Chapter 252: Chapter 220: Fame Shakes Jinghua (Part 2)

"Miaoxue, I knew it, as soon as you came back, you monopolized Mr. Lin for yourself, it’s too selfish..." Yue Mei’Er’s voice came from outside, clearly this woman had found this place.

"What’s the matter, I knew Mr. Lin before you did, Yue Mei’Er, watch your status, you came later, even by order of entry, you’re behind me, and now you have no standing, you probably won’t even be third, there are several ahead of you..."

What several ahead? So far, aside from a proper wife, aren’t you two the only ones forced into this?

"Miaoxue, how about we have a competition to see who can serve Mr. Lin better?" Yue Mei’Er grit her teeth and proposed.

Lin Miao froze, feeling a sense of inevitable dread.

"Fine, let’s compete, am I afraid of you?" Si Miaoxue blurted out, after resting for a while, she had regained her strength.

Besides, she was a Martial Cultivator of the Meridian Passage Realm. As long as she willed it, she could recover her strength in an instant by adjusting her breaths.

"Did either of you ask my opinion?"

"Mr. Lin, surely you can handle both of us sisters, right..."

Faced with two beauties, each with her own charm, how could Lin Miao admit he couldn’t? Besides, with the "Embrace Yang" method, what was there to fear?

"Bring it!" He gritted his teeth.

...

The Pharmacist also has an internship period, but it’s rather simple. Just find a pharmacy or work in a herb-related job, and after six months, you can officially obtain the Pharmacist Seal.

A prescription sold to a patient must have the stamped seals of the Physician, the medical center or pharmacy, and the Pharmacist who prepared the medicine.

All three seals combined prove that the prescription’s sale is legitimate, and in case of any issues, the authorities will recognize it.

However, sometimes the Physician, Pharmacist, and the clinic owner are the same person, but all three seals are still required.

Sun Youwei followed Guan Biyun directly, and her internship period passed easily. As for Lin Miao, he was still undergoing the "Path to Sainthood" trial.

Although the two are not in conflict, if someone finds fault, they could still trouble you.

Thus, it’s better not to obtain the Pharmacist Seal for now and wait for a later time.

April quickly passed halfway.

The number of patients Lin Miao saw during his trial reached two-thirds, amounting to four months. Calculating about sixty patients a day, subtracting breaks, it was approximately over six thousand five hundred patients.

With ample time, in about another three months, Lin Miao would complete the "Path to Sainthood" trial.

This leaves him with five months remaining.

Lin Miao did not plan to leave the consultation point immediately upon completing the trial; he planned to stay for a full year.

Opportunities like this to accumulate casework wouldn’t come frequently.

Moreover, it would be beneficial to Senior Sister and Xia Zhu; the more cases they reviewed, the easier the "Medical Officer Exam" would be for them.

Originally, Lin Miao promised to take Sun Youwei back to Qingping Town in Baihe County after passing the Pharmacist exam since he had left in a hurry and hadn’t had time to refurbish the master’s grave.

But Sun Youwei suggested waiting until he finished the trial cases, which would allow them to report the good news to the master. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Calculations estimate that they’d return in July or August.

By then, he would have upgraded to the Blood Fusion Realm, and he wouldn’t fear any Blood Fusion Realm expert from the Huang Family.

Mr. Xie’s broken leg would also take three months to heal, and by then he would be able to travel, too; he knew Baihe County much better than Lin Miao.

Moreover, they’d move into the newly refurbished estate.

If they returned now, many things would be interrupted, especially the reforms at Huaye Tower. Although Shi Yin was in charge, without oversight and occasional problem-solving, issues could easily arise.

Also, the groundwork in Li Hen City had just begun, and at least they needed to wait for Su Chen and the others to return from the Great Yue Country before they could rest assured and go back.

Su Chen had already led the trade caravan to the capital of the Yue Country. The communication efficiency of the major sects and clans was much better.

Usually, correspondence would take place every two or three days. Lin Miao didn’t have a hawk post, but Star-Picking Tower did, and any message would be delivered to him promptly.

Actually, by the end of March, Su Chen and the people of the Snow Mountain Sect had arrived in the Yue Country. The exquisite colorless glassware created a sensation among the elites and wealthy of Yuedu.

Su Chen’s business acumen was apparent. He first secured an entire inn in Yuedu, and after some modification, turned it into an exhibition hall.

Such a large quantity of colorless glassware was impossible to hide, so it was better to present it all at once.

Hundreds of pieces of glassware were exhibited in Yuedu, instantly sparking interest among Yuedu officials and nobles, who flocked to visit.

Visiting the exhibition was entirely free.

Moreover, Su Chen crafted a poignant story for this batch of glassware, claiming it was part of a dowry from a princess of a Western region, because they did exhibit some Western characteristics...

The princess had hoped to grow old with her beloved prince but was heartbroken when he turned his affections elsewhere. Heartbroken, she tragically fell ill and died, refusing to leave any glassware for the unfaithful man, instead taking them to her grave.

The pieces, though of the deceased, were elevated in status thanks to the tragic love story packaged around them.

And given this was centuries ago, who would still care about such things?

As for the validity of the story, the Great Yue Country is thousands of miles away from the Western regions; who would bother verifying the existence of such a princess?

After the glassware exhibition,

Su Chen, in the name of the Snow Mountain Sect, presented a set of colorless glass teapots and cups to the King of the Yue Country, earning him significant praise.

The Su Family then prepared to auction off the glassware under the pretense of raising funds to deal with "horse disease" issues causing them trouble.

Some issues are better addressed openly than kept secret.

Then, while auction and covert sales were conducted simultaneously, Su Chen’s purchase of medicinal herbs in the Yue Country raised no suspicions.

Given the horse disease at the stables, buying some herbs was perfectly normal.

Besides herbs, there were many other goods available as long as the Da Li Dynasty needed them.

All were welcome, as long as they weren’t banned for export.

Since the glassware auction began, every day, the Su Family’s caravans and fleets have been transporting goods bought in the Yue Country to Da Li Dynasty.

Although the Su Family suffered severe damage, they still hold imperial merchant status, enjoying privileges and tax breaks in Da Li Dynasty.

Apparently, the Su Family had rejuvenated with a wave of recovery, and the plot to swallow the Su Family through "horse disease" had failed.

If trouble persisted now, and the Su Family retaliated fiercely, no one could endure the fallout!

Moreover, as the Su Family earned silver and returned it to Da Li, resulting in considerable tax revenue for the court...

In the hawk mail, Su Chen dared not explicitly state how much they had earned this round, but Lin Miao knew how much glassware they had brought. Estimating the numbers conservatively, at least six million taels of silver were made.

These were converted into goods transported back to Da Li and sold in the market, after deducting taxes, at least a thirty percent markup...

Excluding personal usage, at least another million taels could be earned.

The trip’s various costs, including dealing with officials and checkpoints in the Great Yue, would require at least fifty thousand taels.

After deducting these expenses, based on the prior agreement, each of the three parties would receive at least two million taels of silver.

This is only the first trip; there’d be another this year. Although the next batch may not sell for as much, its quality should be higher and quantity larger.
