Chapter 14: Chapter 12: Genius Dan Medical Practitioner!_1
With both sides harboring their own thoughts, they quickly took their seats.
"Yang Chen, my friend, please sit." Li Youyan said with a smile.
Yang Chen calmly replied, "Elders, please sit down. As a junior, I dare not sit on an equal footing with the two of you."
In the Martial World, one respects the powerful and maintains proper order between the old and the young. This is a matter of principle. Moreover, Li Youyan and the other elder, whether in terms of age or strength, were stronger and more experienced than him in both his previous and present life. He must adhere to these rules, otherwise, he would be taken lightly.
Seeing Yang Chen understanding the bigger picture, Li Youyan laughed heartily, "Good, good, Yang Chen, my friend, the more I get to know you, the more I like you. Hearing from those who pursued Feng Xuewu, they said that you used to be very weak, but I can't see any weakness in you at all."
It should be noted that young men who could face his imposing aura so calmly were few and far between. Combined with Yang Chen's humble attitude and his respectful treatment of the elders, it was even more endearing.
What a pity that this young man was not a member of his Li Family.
"Senior, everyone makes mistakes. I did make mistakes in the past, but I always think that temporary success or failure cannot become my Heart Demon." Yang Chen said with a bow.
"Hmm, it seems that you were really defeated by the Wang Family. However, you are right, what can be counted as temporary success or failure?" Li Youyan stroked his beard, making no attempt to conceal the admiration in his eyes.
Yang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the two elders had no ill intentions towards him, perhaps they didn't. Why would they go out of their way to cause trouble for him?
Li Youyan quickly came straight to the point, "I heard that you wanted to do business with our chamber of commerce just now, and I'm very curious, what kind of business do you want to do with us?"
Yang Chen was stunned and then laughed. Indeed, he had the idea of doing business with the Li Family Commerce Group, but he did not hold much hope. He just didn't expect that these two would really take the matter seriously.
With thoughts in his mind, Yang Chen said, "Elders, there is no need to hurry about this business matter. We can discuss it later. First, please tell me what is the matter that brings you to me today. So I can stop feeling uneasy."
"Haha, you kid." Li Youyan said amicably, "Since you've asked, I'll get to the point as a senior. We saw your performance outside just now, and the two of us old fellows have been closely watching you. Yang Chen, are you a Pill Doctor?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen's heart pulsed, and he suddenly realized the truth.
It seemed that his identity as a Pill Doctor had been exposed after all, at least these two Li Family elders happened to catch sight of his masterpiece today.
These two eagerly 'inviting' him in was not surprising. After all, the identity of a Pill Doctor was truly shocking. It was rare to see one in the outside world.
"The three Spirit Medicines I concocted today might have been a fluke. How can the seniors be so sure that I'm a Pill Doctor?" Yang Chen asked curiously, "After all, there isn't a single Pill Doctor in the entire Great Wild Hundred Clans."
The two Li Family elders exchanged glances and Li Youyan said, "To be honest, we both had our doubts. But there are no absolutes in anything. What if you, Yang Chen, really are a Pill Doctor? Now, we invite you here to ask you for your answer."
Yang Chen couldn't help but smile inwardly.
If he were to deny that he was a Pill Doctor today, wouldn't that be like shooting himself in the foot when it came to Feng Xuewu's mother?
So, he did not lie but straightforwardly said, "This matter is indeed related to my identity as a Pill Doctor, and I hope the seniors can help me keep this secret. In fact, one of the reasons I want to do business with the seniors is related to my identity as a Pill Doctor."
"Oh? So you, Yang Chen, admit that you are a Pill Doctor?" Li Youyan was excited.
Yang Chen rubbed his chin and said lightly, "That's correct. A year ago, I came across an old and damaged book. It recorded the Pill Doctor's technique. I believe it must be something left behind by an ancient Pill Doctor in the Great Wilderness. I was fortunate enough to obtain it, and after studying it, I became infatuated with the Pill Doctor's Way. However, this one year took its toll, and I lost my Alchemy completely, which is why the tragedy of losing to the Wang Family happened!"
Yang Chen naturally concocted this story on the spot.
This rhetoric was full of convincing power, making it difficult for anyone to doubt it.
Moreover, once he revealed his identity as a Pill Doctor, his confidence in his conversation with the two elders improved. After all, in their eyes, he was the Yang Family's treasure as a Pill Doctor. If they dared to do something to him, wouldn't the Yang Family have a life and death struggle with the Li Family?How would they know that even the Yang family members were unaware of Yang Chen's knowledge of the Pill Doctor's Way?
"Oh? Is this true, that there is such a good thing?" Li Youyan was astonished.
An introductory technique for a Pill Doctor would be a significant matter for the Great Wild Hundred Clans.
Seeing Li Youyan's shock, Yang Chen quickly said, "Today I came to the Li Family Commerce Group, intending to do business related to this Pill Doctor's Introductory Technique."
Hearing this, Li Youyan could hardly wait to grab Yang Chen's hands. The surprises Yang Chen brought him were wave after wave, an introductory technique for a Pill Doctor? It would be an invaluable treasure for the remote locations of the Great Wild Hundred Clans where there wasn't a single Pill Doctor.
And Yang Chen was willing to use such a thing to do business with them?
Li Youyan tried hard to suppress his excitement, but his companion beside him obviously lacked the experience, his eyes beaming, already showing his desire for the Pill Doctor's Introductory Technique.
Yang Chen was amused in his heart and guessed the two's strong desire for the Pill Doctor's Way. In fact, he did intend to use the Pill Doctor's Introductory Technique to exchange for some resources he wanted. After all, where there were Pill Doctors, they were born to heal and save people. There were no Pill Doctors within the Great Wild Hundred Clans, so his deed could be considered a good one for the Hundred Clans.
Of course, the Pill Doctor's Way was difficult to master. He dared to sell it, but if one really wanted to learn the Pill Doctor's Way from this, it would be impossible to get started without ten or eight years.
"Is this what you really mean, young friend Yang Chen?" The shocking waves in Li Youyan's heart: "If Yang Chen, my friend, is truly willing to share this Pill Doctor's Way with our Li family, the Li Family Commerce Group will definitely express their gratitude, and we will not be stingy with Spirit Stones and other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."
Yang Chen was waiting for Li Youyan's words, and then spoke: "With these words from senior Li, I feel reassured."
"But I don't know about this Pill Doctor's Way..." Li Youyan became hesitant to speak.
Yang Chen smiled lightly and then said, "This Pill Doctor's Introductory Technique is quite obscure. After I learned it, the elders in my family instructed me to burn it, so the Introductory Technique is recorded in my mind. If the two seniors want it, just prepare a Blank Jade Slip for me to help you record it."
Li Youyan didn't dare to be careless about this matter and quickly found a Blank Jade Slip to give to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen took the Jade Slip, pulled out a brush, and wrote on it.
What Pill Doctor's Introductory Technique? It was naturally fabricated by him.
If he really wanted to sell the Pill Doctor's Introductory Technique, he would draw from his own Pill Doctor experience. His vast knowledge was more precious than any other Pill Doctor technique in the world!
With his Pill Doctor experience, fooling these people from the Great Wild was an easy task, right?
Yang Chen casually wrote dozens of lines of large characters containing basic knowledge of Pill Doctors. Although these things were incomplete, they were not completely useless. At least, it allowed the Li family members to understand some of the Pill Doctor's entrance methods, which was indeed feasible. However, it was difficult for them to learn the Pill Doctor's Way from it without ten or eight years.
This was not because Yang Chen was stingy. His art of Pill Doctor experience can really guide people into the Pill Doctor's Way, but how can one learn to be a Pill Doctor without some talent? Even if there are not many Pill Doctors in the entire North Mountain County, it is not because there are no Pill Doctor learning methods, but because of talent.
In this world, Alchemy is easy to learn, but the Pill Doctor's Way is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
"Please have a look, seniors!" Yang Chen spoke calmly.
Li Youyan couldn't wait to grab the Jade Slip, his eyes gradually brightening, extremely delighted with what Yang Chen had described.
"I have been to the Great Wilderness and seen a Pill Doctor healing people, and I had the good fortune to hear him talk about some Pill Doctor basics. What young friend Yang Chen said, is not too different. It is unexpected that Yang Chen has the talent of a Pill Doctor and has reached the level of healing people in just one year. It is truly rare." Li Youyan's eyes revealed his amazement.
He knew that he had to become friends with Yang Chen.
The Pill Doctor's Way was indeed precious, but a ready-made Pill Doctor was even more precious.
With his extensive experience, he knew very clearly that learning this Pill Doctor's Way would be very, very difficult.
To be able to learn the Pill Doctor's Way, the word "genius" alone could not describe the other party.
