"Humph, I just passed the first level, what's there to be proud of? I've never seen the world!" Someone over there sarcastically said.
Ling Xuewei saw that the man's clothes looked familiar, and after thinking for a moment, he realized he was a disciple of the Lu family whom he had met before.
Is it possible that everyone in the Lu family likes to look for trouble?
"Isn't this Senior Brother Ximu?"
Someone on the other side saw Xi Mu and shouted in surprise.
When he saw Ling Xuewei next to Xi Mu, he let out an even more exaggerated cry.
"Why don't you see the pharmacist who follows you all the time? Who is this? Your new one?" The man advised kindly with a look of disdain, "Brother Xi, I'm not talking about you, this random cat or dog you found from outside
You use it too? Aren't you afraid that if you are not careful, others will trick you again? It seems that the losses you suffered before have not given you a long memory!"
Xi Mu saw a flash of anger flashing in this man's eyes.
But he quickly calmed down. He looked at the man and said with a sneer, "Don't you know the reason why I found someone else? You still have the face to snatch someone away from us using such despicable means."
Are you showing off your power here?! Wang Meng, the Qingmao Sect has trained you for so many years in vain, but you don’t want to train a ruthless person! You abandoned the sect for profit, do you really think these people are doing it for your own good? Your reputation has been ruined, I will look forward to the future
Which sect family dares to accept you! I will see what will happen to you after you betray the sect!"
A thin man over there shrank his shoulders and showed panic on his face. He was obviously the Wang Meng Xi Mu mentioned.
"Hmph, don't listen to his provocation! He is jealous of you. You are lucky to be able to get along with our Lu family! It's just a small sect that can't even be considered a second-class sect. How dare you say such nonsense here?
Ah! Let me see what you are capable of!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Lu family members left in large numbers.
Xi Mu looked at the direction they left with an ugly expression on his face.
Xi Mu turned to look at Ling Xuewei with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ling, I made you laugh."
"It doesn't matter." Ling Xuewei has already seen the Lu family's arrogance.
Xi Mu smiled bitterly, "As you can see, the man named Wang Meng was originally a disciple of my Qingmao Sect, but in order to get ahead, he betrayed his disciple and joined the Lu family. That's why I anxiously looked for the pharmacist. After all, when it comes to the art of refining medicine, I
I'm not good at it, so if I entered the palace, I would have to think of another way, but fortunately Master Ling appeared."
Ling Xuewei asked in confusion, "Logically speaking, the Lu family is only a second-rate family, why do they dare to be so arrogant?"
Xi Mu said, "Young master, you don't know that the Lu family has hooked up with the Jingyu Sect, which is famous for its medical skills and alchemy skills. Although it is only a second-class sect, all of its disciples have extraordinary medical skills.
, now that we have encountered the Night Emperor, the tide has naturally risen, and our status is different. And..."
As he spoke, Xi Mu looked around mysteriously to make sure no one was eavesdropping, and then quietly leaned into Ling Xuewei's ear.
"I heard that Jingyu Sect gave birth to a man with extraordinary medical skills, and everyone in the world called him the 'Medical Sage'. It is said that after this medical sage came to the imperial palace, he was directly promoted to the palace without being inspected! At that time, I saw
There are many people, and there are rumors in the palace about how the medical saint is so favored. Although I don’t know whether it is true or not, it is different from the past. And the Lu family who has caught up with the Jingyu Sect, naturally everyone is pretending to be powerful.
.”
Medical sage, Jing Yu Sect...
Ling Xuewei narrowed her eyes slightly.
Very good, in her name, you have been deceived here, do you really think that she is a clay figure, and rub her at will?
There was a flash of coldness in his eyes, which made Xi Mu next to him tremble inexplicably.
Xi Mu held his chest with his hands and rubbed his arms.
What's going on? Why do you feel so cold suddenly?
After that, the two of them went to the second level. The difficulty of the inspection obviously went to a higher level, but for Ling Xuewei, they easily got the clearance wooden sign.
By the third level, there were less than fifty people left, and the Lu family was among them.
The people over there didn't seem to expect that Xi Mu could make it to the last level. They glanced at this side provocatively and turned their heads haughtily.
The examiner of the third level is a short old man, and the questions he asks are also very tricky. There are herbs of the same color and the same form everywhere, and you have to find the ones that meet his requirements.
This is testing the sense of smell, eyesight, and discrimination. However, there are so many herbs scattered in confusion, and the flavors are all rushed together, making it difficult for ordinary people to distinguish. Not to mention that these herbs are all very similar. At first glance, they look like they were specially found.
.
In this round alone, more than twenty people were directly eliminated.
Ximu was very lucky and found the right seven kinds of herbs. Others had more, eleven or two, and only three or four.
Ling Xuewei didn't need to use Kunpeng Eyes. She had been among countless medicinal herbs all year round. Identifying medicinal herbs was what she did the most and was the most skilled at it. So she easily found twenty types, looked around, and decided not to look anymore.
Twenty types were handed over directly.
Even so, it still attracted a lot of attention when it was announced.
"Humph, just good luck!"
The people from the Lu family over there made sarcastic remarks.
At the last level, the originally scattered disciples of the Lu family gathered here. Among them was the third young lady of the Lu family, Lu Qing'er, who had a relationship with Ling Xuewei.
It's just that obviously, her strength is not that great, but she has a lot of helpers around her, so she has made it to the third level.
In fact, many disciples of noble families and sects do this. Otherwise, how could they pass the tests of medical officers on their own?
Of course, the medical officers also knew this very well, but originally these doctors relied on these large families. As long as their medical skills were adequate and their numbers were adequate, they would turn a blind eye.
When they get to the palace, they will know the pros and cons, and they will naturally leave in despair without their coming forward.
Half an hour later, the inspection finally ended, and Ling Xuewei and Xi Mu naturally stayed.
Xi Mu suppressed the joy in his heart and said excitedly after he got outside, "We passed! We passed! I can't believe we can enter the palace!"
You know, there are at least four to five hundred people running for election today. If they can stand out from so many people, does it mean that they still have a chance?
"Hmph! It's just a fluke that I got the token to enter the palace. What's there to be proud of? It's really a small sect that doesn't get much attention. Our Lu family got four places! Look clearly!"
Wang Meng was showing off triumphantly, and the third young lady of the Lu family, Lu Qing'er, suddenly walked towards this side.
"Third Miss?"
"You! It's you, I remember you." Lu Qing'er immediately became angry when she saw Ling Xuewei, "That day at Yuesi Pavilion, it was you, right? Did you drug me..."
"What? Did he give the medicine to the third lady?"
When the people from the Lu family heard that the person who made Lu Qing'er itchy last time was Ling Xuewei, they immediately gathered around.
"What a courage!"
…
"What nonsense are you talking about? We don't know what kind of medicine it is!" Naturally, Xi Mu would not watch them bullying Ling Xuewei alone.
Ling Xuewei's eyes fell on Lu Qing'er, who looked angry. Seeing that her face was pale and there were red spots all over her neck, she knew that the poison had not faded away yet.
The itching powder Ling Xuewei took that day was the mildest. It occurred for seven hours every day. During the attack, the whole body was itchy. This itch came from the bones. The more it was scratched, the more itchy it became. There would also be a red rash on the body. Three days later,
The rash spreads all over the body, and once it bleeds when scratched, the wound will fester and become painful.
Of course, this medicine is not fatal. Even if it does not cure the disease, it will heal after seven days without medicine.
Judging from Lu Qing'er's condition, the attack should not last more than four days.
"It's you, who else could it be besides you? As soon as I went back that day, I felt itchy all over. No matter how much ointment I applied, it didn't work!" Lu Qing'er glared at Ling Xuewei, "My body was even covered with disgusting red spots.
Tell me, did you secretly drug me?"
"I'm not the only one who saw you that day. Besides, I have no grudge against you, so why did I poison you?" Ling Xuewei said lightly, "Why don't you think carefully about who you came into contact with that day?
What, or...have you offended someone?"
Ling Xuewei completely diverted the trouble away from the enemy.
Sure enough, Lu Qing'er fell into deep thought as soon as she heard this.
"It's really not you?" Lu Qing'er looked at Ling Xuewei suspiciously.
Ling Xuewei nodded, "It's really not me."
Ling Xuewei's expression was very innocent.
Lu Qing'er looked at the handsome man in front of her and saw that Ling Xuewei's expression didn't look like she was lying, and her mind couldn't help but become excited.
Not him? Who could it be? Could it be...
Damn it! It must be that bitch Ying Zhiyun! Only she would use such despicable means!
"go back!"
Lu Qing'er turned away with a gloomy face. After she left, the others immediately followed her without stopping.
Xi Mu was very frightened. He originally thought he would suffer disaster today. After all, he saw with his own eyes the poison Ling Xuewei gave to Lu Qing'er that day. Unexpectedly, Lu Qing'er was dismissed by Ling Xuewei in a few words.
Xi Mu breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, the matter has been resolved. That Lu Qing'er is famous for being arrogant and domineering. You should be careful when you see her in the future."
"Um."
The two returned to their residence, and as soon as they went upstairs, they were surrounded by Qingmao Sect disciples who came after hearing the news.
"How is senior brother? Have you passed?"
"You must have passed it, right? Our senior brother's medical skills are beyond question!"
"But I heard that the palace medical officer's inspection is very strict..."
…
Everyone was chattering, and Xi Mu quickly interrupted them, "Don't worry, it's over."
The scene suddenly fell into a strange silence, which was obviously an unexpected result.
Immediately afterwards.
"Really?"
"Very good!"
"You know that senior brother is the most powerful!"
…
After reacting, everyone almost jumped with excitement.
Xi Mu also showed a rare smile, "It's not just me, Mr. Ling has also passed, and his results are among the best, much better than mine."
"Really?"
"Master Ling is amazing!"
Everyone began to praise Ling Xuewei without hesitation.
