Chapter 210: Chapter 122: Every Generation Produces Talented Individuals (2) Chapter 210: Chapter 122: Every Generation Produces Talented Individuals (2) Good heavens! Who will explain to him if he’s too ignorant or the world too crazy?
“It’s over… all over… Now it’s all over!” Hu Yihai mumbled to himself and squatted down, holding his head.
A Superior dicine Refiner, his uncle had actually advanced to beco a Superior dicine Refiner! This should have been a cause for celebration, but now for him, it felt like a bolt out of the blue!
“Our Liuzhou dical Guild is dood!” Hu Yihai wept bitterly, tears and snot flowing…
“Father, don’t lose heart just yet. I just saw Lady Changsheng asserting with utter confidence, she didn’t seem to be faking, we might still have a chance!” Upon seeing this, Hu Tiandong quickly helped his father up with the others.
“What’s the use of asserting with confidence? What’s the use of making solemn vows? Jiangnan has always been a place where talents erge, and in sixty years, a whole sixty years, we have only seen a Hu Bingzhi. Do you think Superior dicine Refiners are like cabbages? That they can be grown in batches? Let alone batches, even this one has stirred up huge waves in the world of dicine. It’s over, now it’s really over…”
Compared to Hu Yihai’s despair, the faces of the others didn’t look much better.
Having spotted this scene, Jiao Fangyi left the crowd that was congratulating him and strode over with a manner full of self-satisfaction, his face brimming with pride. He taunted, “What’s the matter, willing to admit defeat now? A bunch of clowns hanging from the beam, daring to bounce in front of , what now, you lost, haven’t you? You’re satisfied with this outco, right? The Silver Tael you’ll need to beg for dicine at ten tis the price for the next five years should keep you up at night, tsk tsk…”
“Jiao Fangyi, don’t get too cocky! Our Liuzhou dical Guild won’t admit defeat!” Hu Tiandong couldn’t take such mockery and leapt up, his face turning crimson with anger.
“Tsk tsk… Not admitting defeat? We’ve got a Superior dicine Refiner on our side. Do you even know what that ans? It ans unlimited access to dicinal materials, it ans pharmacists will have to follow his lead, it ans securing his support will mark the rise of a pharmacy. Young man, if you don’t understand the value of a Superior dicine Refiner, then stop stubbornly resisting.” Jiao Fangyi rolled his eyes at Hu Tiandong with a scornful laugh on his face.
“Pah! So what if he’s a Superior dicine Refiner? Lady Changsheng hasn’t left the processing courtyard yet; the outco is still uncertain!” Hu Tiandong retorted, not willing to concede a single point.
“Oh, unbelievable, a Superior dicine Refiner isn’t much? You must have never seen pork or even a pig walking! I’ll tell you this, even if Gu Changsheng leaves the processing courtyard, she can’t hope to beat Imperial Doctor Hu. A Superior dicine Refiner isn’t much, you say? If you’re so capable, bring out a Top-grade Alchemy Master then!” Jiao Fangyi laughed loudly as he spoke, drawing the attention of many. Soon, everyone was laughing along with him.
A Top-grade Alchemy Master? If it’s already a once-in-a-century event to see a Superior dicine Refiner, with only a few beyond the major pharmacist families, then that makes a Top-grade Alchemy Master a legendary figure – throughout history, only a handful have been able to produce top-grade dicinal materials.
The Yellow Emperor counts as one, Shennong counts as one, the dicine King Sun Family counts as one…
As a doctor, as a pharmacist, to witness top-grade dicinal materials in one’s lifeti is to die without regrets!
Unfortunately, dying without regrets isn’t so easy!
A Top-grade Alchemy Master, that’s just a legend!
Hu Tiandong obviously knew this as well, and for a mont, his face turned the color of liver, finding himself at a loss for words!
“Alright, lad, I can’t be bothered to bicker with you. Co on, gentlen, today Imperial Doctor Hu of the Taizhou dical Guild has successfully advanced to beco a Superior dicine Refiner, so I have booked the Lansheng Building. If you are free, please join for a little toast to celebrate!” Jiao Fangyi said this while respectfully inviting Hu Bingzhi and ushering the others along.
No one was going to turn down such an opportunity and they all eagerly agreed, filing out one after another.
“Hu Yihai, a million taels of dicinal Silver Tael, that should keep you worried for years, I won’t disturb you gathering it.” Jiao Fangyi said this deliberately slowing his pace when passing by Hu Yihai, his eyes filled with disdainful mockery.
At that mont, what more could Hu Yihai do? He stood there devoid of spirit, like a walking corpse.
On one hand, Jiao Fangyi led the crowd through the streets, celebrating ostentatiously, while on the other, the mbers of the Liuzhou dical Guild were all filled with gloom, lanting incessantly.
“What are they so proud of! Is a Superior dicine Refiner sothing to spread all over town?” Yuan Bao muttered resentfully, fixing his disheveled clothes and unable to help cursing at the backs of the people leaving.
Turning around, he saw only a group of Liuzhou dical Guild mbers left in the hall, their energy completely drained.
“Hey, old man, what’s wrong with them?” Yuan Bao approached the only outsider left in the hall, Elder Yhan, and cautiously asked.
“They think they’ve already lost the competition and are currently worrying about it.” Elder Yhan stroked his gray whiskers and responded with a smile.
“What! With Lady Changsheng in the ga, there’s no way they could lose, these people are really worrying needlessly!” Yuan Bao exclaid indignantly upon hearing this!
With Lady Changsheng participating in the contest, how could soone like her lose?
Ridiculous!
“I believe the sa!” Elder Yhan nodded seriously, “Every era has its talents that erge. That Hu Bingzhi, indeed, is quite remarkable.”
“Hey! I’m telling you, old man, support Lady Changsheng if you’re going to support her, don’t play both sides to catch the wind! You can’t thoughtlessly try to gain from both!” After saying that, Yuan Bao huffed and walked toward the backyard, shouting as he went, “Lady Changsheng, our master has urgently sent fresh Wenchang Fish all the way from Southern Fujian, still lively and kicking, Lady Changsheng…”
Following the direction of his voice, people saw two Little Eunuchs carrying a large bucket behind him, and truly, the Wenchang Fish inside the bucket were lively, brimming with energy…
