In the outer sect, a seasoned doctor who took on the role of an instructor in Class Three of the Water Medicine might have faced some tough challenges, but at least their life wouldn’t have been at risk. However, for the new instructors, it was often a different story. They were frequently left in a pitiful state, completely overwhelmed by the antics of these unruly students.
Like Dr. Li, being deceived for a month and ultimately tortured was considered a relatively mild fate. There was once a new instructor, a low-level Orange Rank, who was lustful and greedy. He made the mistake of getting too familiar with a female student from Class Three of Water Medicine.
This group of students, ever watchful for weaknesses, found a way to use it against him. They tortured him relentlessly for over half a year until he finally snapped and could no longer practice medicine. Only then did they let him go.
In the end, the instructors of Class Three in Water Medicine had varying lengths of tenure. Some lasted longer, others not as long. But no matter how long they stayed, their fates were always tragic, to the point where it could be said they were utterly destroyed.
Wen Jiaquan valued Xi Yue deeply, and he could never bear to let her be destroyed like that.
Mei Shuhai turned to Xi Yue with a mocking grin. “What’s this? Didn’t you apply to be a Yellow Rank instructor as soon as you arrived? Shouldn’t you be proving yourself with some results to earn everyone’s trust?”
As soon as Mei Shuhai spoke, the other instructors, who were much older than Xi Yue but held lower ranks, felt a surge of discontent. His words only solidified their resolve to push Xi Yue into taking on the challenge of Class Three in Water Medicine.
Even Elder Yu cleared his throat and chimed in, “Dr. Mei makes a valid point. Dr. Xi, what do you think?”
Wen Jiaquan rushed to speak, “No, this won’t do. Instead of letting Xi Yue take on the role, I’d rather…”
Before Wen Jiaquan could finish his sentence, Xi Yue interrupted him, turning to Elder Yu and Mei Shuhai. With a calm expression, she stated, “If you want me to take on Class Three in Water Medicine, I’m fine with that. But I have conditions.”
“What conditions?” Elder Yu asked.
Mei Shuhai sneered, “Do you think you are qualified to negotiate terms?”
Xi Yue didn’t even spare Mei Shuhai a glance. She calmly added, “I want one Soul Essence Fruit a month as compensation, and I’ll need six month’s worth paid in advance.”
Whether or not she intended to climb the duel ranking, she urgently needed the Soul Essence Fruit to refine her soul. On top of that, with her Spirit Refining Domain points in such a negative balance, she knew that in a month, when she tried to ascend, she’d undoubtedly face a soul-strike punishment. The Soul Essence Fruit was the best remedy for alleviating such a punishment.
Everyone took a breath after hearing this, and Mei Shuhai even snickered, “You’re just a brat. Who gave you the audacity to make such demands? If you want to be an instructor at Heavenly Medical Valley, you’d better follow the arrangements. Otherwise, get lost.”
“Oh!” Xi Yue calmly took out the yellow jade pendant, “Then please hire someone else.”
As she said that, she turned around and left without hesitation.
The instructors were all alarmed now, especially those who had just been chosen by Elder Yu to teach Class Three of Water Medicine. Elder Liang rushed to the door and blocked Xi Yue’s way. “Xi Yue, let’s talk this through calmly.”
Elder Yu coughed slightly and looked at everyone, “What do you think about Xi Yue’s demand?”
12 Soul Essence Fruits a year wasn’t a small amount.
Although Heavenly Medical Valley had the Soul Essence Tree, these people belonged to the outer sect, and the number of Soul Essence Fruits allocated here was limited.
To give away twelve all at once… that was half of their current stock!
With the stock running low, it meant fewer Soul Essence Fruits for the other instructors as well, and that made them hesitate even more.
Elder Liang stroked his goatee and grinned, “How about this, Xi Yue? Forget about the Soul Essence Fruit. We’re willing to nominate you as this year’s exceptional instructor, and the inner sect of Heavenly Medical Valley will grant you generous rewards. They’ll even provide you with a Tribulation Pill to help you overcome the bottleneck in the Soul Splitting Stage. What do you think?
