"who's lucky to marry who?" Yang Yue asked.
Zheng and Li were startled by the sudden appearance of Yang Yue.
"Ah… Zheng and i were talking about my friend."
"Li? I need to get some pills and spirit stone from the market, will you show me around." Zheng asked Li.
"follow me." Said Li.
"Wait! I'll also go, I have some things to do." said Yang Yue.
Zheng, Yang Yue and Li entered the famous market in lone state, where one can get anything as long as he has enough money. As they ventured deeper into the market, they came across the best pills and herb selling place.
"Welcome to Azure Herb Pavilion." An elder greeted them as soon as they stepped inside the building. "How can I help you?"
"Can you show us burning soul pill?" Zheng asked the elder behind the desk as he glance around the store.
Yang Yue and Li was stunned to hear what Zheng was looking for.
"Burning soul pill?" elder wanted to confirm as it was one of rare pills, that costs a fortune. For Zheng who was once at immortal realm, the pill was everything but rare.
"Yes, the burning soul pill." Said Zheng.
Elder behind the desk presented a round and smooth pill with reddish color, no larger than the size of a pea and named its price. "This is our best burning soul pill refined by the one of the best alchemists in Lone State and it cost 2000 cold coin."
[one cold coin= 100 silver coins.
One silver coin= 100 copper coin.]
"2000 gold coin?" Li screamed as he heard the price for the pill.
"Yes Sir," Elder said with clam expression. "The time required to refine the burning soul pill is over a month and the resource are hard to find."
Zheng stared at the pill and realized that the so called best burning pill isn't as good as they claim to be but he knew that he can refine it a little more and it will become top quality burning soul pill.
"it's too expensive," Yang Yue whispered into Zheng's ear. "what are you going to do?"
"So, do you want it?" the elder showing the pill asked. He could guess that Zheng was desperate for the burning soul pill and might make a purchase.
"I'll take it but give me some time to gather the money." Zheng confidently claimed that he'll purchase the pill in weeks' time.
"How will you manage to earn in short time?" Li asked as he was clueless about how to earn large sum in short time period.
Zheng didn't answer immediately but smiled at Li.
After leaving the Azure Herb Pavilion, Zheng asked Yang Yue as a favor to find a place where patients can assess him easily so that he can treat them.
After Yang Yue found the place, Zheng puts up the sign at the entrance of the building.
"Zheng's Healing hall, Treat your illness." Li reads the sign on the board.
"Li, can you go and find these herbs." Zheng hands a list and few coins to him. "And make it quick."
"Zheng's Healing Hall? Who is Zheng?"
"Never heard of him before."
"He might be scamming others."
The crowd who pass through Zheng's hall spoke to each other.
Zheng didn't pay any mind to those word but Yang Yue was clearly didn't like those words.
"Once Zheng become popular, you just wait I'll charge you double." Yang Yue stood at the gate, gazing at those people.
After opening the Zheng's Healing Hall, they couldn't even get a single patient for hour and hours.
Ahh… all this trouble for this mere burning soul pill. If I had the resource I cold refine such pill within a day. But as the elder in Azure Herb Pavilion said resource are hard to find in this mortal realm, especially blue spider lily. Zheng thought as he waited for a patient to come.
Just they were becoming restless, an elderly man with long robe embroidered with dragon walks along his servant into the Zheng's healing.
"Greeting Master Ping of Golden Dragon Clan." Yang Yue and Li welcomed the Master Ping as soon as they saw him. Golden Dragon Clan was one of four prestige clan of Lone State.
"Yang Yue of Soaring Sea Sect," Master Ping recognized Yang Yue as she greeted him. "So, is this your healing hall."
"No, Master." Yang Yue politely corrected Master Ping. "This Zheng's Healing Hall is owned by my friend, Zheng."
"Zheng??" Master Ping gazed toward Zheng. "He's too young to be a Physician, isn't he a scammer?"
"He's young but…" Yang Yue without any hesitation said. "but I vouch for with my life."
As Yang Yue and Master Ping were having conversation, Zheng casually walked up to Master Ping, carefully looked all over Master Ping's body and said. "Recently have you been feeling sharp pain in the vein?"
"H-How did you know?" Master Zheng asked. "other than our family physician, no one know not even my own son."
"I didn't actually know for sure," Zheng said confidently. "I could feel your Qi has weaken."
"What do you mean?" asked Master Ping.
"Weaken Qi, sharp pain in vein." Zheng answered calmly. "It's spirit vein weakening, if not treated you'll die."
"how can I be saved?" said Master Ping. "Even my physician suggested that it might be spirit vein weakening."
"You just need to treated with heavenly meridian Acupuncture." Said Zheng.
"But Master, I heard Heavenly Meridian Acupuncture needs extreme precision." Said Master Ping's servant. "Even a small mistake can kill someone."
"Can you perform Heavenly Meridian Acupuncture?" Master Ping asked Zheng.
Without giving any answers, Zheng laid Master Ping on the bed inside Zheng's Healing Hall and with exact precision and skills, Zheng performs Heavenly Meridian Acupuncture for hours.
After performing the acupuncture, Zheng asked. "Now, how do you feel Master Ping?"
"Th-The pain in my vein is gone and I feel strong as before." Said Master Ping. "Does that mean I'm cured?"
"Yes, for now." Zheng answered. "You cannot practice for a week and have to medicine I prescribe for a week too. After that you'll be fully cured."
"Thank You, Young Master Zheng." Said master Ping with gratitude and rewarded Zheng with a pouch full of gold coin and leaves. "I'll recommend you to other clan I know."
After Master Ping left, they counted the gold coin up to 500.
"1500 more to go." Zheng said with a smile.
