I Have Medicine

Chapter 97



This time around, it was Gongyi Tianheng's turn to obediently soak in the medicinal decoction.

Gu Zuo stood beside the bathtub, reporting the recent state of affairs to him.

In the period of ten or so days, Gu Zuo attempted to refine some medicinal pills again. Because Tianheng couldn't say for sure when he'd advance to Xiantian, Gu Zuo drew support from his own Xiantian realm to refine some medicinal pills that'd suit Xiantian martial artists.

First was the Qi Linking Pill.

Although it was said on the Tianwu Continent that this medicinal pill was the kind that was offered to Meridian Condensing martial artists, because the quality-price ratio wasn't high, Gu Zuo was able to use cheap medicinal herbs to refine top grade Qi Generating Pills for his big brother and his subordinate martial artists.

But now? His big brother swallowed Qi Generating Pills one after another every day to supplement his true qi. Yet, the effects weren't too big. The six sets of bone pearls in that guy's body were like a gluttonous monster, gobbling up the top grade Qi Generating Pills as easily as sucking in water. It was the kind of hunger or thirst that was hard to endure.

Nothing could be done. Gu Zuo had no better option than to refine Qi Linking Pills.

Mid grade or higher Qi Linking Pills could be given to Xiantian realm martial artists. Merely, it could normally be provided to Xiantian stage six at the most. Those higher had to use top grade Qi Linking Pills, or the even stronger Qi Acc.u.mulating Pills.

— These wouldn't be mentioned for the time being.

In short, pa.s.sing Gu Zuo's period of research, he smoothly refined enough top grade Qi Linking Pills. Similarly, with a cauldron producing sixteen pills, he had a gourd where he acc.u.mulated no less than eight hundred pills.

Of course, the medicinal herbs he used up also weren't few…

Fortunately, the refining of the previously mentioned Qi Linking Pill was planned, and enough medicinal herbs were brought over. However, at the present time, half of them were already used up by him. If he came to refine more in the future, he'd certainly need to economize a bit, or purchase large quant.i.ties of the corresponding herbs.

Only, it was a pity that the number of medicinal qi strands formed didn't change.

It was still one strand for every one cauldron.

When refining medicinal cuisines or decoctions, it was also the same one to one ratio.

Besides the Qi Linking Pill, there was also the Revitalization Pill. It was equivalent to the evolved version of the Rejuvenation Pill. If it was top grade, only one pill would be needed to immediately staunch any bleeding and heal a badly beaten Xiantian martial artist.

Another type was the Bone Replenishing Pill. If a martial artist of the Immortal realm or below had their hand or foot cut off, so long as they preserved the limb, this pill could reconnect it without any side-effects. The final one was the Meridian Replenishing Pill. Likewise, for martial artists of the Immortal realm or below who've ruptured their meridians, this pill could mend them.

For these two medicinal pills, the higher the product grade, the better the treatment results.

As for the situation in Gu Zuo's hands, aside from the substandard medicinal pills created during the initial period when he wasn't yet skilled, at all other times, he would produce top grade pills.

— Because the medicinal herbs of these three pills were relatively hard to come by, not many were prepared. Ultimately, the ones Gu Zuo refined only totaled one hundred sixty pills each.

But no matter what, Gu Zuo would refine the medicinal pills Tianheng was going to need with all his heart.

Tianheng listened as his long-winded report ended, and his eyes carried a smiling expression: "Ah Zuo has worked hard."

Gu Zuo met Tianheng's eyes and was blinded by that dazzling gleam in an instant. He forced a chuckle… He seemed a bit suspicious about him taking the credit. After that, Gu Zuo rubbed his own head, and changed the subject in embarra.s.sment: "Also, those three pharmacists have already switched out their cultivation methods. Though, their speed of studying the pill seal doesn't meet expectations… En, the most senior one has just started refining the Qi Generating Pill today."

Gongyi Tianheng indulgently allowed the clumsy change in the subject, and sympathetically followed up by saying: "Since it's like this, first have a look at their pill refining levels. Basically, if they're usable, then in the future, Ah Zuo won't need to personally undertake the refining of the Qi Generating Pill and the Rejuvenation Pill, those types of lower level medicinal pills."

Gu Zuo nodded: "After making money, have Dragon One and Dragon Two purchase some more medicinal herbs. I can refine lots of even better pills, so big brother can have enough resources available."

Tianheng faintly smiled: "Then, I'll be depending on Ah Zuo."

Gu Zuo also couldn't help smiling: "Good. If big brother's gold isn't enough, I can bring out some more to use here."

Tianheng laughed, patting his head. He couldn't resist pinching his cheek again: "Ah Zuo has a heart."

Gu Zuo buried his face in his hands. He felt that the current big brother liked teasing him a little too much…

But actually, the two of them knew that the medicinal pill that would make lots of money was still the Anti-Aging Pill. In addition, because it could only maintain one's appearance for five years, ten years, or twenty years, and not recover one's youth, it wouldn't arouse too much greed. And even if there were some businesses with ill-intentions, one could simply dominate them with the ident.i.ty of a Qingyun outer sect disciple.

Only, it was a pity that this kind of medicinal pill was one that the three pharmacists couldn't refine yet. They could only wait for a while longer.

Speaking of, Gongyi Tianheng's soak time for today was nearly up.

He directly got out of the bathtub. His body's true qi shook, and all the droplets poured off into streams so that none remained. Then, he draped his clothes over his shoulders and summarized with Gu Zuo: "The three pharmacists should be able to support an average store together. Once they've practiced enough, we can register a trademark with the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce, lease a storefront, and sell these medicinal pills. At that time, capital can slowly be circulated."

Gu Zuo nodded his head repeatedly: "I can supervise those three pharmacists!"

In any case, he was now also responsible for supervising them on behalf of his dear big brother… After those three obtained benefits, they should also do their very best.

Just as Gongyi Tianheng finished tidying up his appearance, there was a knock on the door from outside, and someone called his name… Hearing that voice, wasn't it that day's Manager Yang?

Gu Zuo furrowed his brows: "Has that person come to extort us again?"

Tianheng smiled: "Not necessarily."

Gu Zuo didn't like that Manager Yang, but he believed in Tianheng, and followed him as they walked out.

After opening the door, Manager Yang came in and started off by cupping his fist. He warmly said: "Junior sect brother Gongyi, you've got great style. I've heard you've already recruited three pharmacists? Being able to form a team like this, I, your humble senior sect brother, offer you my belated congratulations. I hope junior sect brother Gongyi doesn't take offense."

Tianheng laughed: "Senior sect brother Yang is polite."

The two exchanged pleasantries.

Sure enough, Manager Yang hadn't come early to collect the Scarlet Blood Rice or conduct any extortions. After pulling the relationship between the two a little closer, he asked in a seemingly concerned manner: "It has been some time since junior sect brother Gongyi came to the sect. I wouldn't know, but what plans do you have towards cultivation?"

Gongyi Tianheng realized that he certainly had some goal when he previously wormed his way into being "friends". At this moment, he said the following: "I've heard that in the sect there's a small monthly gathering where a Xiantian powerhouse explains the martial path. Right now, there's ten days left. I plan to wait until that time to go attend the lecture and learn by self-reflection. I'll strive to break through soon, and become Xiantian."

Manager Yang showed an admiring look: "Not bad, not bad. Junior sect brother Gongyi is really diligent!"

He then showed a somewhat mysterious look, "Only, junior sect brother should also know that, as people who practice martial arts, if we solely focus inwardly and disregard the outside world, I'm afraid that making a breakthrough is very hard. As a matter of fact, it's not as good as receiving missions and going with friends to learn through experience. Instead, this can make one's progress even faster."

Tianheng slightly muttered: "What senior sect brother Yang says is true. Before, when I was in my clan, I hadn't experienced much at all. It's just that, I'm a newcomer and I'm not too familiar with places to gain experience, just ones that I've heard about. I'm worried about the dangers among them that are difficult for me to make discreet inquires about…"

Manager Yang chuckled. His hand rummaged around and took out a scroll: "How could I make my junior sect brother go out so rashly? This is a map that your senior sect brother has gone through a lot of trouble to obtain. Although it isn't complete, it can be a.s.sumed that it's a bit more detailed than those sold at the markets. Now I'll be giving to my junior sect brother. I hope you'll forge vigorously ahead along the martial path, unhindered the whole way!"

Tianheng exposed a timely hint of joy: "Then, I won't hold back. Many thanks, senior sect brother!"

While speaking, he also handed over something rolled up. It was a golden banknote. He said: "This is merely a kind regard. I hope senior sect brother Yang doesn't refuse."

In front of Tianheng's face, Manager Yang unfurled it to take a look. He found that the denomination was equivalent to one hundred gold. His gaze become even more cordial. He nimbly stood up, smiling ear to ear: "Junior sect brother Gongyi is a refreshing person. In the future, if there's anything you want to know, it'll be better to come to my house to have a sit down…to have a comprehensive discussion. Haha."

Gongyi Tianheng said: "Naturally, I'll go to receive your hospitalities at that time."

For these two people, all of the talking back and forth was a compet.i.tion of hypocrisy.

Gu Zuo felt a little like gasping in amazement.

However, he still felt that Manager Yang was the hypocrite. That senior sect brother, he was merely an incomparable schemer.

After Manager Yang left completely satisfied, Gu Zuo didn't expose any signs of discomfort this time around — He already learned to turn a blind eye to his big brother spending money like running water.

"Does big brother want to go receive a mission or go out to get some experience?" He was very clear about the matter of this person who didn't have any methods and just incessantly gobbled up medicinal pills.

Tianheng said: "Let's go get experience first to get a feel of the situation. Were we to get a mission, it'll inevitably be a.s.signed. At that time, our hands and feet will be tied, and instead, it'll be inconvenient to handle."

Gu Zuo nodded: "Then, I'll tag along with big brother."

Tianheng originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking it over, he agreed: "At that time, I'll have Ah Zuo provide support. Ah Zuo, just try out Xiantian methods."

Gu Zuo's heart also had this intent: "I'll do my best."

After settling matters, Tianheng handed things over to Dragon One and Dragon Two. He ordered them not to go out for the time being and to thoroughly cultivate in the house. The previous top grade Qi Generating Pills he hadn't used were divided between those two, so that they would properly cultivate and breakthrough sooner. As for the current Gongyi Tianheng, he already decided to use the newly obtained Qi Linking Pills.

Dragon One and Dragon Two obeyed his commands. Gu Zuo followed Tianheng, and quietly left the sect.

The place they went to was a region called the White Crane Mountain Stream. Reportedly, many wild beasts roamed there, and it also had some precious medicinal herbs that could be picked.

This White Crane Mountain Stream was one such place that suited outer disciples for gaining experience.

The White Crane Mountain Stream was neither close nor far. By hastening one's journey, it would take about half a day to reach it. Couldn't one ride a carriage to pa.s.s this journey by?

Tianheng quickly purchased a grade three wild horse for the trip. Bold and unfettered, he straddled the horse first.

Gu Zuo stood in front of the wild horse, looking at Tianheng's outstretched hand. He sank into silence.

This definitely wasn't because Gongyi Tianheng was being conscious about saving money. Rather, it was because…Gu Zuo didn't know how to ride a horse.

Although a Xiantian realm should be able to stably ride a horse, his limbs weren't as coordinated as a martial artist. He'd surely be rigidly uncomfortable.

As a result, after hesitating for a second, Gu Zuo conquered his feelings of shame. He directly grabbed Tianheng's hand, and resigned himself to being pulled up.
