19. A Doctor-Patient Dispute?
Honestly, the Emperor giving them such a large piece of land, she didn’t know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
Right now, there were only two of them. They didn’t have the production line of alchemists, service staff, and so on that a pharmaceutical company needed, let alone a chamber of commerce.
To use this land, it would be impossible without a period of brewing.
As for the alchemists, she, Miss Gong, was a complete novice in this area. The only reliable person here was Yan Chuyue.
Although there were a terrifying number of high-quality pills in the Divine Physician’s space, and Yan Chuyue, with her Divine Physician’s art and inheritance, could refine pills several times faster than ordinary people…
But without other people, it was a big problem. When people came to visit, and saw only one alchemist, who would believe they had any ability?
The two, eating beef noodles on the side of the road, couldn’t help but talk about this.
“Your subordinates and those ghost shadows, can’t you use them?”
“Don’t even think about it.” Gong Yiling smiled wryly. “Those rough guys don’t even look the part, let alone learn.”
“As for those ghost shadow puppets, you can’t see them. If you really saw them, you’d have turned into a ghost yourself.”
Yan Chuyue raised an eyebrow, then narrowed her eyes slightly. “You’re not using that thing to spy on me all the time, are you?”
Thinking of the last incident, she hadn’t settled the score with this guy yet.
Spying was no real skill, hmph!
“Ahem…” Gong Yiling almost sprayed out the noodle soup in her mouth. “What are you doing? Why would I spy on you? It’s not like you have a guilty conscience, so—”
“How do you know I have a guilty conscience? If you hadn’t spied on me first, you wouldn’t have found out I wanted to mess with you.”
Uh… she was stumped.
That logic was actually sound. Even the eloquent Miss Gong was speechless.
“Hmph.” Yan Chuyue placed her hands on the table and snorted. “Anyway, if I find you spying on me again, I’ll beat you into a ghost.”
“I didn’t! I’m not a stalker! These paparazzi have to do their job! Who’s going to spy on you!”
“Job?” Yan Chuyue was taken aback. “What job?”
“You’ll know later.” Gong Yiling suddenly smiled mysteriously at her, then picked up her bowl and drank the delicious noodle soup clean.
As the saying goes, a full stomach makes for a clear mind. Now, with a bowl of beef noodles in her stomach, a magical idea immediately popped into her head.
No… or rather, a candidate she should have thought of from the beginning.
“Let’s go.” Thinking of this, Gong Yiling said to Yan Chuyue, “We’re going to find someone.”
“Find someone? Who?”
“Who else?” Gong Yiling picked up a wet towel from the side and, while wiping her mouth, said very carefully, “Naturally, Elder Zhao.”

Gong Yiling’s new idea was simple.
Now, to poach people from those old pharmaceutical companies, or to find some freelance alchemists, or for them to directly train a new batch of alchemists, these three methods were impossible to achieve overnight.
If they wanted to immediately have some market competitiveness, they really had to find some alchemists first.
As for the candidates, she really had no choice now.
“A pharmaceutical company?” Zhao Huaiji was very surprised. “You want the people of the Cloud Rainbow Sect to join your pharmaceutical company first?”
“But my Cloud Rainbow Sect will not participate in such secular matters. Are you two looking for the wrong person?”
“No.” Gong Yiling shook her head and said, “I think this should be a good thing for you.”
“How so?”
“Chuyue’s master is from the Great One Engineering Sect. Her pharmaceutical company is just to prevent the old sect from fading from people’s view. And that master has always been a wanderer and has no concept of money. Selling the extra pills will not be a waste.”
“If you let the Cloud Rainbow Sect be our supplier, on the one hand, you can use this platform to sell the new sect’s pills, and on the other hand, it can be considered as getting the old sect’s certification. When the situation is stable in the future, you can clarify the matter, and your confidence will be stronger.”
That was true.
Now that the Cloud Rainbow Sect couldn’t appear publicly, it was a good idea to sell the extra pills they made for practice through a trusted firm. The money they got back could be used to continue preparing for the establishment of the sect.
You had to know, establishing a sect was not as simple as “I want to build it, so I build it.”
In this day and age, nothing worked without money, and pills were the fastest way to turn things into cash.
He was also considering whether he should find a pharmaceutical company to sell some pills. After all, although he had a pharmacy, it was more for treating patients. Normally, not many people would come to such a remote pharmacy to buy pills.
He was originally thinking of asking Gong Musheng, this junior, for help, but now someone had come to him with a self-recommendation.
“Alright.”
Zhao Huaiji nodded. “I can let those disciples temporarily become your partners.”
Yes!
Indeed, when you have a headache, a bowl of beef noodles can solve all your problems.
Beef noodles, the temporary god!
“Then I’ll thank you first, Elder.” Gong Yiling said repeatedly, “And don’t worry, Elder. Although we’re hiring the disciples of the Cloud Rainbow Sect, we won’t force them to do anything. They just need to hand in some pills of any quality every week.”
“I’m not worried about that. You two’s character, I, this old bone, can see it clearly.”
Uh… hearing this, Miss Gong felt a bit awkward.
Why did he have to include her? She didn’t even know if her own character was reliable…
But in any case, the problem of the source of goods was solved. The problem of other staff was just a matter of a few days.
The two, who had returned from Zhao Huaiji’s place, although they still had other things to deal with, were now quite relaxed.
However, when they walked back to their own doorstep, they inexplicably found that it was now surrounded by a crowd. There was a noisy sound from the crowd, which made the surrounding people stop and stay.
“What’s going on?”
Yan Chuyue and Gong Yiling couldn’t help but look at each other.
The shop hadn’t even opened yet. Why was it like a grand opening sale?
The two spent a lot of effort to finally squeeze to the front, but the scene in front of them made them even more puzzled.
In front of the closed door, there were seven or eight wooden stretchers, and on them were many pale-faced people. These people looked very wrong, as if they were just hanging on by a thread.
