Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 224: Share the Benefits
Yuchi Zhenjin watched Huang Sixi enter the pharmacy, but did not follow the crowd to watch the fun.

He summoned the subordinate who had just examined the old woman and asked, "Kuang Zhao, before Doctor Huang treated the old woman, were you sure that she was really dead?"

His eyes were as sharp as a sword. Although he came from a military family like Master Kuiji, he was more capable and meticulous than Master Kuiji.

The subordinate Kuang Zhao hurriedly reported: "Sir, I can guarantee that the old woman just now has completely died and has no pulse. Doctor Huang is indeed a miracle worker!"

Yuchi Zhenjin still looked incredulous. He turned his head to look at Master Kuiji and said with a smile, "Seventh Uncle, is Doctor Huang's medical skills really that amazing? He can actually bring the dead back to life?"

Master Kuiji had only known Huang Sixi for a month or so, and had never personally witnessed Huang Sixi's medical skills, so how could he know the level of Huang Sixi's skills? But he worshipped Master Sanzang as a god.

Master Sanzang personally appointed Huang Sixi to practice medicine in the capital and accepted Huang Sixi as his last disciple. If Huang Sixi's medical skills were not good enough, it would only ruin Master Sanzang's reputation.

Therefore, Master Kuiji believed that when Master Tripitaka asked Huang Sixi to practice medicine, he must have been certain that Huang Sixi's medical skills were superb and far superior to those of the doctors in Shendu.

He said to Yuchi Zhenjin: "My junior brother Huang has a great affinity with Buddha. His medical skills are absolutely superb and he can cure any disease with ease!"

He pointed to the main entrance of the pharmacy and said, "If Junior Brother Huang's medical skills are not up to par, I won't have to ask the clan to give this expensive house to Junior Brother Huang to use for medical practice."

Yuchi Zhenjin smiled and said, "Doctor Huang has such advanced medical skills, why didn't he save Master Sanzang?"

Master Kuiji's face suddenly turned serious, and he said angrily: "Master had a premonition of death several months ago, and said that he would return to the Buddha's kingdom. His life span has come to an end, and he died of natural causes. How can you ask Junior Brother Huang to save him!"

If Yuchi Zhenjin had not been the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple and was surrounded by subordinates, Master Kuiji would have surely punched him. He respected Master Tripitaka the most, but Yuchi Zhenjin had always looked down on Buddhist monks.

When Yuchi Zhenjin saw that Master Kuiji was angry, he was also afraid that Master Kuiji would lecture him regardless of the occasion, so he quickly laughed and changed the subject.

Yuchi Zhenjin pointed at the subordinate who had just examined the old woman and ordered, "Kuang Zhao, take someone to Zhou Qian's house immediately, carry Zhou Qian to the pharmacy, and ask Dr. Huang to treat him!"

Kuang Zhao's eyes lit up, revealing a look of joy: "Even the imperial doctors in the palace are helpless to treat Brother Zhou's injury, but Divine Doctor Huang may have a way. I will go find Brother Zhou right away!"

After saying this, he led several colleagues to hurriedly carry the person away.

Master Kuiji asked in confusion: "That Zhou Qian is your subordinate, right? What kind of injury did he suffer from?"

Yuchi Zhenjin sighed slightly, "Two years ago, I was ordered to investigate the case of the salt smugglers. I sent Zhou Qian to investigate the salt smugglers' lair, but he was ambushed by the criminals and his cervical vertebrae were injured. Except for being able to open his mouth to eat, his limbs are unable to move. I invited the imperial physician Wang Pu to treat him, but he was unable to cure him. He is still paralyzed in bed and looks like a useless person."

Master Kuiji was very familiar with the imperial physician Wang Pu, a miracle doctor who specialized in treating the royal family of the Tang Dynasty. It was rumored that Wang Pu was proficient in the ancient magical skills of scraping bones to treat poison and opening the skull and chest, and was called the reincarnation of Hua Tuo by his peers in the medical field.

What is even more bizarre is that there are rumors that Wang Pu can reconnect severed arms. It is not known whether it is true or not, but Wang Pu's medical skills are rare in contemporary times and can be called the best in the capital.

If Wang Pu couldn't cure Zhou Qian's paralysis, other doctors would be even less able to do so.

Master Kuiji suddenly lost his confidence, thinking that Zhou Qian was injured the year before last and had been paralyzed for at least a year and a half, and was completely paralyzed. Is there any way Huang Sixi can cure such a stubborn disease?
But Master Kuiji had already boasted. He had just said that Huang Sixi's medical skills were superb and he could cure any disease with ease. Naturally, he would not stop Huang Sixi from treating Zhou Qian, otherwise he would be slapping himself in the face.

He accompanied Yuchi Zhenjin and waited outside the pharmacy.

About half an hour later, Kuang Zhao led people to carry Zhou Qian to the scene.

At this time, Huang Sixi had just finished treating the old woman. The old woman and her son thanked Huang Sixi profusely and left the pharmacy. The people who came to watch the fun also rushed out of the door.

Seeing that the pharmacy was empty, Yuchi Zhenjin immediately signaled his subordinates to carry Zhou Qian into the hall.

Who would have thought that after Yuchi Zhenjin, Master Kuiji and others entered the hall, the hundreds of people outside the door "whoosh!" and then left and came back.

The people of the Tang Dynasty were no different from the people of all dynasties in that they loved to watch the fun. When they saw Zhou Qian paralyzed in bed, they knew he must be seriously ill. It was also the first day of the Sixi Pharmacy's opening and there was no one to maintain order, so they followed suit and came to watch Huang Sixi's miraculous rejuvenation skills.

In the lobby.

Huang Sixi had already come to Zhou Qian's side. He asked the Dali Temple runners to put the stretcher on a long table.

He stood while examining Zhou Qian and taking his pulse. He saw Yuchi Zhenjin, Master Kuiji and more than a dozen Dali Temple runners standing nearby, and behind them was a dense crowd of people.

If he were to show off his skills now and let these people spread the word, then within a month or so, the fame of Sixi Pharmacy would spread throughout the capital.

Huang Sixi wanted to show off his medical skills in front of everyone, so he helped Zhou Qian up, pressed one palm on the back of Zhou Qian, and transported the Luo Luo Mo Qi into the "Ling Tai Point".

This Rama Qi moves up along the Lingtai Point, converges through the Du Channel and flows around the injured spine, and then is injected into the spine to warm it.

After a while, Zhou Qian raised his arms violently and became excited: "I can move my arms, oh my god, I...I..."

Seeing this, his colleagues at the Dali Temple were all happy for him and hurriedly asked, "Brother Zhou, can you move your legs?"

Zhou Qian subconsciously moved his legs, got off the long table, and stood firmly on the ground. His eyes turned red and he cried with joy: "I can walk now, I am no longer a cripple, I am no longer a useless person, woo woo..."

He was over forty years old, at the prime of his life, but at this moment he was crying like a child.

It's no wonder that anyone who has been bedridden for a year or two would be ecstatic if they could suddenly walk again.

However, Zhou Qian was too anxious. As soon as he stood on the ground, he wanted to escape and walked towards Yuchi Zhenjin and other colleagues.

As a result, he only took four or five steps before his body could no longer support him and he fell to the ground.

Colleagues rushed forward to help.
Yuchi Zhenjin looked at Huang Sixi and asked suspiciously, "Dr. Huang, what's going on?"

Huang Sixi said calmly: "The disease comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like a thread being pulled out. He has been paralyzed for more than a year. How can he recover in an instant?"

When everyone heard this, they all agreed that with Zhou Qian's serious illness, it would probably take at least a year and a half of treatment before he could move freely like a normal person.

Huang Sixi waved to the Dali Temple runners again: "Put him on the stretcher, I want to apply medicine to him!"

"Hurry up!"

The yamen runners all worked together and carried Zhou Qian onto the long table: "Hurry up and let Dr. Huang apply medicine to Brother Zhou!"

Huang Sixi took out a wooden box from his waist, opened the lid, and revealed a dark ointment.

As soon as the ointment appeared, it immediately emitted a fragrant and refreshing scent that filled the entire hall, attracting all the people in the hall, who all took a few steps forward, wanting to see the true appearance of the ointment.

Yuchi Zhenjin and Master Kuiji were also very curious, so they immediately moved and stood next to Huang Sixi.

"Junior Brother Huang, what kind of medicine is this?"

"This medicine is called Black Jade Ointment, and it has a miraculous effect on injuries to veins, tendons, and bones!"

Huang Sixi introduced the two people: "This official has a spinal injury, which is very difficult to treat. Not only do I have to use my medical skills to massage him internally, but I also need to use the Black Jade Ointment to apply externally. Only by using both methods can he fully recover!"

Yuchi Zhenjin asked politely: "May I ask Divine Doctor Huang how long it will take for the Zhou brothers to recover? If they recover, can they continue to work at the Dali Temple and capture bandits?"

Huang Sixi glanced at him and said, "The patients who have been cured by me will definitely not have any sequelae. As long as his spine is fully recovered, he will be full of energy and can practice martial arts in any way he wants!"

Yuchi Zhenjin hurriedly smiled: "That's good, that's good!"

Zhou Qian is a workaholic. No matter how dangerous the case is, he will always rush to the front at the risk of his life. As the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, Yuchi Zhenjin cannot do without subordinates like Zhou Qian, who can solve many problems for him.

Huang Sixi lowered his head again and said to Zhou Qian, who was lying on the stretcher: "You have only been paralyzed for more than a year. I can guarantee that you will recover in a month or so! Even if you have been paralyzed for ten or eight years, it will only take a year and a half at most. I can restore your body to its original state!"

Zhou Qian's eyes filled with tears: "Thank you, Dr. Huang!"

He was a rough man and didn't know how to express his gratitude. In his heart, he already regarded Huang Sixi as his second parent.

After Huang Sixi applied the ointment, he told the Dali Temple runners to send Zhou Qian home first, and then come to the pharmacy every seven days to change the medicine and have a follow-up visit. The runners saw beads of sweat on Huang Sixi's forehead, as if he had been treating him for too long and was overworked, so they did not rush to carry Zhou Qian away, but returned to the inner hall, brought a washbasin and a kettle, and showed great courtesy to Huang Sixi.

Most of them were low-level laborers who had to maintain the capital's law and order and arrest bandits all year round, so injuries were inevitable.

In the past, if they broke a leg or an arm, the consequences would be that they would be dismissed from the Dali Temple, at best they would lose their fighting power, at worst they would be paralyzed in bed.

Now with Huang Sixi, the divine doctor, even complete paralysis can be cured. This really gives them peace of mind. If they are injured on duty in the future, they don't have to worry anymore. They just need to go to Dr. Huang and their injuries will be cured.

At this point, Yuchi Zhenjin realized the true value of Huang Sixi. He secretly admired Master Kuiji for using the pharmacy deed to win over Huang Sixi, which was definitely a foresighted move!
After the Dali Temple runners sent Zhou Qian away, Yuchi Zhenjin ordered his subordinates to disperse the people and close the door of the pharmacy.

Currently, there are only three people left in the lobby: Huang Sixi, Yuchi Zhenjin and Master Kuiji.

Yuchi Zhenjin humbly asked for advice: "Dr. Huang, your 'Black Jade Ointment' can heal physical disabilities. Such a miraculous medicine must be very valuable, right?"

Huang Sixi said: "It is not easy to refine this ointment. The medicinal materials needed are extremely precious. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is priceless!"

Yuchi Zhenjin asked again: "After Huang Shenyi's pharmacy opens, how much will the 'Black Jade Ointment' cost?"

Huang Sixi hesitated for a moment before saying, "You can't generalize! The people of the Tang Dynasty are rich and poor. The poor can't even afford a few copper coins, while the rich can easily spend thousands of gold. I opened a clinic on the orders of Master Sanzang to benefit the people of the world. I won't refuse to treat poor people just because they can't pay!"

After a pause, he finally stated: "When the pharmacy opens in the future, if the rich come to buy the 'Black Jade Ointment', I will offer a very high price. If the poor come to use the medicine, I will naturally offer a low price. It doesn't matter even if I give it away for free!"

Of course, he would never sell the "Black Jade Ointment" in retail. The patient must come to the pharmacy in person and he would apply the medicine in person.

When the nobles of the Tang Dynasty came to apply medicine, he charged higher fees, and when ordinary people came, he charged lower fees.

This can ensure that the 'Black Jade Paste' will not flow out at a low price.

After hearing this profound talk, Yuchi Zhenjin immediately bowed and said, "Dr. Huang is not only proficient in medical skills, but also has a kind heart. He is worthy of being Master Sanzang's last disciple!"

Master Kuiji standing by also felt very honored. Huang Sixi had really brought him great honor today.

However, Yuchi Zhenjin's question about the value of the 'Black Jade Ointment' was not aimless. He asked, "Excuse me, Doctor Huang, have you gathered all the herbs for refining the 'Black Jade Ointment'?"

Huang Sixi shook his head: "These are all precious medicinal materials. My clinic has just opened, and I am afraid I won't be able to gather them all in the short term!"

Yuchi Zhenjin changed the subject and made a suggestion to Huang Sixi: "How about this, Divine Doctor Huang, I will be in charge of all the herbs for refining the 'Black Jade Continuous Paste'. From now on, whenever you need them, I will buy them for you, and you just need to concentrate on refining the 'Black Jade Continuous Paste'!"

Huang Sixi smiled slightly and said, "I already feel bad for accepting your medicine hall as a gift. How can I let you continue to spend money on it?"

"It's not a big expense! I provide the herbs, but there are conditions!"

Yuchi Zhenjin said solemnly: "I am willing to provide Huang Shen Doctor with the necessary medicinal materials. After Huang Shen Doctor uses these medicinal materials to refine the 'Black Jade Intermittent Ointment', I hope that Huang Shen Doctor will divide the ointment into two parts, keep half in the pharmacy for his own use, and give the other half to me!"

Huang Sixi asked curiously, "Master Yuchi, what do you want so much 'Black Jade Ointment' for?"

Yuchi Zhenjin said frankly: "My Tang Dynasty values military achievements the most, and we have fought many wars, but every time we fight, injuries are commonplace. Huang Shenyi's 'Black Jade Ointment' is of great help to soldiers on the battlefield. I want to take this ointment to the Tang Dynasty soldiers!"

In fact, he just wanted to give it to the top brass of the Tang army to expand his network.

By the way, he monopolized the 'Black Jade Ointment' and sold it to wealthy merchants outside the capital city at a high price.

Huang Sixi will not go out as long as he is in charge of the gods. As long as Yuchi Zhenjin can control the supply of medicinal materials for the "Black Jade Fictitious Ointment", Yuchi Zhenjin will have the final say on how much of the ointment to produce in the future. Yuchi Zhenjin can sell the "Black Jade Fictitious Ointment" to other places and then raise the price.

When Huang Sixi heard him mention the battle, he immediately reached into his sleeve and took out a new ointment, handing it to Yuchi Zhenjin: "This medicine is called 'Tianxiang Duanxu Glue', which is specially used to treat sword wounds. No matter how big the wound is, as long as you apply this glue, the bleeding will stop immediately!"

For soldiers on the battlefield, "Tianxiang Duanxu Glue" is the real life-saving medicine.

Huang Sixi looked at Yuchi Zhenjin and said, "Master Yuchi, you can also deliver the medicinal materials of 'Tianxiang Duanxu Glue'. From now on, every time I refine a batch of 'Black Jade Duanxu Paste' and 'Tianxiang Duanxu Glue', I will give you half of them!"

Yuchi Zhenjin held the bottle of 'Tianxiang Duanxu Glue' in his hand and asked, "How does this glue compare to the golden wound medicine?"

Huang Sixi was confident: "It's at least ten times more effective!"

Yuchi Zhenjin was overjoyed: "Please ask Dr. Huang to list the ingredients for these two ointments. I will go and buy them now!"

"Black Jade Duanxu Paste" is mainly used to treat internal organs, tendons and bones, while "Tianxiang Duanxu Glue" is mainly used to treat external muscle and blood injuries. When the two medicines are used together, the Tang army will have no worries when they go out to fight.

Huang Sixi wrote the list of medicinal materials on the spot.

After getting the list, Yuchi Zhenjin said goodbye and left.

Master Kuiji did not stay long, and smiled at Huang Sixi, saying, "I was originally worried that Yuchi Zhenjin would treat Junior Brother Huang lightly, but now it seems that I was worrying too much! Junior Brother Huang, from now on, you will be able to practice medicine in the capital smoothly under the care of Yuchi Zhenjin. I will also return to Sanzang Temple to continue meditating and chanting scriptures!"

He knew that Yuchi Zhenjin was in a high position and had great power, and might not like a commoner like Huang Sixi.

However, Huang Sixi is willing to share the 'Black Jade Paste' and 'Heavenly Fragrance Paste' so that Yuchi Zhenjin can share the benefits equally. In the future, the two sides will have such a bond of interests. Yuchi Zhenjin will definitely strictly protect Huang Sixi's safety and do his best to ensure the operation of Sixi Pharmacy.

When Huang Sixi heard that Master Kuiji was leaving, he sent him to the outside of Shendu City, and then found a white ape and asked the white ape to carry him back to Sanzang Temple.

At the same time, he instructed the white ape to come to the outskirts of Shendu City at dusk, and Huang Sixi would then accompany it back to the ape forest.

Although Huang Sixi opened a pharmacy in Shendu, he only sat in the pharmacy during the day and stayed in Yuanlin at night.

Only after he had reforged the Dragon Subduing Sword would Huang Sixi consider moving to the Divine Capital to settle down.

In the following days, Huang Sixi commuted back and forth between Shendu and Yuanlin.

That night he came to the woods outside the city of Shendu to meet the white ape as agreed, but he was not in a hurry to return to Sanzang Temple.

He said to the white ape: "I have to go to the city to deal with an important matter. This matter must be done at night. It cannot be done during the day!"

The white ape immediately waved at him, indicating that he should go ahead and do it, and the white ape would be waiting in the woods.

Huang Sixi smiled and said, "I can't do it alone, I need your help, Brother Yuan!"

He wanted to go to Yanzi Tower to take away the dragon vein. The white ape had great strength and a big body, so he could take away the dragon vein with one hand.

There is nothing wrong with the white ape.

Taking advantage of the night, he climbed over the eaves and walls in the city of Shendu and soon landed in the courtyard garden of Swallow Tower.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the white ape landed on the ground, he heard a shout coming from the attic outside the garden: "She is just a lowly prostitute, why are you acting so arrogant? I have plenty of money. If she thinks a hundred gold coins are not enough, I will pay her a thousand gold coins to make her kneel down and serve me!"

Then a middle-aged woman's flattering voice was heard from the attic: "Hey, Master Bo, the musicians in our building only sell their art but not their bodies, please be considerate of me, your humble concubine!"

The shout was even more angry: "If you dare to stop me again, I will chop you in half!"

Huang Sixi saw that everyone in Swallow Tower was staying in the attic, so he immediately made a gesture to the white ape. The white ape understood and stretched one arm into the garden pond. In a moment, he felt the dragon vein.

Huang Sixi immediately told the white ape: "Take this stone out of the city and wait for me in the woods!"

The white ape held the dragon vein with both hands and leaped out of the city of God.

Huang Sixi was not in a hurry to leave. He jumped and landed on the roof of the attic.
