I Have Medicine Chapter 139
After heaving a sigh, Gu Zuo continued finding several missions that he could definitely finish himself. He completely repaired the prescriptions and transferred them over. Soon after, he took out his disciple token and departed from the Consultation Pillar for the time being.
Elder Huo saw him come out and asked: “Student Gu is leaving?”
Gu Zuo nodded, and said apologetically: “I found some that I could answer as well as some that I was unsure of. I’m going back to ask my young master… At that time, I’ll return.”
Elder Huo heard him mention those words “young master”, and couldn’t help his curiosity: “I haven’t asked yet, but which young master has this student joined to be his personal pharmacist?”
Gu Zuo thought about it and felt that it wasn’t something that couldn’t be mentioned: “The young master’s name is Gongyi Tianheng. Originally, he was a newly promoted Outer Sect disciple for this year. Later on…” As he talked and talked, his face couldn’t help revealing a hint of pride, “…Within two months, the young master advanced to Xiantian, becoming an Inner Sect disciple…”
The more he spoke, the more praise his words carried. Although it didn’t get to the point of endless flattery, his affection towards Gongyi Tianheng was already expressed very clearly.
Elder Huo watched his expression, heard his words, and understood.
Waiting till after Gu Zuo finished speaking, he twirled his mustache and smiled: “If it’s like this, his potential is certainly immense. On the contrary, he’s worthy of your love and respect.”
Gu Zuo’s cheeks reddened: “At that time, if it wasn’t for the young master, I would’ve died long ago. I could never turn my back on him. He treats me like a family member, and I treat him even more importantly.”
Elder Huo nodded with praise: “Student Gu speaks well.”
After the two replied back and forth, Elder Huo didn’t keep Gu Zuo for too long. Gu Zuo turned around and exited the Medicine Pavilion. After meeting up with Liu Bao, they hurriedly returned to the valley.
Gongyi Tianheng was in the middle of devouring a great deal of Qi Linking Pills to condense a Heavenly Spirit bone pearl. The moment he heard the pattering sound of footsteps, he knew Gu Zuo had returned, and he lifted his head.
Gu Zuo was panting as he came to Tianheng and sat on the ground across from him: “Big brother, I have some matters I need to ask you about…”
Tianheng loosened his back and smiled: “Then ask. But what trouble did you encounter?”
Gu Zuo hastily said: “It’s that Steadfast Heart Pill prescription.”
Following that, he quickly talked about his experience in the Medicine Pavilion. On the methods to dealing with the Steadfast Heart Pill prescription, he really picked a challenge.

Rather than himself thinking about things without being able to make a firm resolution, it would be better to hear Gongyi Tianheng’s analysis to give him a good push from behind.
When Tianheng finished listening, the corner of his mouth curled up: “Ah Zuo’s heart is already inclined towards exchanging the prescription for contribution points, right?”
Gu Zuo lightly fumbled with his fingers: “…En.”
Tianheng said: “Most of those who can issue complex problems within the Sect are fellow disciples or people with deep relationships with disciples. Even though the Sect’s internal benefits intersect, many disciples organize into factions or separate as enemies. But in the end, such friendships will still exist.”
Gu Zuo nodded his head.
Tianheng smiled and said: “Ah Zuo has many of those kinds of prescriptions. It wouldn’t be a big deal to have one or two fewer things to earn money. On the contrary, if this matter causes you to think about it constantly and develop a heart knot, it would be far from good. As for the other party’s identity and what the price should be… Ah Zuo doesn’t need to be flustered. When the time comes, I’ll accompany you to go figure things out.”
Gu Zuo was immediately enlightened.
Ah, right! He had tons of prescriptions! Whether he didn’t use them or saved them, both would draw covetous stares. Wouldn’t the repeated misgivings simply turn him into a little miser?!
Just like in modern times, if a classmate at school contracted a serious illness and he needed tens of millions, taking out a hundred thousand to save a life would be an act of benevolence, right?
Making money was the goal, but could he really take the Steadfast Heart Pill everywhere to earn a fortune? Moreover, even if he sold the Steadfast Heart Pill prescription to the guy, it wasn’t like he himself couldn’t use the prescription!
Again, this wasn’t the modern era. There was no such thing as buying out a copyright!
His thinking had truly diverged too much.
Gu Zuo rubbed his face: “Big brother, let’s seize the moment and go find that contribution points spendthrift!”
His smiling expression glittered, full of vitality.
Gongyi Tianheng couldn’t help laughing: “…I’ll just follow Ah Zuo’s wishes.”
After the two agreed, they proceeded towards the Inner Sect’s inner Market Street based on the so-called direct negotiation methods in that complex problem.
There were many Inner Sect disciples who had stores here. There were also many restaurants and tea shacks.
The location they agreed upon was a tea shack.
The tea shack was a small two-story building. Upstairs was quiet and refined, without any mishaps. When sitting by an overlooking window, one could see the dark-blue sky outside. Contrary to what one might expect, there wasn’t anything of interest.

And in this tea shack, there was a person who would order a cup of tea at a reserved seat and wait, every day for the past couple years.
This person would wait all day.
Today also was no exception.
As Gu Zuo and Gongyi Tianheng walked to this tea shack, one could raise their head and see a martial artist in front of that window wearing indigo robes. That was a nominal disciple — Reportedly, the nominal disciple who would come and wait every day was always different. However, they would all similarly wear full-length indigo robes.
Without any hesitation, the two directly went up to the second floor and walked in front of that tea table.
Tianheng stood with his arms clasped behind his back and didn’t get any closer. He only watched Gu Zuo.
Gu Zuo understood, and opened his mouth to ask: “Excuse me, are you the Senior Sect Brother who left the complex problem at the Medicine Pavilion?”
Zhang Qingyun was a nominal disciple of the Inner Sect. He was fortunate to have followed a good master, even more so because of his master’s position. Even though he had already advanced to Xiantian, he preferred to continue being a nominal disciple to stay close and serve his master. This was to avoid being crowded out by sycophants.
Because of his master’s difficult situation right now, he was very willing to fight over this mission with several other people. Every couple of days, he would boringly wait here, but he also didn’t have the slightest of complaints — For this reason, he obtained many rewards due to this dedication.
Merely, the longer the time went, the more fretful Zhang Qingyun’s master became. It was obvious that if this continued, his master might lose his patience.
As a result, although he wanted the rewards to never stop, Zhang Qingyun still hoped for someone to quickly settle this difficult problem.
Unfortunately, no one ever could.
At this time, Zhang Qingyun heard someone’s inquiry. Perhaps it was just being asked, but although he was worried that it was going to turn out like every time previously, he still carried a tiny sliver of hope and maintained the appropriate etiquette: “Correct. This Zhang Qingyun has been waiting here on behalf of my master… With the arrival of these two sirs, would you already have some good news?”
Gu Zuo nodded: “Yes.”
Zhang Qingyun quivered, and suddenly lifted his head.
Gu Zuo continued speaking: “I have the Steadfast Heart Pill’s prescription.”
Zhang Qingyun’s fingers started to faintly tremble.
He never expected, he really never expected… His minuscule hope had actually come true?
He sighed deeply. After calming down for a moment, he asked once more: “Is this sir…I mean, is this Senior Sect Brother certain?”
Gu Zuo: “…I’m sure.”
He was much younger than that guy…
Zhang Qingyun just too happy. He almost staggered as he got up and had to control himself to avoid overturning his tea cup. He rambled: “This lowly Zhang can’t act arbitrarily on this matter. I hope these two Senior Sect Brothers can wait for this Zhang to go ask my master to come over…”
He hurriedly called the place’s tea server over and instructed: “If these two Senior Sect Brothers have any needs, you send it over and put it on this Zhang’s bill.”
Over the past year, the people of this tea shack all basically knew about Zhang Qingyun’s matters. They naturally understood the reason for his attitude. At this moment, the worker didn’t dare neglect anything as he hastily went to the tea table to serve them.
Gu Zuo and Gongyi Tianheng sat side by side at the tea table — That is, they sat across from where Zhang Qingyun last sat.
“What tea does Ah Zuo want to drink?”
“Big brother has the final say.”
“Then I’ll just order whatever I like…”
“…Wait a second, I’ll do it. There are quite a few types that big brother can’t drink…”
Ultimately, it was still Gu Zuo who ordered.
The tea arrived not long after. The two each clasped a cup and sipped to their enjoyment as they casually waited for someone.
It was probably because he anxiously ran with information difficultly obtained — Zhang Qingyun left quickly and came back quickly.
Only about fifteen minutes passed before the thudding sounds of footsteps emerged from below. His mood was clearly eager.
Gu Zuo unconsciously raised his head to look over.
The one who came should’ve been that Zhang Qingyun’s master. Who knew what kind of a person… Eh?
What astonished him was that the person who came unexpectedly wasn’t limited to one person.
Okay, there was more than one person. There were three people in total. Among them was one who he actually recognized!
“I hear that someone knows? I want to see who it is, if they really know or if they’re being deceitful here! If it’s fake, I won’t let him off!”
The person still hadn’t drawn near, but his voice had arrived first.
Wasn’t this “acquaintance” the one he once met at the Medicine Pavilion? Admired by the Sect’s pharmacists: Quasi Golden-Level Pharmacist Xu Lingxiu.
Still so ostentatious and overbearing. His mouth didn’t have a single kind word.
Another person advised: “Lingxiu, you shouldn’t often others for no reason!”
Xu Lingxiu snorted coldly, and closed his mouth.
Contrary to what one might expect, the last person showed an anxious face at this moment, as if his heart was set ablaze.
It looked like the person who eagerly wanted to obtain the Steadfast Heart Pill prescription was him…
