Chapter 20 The pharmacist appears!
A Xianzhou person of Jing Yuan's age was full of energy. Since graduating from the academy and joining the Cloud Cavalry, Jing Yuan hadn't experienced such a relaxing morning in a long time.
Either they are on the way to being trained like dogs, or they have already been trained to the point of collapsing on the ground with their legs kicked up.
It is true that he is not lazy, but he is not particularly hardworking either... It is mainly due to his talent. When Jing Yuan became the disciple of the most powerful sword master, he was considered "mediocre" in the eyes of those geniuses who were as dazzling as stars.
The "mediocre" Jingyuan found a playmate and is now knocking on her door.
It was a common understanding among the others that Lu Qi liked to stay in bed. Dan Feng had been responsible for shaking her out in the past, but today, Dan Feng had something to do, and Jing Yuan happened to need to go with her, so he took over.
And this was Lu Qi's own request. She was the one who asked him to bring breakfast!
So Jingyuan knocked harder.
"Sister Lu Qi, get up, the sun is shining on your butt!"
The lively and energetic boy pounded on the door like a drum, banging on it rhythmically and occasionally ringing the doorbell. This alternation between the two ensured that the person inside wouldn't wake up.
He was having a great time, and when the door opened, his bent finger bones still hit Lu Qi's forehead by inertia.
The black-haired, black-eyed sister was hit on the head before she could even say anything. She looked up in confusion and met Jing Yuan's gaze.
Jing Yuan watched helplessly as the delicate skin that was hit turned a noticeable red and even swelled up at an unusual speed.
He put his hand down awkwardly.
"Um, Sister Lu Qi, good morning...?"
Lu Qi didn't respond. She stupidly raised her hand and touched the swollen spot. It was right between her eyebrows, like the cinnabar embellishments often given to children in childhood—except that it was a larger, more swollen patch, it looked somewhat harmonious.
"Hiss, I didn't knock you silly, did I... Sister Lu Qi?"
"You're finished, brother Jingyuan." After a few seconds, Lu Qi regained her senses. She didn't cry, but said seriously, "You hit me, I'm going to post this in the group and let Jingliu help me get revenge."
Jing Yuan: “???”
"No! Practicing with Master can be fatal! Let's discuss this properly, Sister Lu Qi. How about this, you hit me back?"
The white-haired boy with a high ponytail stretched out his hand, pushed all his messy bangs back, then bent down to ensure that the petite sister Lu Qi could reach him with just one hand.
"Wait a minute, I'll get my gloves."
"Hey hey hey, wait, that can't be the case?!" Jing Yuan was shocked.
Lu Qi turned around and went back to wash up, put on gloves and doctor's clothes, and then came out.
Jing Yuan was waiting outside anxiously, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Qi's forehead return to its original shape.
"Sister Lu Qi is really generous," Jing Yuan said with a smile, "Here, this is the breakfast I bought for you in Jinren Lane. Eat it while it's hot!"
Lu Qi temporarily forgave Jing Yuan for the delicious food. Jing Yuan bought a lot. The plump white buns were as big as Lu Qi's palm. She ate one and drank a cup of soy milk and she was full.
The rest went into Jingyuan's stomach.
"How are you planning to follow me into the Dan Ding Division?" Lu Qi asked curiously after finishing his meal. "The other party hasn't written to me about the meeting place yet. They'll definitely be observing from the shadows. If you follow me directly, it'll ruin my plan."
"Don't worry, I'll hide well. As for you, Brother Ying Xing said that Brother Dan Feng asked him for some protective gear. Did you bring them all?"
"I've got them all on, showing you!" Lu Qi said proudly. She lifted up the green uniform jacket of Dan Dingsi, revealing the armor underneath. "The armor can protect my heart, and this bracelet on my wrist is actually an instant protection and counterattack device. Brother Ying Xing told me how to use it at Yuzhao. It will automatically activate as soon as it's hit, and it will pierce the opponent to pieces."
"This isn't protective gear, it's a weapon, right?!"
"Just tell me if it's useful or not," Lu Qi said, nodding his head disapprovingly. "Okay, now you should be relieved."
"Well, okay, I'll follow you. But don't do anything rash just because I'm around."
"No way, I won't give you the chance to make a move."
After Jing Yuan hid himself, Lu Qi did not try to find his friends, but went into Dandingsi to punch in for work as usual.
Dan Ding Si was a large place with many people, most of whom didn't know each other. However, Lu Qi had recently made friends with many colleagues and had a lot of fun chatting with them. Jing Yuan followed her all the way and saw that she would greet everyone with a smile.
Not only that, Lu Qi also accurately said the other person's name, with a fresh and bright smile, lively and cute.
When they met such a colleague, the doctors and alchemists who were full of worry all smiled, as if they drew energy from Lu Qi.
This guy is quite popular.
Lu Qi returned all the way to her workplace. She was a new doctor who had just joined the Danding Division. In addition to learning various medical classics of Xianzhou, she also needed to work with her colleagues to research and improve prescriptions.
The Dan Ding Division didn't receive many civilians, as most Xianzhou people were quite familiar with the use of medicine. They simply prescribed the medicine according to the description. She mostly wrote prescriptions and explained the use of the pills before handing them over.
However, in the Dan Ding Division, Lu Qi only displayed his extraordinary talent in receiving short-lived people.
She was skilled in healing short-lived creatures and all types of injuries. Those who embarked on the path of abundance seemed to possess a gift for healing, and after a burst of green light, wounds would heal.
She treats all patients equally, and everyone she cures smiles with gratitude.
He also saw a child with a knee injury who insisted on holding Lu Qi's neck and refusing to let go after being scolded by his family. He took out a piece of almost melted candy from his pocket and placed it in her palm.
Lu Qi had been eating snacks all morning. She had no guard against anything and would casually throw anything given to her by the patients into her mouth.
I have to talk to Brother Danfeng and teach Sister Lu Qi a lesson, not to eat things given by others casually.
Jing Yuan watched for the entire morning. At lunchtime, Lu Qi found her contact, the alchemist sister Qing Xi. Instead of going to the cafeteria, they went directly to the medical market to eat.
After eating, the two turned into a dark alley and took the paper letter from the door of the third house on the left.
Jingyuan recorded the location and would write it into the report later, and then take people to thoroughly investigate the family.
As the person hiding in the dark to protect Lu Qi's sister, Jing Yuan cannot have direct contact with her, but he can send out jade omen.
After Lu Qi finished reading the letter, he sent the text message without hesitation.
[Daily Sword Practice 10,000 Times (Jing Yuan): Does it say where to go? If so, send it to me and I'll go there in advance. Don't worry, I'll be careful not to be discovered.]
After seeing this, Lu Qi sent an address and once again reminded Jing Yuan not to ruin her plan.
***
This meeting required Lu Qi to come alone. Sister Qingxi wanted to follow secretly, but Lu Qi refused.
The enthusiastic and vigilant Danshi sister suddenly realized that the whole thing was not safe, but it was too late. Lu Qi seemed more interested than her.
Indeed, how could people these days not love Xundi and credit points? I heard that Lu Qi's sister was carrying hundreds of thousands of Xundi in debt. If she were an immortal, it would be fine. With hard work, she would eventually be able to pay it off. But Lu Qi is a short-lived person, so she can only take risks and find ways to make money quickly within the law.
The meeting place is near Guanyi Terrace of Dandingsi, close to the seaside. Looking down from the high building, you can also see Qilongtan not far away.
The green waves buried the mysterious roots of Jianmu. If you look closely, you can see dragon-shaped branches faintly visible on the sea surface, winding up around the dead branches of Jianmu.
It is a seal belonging to the Chiming clan.
Lu Qi waited at the meeting place for a while, and the "leader" who wanted to meet her in person showed up.
The leader was wearing a robe that made his appearance unclear, and he was wearing a mask that could be seen everywhere, carefully covering his face.
Lu Qi looked him up and down for a while, but couldn't make out anything.
It's covered tightly...
"Are you the one who presented the gift from the Compassionate Medicine King?" The leader came straight to the point. His voice was difficult to distinguish between male and female, and his throat was protected very tightly. It was obvious that he used a voice changer.
...Being afraid of death to this extent, isn't that even more excessive than her?
"Medicine King Compassion," Lu Qi replied, offering his life's acting skills, "Yes, that person is me."
Her acting was appalling, but fortunately the leader didn't care. Instead, he carefully asked her what the gift was and what its effects were.
Of course Lu Qi didn't dare to tell the truth. This thing is poisonous. If you take it directly, you will die.
But she couldn't say that, and could only exaggerate the tiny amount of liquid extracted from the red fruit. As she talked more and more, the leader gradually let down his guard and nodded frequently, attracted by her empty pie.
"This medicine of mine is held in the hands of the Compassionate Medicine King, and is worshipped by the world," Lu Qi said confidently, "Taking it directly will ensure your immortality, and diluting it will prevent you from suffering from the demonic body."
"How do you, a short-lived creature, know that it has such a use?"
Lu Qi lied without blinking, "Of course it was the Compassionate Medicine King who told me in my dream. After all, I'm the chosen one who has met the Medicine King. Don't you believe what I say?"
The leader naturally believed it. He was so excited by Lu Qi's words that he couldn't wait to take this thing and try it right away.
If the effect of the medicine is as Lu Qi said, then he will be the great contributor to the entire secret of the King of Medicine.
However, the organization still needs to expand and is short of staff, so it needs to be prepared slowly.
So the leader turned around and made a promise to Lu Qi, saying that he would make her the deputy leader.
Lu Qi took the opportunity to open Yuzhao to record the sound and went through the organizational structure of this leader.
"That's it? Is this all our organization has right now?"
"Isn't that enough? I worked so hard to recruit them," the leader said indignantly, "If it weren't for the Lilong ginseng, the number would be half less."
"Lilongshen, this medicine... is ambergris?"
The leader was shocked.
"How do you know?!"
Lu Qi confirmed that the Medicine King's secret organization was just an empty shell that hadn't yet taken off. Mixed in with it were black market traders looking to make money, deviant healers and alchemists, and perhaps even some outsiders.
All in all, it's not a big deal.
Dan Feng was right. She should have agreed to let him take people to catch him by surprise and get rid of him once and for all.
It’s not too late now.
Lu Qi smiled at the leader who covered his face and snapped his fingers handsomely.
"Brother Jingyuan, go ahead and catch him!"
Leader: “?”
As he was shocked, a young Cloud Cavalry soldier with fluffy white hair emerged from the green tiles above his head. His golden pupils were narrowed like a cat's, and the teardrop moles under the corners of his eyes were vivid and charming.
"Stop yelling at me like a dog," the boy complained, supporting himself on the tiles with one hand and rolling down from them.
The black and gold blade shone with lightning. His five fingers clasped Shi Huomeng's bronze-green hilt, and his knuckles, covered with thin calluses, were tensed due to the force.
Blue veins suddenly appeared on the edges of the wrist bones.
The young man brandished the formation knife, and the back of the knife cut through the air, making a buzzing sound, which was intended to be threatening.
"The remnants of the [Medicine King Secret], surrender and I will spare your life."
***
——"That's it. Jing Yuan and I teamed up, and when the leader saw he couldn't defeat us, he surrendered!"
The undercover mission was gloriously completed, and Lu Qi excitedly recounted the thrilling scene.
In fact, it was not thrilling at all, she just wanted to tell a story.
The leader is just an alchemist in the Danding Division. He may not have any outstanding skills, but he is talented in deceiving others.
He resold "Lilong ginseng", mixed it into prescriptions, and hired others to act out a show to pretend that the medicine was effective.
Considering that his final act was to strengthen the old organization of Medicine King Secret, he was imprisoned in the Prison, and his crime was determined by the judge of the Ten Kings Division.
As for other people who broke the law, they were tried together.
Innocent people will be educated and used as examples, while those who make money from it will have to spend some time in prison.
"You did a great job." Dan Feng praised her, a rare occasion. "Leave the rest to me. You can rest now."
"Then I want three days off!"
"Can."
Dan Feng was so easy to talk to today that Lu Qi even regretted asking for only three days off. Damn it, she should have added two more days!
Lu Qi was relieved, but the others still needed to be busy. Even if this organization was just a small prototype, it still needed to be carefully checked to see if there were any omissions.
Fortunately, this incident did not cause any trouble at all, and not many people were involved, so it can be dealt with.
What disappointed Dan Feng was that this matter had nothing to do with Master Long, so there was naturally no reason to deal with those guys.
Lu Qi had a day off, and she immediately went home to play. She had recently become addicted to the fantasy world of Todie, so she took advantage of her break to read a few more works.
She ran home happily and saw an unexpected figure at the door.
Flickering sunlight streamed and gathered at the ends of his golden hair, and a cyan glow fell into his azure pupils. When he saw Lu Qi, his lips curved into an intoxicating curve, and beneath his drooping eyelashes, his eyes were filled with a warm, watery light.
"Huai Ci..." Lu Qi rubbed her eyes, thinking she had mistaken the person. After confirming that the person opposite her had a shadow, she ran over and pounced.
"Wow! You actually came to the Immortal Boat!" She raised her face, a faint blush on her tender cheeks, "I missed you so much!"
The author has something to say:

Pharmacist, the pharmacist is coming! Knock the bowl
I miss you so much, pharmacist!
I'm going to be a V today! The next three chapters will be released in a row, click to find a surprise!
I hope everyone will support us, love you guys, love you guys!
I’m recommending you to pre-collect my new article. If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the next one I’ll write!
Why is my Honmaru so dark and crazy?
Lu Shu, the successor of Shu Weng, the recorder of history, and the new Shinsengumi of the government of time, is also enforcing the law today.
When she first joined the company, Abe Haruaki personally came out to coax her, telling her that as long as she took over the old Honmaru, she would be able to upgrade the newcomer benefits and get the rare swords Crescent Moon Munechika and Seven Star Sword.
She stepped into the main castle with full confidence and saw rusty swords all over the yard.
"Qingming, when you die, I will nail the lid of your coffin myself!"
Lu Shu had no choice but to bind Honmaru, and thus she gained:
A five-flowered sword that can dismantle a castle tower with bare hands,
A radical dagger that regards itself as a bomb,
A katana-wielding attendant who had repeatedly attacked the Shinsengumi's bedroom at night.
"My Lord, His Highness Mikazuki has made tea with Sukuna's finger again!"
"Tell him that it's foot skin that's been pickled for a thousand years—"
While Lu Shu began her epoch-making work, she also tried hard to subdue this group of dark and crazy knife-wielding spirits.
In Heian-kyō, she records the history of the Cursed King's activities and replaces his meal ingredients with cursed spirit sashimi;
In the Warring States Period, she watched as the Ghost King disguised himself as a nobleman and kicked him into the Ubuyashiki ancestral grave pit;
In modern times, she waited for Brain Flower to run around for all the sorcerers in the world, and cooperated with the High Spell Master to seal him into the prison gate.
Her swords had different opinions on this.
"My Lord, do not interfere with history!"
Lu Shu: "Who was that person who just buried the dirt in the pit?"
