"Pharmacist Yang, there’s an injured disciple here who needs you to take a look."

Yang Chan hadn’t been chatting with Zhao Yi for long before Han Bingyu came to find him. Most of the tasks in the Medicine Hall involved tending to these injured disciples.

The Cyan Yuan Sect hadn’t clashed with anyone recently, yet there were quite a few injured disciples. All of them had been sent back from the base of the mountain, seemingly from missions they were carrying out there.

Yang Chan had Han Bingyu look into it, and they were indeed just missions down the mountain, not clashes with other Sects.

Still, the large number of injured disciples was somewhat surprising to Yang Chan.

"Let’s go."

Yang Chan led Han Bingyu toward the courtyard where the injured disciple was. Lately, there had been many injured disciples in the Medicine Hall and Pharmacy, so Yang Chan’s workload was not light.

However, he now had four Pharmacist’s Assistants. The last one had been recruited after he succeeded in Refining Elixirs, when someone took the assessment. This person was also from the Sect—to be precise, a junior relative of the Medicine Hall Master, Gu An. They were connected, but not deeply.

Her name was Gu Shitong. Out of respect for Gu An, Yang Chan accepted her as his final Pharmacist’s Assistant. She had a gentle temperament and didn’t seem like the type to cause trouble; otherwise, Yang Chan wouldn’t have taken her on.

’He certainly wouldn’t take on someone who loved to stir up trouble; that was the opposite of what he was looking for.’

By now, the other two new Pharmacist’s Assistants had familiarized themselves with their duties under Han Bingyu’s guidance. They had also prepared medicinal packets with Yang Chan. While they couldn’t be called senior-level Pharmacist’s Assistants, they rarely made mistakes. They were a bit slow, but very steady.

Gu Shitong was a bit slower, but it was still within a range Yang Chan could accept.

Yang Chan and Han Bingyu entered the Pharmacy and saw the injured disciple on the bed. He wasn’t in good shape. One arm was gone, and the wound was inflamed. In this world, if someone in this condition hadn’t comprehended Power, they would, nine times out of ten, not survive.

Even an Official Disciple who had comprehended Power would have a hard time surviving without medical treatment.

"The wound is inflamed. Bring me the Anti-Inflammatory Water."

Yang Chan looked at the female Pharmacist’s Assistant to the side and ordered.

’His three new Pharmacist’s Assistants aren’t as easy to work with as Han Bingyu. He has to remind them what to get every time. Although he isn’t used to it, he still has them fetch the items to help them get familiar with the process.’

’Rapport is something that can only be built with time.’

’He had chosen these three as his Pharmacist’s Assistants, so naturally, he had to spend some time letting them adapt.’

"You, prepare to feed him the Qi Nourishing Soup to help him recover some Primordial Qi."

Yang Chan then turned his gaze to the only male Pharmacist’s Assistant he had hired, Fang Yun. ’He’s the perfect rebuttal to Zhao Yi’s teasing.’

Otherwise, Zhao Yi would have dubbed his team of assistants a "women’s army."

Although it was just a joke, having Fang Yun, a male Pharmacist’s Assistant, prevented this nickname from ever being born and saved Yang Chan his last shred of dignity.

Of the three female Pharmacist’s Assistants, Han Bingyu had the best figure. She was stunningly well-endowed, with a curvaceous body that suggested good child-bearing hips.

Liu Qing had been accepted along with Fang Yun. She had no special background or status, and her origins were simple. She wasn’t strikingly beautiful at first glance, but her bone structure was excellent—she possessed the bones of a true beauty.

The last female Pharmacist’s Assistant, Gu Shitong, had a gentle temperament and the demure look of a girl from a respectable family. She was very charming and didn’t seem like she would be a troublesome person.

Of course, Yang Chan hadn’t known her for long, so he couldn’t be sure of her true personality. He couldn’t rule out the possibility that she was a "green tea."

’If things don’t feel right later on, I can just replace her with another Pharmacist’s Assistant.’

He had to give Gu An face, but not to the point where it would negatively affect him.

Hearing Yang Chan’s order, Fang Yun hurried to the side to get the Qi Nourishing Soup. This particular medicine had many uses, so it was always kept prepared in the Pharmacy.

Most Pharmacists would have injured disciples take it before starting treatment. It helped restore some of their Primordial Qi and also put something in their stomachs. After all, the treatment process could sometimes be long and painful, putting a great strain on the body.

The Qi Nourishing Soup was quite effective, even more so than the Strengthening and Nourishing Porridge. After treatment, the two would be used in combination.

This simple method had saved many a Cyan Yuan Sect Disciple.

Fang Yun was also a very reliable worker.

"Prepare gauze and a scalpel for me. This wound needs to be debrided."

Yang Chan’s gaze fell upon Gu Shitong, who was waiting by the side for something to do, and gave her a task as well. All three new assistants were now busy; not a single one was left idle.

Not far from Yang Chan, Han Bingyu watched occasionally, but she spent most of her time helping him by checking on the other injured disciples. If anyone’s condition relapsed, she would ask Yang Chan to go and examine them.

’Han Bingyu’s performance has already surpassed that of an ordinary Pharmacist’s Assistant. Her progress is extremely fast. When she encounters a problem, she doesn’t just consult me, but also the other Pharmacist’s Assistants and even other Pharmacists. She’s quite good at solving problems on her own, a trait I greatly admire.’

’If Han Bingyu continues on this path, she has a very good chance of becoming a Pharmacist, which would be a great help to her.’

’I know that although Han Bingyu is a disciple of the Han Family, she doesn’t have many Cultivation Resources. Firstly, the Han Family doesn’t provide much support to their disciples who enter the Cyan Yuan Sect. Secondly, Han Bingyu’s branch of the family doesn’t hold much real power, so their available Cultivation Resources are limited.’

’Now, even with my backing, which allows her to obtain a fair amount of Cultivation Resources from the Han Family, it still isn’t enough.’

’For instance, right now Han Bingyu wants to break through to the External Refining Copper Skin Realm. Besides her progress in Martial Arts Cultivation, she’s still lacking the necessary Cultivation Resources.’

’If Han Bingyu can become a Pharmacist, her status and position within the Han Family will rise accordingly, and she’ll no longer be short on Cultivation Resources. Naturally, this is very important to her.’

Therefore, Yang Chan saw that Han Bingyu was a very hardworking person.

’Her methods of communicating with people, using various means to gather information, are also ways for her to acquire Cultivation Resources. I certainly don’t dislike this kind of person.’

’In the Cyan Yuan Sect, although I mostly see friendly faces, I know perfectly well that they’re only friendly for my benefit. Because the value and status I now display are high, I naturally only encounter friendly people.’

’But Servant Disciples, ordinary Official Disciples, and Pharmacist’s Assistants get to see people’s truer faces. Having been there myself, I know this all too well.’

’That’s why I’m still quite optimistic about a hardworking person like Han Bingyu.’

"Pharmacist Yang, I’ve brought the Anti-Inflammatory Water. Should I pour it on now?"

Liu Qing asked while holding the Anti-Inflammatory Water. She knew the general procedure, but for specific details, she still needed to ask Yang Chan to confirm his treatment method.
