Chapter 295: Chapter 157: The New Mage
After celebrating, Yun Sheng and the others returned to the dical hall.
As they approached the dical hall, they saw soone lingering at the entrance of Little Ci’en Hall.
On closer inspection, they saw an ordinary-looking, skinny teenager standing there.
Upon seeing Yun Sheng and the others, the boy’s eyes flickered, hesitating to speak. After a long while, he finally asked in a low voice.
"Are you from Little Ci’en Hall? Are you recruiting dicine n?"
Looking to beco a dicine man?
Lin Yao’er quickly went to greet him. Previously, they had difficulty recruiting staff, but unexpectedly, right after today’s free clinic, soone ca knocking on their door.
Although the boy looked frail, he spoke clearly and appeared reliable. Yun Sheng just happened to be in need of a dicine man.
"What is your na? Do you qualify to be a dicine man?" Yun Sheng also scrutinized the youth, who seed sowhat shy and turned his face away slightly under her gaze.
"My na is Ji Mo. I’ve obtained the qualification of dicine man back in my hotown. Does your dical hall provide food and accommodation?" Ji Mo looked travel-worn, with just a flat luggage bag in hand, seemingly having just arrived from out of town.
Yun Sheng let Ji Mo into the dical hall and gave him so food and drink.
After having so food, Ji Mo began to share his own story.
It turned out that his hotown suffered from a pestilence making it hard to survive, so he followed his father to seek out relatives in Yujing.
Unfortunately, Ji Mo’s father was killed by a demon beast en route.
Ji Mo, the sole survivor, made it to Yujing, only to find after much searching that his relatives had moved away three years ago.
With nowhere else to turn, he happened upon the notice for recruiting dicine n posted by Zhang Xiao Ci’en Hall on the city walls and found his way here.
Ji Mo’s experiences inevitably reminded Yun Sheng of herself from over two years ago.
The stories of the two indeed bore striking similarities.
Especially since Ji Mo ntioned that he had previously been a dicine Gathering Boy at the Magic Temple in his village, but what was more coincidental was that he was not only a dicine man but also a Magic Apprentice.
"If you’re a Magic Apprentice, why not simply find a position at the Magic Temple?" Yun Sheng was still sowhat skeptical of Ji Mo’s background, and besides, with Ji Mo’s experiences, why would he need to seek employnt at the little-known Little Ci’en Hall.
"Not to offend you, but... I also want to try if I can integrate magic with ancient dical skills," Ji Mo’s words caught the attention of Doctor Fan.
"My boy, did you say you also want to try walking the path that combines magic with ancient dical skills?" Since eting Yun Sheng, Doctor Fan had found soone to continue his legacy, but unfortunately, Yun Sheng had been the only one all this ti. Now, hearing that Ji Mo also wanted to pursue the way of a Magic Doctor brought him joy.
"Mhm!" Ji Mo nodded his head.
"Then stay here, from now on you’ll be Yun Sheng’s dicine man," Lin Yao’er had a rather good impression of this young man.
Yun Sheng rolled her eyes; after all, the recruit was her dicine man, yet no one seed to think to ask for her opinion.
Lin Yao’er went to settle Ji Mo.
Gu Feng hesitated for a while beside them and then quietly said to Yun Sheng, "Yun Sheng, there seems to be sothing off about that Ji Mo."
"Sothing’s not right? What do you an not right?" Yun Sheng still harbored so suspicion regarding Ji Mo’s background.
"He has Light Magic Elents within him... though faint, they are indeed Light Magic Elents," Gu Feng said with conviction.
Now that Gu Feng ntioned it, Yun Sheng also rembered.
When she had previously probed Ji Mo for his Magic Power, her Five Elents Magic Soul didn’t feel anything unusual, and she thought it was because Qingcheng was only a Magic Apprentice with very weak Magic Power.
It turned out that it was not because Qingcheng’s Magic Elents were insufficient, but rather because he was also a Light Mage.
A Light Mage?
The Magic Temple, eh? It seems that the appearance of Moon God’s Praise did catch the attention of the Magic Temple.
"Can you tell if his strength is formidable or not?" That Ji Mo looked completely harmless, and except for Yun Sheng and Gu Feng, everyone else had a good impression of him.
"Not very clear, he seems not very powerful, but he could also be hiding his strength," Gu Feng scratched his head.
"It’s not a problem, if the other party willingly sent a Light Mage to be our dicine Man, I should be glad," Yun Sheng was quite optimistic. If the enemy brings soldiers, she’ll block them, if they bring floodwater, she’ll build a dam; no matter what Ji Mo’s intent was in sneaking into Little Ci’en Hall, she intended to make full use of him and extract his value to the fullest.
After nightfall, post-ditation, Ji Mo recalled Yun Sheng’s earlier words. It seed she hadn’t noticed anything amiss about him, which was a relief. Now that he had infiltrated Little Ci’en Hall, there was plenty of ti to observe slowly.
With the first day’s charity event setting a high bar, Little Ci’en Hall’s reputation soared over the next two days.
With a new dicine Man and Gu Feng’s intermittent assistance, the pharmacy’s dicine sold very well.
However, the good tis were short-lived. Lin Yao’er felt sothing was off while checking the dicinal herb inventory.
"There’s so problem with the dicinal herb supply for Little Ci’en Hall. Several local pharmacies are willing to provide us with herbs. I suspect soone is behind the scenes causing trouble," Cien Hall handed all treatnt-related matters to Doctor Fan, but Lin Yao’er was mainly in charge of purchasing dicine ingredients.
After the last charity event built a reputation, Little Ci’en Hall gradually gained so fa within the country.
The Alchemy Techniques of Yun Sheng and Doctor Fan were genuinely potent, and their Elixirs sold very well on the market.
Just the first month’s Elixir inco reached over five thousand silver coins, which is better than what Little Huichun Hall had made in an entire year.
While the inco from dicinal herbs was good, it also brought about a problem—the supply of dicinal herbs, especially the stable supply of dicinal herbs.
For most dicinal Farrs on the Wuji Continent, selling dicinal herbs to dicine Emperor Pavilion was a matter of honor, and pharmacies were happy to cooperate with dicine Emperor Pavilion.
This led to dicine Emperor Pavilion quickly monopolizing most of the dicinal herb supply within Great Zhou.
A month and a half after the opening of Yun Sheng’s Little Ci’en Hall, the inventory of dicinal herbs in the pharmacy was depleted.
Lin Yao’er did not anticipate today’s situation when she was previously on Daoye Mountain. Being new to Yujing and unfamiliar with the place, she approached several local pharmacies, only to be rejected with the excuse of insufficient herbs and inability to supply.
A single rejection might be a coincidence, but after several occurrences, Lin Yao’er began to sense sothing was wrong.
"Heh, I expected this. dicine Emperor Pavilion, the local bully, would never let us grow unimpeded," Yun Sheng was not surprised. When she foiled Cheng Sihai’s free clinic, she had already anticipated that dicine Emperor Pavilion would not let things slide.
But she didn’t expect that the opponent would stoop so low as to interfere with the procurent of dicinal herbs.
"Master, we can’t go on like this, we’re running out of dicinal herbs to make Elixirs," Lin Yao’er said helplessly.
