To heal the sick and save lives, start with the Sunflower Manual!

The western part of the city is mostly inhabited by ordinary people who all know each other and see each other all the time.

When Lu Yao went out to buy food, quite a few people greeted her.

These days, who can guarantee they'll never have a headache or fever?

After buying some ordinary food at the Yuelai Inn, he decided to stay inside and listen.

In an effort to attract more guests, Yuelai Inn recently hired a storyteller and specially set up a table for him in the middle so he could talk every day.

This has attracted quite a few visitors from the surrounding area.

Since people usually don't have much to do to pass the time, the Yue Lai Inn, with its storyteller, naturally became their first choice.

"Snapped!"

With a clapper, the scholarly-looking middle-aged man sat down behind the table.

A cup of tea was placed on the table for quenching thirst.

"Gentlemen, today I will not discuss demons and monsters, nor will I engage in idle chatter. Instead, I will speak of the martial world, which is relevant to us both near and far!"

Lu Yao became interested as soon as the middle-aged scholar said this.

He really didn't know much about the martial arts world.

Unexpectedly, this middle-aged scholar seemed to know, and appeared to be quite the talker.

"According to the people of the martial arts world, the First Dynasty should be the number one in the martial arts world. I won't go into that. The First Dynasty is our court, and it should be second to none."

The middle-aged scholar looked at the people in the inn and said with a smile, "But what about under the First Dynasty? There are many forces in the martial arts world, big and small, but if we're talking about those that are truly convincing, then it's naturally the Three Buddhas and Five Paths, the Seven Sects and Twelve Schools."

"The Three Buddhas and Five Paths refer to the three Buddhist factions and the five Taoist factions."

"Among them, the three Buddhist forces are Landa Temple, Kuchan Temple, and Vajra Temple, which are also the three most popular Buddhist temples today. Vajra Temple is located in our Jinling City, and I think you all know about it."

"The Five Paths refer to five Taoist sects: the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain, the Miaoxuan Temple on Qingyun Mountain, Wudang Mountain, the Qilin Temple on Fengming Mountain, and finally, Daojian Mountain."

"The seven sects and twelve schools involve many things, and the relationships between them are intricate, so I won't go into details."

"Today we'll discuss the recent news from Vajra Temple in detail..."

Hearing this, Lu Yao raised an eyebrow and stared at the middle-aged scholar.

To be honest, the seven sects and twelve factions, totaling nineteen martial arts sects, can be said to be the second largest force in the entire martial arts world after the Three Buddhas and Five Paths.

Moreover, there are several families in Jinling City with unclear connections to the Seven Gates and Twelve Sects.

Talking too much is actually bad for you.

The influence of the Three Buddhas and Five Paths is large enough that as long as you say something nice, they will naturally turn a blind eye.

Lu Yao wrote down everything the middle-aged scholar said, which would also be of some benefit to him.

It makes it easier to understand this world.

This middle-aged scholar is clearly trying to boast about the Vajra Temple.

He was spitting everywhere, describing Vajra Temple as if it were the number one Buddhist temple.

Even Lu Yao would have to admire him, let alone the martial monks of the Vajra Temple.

Having eaten and drunk his fill, Lu Yao was too lazy to listen any longer, so he simply got up and left the Yuelai Inn, leisurely heading towards Jishetang.

Along the way, many people greeted him, and every now and then, one or two martial arts practitioners carrying weapons could be seen.

Back at Jishetang, Lu Yao opened the door and walked alone to the backyard.

He glanced at the few closed doors, then his gaze swept around the courtyard.

Then he slowly walked to his room.

Open the door and go inside.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a withered yellow leaf that had been pinched and broken off in the corner of the door.

These are just ordinary leaves, but Lu Yao collected them.

Whenever he leaves home, he will slip a piece of the substance into the cracks or corners of the doors in several rooms.

Lu Yao knew how to ensure the leaves wouldn't be snapped, so he used a bit of force and skill when opening and closing the door.

but now……

The leaf broke!

This has never happened before.

But the fact that the leaf is broken means that someone came to the clinic after he left, and even entered his room.

Lu Yao walked to the table and poured himself a cup of tea, his gaze sweeping across the room.

Everything was neatly arranged and didn't look like it had been disturbed.

Upon closer inspection, Lu Yao could clearly see that some things in the room had been disturbed.

The tables and chairs have all been moved.

The visitor not only ransacked his room, but also restored all his belongings.

This person is clearly a professional.

This is no ordinary thief.

Ordinary petty thieves wouldn't restore everything after ransacking the place.

Lu Yao frowned, then turned and walked outside, quickly stopping in front of the bamboo basket in the corner.

open the lid.

The two sets of clothes belonging to the Xuanming Sect members were still inside, and they had almost dried out.

Did they not notice it, or did they notice it but not do anything?

Lu Yao wasn't sure either, but he still decided to destroy the two sets of clothes as soon as possible.

I went back to my room and got some kerosene and a tinderbox.

This naturally accelerated the destruction process.

He didn't know who was targeting him, but for now, he could only suspect the Xuanming Sect.

After all, the Xuanming Sect had already come looking for him once.

Watching the two sets of clothes burn rapidly, Lu Yao stood to the side with a cold expression, his mind racing as he pondered the purpose of the Xuanming Sect's approach to him.

He usually acts like an ordinary doctor and has never shown his martial arts skills to outsiders.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't have been targeted by the Xuanming Sect.

The other person was searching through my room, clearly looking for something.

and so……

What exactly do I have that would attract the attention of the Xuanming Sect?

Once the clothes were completely burned to ashes, Lu Yao poured the ashes into the flower bed in the corner, mixing them with the soil where the flowers were grown.

Regardless of whether the Xuanming Sect found that thing or not, he could be said to be being targeted.

If this matter isn't clarified, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep peacefully.

The only way to find out what the Xuanming Sect is looking for is to take the initiative to inquire.

Zhou Shaolin!

He also had a member of the Xuanming Sect acting as his bodyguard.

Judging from Master Li's reaction this morning, he was clearly unaware that the Xuanming Sect had contacted him.

Of course, it's also possible that the other party is pretending not to know.

If that's the case, then Master Li's skill in cultivating inner strength is truly first-rate.

In this regard.

Lu Yao had no choice but to try to contact Zhou Shaolin and get some information from him.

If the Xuanming Sect hasn't found anything yet, they will definitely come back again.

It seems unlikely that things will end well between them.

As dusk fell, Lu Yao planned to close the shop and see how things went that night, but unexpectedly, Old Man Ge from next door rushed out in a great hurry.

"Young man Lu, why are you closing so early?"

Old Ge, with his lecherous and roguish air, leaned in and chuckled, "Give me another pot of your tiger penis wine, I'm going to wreak havoc tonight!"

"Didn't I just give it to you this morning?"

Lu Yao's lips twitched slightly, and she asked in shock, "You didn't drink it like regular wine, did you?"

Old Ge chuckled dryly.

He actually did it, and having witnessed the benefits of tiger penis wine, he couldn't wait to come and find Lu Yao again.

but……

Lu Yao sized up Old Man Ge, frowned, and asked, "How...how did you solve it?"

"I went to see Widow Liu. You know it's not easy for her to raise two children alone. I had to take care of her privately."

Old Ge, however, offered an explanation without any sense of shame.

Lu Yao was stunned when she heard this.

He just came out of a brothel last night, and then went to see Widow Liu in broad daylight. Now he's come here again asking for tiger penis wine.

Is this a plan to go to a brothel again?

"Hey kid, stop hiding it, give me a pot."

Old Ge was clearly in a hurry. He rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "Two taels of silver a pot, I've brought the money!"

"Not for sale!"

Lu Yao refused with a dark face, saying, "If you drink and then die in a brothel, won't I be in trouble when the authorities investigate?"

When Lu Yao refused him outright and even tried to close the door on the spot, Old Man Ge was extremely anxious.

Immediately, Old Man Ge reached out to stop the door from closing and hurriedly said, "I'll take you with me, kid. Tonight, that young master from the Zhou family is booking out the entire Yiqing Pavilion to celebrate something. I'll take you to join in the fun. Just give me a pot of tiger penis wine..."
