Chapter 153 Golden Pharmacopoeia

"You, you, I admit I was wrong. You and that black sesame dumpling are really cut from the same cloth, humph!" Bai Jingzhi stuck out his neck, determined not to lose face even when he lost, and to maintain his pride even when admitting defeat.

Gu Qingyue suddenly laughed. This Bai Jingzhi was indeed no pushover!

"Come on, let's talk about the medical skills competition," Gu Qingyue said, her expression changing quickly as she blew on her nails and rubbed her fingers as she asked casually.

Bai Jingzhi stepped forward impatiently and lowered his voice: "Mu Xiaoqi told you, right? There will be a special reward for next year's medical skills competition. The doctor who wins the first prize will not only receive precious medicinal herbs from the Medicine Valley, but will also be able to enter the Medicine Valley to read their secret: the 'Golden Chest Pharmacopoeia.' It is said that this pharmacopoeia is the culmination of hundreds of years of effort from the Medicine Valley and is only open to the public once every hundred years for a limited time of twelve hours."

"Let me tell you, that Zhao Lansheng..."

Gu Qingyue didn't hear what Bai Jingzhi said at the end. Her heart was already churning with turbulent emotions. She felt as if a surge of blood had rushed to the top of her head, as if she were in a dream.

The Golden Chamber Pharmacopoeia? A century-old tradition?

Wasn't that the secret that my grandfather had told me about the family's century-old tradition?

She had also seen the inherited portion, which was a fragment. She heard that there were originally 350 volumes, but she only saw less than 100 volumes at her maternal grandfather's place, saying that it was lost when it was passed down from her ancestors.

Are they from the same movie? Or is it just a coincidence of names?

"Hey kid! What are you spacing out for! Kid! Gu Qingyue!" Bai Jingzhi's voice seemed to come from beyond the heavens.

Gu Qingyue instantly regained her senses.

"Say it again," Gu Qingyue said calmly.

Bai Jingzhi: I want to hit someone!

Lying in the small tent, Gu Qingyue really couldn't fall asleep this time.

If her arrival here was a coincidence, due to the jade clasp, then she obtained the other half of the jade clasp here, opened a spatial dimension, and now the *Golden Chamber Pharmacopoeia* has appeared...

Are they all coincidences?

He kept thinking about it, determined to see if the "Golden Chamber Pharmacopoeia" was the same one he had seen in his previous life.

If it's the same story, then what is Medicine Valley?

Or perhaps, in some mysterious way, she found her grandfather's true family ancestor?

It’s incredible!

She suddenly remembered the old man she had met on the mountain path with Xiao Nian. He said he was a doctor at the foot of Medicine Valley Mountain. Could he know anything about Medicine Valley?

Gu Qingyue flipped her hand and took out the black medicine token. She looked at it over and over for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so she had to give up for the time being.

The next day, when she appeared in the tent with huge dark circles under her eyes, Zhao Lansheng and Bai Jingzhi were both startled.

"You... went out fooling around?" Bai Jingzhi circled around her.

"roll".

Gu Qingyue seemed a little listless.

"If you're not feeling well, take a rest. Don't push yourself," Zhao Lansheng said, his eyes clearly showing concern.

"No need, I just didn't sleep well, it's nothing," Gu Qingyue said lazily, carrying her medicine box as she walked towards the few injured people at the back.

The two men behind him looked at each other for a moment, and then began to treat the soldier's wounds.

After Gu Qingyue had turned a young wounded man into a hedgehog, she sat on a round stool to the side, lost in thought.

According to Bai Jingzhi, Mu Yunchu learned about the Medicine Valley from Mu Yunchu's investigation. Knowing that Gu Qingyue was also obsessed with medicine, she told Bai Jingzhi about it.

She also asked Bai Jingzhi to go with her to the competition so that she could have the opportunity to read the "Golden Chamber Pharmacopoeia".

To win the grand prize in the competition, one must know oneself and one's opponent.

According to Mu Yun Chu, Zhao Lan Sheng is very likely a disciple of Yao Gu, so she sent Bai Jing Zhi to investigate the truth.

If we can get accurate information and learn more about the situation in Medicine Valley, we will have a better chance of winning.

As for why he didn't tell Gu Qingyue directly, Gu Qingyue guessed that he hadn't had a chance before he went to war.

Wait a minute, why didn't they let him find Zhao Lansheng to investigate the situation? Why did they send Bai Jingzhi instead?

Gu Qingyue rubbed her fingers, thinking silently.

It wasn't for the reason she thought it was, was it? She chuckled and dismissed the thought.

Gu Qingyue is currently most concerned about the classic book in the Medicine Valley.

Thinking of Doctor Zhang and Bupleurum, Gu Qingyue decided to write to them to ask how much they knew about Medicine Valley.

"Qingyue, General Gu is looking for you," Gu Qingyue heard someone speak just as she put away the silver needles.

Turning around, he saw Gu Chao behind Zhao Lansheng.

Gu Chao is Gu Yuanming's bodyguard, so why would he come?

Gu Qingyue smiled politely: "Coming right away, please wait a moment."

Gu Chao nodded and waited outside the tent.

A moment later, he saw Gu Qingyue come out carrying a medicine box and quickly came over and said, "General Gu wants you to take the medicine box with you."

"Okay," Gu Qingyue didn't ask any more questions. If she was asked to go over, someone must have been injured.

When she followed Gu Chao to Gu Yuanming's tent with her medicine box, she saw him pacing back and forth anxiously.

"Reporting, General, Doctor Gu has arrived."

"Come in".

Seeing Gu Qingyue carrying a medicine box, Gu Yuanming lowered his voice and asked, "I heard you can cook a lot of food?"

Gu Qingyue: ...Do I really look like a cook?

Gu Yuanen, that big mouth!

Gu Yuanen, who was staking out in a small alley, couldn't help but sneeze loudly.

He rubbed his itchy nose, puzzled.

The next instant, a man in black descended from the sky and began fighting with Gu Yuanen, who was hiding at the corner of the alley. Not far away, Mu Jinyan, who was preparing to launch a surprise attack, was so angry that he jumped up and down.

His first task!

"I know a little bit," Gu Qingyue said with difficulty.

"That's good. There's a special patient here who only you can treat," Gu Yuanming said with a complicated expression and deep eyes.

Huh? So, Gu Yuanming wants me, the 'cook,' to treat the patient?

Gu Qingyue gave the man in front of her a strange look. Gu Yuanming seemed even more dignified than when they last met.

Although he was only about twenty-one or twenty-two years old, his aura was something that ordinary military generals could not possess.

But is he looking down on himself, or is he overestimating himself?

Seeing Gu Qingyue's constantly changing expressions, Gu Yuanming pursed his lips, then, as if remembering something, his face darkened.

"Remember to keep it a secret."

Gu Yuanming turned his head and gave Gu Chao a look, "Explain it to him clearly."

The tall man's face darkened, and his aura suddenly became like a cold winter wind, making Gu Qingyue shiver.

"Yes," Gu Qingyue replied calmly. Since she was just seeing a patient, it didn't matter whether she fed him or gave him medicine, as long as he recovered.

After leaving the camp with Gu Chao, Gu Qingyue was still puzzled. What kind of patient was so mysterious that he could leave Gu Yuanming at a loss?

When Gu Qingyue followed Gu Chao and sneaked into the gate of a separate courtyard, she was still puzzled.

It's a day and a half's journey from here to the Lizhou camp. Gu Qingyue only knows that it's not far from Lizhou city, but she doesn't know what kind of patient would stay here.

When we arrived, it was already dusk. The setting sun, like an egg yolk, hung precariously on the distant summit of Meigu Mountain.

Looking into the distance, the afterglow of the sunset illuminates the mountains and forests in late autumn and early winter, creating a magnificent scene as if the mountains were painted with a rainbow.

Gu Qingyue only glanced at the house and knew that the family in front of her must be extremely wealthy and powerful.

Putting aside the house itself, just the location of this villa, with its beautiful scenery, is something that ordinary people can't afford.
