Chapter 19 - 17 Selling Medicine
Huichun Hall was a highly reputable medicine shop in Luofeng City, where the principle of fairness was upheld, deception was forbidden, and the practices of medicine and sales were always just. Hence, it garnered great trust from the people of Luofeng City.
Entering Huichun Hall, Ye Chen clad in black robes attracted considerable attention. However, since it was noon, a time when most people were resting, the large medicine shop had no customers and was very quiet.
He went straight to the counter where the shopkeeper was an elderly man with white, hoary hair. An experienced and trusted physician who had practiced medicine for many years in Luofeng City, he was affectionately known as Doctor Xiao due to his surname.
Doctor Xiao wasn’t surprised by Ye Chen’s arrival in a black robe. Since the shop also purchased medicinal materials, it wasn’t uncommon for sellers to appear in disguise, especially those dealing with rarer medicines, to avoid attracting trouble and being robbed of their money.
He asked gently, "Sir, are you looking to sell medicine?"
"Mhm, I’m looking to sell this bottle of medicine liquid," Ye Chen responded, his voice slightly hoarse, making it difficult to determine his age. He took out a medicine bottle from the wide sleeve of his robe and placed it on the rosewood counter.
Doctor Xiao took the medicine bottle, which looked quite ordinary; the kind you could acquire two for a mere copper coin on the streets. However, the moment he opened the stopper, a faint, medicinal fragrance wafted out, instantly invigorating the senses!
A fine product!
With years of experience in medicine, Doctor Xiao recognized at first sniff that this bottle of medicine liquid must be of superior quality. Upon closer inspection, the liquid inside was a clear, emerald green, with a cool aura that seemed to alleviate any aches on the body, causing him to inwardly marvel.
Delighted, and seldom encountering such a fine product, Doctor Xiao asked, "Sir, may I inquire, is this a healing liquid?"
Ye Chen nodded and said, "Doctor Xiao has good eyesight indeed. This is a healing liquid which is especially effective against the concealed afflictions one might sustain during cultivation, offering a complete cure."
