Chapter 269 Medicines and Hospitals

Jingjiezi performed a pupil earthquake on the spot, while Du Cihuai on the opposite side seemed to be accustomed to this nickname and just smiled awkwardly: "Daoyou, Daoyou should just call me Du Cihuai..."

"Friend Du, I didn't expect to meet you here by chance!"

Although Song Bozheng changed his words swiftly, his expression was still excited. He hurriedly introduced him to his friend, "Brother Jing, this is Fellow Daoist Du Cihuai, the most famous alchemist in Chang'an City, a rare genius! He has registered more than a hundred patents for elixirs so far! He is very famous! He is one of the largest shareholders of Chang'an Pharmaceutical! Moreover, the several elixirs commonly used by the official Taiyin Sect are almost all researched and improved by Fellow Daoist Du! So much so that the disciples of the Taiyin Sect call him the 'No. 1 Milk Daddy', and this reputation has now spread throughout Chang'an City!"

A series of inexplicable words almost made Jingjiezi's brain pump: "Registration? Medicine patent? Shareholder? Number one nanny?"

"I'll explain this to you later. Anyway, Fellow Daoist Du can be regarded as a role model for our generation!"

Du Cihuai's face flushed a little, and the free and easy temperament he had just used when he started the conversation was gone. Instead, he had a bit more of an idol burden. He didn't know what to do with his hands, and could only say repeatedly: "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, I'm just lucky!"

As a fellow alchemist, Jing Jiezi felt a little jealous when he heard Du Cihuai being praised so highly. Seeing that there was a female cultivator beside him, he deliberately greeted him politely and distantly: "My name is Jing Chen, and my Taoist name is Jiezi. I would like to ask for your name, fellow Taoist?"

The female protagonist was quite happy about Jing Jiezi's active attention. She smiled and returned the greeting, saying, "I'm ashamed. I just condensed the golden elixir and haven't taken a name yet. Daoist friend, just call me Ling Xuan!"

As she spoke, she extended her hand and gestured, "This is my senior brother Du Cihuai. We are both alchemists of Guangcheng Sect. We are now researchers at Chang'an Research Institute, specializing in pharmaceutical manufacturing."

Jingjiezi knows what a research institute is.

When he was in Taiyi Ziwei Sect before, he would occasionally hear a thing or two about Taiyin Sect and Chang'an City - these things have always been widely circulated among outer disciples and lower-level disciples. There were even many absurd fictions about "unappreciated menial disciples applying for a job at the Chang'an City Research Institute and then earning tens of thousands of spirit stones a month and reaching the pinnacle of life" that were circulated privately!

However, words like "pharmaceutical direction" were not very clear to him. Jing Jiezi could only roughly guess that it was related to alchemy, so he said, "Hello, Fellow Daoist Ling and Fellow Daoist Du. What a coincidence! I am also an alchemy practitioner!"

Ling Xuan was pleasantly surprised: "Really? That's such a coincidence!"

Du Cihuai had a sharp eye. While Ling Xuan was talking, he looked up and down at Jingjiezi, coughed lightly, and said, "Ahem, I see that your spirit platform is colorful, unlike that of an ordinary person. I guess your cultivation must be quite high. Should we respect you as Master Jingjiezi?"

Jing Jiezi just said modestly: "My cultivation is average, I just delved deeper into the Dao of Alchemy, and only then did I reach a certain level. How dare I call myself a real person? Daoist friends, you are so ashamed of me!"

Song Bozheng put his hand on Jing Jiezi's shoulder and said, "Daoyou Du is very perceptive! My good friend has already reached the Nascent Soul stage!"

"Wow! It's actually the Nascent Soul!" Ling Xuan's eyes lit up, and she asked eagerly: "I see that you seem to be new here, do you have any plans? As a fellow alchemist, I wonder if you are interested in joining our Chang'an Pharmaceutical?"

"Changan Pharmaceutical?"

Du Cihuai explained with a smile: "To put it simply, the pill recipes we used to have were too complicated, or the efficacy was too good, which could easily cause some impact on ordinary people without cultivation, or waste the medicinal power, and the cost was also high. Our pharmaceutical researchers are trying to find ways to reduce the cost of pills as much as possible, while ensuring their good efficacy for ordinary people, as well as convenient transportation and storage methods!"

Jingjiezi frowned slightly: "Then, wouldn't it mean that all monks can't use it?"

Du Cihuai said: "Hey, monks have their own medicines. Now Taiyin Sect has uniformly classified finished medicines according to the therapeutic effects of the medicines and the people they are facing. For example, the most in-demand medicines are green-label medicines. There is no grade. Anyone can buy this kind of medicine. It is mainly aimed at people who have no cultivation or have just introduced Qi into the body. The effect of the medicine is relatively weak and will not cause harm to their bodies. At the same time, it has the advantages of being cheap, easy to carry and take! The second is yellow-label medicines, which are marked as first-level medicines. This kind of medicine has better effects and is mostly targeted at monks who have established their foundation. This group is relatively the largest. At the same time, it is not a big problem for ordinary people and Qi-training monks to take it. For monks in the Jindan stage, the effect will be a little worse, but it is still okay! When it comes to red-label medicines, they are second-level medicines that must be prescribed by doctors. They are mostly targeted at monks in the Jindan and Yuanying realms. However, there are very few second-level medicines on the market. We Changan Pharmaceutical has only developed five kinds. In addition, there are black-label third-level medicines. Not only must they be prescribed according to the doctor's orders, but everyone who buys the medicine will also be registered, because the danger of third-level medicines is very high!"

Jing Jiezi was a little confused again: "But this level of cultivation and realm is not up to par! It's okay for body cultivators and magic cultivators, but for us, the alchemy cultivators and weapon cultivators, although they are called golden elixir and primordial infant, many of them are only at the level of body tempering when the body cultivators are building their foundation!"

"So there are hospitals!" Ling Xuan interrupted, "I am now serving as an emergency doctor at Chang'an Hospital! That's a doctor! A week...ah, a week is a whole seven days, and you only need to work three days a week! If you are sick, take medicine, etc., you need to go to the hospital to see a doctor, and the doctor will prescribe medicine at your discretion, and you can then buy the corresponding medicine. The doctor's prescription is the doctor's order! The so-called prescribing medicine according to the doctor's order means prescribing medicine according to the prescription! For example, a Dan cultivator in the Jindan period has poor body tempering and weak meridians, so he cannot take red-label medicine. After the doctor understands your situation, he will prescribe ordinary green-label and yellow-label medicine!"

Jingjiezi nodded slightly. He felt that although this system was complete, it made him feel constrained. "I see... It sounds like there are too many rules..."

Ling Xuan had a lot of experience with the change from the lifestyle of the outside sect to the lifestyle in Chang'an City. After all, she was confused at the beginning! She said generously: "For us cultivators, it is indeed a bit harsh. I also felt a bit ridiculous when I first arrived, but it's okay after getting used to it. At least ordinary people are not easily hurt!"

As they were talking, a monk with clothes shining with various lights came over. He had been eavesdropping on their conversation for a long time. He finally took advantage of the opportunity and said to Du Cihuai hesitantly, "Hey, Du, is this Master Du?"

Du Cihuai recognized at a glance that this monk was 100% a player, so he asked: "Hmm? What's the matter?"

The player asked excitedly, "Well, the [Super Speed ​​Water] you released a few days ago is no longer available anywhere. Do you have any stock? Can I buy some? Double... No, no, no, even triple the price is fine!"
