performance.
"No!" Jiang Yao bowed and walked backwards out of the hall.
Jiang Yao knew it was done. His and Yu Yan's safety had been guaranteed.
It wasn't until he left the Qinghuang Palace that the shock that had been sealed in Jiang Yao's heart was slowly released.
Unexpectedly, Li Shizhen, the medicine sage, actually exists in the Eastern Region.
And it seems that Li Yaosheng also compiled the Compendium of Materia Medica.
This is so weird.
What's going on?
Are there really such coincidences in the world?
impossible!
I don't believe it!
…
"Qinghuang Jun's order: Appoint Jiang Yao Jiang Zhongda as a second-class retainer and concurrently as the medicine envoy, this order!"
When Jiang Yao was introduced to Qinghuang Palace again, the appointment and removal of retainers was finally issued.
"My lord, I thank you for your kindness. Long live, long live, long live! May I be Qing Qing for generations to come!" Jiang Yao was overjoyed and thanked the aloof Qinghuang Lord.
The retainers all showed a hint of contempt.
What kind of lord, Long En, long live, long live, long live, for thousands of generations? How can there be such a weird saying? Isn't this too much?
This person is shameless.
Lord Qinghuang didn't take it seriously, but felt somewhat benefited from such words.
Even the Martial Saint has a lifespan of only five thousand years at most.
Once your cultivation reaches Wuzhen, every time you break through a major realm, the difficulty will increase tenfold.
He has been stuck in the realm of martial arts for two or three hundred years and has been unable to break through to the realm of martial arts. If he has been unable to break through, he will only have a life span of more than two thousand years.
It's far from long live, let alone... ten thousand live!
"Zhongda is not polite. You are a second-class pharmacist and a disciple of the Medicine Saint. The position of second-class retainer is actually wronging you. However, your martial arts cultivation is not high. When you break through the martial arts, I will promote you to the first class.
Wait for the retainers."
In the warrior realm, getting a third-class retainer is considered lucky. But Jiang Yao was appointed as a second-class retainer, which is an exceptional treatment.
Although Lord Qinghuang is a clan leader and a perfect martial artist, he is still very sincere when recruiting talents.
All for use!
This is a common characteristic of almost all martial lords. In order to attract talents and compete with surrounding forces for hegemony, they have always been relatively polite towards talents.
If you don't cherish your talents, they will go to your opponents and become your enemy!
In an era of great competition, resources determine everything. Talent is one of the most important resources.
"Something must have happened to Pharmacist Dong. I will reward you with his cave. Zhongda must manage the medicinal garden inside it well. It is one of the major medicinal gardens of our Qing Clan." As expected, Lord Qinghuang gave away Pharmacist Dong's cave.
, and forwarded it to Jiang Yao.
That cave is very close to Jun's Mansion. It is a medium-to-high-grade cave, and because there is a medicine garden inside, the cave is very large.
Many retainers looked at Jiang Yao with envy.
Such a wonderful cave actually belongs to this young man with a snake stick who has just arrived.
What a good life.
"My lord, I thank you..." After Jiang Yao expressed his loyalty again, he was taken down by a retainer to apply for identity.
First, I went to a place called Zhonghun Hall to register the soul pattern plate, record the soul breath of the ginger medicine, and then use the Zhonghun Seal to imprint the ginger medicine with the ripples of Qingva.
In fact, it is like filling out files in later generations.
If Jiang Yao falls, Qing Clan will immediately know where he fell.
Of course, if you betray the Qing clan, your soul will also be damaged, but that's all.
Afterwards, a green jade plaque was handed over to Jiang Yao. The jade plaque was engraved with the martial emblem of the Qing clan, and Jiang Yao's name and position were engraved on the reverse side.
This is not only an identity card, but also a key to unlocking the protective formations throughout the Qing Vale. With this, you can freely enter and exit the protective formations.
In addition, there is also a set of real clothes with cyan patterns and a high green crown.
That's right, it's a green crown.
This is also the standard equipment for Qing clan retainers.
There are also five hundred spirit jade, which is Jiang Yao's monthly salary.
Many casual cultivators can't earn more than 500 yuan for a year's hard work, but it is his monthly salary.
There is also the formation key to the cave.
Work, house, solve it together.
Finally, the retainer took Jiang Yao to a cave filled with beautiful women, and said a few words to a woman inside who seemed to be a female retainer.
After that, two girls with bright eyes and sharp teeth, who were both happy and angry, came to Jiang Yao with shy smiles.
"I have met Mr. Zhongda." The two girls saluted together.
The voices of the two, one is soft and charming, the other is melodious. One is wearing a green skirt and a bun with a bun, and her appearance is sweet. The other is wearing a pink shirt with a bun, and is elegant and gentle. It can be said that they are spring flowers and autumn chrysanthemums, each is good at winning.
They are at most twenty years old, elegant and beautiful, with outstanding appearance, and their cultivation is in the middle stage of warriors.
"You two..." Jiang Yao understood.
Sure enough, the retainer smiled and said, "Mr. Zhongda, these are the Taoist companions and assistants gifted by the lord. If Mr. Zhongda doesn't like them, you can replace them."
Jiang Yao smiled bitterly in his heart, but he could only show joy on his face, "Please reply to my lord, fellow Taoist. I will burst into tears with gratitude. I will devote my whole life until my death."
Yu Kuan glanced at the two women and closed his cold eyes.
