Chapter 1354 - 1358: Offering Incense to Pray for a Child
"One hundred orthodox remedies can cure thirty ailments, as they should; one hundred folk remedies cure only one illness, and that lucky cure becomes an Immortal Pill formula!"
"Orthodox remedies are grounded in reality, aiming to inform patients of the possible outcomes as accurately as possible."
"Folk remedies exaggerate their effects, and they always claim to cure all diseases, ensuring immediate results."
"In terms of popularity, folk remedies are undoubtedly more appealing to the masses. Added to that, seeking orthodox remedies can often be a difficult path for impoverished folk. Suddenly discovering a folk remedy that effectively addresses a few issues feels like striking gold!"
Zhu Minglang expressed his views on the erosion and imbalance between faiths while strolling along.

"I enjoy reading books in my leisure time, so I suppose that makes me clever. Some things can be understood through observing subtle phenomena..." Zhu Minglang said.
"You’re quite suited for managing human affairs," the Weaver Star Fairy replied.
"Understanding things thoroughly doesn’t mean I’m fit for governance. In truth, I lack patience for people, especially those who are foolish and ignorant while causing harm to others. Such people are far too common, and I generally prefer sending them to heaven rather than trying to enlighten or educate them," Zhu Minglang said.
"Let’s go pay a visit to this supposedly divine Empress," the Weaver Star Fairy suggested.
