Chapter 118: Chapter 118: You’re Just a Divorced Woman that Even a Paralyzed Man Wouldn’t Want!
Qi Yue smiled faintly.
“Mother doesn’t know. All dical prescriptions follow the principle of the monarch, minister, assistant, and ssenger for compatibility, and this dicinal wine recipe originates from the sa source. If there are others knowledgeable in dicine, they could ponder a little and match the rest of the prescriptions one by one. Since that is the case, it’s better for to just give them away.”
Upon hearing this, Granny Zhang suddenly realized, but quickly showed a regretful expression.
“Had I known this before, selling for one million silver coins was too cheap.”
“Hahaha…” Qi Yue laughed heartily, “Mother, don’t worry, I have plenty of good stuff here—it’s just that people in this world might not have enough silver!”
“Yes, Young Miss.”
Seeing Granny Zhang was so astute in making money, Qi Yue intended to let her utilize her skills more, and so she asked, “Granny Zhang, where else can we make a good profit around here?”
Granny Zhang suddenly lifted her head, her shrewd eyes shining.
“The Young Miss clearly doesn’t fancy extravagance, whether it’s your residence or your daily expenses, you don’t use much, so why are you so fixated on gold and silver?”
Her words indeed made Qi Yue pause, prompting her to ponder deeply.
Indeed, speaking of gold and silver, those in her space would already be enough for several lifetis.
What she used daily, everything was available in her space, and truly she did not need much.
But who doesn’t love real gold and silver!
“I also don’t know, perhaps I just feel it might be useful one day?”
Granny Zhang was briefly befuddled by her reasoning but, seeing that Qi Yue was serious, she spoke softly, “If the Young Miss wants to make a big fortune, naturally it’s easiest to earn the money of the wealthy.”
These words imdiately drew Qi Yue’s attention. She had actually thought the sa and encouraged Granny Zhang to continue speaking.
“Young Miss, these days, a large portion of the world’s wealth is concentrated in the hands of the royal families and the rich gentry. But do you know where these royals and the rich gentry concentrate their silver?”
“Where?”
“The underground marketplace.”
South County Governnt was a large jurisdiction.
It bordered Donggao to the east and was connected to the indigenous lands and Nanyue through high mountains and steep ridges to the southwest. The open nature of the border here made it a transfer station.
It had countless rchants and bodyguards coming and going from north to south, and the complex flow of people spurred the underground marketplace of the Longnan County Governnt to thrive, with an economy much more developed than that of the inland areas.
So mysterious brokers had appeared here at so point in ti.
These brokers traveled between nations, specializing in collecting fine goods to et the various needs of the wealthy.
No matter what it was, as long as it was good, useful, and novel, they wanted it.
Granny Zhang said that those dical prescriptions she had sold, and those Life-Extending Pills she had given away could sell for a sky-high price here.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue’s spirit was imdiately lifted, and that very night she entered her space to refine a batch of Spiritual Spring Water pills.
Since she was planning to sell them for money, Qi Yue took it seriously, specially formulating the prescription with the intent to achieve an impressive effect.
As for using Spiritual Spring Water, she beca extra cautious.
Previously having noticed that the plants in her space seed to be growing more beautifully, she suspected it was related to watering them with the bathwater of the White Rhino. Therefore, she specifically took so of this water and conducted distinct tests with the upstream water, discovering that it contained a mysterious microelent with strong regenerative functions.
This ti, in making the pills, she simply used the bathwater of the White Rhino.
She even paid extra attention to their aesthetic, crafting them to resemble gel beads, looking crystal clear and translucent.
Qi Yue specifically took one out for Granny Zhang to look at; she initially thought the pill was a round, lustrous glass bead and didn’t dare to eat it!
Upon learning it was a newly made pill, Granny Zhang imdiately said it would definitely sell for a sky-high price.
Qi Yue wasn’t too concerned about it.
A sky-high price certainly is great, but if it couldn’t be sold, no big deal—she could just make more.
To distinguish it from the earlier Life-Extending Pills, she specifically nad this new pill the Carefree Pill, which ans eating it would make one feel as joyful as the immortals.
With everything ready, Qi Yue planned to head to the underground comrcial city, also known as the black market, to fish for silver from wealthy patrons from various countries.
After completing her morning consultations, Qi Yue returned to her residence for a al and was about to take Granny Zhang to the black market when suddenly a carriage from the Prefectural Office arrived to pick her up, stating that Chu Yuntian had requested her presence.
A summons from her adoptive father was not sothing she could ignore, so she had to postpone her trip to the black market.
Upon arriving at the Prefectural Office, she found that the hall was filled with quite a number of people.
At a quick glance, Qi Yue saw that these individuals were all officials from the county governnt, and even Hu Chengxuan was present.
Just as she was wondering if there had been a mistake and was about to leave, Chu Yuntian saw her.
“Yueyue, co in quick, I was just about to discuss a matter with you!”
As everyone in the hall caught sight of her, they all nodded in recognition, everyone except for Hu Chengxuan, who had a long face as if she owed him hundreds of thousands of silver taels.
“Yueyue, I’ve called you here for an official matter.”
Chu Yuntian did not dally and quickly explained the situation.
It was to ensure the quality of the dicinal wine supplied by the rchants; they needed her to act as the final check as the verification official.
This matter concerned the lives of more than a hundred thousand soldiers guarding Longnan Ridge, and Qi Yue felt that it wasn’t good for her to be the only verification official, suggesting they should seek the assistance of several others.
After she expressed her opinion, Chu Yuntian readily agreed.
Soon, they found three seasoned local physicians to share the responsibility with Qi Yue.
Once the arrangent was settled and seeing Chu Yuntian was busy, she did not linger and imdiately took her leave.
Yet just as she stepped out the door and was about to pass through an alley, Hu Chengxuan caught up with her and blocked her way.
He had an aggressive deanor as if he was ready to lay hands on her.
However, such a situation could not intimidate Qi Yue.
The knife technique Zhao Xiyan had taught her was now well-honed; even without using her Innate Divine Strength, she could kill a man.
“What is the Prefectural Magistrate intending to do?”
Hu Chengxuan stared at her and scoffed coldly.
“What an impressive tactic. In just less than a month, Doctor Qi has beco the daughter of the Great General, a Divine Doctor?”
Qi Yue raised an eyebrow, “So, Prefectural Magistrate, if there’s sothing you want to say, just say it. I’m in a hurry.”
“You…”
Her nonchalant attitude infuriated Hu Chengxuan, and his expression suddenly darkened as his tiger-like eyes shot a frightening glare with a rapid and urgent tone.
“My son has lost his appetite and is worried sick day in and day out because of you. Co back with to the house for treatnt!”
As he spoke, he gestured with a hand, and imdiately four soldiers surrounded her from all directions.
It seed that if Qi Yue refused to comply, they were ready to forcibly take her.
Qi Yue gave a cold snort and said indifferently, “Losing his appetite is probably due to eating too much. With the enemy forces pressing in, your son is likely worried about the safety of Longnan County Governnt. Prefectural Magistrate Sir, please stop slandering and sullying my good na!”
“Hahahaha…” Hu Chengxuan broke into a bout of mad laughter as if he had heard sothing extrely amusing.
A chill ran through Qi Yue’s heart—was this Hu surna planning to get serious?
“Innocence? Dare I ask if Miss Qi still has any innocence left?” Hu Chengxuan sneered as he twitched his mouth, “Don’t think I don’t know, you’re rely a divorcee not even a cripple would want!”
A divorcee not even a cripple would want!
These words struck Qi Yue’s heart hard, and she couldn’t help but shiver.
“A woman like you is only fit to be a plaything for my son. Today, you will learn the thods of Hu Chengxuan! n, take her down!”
