Qin Chuan returned home, went through the routine of eating, bathing, and helping his stepmother with a massage.
After finishing all these tasks, he went back to his room to cultivate while pondering ways to make money.
After dual cultivation with Jian Ya today, he took another step towards the middle stage of Qi cultivation, lighting up one more step among the fifty-nine.
Now there are fifty-eight steps left to go.
If he doesn't rely on dual cultivation, it might take a year or two to complete these fifty-eight steps.
Luckily, there's a method for dual cultivation.
And after resting for two days, Jian Ya's Primordial Yin Power was obviously restored.
This is why Qin Chuan was able to take a step forward with just one dual cultivation session.
You know, with Su Qian, he only made a step forward after so many sessions of dual cultivation.
This shows how outstanding the effects of the legendary tool are.
However, women with the legendary tool are rare to come by.
Qin Chuan didn't dare to expect too much.
He then thought of making money again.
In this society, without money in hand, it's hard to move an inch.
Although now he's not worried about food and clothing, with his current cultivation speed, sooner or later he will step onto a higher stage.
By then, the troubles he needs to solve will only increase.
Having money and power can eliminate some unnecessary troubles.
Moreover, future cultivation, aside from dual cultivation, will require some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Things like Thousand-Year Ganoderma and Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng.
With his current financial resources, he doesn't even dare to think about these.
So, he still needs to find a way to make money.
"The 'Human Emperor Medical Canon' can be put to good use, and also the ancient texts I got from the old master Jiang last time."
Qin Chuan mused to himself.
Last time at the martial arts hall, he met Jiang Shutong and got a batch of medical ancient texts from him.
The content recorded isn't as good as the Human Emperor Medical Canon, but it's not worthless either.
At least a few folk remedies recorded on them piqued Qin Chuan's interest.
For example, the Yang Gathering Pill, Clearing Spirit Powder, and Noble Consort Ointment formulas.
The Yang Gathering Pill helps men restore their vigor, akin to the Huayuan Kidney Treasure often advertised on TV.
Clearing Spirit Powder helps maintain concentration, somewhat similar to caffeine.
As for the Noble Consort Ointment, it is for beauty and skincare.
According to Qin Chuan's estimation, whether it's the Yang Gathering Pill, Clearing Spirit Powder, or Noble Consort Ointment, they are much better than those mass-produced stuff on the market.
The refining process is not difficult either.
If he practices well and sells them, he could probably make a lot of money.
However, the required herbs are quite rare, and with his pocket money, he'd probably struggle to buy even one of the ingredients.
The start-up capital is a big problem.
"I wonder if the old master Jiang can advance me a little on credit?" Qin Chuan pondered.
The old master Jiang, after all, is a well-known doctor. Although his medical skills are not that great, he's well-known, probably not short of money, and likely doesn't lack medicinal materials either.
Qin Chuan thought about discussing it with the old master tomorrow.
The night passed uneventfully.
Early the next morning, Qin Chuan sent a message to the old master Jiang.
The old master Jiang was very enthusiastic, inviting Qin Chuan to his clinic.
Qin Chuan did not refuse. Taking advantage of only having one class in the afternoon, after class, he went straight to the old master Jiang's clinic: Tongde Hall!
The clinic is located in the bustling area, with a large storefront of more than three hundred square meters.
There are dozens of traditional Chinese medicine windows inside.
Some specialize in gynecology, while others specialize in children's diseases, and some focus on difficult and complicated diseases.
In an era where traditional Chinese medicine is not valued, having such a scale is not easy.
Qin Chuan reported his name, and soon he met the old master Jiang.
As the treasure of Tongde Hall, the old master Jiang rarely sees patients now, leaving it to his apprentices.
He only steps in for difficult and complicated cases that his apprentices cannot handle.
The old master Jiang warmly welcomed Qin Chuan with great enthusiasm.
But just as Qin Chuan was about to state the purpose of his visit, a familiar voice interrupted him.
"Grandpa, I'm here!"
A lively and playful voice reached Qin Chuan's ears.
Qin Chuan instinctively turned his head, then froze in surprise.
A girl wearing a white T-shirt on top, a gray long skirt below, and canvas shoes appeared in front of him.
The girl looked around twenty, with hair like a waterfall, bright eyes, and a lively smile on her face.
Overall, she looked very ladylike.
And when she saw Qin Chuan, her expression also froze, then she feigned curiosity and asked, "Grandpa, who is this?"
"This is Mr. Qin, a leading figure in the Chinese medicine world, his medical skills are above mine." The old master Jiang introduced warmly, full of compliments.
"Oh~~~"
The girl showed a look of sudden realization and then politely reached out to Qin Chuan, "Hello, Mr. Qin, I'm Wen Yaxin."
Qin Chuan furrowed his brows.
Today's Wen Yaxin was completely different from the Wen Yaxin he met yesterday.
Yesterday's Wen Yaxin was passionate and uninhibited, with denim shorts short enough to show her buttocks.
But today's Wen Yaxin appeared gentle and ladylike.
Were it not for the fact that the face and voice were the same, he would have suspected that the one he met yesterday was Wen Yaxin's sister or something.
"You... hello."
Qin Chuan snapped back to reality and gently shook her hand.
But just when he thought this was the real character of Wen Yaxin, her fingers lightly teased his palm.
At the same time, she didn't forget to flash him a bright smile.
Almost as if it was just an innocent handshake.
Qin Chuan took back his hand, feeling a bit puzzled.
It wasn't because of Wen Yaxin's contrasting behavior.
But why did she pretend not to know him today when they clearly greeted each other yesterday?
"Yaxin, you can entertain yourself for a while, Grandpa and Mr. Qin have some matters to discuss." At this moment, the old master Jiang spoke.
"No way, I want to keep you company."
Wen Yaxin pouted coquettishly.
"This..."
The old master Jiang seemed troubled.
"It's no trouble."
Qin Chuan spoke up willingly, after all, it was just asking for credit, a bit awkward, but nothing shady.
The old master Jiang nodded, then led the two to the meeting room.
And while walking, Qin Chuan noticed that the apprentices were sorting and grinding herbs, and they would pick out those with inferior appearance.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan suddenly had an idea.
"Old master Jiang, I noticed that the clinic sorts out some herbs with inferior appearances. What do you use these herbs for?"
Upon entering the meeting room, Qin Chuan asked directly.
"Herbs with inferior appearance are generally disposed of at low prices, and those that can't be sold are just thrown away."
The old master Jiang explained and then asked, "Does Mr. Qin need herbs? If Mr. Qin asks, you can use any herbs from here for free."
"I can't take something for nothing; I just want to see those herbs with inferior appearances, if possible take a few to look at?" Qin Chuan politely declined.
Kindness should be repaid, but if he can owe less, even better.
"Sure, I'll go get some now."
The old master Jiang agreed without hesitation and instructed Wen Yaxin, "Yaxin, could you keep Mr. Qin company while I go out briefly?"
"Okay, Grandpa."
Wen Yaxin agreed with a smile.
But as soon as the old master Jiang left, she proactively sat beside Qin Chuan, "Do you want me to call you Qin classmate or Mr. Qin?"
"Uh..."
Qin Chuan shivered instinctively, shifting his seat slightly, "Whatever you like."
"Aren't you wondering why I'm completely different from yesterday?" Wen Yaxin asked with a smile.
Qin Chuan nodded, indeed feeling a bit strange.
But Wen Yaxin didn't answer; instead, she leaned closer to Qin Chuan's neck, taking a gentle sniff, "Actually, I'm even more different in bed. Interested to find out?"
