The Little Lucky Girl.

Afterwards, Dongfang Chenyi and Su Qing carefully placed the Spirit Source Pill in a specially crafted jade box, which was inscribed with intricate runes, said to preserve the pill's spiritual energy. The two hurried back to Medicine King Valley with the jade box.

In the valley, all the disciples who had learned of this gathered around, their eyes filled with curiosity and awe. Dongfang Chenyi walked straight towards his master's residence, a bamboo hut deep in the valley, surrounded by spiritual mist!

The former Valley Master, Xuanfeng Zhenren, was meditating with his eyes closed, seemingly having sensed their arrival. Dongfang Chenyi stepped forward and reported the details of his discovery of the Lingyuan Pill. Xuanfeng Zhenren slowly opened his eyes, his gaze set on the jade box, and nodded slightly. "The discovery of this pill is truly a great opportunity for Medicine King Valley. However, as the innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure, this matter must not be spread to anyone, lest it invite disaster."

Xuanfeng Zhenren stood up, holding the jade box. After pacing for a moment, he said, "I need to study this elixir in seclusion. You should practice in peace in the valley and strengthen the valley's security. If you can understand the method of refining this elixir, the medical skills of our Yaowang Valley will be greatly improved, and we will be able to solve more difficult and complicated diseases in the world."

Dongfang Chenyi took his orders and left. In the days that followed, Yaowang Valley appeared peaceful as usual, but undercurrents surged. The various factions outside the valley seemed to be aware of this, and unidentified individuals were seen spying from outside. Inside the valley, Master Xuanfeng remained in seclusion, while Dongfang Chenyi and his disciples remained on guard day and night. A storm over the Lingyuan Pill seemed to have just begun...

The Spring Examination was approaching. Su Qing's eldest brother, Su Wenbo, and two cousins, along with their servants, were escorted by Shadow Three and Shadow Four to the capital to participate in the Spring Examination...

During the ten days or so he spent in Medicine King Valley, Su Qing felt as if he were in a sacred temple of medicine, immersed in a vast ocean of knowledge every day. Divine Doctor Yue and Old Man Meng, like dedicated navigators, guided Su Qing through the valley's medicinal fields, medical clinics, and scripture storage.

In the medicine field, Su Qing got to know many rare medicinal herbs, which had different shapes and unique habits. Doctor Yue patiently explained the medicinal properties, efficacy and methods of picking and preparing each herb. Su Qing listened attentively, asked questions from time to time, and carefully recorded the key points in his hands. In the medical room, they watched the disciples of Yaowang Valley use acupuncture and medicine to treat patients. The precise techniques and unique application of medical principles opened Su Qing's eyes. In the Sutra Library, ancient medical books and volumes were piled up like mountains. Su Qing read them eagerly, absorbing the wisdom of the predecessors, and often forgot the passage of time.

However, Su Qing was always worried about the trip to the Valley of Divine Doctors, where there were more unknown medical mysteries waiting for him to explore. More than ten days passed in a flash, and Su Qing, Yue Divine Doctor, and Old Man Meng packed their bags and said goodbye to the people in the Valley of Divine Doctors.

They continued along the winding mountain road, surrounded by dense forests, birdsong, and fragrant flowers. But the journey wasn't always smooth. Sometimes they encountered steep slopes, requiring careful climbing; other times, they encountered turbulent streams, forcing them to wade across them in shallow waters. Su Qing's steps occasionally faltered, but his gaze remained steadfast, knowing that every step forward brought him closer to the Divine Doctor Valley.

Along the way, they stopped at several villages. Su Qing would proactively diagnose and treat the villagers, putting into practice the knowledge he had learned in Medicine King Valley. He carefully felt the villagers' pulses, examined their symptoms, and then prescribed the appropriate medicine. The villagers' grateful smiles and simple words became a warm comfort to them throughout their journey.

As the journey progressed, the weather became increasingly unpredictable. Sometimes the sun was blazing high, the heat unbearable, and they could only rest in the shade of trees to rehydrate. Other times, the sky was overcast and the rain was pouring down. They hurriedly sought shelter, getting soaked. But even in these circumstances, they never showed any intention of retreating.

Finally, after countless hardships and setbacks, the faint aroma of medicine wafted from the distant valley, a scent that seemed unique to the Valley of Divine Doctors. Su Qing, delighted, quickened his pace. Divine Doctor Yue and Old Man Meng smiled at each other and followed closely behind. They knew that the legendary Valley of Divine Doctors was about to appear before their eyes, and Su Qing was about to embark on a new chapter in medical exploration.

Su Qing and his group walked along the winding path. The fog gradually dissipated, and the view suddenly opened up, revealing the entire Miracle Doctor Valley. The valley was filled with colorful flowers, and the medicinal fields were neatly arranged. All kinds of rare herbs swayed gently in the breeze, as if welcoming them.

Su Qing couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is the Divine Doctor Valley, it really is a paradise-like wonderland!"

Doctor Yue smiled, his eyes full of nostalgia: "Yes, after not being back for many years, the scenery in the valley is still so charming."

Old Man Meng joked: "You old fellow, you finally decided to come back."

As he was speaking, a young disciple in a green robe hurried over. Seeing Divine Doctor Yue, he quickly bowed and said, "Valley Master, Senior Brother Ouyang has been waiting for you for a long time. Please follow me and your distinguished guest to the main hall."

Everyone followed the disciple. Along the way, Su Qing looked around curiously and asked about the situation in the valley from time to time.

Arriving at the main hall, Ouyang Hexuan quickly stood up and greeted him: "Master, you are finally back! Junior Sister is here too."

Divine Doctor Yue nodded: "Yes, disciple, your little sister is in a bad mood! I brought her to Divine Doctor Valley to relax."

"Junior Sister, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?"

"Third Brother, it's okay!"

"Master, Senior Meng, and Junior Sister, you're all tired from the journey. Go and rest for a while. I'll call you when the meal is ready!"

"Okay, thank you, Third Brother!"

After everyone settled in and rested for a while, Ouyang Hexuan came over to invite them to dinner. The table was filled with medicinal food unique to Divine Doctor Valley. Each dish exuded an alluring aroma, combining deliciousness with health benefits.

As Ouyang Hexuan served food to everyone, he said, "Junior Sister, you must stay longer this time. Several rare medicinal herbs have been discovered in the mountains behind the valley. I'll take you to see them tomorrow. Maybe it will make you feel better." Su Qing nodded slightly. "Thank you for your trouble, Third Brother. I also want to learn more."

After dinner, Su Qing strolled alone through the Divine Doctor Valley. She came to a tranquil lake, its water crystal clear, reflecting the flowers and trees along the shore. Ouyang Hexuan quietly followed, holding an ancient book. He handed it to Su Qing, "Junior Sister, this is a medical book I treasure. It contains unique treatments for difficult illnesses. I think it might be useful to you." Su Qing took the book, her eyes filled with gratitude, "Third Brother, you always take such good care of me."

"You are our only junior sister, I should take care of you!"

In the days that followed, Su Qing followed Ouyang Hexuan through every corner of the Divine Doctor Valley. In the medical hut, they watched their predecessors treat patients and learn various acupuncture techniques and prescriptions. In the herb fields, they personally participated in collecting and identifying herbs, understanding their growth habits. In the Sutra Library, they browsed ancient medical texts, exploring the profoundness of medicine. Su Qing gradually forgot her previous worries and devoted herself to the study and research of medicine. She often discussed cases with Ouyang Hexuan, sharing their experiences. Through these repeated exchanges and practice, both of their medical skills continued to improve. Doctor Yue and Old Man Meng also smiled with satisfaction as they watched Su Qing gradually regain her vitality.

One day, Su Qing was reading a medical book in the pavilion of the Divine Doctor Valley when he suddenly heard a gentle call, "Junior Sister." Su Qing looked up and saw a pretty female disciple walking towards him.

"Who are you?" Su Qing asked doubtfully.

The female disciple smiled gently, but the smile did not reach her eyes. "I am Senior Sister Lingxuan. I heard that you, Junior Sister, had arrived a long time ago, so I came to see you today." As she spoke, she sat down across from Su Qing and casually picked up the medical book on the table and flipped through it. "Junior Sister, you have only been here for a short time. I am afraid that much of the knowledge in this medical book is obscure and difficult to understand. Don't force yourself."

"I remember that my master, Divine Doctor Yue, only accepted three senior brothers and me! When did I get a senior sister?"

"I am the Second Elder's disciple!"

"Oh, I thought so!"

Lingxuan put down the medical book and looked at Su Qing: "Junior sister, you are so adorable. Could it be that there are many young masters outside who are interested in you? Unlike me, I only focus on medical skills and affairs in the valley, especially the things assigned by Senior Brother Ouyang, I always try my best to do my best." After she finished speaking, she glanced at Su Qing vaguely, observing her reaction.

Su Qing's heart moved, and he had already realized that this senior sister had come with bad intentions, but he remained calm: "Senior sister has worked hard for the valley, Su Qing admires her. With senior sister's help, Third Brother will definitely have a lot easier."

Lingxuan seemed irritated, her voice rising slightly: "Junior Sister, you're saying this as if Senior Brother Ouyang and I have some special relationship. However, Senior Brother Ouyang has always been kind and treats everyone well, so please don't misunderstand me."

Su Qing frowned slightly and stopped being polite: "Senior Sister, Third Senior Brother and I are just fellow disciples. If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. Beating around the bush like this is unbecoming of a disciple of the Divine Doctor Valley."

Lingxuan's face froze, then she sneered, "Junior Sister is truly sharp-tongued. I'm just reminding you, don't take advantage of your new status to coax Senior Brother Ouyang into running around for you. He has more important things to do."

Su Qing stood up and looked directly at Lingxuan. "I'm afraid you've misunderstood, Senior Sister. Third Senior Brother helped me familiarize myself with the affairs of the valley out of Master's favor. But Senior Sister, why are you so unreasonably suspicious? I came here to study medicine, not to compete with you for anything. If Senior Sister continues to be so unreasonable, I will have no choice but to tell Third Senior Brother and Master the truth and let them judge."

Lingxuan hadn't expected Su Qing to be so assertive. She felt both angry and frightened. She gritted her teeth and said, "You...don't be so complacent. We'll see what happens." Then, she hurried away. Su Qing gazed at her back and sighed softly, hoping to have fewer such entanglements in the future so he could focus on his medical studies.
