Upon learning that Wan Xiangxiang possessed a considerable number of books related to alchemy, Qi Dong immediately went and brought back a large stack of them, becoming even more obsessed with reading medical and alchemical texts than Qi Zhiheng.
Qi Zhiheng also began his alchemy career, refining a considerable amount of medicinal powders and condensed essences, mostly of high quality, with only a few being top-grade. Qi Zhiheng wished every batch of medicine would be top-grade, but his abilities were limited.
These are considered ungraded medicines in the cultivation world, and are mostly purchased by ordinary people.
Qi Zhiheng kept all the top-quality medicines, as well as some high-grade but defective ones, intending to have his father help him sell them. Since the Qi family also owned a pharmacy, Qi Zhenhe simply decided to list his medicines there.
That day, Qi Zhenhe brought a large number of medicine bottles to the pharmacy under the Qi family. The pharmacy manager hurriedly came up to greet him: "Master, what brings you here?"
Qi Zhenhe said, "I have some medicinal powder and liquid here. Could you put them in the shop for me to sell?"
The shopkeeper hurriedly agreed, but when Qi Zhenhe took out over a thousand medicine bottles, the shopkeeper was stunned. This "some" was far too many! He quickly asked, "Master, what quality are these medicines?"
Qi Zhenhe was taken aback. He really didn't know that. He only remembered Qi Zhiheng telling him with a look of disdain that these medicines weren't very good. He came over as soon as he got the medicines: "The quality might not be very good." After all, in Qi Zhenhe's memory, his son was a bit unreliable. Even if he had worked hard to refine a lot of medicines now, it was impossible for the quality to be particularly good. Moreover, his son had also said that the grade might not be very good.
Even if it's the worst quality, Qi Zhenhe will still help her son sell it!
The shopkeeper wiped his sweat. Their pharmacy also sold low-quality medicine, but not in large quantities. Low-quality medicine was ineffective and highly toxic, so few people bought it. If all these thousands of bottles of medicine were low-grade, it would truly be a problem for the shopkeeper! How could they possibly sell them?
The shopkeeper suggested tactfully, "How about I have Pharmacist Wu appraise these medicines first? If Pharmacist Wu sees so many low-grade medicines, he'll definitely return them, and then I won't be in a difficult position, and the family head won't blame him! That's a good idea!"
Qi Zhenhe felt that it was indeed necessary to first determine the grade of the medicine. How could he be so lacking in confidence in his son? Perhaps one or two percent of it was of mid-grade quality? He immediately agreed to ask Pharmacist Wu to make the determination.
The two arrived at the backyard. Pharmacist Wu was still refining medicine and wouldn't be out for at least another hour. Qi Zhenhe didn't have time to wait, so he said, "I'll go back first. Send someone to inform me when there are results."
After saying that, Qi Zhenhe left in a hurry.
The shopkeeper waited and waited until Pharmacist Wu finally came out of the alchemy room. He stepped forward respectfully and said, "Pharmacist Wu!"
Seeing the shopkeeper waiting at the door, Wu Si guessed that something must be wrong and immediately asked, "What is it?"
The shopkeeper said, "It's like this, the head of the family brought some medicine over and would like you to appraise its quality."
Wu Si nodded and said, "Then let's go take a look."
The shopkeeper stammered, "It's just...it's just..."
Wu Si said impatiently, "Why are you stammering? Just say what you want to say!"
Shopkeeper: "Those that you ordered might not be of good quality, and there are still quite a few of them."
Wu Si didn't care. How much more could it be?
Upon arriving at the back hall, the shopkeeper laid out some of the nearly one thousand bottles of medicine, and more than three hundred bottles filled the table!
