Looking at countless pairs of disconcertingly eager eyes, Yun Sheng finally understood what it meant to become famous overnight.
For a Martial Artist, the Martial Realm is paramount.
Especially since Shangguan Tuo had broken through the bottleneck of Martial Venerate and had become a Marquis.
For Martial Artists on the continent, starting from Martial Artist status, each breakthrough in Martial Realm takes from one to ten years.
After reaching the realm of Martial Venerate, some might even remain in the Martial Realm for decades, so the sensation caused by Shangguan Tuo’s overnight breakthrough at Wuxuan Wuji Hall can be imagined.
The development of the situation had also far exceeded the expectations of Vice Hall Director Zhan Li.
In the end, it was the stern Bu Jiuxiao who stepped forward and drove all the Martial Artists away.
"You’re called Yanyun, right? The Vice Hall Director has requested your presence in the Medicine Hall for some important discussions," Bu Jiuxiao also treated Yun Sheng with great respect.
Yun Sheng had seemingly anticipated this result and arrived at the Medicine Hall unhurriedly.
After Elder Zhang went mad, no one managed the Medicine Hall, leaving it large and empty now.
"Today, I invited you here because I want you to help manage the Medicine Hall. Additionally, I’d like your assistance in making Blood Cloud Beast Blood to help the Martial Artists in the hall safely undergo Beast Blood Fusion," Zhan Li, today, completely put aside his Vice Hall Director’s pride, earnestly discussing matters with Yun Sheng.
In his eyes, Yun Sheng was no longer just an ordinary Magic Pharmacist.
Before this, Zhan Li would never have believed that a girl around seven or eight years old could properly manage the Martial Arts Hall’s Medicine Hall.
But Yun Sheng’s performance that day had broken the age restriction.
"Vice Hall Master Qi, I am not a person from the Martial Arts Hall, I’m afraid I cannot accept your appointment," Yun Sheng joked. People of Wuxuan Wuji Hall numbered over five hundred. If she were to take care of each individual with needling therapy and Bone Marrow Cleansing, wouldn’t that exhaust her to death?
"Rest assured, I will not shortchange you. In addition to giving you the same remuneration as Elder Zhang, all the medicinal herbs you use in the Medicine Hall will be free of charge." This time, Zhan Li was really going all out.
This offer was undoubtedly attractive.
To the current Yun Sheng, remuneration was not the most attractive aspect, but being able to use the medicinal herbs in the Medicine Hall for free was indeed very tempting.
Wuxuan Wuji Hall, with its history spanning thousands of years, housed not only various Combat Skills but also various precious Medicinal Herbs. Some of these treasure and holy-grade medicinal herbs were something Yun Sheng had never encountered before.
After pondering for a moment, Yun Sheng ultimately could not resist the temptation from Zhan Li, "Besides that, I also need absolute freedom in my schedule, exempt from morning, afternoon, and evening drills. Additionally, I have one more condition; apart from the salary and free use of medicinal herbs, I also need a Sect Token."
Hiss—Zhan Li couldn’t help but gasp.
This little girl has quite the cunning mind, asking for a Sect Token as soon as she opened her mouth. That’s Wuxuan Wuji Hall’s Sect Token; she must think it’s as common as cabbage on the street. With one order, everyone in the Sect has to obey her command once.
"You’re asking for too much," Zhan Li was reluctant.
"Vice Hall Master Qi, it’s just one Sect Token. I promise not to misuse this Sect Token for evil deeds. And in return, you would gain hundreds of trainees advancing further in their Martial Realms—it’s hundreds of people, not just a few," Yun Sheng blinked her eyes, and with her small mouth as if coated with honey, her words tempted even a seasoned strategist like Zhan Li.
If all the Martial Artists could advance further in their Martial Realms, Wuxuan Wuji Hall would undoubtedly hold the trump card in the exploration of Divine Artifacts in a few years’ time.
After pondering for a moment, Zhan Li finally bit the bullet and agreed to Yun Sheng’s conditions.
Successfully obtaining a Sect Token, Yun Sheng was also in a great mood, and she also informed Zhan Li that not all Martial Realm Martial Artists could break through their boundaries with Blood Cloud Beast Blood and acupuncture.
Based on each Martial Artist’s Martial Realm and constitution, she still needs to check each Martial Arts Hall participant’s body before she can determine if she could help them integrate.
Yun Sheng also took a moment to check on Zhan Li’s condition.
Unfortunately, with Zhan Li’s current level of cultivation, it was no longer possible to break through the Martial Realm by ordinary Beast Blood Fusion. With his peak Martial Arts Sect strength, Yun Sheng’s Four Seasons Glaze Needle could not even penetrate his body.
However, Yun Sheng still managed to heal some of Zhan Li’s chronic ailments from his earlier years on the battlefield using acupuncture.
Zhan Li, seeing the exquisite skill of Yun Sheng’s array, grew even more respectful in his heart.
"At my age, I am not seeking a breakthrough in the Martial Realm. However, your acupuncture technique is quite unique, and I would like to ask for your help personally," Zhan Li hesitated for a moment, then suddenly spoke up.
"Vice Hall Director, just give your orders. Taking money to eliminate disaster is one thing, but saving a life has a separate fee," Yun Sheng blinked.
Zhan Li smiled helplessly, realizing that this Little Divine Doctor was indeed not easy to fool.
"Then please, Doctor Yan, follow me to a place," Zhan Li did not hesitate. He immediately had horses and carriages prepared, invited Yun Sheng onto the carriage, and then headed to a certain location in Yujing City.
As the carriage settled down, Yun Sheng looked out and was momentarily stunned.
She did not expect that Zhan Li would bring her to this place.
Wuning Lane, the residence of the Martial Saint General.
Seeing Yun Sheng’s surprised expression, Zhan Li spoke from the side, "This is the Great Zhou Martial Saint General Mansion. Today, I have invited you here to treat an old friend of mine."
"Is that old friend... a member of the Yun Family?" Yun Sheng still harbored some misgivings towards the General Mansion.
Yun Bahe had opposed her parents’ marriage, had driven Yun Canghai out and swore a heavy oath, which Yun Sheng remembered clearly.
The pitiful state of her father today was largely due to the ruthless actions of the General Mansion.
Yun Sheng had once said, as long as her father remained unconscious, she would never step into the General Mansion.
"Being a resident of Yujing, you might have heard of my old friend. In his early years, he was a fierce general on the Great Zhou battlefield just like me. He is the second son of Martial Saint General Yun Bahe, Yun Canglang." For men, the camaraderie formed during military service is the strongest.
Before Zhan Li left the court to enter the Wuxuan Wuji Hall, he and Yun Canglang were like brothers, sharing meals and accommodations, profoundly close to each other.
During their last battle, they both encountered an enemy attack. Yun Canglang broke through the enemy lines, allowing Zhan Li to escape first, but he himself was ambushed and nearly died.
Although Yun Canglang was later saved and brought back, both of his hands were disabled.
Even the reclusive Great National Doctor from the Medicine Emperor Pavilion could do nothing for Yun Canglang’s hands.
Partly because of his disability, Yun Canglang has been dispirited and has seldom appeared in public over the years.
The two prodigies of the Yun Family ended up with one missing and the other disabled, a fact that, whenever mentioned, always evokes sighs from the citizens inside Yujing City.
Yun Sheng also gradually learned about these matters from Doctor Fan after arriving in Yujing.
Yun Sheng didn’t have much affection for this relatively distant uncle, however, he was ultimately her uncle. According to her father, her uncle got along best with him during his childhood. If her father were still awake, he probably wouldn’t wish to see his younger brother remain dejected and waste his life away.
With such thoughts, Yun Sheng temporarily set aside her animosity and followed Zhan Li to the Martial Saint General Mansion.
