<strong><b>Chapter 18</b></strong><strong><b></b></strong><strong><b>I Want to Take On Apprentices, n for the Hundred Schools of Thought!</b></strong>
Snow Moon City, Scripture Pavilion
The sun set over the western mountains, and dusk painted the horizon.
After finishing his review of all the manuals in the Scripture Pavilion, Jiang Che finally strolled leisurely back to his own residence.
Sikong Changfeng had gifted him a vacant mansion.
Although it couldn’tpare to the City Lord’s Mansion, it was still quite luxurious.
Spanning thousands of square meters, it featured flowing streams, small bridges, rock gardens, and lush flower beds. It even came with over a hundred maidservants.
After dinner, Jiang Che returned to his room, pulled out some paper, ink, and brushes, and began copying the heavenly-grade techniques he had obtained from the Scripture Pavilion earlier in the day.
“Mountain-Crushing Fist,” “Profound Heavenly Art,” “Fierce Wind Scripture,” “Tathagata Divine Palm,”…
It had to be said that old Li Changsheng hadn’t lived his long life in vain—he had gathered quite a few treasures!
This time, Jiang Che had managed to obtain a total of fifteen heavenly-grade manuals!
“System, redeem these for me…”
“Ding! Redemption sessful. Congrattions to the host for gaining 15,000 points…”
Hearing the system’s notification in his mind, Jiang Che’s lips curled into a smile.
Initially, he thought this task would be very challenging, but it turned out to be surprisingly simple.
Adding this haul to the ones he had previously redeemed—Nine Yin Manual, Nine Yang Manual, and Northern Darkness Divine Art—he now had eighteen heavenly-grade manuals!
“System, open my attributes panel.”
…

…
Seeing the task to be a medical saint, Jiang Che frowned unconsciously.
Although the task wasn’t mandatory and had no time limit, Jiang Che wasn’t interested in bing some renowned doctor. After all, hecked the ambition to save the world.
After awakening the system, Jiang Che had only one goal: to livezily and freely in this world.
He didn’t want toplete this task, but the allure of the Phoenix Essence Blood was irresistible!
“System, if I take on a few direct disciples, pass my medical skills on to them, and let them handle the treatments, will that work?”
Stroking his chin, Jiang Che asked curiously.
“Yes, host,” the system replied.
“If your disciples be renowned medical experts of the era, your reputation will naturally rise. As long as your disciples cure over a thousand rare and difficult diseases, it will count as taskpletion.”
“That makes things much easier!”
Upon receiving confirmation, Jiang Che became excited and began to n in his mind.
Among the famed doctors he knew, there was Xin Baicao in Northern Li, Xue Muhua in the Song Dynasty, Hu Qingniu and Ping Yizhi in the Ming Dynasty, and Duanmu Rong in the Qin Dynasty…
However, Xin Baicao seemed to have already passed away, and his disciple Hua Jin had inherited his legacy. Despite his young age, Hua Jin was already nicknamed the ‘Little Medical Immortal’.
If Jiang Che could take these individuals as his disciples and teach them his medical arts, wouldn’t that solve the problem?
<em><i>Moreover, if they encounter particrly incurable diseases, I can have them demand heavenly-grade techniques from their patients!</i></em>
The more Jiang Che thought about it, the more he smiled, confidence brimming on his face.
As for whether these people would agree to be his disciples?
Jiang Che didn’t even consider that possibility!
He was confident that once they witnessed his medical prowess, they would fight to be his disciples.
And if persuasion failed, well… there was always the hard way!
As for collecting techniques, Jiang Che already had a n.
In the current world, which empire had the most martial arts manuals? Without a doubt, it was the Qin Dynasty!
After all, the Qin Dynasty boasted the presence of the Hundred Schools of Thought.
Since they were called the Hundred Schools, surely each one had at least one or two heavenly-grade techniques, right?
If Jiang Che could strip the Hundred Schools bare, wouldn’t his task beplete in one fell swoop?n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
Of course, as someone inherentlyzy, Jiang Che didn’t n to do this himself.
He had already thought of the perfect candidate: Ying Zheng!
Ever since unifying the Six States, Ying Zheng’s pursuit of immortality had grown increasingly desperate.
Once Jiang Che mastered God-Tier alchemy and concocted a few life-extending pills, proposing a coboration with Ying Zheng seemed like a surefire bet.
One pill to extend life by thirty years in exchange for thirty heavenly-grade techniques seemed more than reasonable, right?
However, before heading to Qin, Jiang Che needed to enhance his strength—at least to the Half-Step Heavenly realm, or better yet, the Heavenly realm.
After all, the Qin Dynasty was a ce rife with danger. The Hundred Schools of Thought, the Netherworld Network—every faction had its share of experts.
Even Zhao Gao by Ying Zheng’s side likely possessed Heavenly Unity-level strength, not to mention the Yin-Yang Sect’s leader, Donghuang Taiyi.
Jiang Che guessed that Donghuang Taiyi was at least on par with Li Changsheng, if not stronger.
Even if he hadn’t reached the Immortal realm, he was undoubtedly a peak Heavenly expert.
Moreover, Jiang Che was quite curious about the secret of the Azure Dragon Seven Constetions.
After sorting out his thoughts, Jiang Che beganmunicating with the system.
“System, if I want to gain mastery in God-Tier alchemy through direct infusion, how many points would I need?”
