AST 1494 - Opening, 200 million sun worth of strength, Xiyue Clan

Only after a long time did Tianyi awaken from his daze . He stared at Qing Shui with resolution in his eyes as he smiled, “Great kindness has no need for words of thanks . I know what I should do . ”

“Your medical techniques are still passable, as is your cultivation base . You are from Linhai City, right? Is there anyway for you to find some doctors with passable medical skills? Don’t worry . The remuneration won’t be bad . ” Qing Shui smiled .  

“Don’t worry . I will definitely accomplish this for you within three days . ” Tianyi spoke seriously .

    ……

With Tianyi being a local, things were much easier to do . But the opening of the clinic still needed some time . Qing Shui would first start to prepare the things he needed first .

Three days later, Tianyi found over twenty doctors, and their standards weren’t bad . But of course, it depended on who they were compared to . There were also three more whose medical skills were roughly at the same level of Tianyi . One must know that Tianyi’s medical skill was already considered to be extremely good .

Qing Shui was very satisfied . Usually, just Tianyi and the three other doctors were enough to hold the fort . As for Qing Shui and Ling Fei, there was no need for them to personally act .

The remuneration Qing Shui gave them was a little strange . They had a choice of money, medicine or medical herbs, and they could choose what they wanted themselves . The profits here would be split 50% between them and Qing Shui but if they chose money, they could keep 100% of their earnings . For those who chose medicine or medical herbs, what they would keep would depend on the situation and the value of the items themselves .

These doctors also had cultivations . If a doctor had no cultivation, his medical skills would be limited . All these people had a cultivation level of at least the Martial King realm .

In this world, ordinary people were still the vast majority . Usually, the number of people would be lesser at each higher realm of cultivation .

But in any case, there were still many medical clinics to serve everyone . Reputation needed to be accrued gradually, and Qing Shui also didn’t plan to make his clinic very popular . He was experiencing life and was trying to do so with a state of relaxation .

For the name, Qing Shui eventually still decided on the Imperial Cuisine Hall . For the portion of medical cuisine, Qing Shui only allowed Xue Nuo and Ying Tong to handle this, while he himself and Ling Fei would handle things at the clinic .

The medicinal cuisine could be considered simpler, as it only needed manual labor . The amount they sold wouldn’t be a lot, and they had no deliveries . People could only come here if they wanted to eat .

But regarding these, Qing Shui was still filled with confidence . He wanted to accumulate popularity and try to discover some specific people . Who knows, he might be able to gain an unexpected harvest from meeting them .

Ying Tong and Ling Fei spent the majority of their time daily in cultivation . They would take a day out of their schedule every week to cure some diseases that were more serious in nature . Also, there was still Qing Shui . Qing Shui spent the time during the day in the Imperial Cuisine Hall . After all, with the Violet Jade Immortal Realm, the time he spent during the day was nothing when one considered the time ratio in the realm .

A week later, the Imperial Cuisine Hall opened for business . Qing Shui didn’t inform any one and the amount of people coming in couldn’t be considered a lot . Those from the Hua Clan also didn’t show up to support him . Maybe if it was in the past, he would feel unhappy . But now, he truly didn’t feel anything at all .

In the future, he believed that the Hua Clan would need him . At that time, he need not give them any face at all .  

For the first day, the services here were free, including free consultation, free medication and free food . There were even many valuable ingredients used . This could be considered to be a perfect conclusion of the opening of this Imperial Cuisine Hall .

The promotion of free consultation and treatment only lasted for one day due to the opening . The jade buns were served as the last dish, allowing these people to enjoy their food . Many of them were ordinary people and they also knew they wouldn’t have any chance to come here again in the future . However, Qing Shui gave them a token each and that token would allow them to claim up to two jade buns daily for free if they came here .

Qing Shui did so because there weren’t many people and many of them were just ordinary commoners . During the second day, when the price the jade buns sold for were revealed, many people had unimaginable expressions on their faces . They could claim up to two jade buns per day and if they sold them both, the income generated would allow their families to live for a month! Naturally, this was based on the spending scale of an ordinary commoner’s family lifestyle .

Qing Shui had also clearly stated that they were allowed to do this . For safety, the system for identifying users had to be set up . If one needed money, they could exchange for it everyday . This can be considered a safety to their lifestyle .

As for the jade buns, Qing Shui wasn’t afraid that nobody would buy them . In any case, he didn’t care for that bit of money in exchange for using these people as free live advertisement instead .

When business started, Qing Shui made the fragrance here permeate the atmosphere for a span of thousand metres . Instantly, many people were attracted . There were no lack of poor people in this world and there were also no lack of rich people . Wealthy people here were much more numerous compared to his old world and because they didn’t lack resources, many families all had savings . They weren’t poor, but rather it was just a matter of how much they had .

This time, the Imperial Cuisine Hall actually caused a great commotion . In addition to the free publicity of the first day, everyone soon knew that this place had many kind doctors with good hearts .

Humans were animals that depended on vision and hearing . If one person praised it, there was nothing much for it . But if many people said the same thing, it would surely influence others . Qing Shui set his price to be low, because he didn’t really plan to charge the poor . But for the wealthy people seeking his services, they might need to pay up to ten times the price .

Qing Shui didn’t hate the rich . It's just that he didn’t feel at ease earning money from ordinary and poor people . There were no merchants who weren’t crafty . Even if Qing Shui was crafty, the money he made had to come from the rich . At the very least, most wealthy people were crafty in their own rights as well .

The reputation of the Imperial Cuisine Hall was boosted by their medical skills and slogan of maintaining one’s health . The things they produced, such as longevity noodles and some wines, could increase one’s lifespan and cultivation base . Not even a month had passed before news of this already circulated around the entire Linhai City . Even from beyond the city, there were many who came from other places .

In about a month’s time, Qing Shui’s Six-Yang Pills had almost finished . His raw strength reached slightly more than five thousand sun . Earlier when he had connected the ninth heavenly meridians, his raw strength had already reached four thousand sun . Now, with his current raw strength plus all his augmentations, his power reached roughly around two hundred million sun .

To Qing Shui, two hundred million sun worth of strength was already extremely terrifying . After all, he was different than most people . His current defence, including all his augmentations, had already surpassed a hundred twenty million sun . In addition, Qing Shui was also skilled in weakening debuff techniques .

Even if this place was the Ice Domain Dynasty, Qing Shui could be considered to have enough ‘capital’ now . The Paragon Strike could reach six hundred million sun worth of power . In addition to his battle god halo and other sources of augmentation, the power erupted forth would be only more terrifying .

Qing Shui no longer considered these things . The Six-Yang Pills might not be as useful to him in the future, but he could still leave some for the people around him . If he could find some higher-graded medicinal pills, that would naturally be for the best .

The Seven-Colored Pellet and the Paragon didn’t receive many upgrades, but Qing Shui was already satisfied . Only with strength would he be able to protect those close to him; strength was the most important . Right now, his strength had reached a certain level that was comparable to false gods .

In a month’s time, the influence generated by the Imperial Cuisine Hall was simply overwhelming . Jjust when Qing Shui was researching some heavenly talisman, Xue Nuo walked in .

Xue Nuo was clad in white and she had become an unique existence in the Imperial Cuisine Hall . Many young men in the Linhai City wanted to pursue her but she didn’t really take a fancy to any of their caliber . If not, she wouldn’t have left the Great Xia Dynasty .

Other than cold arrogance, she had a certain charm to her, causing her aura to attract others . There were many young geniuses in Linhai City who wanted to get close to this woman .

“Brother-in-law . That old man from the Xiyue Clan is here again . ”

Now, Xue Nuo started to refer to Qing Shui as her brother in law, and she was much more respectful to him compared to before . Qing Shui didn’t reject this as well . In any case, it was impossible for the love between man and woman to blossom between her and Qing Shui .

Yiye Jiange was her great benefactor . Subconsciously, she had already eliminated the possibility of something happening between her and Qing Shui . Because, if that happened, she would feel guilt towards Yiye Jiange .

“This is already the third time . He can be considered sincere . I will go out and meet with him . ” Qing Shui smiled and walked out of the room .

The Xiyue Clan could be considered a great clan in the Linhai City, stronger than the Hua Clan . It was only that they were more low profile . Also, although the population of the Xiyue Clan wasn’t that high, everyone of them was an expert .

“Mister Qing, you are finally here . ” Xiyue Kun hurriedly stood up and walked towards Qing Shui when he saw him .

This old man didn’t seem to be very old . He wasn’t very sturdy but gave off a feeling like the essence of iron, exuding sharpness .

“Sir, might I know why you came here?” Qing Shui smiled and greeted him, signalling for the old man to take a seat .

“I wish to seek out a doctor’s help to cure an illness . Naturally, our Xiyue Clan won’t be stingy with rewarding your efforts . ” The old man seriously spoke .

“Let me hear about the situation . Who is it that needs to be cured, and what is his or her symptoms?”

Since Qing Shui spoke like this, it meant that he had agreed to help . The old man happily replied, “It is the son of my elder brother . He was beaten by someone until his spinal cord shattered . A few of his meridians were broken and his inner organs were seriously damaged . ”

Qing Shui frowned . For those who dared to beat up people from the Xiyue Clan, would he be offending a major power if he cured the patient? These were all things that needed to be considered .

“Mister, please rest at ease . The assailant has already been settled by the forces of my Xiyue Clan . ” That old man understood the ways of the world as he hurriedly added .

“Okay, I suppose I can go and take a look . I can’t guarantee that I will be able to cure him though . ” Qing Shui smiled .

“As long as it’s mister who acts personally, everything will be fine . If even your esteemed self can’t cure him, it means that he is fated to be a cripple in this life . My Xiyue Clan will still reward you heavily to thank you for the effort . ” Xiyue Kun seriously stated .

For great clans, their words would always sound beautiful and nice to hear . However, Qing Shui didn’t know how the Xiyue Clan would repay him . But no matter what, they wouldn’t make a fool out of him, and the rewards would certainly be greater than he imagined .
