CHAPTER 306: CHAPTER 168: FLOWER PROTECTOR

Zhou Qingchuan had already eliminated the spies mixed within the merchant team with the cooperation of the remaining dozens of people from the Sky Hunting Corps.

"It’s a pity that my uncle had already heard the wind and escaped in advance. However, with this letter and the members of the Hunting Corps you captured, I believe my grandfather will handle it when we get back," Zhou Qingchuan said with a sigh.

He took the letter but did not reclaim the Golden Card that Yun Sheng and others had confiscated from the Phantom Beast Corps, and he even granted the Sky Hunting Corps a substantial commission.

Zhou Qingchuan did not expect that this time, things would progress so smoothly, all thanks to Yun Sheng and others’ help.

After dawn, Yun Sheng and the others were ready to set off, and Zhou Qingchuan needed to hit the road as well, reluctantly bidding farewell to Yun Sheng.

"Brother Zhou, I have something I want to ask you about," Yun Sheng called out to Zhou Qingchuan before parting.

Zhou Qingchuan looked at Yun Sheng, a trace of reluctance flashing in his eyes, but he quickly hid those feelings deep inside.

The days they spent together allowed him to understand Yun Sheng better.

Knowing that Yun Sheng was only eight years old was quite a shock to him.

There was a thirteen-year age difference between them. Despite the bittersweet feelings, Zhou Qingchuan had secretly made a decision.

He would wait for Yun Sheng to grow up.

During these years of waiting, he would continuously strengthen his own capabilities, ensuring that such incidents would not happen again.

He, Zhou Qingchuan, might not be able to compare with this young girl in terms of magic and medical talent.

But he vowed to make a name for himself in his own field, and one day, he would use his unique abilities in business to protect her.

Only then could he truly pursue her.

Yun Sheng could not guess the thoughts in Zhou Qingchuan’s heart at this moment.

"If you have any questions, just ask. If Brother Zhou can help, I definitely will," Zhou Qingchuan said with a smile, cherishing the enchanting smile on her face.

"It’s about the operation of the medical hall; I’ve encountered some difficulties," Yun Sheng had received letters from Lin Yao’er over these days.

Though the medical hall had temporarily shifted its focus to magic potions, the effect was not very satisfying.

After all, for most commoners, ancient medical skills are more convincing than magic.

If the issue of medicinal herb supply is not resolved quickly, the reputation built on free clinics will soon be depleted.

Yun Sheng briefly told Zhou Qingchuan about how she had offended the Medicine Emperor Pavilion and produced a holy-grade Elixir.

"You made a holy-grade elixir and challenged the Medicine Emperor Pavilion during a free clinic?" Zhou Qingchuan said with a surprised chuckle, "No wonder the Medicine Emperor Pavilion took heavy action against you."

Zhou Qingchuan, responsible for the operations of Wuji Commerce, knew that the business scope of Wuji Commerce was broad, including some medicinal herb procurement.

On the continent, let alone holy-grade elixirs, any elixir above a high-grade level would definitely be produced by the Medicine Emperor Pavilion.

Similarly, in terms of magic potions, no one else but the Magic Temple could do it.

Yun Sheng first created a high-quality magic medicine named Moon God’s Praise, which was still reasonable since she had studied at the Royal Magic Academy before.

But without systematic training from the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, she managed to produce a holy-grade elixir and repeatedly challenged the Medicine Emperor Pavilion.

Considering the status of the Medicine Emperor Pavilion in the ancient medical world, not directly killing Yun Sheng was already courteous of them.

This was partly because of the consideration of Wuxuan Wuji Hall and perhaps also because of the backing of the Martial Saint General Mansion behind Yun Sheng.

"If they hadn’t made mistakes during the free clinic, how could I have humiliated them?" Yun Sheng pouted her lips.

"Since the incident has already happened, let it be. With your uncle around, the Medicine Emperor Pavilion can at most only undercut you on the medicinal herbs. However, solving this issue isn’t too difficult," Zhou Qingchuan truly is a rare genius in the Wuji Commerce that only appears once in hundreds of years.

The problem that had troubled Yun Sheng and Little Ci’en Hall for a long time was solved by him in an instant.

"There’s a saying, it’s better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Instead of trying to buy medicinal materials from the pharmacies, why not start with the medicinal farmers or, better yet, hire someone to grow the medicinal herbs for you," Zhou Qingchuan knew that, including the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, there are specialized pharmacies.

In these pharmacies, only specific medicinal herbs are cultivated to ensure quality.

With a hint from Zhou Qingchuan, Yun Sheng immediately understood.

Indeed, how could she forget her own expertise? When she was in Banana Leaf Village, she was a medicinal farmer.

She could completely buy out some fertile villages, contract their medicinal herbs, and cultivate bases in various places in Great Zhou and even outside its territories.

"Brother Zhou, you’ve really helped me a lot. You have wide connections; can you help me get in touch with some quality medicinal herb seeds?" Yun Sheng decided to immediately pen a letter to Lin Yao’er.

"No problem, this time, you guys have done me a great favor. Providing some seeds for medicinal herbs is just a small effort for me,"

Zhou Qingchuan also chose some potentially suitable small villages within Great Zhou based on his experience.

Zhou Qingchuan promised Yun Sheng that he would also keep an eye out for suitable villages in countries outside Great Zhou.

As he watched Zhou Qingchuan’s merchant team disappear with the rumbling sound of carts and horses on the side of the road, Yun Sheng continued her journey with the hunter soldiers from the Sky Hunting Corps.

In the quiet rugged mountains, three figures stood on a towering tree.

"Tsk tsk, Beiming, that guy is interested in your woman, he’s a formidable rival. The young master of the Wuji Commerce, young and wealthy, and utterly devoted to the Little Divine Doctor," Cheng Bai whistled.

"From so far away, you can see the signs, how come I didn’t notice?" Bu Jiuxiao looked utterly oblivious.

Ye Beiming’s handsome face tightened, "He’s no match for me."

His words showed not a shred of embarrassment or hesitation.

"Wow, you’re so confident, does Little Sheng’er know about this?" Cheng Bai choked on his saliva from Ye Beiming’s words.

Expecting Ye Beiming to react vehemently, but seeing this young man’s demeanor, he seemed very confident about his standing with Yun Sheng.

"She doesn’t need to know. She can only belong to me," Ye Beiming said coolly.

"If that’s the case, why not just protect her boldly instead of making us sneak around like mice, acting all sneaky," Cheng Bai really had no way to deal with his childhood friend.

Upon returning to Yujing, as soon as he heard that Yun Sheng and the people of the Sky Hunting Corps had left,

without a second word, he dragged the two of them to serve as labor, enduring hardships on the way.

Several times, they were nearly discovered by Yun Canglang, but thanks to Ye Beiming’s vigilance, they managed to avert crisis.

"I also think that she doesn’t need protection," Bu Jiuxiao had always wondered, as Ye Beiming had never shown interest in any woman but suddenly became interested in a young female Mage.

Although her medical skill is high and she looks quite attractive, how could Ye fall for her so deeply in such a short time.

Following her on this journey, Bu Jiuxiao found out that Yun Sheng is very special.

Just in dealing with abrupt situations, her wisdom is comparable to any adult.

No wonder Ye Beiming, of demon level, sees her in a different light.

"Indeed, I’ve never seen such a fierce woman. Tsk tsk, could it be that a demon should match with a demon? I wonder if you two end up together, wouldn’t that result in a Little Devil?" Cheng Bai shuddered, just thinking about that scenario gave him goosebumps all over.
