I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 71: This guy is looking for trouble

Qingyi is currently a mortal with no cultivation.

This kind of identity is most effective for probing.

He had been observing for some time now, and apart from the president and manager of the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop, everyone who went in was an ordinary person.

Since it's for treating ordinary people, he won't be in any danger if he goes in, right?

With that thought in mind, Qingyi stepped into the front yard without any hesitation.

The plaque did not react at all.

He walked casually into the consultation room, looked around, and found nothing unusual, just like in any clinic, except for a sleeping stray cat perched on top of the medicine cabinet...

Qingyi was a little puzzled, but when he heard some noises coming from the back room, he tiptoed over. Although he had lost his cultivation, he had been an assassin for so many years and was very good at using this stealth footwork. He approached the door of the back room silently without making a sound.

Qing looked inside and saw a young girl boiling some medicinal liquid in a large iron pot. He also smelled the aroma of medicine.

Upon closer inspection, the medicine in the iron pot was a thick, blue color.

What kind of weird thing is this?

He sniffed the medicinal fragrance, seemingly thinking that the medicine had a healing effect, but before he could think further, the girl saw him, stood up, walked over, and looked him up and down.

Qingyi suddenly became nervous.

This girl only has the cultivation level of the second stage of Foundation Establishment... but that's not all, Qingyi is just a mortal now!

Although he carried poison on him just in case, he dared not act rashly.

According to the survivor, this girl was capable of intercepting and killing two assassins at the second level of the Core Formation stage, and she crushed them in a crushing manner. Even if he temporarily dispersed his cultivation, he might not be able to outrun her.

"...Are you here for a medical checkup?"

Qin Yiyao sized up the man who didn't seem friendly.

This guy has no cultivation and is dressed in coarse cloth, but his movements are furtive and suspicious. He doesn't seem like a good person. She was wondering if he came to see a doctor or if he was planning to steal something. If it was the latter, then he deserved to be taught a lesson.

"Ah, yes."

Qin Yiyao pouted, indicating that she wasn't there to steal anything.

She pointed to a chair in the front hall.

"Go sit there and wait, don't look around."

"Oh, I see. Thank you, miss. You're busy now."

Qingyi turned and walked towards the front hall.

Watching him walk back to the front hall and sit down, Qin Yiyao frowned: "This man is so strange."

Gu Heng entered from the backyard and saw that Qin Yiyao wasn't paying attention to the cooking time but kept looking towards the front hall. He coughed, which startled Qin Yiyao, making her tremble.

"Yi Yao, what are you looking at? I told you to pay close attention to the heat, otherwise the potency of the medicine will be reduced."

"Don't worry, Master. I was just thinking about something else."

Qin Yiyao stuck out her tongue, grinned, and ran back to continue controlling the heat. Seeing her like this, Gu Heng, who had originally wanted to blame her, no longer had that thought.

My adorable disciple is hard to discipline.

However, he trusted Qin Yiyao's ability to refine medicine.

"Hmm...it looks pretty good."

Gu Heng looked at the blue medicinal liquid simmering in the pot and nodded in satisfaction. After Feng Wuxin and Aunt Yuan left, he immediately dragged Qin Yiyao down from upstairs, who was continuing her physical training, and tried to teach her how to refine medicine. At first, she was not very willing to learn, but since he had taken her as his apprentice and was now a medicine-refining physician, how could he not let her learn?

As it turns out, Qin Yiyao is indeed talented.

"This kind of medicine is not difficult to refine. Master, you can let me refine some more difficult pills in the future."

Qin Yiyao smiled.

This result was actually beyond her expectations.

Even she herself didn't know why she had such strong mental power. It was as if her mind was mobilized the moment she sat in front of the boiler. When it comes to refining medicine, mental strength is the most important thing, and cultivation is the second most important thing.

The strength of one's mental power is the key to the success of alchemy.

However, Qin Yiyao's spiritual power was actually very weak before. She died and was reborn, and all her cultivation disappeared, but her spiritual power did not regress to its original state... Qin Yiyao just realized this!

This means that she has the talent to become an alchemist!

"Don't be arrogant. I've only taught you the simplest prescriptions and techniques. Reaching my level won't be that quick."

Gu Heng flicked her forehead with his finger to prevent the girl from becoming too arrogant.

His "medical skills" were personally trained by the system.

From initially being "completely ignorant" to eventually becoming "masterful," Gu Heng had honed his skills for several years.

Qin Yiyao had only been practicing alchemy for less than half an hour.

But she learns very quickly, which makes Gu Heng very happy. In a few years, Gu Heng thinks she will be able to graduate and open her own clinic to treat the sick and save lives. Even if she doesn't have the talent to cultivate and become a cultivator, at least he can teach her a skill to make a living.

Studying medicine offers many career paths.

"Oh, and someone's come to see a doctor." "Really? You keep practicing, I'm going to do some business."

Gu Heng arrived at the front hall and saw Qingyi sitting on a chair, looking around.

Upon seeing the person arrive, Qing became even more nervous, because judging from their appearance, this should be the owner of the clinic described by the survivor...

He was very young and seemed to have a refined and scholarly air about him, but when Qing Yi thought about how Qing Si had died at his hands, he didn't dare to trust this first impression too much. There were many people in the world who appeared refined and polite on the surface but were actually bloodthirsty and ruthless in secret.

"What do you call it?"

Qingyi stood up first.

"Just call me Mr. Gu. Are you here for a medical appointment or is there something else?"

Gu Heng's attitude was gentle, with a faint smile that gave people a feeling of warmth and comfort. However, Qing Yi became even more nervous. This kind of person, who smiled on the outside but whose heart was possibly dark, was more terrifying. He needed to test what level of cultivation this clinic owner possessed.

"Is Mr. Gu new here? I've been living here for quite a while, and I've never seen you before."

Qingyi took the initiative to test the waters.

"Ah, yes, I just came from Qingmu City and have only just settled in. The reputation of this clinic hasn't been established yet, and we still need many neighbors to say good things about it."

Gu Heng was also very honest, after all, he was new here and wanted to leave a good impression.

"Oh... but there are so many clinics in the south of the city, and you look so young, I'm afraid you don't have any real skills, right?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng raised an eyebrow.

Is this person here for medical treatment?

This looks like they're here to cause trouble!

"You're not here for treatment, are you?" "Yes, I'll be frank. You've opened a new clinic in Yunling City, but the other clinics are all run by famous old doctors. If you don't have some skills, it won't be easy to succeed."

After Qingyi finished speaking, cold sweat had already seeped out on her back.
