I Have Medicine Chapter 93

Gradually, more and more people showed up.

There was a big difference between a pharmacist who had an inheritance and one who didn’t. There was also a big difference between a pharmacist who had powerful support and one didn’t. Those who didn’t have support, but could still generate waves were even fewer.

As a result, of the great majority of pharmacists who were willing to spend money to participate in the Pill Fundamentals Association, their biggest goal was to find those capable pharmacists for pointers. Their second goal was actually to find a target they could attach themselves to.

Hence, many people began lining up in front of the shops of the three mid grade pharmacists. Whether if it was to purchase medicinal pills or some “guidance”, the atmosphere was very passionate. However, when the line grew longer such that they couldn’t progress any time soon, the pharmacists who weren’t in a hurry first went to try accomplishing their second goal.

— After all, while finding a mid grade pharmacist for guidance was very important, if one’s luck was good, they could attach themselves to a good employer and receive guidance that might not necessarily be inferior.

Some pharmacists slowly began to congregate around the sides of many stalls.

They earnestly evaluated the goods that the merchants spread out. They especially paid attention to the signs posted. This checking was particularly meticulous.

From those goods, they could infer the merchant’s foundations. This would let them decide whether to rely on them, whether the degree of this reliance was as a valued customer or as a humble worshiper, and to what degree this cooperation would reach…

At this time, there was a stall that was particularly eye-catching.

It was a composition of a young man, a youngster, and two bodyguards. The young man was a Qingyun outer sect disciple, and the other three were nominal disciples.

It seemed like they had a similar assembly to many other stalls, but these people gave one a feeling that they were…

Very wealthy.

And very carefree.

Was it that they were secure in the knowledge that they had backing?

That they could be this relaxed should mean that they had some assurance.

Naturally, there were some who felt they were putting on an act, wanting to use this to attract the attention of others. However, they had no choice but to admit that, in the end, they really were attracted, too.

This was to the extent that their eyes looked over that stall many times.

And with one glance…

At once, at least four or five pharmacists walked over.

They were all thinking the same thing in their minds:

Ah, very strange. They actually didn’t recognize that medicinal pill!

The hand seal on that bundle of folded paper was very, very…

Gu Zuo discovered someone had come over.

He sighed silently.

He didn’t say anything else. While he felt that it hadn’t been long since he came here, it was clear to see that there were too many pharmacists present.

Yes. Let alone that Qi Family in the beginning, one wouldn’t be able to casually spot over one hundred pharmacists even on the streets of the Cangyun Empire’s capital.

So to say, the Cangyun Empire really was too small… On the Qingyun Continent, perhaps pharmacists were still very precious, but they weren’t as scarce as they were in the Cangyun Empire.

Then, Gu Zuo was a little happy.

The more pharmacists the better.

In this case, his identity would become more and more normalized!

At this moment, those five pharmacists had already reached the stall.

They had all practically reached out their hands at the same time to grab those two bundles of folded paper.

“Stop!”

“This senior has seen it first!”

“Pardon me, but let me look at it first!”

Because the objects were few and the people were many, they unexpectedly argued for a period of time.

Afterwards, the five pharmacists felt like their palms were jolted by something. Immediately, they had no way of snatching those pieces of paper. Their hearts were resentful, and they couldn’t help lifting their heads.

With one look, they discovered that the Qingyun outer sect disciple had just retracted his hand. They promptly understood, and could only give embarrassed smiles.

— Squabbling in front of the owner of that thing was really somewhat unreasonable.

Gongyi Tianheng didn’t reveal any expressions of blame. He opened his mouth and gently said: “It doesn’t need to be like this, everyone. These two bundles have ten sheets of paper altogether. Everything written on them is exactly the same. They’re all a school of medicine refining hand seals to manually control fire. Everyone can take one and read them at your leisure.”

When the pharmacists heard this, they were somewhat disappointed at first.

However, they quickly reacted. Right, being able to give a fire controlling seal already made them want to take a look, but they had yet to check its effectiveness. How could an employer reveal all the hand seals he possessed?

So, they just pushed down their disappointment, and prepared to examine the fire controlling seal’s finer points.

Fortunately, this wasn’t a fabrication. As the other person said, it was a complete set of pill refining hand seals…

With this one look, the pharmacists were unable to tear themselves away.

When they previously watched the pill refining process of the Pill Fire Society’s pharmacists, the strange effects of those people were indeed awesome to behold. Their hand seals were also very marvelous. However, compared to what they were looking at now, it was a little lacking.

If they could learn these hand seals… In the future, their pill production’s success rates would certainly increase greatly!

Immediately after that, the most senior of the five pharmacists opened his mouth and asked: “Excuse me, young master, this medicine refining hand seal…”

Tianheng was still very gentle: “Everyone can see that these seals are called the >. It’s something I acquired unexpectedly, to be used for nurturing pharmacists. I’ve just recently arrived, and while I naturally need a team, I’d rather go without than have one that’s mediocre. They must be absolutely loyal. They must also have potential or experience.”

The pharmacists immediately came to a halt.

In other words, they still needed to choose…

Gu Zuo stared fixedly at these pharmacists. Unexpectedly, he found that they didn’t get angry.

If it was in the Cangyun Empire, the uncertified would’ve received lots of respect. If it was a certified pharmacist, they normally would’ve been very popular. If they had encountered this kind of situation of being picked by someone, they would’ve certainly exploded in anger!

He didn’t understand, so he just asked in his mind.

On one side, Tianheng waited for those pharmacists’ responses, and on the other, he smilingly transmitted: There’s two reasons. One is that there are many pharmacists on the Qingyun Continent. Unless if they can reach mid grade or higher, or if they have a certain reputation, they’ll merely hold a special occupation. The second is, because that set of He Clan’s Pill Refining Seals is much better than what they know about, they’re emotionally affected.

Tianheng continued: Moreover, they want to sell themselves for a good price. It goes without saying that they could also investigate the employer. This way, after meeting a good employer, they would likewise be investigated, so there’s nothing worth getting upset over.

Gu Zuo understood.

So, it was still about checking how expensive the price tag was.

He was thinking about the He Clan’s Pill Refining Seal like this, but in these pharmacists’ eyes, would they have felt that it was rather valuable and worth a try?

Thinking up to here, Gu Zuo again felt helpless.

Why did the current situation seem to have the slight feeling of a job application…

The five pharmacists exchanged glances, but didn’t urgently reply.

They simply continued to size up this stall.

Not long after, the most senior pharmacist reached out his hand and grasped a pink colored pill. The color and luster was gorgeous, and when he placed it near his nose to sniff it, there was a surprising fragrance that penetrated deep into his heart. It was like the maidenly perfume of a beautiful young girl. Like the distinct odors of orchid flowers or musk deer, it carried an intense sexual appeal.

— He’d never encountered a medicinal pill like this before.

This pharmacist was a little curious: “Would this young master know what this medicinal pill is…”

Tianheng replied: “The Anti-Aging Pill.”

The senior pharmacist’s eyes shined: “The Anti-Aging Pill? So it’s the kind of medicinal pill that can make a woman’s complexion permanent?”

Tianheng smiled freely: “Just so.”

The other four pharmacists couldn’t help gathering over, and each of them plucked an Anti-Aging Pill from the jade bowl. They were all similarly examining and sniffing them.

“Frost Colored Flower, Seven Heart Flower, Flowing Moon Flower…”

“Oh, oh! There’s also the Fantasy Drop Flower!”

“This is the Silver Silk Flower…”

“Ai! There’s ten extra smells I can’t distinguish.”

After the pharmacists completed their analysis, they still couldn’t pool together a complete list of medicinal herbs. Let alone figuring out the prescription, they couldn’t guess the way the medicinal herbs were put in based on the medicinal pill’s physical appearance.

However, the more they guessed, the more strongly they felt the utter strangeness of this medicinal pill in their hearts. It made their interest overflow.

To the side, Tianheng again said: “Refining the Anti-Aging Pill requires eighteen unusual flowers, supplemented with another thirty six medicinal herbs. The refining method is very complicated. I’m afraid you’ll never guess it from relying only on smell.”

Once the pharmacists heard this, they had no other option than to reluctantly put those medicinal pills back down.

Afterwards, they again looked at the high grade Qi Generating Pills and Rejuvenation Pills. They keenly discovered that the color and luster of these two types of medicinal pills were very full. Although their level didn’t reach top grade, the extremely tiny flaws in the gloss had a peculiar order to them. It was very rare — It seemed like these high grade pills were ones they’d never seen before.

At this time, the pharmacists really had their hearts moved.

The most senior pharmacist said: “Young master, if we pledge our loyalty and become a part of the young master’s team, will we have the qualifications to study that >?”

Tianheng magnanimously said: “Naturally. Not only that, but I have several prescriptions, which can be given based on the degree of everyone’s dedication. Only, I have several things to say first.

He said: “Based on the quantities of medicinal herbs, everyone must hand over a fixed measurement of medicinal pills each month. If there are extra, you can’t hide them for yourselves. The higher one’s pill refining capabilities, the better their salaries, the more medicinal herbs they will be allocated each month, and the greater the bonus for each pill refined. However, if the failure rate is too high, I’m afraid the salary will be mediocre, and I won’t be able to give more prescriptions.”

The pharmacists heard this and hesitated a little.

They had previously acted as other people’s guests of honor. Every month, their employers would give them a fixed amount of medicinal herbs and would require them to hand over a fixed amount of medicinal pills. This was very normal.

Usually, if they met their quota, they would receive their bonus, and if if they didn’t make their quota, then that month’s bonus would be deducted. However, if they refined more pills than their fixed amount, the bigger their shares. In most cases, it would be returned to the pill refiner. And here, the fact was that they needed to hand them over even if there were extras…

But for other employers, they wouldn’t get to learn even more outstanding prescriptions, or even rarer ones like the unorthodox and strange prescription for the Anti-Aging Pill… After thinking about it, just that prescription alone already attracted them like moths to the flame, even though there wouldn’t be any bonuses. It was merely that they didn’t count on that the extra medicinal pills had to be handed over.

After realizing this, the pharmacists nodded their heads one after another: “This is to be expected.”

Tianheng said with satisfaction: “Since it’s like this, I’ll have to ask everyone to wait a moment. If there aren’t any more pharmacists to come inquiring after a couple hours, I’ll have everyone display their skills… It’s not that everyone has done anything improper, but that I can only support three pharmacists. Wait until the day I’ve accumulated more capital. Then, I’ll extend an invitation to you once more.”

Once the pharmacists heard this, they naturally agreed, and waited patiently on the side.
