17 Retentive Memory Talent, Conflict

In Zhang Xuan's small courtyard of the Dragon Gate Escort Agency, there was a small bronze cauldron.

"Seven Leaf Clover, Mysterious Dragon Root…"

Zhang Xuan, who was standing in front of the small bronze cauldron, had a solemn expression. He quickly placed the herbs into the small bronze cauldron.

The herbs that were thrown into the boiling water quickly melted, and the water became turbid.

A rich medicinal fragrance spread out and filled the entire small courtyard.

After placing all the herbs into the small bronze cauldron in an orderly manner, Zhang Xuan's serious expression finally relaxed a little.

"It's better to practice more."

Zhang Xuan sighed.

In the past two months, he had gone on many escort missions. At the same time, he had found a doctor from the escort agency and learned a lot of medical skills from him.

Doctors had a very high status in the escort agency, even exceeding the treatment of ordinary escorts.

After all, the escort agency was in the business of accepting missions. The escorts in the escort agency traveled all day long. It was normal for accidents to happen, so they needed a doctor to treat them.

On the other hand, not everyone could become a physician. They needed to study for a long time and a certain amount of talent to become a qualified doctor.

It could be said that there were even fewer doctors than experts. No matter which faction it was, there would always be doctors with brilliant medical skills presiding over it.

As the largest escort agency in Lin'an City, the Dragon Gate Escort Agency was famous for thousands of miles. Naturally, there were doctors presiding over it.

In the past two months, apart from going on missions, Zhang Xuan spent most of his time learning from doctors.

Zhang Xuan knew that his talent in martial arts was average. When he first went to learn medicine, he did not have much confidence and did not expect to gain much in a short period of time.

However, after coming into contact with medicine, he was surprised to discover that he had a photographic memory.

Not only did medical skills involve many types of herbs, but there were also many combinations of various herbs. It was extremely complicated, especially the characteristics of herbs and the mutual reinforcement and suppression of different herbs.

Without sufficient time to learn and settle down, it was impossible to understand it. This was also the reason why there were so few physicians.

Without talent in this aspect, even if he spent his entire life, he might not be able to recognize all the herbs, let alone anything else.

When Zhang Xuan was learning to recognize the herbs, he realized that as long as he looked at them once, everything he learned would be imprinted in his mind.

What he remembered the most was that after the doctor from the escort agency explained the characteristics of dozens of herbs to him, he asked him about them. He memorized them so proficiently that he shocked the doctor.

The doctor continued to explain more about medical skills to Zhang Xuan. After explaining, he asked Zhang Xuan. Zhang Xuan still answered proficiently, which made the doctor even happier. He praised himself for picking up a treasure.

When the chief escort, He Yushan, heard the news, he was extremely moved. He didn't expect Zhang Xuan to be so talented in medicine.

This made He Yushan value Zhang Xuan even more, and he was even more determined to nurture Zhang Xuan into a trusted aide.

However, Zhang Xuan was not happy at all. He only treated the escort agency as a temporary transition and had no intention of staying in it forever.

After two months of learning, Zhang Xuan had almost mastered the basic medical skills. Today was his first time trying to refine pills.

Zhang Xuan, who had been guarding the small bronze cauldron, carefully controlled the fire according to the doctor's instructions.

As time passed, the turbid medicinal liquid became more and more viscous. Finally, it condensed into medicinal paste.

"It's done!"

Even if Zhang Xuan was calm enough, he could not help but be happy at this moment.

He quickly extinguished the fire and took the medicinal paste out of the small bronze cauldron. Then, he pinched it into pills.

This was how mortals refined pills. To be precise, it could not be called refining pills, but an upgraded version of refining pills.

However, Zhang Xuan was very happy about this. After all, this was his first time refining pills. As long as it was not for nothing, it was a good thing for him.

The pills that Zhang Xuan was refining now were not the Immortal Ascension Pills recorded on the brocade. Instead, they were ordinary pill formulas given to him by the doctor in the escort agency. Zhang Xuan was using them to practice.

"Let Elder Hong comment."

The Elder Hong that Zhang Xuan was talking about was the best doctor in the escort agency. He was also the doctor that Zhang Xuan had learned from.

The doctor lived in the front yard of the escort agency, which was behind the main hall of the Guest Welcoming Building. It occupied a huge area, which showed how much the escort agency valued the doctor.

Zhang Xuan passed through a few doors. When he arrived at the front yard, he heard a familiar laughter from afar. This made Zhang Xuan raise his eyebrows.

The next moment, a woman and two men walked over. When the three of them saw Zhang Xuan, they were stunned and revealed undisguised disgust in their eyes.

Especially Li Feng and Zhao Zhen, they were even more jealous. The two of them subconsciously clenched their fists.

Ever since Zhang Xuan became an escort, almost all the limelight had been snatched away by him. This made Li Feng and Zhao Zhen lose their status in the escort agency.

It could be said that Zhang Xuan was the person Zhao Zhen hated the most.

Especially Li Feng. The last time he went to complain to He Yushan, not only did he fail to chase Zhang Xuan out of the escort agency, but he was also scolded by He Yushan.

This was simply a great humiliation to Li Feng. He would also bear a grudge against He Yushan.

However, due to He Yushan's status, no matter how angry Li Feng was, he didn't show it at all. He still looked normal.

Sensing the dissatisfaction of He Lingxue and the other two, Zhang Xuan did not mind. In any case, he did not plan to stay in the escort agency for long, so Zhang Xuan did not mind.

However, just because he didn't care didn't mean that He Lingxue and the other two didn't care.

He Lingxue's expression turned cold when she saw Zhang Xuan walk past her without even looking at her.

"Halt!"

He Lingxue stared at Zhang Xuan and berated him.

Zhang Xuan frowned and turned to look at He Lingxue.

"Is something wrong?"

Although he didn't care about He Lingxue's attitude, she was the Missy of the escort agency after all. He couldn't not give her face.

If Li Feng and Zhao Zhen called him, Zhang Xuan would have ignored them.

"Why didn't you greet me when you saw me? Do you think you're better than me and look down on me?"

He Lingxue asked with a cold expression.

In the entire escort agency, who wouldn't respectfully call her Missy?

Did Zhang Xuan think that he could ignore her just because her father valued him?

What a joke!

However, He Lingxue no longer looked down on Zhang Xuan. She was angry because Zhang Xuan ignored her.

After all, He Lingxue had witnessed Zhang Xuan's actions.

Especially after escorting the mother and son last time, He Lingxue stopped looking down on Zhang Xuan.

However, she just couldn't stand Zhang Xuan's pretentiousness. He gave her the feeling that he was high and mighty.

"Missy, don't misunderstand. I didn't mean that."

Zhang Xuan waved his hand and explained, "I still have something on. I'll talk to Missy when I have the chance."

After saying that, he left without waiting for He Lingxue to react.

Looking at Zhang Xuan's disappearing figure, He Lingxue became even angrier. She pointed at him and berated him again.

"Self-righteous b*stard, don't think that just because you have some ability, everyone is inferior to you…"

Li Feng and Zhao Zhen also mocked Zhang Xuan and wished they could get rid of him.

The three people's words clearly reached Zhang Xuan's ears. This made him decide to stay away from these disputes.

It wasn't that he was afraid, but he was a little sick of them.
