Chapter 15: The Gang Leader's Summoning, Strange Illness Among the Disaster Victims
The sun is setting.
The Medicine King Gang.
In the courtyard where the gang leader lived, the most eye-catching feature in the spacious courtyard was a martial arts training ground that occupied most of the area.
Wearing a short black outfit and a burly build, the gang leader Peng Dashan, who resembled a human-shaped brown bear, was sitting on a stone stool, looking at a pharmacist assessment form handed to him by Sun Ci.
"A seventeen-year-old intermediate pharmacist."
"it is good."
"Hahaha."
"With such a prodigy emerging from our Medicine King Gang, he will surely infuriate that old bastard from Lu Hua Tang."
"Bring Lin Zhou to see me."
Peng Dashan laughed heartily a few times, feeling much better.
Finally, there's something to be relieved about. Things haven't been peaceful outside Taihu County lately. Although the number of disaster victims has been temporarily brought under control, many have died in tents outside the city.
Some strange illnesses have emerged, and both the Medicine King Gang and Lu Hua Tang have been assigned a lot of tasks.
We need to develop a cure for those strange diseases.
They only had ten days.
Although Peng Dashan looks big and burly, he is also a skilled doctor, but he looks like a martial artist.
In fact, he is a senior intermediate pharmacist.
Today I saw the strange illness of one of the disaster victims outside the city. Black hair started to grow on his arms and legs. He had a high fever that wouldn't go down and he became unusually agitated.
We tried many methods, but none of them worked.
This was giving Peng Dashan a real headache. Moreover, Peng Dashan knew very well that even he, a senior intermediate pharmacist, and the other two intermediate pharmacists in the gang were unable to cure that strange disease.
This is going to be very troublesome.
The only option is to seek help from a senior pharmacist.
However, this task was assigned to the Medicine King Gang and Lu Hua Tang. If neither of them could complete it, they would definitely anger the important person.
The Qingyuan Sect Master Li, with his cultivation at the level of a Qi Master, is not someone they, who are only at the Meridian Opening stage, can afford to provoke.
If they fail to complete this task, they will certainly have to pay double the amount of silver they have to offer as tribute.
They're trying to take advantage of the disaster to fleece the two pharmacists' factions!
soon.
Lin Zhou, dressed in a white pharmacist's robe, entered the courtyard where the gang leader was located. He immediately spotted the burly, inhuman figure, who was nearly ten feet tall.
"Your subordinate, newly promoted pharmacist Lin Zhou, pays respects to the gang leader!"
Lin Zhou stepped forward and politely bowed.
"good!"
"You're really young! To become an intermediate pharmacist at such a young age is truly impressive. Our guild will definitely give you our full support and help you advance to the rank of advanced pharmacist, bringing glory to our Medicine King Guild!"
Immediately, the gang leader Peng Dashan got up and walked to Lin Zhou's side, patted Lin Zhou's shoulder, and said in a tone full of admiration.
"From this day forward, you will move into the Pharmacist's Hall and serve as its deputy head."
Peng Dashan said firmly.
"Thank you, Boss!"
"I will do my utmost to achieve the highest level of skill and reputation for my gang after being promoted to Senior Pharmacist!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhou's eyes lit up with joy.
If I get the position of deputy hall master, then there might be a chance to transfer Master Liang.
Moreover, with the position of deputy hall master, it will be much easier to obtain the various cultivation materials needed for my future cultivation.
After the mid-stage of Skin Refining.
Previously, the Qi and Blood Hall and medicinal baths that Master Liang spent money to buy every day had basically no effect on him, who was in the middle stage of Skin Refining. Only the Qi and Blood Soup of higher age and higher quality could help him in the middle stage of Skin Refining.
"Come."
"Come inside with me."
"With your talent, you must have amazing comprehension. I'll show you a strange illness. I don't expect you to find a cure, but just to give you a look. Perhaps it can provide you with another idea."
"This matter is of great importance; we must do our utmost."
Peng Dashan spoke earnestly to Lin Zhou, then turned and walked towards a side room.
"Yes, boss."
Lin Zhou clasped his hands in a salute and then followed.
Pushing open the door to an east wing room, one is immediately enveloped in a strong medicinal smell.
Replace the entry to enhance your sense of smell.
[Entry Position: Level 1 Sense of Smell Enhancement]
The entry then took effect.
Lin Zhou immediately smelled at least 212 kinds of herbs in the room, an astonishing number.
No wonder even the gang leader called it a troublesome matter.
"Boss."
"Boss."
When Peng Dashan entered the room, the two white-robed intermediate-level pharmacists at the table inside, both elderly men with white hair, bowed respectfully to him.
"Um."
Peng Dashan nodded in acknowledgment.
at this time.
The two old men who were intermediate-level pharmacists immediately turned their gazes to Lin Zhou behind Peng Dashan, looking at Lin Zhou's white pharmacist robe with two cloud patterns embroidered on the cuffs.
"Intermediate Pharmacist!"
The two white-haired, intermediate-level pharmacists felt a jolt in their hearts. After exchanging a glance, they both saw shock in each other's eyes.
Such a young intermediate pharmacist, where did the gang leader find such a talented young man?
"Come here, Pharmacist Lin."
"Take a look at this patient."
At this moment, Peng Dashan called Lin Zhou over.
Lin Zhou stepped forward, past Peng Dashan's broad back, and saw a gaunt middle-aged man bound to a wooden pillar a few steps away with iron chains.
The middle-aged man's hands and legs were covered in black hair, and his eyes were bloodshot. He was staring at Lin Zhou, who was walking up to him, with a ferocious expression, and he looked at Lin Zhou with a menacing look.
It emitted low growls and a foul, rotten smell emanated from its body.
Is this an illness?
When Lin Zhou first saw this 'patient' covered in black hair and with bloodshot eyes, his heart skipped a beat.
Such a strange disease has never been recorded in medical books.
"It smells terrible, like something rotten."
"This guy's skin, and even his internal organs, are already emitting a putrid smell. The fact that he's still alive like this can't even be called an illness."
At this moment, Lin Zhou, who was equipped with the olfactory enhancement attribute, was able to clearly smell the various scents on this person.
Simultaneously.
They also smelled a strange odor slowly moving from the person's disheveled neck, an odor completely different from the man's own scent.
"Boss, may I borrow a short sword?"
A determined look flashed in Lin Zhou's eyes; he had to give it a try.
If it works, it would explain why this guy is acting like a walking corpse.
"it is good."
Peng Dashan's eyes lit up, which meant that this seventeen-year-old pharmacist Lin might really have a solution.
As soon as he finished speaking, Peng Dashan took out a sharp short knife from a cabinet a few steps away. The knife was slightly curved, like a crescent moon, and the blade was bright and smooth, appearing to be very sharp.
After taking the short knife, Lin Zhou looked up at the black-haired monster who was bound by iron chains, his eyes sharply fixed on the strange, moving smell at the other's neck.
