I Just Won't Play by the Book - Chapter 173

Chapter 173 Prodigy 2

However, Jiang Beiran could not give any comment. Otherwise, it would look like he was meddling in other people’s business.

It was only on the fifth day that the imperial doctor sent by the Imperial Court arrived. Jiang Beiran was too lazy to complain about the efficiency of Imperial Court. If they waited the imperial doctor to save the village, everyone in the village would have died long ago.

In fact, based on Jiang Beiran’s understanding, the Imperial Court attached great importance to the prevention and treatment of the plague. The law clearly stipulated that all local officials must report the plague as soon as they discovered it. After all, once the plague spread, there would be millions of people dead because of the plague.

Unfortunately, the higher-ups concerned about this matter, but it did not mean that the underlings did as well. It was not uncommon for people to hide the news of the plague.

The reason for this was very simple. It was for the sake of his political achievements. He was afraid that once he reported it, he would be immediately impeached by his colleague. They would say, “We’re in a large county, how could your area be the only place with plague? It must be because of your poor governance.” After a round of criticism, even if he was lucky enough to keep his job, his career would be ruined.

Seeing that the officials had arrived, Jiang Beiran naturally did not plan to stay any longer. He still had his own things to do.

However, just as he was about to leave, Luo Wenzhou quickly caught up and knelt on the ground, begging Jiang Beiran to teach him medical skills. Jiang Beiran did not expect Luo Wenzhou to directly give such a big bow. But at the same time, he also understood that he indeed had the heart to help the world.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Beiran decided to give this remarkable young man a chance to see if he was qualified to study medicine.

After a series of tests, Jiang Beiran discovered that Luo Wenzhou was not only qualified to study medicine but was also have talent in refining pills.

According to what he said, he had only studied alchemy for a few months, but he was already able to refine a tier 1 pill.

Although a tier 1 pill sounded very weak, if an ordinary beginner wanted to refine a pill that was effective, they would need at least two to three years to get a solid foundation. Therefore, Luo Wenzhou, who could refine a medicinal pill within a few months, was absolutely gifted and could be called a genius.

Moreover, Jiang Beiran also discovered that the quality of the medicinal pill that Luo Wenzhou refined was very high. It must be known that the medicinal pills refined by an ordinary beginner not only had many impurities, but also had great toxicity. However, the medicinal pill Luo Wenzhou refined did not have such a problem at all, he was comparable to a level 2 alchemist.

Jiang Beiran’s curiosity was aroused. He began to carefully observe Luo Wenzhou’s entire refining process. However, regardless of whether it was fire control or purification, he did not display any extremely stunning technique. However, the final medicinal pill that he refined was of very good quality.

“Strange thing…”

Jiang Beiran was impressed. He picked up the recovery pill that Luo Wenzhou had just refined and carefully observed it. However, just when he really could not see anything special about it, his nose suddenly twitched. A faint, special fragrance entered his nostrils.

Instantly, a term appeared in his mind.

“Innate Jade Qilin Body.’

This was the knowledge that Jiang Beiran had suddenly obtained when he had increased his pill refinement points. A person with this kind of physique had special mystic energy. This kind of special mystic energy allowed them to have a great boost when refining pills. It would also be able to reduce the content of the poison in the pills, it was an extremely rare physique.

And the characteristic of this physique was that the medicinal pills that they refined would carry a strange fragrance.

Jiang Beiran’s sense of smell had always been very sensitive, and he was also very clear that ordinary recovery pills should not have this kind of special fragrance.

“It seems like I’ve picked up a treasure.”

Without saying anything else, Jiang Beiran prepared a medicinal bath for Luo Wenzhou, and used it to completely activate his Innate Jade Qilin Body.

After soaking in the bath for three days, Luo Wenzhou could feel that his body had undergone some changes.

With the Innate Jade Qilin Body completely activated, the quality of the recovery pill Luo Wenzhou refined became even more outstanding. Jiang Beiran even thought that the recovery pill Luo Wenzhou refined was even better than his own. This didn’t mean that Luo Wenzhou’s alchemy skills had improved by a lot. The recovery pill was only a tier 1 medicinal pill. It was just an ordinary pill, so it was not particularly hard to refine.

However, Luo Wenzhou could allow the recovery pill to break through the upper limit of a tier 1 pill and play an even greater role.

Jiang Beiran wanted to subdue a genius like Luo Wenzhou. After arranging a few rounds of tests and confirming that the system would not give options to him, Jiang Beiran agreed to Luo Wenzhou to become his master.

After all, he had taken in underlings to deal with various situations. Now that he had met a genius in alchemy, there was naturally no reason for him not to accept him.

Putting away his memories, Jiang Beiran nodded at Luo Wenzhou. “Mm, when this matter is over, I will teach you some fire control technique.”

After Luo Wenzhou heard this, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, “Thank you, Master!”

After around two hours, Jiang Beiran looked down and found that the cloud had already arrived at Lanzhou.

Actually, there was a barrier between the prefectures. If one wanted to pass through, one had to first register as floating population. When Jiang Beiran first saw this policy, he thought of the temporary residence permit and temporary household registration. Basically, the two had the same function.

However, this rule only applied to the common people. As a cultivator who could fly, Jiang Beiran directly entered from above. It didn’t matter whether the barrier was a barrier or not. Even if he stirred up trouble inside and was caught, those people didn’t dare to do anything to a disciple of a large sect.

Before they set off, Jiang Beiran had investigated the Ye family and knew that they were rooted in Jiyuan Town in Sipan County.

He took out the map of Lanzhou that he had made overnight and took a look at it. Jiang Beiran continued to control the cloud move quickly toward the destination.

It was not until the sky was almost dark that Jiang Beiran and his group finally arrived at Jiyuan Town.

They found a secluded place where no one was around and lowered the cloud. Jiang Beiran got up and began to assign tasks to the three people in front of him.

“This time, I’m here to find Ye family in the town, Qing Huan.”

“Here.” Gu Qinghuan answered immediately.

“I’ll give you five days to establish your own network in this Jiyuan Town.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Wenzhou.”

“I’m here.”

“I’ll give you one day to find out the general situation of the Ye family. I’ll tell you what to do next after the job is done.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Qingce.”

Hearing that it was finally his turn, Wu Qingce cupped his fists excitedly and said, “Here!”

“Just stay by my side.”

Wu Qingce was a little surprised after hearing that.

“Alright, let’s split up. I’ll wait for your information here.” “Yes.” Gu Qinghuan and Luo Wenzhou cupped their fists at the same time and walked toward the Jiyuan Town that was shrouded in the night sky.

“Brother Jiang, do you have any secret mission for me?”

Seeing that Gu Qinghuan and Luo Wenzhou had left, Wu Qingce walked to Jiang Beiran and cupped his fists.

“Yes.” Jiang Beiran nodded, “Set up a tent for me here.”

“Ah…” A hint of disappointment flashed across his face, but Wu Qingce still cupped his hands immediately, “Yes!” Then he ran to the side to set up a tent.

Jiang Beiran chose a small hill ode the county as his base. From there, he could clearly see the general situation in Jiyuan Town. As soon as he found the target, he would rush over immediately.

While Wu Qingce was putting up his tent, Luo Wenzhou had already walked into Jiyuan Town. He first quickly walked through the entire town, then walked into a small tavern.

The owner of this small tavern was a young woman who still retained her charm. As soon as she saw Luo Wenzhou enter, her eyes almost went blank. She immediately pushed away the waiter who was going to greet Luo Wenzhou. She personally came in front of him and bowed. “Young master, you look very unfamiliar. You’re not a local, right?”

“Yes.” Luo Wenzhou nodded. “This is my first time coming to Jiyuan Town. I wonder if you can introduce me?”

“Then you’ve really found the right person. No one knows this town better than me. Come, sit down. I’ll explain it to you properly. Pan Sheng, boil a pot of wine for this table and bring a few side dishes.”

“Okay, I’ll be right there!” The waiter who was cleaning the table answered and immediately ran to the kitchen.

After a while, Luo Wenzhou had a preliminary understanding of Jiyuan Town. He knew that this town was the liveliest county in the entire Sipan County, and many people came here to market every day.

After understanding this, Luo Wenzhou looked at the young lady with a little tipsy and said, “I wonder if there are any famous families in Jiyuan Town?”
