Chapter 87: Pill Request (2)
"Ahem... Fellow vigers." Qin Lan made his first actual public appearance to the people in this vige after both cultivators left the broken shack.
"I believe everyone knew that I recently move in after getting the Vige Chief''s approval to live inside this humble shack. I won''t be bothering everyone too long, but if you need some help with pill refining, cksmithing, and medicine, feel free to give my door a knock." Qin Lan cupped his fist together and introduced himself to the vigers outside his ce.
"As my token of gratitude for the Vige Chief''s kindness, would all vigers mind to step forward to collect some health supplement medicine for yourself and your family? I can guarantee their effect of boosting blood cirction, sleep, and health." Qin Lan then shook his hand a little.
A Medical Cauldron instantly appeared on his palm, with a lingering fragrance of ginseng, lingzhi, wolfberry, mountain herbs, and many supplementary ingredients mixed together.
There are about a hundred pills in the cauldron. Each of them refined into perfection.
"We..." the vigers wanted to step forward to collect their part, but their wariness toward Qin Lan made them hesitates.
"What are you all waiting for? Go forward and take one. I can vouch for this master alchemist''s skill." the Vige Chief''s quickly followed after he noticed there''s nobody dare to take a step forward.
"Vige Chief," Qin Lan cupped his hand together and greeted him. Including today, it was his third time meeting this chief in person. He''s also the fatherly person who med Sun Wu Jian for not trying his best to save his kid when they returned to Fuyun City.
And to a father that recently lost his only child, seeing Qin Lan and his confused pair of eyes on the night before made him remembered his deceased son.
Out of kindness, he agreed to house Qin Lan in this vige for a short time while allowing him to find his path once more. And in return for his kindness, Qin Lan gave the Vige Chief a proper body massage to unblock his blood vessels.
That''s also where the confidence in Qin Lan''s skills came from.
"Since Vige Chief already gives us his words, let''s go and get a pill for yourself. Those who had a sick parent should also collect an extra for them when leaving." the viger that witnesses Qin Lan''s pill refining twice said.
An organized line is then formed as the vigers collected the health supplement pill. Some of them took it on the spot as they started to meditate on the grasnd beside Qin Lan''s shack. As for those that didn''t do so, they left quickly to bring the medicine home.
"Ah! There''s a fire burning in my belly button!" a young child about ten years old was the first to notice the effect of Qin Lan''s supplement medicine. As he was not as experienced as the other adults in cultivation, he quickly found out that the sensation is both enjoying and intolerable.
The enjoyable part of the burning sensation made him felt stronger. But at the same time, the itchiness that apanied the burning sensation is irritating, especially to a young child.
Looking at how the child struggling to not scratch here and there, Qin Lan came to his side and fed two Jewel Lotus Fruit into his mouth. The sweetness acts as a temporary soothing medicine in the child''s mind, allowing him to preserve it a little longer.
"Everyone, open your mouth," Qin Lan noticed that those who cultivated on the spot also started to have the same symptoms as the child does. As a little sweetness and supplement of Spiritual Energy is good while meditating, Qin Lan repeated what he did to the child at everyone with a flick of his finger.
The Heavenly Flicking Finger used by Qin Lan made the Vige Chief''s jaw dropped as a twist of his hand is all Qin Lan needs to feed the Jewel Lotus Fruit to fifty or so vigers.
"Is this the means of a youngster five or six years old younger than my own son? No wonder he''s able toe back from the expedition, but not my son..." the Vige Chief thought.
The effect of the medicine went out after one-third of the time an incense stick takes to burn.
A pinkish hue is soon noticeable on the viger''s cheek as the medicinal properties finally seep into their bodies and nourish their health from the inside.
It was like they were given an all-in-one medicine with tons of miraculous properties. Some gave out a fart on the spot due to their irregr bowel movement, and some felt younger or energetic.
The ce outside of Qin Lan''s broken shack was soon filled with noises from the vigers who started to share how they felt after taking Qin Lan''s health supplement medication.
His broken shack is filled with the food made by the vigers that night. To the poor and frugal vigers, presenting homemade food was the mostvish act they''re capable of doing as an act of gratitude to another person.
Things changed on the third day morning as more people gathering outside of Qin Lan''s broken shack. While most of them are here to request a pill refining service, a few of them actually came with their broken tools as they asked for Qin Lan''s cksmithing help.
It was also the first time an iron forge and a pill refining workshop is located at the same ce. Furthermore, Qin Lan never failed to impress them each time he refines something.
Each and every iron tool he worked with end up bing sturdier and sharper. As for the medicinal herbs they''ve brought over, it was now permanently stored inside Qin Lan''s shack to allow him to refine anything up to his mood.
A weekter, Qin Lan''s broken shack transformed.
There are more than twenty types of medicinal pills stored inside the building to benefit the vigers. While on the back of the house is where an ironwork forge rest.
"Master Qin, thank you for bringing so many things to our small and humble vige." the Vige Chief thanked Qin Lan from the deep of his heart.
"Vige Chief, this is just my way of showing my gratitude. Thank you for willingly epting me as a member of the vige during this period." Qin Lan said.
