The chubby man silently stared at his phone for a long time before he picked it up, his short, plump fingers adeptly typing: "You're right, I came all this way here indeed because of the family's medical clinic being supressed and already facing difficulties, but it's not yet so bad that we can't keep going."

"Why deceive yourself and others?" came the immediate reply: "The conditions of your He Family's Bone Setting are already very bad, modern people prefer to go to hospitals for surgery, get steel plates and plaster, and compared to your He Family, the Cultivation World more recognizes the Bone Setting of the Pang Family."

"So right now, your He Family is merely struggling to keep the clinic operational, with outdated equipment and premises. Continuing like this, closure is only a matter of time, and you should be well aware of it."

Upon reading this, the chubby man remained silent for a moment before sighing and sending another message.

"I admit everything as you have said, and indeed, the Pang Family's Bone Setting is somewhat superior to ours at the He Family, so the only chance for our He Family's Bone Setting to rise again is to avoid the Pang Family, which is why I have chosen to come here."

The other side sent a smiling emoji: "Smart move. You're thousands of miles away from the Pang Family, beyond their reach, and there are only two bone setting families in this province, both of ordinary standard. As long as your He Family's Bone Setting performs normally, you can easily beat them."

"It's just unfortunate that, according to the rules, if you want to open your clinic here, you'll need to challenge eight families. Even if you can defeat those two, could you really win against families skilled in Acupuncture Technique, formulas, and Spiritual Medicine with just Bone Setting?"

"So accepting my help is your only chance to open the clinic here."

The chubby man stared at the phone screen, remaining silent for a long time before replying: "Who are you? Why should I believe you can do it?"

"Use your Bone Setting to defeat Shen Qiang and post the news in the group, if possible, it would be better to livestream it. If you can do it, I will naturally reveal my identity then, and you should understand, since I know who you are and am aware of the relationships involved, I naturally have the ability to fulfill my promise."

"Waiting for your good news."

After typing these sentences, the other party logged off.

Gazing at the phone screen, the thoughtful chubby man reopened the group chat, and immediately saw Zhong Yongxi boasting in the group.

"My great-uncle master is Young enough yet capable of using the Flowers Opening Nine Branches technique, and in a few years, using something like a Thousand Trees Blossom will just be playful for him. He has a prideful spirit; you guys are so vile, he probably despises you, you might as well flirt with me instead."

"Cut it out~, the impressive one is Shen Qiang, not you, just bragging, my old lady wouldn't even glance at you."

"Exactly, flirt with you? You think we are blind?"

"Right, even if my old lady were to flirt, it would definitely be with a real strong man, a real genius, like the young Shen Qiang who can use Flowers Opening Nine Branches already, or the astonishing, uniquely talented group leader who is known as the unparalled genius of the Cultivation World in a millennium, with Cultivation still only at the Nascent Soul Stage, already able to refine pills."

"Even though what he refines are only the most basic Floral Dew Pills for repelling mosquitoes, none can cover his matchless brilliance. As for you, Zhong Yongxi, heh… maybe in your next life, if I go blind, perhaps I'll flirt with you."

With the contents of the chat in view, the chubby man's brow furrowed deeply.

"Knows the inside story and unwilling to reveal his identity, yet has significant capabilities, who exactly is this person?"

...

In the morning, after personally taking a Guiyuan Pill, Shen Qiang felt unbelievably wonderful.

Everything felt very comfortable.

After all, this Guiyuan Pill was the first pill that Shen Qiang had successfully refined after entering the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Recorded in the Medical Saint Inheritance:

In the Cultivation World, elixir pills are classified into six levels based on their effects, which are, from the lowest to the highest: Unrivaled, Ordinary, Top Grade, Supreme, and Immortal Grade.

Among them, the worst pills are naturally those of the Unrivaled grade, such as the Floral Dew Pill, Danxia Pill, Pomelo Pill, and Soapnut Pill; their uses are typically for alchemists to practice with, offering extremely limited benefits.

For instance, the Floral Dew Pill can repel mosquitoes, and its effect is roughly the same as a cheap bottle of mosquito repellent, and the Soapnut Pill can be used for washing hair, essentially equivalent to high-end shampoo.

They might be fun to play with, but using them seriously is ludicrous.

However, Ordinary elixir pills are a different story.

Ordinary elixir pills are the most numerous and most commonly used, basically covering all introductory-level pills in various aspects.

Detoxification, disease treatment, cultivation enhancement, energy recovery—these pills are available for all these purposes. Because they do not require high refining skills, in the Immortal Realm this grade of pills also blossoms like flowers, presenting a variety of odd pills. Just within the Medical Saint Inheritance, there are over 1,700 types of Ordinary grade pills documented.

For instance, the Guiyuan Pill that Shen Qiang refined is one of these 1,700+ Ordinary introductory elixirs.

Among them, there are both seemingly foolish pills like the Floral Dew Pill and Soapnut Pill, and highly practical pills like the Guiyuan Pill, Pei Yuan Pill, and Lifespan Extension Pill.

Higher-level pills are not only more powerful than Ordinary grade pills, but they also require more advanced refining techniques.

With each increase in level, not only does the pill's effect multiply, but it also possesses various incredible abilities.

However, at this time, Shen Qiang had just begun practicing alchemy, and aiming too high was obviously not in his nature.

Moreover, although the Guiyuan Pill is merely an introductory level pill, according to the standards of the Medical Saint Inheritance, it belongs to the Ordinary introductory level.

But fortunately, it is cost-effective, powerful, and widely applicable.

Moreover, an abundance of raw materials means that Shen Qiang can practice as much as he wants, which will undoubtedly improve his mastery in alchemy as he gains experience.

If everything goes well, by the time he reaches the Golden Core Stage, Shen Qiang's skills in refining Ordinary elixir pills will already be terrifyingly proficient.

Once Shen Qiang reaches the Nascent Soul Stage and possesses Divine Sense, he will not only be able to refine Ordinary elixir pills. By then, Shen Qiang will surely be able to refine Top Grade Spirit Pills!

Noon.

The same restaurant.

As soon as Shen Qiang sat down in the restaurant, the pretty chubby girl, Ding Yuhuan, arrived, but what was a bit strange was that the previously harmonious fat man did not come with Ding Yuhuan.

Sitting beside Shen Qiang, Ding Yuhuan seemed somewhat distracted.

Shen Qiang was slightly surprised and asked, "What's wrong? Did the morning's work not go smoothly?"

Ding Yuhuan was startled, then shook her head and said, "The work went very smoothly, but I just feel that He Pàngzi's bone-setting skills have completely surpassed my understanding. Do you know? He managed to stabilize fractures that would normally require complex surgeries with just his techniques, applying a splint and plaster, and then the patient could be discharged. This is simply unbelievably strong!"
