Mundane Saint

Chapter 71 – This guy is looking for trouble

Qing Yi was now an ordinary mortal with no cultivation.

This identity was the most useful for probing.

He had been observing for a while, and aside from the president and manager of the Golden Phoenix Treasure Hall, everyone who went in was a mortal.

Since it was a place for treating mortals, he figured he wouldn't have any issues going in.

With this thought, Qing Yi confidently stepped into the front courtyard.

The plaque didn't react at all.

He easily walked into the consultation hall, glanced around, and found nothing unusual. It was just like any other medicine hall, except for a wild cat sleeping on top of the medicine cabinet...

Qing Yi was a bit puzzled, but hearing some noise from the back room, he tiptoed over. Although he had lost his cultivation, he had been an assassin for many years, and his stealth skills were second nature. He approached the back room door silently and without a trace.

Peering inside, he saw a young girl brewing some medicinal liquid in a large iron pot, and he caught a whiff of the medicinal aroma.

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

What kind of strange concoction was this?

He sniffed the medicinal aroma, thinking it seemed to have healing properties, but before he could ponder further, the girl noticed him, stood up, and walked over to scrutinize him.

Qing Yi suddenly felt tense.

This girl only had the cultivation of the second level of Foundation Establishment... but that was still significant, as Qing Yi was now a mortal!

Even though he had some poison on him just in case, he didn't dare act rashly.

Because, according to the survivor's account, this girl could intercept and crush two Core Formation stage two assassins with ease. Now that he had temporarily dispersed his cultivation, he wasn't sure he could be faster than her.

"...Are you here for a consultation?"

Qin Yiyao scrutinized the man who didn't seem friendly.

This guy had no cultivation, wore coarse cloth, but his sneaky actions didn't seem like those of a good person. She wondered if he was here for a consultation or planning to steal something. If it was the latter, he deserved a lesson.

"Ah, yes."

Qin Yiyao pursed her lips, thinking he wasn't here to steal.

She pointed to a chair in the front hall.

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

"Oh, I understand, thank you, miss. I'll let you get back to your work."

Qing Yi turned and walked towards the front hall.

Watching him return to the front hall and sit down, Qin Yiyao frowned, "This man is really strange."

At that moment, Gu Heng came in from the backyard and saw Qin Yiyao not paying attention to the fire, but constantly glancing towards the front hall. He coughed, startling Qin Yiyao.

"Yiyao, what are you looking at? I told you to pay attention to the fire, or the effectiveness of the medicinal liquid will be compromised."

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

Qin Yiyao stuck out her tongue and ran back to continue controlling the fire with a playful smile, making Gu Heng lose any intention of scolding her.

It's hard to scold such an adorable disciple.

However, he had confidence in Qin Yiyao's ability to refine medicine.

"Hmm... looks pretty good."

Gu Heng nodded in satisfaction at the blue medicinal liquid boiling in the pot.

After Feng Wuxin and Aunt Yuan left, he had pulled Qin Yiyao, who was upstairs training her physique, down to try teaching her medicine refining. At first, she was reluctant to learn, but since he had taken her as a disciple and was now a medicine refining physician, how could he not teach her?

As it turned out, Qin Yiyao had a natural talent.

"This medicinal liquid isn't difficult to refine. Master, you can let me try more challenging pills in the future."

Qin Yiyao smiled.

The result was unexpected for her.

Even she didn't know why she had such strong mental power. It was as if sitting in front of the cauldron, her mind was fully engaged. Refining medicine required mental focus, with cultivation being secondary.

The strength of mental power was the key to successful medicine refining.

But Qin Yiyao's mental power used to be weak. After dying and being reborn, her cultivation was gone, but her mental power hadn't regressed to its original state... Qin Yiyao had just discovered this!

This meant she had the talent to become a medicine refining physician!

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

Gu Heng flicked her forehead lightly to prevent her from becoming too arrogant.

His "medical skills" were personally taught by the System.

From knowing nothing to reaching mastery, Gu Heng had honed his skills over several years.

And Qin Yiyao had only been introduced to medicine refining for less than half an hour.

But she learned quickly, which made Gu Heng very pleased. In a few years, he believed she could graduate and open her own medicine hall, treating and saving people. If she didn't have the talent for cultivation and becoming a cultivator, at least he could teach her a skill to make a living.

Studying medicine offered many opportunities.

"Oh, and someone has come for a consultation."

"Really? You continue refining, I'll handle the business."

Gu Heng went to the front hall and saw Qing Yi sitting on a chair, looking around.

Seeing someone approach, Qing Yi became even more tense. Judging by the appearance, this must be the owner of the medicine hall described by the survivor...

Very young, with a somewhat scholarly demeanor, but remembering that Qing Si died at his hands, Qing Yi didn't dare trust this first impression too much. There were plenty of people in the world who appeared courteous and refined but were secretly bloodthirsty.

"How should I address you?"

Qing Yi stood up first.

"Just call me Mr. Gu. Are you here for a consultation or something else?"

Gu Heng's demeanor was gentle, with a faint smile that felt like a spring breeze, but Qing Yi only grew more nervous. People who smiled on the outside but were dark inside were the most terrifying.

He needed to probe to find out the cultivation level of this medicine hall owner.

"Is Mr. Gu new here? I've lived here for quite a while and haven't seen you before."

Qing Yi began his probing.

"Ah, yes, I just came from Greenwood City and have just settled down. The reputation of this medicine hall hasn't been established yet, so I rely on the neighbors to speak well of it."

Gu Heng was honest, as he was new here and wanted to leave a good impression.

"Oh... but there are many medicine halls in the south of the city, and seeing how young you are, I'm afraid you don't have much real skill?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng raised an eyebrow.

This person wasn't here for a consultation, was he?

This seemed like someone looking for trouble!

"You're not here for a consultation, are you?"

"Right, I'll be straightforward. You've opened a new medicine hall here in Cloud Spirit City, but all the other halls have renowned old physicians. If you don't have some skill, it won't be easy."

After Qing Yi finished speaking, cold sweat was already forming on his back.
