My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife-Chapter 466 : Spirit of the Bright Sword
Actually, since ancient times, medicine and martial arts were indistinguishable.
Those who practiced martial arts would usually have some understanding of medical skills.
But Qin Yu was different, having grown up with his grandfather, his medical skills surpassed those of many professional doctors.
After entering the pharmacy, he rattled off a lengthy list of medicinal herb names to the salesgirl dressed in a nurse's uniform.
Dudu....
After tapping away on the calculator for a while, the salesgirl looked up with a puzzled expression, "Handsome guy, the total for these herbs comes to almost four hundred thousand, are you sure?"
Ordinary people visiting a pharmacy might spend a few thousand on medicine at most, but Qin Yu went straight for several hundred thousand's worth of herbs.
"As long as they're genuine, money is not an issue."
Qin Yu said indifferently.
Tonight he might end up clashing with Zhao Qilin to the death, and he needed to prepare at least two "Qi Replenishing Pills"—a recipe recorded in his grandfather's medical notes, a formula that had been lost to time.
Once consumed, they could quickly replenish the vital energy in one's meridians.
He was likely no match for Zhao Qilin, and the only way not to be defeated was to resort to medicine.
For instance, Yang Kun, the junior brother of Black Tortoise Tang, couldn't beat him and also resorted to pills; only his bad luck led to an overdose, resulting in heart failure and immediate death.
"Giggle, rest assured, handsome guy. Our pharmacy's herbs are all guaranteed, I will get them for you right away!"
After saying this with a smile, the salesgirl began to gather the herbs for Qin Yu. A sale of several hundred thousand meant a commission of several thousand, so she was naturally very pleased.
Ten minutes later.
The salesgirl placed a full bag of herbs on the counter and said with a smile, "Handsome guy, that'll be four hundred and fifteen thousand."
"Hmm, and one box of Silver Needles."
Qin Yu added after a moment's thought.
Silver Needles were sharp and easy to conceal; they could be used not only for self-healing when injured but also as hidden weapons in critical moments.
"Giggle, handsome guy, you've spent so much, the Silver Needles are on us. What do you do for a living? Do you run a medicinal cuisine restaurant? Let's add each other on WeChat; the next time you need to buy herbs, I will deliver them directly to you!"
After fetching a box of silver needles for Qin Yu, the salesgirl spoke while batting her eyelashes.
Men like young, good-looking girls. Women also like handsome, wealthy men.
"Er, no need."
Qin Yu waved his hand dismissively, packed the Silver Needles into the bag, and left the pharmacy.
Returning to the villa, he found a clay pot for making soup and put all the herbs in it. Several hundred thousand just for two Qi Replenishing Pills; no wonder most martial artists were quite poor—it really wasn't cheap.
After lighting the fire, Qin Yu took some ingredients out of the fridge and began to prepare a simple egg fried rice.
Gurgle....
About an hour later, the soup in the clay pot had turned a dark brown, and the kitchen filled with the distinctive bitter aroma of the medicinal herbs.
Qin Yu sat on a stool, his eyes slightly closed, as he circulated the Shen Zhao Jing, using his essence to cleanse his meridians.
Since defeating Feng Wudao, he hadn't been practicing seriously.
He thought he was quite impressive, but it was only after encountering Zhao Qilin that he realized there is always someone better, and there are mountains beyond mountains.
There might be even stronger beings beyond the Pill Holding Realm.
Otherwise, the Ancient Martial Families wouldn't hold such an extraordinary status in Hua Country.
But his knowledge of martial arts came from his grandfather, and now that he had passed away, Qin Yu felt lost on the path of martial arts, unsure of what step to take next.
Sigh....
Qin Yu sighed inwardly and subconsciously touched the black ring his grandfather had left him.
He said that if Qin Yu met someone who recognized the ring, they could help him. But at the same time, it could also bring disaster upon him.
What exactly does Grandpa mean?
Where did this ring come from, and what does it represent?
Qin Yu felt the clouds of suspicion in his heart growing thicker, and only by dealing with the Martial Alliance and the Ye Family, as well as Zhao Qilin, would he have a chance to search for answers.
An entire afternoon.
Qin Yu didn't leave the kitchen.
It was his first time refining Qi Replenishing Pills, and he had to be extremely cautious, hoping to succeed on his first try; otherwise, he would have wasted hundreds of thousands.
Wow, it smells great!
After a while, the bitter medicinal scent in the air had turned into a refreshing herbal fragrance.
Qin Yu's spirits lifted, he stood and turned off the heat, looking into the pot where the medicinal ingredients had completely dissolved, leaving only a layer of muddy, sludge-like crystals.

He patiently waited for about ten minutes for the pot to cool down before he took out the sludge-like crystals and rolled them into two pills by hand.
Of course, compared to real pills, Qin Yu's two Qi Replenishing Pills could only be considered a "low-end version."
Who cares, though? The appearance may not be good-looking, but as long as they're practical, that's fine.
Qin Yu then found a jewelry box that belonged to Yan Mingyu to house the two Qi Replenishing Pills and the Silver Needle, tucked them into his suit pocket, and took his car keys before heading out.
He arrived at Yan Mingyu's company building just at five o'clock.
"Eh, what have you been doing? You smell strongly of medicine; are you injured?"
Yan Mingyu's nose was quite sharp, and she asked Qin Yu with surprise as soon as she got into the car.
"I've refined two Qi Replenishing Pills. I'm afraid I might get into a fight with Zhao Qilin later."
After Qin Yu finished speaking, he thought of Liu Xiaoxiao, "By the way, I asked Xiaoxiao to leave the provincial capital and head to The North. As for which city, it's better that we don't know."
"What's happened, any trouble?"
Yan Mingyu asked, frowning.
"You know Wang Jinbo, right? He's involved in a case of suicide, and today I had Xiaoxiao lure him out. Unexpectedly, during the transportation back, he escaped. I'm worried he might seek revenge on Xiaoxiao, so I sent her off on a trip to The North. I'll try to sort out these issues before the end of the year!"
Qin Yu gave a brief account of the events of the day.
"Or... let's not attend the banquet. We've offended too many people recently!"
Yan Mingyu showed a hesitant look.
She was not a timid and weak woman, but she was somewhat worried about running into Zhao Qilin at the banquet, fearing Qin Yu would be at a disadvantage.
"It's okay, honey. I dare not claim I can beat Zhao Qilin, but with two Qi Replenishing Pills to support me, it won't be easy for him to win against me," said Qin Yu, squeezing Yan Mingyu's slightly cold hand.
As a man, when facing a formidable opponent, it's not necessary to clash to the death, but one must at least have the courage to "draw one's sword."
"Well... okay. It's best if we can avoid any conflict!"
Yan Mingyu bit her lip, still somewhat worried.
"I have a clear sense in my mind!"
After saying that, Qin Yu focused on driving.
Around five thirty, they arrived at the entrance of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce headquarters.
Compared to the Donghai Chamber of Commerce building, the Jinling Chamber of Commerce was evidently more majestic and grand, with various luxury cars parked at the entrance and security guards in black uniforms bustling about.
"Yan... President Yan!"
Qin Yu parked the car, and just as he and Yan Mingyu got out, a large Land Rover also pulled up.
The car window rolled down, revealing Tang Xuanwu's unnatural expression.
Last time he went to East Sea, he thought he could easily take care of Qin Yu, but to his surprise, Huang Lianying got wrecked in the process, putting him in a very awkward situation.
