===TITLE===

Senior Brother, God of Medicinal Theory

Thus: ===TITLE=== Senior Brother, God of Medicinal Theory

Now

The loss of spiritual energy is severe; it should have dropped to the Yellow rank now.

Then it was stuffed into Elder Yan's mouth, and strands of spiritual energy were activated, cutting it open and letting it flow into his abdomen.

"Buzz—buzz—buzz!"

Elder Yan's qi and blood began to flow normally, also activating his cultivation technique to suppress the illness; the flush on his face vanished in an instant.

A faint silver-white light spilled over his body as he sat cross-legged, his Daoist robe flaring wildly, like a banished immortal.

"Suc… succeeded?"

The old man in blue robes felt a jolt in his heart—what kind of son did Professor Qin have? Such a monster!

You should know, my medical skill ranks among the top fifteen in all of Great Xia.

He is a grandmaster.

Even I am helpless.

As a result, Qin Yu just pulled out a random herb and solved it?

He breathed a sigh of relief.

If my senior brother died here, it would be a fatal blow to our lineage.

I can't bear the banner.

"Th… thank you, young friend. May I ask the value of this medicine? Our Southern Mountain lineage will double compensate!" The blue-robed elder bowed beside him, his dissatisfaction vanishing instantly.

He felt immense shame for his earlier contempt.

If I hadn't come today to check on Qin Yu, my senior brother would likely have died today.

Qin Yu waved his hand: "Saving a life outweighs building a seven-story pagoda; it's just a single herb, nothing to worry about."

If we were to pay double its original value, even a single capital conglomerate wouldn't be enough to compensate.

If spirit stones were taken to Blue Star and sold for 100,000 each, they'd likely be snatched up.

You need at least 100,000 spirit stones just to buy one stalk.

The blue-robed elder's heart trembled—such a divine object, yet Qin Yu regarded it lightly, leaving him utterly shocked.

"Professor Qin's family tradition, I admire it."

"Earlier, I secretly slandered you in the elevator; I am willing to compensate with an arm and offer decades of my accumulation."

"As thanks!"

As his words fell, he raised his right palm and chopped down; Qin Yu stared, bewildered—wasn't it normal to curse someone behind their back?

Why would he still want to chop off his own arm?

Isn't that too blunt?

Aren't old fogies supposed to be deep and scheming? How could you bring this up like that?

"Buzz!"

Immediately, a strand of spiritual energy shot out, knocking his right palm askew; he let out a wry smile: "Senior, there's no need for this—just a bit of resource, we can earn it back later. Besides, I heard inside the sect that this person is Elder Yan."

"As long as he lives, those high-level martial artists of the Martial Department have security."

"This matter is settled."

At that moment, Elder Yan on the sofa slowly opened his eyes, feeling as if he had become ten or twenty years younger!

Moreover, the hidden injuries from his failed seclusion a few days ago, along with some old wounds, all disappeared!

This is astonishing to the extreme!

He still has a chance to break through to Grandmaster!

And the probability is high!

The energy within this herb has loosened his bottleneck.

He immediately knelt on the ground, disregarding his status: "Thank you, Young Master Qin, for producing the divine medicine and saving my life; I have no way to repay it—our Southern Mountain lineage vows to protect you completely!"

Qin Yu was dumbfounded—just a single spirit herb… the Profound Yang Sect now has so many they're about to get moldy.

He quickly helped Elder Yan up: "Elder Yan, please don't be so polite—if my father knew you were kneeling to me, he'd have me hung up and beaten for three days and three nights."

Elder Yan rose, their eyes meeting, his gaze full of fervor: "Young friend, you not only treat divine medicine resources lightly, but you're also versed in pharmacology—just picking any herb saved my life."

"This shows you have talent in this area; our Southern Mountain lineage has also been researching new qi-blood pills and various means to quickly help Great Xia's people become martial artists, while being high-quality and low-cost."

"If you're willing to join, I will accept you as a disciple in place of my deceased master; from now on you'll be the senior brother of our Southern Mountain lineage, and through systematic study you could even become a god of pharmacology, beloved by Great Xia's citizens—surely surpassing your father Qin Shangwu."

Elder Yan spoke decisively, full of confidence that Qin Yu definitely possesses this talent.

Although his illness had flared up suddenly earlier, he could still sense some things.

Each medicine's therapeutic direction is different.

Yet the other party precisely produced the one best suited to his condition.

This is astonishing.

Moreover… Elder Yan wanted to make connections; perhaps the Qin family isn't as simple as it appears.

Furthermore, both sides belong to Great Xia's camp; protecting Qin Yu now could not only help all of Great Xia in the future, but also strike against aristocratic capital families and the like.

Only benefits, no drawbacks!

Although the strongest in the Southern Mountain lineage is him, he is merely a Grandmaster.

But… the connections and countless favors I've accumulated over the years make protecting Qin Yu utterly simple.

He has this confidence.

Qin Yu felt a bit dazed—how did he become versed in pharmacology?

These spirit herbs of mine—just pulling out any one could save you, right!

Out of the blue, they invited me to become the senior brother of the Southern Mountain lineage?

The key point is, these junior brothers are all old men!

At this moment, a prompt voice appeared in his mind.

You have received advice; after systematic study, you will become the God of Pharmacy, able to see through the fusion and properties of various medicines at a glance and conduct smelting.

Since you are already a preliminary Xuan-tier alchemist, your pill-cultivation level is top-notch on the Blue Star; you no longer need to study—just accept the advice and you will become the God of Pharmacy!

Qin Yu's eyes lit up; he had almost forgotten he was still an alchemist, after all only a preliminary Xuan-tier... he didn't really take it to heart.

Furthermore, he has various alchemy traits; if it really doesn't work, why not just treat these damn Blue Star medicines as pills to refine?

Do we still need to waste time waiting for the next time?

Besides this incident, there likely is a shadow of the capitalist families.

If we don't fight back, aren't we just letting ourselves be kneaded like a soft persimmon?

"Good! Then I promise you!" Qin Yu said solemnly, nodding.

The green-robed old man standing aside wanted to speak, because…… the grass on our masters' graves is already three zhang high.

Senior Brother, you dare to take disciples in place of the master?

Soon after, he figured out the stakes: they can produce so many divine medicines, yet they still lack a South Mountain lineage like you?

Now, the South Mountain lineage is demanding Qin Yu!

In the end, he just shut up.

"Greetings, Eldest Senior Brother; from now on you will be the one overseeing our South Mountain lineage."

Old Yan clasped his hands, extremely excited.

"With the Eldest Senior Brother's leadership, our South Mountain lineage could even surpass the research institute."

"We shouldn't delay; let's start researching Qi-Blood Pills and similar medicines now—this incident is too fishy; the capitalist families have likely set their sights on me, so we must strike back!"

"Eldest Senior Brother, stay calm; at this moment we must stay calm, we must not lose our heads, even though you are naturally gifted in pharmacy."

"But even Shennong needed to taste a hundred herbs and study."

"I have confidence; at most ten years, together with the Eldest Senior Brother we will suppress the market controlled by the capitalist families!"

Now the capitalist side has also compressed profits, setting the price at a hundred thousand Qi-Blood Pills.

Even if it's low profit, high volume, it's still better than nothing.

Therefore we should be rational and plan slowly.

Of course, it's not that we don't trust Qin Yu, but we must take it step by step; even if you want to refine top-tier divine medicine, it still takes time.

How could one possibly master it right away?

Even if Old Yan knows this outbreak is suspicious, he is still willing to endure.

"If you trust me as your Eldest Senior Brother, then let's set out—now first refine Qi-Blood Pills and drive the price down! Give those people a lesson."

"This time, if Old Yan dies at my place, heh… if nothing unexpected happens, many high-ranking martial artists who owe you favors will more or less blame me."

Qin Yu saw through this plot at a glance; it's an open conspiracy, and the other side hardly bothered to conceal it.

"Since the Eldest Senior Brother has lofty ambitions, let's set out—this time even I have been targeted; these families have indeed overstepped."

"Even if we can't produce a cheap new-type pill these few days, starting tomorrow, all clinics of the South Mountain lineage will sell Qi-Blood Pills at eighty thousand each." Old Yan's eyes deepened with a faint rising anger.

This is putting oneself in a death trap.

Endure my ass.

Moreover, the relationship between the two sides needs to be stabilized.

Our South Mountain lineage might actually produce a martial saint in the future!

By then, his name will be recorded in history.

What's a little wealth?

Money!

Moreover, today we also happen to let Qin Yu know the difficulty of refining the new-type Qi-Blood Pill, so he will realize the challenge and learn gradually.

This is the most crucial.

Young people all have arrogance; we need to go along with it, letting him hit the south wall himself.

Seeing this, the green-robed old man nearly fainted; directly going into a business war with the capitalists—how could we possibly afford to lose?

Now the transportation, operation, and medicinal material costs are roughly around ninety-five thousand.

That is, each Qi-Blood Pill would lose fifteen thousand.

The South Mountain lineage's current daily sales are roughly tens of thousands; after the price drop…… estimated daily sales could reach hundreds of thousands.

One day we'd lose several tens of billions……

After a month, the South Mountain lineage should be able to declare bankruptcy.

Afterwards we can drink plain congee.

"Then let's first go to our Rongcheng clinic; there we have refining equipment."

Old Yan pushed open the door; Qin Yu and Old Xu closely followed.

"Senior Brother, go slow."

Then, taking three steps at a time, he pressed the elevator and stood aside waiting.

Outside, the Myriad Flame Sect grandmaster was somewhat surprised; wasn't Old Xu a junior brother? How did he become a senior brother?

And why is he being so respectful?

"Immediately dispatch two grandmasters and ten sixth-rank Golden Body Realm martial artists to protect the senior brother's safety; we two are not enough."

He glanced at the Myriad Flame Sect grandmaster, full of distrust.

After all, he's not one of us; he certainly won't put in effort.

And just then, the Myriad Flame Sect grandmaster leaning by the doorway dropped his cigarette from his mouth, his expression dazed.

"Senior brother?"

"Was that said to Qin Yu?"

"Am I dreaming?"

"Holy shit!"

"Isn't the senior brother of the Nanshan lineage Yan Hai?"

"He hurriedly took out his phone to send a message, informing those here of the information; the many martial department personnel responsible for Qin Yu's safety were also dumbfounded."

"What is Qin Yu hiding?"
