An hour later, Zhouzhou finished her al and followed Qin Xu to the police station, holding the Qiankun Mirror and copper coins. Qin Xu said, "Zhouzhou, I heard from your father that you have knowledge in taphysics. There are a few people here whose parents can't find them. Can you help calculate their whereabouts?"
Zhouzhou nodded, "Sure."
After patting her head, Qin Xu called the people over. Most of them were young children who couldn't rember much or were older and ntally disturbed, making it difficult to communicate properly. Zhouzhou looked at them and gradually felt a heavy heart. She didn't care about the three hundred thousand anymore. Even without the money, she would still be willing to help. It was just too pitiful.
Without the use of astrology, Zhouzhou found it a bit challenging, but she wrote down a few coordinates based on their appearances. Qin Xu imdiately brought a national map and used her coordinates to determine their locations, narrowing it down to the most precise range possible. After a whole day's effort, they finally finished.
Qin Xu looked at the addresses on the paper and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Zhouzhou, I truly thank you for this."
"You're welco." Zhouzhou looked up at him and said, "Second Elder Uncle, I wasn't joking at ho earlier. If there's anything I can help with, feel free to co find ."
After thinking for a mont, she added, "No need for rewards."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xu chuckled lightly, looking at her with gratification. He didn't question his brother's thod of education and said, "Alright, let's go. Since you've helped so much, I'll treat you to a al."
"That's great!" Zhouzhou grinned, delighted.
He ordered a table full of dishes for the little girl. After they finished eating, he took her back ho.
The next day, Zhouzhou beca sowhat addicted to doing good deeds. She followed Qin Xu to the hospital again, and Qin Er ca along too.
Mainly because he felt a bit uncomfortable at ho, constantly subjected to the cold gazes of his younger brother and grandparents. He wanted to go out and relax.
Most importantly, he was now extrely curious about his little cousin.
He couldn't help but want to explore what else she was capable of.
At the hospital, Zhouzhou checked the pulses of the others and administered acupuncture for those in serious condition, leaving so dication behind.
After experiencing her acupuncture, everyone believed in her dical skills without any doubt. They gratefully accepted the dication.
The light of her accumulated rits entered her body.
When they arrived at the ward where the girl rescued from the basent was staying, soone walked out whom Zhouzhou recognized.
"Zhouzhou?" Liu Hanqiu looked at her in surprise, then imdiately beca happy. "I heard soone say that a little girl used a few golden needles to save soone and that the dicine was exceptionally effective. I knew it must be you."
Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou smiled. "Grandpa, it's you. What are you doing here?"
"I heard that a miracle had happened, so I ca to take a look." He winked at her.
Zhouzhou patted her bald head and shook her hand, repeatedly gesturing, "No, no, no, Grandpa, you're too kind."
She emphasized, "It's dical skill, it's science, not a miracle."
That's what Eldest Brother said!
Upon hearing this, Liu Hanqiu chuckled, "You're right."
Then, he couldn't help but feel a bit itchy. "Zhouzhou, the Purification Talismans you gave last ti were so effective. I can now refine dicine with 80% of its efficacy."
Don't underestimate this 80%. It was already more powerful than many dications. Truly extraordinary talent, like Zhouzhou, was rare to co by.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't refine dicine with 100% efficacy like her.
He speculated, "Could it be an issue with the tools?"
He only used a regular dicine pot, while Zhouzhou used the Divine Farr's Cauldron.
Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou tilted her head. "No, when I sold dicine to Grandpa before, I used a regular pot. My master only gave the small cauldron when I left the mountain."
If you lack the ability, don't bla it on the tools.
Liu Hanqiu blushed. Although the little girl didn't say it, he automatically completed the sentence in his mind.
He said begrudgingly, "I don't know what's going on. The efficacy of the dicine is always a bit lacking."
"Did Grandpa bring the dicine you refined? Let see."
"Yes, I brought it." Liu Hanqiu hurriedly took out a bottle from the dicine box and handed it over with a respectful expression. "Then, Zhouzhou, please help take a look."
Zhouzhou nodded, took the bottle, slled it, crushed the pill, tasted a bit, and figured out the problem. She said, "Grandpa, you stored the Sichuan lovage for too long, so the efficacy of the Astragalus in the front has dissipated a bit. That's why the efficacy of this dicine isn't that good, and also..."
She explained one by one, and Liu Hanqiu carefully recalled her words, realizing that she was right about everything.
Everything she said was correct.
For a mont, Liu Hanqiu's gaze towards Zhouzhou changed repeatedly, filled with admiration. He cupped his hands towards her and said, "Zhouzhou, you are truly amazing. It would be more than enough for you to be my master."
After saying this, he paused for a mont, a thought surfacing in his mind, and hurriedly asked, "Zhouzhou, how about becoming my master?"
"No." Zhouzhou rejected without hesitation. "Taking disciples is too tiring."
Just by looking at her master, she knew. Her master always complained that he grew more haggard with each passing year, taking care of his junior brothers and sisters.
Although she couldn't tell, taking disciples was indeed a physically demanding task, not to ntion it also cost money!
When they were on the mountain, everything was provided by her master—food, lodging. She even made her master end up penniless!
In her heart, her master had beco the number one occupation she resented the most. She didn't want to beco like that.
Upon hearing this, Liu Hanqiu hurriedly said, "I won't let my master be too burdened. Just give so pointers when you refine dicine, and don't worry, I will obediently follow your instructions. I'll give you gifts on holidays and festivals, fulfill my duties as a disciple. Oh, and if you need dicinal materials for refining, I'll give you my dicine shop as a gift of apprenticeship."
A dicine shop, Zhouzhou's eyebrows twitched slightly, feeling a bit tempted.
She had seen his dicine shop. Although it wasn't large, it had a wide variety of items, and the efficacy of the dicines was considered good compared to those sold in the mortal realm.
Seeing her expression waver, Liu Hanqiu's eyes lit up, and he continued to sweeten the deal, "I also have a hospital at ho, which I can give to my master. The hospital doesn't make much profit each year, only a few billion!"
A few billion!
Zhouzhou's eyes widened suddenly. Wasn't that a lot?
Indeed, it wasn't much because he ran a traditional Chinese dicine hospital, and the profits weren't as high as those of Western dicine hospitals. The main advantage was its good reputation and high turnover.
But for Zhouzhou, it was a huge sum of money.
After coming down the mountain, she realized that everyone seed to earn money very easily, not as difficult as her senior brothers described.
She was a bit confused for a mont, not knowing where the problem lay.
Just as she was thinking, Ancestral Master Statue in her bag couldn't wait any longer. She hurriedly said, "Quick, agree to it! With a dicine shop and a hospital, you can refine dicine as you please without worrying about costs. They're all yours! And with the hospital, you can earn a lot of money every year. Treating patients is also a way to accumulate rits.
Don't miss out on this advantage! Taking disciples is all about being filial and respectful. Your disciple is good; you won't even need to support . I'm already this old, and I have everything. It's so good. Quickly agree!
Is that so?
But her master said taking disciples was a burden.
Why was what they said so different?
Well, she was still young, and the adult world was too complicated. She didn't want to think too much about it. Ignoring Ancestral Master Statue in her bag, she said directly, "Okay, since Grandpa, you're so eager to learn, I'll teach you. However, I won't take the dicine shop and hospital. Just give a discount on the dicinal materials when I need them."
"Why a discount? You're my master; I won't charge you," Liu Hanqiu insisted.
"Fine." Zhouzhou also eased up and thought that she could leave so for him when she refined dicine later. She didn't want to argue about this matter anymore.
Liu Hanqiu was overjoyed and imdiately perford a grand gesture, shouting loudly, "Master!"
On the side, Qin Xu and Qin Er stared blankly at this scene, completely dumbfounded.
Who was apprenticing whom?
Dr. Liu calling Zhouzhou "master"?
While they were still discussing, a nurse suddenly rushed over in a hurry and said, "Dr. Liu! Director Wang is calling for you urgently. Please co and save a life!"
