《Physician’s Odyssey》Chapter 582 - TCM Medicine Factory
Advertisement
Su Tao’s injuries healed much faster than imagined. When Yue Zun examined the former’s wounds, he was shocked since the wounds have already started to regenerate.
Just what’s going on? Under ordinary circumstances, it would take at least two months for the recovery to be at this stage. A miracle had truly occurred on Su Tao.
Often in science fiction movies or Wuxia novels, the protagonist could heal their wounds in just a few seconds, but it couldn’t be replicated in real life.
Hence, there’s only one possibility. Su Tao must possess some special medication that could allow him to swiftly heal his wounds.
When Yue Zun’s gaze fell on Su Tao, he instantly wore a cunning smile. “Your medicine is pretty good, can I take a look at it?”
If Yue Zun wasn’t the one that performed surgery on him, he would’ve lost his life now. Su Tao knew his injuries well, and thus, he knew how shocking the former’s surgery skills were.
Thus, he would naturally not hide it from Yue Zun. He pointed at his medical box. “The second layer, third from the right, the bottle with the red cap.”
Taking the bottle in his hand, Yue Zun examined it for a long time and smiled. “It smells peculiar. You only have one bottle with you?”
“I still have two!” Su Tao frankly replied.
With a cunning smile, Yue Zun shoved the bottle into his pocket and shamelessly said, “Since that’s the case, then lend it to me for a few days. I’ll return it to you after I’ve looked into it.”
Su Tao never expected that, as a National Healer, Yue Zun would go as far as to steal a bottle of medicine from him, so he bitterly smiled. “Martial Uncle, if you want it, I’ll give you a few bottles for free another day.”
At the same time, it wasn’t surprising since his medicine was so effective that even Yuan Lan was tempted.
After a brief pondering, Su Tao knew that he had to make good use of the good stuff. Hence, he made a mental note in his mind that he had to start arranging this matter when he returned.
“That’s a promise, then!” Excitement flickered in Yue Zun’s eyes before he sighed, “For western medicine, good medicine is extremely important. The reason why our western medicine can’t be comparable with those overseas is because we’re a big step behind in the standard of our medicine. Many imported medicines easily cost over thousands, and it places a huge burden on common folks. The moment they suffer a serious illness, they won’t be able to deal with it. We’re not doing this on purpose, but the medicine and apparatuses are in the hands of several authoritative western medicine corporations.”

Su Tao nodded his head. He interacted with many western medicine doctors, and they had their own troubles. They’re all doing their best to improve the medical standard in the country, but it’s a pity that their starting point was slower than others. Both the core technology and advanced research were in the hands of others, so it’s difficult for them to improve.
After a brief pondering, Su Tao spoke about his plan, “Actually, I always had a thought to set up a TCM medicine factory with main products such as this external injury medicine.”
Upon hearing those words, Yue Zun’s eyes lit up. He knew the business opportunity behind this and nodded his head with a smile. “The effect of this external injury medicine is extremely superb. I know a few medicine factory managers, and if you’re interested, I can recommend them to you.”
Shaking his head, Su Tao smiled. “I’m still preparing the blueprint and investments. At that time, I’m afraid that I will have to trouble Martial Uncle for your connections. After all, it’s not easy to set up a medicine factory in the country. With so many procedures to go through, it’s annoying.”
“No problem with that!” Yue Zun waved his hand and smiled. “Actually, you don’t have to worry about this. With your identity as a National Healer, the Health Ministry will definitely give green lights to you.”
Yue Zun felt that Su Tao was still too young and had no idea of the resources that he held. Su Tao was now a National Healer Specialist, and if he wanted to apply for a medicine factory, it could be easily resolved by finding a few of his friends. Furthermore, Su Tao even treated the leader of the representative team, and that’s a glorious mark on his contribution.
As for Su Tao’s assassination, no one would pursue how he was the cause of the awkward situation right now since he was the victim. On the contrary, everyone would only show sympathy for Su Tao since he took a bullet for the country.
Within the representative team, Su Tao has become a hero, and it was because of pure coincidence.
Naturally, the prerequisite was that Su Tao survives. If he died, then he could only be conferred as a warrior who sacrificed himself for the country.
At this moment, the door was knocked and Mr. Xue’s head popped in. When he saw that Su Tao was awake, he smiled. “I’m not interrupting, right? My superior is here!”
Since Mr. Xue had informed them beforehand, Su Tao and Yue Zun naturally knew that the Vice Premier would be visiting.

Su Tao knew that even if he’s resting at this moment, he would have to wake up immediately.
“Please, enter!” Su Tao wanted to get up, but he was interrupted by Mr. Xue, who rushed in.
“You’re still injured, so don’t move around.” Mr. Xue showed his concern.
The Vice Premier followed behind Mr. Xue, who looked around and examined the condition of the ward before his gaze fell on Su Tao and said with a magnetic voice, “We’re extremely concerned about your assassination this time since it alarmed many leaders. They even entrusted me to send you their greetings.”
Although Su Tao’s mood was pretty good, when he heard the Vice Premier’s words, he instantly felt his blood boiling.
This was how formidable the other party was; aside from their means, their greatest ability would be how they performed ideology work for others.
Then again, the weight of those words was also different based on status.
Su Tao wasn’t putting on an act; he was genuinely touched with his eyes brimming in tears.
“I feel ashamed that I’ve caused so many people to worry about me.”
Letting out a sigh, the Vice Premier held onto Su Tao’s hand and comforted, “You don’t have to feel any pressure. Right now, your foremost objective is to rest well and recuperate. You’re an outstanding physician, and I hope that you can recover soon to bring benefits to the health of more people.”
Upon hearing those words, Su Tao nodded his head. The Vice Premier brought two reporters with him, which they swiftly snapped photos of this touching scene.
Suddenly, Su Tao wondered who it was that said he’s afraid of cameras? Just a moment ago, didn’t he show such a touching scene?
Then again, it was also because the reporters abruptly snapped those photos. If they were to slow down, Su Tao would definitely start to feel nervous again.
“Professor Yue, you must take good care of Su Tao.” The Vice Premier was satisfied with Su Tao’s emotion before he instructed Yue Zun, “Although we’re overseas, I have already informed the related departments to provide the best treatment. The country will be our greatest backing.”
His words weren't only directed at Su Tao, but everyone else. Once again, he displayed his charm of not only touching Su Tao but everyone present and their eyes turned red with their blood boiling.
Nodding his head, Yue Zun replied, “Please be reassured, I will definitely not let you down.”
Thereafter, the Vice Premier briefly chatted with Su Tao until Mr. Xue reminded him that they’re already running out of time and that they had a long itinerary ahead. Hence, the group immediately left.
After the party left, Yue Zun inwardly sighed and smiled. “Although you’ve taken bullets, you’re pretty lucky for the Vice Premier to visit you personally. His words might be a little… official, but I can tell that he has acknowledged you in his heart.”
Su Tao knew that Yue Zun definitely wouldn’t be wrong with his experience, to which he modestly smiled. “The Vice Premier isn’t just showing concern for me, but the entire medical team.”
Hearing those words, Yue Zun sighed. The medical team has always been the unsung heroes, so since when have they received any good treatment?
Yue Zun analysed that it was ultimately because of how Su Tao treated the Vice Premier, which made the latter remember them.
Generally speaking, each National Healer Specialist would have leaders permanently assigned to them. This way, the workload wouldn’t be in a mess, and the National Healer Specialists could also focus on their individuals.
Yue Zun wasn’t initially responsible for taking care of that Vice Premier, but the National Healer responsible for him retired, so it was handed to him. It was just a temporary arrangement for the time being. Although Su Tao and Ling Yu were both National Healers, they still had to go through a buffer period, just like how new doctors had to go through internships.
But judging from the Vice Premier’s attitude today, Yue Zun was pondering if he could hand the former over to Su Tao.
After all, the Vice Premier’s impression of Su Tao was good, and at the same time, it could also lessen his workload.
Although National Healers like them did receive allowances, it paled in comparison to conducting a lecture or taking a tour to a hospital.
National Healers were also human, so money was indispensable for their living.
“When we return, I’ll make an application to have you responsible for the Vice Premier’s health service.” Yue Zun smiled as he explained, “This is a decent task. The Vice Premier can be considered one of the youngest, and he has a high position, especially in the medical industry.”
Su Tao didn’t have much understanding of the Vice Premier, but he knew from Yue Zun’s words that the Vice Premier could be of help to him. So since Yue Zun was willing to hand this work over to him, Su Tao was naturally grateful.
Although he encountered quite a few scumbags, most of those he met were good people, whether it was Di Shiyuan, Tang Nanzheng, Song Sichen, Dou Fanggang, or Yue Zun.

Shaman
*** Let's get this clear now: the MC is a trans woman. This is not a gender-bender. It's set in a fantasy world but the exploration of identity and gender is reality-based. Not a joke, not a kinky turn-on. If this is a problem for you, please just act like an adult and look elsewhere for something to read. *** Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 2 x 5*, 1 x 4.5*, 1 x 3*, no reasons offered. A human shaman and healer returns from several years with the mysterious shyani, accompanied by her shapeshifting puma best friend. A valued friend, from her previous identity as a male student physician, has acquired an old shyani book, and extremists will not tolerate its presence in human hands. But back in human lands, the question arises: which world does she belong in? Generations ago, human explorers found a continent inhabited by an utterly alien culture of shapeshifting weyres and the shyani, humanoids who prefer dusk and dawn. A truce of sorts was eventually reached: humans claimed the rich lowlands, and the shyani and weyres retain the highlands. Along the border, practicality often rules, but on either side, old grudges linger in some hearts. As a student physician, Corin tried to take his own life, unable to bear the countless tiny wounds inflicted over twenty-one years of lying to himself in order to be, or pretend to be, socially acceptable. At the last improbable instant, intervention came, in the form of a spirit fox, who led him away from the existence he’d known in the lowlands and into the highlands. There, a puma weyre rescued him, and a shyani shaman helped him find his true self and offered a rebirth, a life with no more lies, and an important role to fill. Now a shaman and healer in her own right, Vixen who was once Corin learns that the one human who mattered to her in her previous life, then a fellow University student, has come into possession of an old shyani book, and the more fanatical shyani and weyres will stop at nothing to reclaim it and punish Jared. Even though it means going back into the lowlands and facing Jared as a woman, she can’t bear to just look the other way. This should be a short visit, just long enough to see the book into the proper hands and make sure Jared will not be killed for having it, and then she can return to the shyani community that has accepted her as their shaman. And, of course, her feline best friend Dayr insists on coming with her. But Jared is now a Lord, with considerable wealth and power, and his response to her presence isn’t one she expected. After years living with the shyani, she sees everything around her from a new perspective, and that makes it difficult to keep to the plan of making as few waves as possible. As an honoured guest in a highborn house, with only Jared aware that she has ever been anyone else, Vixen finds herself questioning where she belongs: with Dayr and the shyani, who accept her gender without question but have to make allowances for her differences, or with humans, in the culture she grew up in even though her past would mean a major scandal? *** Trigger warning: there are scenes of Vixen's previous life, which include some difficult moments and culminate in an (obviously unsuccessful) attempt at suicide before she finds her true self and a better life. Please be careful! This is the ONLY reason for the "Traumatising Content" tag.*** Complete stand-alone novel, 96K words. Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.

A Portal Fantasy Comedy Poem
Mix an adolescent shepherd boy in love with a girl who wants to meet existentialists, a Viscount in need of an adventure, and a bland psychic. Add in a flippant god.

Season to taste and serve with desired garnishes. Bon apetit! A comic fantasy poetic epic, filled with misfits, slapstick routines, light romance, people shouting out the names of their battle skills before using them, old philosopher dudes running around naked, a very serious lamb, demonic knitting, battery operated magic swords and even more traumatising stuff! I experimented with different styles in the beginning and finally settled on an ABABBCBC rhyme scheme (Give me your 0.5s. Gimme, gimme, gimme. I'm collecting them, seriously)
