Chapter 430: Buy and Sell

Zhou Daocheng was a little surprised that the young man in front of him was actually a doctor.

Physician is actually a profession of cultivating immortality, which is included in the system of alchemist, but its status is much worse than that of alchemist.

Generally speaking, there are more traditional Chinese medicine practitioners among mortals, but relatively few in the world of immortal cultivation. They are considered a rarity.

Zhou Daocheng also took some medicinal powders refined by Shang Yin and examined them. They were all made by grinding and boiling various elixirs and refining them with some special methods. The effects are not much different from elixirs, and they can be applied externally or taken internally.

In fact, the difference between the medicinal powder and elixir refined by this method is not big, but it is relatively simpler, and most of them are used to heal injuries and can treat various injuries. The range of use is wider than that of elixir. The medicine needs to be wider.

Zhou Daocheng does not discriminate against doctors. As long as they exist, they must exist for a reason and have an irreplaceable role. This does not mean that they are definitely inferior to alchemists.

At the same time, he also learned that Shang Yin’s mother seemed to have died in an alchemy accident! The elixir originally used for treatment turned into poison during the refining process. His mother was so poisoned that even taking healing elixirs and detoxifying elixirs did not help, and she eventually died.

It was precisely because of this incident that Shang Yin became resistant to alchemy, and instead became quite interested in doctors.

Moreover, with his own tinkering, he actually developed some special prescriptions with good therapeutic effects. It seems that he also has a very high talent in the field of medicine.

Zhou Daocheng nodded and said with approval: "It is indeed worthy of encouragement to pursue what you want to do without being influenced by others."

Hearing this, Shang Yin suddenly raised his head slightly and opened his mouth in surprise, as if he had something to say.

Seeing his hesitation, Zhou Daocheng asked in confusion: "What do you have to say? Don't be reserved."

Shang Yin shook his head slightly, his eyes flickering and said: "No one has ever supported me to become a doctor. Everyone wants me to give up, telling me that there is no way out for a doctor, and that only an alchemist is the way to go..."

"Whether it's master, uncle, or brother... they all say that medicine is a mortal profession. They have forced me to specialize in alchemy countless times, but... I don't like simplicity..."

Zhou Daocheng nodded slightly. He could understand how important a child with outstanding talent and good alchemy talent was to a force like Xiaodan Pavilion.

He also knew that Xiaodan Pavilion did not need a doctor at all. What it needed was a genius who could lead Xiaodan Pavilion to become a foundation-building force and a second-level alchemist.

Therefore, no one will support Shang Yin's decision.

Zhou Daocheng patted him on the shoulder and said: "There are thousands of roads, different roads leading to the same destination. It is always the monks who choose their own path. How can there be a path that chooses people? Firmly follow what you want to take, this will be a thing worth your while." Something to be proud of.”

Hearing this, Shang Yin nodded deeply.

Zhou Daocheng also sighed a little. He didn't expect that the members of this team all had bad experiences. Maybe this could bring them together.

He looked at the last person with some sympathy and asked, "Qin Muli, what about you?"

Qin Muli scratched his head and said, "I don't have much of a story. My family is very good to me. I joined this mercenary team because of you!"

As soon as he spoke, Zhou Daocheng could clearly feel that this man was much more cheerful than the others, with a sweet smile on his face and a naive look.

"Because of me?!" Zhou Daocheng raised his eyebrows and said, "What does this have to do with me?"

Qin Muli shook his head helplessly, stretched out his hands and said, "I am the youngest of the Mu generation. I was raised by my aunt Mu since I was a child. I can be considered... both sister and mother."

"Uh, what's the problem with this?" Zhou Daocheng was confused for a while.

This situation is relatively common among cultivating immortal families, because the age span of each generation is quite large.

For example, among the Taoist generation of the Zhou family, the oldest Zhou Daobai is over 30 years old, and the youngest is only two or three years old. Like Zhou Daoxiu and Zhou Daoyuan, they were raised by Zhou Daocheng, and they have the same relationship as brother and father.

Qin Muli was brought up by Aunt Qin Mu, which is actually not that difficult to understand.

However, Qin Muli let out a long sigh, looked at Zhou Daocheng with some resentment, and said, "Senior, I did have a good life in the past ten years, but in recent years... it seems not so good."

"Why?"

"Because many people say that I am your illegitimate son... They say that you had an affair with Aunt Mu in the early years, and then abandoned Aunt Mu. Aunt Mu gave birth to me alone and raised me... So Aunt Mu Later, you took me to seek refuge with you, and you took us in regardless of the past."

Zhou Daocheng's face suddenly turned dark. This is all nonsense. Wild history can be wild, but it cannot be pure shit!

He glanced at the young man in front of him speechlessly and said, "Don't you even know who your parents are? How could you let such rumors leak out?"

"Well, I really don't know who my parents are." Qin Muli scratched his head helplessly and said, "My mother didn't want to accept the family's marriage proposal, so she ran away from the family to marry a loose cultivator. It is said that she sent me back three years later. Then he disappeared directly..."

Zhou Daocheng paused and couldn't say anything for a moment. He originally thought that this child had a cheerful personality and should have a good life experience, but he didn't expect that he would also experience tragedy.

Zhou Daocheng glanced at the young man in front of him. The seven of them couldn't make up a pair of parents. It was so hard that people didn't know what to say.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that they came together and jointly established a mercenary team.

Zhou Daocheng didn't want to bring up their pain points again, so he deliberately changed the subject and asked, "How long has your mercenary team been established? What is its current level?"

Zhou Daoxiu took the initiative to say, "Sixth brother, it's been more than half a year, but it's still a temporary mercenary team. We have to wait until we are stronger before we can apply to become a permanent mercenary team."

Zhou Daocheng nodded to show his understanding. It's not that the more tasks you accept, the more you can become a permanent mercenary team.

The permanent mercenary team has very strict strength requirements and requires a lot of points, which is not something that a few teenagers in the early and middle stages of Qi training can meet.

"Where do you usually live? I see that you haven't been back to the Spirit Medicine Garden for a long time."

Zhou Daoxiu said seriously, "We don't live in the Spirit Medicine Garden. I see that other mercenary teams can't afford to live in the Wugu Market, and most of them live in the wild, so we do the same. We bought a set of earth spirit houses and usually practice and hunt monsters in the nearby mountains."

Zhou Daocheng was also interested when he heard this. So after asking them to pack up the monster materials, he went to their residence to check it out.

Not long after, a small first-grade, lower-grade earth spirit hut was seen in the treacherous valley behind.
