The Tiger-Patterned Sect disciple looked at the number of stars on the Pharmacist Badge, which was more than half full, and couldn't help but swallow hard. He stammered and almost bit his tongue as he spoke, "Eastern Medicine King, please wait a moment. I will go and report to the Sect Master right away."
The disciples of the Wenhu Sect stumbled and crawled to their sect leader, their disheveled appearance almost making the sect leader think that someone was attacking the Wenhu Sect.
"You said there's an Eastern Medicine King outside? Are you sure?" The sect leader of the Wenhu Sect asked, puzzled. He didn't seem to have heard of this Eastern Medicine King before.
“I am absolutely certain that I did not misjudge the sect leader. I counted the five stars several times,” the disciple said.
The sect leader of the Wenhu Sect pondered for a moment and said, "Please invite the Medicine King of the East in."
The disciple obeyed and left. Sect Master Wenhu fell into deep thought again. He did not go out to greet Dongfang Mian personally because she was a Medicine King. If she were a King-level physician, Sect Master Wenhu would have already prostrated himself to greet her.
Secondly, the profession of pharmacist is actually quite awkward because the assessment is too easy. Even the sect leader of the Wenhu Sect doubted whether Dongfang Mian, the Medicine King, was truly capable or whether he was using herbs collected by others to participate in the assessment.
Back when the pharmacist profession was very popular, the sect leader of the Wenhu Sect spent a huge sum of money to buy a high-grade spiritual herb to participate in the assessment and successfully became a high-level pharmacist. Although the badge is now just gathering dust in the Wenhu Sect's treasury, at least it's something to be proud of.
When the leader of the Wenhu Sect saw Dongfang Mian, his resolve became even stronger, because she was simply too young.
As we all know, rare and precious herbs either grow in extremely dangerous environments or are protected by powerful monsters. Judging from Dongfang Mian's age, it is impossible for her to have harvested a king-level herb on her own.
Thinking of this, Sect Master Wenhu didn't even bother with formalities. He didn't invite Dongfang Mian to sit down, but just glanced at her and said, "You are the Medicine King Dongfang."
“That’s right,” Dongfang Mian said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"I wonder what brings the Great Medicine King here?" the Tiger-Patterned Sect Master asked lazily.
Dongfang Mian glanced at the disciples behind him, and the Tiger-Patterned Sect Master waved his hand, signaling him to step back, leaving only him and Dongfang Mian.
Dongfang Mian sat down without waiting for his invitation, and began to eat the snacks on the table without any hesitation, and even brewed herself a cup of fragrant tea.
"You wouldn't happen to be here to cause trouble for my Wenhu Sect, would you?" The Wenhu Sect Master was furious.
With a casual wave of his hand, Dongfang Mian spread more than ten king-level spiritual herbs across the stone table in front of him. Dongfang Mian then began to introduce each herb.
"Bone-Setting Grass, a King-grade spiritual herb, can be used to set tendons and bones; Soul-Sealing Incense, a King-grade spiritual herb, can be used to lock the soul and preserve life; Meridian-Opening Grass, a King-grade spiritual herb, can be used to invigorate blood and open meridians; Primordial Spirit Incense, a King-grade spiritual herb, can be used to repair the primordial spirit; Life-Sustaining Flower, a King-grade spiritual herb..."
The Tiger-Patterned Sect Master, who was listening from the side, broke out in a cold sweat. Before Dongfang Mian could finish her introduction, he couldn't help but kneel down with a thud, "Please, Medicine King Dongfang, save my son's life."
"What, do you believe I'm not a liar now?" Dongfang Mian said with a smile.
"I was foolish for a moment, please punish me, Medicine King Dongfang," the Tiger-Patterned Sect Master bowed his head and admitted his mistake. Now, how could he dare to doubt Dongfang Mian's identity? She could produce so many King-level spiritual herbs in one go. Even if she didn't pick them herself, the power behind her was something he couldn't afford to offend.
Dongfang Mian waved her hand casually, "Ignorance is no excuse, but after I cure your youngest son's illness, you have to do something for me."
