Chapter 2695

The Black Emperor nodded slightly, satisfied with Emperor Kangxuan’s attitude. "I am reassured. You may return. Since you, as the ruler, are willing to take risks personally, I will prepare a surprise for you."

With a wave of his hand, the Black Emperor dismissed him. Emperor Kangxuan startled awake.

Recalling the dream, he immediately ordered his eunuch to summon the State Preceptor. When the Preceptor arrived, they compared notes and confirmed they had both seen the Supreme Black Emperor in their dreams.

"State Preceptor, who exactly is this Supreme Black Emperor?" Emperor Kangxuan asked with curiosity.

The State Preceptor replied, "In our cultivation world, there is a legend. I am merely a beginner cultivator. Cultivators ascend to become immortals, and immortals cultivate further to ascend to the Divine Realm. The Divine Realm is the aspiration of all immortals, and the Supreme Black Emperor is the ruler of all gods."

"That is incredible," Emperor Kangxuan said, his eyes flashing. "Then, prepare horses immediately. The State Preceptor and I will travel lightly to the disaster area."

"Yes," the State Preceptor agreed at once.

While Emperor Kangxuan and the State Preceptor rode swiftly toward the disaster zone, a visitor arrived at Zhu Yanyi’s Suiyuan Pharmacy.

The man was named Lü Xian. His ancestors were also doctors. A plague had broken out in the village near his home. As a doctor, he did his best, but common herbs had run out, so he had come out to forage.

She knew this path well. In the past, there had never been a house here. To her surprise, she saw a building. The plaque on the gate read Suiyuan Pharmacy.

She thought the place was strange. Driven by curiosity, she knocked on the door.

The door opened silently. He walked in, only to find the interior completely different from the exterior. From outside, it looked like a small courtyard, but inside, it was a vast manor.

The entire garden was planted with medicinal herbs, all clearly aged and potent.

"This is yam, this is platycodon, this is licorice, this is burdock, this is ginseng, and this is notoginseng, lingzhi, and fo-ti." He couldn’t count them all. How could there be so many herbs here?

"Do you like these herbs?" Zhu Yanyi walked out, seeing Lü Xian staring blankly at the courtyard full of medicine.

Lü Xian turned around. she saw a young woman, but she carried an indescribable nobility and a majesty she dared not look directly at. she hurriedly bowed. "I was rude. Please forgive me."

"No need for formalities. My Suiyuan Pharmacy cannot be entered by those without fate," Zhu Yanyi said with a faint smile. She then handed her a booklet. "You have two days to memorize everything inside."

Lü Xian didn’t understand what the mysterious woman wanted, but he took the booklet. The cover read Basic Knowledge of Epidemic Prevention.

She was overjoyed and began to read. Remembering her instruction, she started memorizing it immediately.

"Is your Basic Knowledge of Epidemic Prevention hard to memorize?" the Empress asked, coming to Zhu Yanyi’s side and watching Lü Xian study seriously nearby.

Zhu Yanyi shook her head slightly. "As a doctor, one must memorize countless prescriptions from childhood. So my little booklet is not difficult. Two days is enough for her."

The Empress nodded slightly. She knew this, being the Mother of Nature, familiar with alchemy, though not specializing in medical arts like Zhu Yanyi.

Lü Xian memorized until she lost track of time. Two days later, Zhu Yanyi appeared again.

"How is your memorization?" Zhu Yanyi asked.

"Thank you, Fairy. I have memorized it thoroughly." Lü Xian, combining the sudden appearance of the courtyard in the wilderness with this booklet, was certain Zhu Yanyi was no ordinary person. Not knowing her identity, she could only call her Fairy.

Zhu Yanyi smiled faintly. "I am not a fairy. You don’t need to call me that. You can call me Madam Yan."

She continued, "Since you have memorized it, you know what to do. Daily epidemic prevention work must be done well. Prepare the necessary daily items. Besides this, I will give you one more thing."

Zhu Yanyi waved her hand, and a vermilion wood box appeared in front of Lü Xian.

Lü Xian received it with both hands. Zhu Yanyi said, "This box contains medicinal powder I refined to treat this plague. You only need to dissolve this powder in water and give it to people to drink."

Zhu Yanyi added, "About a fingernail-sized amount of powder can dissolve in a bucket of water. Use it as needed. After distributing it to everyone, sprinkle the remainder into various water sources to eliminate the plague from the water. Go."

After speaking, Zhu Yanyi waved her hand. Lü Xian felt herself flying, then steadied herself. Looking ahead, she found the Suiyuan Pharmacy had disappeared.

Lü Xian was now certain she had encountered an immortal. Although the immortal claimed not to be a fairy, she still believed she was one.

Lü Xian hurried away with the medicinal powder.

Watching Lü Xian leave in such a rush, Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly.

Yan Aohan came over and said, "Why didn’t you think of sprinkling the medicinal powder directly in the mortal world?"

"Relying on gods is not as good as relying on oneself. I have done what I can. The rest depends on their daily prevention," Zhu Yanyi said slowly.

"For example, sprinkle lime in the corners of walls in plague areas, sprinkle vinegar or burn mugwort in every house, bury or burn dead rats, do not drink raw water, do not eat raw meat or vegetables, and wash hands before meals and after using the toilet. These are very basic knowledge. If they start learning to do this now, there will be fewer illnesses and plagues in the future."

"The God of Medicine is right. This daily knowledge is indeed important." The Black Emperor returned.

The Empress saw the Black Emperor and said, "You were fast."

The Black Emperor said, "The Emperor and the State Preceptor have also set off. It will take them at most five or six days to arrive here. I observed this Emperor and State Preceptor slightly on the way, so I returned slower than usual. Otherwise, if I had just sent a message, it would have been done long ago."

"How did you do it?" the Empress asked casually.

The Black Emperor smiled. "Very simple. I directly gave them a dream of millet. In the dream, they saw me, and I gave them some guidance. Of course, the most important point is that this State Preceptor is actually a Qi cultivator."

"How is his aptitude?" the Immortal Emperor asked.

"Average, but his temperament is good," the Black Emperor laughed.
