I Just Won't Play by the Book - Chapter 172
Chapter 172 Prodigy 1
After the three of them got to know each other better, Jiang Beiran walked back and said to them, “Since we all know each other, let’s get on the cloud first. We can talk about the rest in the cloud.”
“Yes.” The three of them cupped their hands at Jiang Beiran and walked into the cloud one after another. Only Luo Wenzhou was on the cloud for the first time, and his face was still filled with curiosity.
Finally, when Jiang Beiran also entered the cloud, the cloud began to float slowly.
Wu Qingce, who had already flown once, looked at Luo Wenzhou and said, “Brother Luo, the speed of the cloud will be extremely fast later. You’d better be prepared.”
“Thank you for the reminder, Brother Wu.” Luo Wenzhou cupped his hands at Wu Qingce and took out an amethyst bottle from his storage ring and poured a pill into his hand. It was the heat-clearing pill that Jiang Beiran had just given to Wu Qingce and the others.
“Wenzhou.”
Hearing his master suddenly call his name, Luo Wenzhou immediately turned around and cupped his hands. “Yes.”
“Let me see your heat-clearing pill.”
“Yes.” Luo Wenzhou answered and went forward to offer the pill with both hands.
Jiang Beiran took a look at it. He exclaimed in his heart that this kid’s talent in alchemy was so high.
“You were able to refine such a high-quality heat- clearing pill in such a short period of time. I can see that you have indeed practiced diligently as I said.”
“I will remember every word of your admonition. If I don’t even make this bit of progress in an entire year, then I will be ashamed of myself.”
“It’s already been a year…”
Jiang Beiran couldn’t help but recall the first time he saw Luo Wenzhou a year ago.
That time, Jiang Beiran went down the mountain to look for some ores. When he passed by a small village, he found that there was an outbreak of plague in the village.
The system did not trigger any option, so Jiang Beiran walked into the village.
But just as he was about to treat the villagers, he found that someone had already been one step ahead of him and isolated the sick villagers to a corner of the village. In addition, he had also used the medicinal powder made from the clover grass to “sterilize” the entire village. It could be said that he was quite professional.
Amidst the waves of coughing, Jiang Beiran quickly asked the villagers where the “Miracle Doctor Luo” was.
When Jiang Beiran first met Luo Wenzhou, he had a very good impression of the kind doctor. Luo Wezhou’s cultivation was not high, but he was at least at level 2 of the mystic realm. With this cultivation, his body would also collapse if he infected by the plaque as well. However, Luo Wenzhou was not worried about this at all. He traveled alone in the quarantine zone, bringing hope to all the patients inside.
After observing for a while, Jiang Beiran found that Luo Wenzhou’s medical skills were not very brilliant. At most, he could only transfer mystic energy into the bodies of the villagers and use this method to delay their deaths.
After observing for four hours, Jiang Beiran was sure that Luo Wenzhou could not save the plague by himself. So, he decided to lend a hand
For cultivators, treating ordinary people was a very troublesome matter. Firstly, they could not inject large amounts of mystic energy to cure them, because the fragile bodies of ordinary people could not withstand it at all. Before the disease was cure, the mystic energy would cause a dangerous side effect to their bodies.
In addition, pills could not do either. This kind of pill, which was thirty percent toxic to cultivators, was even more toxic to ordinary people than arsenic. Therefore, unless one could refine a very low-toxic excellent tier pill, the medicinal pills of other cultivators were toxic to ordinary people. Under these two major restrictions, Jiang Beiran had to rely on traditional medical skills to treat these villagers, which were acupuncture and Chinese medicine.
At first, Luo Wenzhou was very surprised by Jiang Beiran’s sudden appearance. After seeing him quickly appease a patient who was about to cough his lungs out, Luo Wenzhou knew that Jiang Beiran was a good doctor.
So, he took a step forward and asked Jiang Beiran, “Is there anything I can help you
with?”
Jiang Beiran glanced at him, he nodded and said, “Three maces for the palace herb, two maces for the cornflower, half a mace for the six-valley grains, and one cent for the evening primrose. Mixed the four ingredients evenly. First, boil it over a strong fire, then simmer it slowly. Stop the fire at the right time and get the medicine. Filter out the impurities in the pot, such as jasmine and sesame paste, and the medicine will be ready.”
“Okay, I’ll go decoct the medicine right away.”
Finally, after the two of them worked together for three days, the plague in the village was basically under control. In the quarantine zone, patients who had been treated returned to their families and hugged their wives and daughters tightly.
During this period, Jiang Beiran liked Luo Wenzhou even more. This young man was diligent and studious. He was not afraid of dirt or hardship. No matter how tired he was, he could always put on a smile to comfort the patients.

There was only one slight problem that made Jiang Beiran speechless. That was that this guy was really too open-minded. Luo Wenzhou was born with a good skin. After coming to the Land of the Black Dragon for so long, this was the first time that Jiang Beiran thought that someone could compete with him in terms of looks.
His handsome appearance coupled with his perfect personality, and he was also the great benefactor of this village, causing all the girls in the village to treat him as their dream lover. They even risked the risk of being infected by the plague to come and bring him tea and water, or they could hand him a hot towel.
Luo Wenzhou also did not refuse anyone who came, and he was incredibly open and aboveboard. He would accept the love of another girl in front of all the girls, without hiding or cheating. He was just short of saying to all the girls, “You are all my lovers.”
Although in this polygamous society, what Luo Wenzhou was not necessarily wrong, Jiang Beiran still felt that this guy was too unfaithful.
