Many Sons, Many Blessings, I Spread Branches And Leaves In The Sect

Pushing aside the thatched cottage, inside the cottage, an elderly man with white hair was lying on a bed, coughing incessantly and appearing very weak.

He saw Su Chen enter.

He was puzzled, but when the old man saw the unconscious little girl in Su Chen's arms,

His expression suddenly changed.

He struggled to sit up, preparing to stand up, but was stopped by Su Chen.

"Old man, don't get excited for now. I have temporarily stabilized the girl's pulse with a healing pill."

"You are an alchemist?"

The old man was somewhat surprised.

Su Chen nodded.

He placed the little girl on the bed.

Then, he took out another healing pill from the spirit realm and handed it to the old man to take.

The old man's condition was much better compared to the girl's.

However, both the old man and the little girl were very weak, and their situations were not optimistic.

The old man was stunned.

This healing pill in front of him was at least a fifth-grade pill in terms of quality, a type of pill that was worth a fortune on the market.

Su Chen walked to the side and then summoned a pill furnace from the spirit realm.

Su Chen hadn't practiced medicine for a long time.

This time, Su Chen had to take action.

The day Su Chen became an alchemist, Bai Weiwei specifically reminded Su Chen.

An alchemist cannot save all the patients in the world, but when encountering a patient, they must not refrain from treating them.

Each patient saved would accumulate an opportunity, which would greatly benefit the alchemist's cultivation.

Su Chen took out the medicinal materials from the spirit realm and began refining the healing pill. Although the healing pill was not as difficult to refine as the Qi Gathering Pill, it had high requirements for the medicinal materials.

Su Chen summoned Tongtong to assist him in refining the medicine.

Tongtong blinked her big eyes and asked, "Su Chen, why did you suddenly think of refining medicine?"

"I encountered a patient and had to save them."

Tongtong nodded. She circled around the pill furnace, converting the medicinal materials into energy.

For an ordinary alchemist, it would take at least half a day to refine a fifth-grade healing pill. However, with Tongtong's assistance, Su Chen could greatly shorten the process of refining medicine.

This was the purpose of the existence of a medicine refining spirit.

The little girl's condition couldn't be delayed.

Su Chen guided the energy into the pill furnace.

Then, he began guiding the medicinal effects into the pill.

Unconsciously, the old man had already come behind Su Chen.

Su Chen was slightly surprised. The old man was also an elderly person, and his body was not much stronger than the little girl's. However, Su Chen only gave him a healing pill, and the old man was able to stand up on his own.

Su Chen secretly estimated that when this old man was young, he was definitely not an ordinary person.

From the old man's attitude when Su Chen entered the room, Su Chen knew that the old man definitely had some understanding of alchemists.

While refining the medicine, Su Chen spoke without turning his head, "Old man, the condition of you and your granddaughter doesn't seem like an ordinary illness."

The old man was slightly stunned, then sighed.

"This illness is a common disease among the people in this village. That's why disciples from the Medicine Peak come down the mountain every year to treat it. However, even the people from the Medicine Sect cannot cure this illness."

"Originally, this illness should have occurred two months later, but for some reason, my granddaughter and I fell ill in advance. Now that there are no alchemists in the village, the situation has become like this."

Su Chen understood in his heart.

There was no difference between what the old beggar at the village entrance said.

No wonder disciples from the Medicine Sect come down the mountain every year to treat people here.

The old man watched as Su Chen refined medicine, feeling somewhat surprised.

Su Chen's technique was very skilled, definitely not the level that an ordinary alchemist could display.

The old man couldn't help but feel a bit delighted.

If the young man in front of him was truly a highly skilled alchemist, then he and his granddaughter would be saved.

Su Chen focused on refining medicine, but Tong Tong suddenly approached him.

She whispered, "Su Chen, this old man is a master of poison. His meridians are filled with toxins. He must have been a poison expert when he was young!"

Su Chen was slightly surprised, but he didn't show it on his face.

Poison masters are different from alchemists. Poison masters specialize in studying poisons and are not good at alchemy, and sometimes they are completely ignorant of it. However, they have a deep understanding of medicinal herbs, especially when it comes to toxins.

These kinds of people often become despised poison masters in the eyes of the world.

The reputation of poison masters is very poor. Many prestigious families hire poison masters for assassinations. A highly skilled poison master can make a poisoned person appear to have died from a sudden illness.

It often takes several years after the death to discover the truth.

Su Chen became a little more cautious in his heart.

Soon, the healing pill was refined. With Tong Tong's help and Su Chen's exquisite skills, the quality of this healing pill reached the Triple Profound Stage.

Although it was not as high in quality as the previous healing pill, it was enough to sustain the little girl's life.

Su Chen handed the seven healing pills he had refined to the old man.

The old man's face was full of shock.

"Is it already refined?" he asked.

Su Chen nodded.

The old man took the healing pills and turned to give them to the little girl.

The healing pill was very powerful, and healing pills above the Profound Stage even had the effect of prolonging life. These seven healing pills would be enough to sustain the little girl and the old man for two months.

The old man gave the healing pills to the little girl, and her complexion immediately became rosy. Although she hadn't awakened yet, her body had basically recovered.

Su Chen looked at the little girl and frowned.

Sure enough, there were traces of poison on her body.

It seemed that Tong Tong was right. The old man in front of him was definitely a poison master.

The old man turned his head and smiled, "Thank you, young man. I will never forget your kindness. Since you are an alchemist, I happen to have some medicinal herbs in my collection. Consider it a token of gratitude."

The old man said as he walked into the room.

Then, a faint glow emanated from the room.

The old man held a medicinal herb in his hand, and at the top of the herb was a dried insect.

The insect was translucent and emitted a faint glow.

Cordyceps!

Cordyceps itself is a highly valued medicinal herb, and the conditions for its formation are also very harsh. A single ordinary cordyceps can fetch a price of a thousand gold on the market.

And this cordyceps, which emits a glow due to accumulated spiritual energy, definitely reached the quality of a Five-Star Profound Stage.

If this medicinal herb is slightly utilized, it can be used as a material for refining Earth-Grade medicine.

The old man smiled.

"Taking into account the value of the medicinal herbs you used, the remaining value will be considered as your consultation fee."
