Novel Full Chapter 92
This aroused feelings of reverence in many people once more.
Although Gu Zuo didn't make any deliberate inquiries, he still heard the conversations of many people, who were apparently pharmacists as well. One after another, they expressed how exceptional these three mid grade pharmacists were, that this group wasn't weak, and so on.
Immediately after this, the additional ten low grade pharmacists began to refine pills in front of everyone.
The pill refining techniques they used were clearly along the same veins as the techniques of the previous three mid grade pharmacists. When it was time to refine pills, their bodies also had a blazing red mist appear around them. Merely, when it was their turn, they didn't reach as many as nine pills. Moreover, they basically weren't able to refine top grade Qi Generating Pills. On the contrary, they had quite a few mid and low grade pills.
But even though it was like this, these low grade pharmacists similarly received lots of praise.
At this time, Gu Zuo's mind echoed with Tianheng's admiring voice: Ah Zuo, I'm looking at those low grade pharmacists and the youngest is a little more than twenty years old and the oldest is forty to fifty years old. The mid grade pharmacists are at least fifty years old. They're all receiving everyone's praise. Ah Zuo's skill far surpa.s.ses theirs. If someone found out, Ah Zuo will be considered the number one pill refiner.
Gu Zuo pursed his lips, and tried his hardest to keep his face from blushing.
Getting praised again… But "number one pill refiner" and what not was just too exaggerated!
He composed himself: It's that the level of the item books the system gave me is high.
Gongyi Tianheng smiled, but didn't speak.
The higher an item book's level, the more restrictive and difficult it was to study. From the moment his little pharmacist climbed into his hands, Gu Zuo never once failed. Was it because the inheritance was too good? Evidently, it was that his own innate skills were far superior to that of ordinary people. He was extraordinary.
Only… As he looked at his little pharmacist's tender and inexperienced face, he wasn't as talkative anymore.
Afterwards, Tianheng began discussing proper business with Gu Zuo: Although I can't refine medicine, I've noticed a few things. The pill refining hand seals used by these Pill Fire Society pharmacists definitely aren't profound. If I used Ah Zuo's unorthodox pill refining techniques as bait, we could attract several pharmacists over. What does Ah Zuo think?
When it came to talking about this, Gu Zuo was very straightforward: Big brother has the final say!
Tianheng murmured again: It's just that when I watched those Pill Fire Society's pharmacists refining pills, they had different forms. There should be some reasoning for this…
Just then, Cheng Wanyao opened her mouth once again to summarize this time's pill refining display — Just a moment ago, she couldn't cause a disturbance while those pharmacists were in the middle of pill refining, so she didn't explain.
"The Pill Fire Society's pharmacists study the
"Secondly, the pill refining hand seals. The more profound the hand seal, the more ingenious the use of true qi, the stronger the grasp on the medicinal characteristics, and the higher the grade and number of pills produced…"
Tianheng nodded: "So the matter's like this."
Feeling mocked, Gu Zuo said: "Big brother, I feel that when it comes to this field of knowledge, I need to make up for it, too."
[Side mission: Recruit three or more pharmacists.]
[Mission items:

>.]
[Completion method: Unrestricted.]
[Completion time: Within three months.]
[Failure penalty: Deduction of one hundred strands of medicinal qi.]
— The system suddenly revealed its presence.
Gu Zuo: "…Big brother, a mission came."
Tianheng was startled.
After that, Gu Zuo silently communicated the mission contents to Tianheng.
Tianheng sighed softly: This can also be considered a solution to a desperate situation.
Gu Zuo gave another thumb's up to the system in his mind.
This was truly a system that was good at understanding others… Even if failure meant a loss of one hundred strands of medicinal qi.
As for a penalty like this, it could be said that it wasn't something he cared about anymore.
The Pill Fundamentals a.s.sociation still continued, but Gu Zuo's interest in its contents already waned.
Although those pharmacists discussed experiences, techniques, and so on, while at first he paid close attention, he discovered many mistakes in their words after listening for a bit. These mistakes were very detrimental to refining medicine. Of course, during these discussions, low grade pharmacists could ask mid grade pharmacists for pointers. Then, these obstacles would become clear to them. Only, even though low grade pharmacists got some flashes of insight, Gu Zuo saw that the results they obtained still weren't on the correct path.
Gu Zuo really didn't put much stake into this kind of discussion.
Perhaps he'd wait until later. He'd need to listen when high grade pharmacists were discussing medicine refining methods… And from this Pill Fundamentals a.s.sociation, it only made Gu Zuo realize even more how precious and rare the things given to him by the system were.
Two people bided their time. After about three or four hours, this Pill Fundamentals a.s.sociation ended.
However, they still couldn't return to the sect at this time.
Tianheng said: "There are quite a few pharmacists who came to watch the Pill Fundamentals a.s.sociation. If they still haven't been absorbed into the sect or some other powers, we can try recruiting them."
Gu Zuo nodded his head. He felt that this was very reasonable.
Strictly speaking, this Pill Fundamentals a.s.sociation hadn't yet ended completely.
After the venue emptied, those Pill Fire Society pharmacists were led by Cheng Wanyao to the marketplace at the back of the chamber of commerce. Because this marketplace was located within the chamber of commerce, each store's personnel had to pay rent.
Currently, by using the limelight of the Pill Fundamentals a.s.sociation, the chamber intentionally left three stalls unoccupied and were given to the three mid grade pharmacists to use, free of charge. They could sell some of the medicinal pills they refined here. Those ten low grade pharmacists could also follow the mid grade pharmacists and act in supporting roles.
There was clearly a lot of cooperation between the Pill Fire Society and the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce. Not only did the pharmacists sell medicinal pills, they could also answer the questions of some visiting pharmacists — Naturally, these answers required a fee.
This definitely didn't cover the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce's expenses, but so long as they could win over some independent pharmacists who heard rumors, they could be recruited into the chamber or give them a good impression of the chamber. Either way, it was very advantageous to the chamber of commerce.
What the chamber could antic.i.p.ate, others could do the same.
Besides the chamber of commerce, there were a few other powers or individuals with outstanding strength who came to recruit independent pharmacists to keep them in their service.
After Gu Zuo followed Tianheng here, he saw many like them, who wore the outer sect uniform — That's right. If one wanted to smoothly cultivate and save up capital, relying only on the sect's distributed resources wasn't enough. If a martial artist wanted to be successful, a personal pharmacist was indispensable.
Everyone's goals were identical. Gu Zuo and Tianheng's movements definitely wouldn't draw anyone's suspicions.
Gu Zuo set aside the tiny worries in his heart, and curiously asked: "Big brother, where are we going to find someone?"
En, were they going to just strike up a conversation?
Tianheng smiled and said: "Copying the other's behaviors is enough."
Gu Zuo then discovered that matters really weren't that troublesome.
There were many outer sect disciples carrying arrogant looks. At their sides followed nominal disciples or their other subordinates. They quickly exchanged golden banknotes for permit slips and gray cloths through certain chamber managers on the side. After they took the permit slips, they found vacant s.p.a.ces and spread the gray cloths on the ground. Then, they arranged a few things.
Among those things were precious medicinal herbs, bizarre devices, jade bowls loaded with medicinal pills, worn out books, and so on.
After that, one of them raised a sign on the side. Several lines were written on it: "Soliciting two pharmacists. All those interested are welcome."
In addition, there were some notes that said if they weren't solicited, the things in view could be traded.
It wasn't only this outer sect disciple. Quite a few outer sect disciples were all doing the same.
It was just that some notes spoke of willingness to partner with the pharmacist in a mutual transaction, while others had complex pill prescriptions for the pharmacist to comprehend together.
In short, there were all kinds of recruitment methods, each with their own strategies.
Tianheng gave a slight indication.
Dragon One followed his orders, and promptly walked to that manager ahead and handed over a one-thousand golden banknote. When he came back, he carried a permit slip and a gray cloth.
Gu Zuo quietly asked: "Then, what are we going to set up?"
Tianheng smiled, but didn't reply.
Gu Zuo: Does big brother want to act mysterious now…
Dragon One quickly found an empty s.p.a.ce and spread the gray cloth.
The place he chose wasn't crowded together with the other outer sect disciples — Was this also to avoid being inconvenienced by any comparisons drawn? Those set up on both sides were other merchants, and their wares on the ground were even more varied.
After seeing a group of people come over, those merchants also noticed Tianheng's extraordinary bearing. Recognizing their ident.i.ties, their att.i.tudes immediately became polite, not at all like normal times when they'd push aside others without batting an eye.
Tianheng walked behind the stall: "Ah Zuo, take out the chest I gave you yesterday."
Gu Zuo stared blankly, before rummaging through his storage s.p.a.ce.
Because basically everything that was even a little important was placed in this region, and that he wouldn't deliberately snoop through Tianheng's things, he usually just directly stuffed it all into a region customized for Tianheng's use. As a result, he completely forgot if he had such a chest.
After a little bit of searching, Gu Zuo found it.
Then, that chest appeared on the spread-out gray cloth.
The chest wasn't big, only half a meter in size.
Tianheng opened it, and took out the things inside one by one.
There was a jade box packed with several kinds of precious medicinal herbs… There were some wild beast eyeb.a.l.l.s and hearts… There were a few bottles of stuff Gu Zuo refined. Top grade Qi Generating Pills and Rejuvenation Pills, and even Ageless Pills.
Finally, two pieces of folded paper.
The topmost paper had a shocking hand seal — A fire controlling seal one could use by themselves.
A menagerie of things was spread all over the gray cloth.
Tianheng intentionally took out three jade bowls. Each one had one type of medicinal pill placed inside, allowing it to emit a medicinal fragrance that permeated near and far.
Dragon Two also raised a sign. A line with simple handwriting said, "Soliciting three pharmacists. Direct negotiations."
Gu Zuo read it, and ma.s.saged his temples.
He simply took out a couple short couches and arranged them behind the stall.
Good. His dear big brother's advertising was very well done. Now, he just had to wait for the fish to take the bait.
