With tears still in her eyes, Lin Yao’er looks completely bewildered. Did she hear it wrong, did Divine Doctor Yun just say he wants to borrow the Cien Hall’s sign for a while?
What does that mean?
The gold-painted sign of Cien Hall has long been worthless.
Had it been ten years ago when her father was still in good health, Cien Hall used to be a top-level clinic on Daoye Mountain.
Doctor Lin was particularly skilled in bone setting and treating cuts and demon beast poison injuries. Among the Hunter Soldiers, especially the Martial Artists, his reputation was quite good.
But after Medicine Emperor Pavilion came into the picture, coupled with Doctor Lin’s illness, everything changed.
Though his father’s health was saved by Divine Doctor Yun, he hadn’t practiced medicine for years, and he had just recovered physically, so rehabilitation would still take a while.
"I’ll speak straightforwardly. I want to use the name of Cien Hall to launch finished medicine customization in Daoye Mountain," Yun Sheng came prepared, seeing that Cien Hall was just a sinking ship.
The Medicinal Herbs here, especially some old herbs, are well-prepared; the alchemy equipment here is the best Yun Sheng has seen, second only to Medicine Emperor Pavilion.
Not to mention, there’s Lin Yao’er who is good at managing and socializing.
Customization?
Lin Yao’er is utterly confused. She didn’t understand when Divine Doctor Yun talked about rheumatism earlier, and now it’s custom made finished medicine; what is this all about?
But after witnessing the magical effects of Yun Sheng’s sand therapy, the clever Lin Yao’er didn’t ask any more questions.
Yun Sheng visited Medicine Emperor Pavilion today with preparation.
She wants to make money, which means she needs to practice alchemy, but after making the medicines, they need to be sold. To sell the medicine, she must compete with Medicine Emperor Pavilion.
Medicine Emperor Pavilion’s long-standing reputation and good public opinion mean that even if Yun Sheng could perfectly make medicines, it would be hard to win the acceptance of Daoye Mountain’s Hunter Soldiers.
But Medicine Emperor Pavilion is not flawless either.
After wandering around in it, she discovered a problem. Although Medicine Emperor Pavilion is known as the best pharmacy on the continent and has the best doctors and alchemists, they only sell the most ordinary finished medicine. Some people want special medicines, which Medicine Emperor Pavilion cannot provide.
Lin Yao’er had earlier prayed for Qi San to help her make medicine, but Qi San flatly refused, because Medicine Emperor Pavilion is so big and primarily aims to make medicines that will sell the most, thus neglecting a sizable market for custom personal orders.
Yun Sheng, coming from the modern era, is well aware of how hot the market for customized products is.
Since she can’t compete directly with Medicine Emperor Pavilion, Yun Sheng decided to choose the path of custom alchemy.
When Yun Sheng shared her thoughts with Lin Yao’er, the smart daughter of the clinic’s doctor immediately sparkled with realization.
Sharp as she was, she sensed the business opportunity.
"What you need to do is borrow the name of Cien Hall and announce that Cien Hall is starting to accept alchemy commissions. We can provide the medicinal materials, but the prescriptions and specially cherished materials need to be supplied by the clients. We only do the preparation. For each act of alchemy, based on the rank, a corresponding fee will be charged. Out of these fees, excluding the cost of the raw medicinal herbs, you can take an additional twenty percent," Yun Sheng detailed the whole process to Lin Yao’er.
Listening, Lin Yao’er still felt somewhat unsure; after all, Yun Sheng had only just demonstrated her personal talent in treatment, but hadn’t shown any particular prowess in alchemy.
Both treatment and alchemy are difficult to master, and some older doctors can only master one of them. Compared to them, Yun Sheng might well be the disciple of some otherworldly master, but her age is really too young.
"What? Are you afraid that I will exaggerate and ruin the last reputation of Cien Hall?" Yun Sheng knew exactly what Lin Yao’er was worried about. Previously, Doctor Lin was seriously ill, and Lin Yao’er did not care about the reputation of Cien Hall; but now that Doctor Lin’s health has improved, she had to consider rejuvenating Cien Hall.
Lin Yao’er couldn’t help feeling guilty.
"This is a potion I’ve formulated," Yun Sheng took out a bottle of Meditation Water.
After creating the top-grade Moon God Potion, Yun Sheng had gained even more profound insights into alchemy.
Although Lin Yao’er did not know much about alchemy, having grown up in Cien Hall, she still had a good eye for it.
Such color and fragrance must certainly belong to a high-level potion.
The fact that she could casually produce a bottle of high-level finished medicine dispelled Lin Yao’er’s suspicions about Yun Sheng instantly.
The next day early in the morning, a large notice was hung at the entrance of Cien Hall, it read: "Starting today, Cien Hall begins accepting personal alchemy orders, for more details please consult inside the medical hall. Note: Only accepts formulations of intermediate-level or above finished medicines."
Additionally, Lin Yao’er had also instructed the Medicine Gathering Boys in the staff to post related notices all over the taverns and teahouses on Daoye Mountain.
Soon, Qi San and others from Medicine Emperor Pavilion also got wind of this news.
Upon hearing the news, Qi San was not angry but gleeful: "That little wench Lin Yao’er really has a death wish, taking such big strides in custom potion crafting."
A nearby Medicine Gathering Boy confusedly replied: "Doctor Qi, shouldn’t we send someone to stop Cien Hall’s actions?"
"Stop them? Not only should we not stop them, but we should also provide them with herbs for formulation. Think about it, if just one prescription fails to produce, Cien Hall would be ruined. Then, wouldn’t the Lin family father and daughter come begging at our doorstep? Fetch the prescription requested by the rich man Jia Baiwan for his concubine from the city the day before yesterday and send it to Cien Hall for them to process. I really want to see if Cien Hall can manage it."
Two days passed, and there was still no news from Cien Hall.
Yun Sheng was not anxious, after all, personalized medicine crafting had not truly been popularized in the Wuji Continent and would need some time to adapt.
In the Arena, the Huangteng Hunter Soldier Team easily passed the second and third rounds of assessments without Yun Sheng even moving his Magic Wand.
After the contest ended, Feng Kuo’s face was filled with joy, "We have now achieved three consecutive victories and have directly advanced to the next round. We will be victorious if we can challenge and win against a B-rank Hunter Soldier Team."
While he was saying this, several groaning Hunter Soldiers were carried off from another competition area.
Upon seeing those Hunter Soldiers, Feng Kuo immediately restrained his joy and quickly walked over.
"That’s the captain of the Old B-rank Hunter Soldier Team, Jungle Tiger. Their captain and Boss Feng are good friends; they passed the B-rank Hunter Soldier assessment last year," Mu Nanyan and Wenren Xu both furrowed their brows as well.
The bodies of those several Hunter Soldiers had suffered devastating injuries; Yun Sheng was certain that even with intensive treatment, they would never be able to be Hunter Soldiers again.
Upon inquiring, it turned out their opponent was the Heihu Hunter Soldier Team, which had finished the three rounds of C-rank assessments early and entered the final round of B-rank Hunter Soldier Team challenges.
Such ruthless methods.
Even though ample precautions had been taken by the Arena, Heihu still did as they pleased, showing no mercy to their opponents.
"Cough, cough," the Hunter Soldier Captain lying on the stretcher saw Feng Kuo and struggled to sit up: "Be careful, the Heihu Hunter Soldier Team has been promoted to a B-rank Hunter Soldier Team."
