Chapter 161 Master's Wife Accepts a Disciple
"Liu Ying, medical skills are endless. There are always new patients. Even now, there are diseases that I cannot cure. The epidemic cannot be cured by any Chinese medicine. You also know that this epidemic was cured by the elixirs made by my master and my wife. The epidemic in Zhao State was also cured by the elixirs they made, and the people were treated. Do you want to be like them?" Qiqi asked.
"Master, I will now take Master's Wife as an example, study medicine diligently, and practice martial arts hard to repay you for saving my life. I also want to learn how to refine pills and treat more patients like Master's Wife. I want to ask Master's Wife to be my master, Master, please help me." Liu Ying knelt down to Qiqi.
Qiqi looked at Xiaohua and Xiaolan, and they both shook their heads. They didn't mean anything.
"Liu Ying, do you know? Refining pills is very hard work. One has to endure loneliness. It also requires responsibility and accountability."
"Original Poster, I'm not afraid of hard work or loneliness. I just want to save more people like you."
"Okay, Liu Ying, remember what you said. I will discuss it with Master's wife and let her make the decision. Wait for my news." After saying that, Qiqi went to watch them train.
She saw that Liu Ying was a standout among the girls. Qiqi saw that Liu Ying was very hardworking. She wasn't the smartest, but she was the most diligent. During training, she wasn't afraid of being beaten. This is what they call learning from one's mistakes.
Zhou Jingze came to find Qiqi, and they quickly returned to the valley.
"Master's wife, Miss Liu Ying has taken the initiative to ask you to be her master. Xiaohua and Xiaolan both said that she has good character."
Qiqi recounted her conversation with Liu Ying.
The master's wife also agreed to accept Liu Ying as her disciple. They planned to go down the mountain tomorrow.
Qiqi got up at dawn. Zhou Jingze practiced outside for 25 minutes. After they had breakfast together, they left the valley.
The four of them arrived at the main hall of Lingxiao Sect. Xiaohua and Xiaolan were waiting for Qiqi and the others.
Qiqi told them that Master's Wife was willing to accept Liu Ying as her apprentice. Xiaolan went to fetch Liu Ying. Qiqi and Xiaohua prepared their apprenticeship supplies. Liu Ying arrived.
"Liu Ying, if you want to become my disciple, I have several conditions. If you agree, I will accept you as my disciple. First, you must be loyal to your host. Second, when you study medicine, you cannot discriminate between high and low status. You must focus on the common people. Third, when the country is in trouble, you must help when you have the ability to. Can you agree to these conditions?" asked the master's wife.
"Master's wife, I agree to these conditions. I will follow the example of the host and Master's wife, help the common people get treatment, put the interests of the country first, help the country unconditionally, and do my best. Master's wife, please accept me as your disciple." After Liu Ying finished speaking, she knelt in front of Master's wife.
"Okay, Liu Ying, I will accept you as my disciple today."
"Master, I bow to you." Liu Ying kowtowed three times. She then took the tea Xiaohua had handed her and raised it respectfully above her head.
"Master, please have some tea." The master's wife took it and drank it in one gulp. She took out a pill. This is a gift for becoming a disciple. It can increase your power. I give it to you. After taking it, you can advance. She also took out a book on alchemy. This book on alchemy is for you. Take some time to read it. I will test you when I come back. Make sure to remember the ratios of the pills in this book. I will teach you alchemy next time."
"Thank you, Master. I will."
The Master's Wife went to see Xiao Rui and Zhao Yu again. They were teaching Qiqi's brothers how to cultivate and practice formations, often serving as sparring partners. Yuntian and the others were making rapid progress, and Xiao Rui and Zhao Yu were also teaching them the techniques of the immortal realm. The Master's Wife gave them a few words of advice and then reunited with Qiqi and the others. They didn't stay on the mountain for long. They headed down.
Soon they saw the secret guards waiting for them at the foot of the mountain. Zhou Jingze ordered the secret guards to go to the palace of Yongning Kingdom.
Yun Jizi and Zhou Jingze, the master and his apprentice, rode on horses, while Qiqi and his master's wife sat in the carriage. His master's wife was sewing clothes.
Qiqi wanted to sleep again. "Qiqi, I see you're a little tired. Master's wife, let's go to the space and get some sleep. You're over four months pregnant now. You're a little sleepy carrying two babies."
Qiqi and the master's wife entered the space. Qiqi went to the bedroom of the medical room. The nurse was sewing clothes in the living room.
"Qiqi, at noon, Master's wife will prepare dinner and call you. You should sleep a little longer. You got up a little early today."
"Okay, thank you, Master's Wife." Qiqi lay down and fell asleep in a moment. Master's Wife returned to the living room to sew clothes.
The master's wife remembered that she hadn't cleaned the young lady's hall for several days. She put down the clothes she was sewing, picked up the broom, and went to the hall. She cleaned the hall inside and out, and wiped the young lady's portrait as well.
"Miss, you saw that Qiqi is very kind and diligent in her cultivation. She accomplished what you failed to do. I saw that Zhou Jingze looks very similar to your friend, but I'm not sure. He looks exactly like you. You and your friend have feelings for each other, but his family is against you being together.
Qiqi and Zhou Jingze married with their families' blessing, and Qiqi is now pregnant. We're all happy for her. She's your continuation. I'll treat her well, just like I treated you. Xiaorui, Zhao Yu, Xiaohua, and Xiaolan are also very kind to Qiqi. They're helping Qiqi's brothers cultivate, and Xiaohua and Xiaolan are training the women's army. They're all helping Qiqi. They're making her family strong, so she can have no worries when she journeys to the immortal realm for revenge.
I'm not progressing as fast as Qiqi right now. She has taken your master, Ling Xuzi, as her disciple and is practicing immortal arts.
"Miss, your master should know something. He's on the ninth floor of the Nine-Colored Exquisite Tower. I can't get there, so I can't ask him questions. I still don't know who your enemy is. I have some guesses, but I have no evidence. I don't know how to return to the Immortal Realm. Miss, I dare not tell Qiqi this. Qiqi is a child with a lot on her mind, keeping some things to herself and never sharing them with anyone. I hope Ling Xuzi will tell Qiqi about you, so that she can become stronger and avenge you in the future."
The master's wife spoke to the young lady's portrait, tears in her eyes. "Young lady, I miss you. Can you come back?"
The master's wife was afraid that Qiqi was hungry, so she wiped away her tears and went to the kitchen to cook.
Qiqi woke up hungry, she got up and went to the restaurant, where her master's wife was cooking.
"Master's wife, I'm hungry. What delicious food did you make?" Qiqi said coquettishly.
"Qiqi, another dish is ready. You go to the restaurant and eat it first. I will bring it over after it's cooked." said the master's wife.
Qiqi went to the restaurant, ate a few bites, and waited for the master's wife to come.
"Master's wife, I'm waiting for you." Qiqi shouted.
The master's wife hurried over with the dishes.
"Qiqi. Master's wife is here. Come and eat! I'll serve you some rice. Eat more of these dishes."
"Okay, Master's wife, don't just pick food for me. Let's eat together." Qiqi said.
"Master's wife, this braised spareribs is so delicious. When we pass by Fuxiangju, can you teach the chef how to make it?"
