I Have Medicine

In order to research this, Gu Zuo was considered deliriously busy. He basically studied each and every hand seal. After studying it, he still needed to try refining a cauldron of pills, and then he recorded the performances of each attempt. In this way, after a period of chaos, he finally chose three medicine refinement hand seals.

These three hand seals were all pill refining types. No matter if it was medicinal decoctions or cuisines, they shouldn't have appeared in the Tianwu Continent so quickly — Otherwise, the social upheaval would be too great.

Thus, after Gu Zuo made his comparisons, > was set as a low grade pill seal, > was set as a mid grade pill seal, and

> was set as a high grade pill seal. He had Dragon Two, who was equally adept at copying, transcribe them into three thin books to be left as backups.

The three pill seals would all be guaranteed to suit the refined medicinal pills for martial artists at the Immortal realm and below. As for the even higher leveled ones, the success rates were extremely low.

For the Gongyi Clan, it was also for the best.

— One shouldn't go so far as to rely on easy money-making.

After handling this, Gu Zuo asked about Tianheng's recent whereabouts.

Dragon Two received lots of news from Dragon One over there. The moment Dragon Two heard him ask, he naturally explained everything from beginning to end.

Gu Zuo listened, and was very satisfied.

Once these three medicine refinement hand seals were put forth, all of the Gongyi Clan's pharmacists would learn them. Afterwards, the Gongyi Clan's medicinal pills would certainly be several grades higher than the pills of the other clans. At that time, wouldn't wealth be pouring in from all directions?

It wasn't long before Tianheng returned.

It was in the afternoon, and two days had already pa.s.sed.

When Gu Zuo saw Tianheng, he immediately scampered over with three books in his hands: "Big brother, take a look. They're the ones I selected. What do you think?"

Tianheng took them and unceremoniously flipped through the books. Following which, he grinned: "Ah Zuo's selection naturally puts me at ease. In Tianwu Continent, perhaps there isn't a single person who has mastered the path of medicine refinement more than Ah Zuo."

Gu Zuo was a little embarra.s.sed: "Big brother, don't heap praises on me."

Tianheng laughed, but sure enough, he stopped praising him.

Time was limited. Tianheng originally returned this time to bring back several medicine refinement hand seals to set up. Gu Zuo already did it in advance, so it was only natural that after he hurriedly discussed a few sentences, he turned around and walked away.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to remind Gu Zuo that these pill refining hand seals would've been previously obtained along with that prescription for the >. Just the content alone was too earth-shattering. Under no circ.u.mstances would he dare take them out lightly. It was because these hand seals were indeed useful, and the sect was an even higher existence, that he was prepared to take out what would later be the Gongyi Clan's treasured skills.

Gu Zuo bore this in mind seriously, and nodded his head: "Big brother, rest a.s.sured."

Only then did Gongyi Tianheng truly depart.

The place he was going to was an office of the Gongyi Clan, used for discussing business.

The Clan Head and elders had been frequently entering and exiting that place within recent times. As for the acting Clan Head Gongyi Yan, he was practically right on their heels.

In a still and quiet room, Gongyi Yan's fingers faintly trembled as they held three books.

He first carefully scanned what was written once through. Then, he carefully looked at the four jade bowls packed with two medicinal pills each. He was in a very excitable mood.

Gongyi Zhuoyue, this old fellow, also had never expected this. At this moment, his voice quivered: "Tianheng, my grandson… Is, is this really true?"

Tianheng's expression was composed, and was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence: "Reporting to grandfather, this matter isn't the least bit fake."

There were five things he mentioned:

First, these three books were ingenious pill refining methods one could practice. One could refine pills that had even stronger medicinal effects than that of ordinary pills. The medicinal pills in these four jade bowls were based on these ingenious methods.

Second, because the qualities of the medicinal pills produced were different, they were divided into four grades. Among them, top grade was the rarest, but the effects were on the brink of perfection.

Third, during the Hundred Countries Tournament, many empires had taken out miraculous medicinal pills. In actuality, they were just strengthened versions of the Rejuvenation Pill. The fact was that he'd provided them. In addition, in the Cangyun Empire, these medicinal pills were part of a business transaction with the Ghost Division. This established secret channels within many other empires.

Fourth, the high grade Qi Generating Pills sold by the Azure Dragon Trading Company were due to the ingenious pill refining methods.

Fifth, his body was capable of improving largely due to the successful creation of the Five Essence Pill through the pill refining techniques…

Casually putting one of these matters forward could leave a person speechless. Let alone that this moment really wasn't just one, but rather no less than five matters. Furthermore, they were even linked together?

At this very moment, the things before the two Gongyi Clan seniors made it hard to remain unmoved.

Gongyi Yan suddenly stood up. With his hands clasped behind his back, he paced back and forth in the room's interior. It seemed to calm his mood. After a long time, he abruptly turned his head: "Tianheng, who else knows about this matter besides you?"

Tianheng was still as peacefully calm as always: "I won't keep this from father. Besides this child, there's only Ah Zuo, Dragon One, and Dragon Two who know. Among them, Dragon One needed to handle this child's business affairs, so he had to be informed. Dragon Two was arranged by this child to protect Ah Zuo, so he also had to know. As for Ah Zuo… These method books came from his fateful encounter, which he handed over to this child. Moreover, the medicinal pills that are flowing out these days have all come from Ah Zuo's own hands."

Mentioning this, he sighed, "Ah Zuo has great talent along the path of medicine refinement. Unfortunately, back then, the Qi Family wasn't able to tell good from bad and the son was allowed to indulge in evil, which shouldn't be rewarded. Gu Zuo arrived after this, and not only did he save this child, but he also brought about tremendous amounts of luck for our Gongyi Clan."

After these words were spoken, Gongyi Zhuoyue and Gongyi Yan were shaken once again.

They never expected that the one who was always following their own child, the tiny youngster whom they originally thought had merely offered the prescription to curry favor, actually had such great skills!

Gongyi Yan's excited complexion reddened. After taking several deep breaths, he opened his mouth little by little: "Good, good, good! A pharmacist with such capabilities must certainly be treated well by my son. You can't be the slightest bit negligent!"

Tianheng smiled: "Ah Zuo is pure and innocent like the heart of a newborn. He's never once let this child down, and this child won't be unworthy of his sincerity."

When he said this, he paused, "Only, if Ah Zuo remains in the clan, I'm afraid that his talents will be preoccupied for a long time. Therefore, this child intends on bringing him, Dragon One, and Dragon Two to the sect. Dragon One and Dragon Two are faithful and devoted. It's inevitable that they'll be this child's left and right hands in the future. And after Ah Zuo departs with this child, I can look after him. He can also continue refining medicine for this child. We'll depend on one another, and we'll be able to properly survive through all kinds of ups and downs in the future."

Gongyi Yan didn't hesitate. He simply responded: "Then I'll listen to my son's words!"

His eldest son was still a hidden dragon. When he was done hiding, he'd one day soar through the highest heavens. As if a pharmacist like Gu Zuo could be continuously retained by their Gongyi Clan. They might as well let Gu Zuo go, and let the two forge their own paths in the world together. Actually, it should be said that they could obtain even greater success. The two could show filial piety by nourishing the Gongyi Clan.

Gongyi Yan had a clear understanding. Nowadays, this "father" was already unable to help his eldest son. In the future, everything would have to depend on him. So, he needed to properly a.s.sist his own child and take care of the clan to let Tianheng move unhindered as much as he liked without any worries for the family!

Gongyi Zhuoyue, as the first Clan Head, never made his opinions known. It wasn't until after Gongyi Yan and Tianheng had somewhat reached a resolution did he laugh out in a clear voice and applaud: "It should be just like this — Just like this!"

A glint of warmth streaked across Tianheng's eyes.

Afterwards, grandfather, father, and son made arrangements for the matters to come, discussing things one step at a time.

Of course, the three books would be preserved as treasures. Among them, >, which was set as low grade, could be taken out first to allow the Gongyi Clan to secretly cultivate without outside interference. It would be distributed among the Gongyi Clan's blood-related pharmacists to study. Once this batch of people figured it out, they could instruct the second batch, which would be comprised of the loyal and devoted pharmacists whose ancestors were subordinates or servants of the Gongyi Clan for many generations.

After they were nurtured, they also couldn't let this kind of pill refining hand seal leak out at this point in time. Rather, they would first use the refined medicinal pills to nurture their own clan members. This would substantially raise the clan's foundations, as well as improve the clan's overall strength and the younger generation's roots.

This would take a period of time. Because it wasn't known specifically when Tianheng would return, the following matters would be outlined superficially.

For example, once the clan's strength rose, the low grade pill refining hand seal would be copied into no less than ten books. They would be distributed to the Azure Dragon Auction to be sold at high prices.

This way, when lots of pharmacists started mastering this low grade hand seal, the Gongyi Clan's people could study the mid grade and high grade pill refining hand seals based on the differences in their degree of mastery and loyalty.

This way, not only could it preserve the Gongyi Clan's superiority, it could also raise the entire Cangyun Empire's power, making the Cangyun Empire the undisputed giant of the Tianwu Continent!

Beyond safeguarding the clan's benefits, the Gongyi Clan's people also hoped that the overall strength of the empire would be improved…

But when it came to this, Tianheng suddenly opened his mouth: "Father, grandfather, before auctioning the low grade pill seals, give one to the royal family."

Gongyi Zhuoyue and Gongyi Yan both blanked, but they recovered very quickly.

Tianheng said: "Until this child leaves, wait for several months to even a year before the clan offers the pill seal."

After Gongyi Yan pondered, he stated: "This truly is a child of the Gongyi Clan. We'll be sure to discuss what my son and Gu Zuo experienced while away from home."

Tianheng faintly smiled: "This child has made things difficult for father."

Gongyi Yan laughed: "This is the way it should be."

A father and son, these two people, didn't need to be too formal with each other.

Tianheng immediately handed over everything pertaining to the Ghost Division's methods, related channels, and a few properties to Gongyi Yan.

The road ahead couldn't be guessed. Since he couldn't be filial beside his parents, he naturally couldn't be stingy with some of the good things in his possession that could prove useful. Even the Tianlong Guard was given to his father to help him manage properties.

Once everything was accounted for, Tianheng quietly said: "If I have the chance, I'll have Yang'er, Mingxia, and Teng'er join the sect in the future to practice martial arts. However, if I still can't after many years, and you don't receive any letters, I'm asking father to split these private properties between my three siblings."

After saying this, he smiled teasingly, "If there'll be more siblings in the future, because I haven't seen them yet, just leave it to Yang'er to take care of."

Naturally, Gongyi Yan had a rare case of embarra.s.sment.

Gongyi Tianheng had yet to tarry, and he still had plenty of matters to arrange.

Once everything was properly settled, the time left was almost used up.
