Chapter 561
“It didn’t go through?” Zuo Li was surprised this time, “How could it not have pa*sed the review?”
“Professor Zuo, hello, the paper s-3019 was brushed off during the final review.” The staff member was patient back, “Because there was another paper at the same time, also in this field of astrophysics.”
“The final reviewers chose another paper, so the one you submitted was not accepted.”
“Another one?” Zuo Li froze, “Which professor is it? Can I see it?”
“Sorry, Professor Zuo.” The staff member shook his head, “The reviewed papers are kept strictly confidential until they are officially published in a scientific journal.”
Zuo Li’s brows knitted tighter and he didn’t say anything.
He had forgotten about this point.
There were quite a few researchers in this field of astrophysics, many of whom had been working on it for decades.
The paper that Ying Zigui had written was superior in that it had a novel point of view.
After reading it, he thought she had been around the universe for a while.
But if she was really compared to those professors in their 60s and 70s, she was still a bit behind academically.
After all, they had been famous for a long time, but Ying had only just started studying for a year.
It makes sense that it collided with another paper and didn’t pa*s the review in the end.
One could only say it was bad luck.
“That’s fine.” Zuo Li could only say, “Please return the paper s-3019, I’ll forward it to another institution.”
The International Physics Center was authoritative, but it didn’t mean that only this one could be chosen.
Hearing this, the staff member’s voice paused for a few seconds before giving a reply, “Okay, Professor Zuo, this will be returned to your file.”
After Zuo Li withdrew his thesis, he still decided to give Ying Zigui a word before he dropped it off for the second time.
“Ying, that essay thing hey hey hey, don’t hang up, it’s not for you to write!” Zuo Li almost couldn’t catch his breath, “I really didn’t ask you to write it.”
He had a psychological shadow.
Only then did Ying Zidian not hang up: “Professor Zuo, you say.”
Zuo Li: “……”
So well behaved, this is changing too fast for his little heart to handle.
“It’s just to say sorry for you, your paper didn’t happen to clash with one of your contemporaries and was brushed off.” Zuo Li sighed, “I’m going to send you to another institution, specialising in astrophysics.”
Ying Zidian: “Oh.”
“That’s your reaction?” Zuo Li could only hold back his words of comfort, “Alright, little ancestor, I’ll leave you alone, I’ll make sure it’s done for you.”
Compared to her peers, Ying Ziji was naturally far ahead.
But in the research world, she really needed papers to get a foothold.
Without an honorary title, she would never be able to be called a professor.
But as Zuo Li had discovered, she didn’t care much about that.
“So.” Ying Ziji decided to care for Zuo Li, “I’ll write another paper.”
Zuo Li’s eyes had not yet lit up.
The next second, he heard another sentence.
“If you don’t want to write about physics, write about biology.”
Zuo Li fell from heaven to hell all of a sudden.
He forced a smile and wanted to burst into tears, “Biology is fine, it’s your strong point, I’ll contact the biology department for you.”
“I’ll trouble Professor Zuo.” Ying Ziji finished speaking and ended the call.
Fu Yunshen happened to come out of the kitchen and beckoned, “Come and eat.”
Ying Ziyi walked over and sat down at the table, taking a piece of fish, “I have to go to the Dan League in a few days.”
The Ancient Medicine and Ancient Martial Arts worlds only celebrated the Lunar New Year, and there was nothing special for them on the 31st of December in the solar calendar.
So on the day of January 2, the Dan League was still teaching.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the first place in the cla*s quiz would increase the share of herbs, she definitely wouldn’t have gone.
Ying Ziji ate it and said again indifferently, “My force is currently too low, so I’m going to close up for a while then.”
How could it be that she had to make her Ancient Martial Arts cultivation reach a hundred years and break through to Ancient Martial Arts Patriarch before she could do so?
“Hm?” Hearing these words, Fu Yun Shen’s empty hand tapped her forehead and his lips curved, “Yao Yao, if the others heard this, they would beat you up.”
Among the ancient martial artists of their generation, geniuses such as Yue Fuyi and Xie Nian have only just pa*sed the threshold of fifty years of cultivation.
Further up the hierarchy, the Lin, Xie and Yue families wouldn’t even dare to think about it.
He had been forced to reach his current level of cultivation by death after death.
But not all the ancient martial geniuses from other families dared to constantly hover between life and death.
They are steady and seek the right thing.
Being close to death could certainly allow one to break through the limits, but what if one really died?
“It’s too slow.” Ying Ziji was silent for a moment, “A lot of things can’t be done.”
“There’s no need to rush.” Fu Yunshen was faint, “What’s supposed to come, will definitely come back.”
After the meal was finished, Ying Ziji returned to the sofa to watch TV.
Fu Yunshen put the dishes into the automatic dishwasher: “What else do you want to help?”
Ying Zidian put down the piggyback pillow and pondered for a moment: “There is a favour.”
Fu Yunshen nodded: “What?”
“Don’t want to move, help me take a bath.”
There was a moment of silence in the living room.
Fu Yunshen’s first reaction was that the Ji family had a lot of villas.
The one they were living in now was not a set with either Wen Fengmian or Wen Huilan.
“Yaoyao.” Fu Yun Shen propped up his forehead and smiled helplessly, his voice line lowered and restrained, “Do you really know what you’re talking about?”
“I know, take a shower.” Ying Ziyin glanced at him, “What are you doing reacting so much?”
She was physically damaged from counting that mysterious location and her divine calculation ability was sealed.
In the past two days she was definitely not sitting when she could lie down, indeed she was lazy when she could be lazy about other things.
“Men and women are different.”
“Well, I know, so looking for you, aren’t you the boyfriend?”
The girl’s voice had a smooth tone, but every word ruffled the fire on the tip of her heart.
Finally, Ying spoke thoughtfully, “Hardly, do you expect me to find someone else?”
Fu Yunshen was completely defeated.
He had no way to refute this.
But if he gave her a bath, he would be the one to suffer.
Fu Yunshen went to the bathroom and came out a few minutes later: “The hot water is ready and there are towels, new ones too.
Ying reluctantly agreed: “Okay.”
After a pause, she asked, “Has the research company under the venus group invented an automatic bathing machine?”
Fu Yunshen looked slightly complicated: “That’s for the elderly and the disabled, Yoyo you-”
“Give me a set.” Ying Zidian changed into slippers and walked into the bathroom, her voice indistinct, “Just be able to help me take a shower.”
“……”
Fu Yun raised his deep eyebrows, picked up his phone and called Ian, the chief financial officer, “Transfer a copy of the automatic bathing machine to me.”
“I’m a money manager, I’ve become your handyman buddy!” Ian had a mouthful of old blood in his throat, but he could only respond, “OK, brother, it’s dropping for you.”
Soon, a document was pa*sed to Fu Yunshen’s phone.
The information was presented like this.
Lie in and press the switch, this machine can automatically apply shampoo and shower gel for you, rinse as well as dry.
In addition to bathing, it can also do spa treatments.
It’s a fully automatic service, and you deserve to enjoy the whole experience.
Looking at this introduction, Fu Yun Shen fell into silence.
So, apart from being a mobility tool, he is also an automatic bathing machine.
**
The evening of 31st December.
The old mansions of the Mu and Nie families were all empty, and the group had all gone to watch the live version of the New Year’s Eve party on Total TV.
Meng Qingxue didn’t listen to the Grand Elder and snuck out again.
But after arriving at the Mu family, she pounced on it.
Not to mention Mu Heqing, even Mu Cheng was not there, only housekeeper Mu was finishing his meal with the other servants.
After Mu Heqing had retired, Meng Qingxue had been looking after her illness until she was cured by Ying Zigui.
This matter was known to the Mu family.
Butler Mu managed the affairs of the Mu family and naturally knew Meng Qingxue, so he was surprised and more nervous: “Miss Meng?”
The last time Meng Qingxue suddenly vomited blood, it really scared even Mu Heqing.
Fortunately the Meng family did not come looking for them.
Not seeing the person she met, Meng Qingxue was disappointed, she pursed her lips, “It’s nothing, you guys eat, I’ll leave first.”
Housekeeper Mu did not dare to have any contact with Meng Qingxue and watched her go.
“Miss, go back quickly.” On the road, the escort looked at the sky, “It’s going to snow, you can’t stand the cold.”
A turn of his head revealed that Meng Qingxue was staring at a large screen across the road.
On the big screen was the live broadcast of the General TV New Year’s Eve Gala.
The camera swept to the VIP seats and coincidentally caught Fu Yunshen.
Meng Qingxue recognised the girl sitting next to him, the one she had seen at Mu’s house that day.
“No wonder he didn’t return to the Ancient Martial World.” Meng Qingxue murmured, “It’s because he’s doing so well in the secular world, and that girl is better than me.”
The guard frowned, “Miss, you’re the best.”
“No, I’m not good.” Meng Qingxue smiled reluctantly, “I’m weak and could die at any time, he likes young and pretty ones, as he should, I’m not good enough for him.”
The guard didn’t feel half as good about Fu Yunshen at all and disapproved, “Miss, it’s him who doesn’t deserve you.”
“And Miss, your body is not completely without a solution, the ancient medical world is rumoured to have Old Ancestor Fu Shi’s master back, your father has already said that when Old Ancestor Fu Shi finds her master, then our Old Ancestor will personally go to the Fu family to beg.”
Fushi was so kind, her master couldn’t be any worse.
Meng Qingxue was a young ancient medicine genius, and for the sake of the development of ancient medicine, she wouldn’t see death through.
After all, the old ancestors loved talent.
Meng Qingxue did not speak again and leaned back in her wheelchair.
The guard sighed and went back to the Dream Family.
**
Two days later, the Dan Alliance.
Ying Zigui was in cla*s with a group of Level 4 members.
Because of her extremely high face value and being the youngest one with the best grades in this group of members, she was not wearing a long shirt and long coat either.
She was wearing a long coat, which made many people look up.
Ying stood at the front, with the brim of her baseball cap pressed down to cover half of her face.
She stood in a group of old people with grey hair, a bit out of place.
“What I’m teaching you today is the method of refining the Heart Protecting Pill.” On the stage, an old man stroked his beard, “As the name implies, this is a pill to protect the heart veins, preventing ancient martial artists from having their heart veins burst during cultivation.”
“We have specially invited Miss Qingxue of the Meng Family and Prince Fu Shen of the Fu Family to serve.”
At this, the people below were excited.
Ying Ziji raised his head and looked at Fu Shen.
His features were correct and his heavenly court was full.
Fu Shen was a direct descendant of Fu Shi.
She didn’t remember Fu Shi’s looks too well anymore.
It should still look quite similar.
“Miss Ying is the first, so first Miss Ying will give you a demonstration.” The old man added, “Miss Ying, please step forward, this is the prescription.”
“The steps for refining the Heart Protecting Pill will be given to you by Duke Fu Shen, now -”
Before the old man could finish his words, on the side, Meng Qingxue spoke, “I will speak.”
Fu Shen shrugged his shoulders.
He couldn’t wait for this kind of work to be taken away by someone else and leave him alone.
The old man was quite surprised, “Then Miss Qingxue will speak.”
Miss Meng Qingxue coughed twice and smiled, “Miss Ying, these are the herbs for refining the Heart Protecting Pill, if one can control the fire and wind perfectly, using these herbs, one can make the utilization rate of the pill reach 90%.”
“Of course, it’s your first time, so as long as you get to 50%, you’ll be considered to have pa*sed.”
Before Meng Qingxue came, she hadn’t expected to run into Ying Zigui at the Dan League either.
It was also.
Anyone Fu Yunshen could look at, wouldn’t be that bad.
But she still didn’t want to admit defeat.
Ying Zigui just glanced at the prescription, put it down, and indifferently: “No need, you can start straight away.”
“……”
When those words came out, the whole room was silent.
Meng Qingxue was slightly stunned.
Fu Shen was surprised.
This was before the exact steps had been taught and they could start?
The Heart Protecting Pill could be different from other pills, and there was no way to understand the method of refining by learning it on your own.
The requirements were too demanding.
The first time one came into contact with the Heart Protecting Pill, without the guidance of an ancient doctor.
Even Meng Qingxue and Fu Shen would not be able to do it.
It was too arrogant, wasn’t it?
The old man’s expression was a little colder: “Fine, then you can start.”
Ying Zidian walked straight to the central medicine furnace and sat down cross-legged.
Meng Qingxue held a handkerchief to the corner of her mouth and frowned slightly as she looked over.
She also wanted to know whether Ying Zigui was talking big or whether he could really refine the Heart Protecting Pill in one go.
Chapter 562
The prescription for the Heart Protecting Pill is controlled by the Dream and Fu families as well as the Dan Alliance.
Other pill refiners would not have it.
Among the Level 4 members of the Dan Alliance, only 10% were able to refine the Heart Protecting Pill in previous years, and most of them were just above the 50% pa*s mark.
It was Ying Ziji’s first time to contact the Heart Protecting Pill, and there was no tutor to explain it.
She might not even be able to make a pill prototype, let alone succeed.
Meng Qingxue also knew that Ying Zidian was currently one of the top four students in the Dan League.
But the difficulty of refining the Heart Protection Pill was dozens of times greater than that of the Meditation Pill.
The two could not be considered the same.
By this time, Ying Zidian had already divided the herbs, done the essence treatment and put them into the furnace, then controlled the wind and fire.
Everyone’s eyes were on the girl.
Time was pa*sing by.
And as she watched Ying Zigui’s movements, Meng Qingxue’s expression gradually changed from disappointment to shock.
This was the technique used to refine the Heart Protecting Pill, there was not the slightest mistake.
But …… clearly no one had taught it.
Meng Qingxue’s face reddened slightly.
The old man on the stage was also taken aback and looked solemn: “Look carefully, what Miss Ying is doing is a demonstration, it’s all the first time, if you guys are too bad in a while, you can’t say anything.”
At this point, the members all tensed up.
Only Fu Shen was drowsy and had no sense of decency.
He would come at the invitation of the Dan League purely to avoid cla*s work.
Otherwise he would have been locked up in the pill refining room for a month without being able to come out.
To Fu Shen, now was the best time to feel the fish and be lazy.
That was until he smelt a strong scent of medicine.
Fu Shen’s eyes opened at once and his eyes lit up, “This utilization rate, it’s on 80%.”
Meng Qingxue pursed her lips, “The medicine is not yet finished and there is no test, how do you know that the utilisation rate can go up to 80%?”
The best she had ever achieved was only 92%.
It was still something she had refined many times before she practiced it.
“I have a good nose, do I still need to test it?” Fu Shen hung back, “If I say it’s on 80%, then it’s on 80%.”
Meng Qingxue did not want to argue with Fu Shen, but she had to admit that in terms of ancient medical talent, Fu Shen was more talented than her.
It was just that Fu Shen was too fond of playing and wasn’t as focused.
Fu Shen’s eyes were even brighter: “Watch out, the furnace is open!”
In full view of everyone, Ying Ziji opened the furnace.
The fragrance of the medicine became stronger and stronger.
The old man immediately stepped forward and examined it himself.
After the test, he stood there as if he had been struck by lightning.
The bottom whispered.
“What’s going on? It can’t be that the refinement is broken, can it?”
“It could also be too good.”
“But if she really succeeded in refining it, there would be no objection for me to say that she is the number one pill refining genius of the younger generation, right?”
“No no, if you refine a Heart Protecting Pill at the age of 18, and if the utilization rate is above 80%, there is indeed no one else who can compare.”
Meng Qingxue listened and could barely even smile.
“Old man, report the results quickly.” Fu Shen was impatient with waiting, “What are you doing standing there?”
“Huh? Oh oh oh!” The old man woke up as if from a dream, he wiped his sweat and spoke with difficulty, “Four pills in one furnace, the utilisation rate of each Heart Protection Pill is 80%.”
A stone stirred up a thousand waves.
“Four pills in one furnace!!! How many pills does Miss Qingxue have all the way? I remember it was three.”
“Congratulations, the ancient medicine world finally has another genius, there is hope for a successor.”
Fu Shen clapped his hands, “Awesome, that’s awesome.”
His eyes blinked and he was already thinking about how to abduct Ying Zigui to the Fu family so that he could be freed.
Ying Zidian squeezed his wrist, got his share of the herbs and left the Dan Alliance without staying much longer.
Luckily it was under control, or else he would have almost refined a furnace of ten 100% utilised heart protection pills.
“Miss Ying.”
At this moment, someone came out after her and called out to her.
It was Meng Qingxue.
“Miss Ying, I want to invite you into the Dream Family, your talent is very good, the Dream Family can put all the resources into you, and I sincerely, I want to help him.”
As long as she was nice to Ying Zidian, she could tell herself that she didn’t like Fu Yunshen.
Ying Zidian didn’t even stop: “No entry.”
“Wait, Miss Ying, you ……,” Meng Qingxue moved her lips, “then you …… must take good care of him. ”
“Miss Meng, you are quite strange.” Ying Ziji finally stopped and turned her head, “My boyfriend, naturally, is under my control, in what capacity are you asking me to take good care of him? His mother? His father?”
Meng Qingxue had been brought up with the etiquette of a lady of the house, and the most rude and unreasonable person she had ever met was Xie Nian.
But it was the first time she had been asked such a rhetorical question.
Her face instantly turned white, and a rusty taste was already welling up in her throat.
“He has suffered enough already, please don’t come looking for him.” Ying Zigui nodded slightly, his voice was light, “There is no karma between you, to say that there is, you owe him.”
“Of course he has taken his revenge, but it is a fact that he is injured, I am unable to let him suffer a little, my heart hurts, you should know that I have no good feeling towards you.”
Meng Qingxue’s face became even whiter and lost all its blood: “Yes, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do it before, I really didn’t think ……”
But Ying Ziyang didn’t listen any more, she turned to leave.
Here, Yunshan jumped down from the wall and followed the girl.
He had specifically recorded the words that Ying Zidian had just said to Meng Qingxue and sent them to Fu Yunshen.
What is this called?
This is called a god’s help.
Yunshan knew that Ying Ziyi had always talked little.
Every time she talked too much, it was always about their young master.
“Miss Ying, look at how annoying she is, do you want me to do her.” Yun Shan finished his message with a fierce look on his face, “She doesn’t have long to live anyway.”
Ying Ziji’s eyes narrowed slightly, “She’s a doctor, you want to die?”
Yun Shan scratched his head, still confused, “What’s wrong with a doctor? We’ll do what we say we’ll do, it’s absolutely sharp and clean.”
“I’ve looked through the Dan League’s records.” Ying Zidian spoke up, “The records say that Fu Shen was fourteen years old when he started consulting, he’s twenty-six this year, he’s made a total of seventeen hundred and eighty-six visits and saved nine hundred and ninety-seven lives.”
“Meng Qingxue was fifteen years old, he is twenty-four years old and has made a total of seven hundred and sixty-five visits, saving seven hundred and thirty-four lives.”
Judging from the figures, Meng Qingxue’s medical skills were indeed higher than Fu Shen’s.
Ying Zigui paused, “Do you know how much blessing this will bring to a person? Not to mention killing her, anyone who hurts her will have bad karma.”
“Besides, there’s nothing wrong with her, she just likes people, just don’t see them in the future.”
Another reason for Fu Shi’s long life span is that she has been blessed for saving and healing countless people.
Not surprisingly, Fu Shen’s life expectancy would also be longer than the average ancient doctor.
Meng Qingxue was weak and sickly, if she hadn’t saved so many people, she might not have even lived past twenty years old.
Yun Shan was ashamed, “I’m sorry, Miss Ying, it was me who was too narrow-minded and small-minded.”
“It’s not your fault, it’s because you’re used to the style of the ancient martial world and think that only fighting and killing can solve problems.” Ying Ziji was light, “Of course, you can’t be defensive, you still have to strike when you should.”
At the beginning, there weren’t many ancient martial artists and they all helped each other.
It wasn’t until more and more clans began to be established that strife abounded.
Anyone who didn’t like what they saw on the road could just strike and kill.
The ancient martial arts world has always been very hostile.
Ying Ziji fished a piece of chocolate out of his pocket and ate it, unhurriedly, “Besides, your young master is so outstanding, if no one likes him, it means they have a bad eye, and it won’t be my bad eye anyway.”
Yunshan almost died from the sudden rise of dog food: “……”
After thinking about it, he opened his phone Taobao and ordered a set of Buddhist scriptures, ready to study them properly.
**
The following day.
It was still the New Year’s Day holiday, which coincided with the opening of the amusement park owned by Universal Pictures.
Fu Yunshen booked four tickets.
Both of them were too visible, so they both changed their appearance.
There was a light snowfall in the sky.
Fu Yunshen bent down and put the baked sweet potato he bought in her hand: “Eat it while it’s hot.”
Ying Zidian sat down.
“Yunshan said you went to the Dan League the other day and ran into-” Fu Yunshen swept past the names, “If there’s anything like this again, you call me.”
“Mm, I know.” Ying Ziji took a bite of the sweet potato, “You eat too.”
Fu Yunshen took it, “Where’s my brother and the others?”
“Went to meet someone, Adele went over too, should be back in a while.”
**
Outside Universal Movie Land.
Lin Qingjia was following one of the Taylor family stewards as they walked past: “Norton University students, here?”
“Yeah, the family head was quite surprised too, but it’s understandable.” The steward smiled, “They’re all young people, usually at Norton University it’s always closed training, so it’s hard to get out.”
Lin Qingjia nodded her head.
That was until she saw a familiar figure.
Lin Qingjia took a step, “Let’s go this way.”
She took a slight step back to keep Wen Huilan from seeing her.
She didn’t really want people to know that she had a real brother who was an ordinary person.
