Chapter 2240

"Give me some of this tea. I feel it helps my cultivation," Sikong Xuran said. Although his time of insight was short, he could still sense the power of the tea.

Zhu Yanyi nodded and packed four small bags. Each bag held about two taels. She divided them among the four of them, one bag each. "I don't have much. I only got this tea occasionally, so I can't supply it in large amounts. I need to drink some myself for daily use, so I can only give you two taels each. Drink it sparingly."

The four did not hesitate and put the tea away.

Ouyang Tianyun said, "Actually, we came mainly to discuss going to the Medical Realm with you."

"There are only three elder quotas in the Medical Realm. I plan to fight for one," Zhu Yanyi said seriously.

"We naturally know you will fight for that quota. I want to ask if you can help me find something when you go there?" Ouyang Tianyun said. "Although I am now at the late stage of Soul Formation, I am not at the peak. So compared to those elders, I probably have no chance of winning. I want to entrust this matter to you for now."

Ouyang Tianyun had spent a relatively long time with Zhu Yanyi and knew her well. Therefore, it was better to speak directly about some things.

"What thing?" Zhu Yanyi asked.

"Nine-Bend Xiaoxiang Grass. It is said to be a herb cultivated by Xiaoxiangzi, one of the Eight Immortals. It was created for those with regrets in their past lives. Taking this herb allows one to see fragments of the past and future," Ouyang Tianyun said seriously. "I won't hide it from you. I have been looking for my two younger sisters but haven't found them yet. They say the Nine-Bend Xiaoxiang Grass has the ability to return to past times, so I want to try it."

Zhu Yanyi glanced at Ouyang Tianyun. "You are indeed silly. Why didn't you tell my husband about this when she was here?"

Ouyang Tianyun paused. It seemed true. Others might not know, but didn't he know the power of the Lord of the Underworld? Instead of asking the main person, he went looking for a side-door method. Ouyang Tianyun slapped his forehead directly. "I am silly. I am a fool."

"Alright, I will keep this matter in mind. After all, I will only be in the Medical Realm for one month. I don't know if I can find it. If I find it, I will bring it out for you," Zhu Yanyi said. She wouldn't make absolute promises, but if she encountered it, she wouldn't give up.

Ouyang Tianyun nodded. "Alright. Let's see if fate allows. If there is, bring it to me. If not, then forget it."

Sikong Xuran then said, "Junior Sister Yanyi, tell us, besides you, who else do you think will successfully win the list of elders?" Sikong Xuran asked curiously.

Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly. "I don't know. To be honest, I don't understand the elders of the Sage Academy." She then added, "Actually, cultivation is indeed important at any time, but the mind is equally important. Sometimes winning against a stronger opponent is inevitable."

"I know what you mean. If all else fails, use medicine. But I must say, if we use this method, they might set conditions beforehand that prevent us from using medicine," Sikong Xuran said.

Zhu Yanyi said, "If you can't use medicine, use poison." Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly. "Everyone catches on to words. If they want to restrict you, you can find loopholes. For example, if they don't allow powder medicine, use liquid medicine. If they don't allow medicine, use poison, flowers, or spells. These are all part of our medical arts. Medicine is just one part. If they can't see through it, don't you understand? Unless they don't use martial competition for selection, but use an assessment method. In that case, it really depends on your own mastery and luck."

Bai Haochen heard Zhu Yanyi's answer, which was close to being shameless, for the first time. She looked at Zhu Yanyi involuntarily, wanting to understand a bit more.

Zhu Yanyi saw Bai Haochen's expression and knew her thoughts. She smiled and said, "Actually, many times, we need to use our brains. You are not brainless one by one. Do I still need to remind you of such things?"

Yuan Yanqiu glanced at Zhu Yanyi. "I never use my brain."

(⊙o⊙)… This was also a strong person. Zhu Yanyi gave Yuan Yanqiu a thumbs up speechlessly. Only she could tell people directly that she didn't use her brain, but spoke with her fists.

Ouyang Tianyun smiled and said, "Junior Sister Yanyi's reminder is correct. We have been too narrow in our medical arts. Medical arts are not just about learning to use medicine, but also about learning to use poison, flowers, and spells. A comprehensive healer is not simply someone who uses medicine."

Sikong Xuran looked at Zhu Yanyi with admiration. "It has been four years since I last saw Junior Sister Yanyi. I didn't expect her to be even more refined in this aspect. I admire you."

"Is this praising me or insulting me?" Zhu Yanyi glanced at Sikong Xuran.

Everyone laughed heartily. Laughter was indeed the best form of communication.

For the next half month, Zhu Yanyi was not as busy as others. Instead, she was very leisurely. When friends came, she entertained them. When no friends came, she played by herself, ignoring everything outside.

However, the fact that Zhu Yanyi was going to participate in the fight for the elder quota was eventually known by the elders.

After learning Zhu Yanyi's intention from Xi Muzheng, the elders could only smile bitterly. They really didn't expect Zhu Yanyi to dig such a smooth pit. But they could not oppose this kind of thing.

Just as Zhu Yanyi said, the student quota was a traded item and was no longer suitable for her. So she chose to fight for the elder quota herself.

Mu Rongyin slowly said, "Actually, we should have let her become an elder long ago. Then we wouldn't have lost a quota."

"Why don't you say that we should have announced the elder after this quota fight?" Elder Dan said.

"Actually, what you say is not bad. But there is no such 'if'. And even with this 'if', according to my understanding of Zhu Yanyi, if she wanted another quota, there would be plenty of excuses," Xi Muzheng said with a helpless smile. Among so many students, only Zhu Yanyi gave her a feeling of helplessness.

Fortunately, Zhu Yanyi was still relatively easy to talk to. As long as she didn't covet her things, she basically had no objections to anyone. Of course, this also meant that such a person was actually the hardest to trade with.

Fortunately, everyone knew this point. Xi Muzheng said, "Regardless, at least you should be glad that she didn't ask for it directly. At least she has to compete with you."

"Dean, your words absolutely did not comfort any of us," Mu Rongyin looked at Xi Muzheng. "Even you are not her match. If we go up, we will definitely lose."
