Chapter 747: Setting Up Elixir Pavilion

The change from herbs to elixirs was a qualitative one, and most importantly, it would maximize the effects. Moreover, it might be possible to refine a single stalk of herb into various elixirs, changing it from saving one person to 10!

The difference was just astronomical!

Furthermore, some herbs had violent medicinal properties and would harm the body if directly consumed. However, that issue could be mitigated during the refining step, removing the side effects!

He was surprised that the little dream he had for refining elixirs did come true via Chinese Medicine. His herb garden would soon be given a super important role.

Ye Lingchen smiled faintly. It was not the time for him to flaunt it yet. The appearance of elixir refining would break the balance of the world at that time. Even if the Warrior’s Department let it slide, the other powerhouses in other countries would grow jealous and cause him a lot of trouble.

Step by step. He would start by silently consuming the elixirs meant for cultivation by himself and make it public in the future when he grew stronger. He needed to grow and develop his strength in secret for the time being.

After this round, the number of his basic skills increased drastically and reached a total of 20.

Refining: Defense (Basic), Bird Language (Basic), Diatribe (Basic), Heavenly Sound (Basic), Water Spirit Constitution (Basic), Dragon Seeking Formula (Basic), Poison Immunity (Basic), Bug Language (Basic), Touch of Death (Basic), Fish Language (Basic), Windwalk (Basic), Bear Language (Basic), Cow Language (Basic), Pig Language (Basic), Elephant Language (Basic), High-Level Intelligence (Basic), Refining: Offense (Basic), Breath Control (Basic), Alchemy (Basic).

Although they were only basic skills, their usefulness was undoubtedly significant. It allowed Ye Lingchen’s overall strength to undergo a qualitative transformation.

11 basic skill lucky draws had only used 1.1 million of his popularity points. He still had 25 million points remaining, making the consumption insignificant.

Basic skill lucky draws were cheap, but Ye Lingchen did not plan to splurge everything into it. The more skills he upgraded, the lower the chance for him to get the skill he wanted. Since he had gotten Chinese Medicine, then the basic skill lucky draw ought to come to an end for the time being.

Ye Lingchen’s gaze fell upon the intermediate skills: Dog Language (Intermediate), Aura Divination (Intermediate), Dragon-Catcher Hand (Intermediate), Gastronomy (Intermediate), Cultivation (Intermediate).

The main focus was naturally Cultivation, which he stood a 20% chance of getting.

At that point, he had too many basic skills. If he opted for the intermediate skills upgrade, then he would have more intermediate skills. Following that, the chances of him getting Cultivation during the advanced skill upgrade would be even lower. Therefore, he planned to skip over the intermediate skill upgrade for the time being.

25 million popularity points was only sufficient for two attempts at upgrading his advanced skills!

‘If that’s the case...let it begin!’

The dark golden glow started moving and came to a stop with a faint “Ding” sound.

Dog Language (Intermediate)!

A bright light flashed across it as it was upgraded into the advanced level.

‘Dog Language (Advanced): You can now communicate with all canines without any barrier.’

‘This again?!’

He already had advanced Cat Language, and now he had advanced Dog Language as well!

He was really confused by the difference between the intermediate and advanced level for languages. He did not feel any different after the upgrade and could only hope that he would not be disappointed with it.

There was another chance. One more time!

Ye Lingchen gritted his teeth and chose to continue.

‘Ding!’

‘Dragon-Catcher Hand (Advanced): Manifest your Qi into a claw to grab your opponents from afar!’

When it was at the intermediate level, it was only able to pick up items through the air. However, at the advanced level, it was able to grab other people through the air. The difference was night and day. Although he did not get Cultivation, it still gave him a decent boost in strength.

With only three intermediate skills, he needed to collect more popularity. Next time, the chances of him getting Cultivation would be much higher.

Exiting the system, Ye Lingchen grimaced and shook his head. When it came to advanced skill upgrades, his popularity points were gone in an instant. In the blink of an eye, he only had five million points remaining.

After that, Ye Lingchen walked directly to the Elixir Pavilion. Its interior had a grand design, with a lot of things being automated. It was unlike a production facility. Instead, it seemed a lot more luxurious than the other office buildings.

“Chairman Ye.”

“Chairman Ye.”

Along the way, various people within the Elixir Pavilion greeted Ye Lingchen. They were all wearing uniforms as they were the employees in charge of production.

The way they looked at Ye Lingchen was filled with respect. It was not a facade, but rather a respect coming from the bottom of their hearts. As a medical practitioner, their aim was to save people and Ye Lingchen had undoubtedly presented those qualities.

Just the Canine Bane Pill alone had saved countless people and families. In their eyes, apart from being highly skilled in medicine, Ye Lingchen was comparable to a messiah.

Moreover, Ye Lingchen also knew that many of his employees had applied to work there online. Some of them even had high status and impressive medical skills. However, they still made the choice to join him and gave up the status and benefits they enjoyed previously.

Why did they come over?

It was to save more people. When they heard that Elixir Pavilion’s production was limited due to lack of personnel, countless people chose to offer their help without any hesitation!

With each extra helping hand, they would be able to produce more Canine Bane Pill in a day and save more lives. That was their motivation!

In fact, they did not even think about the compensation they would be paid for. They only focused on saving more people by joining him. Those people were all pure of heart!

Furthermore, there was their passion toward medicine. Elixir Pavilion’s medical knowledge was far beyond the world’s level. Many big names in the medical field came after hearing the news. They were even willing to take up the menial tasks, all for the chance of improving themselves.

Of course, no matter how much of a genius they were, they were no match for Ye Lingchen. That was why Ye Lingchen was not at all worried that those people would leave him as he had an endless wealth of knowledge to keep them around.

Naturally, entering the Elixir Pavilion required them to go through Dong Miaomiao’s filtering. Upon successfully joining the Elixir Pavilion, the benefits were quite attractive. It came with basic salary, insurance, year-end bonus, and other benefits well above the market rate. Most importantly, staying at the Elixir Pavilion would be a great training ground for them, giving them great renown.

At that time, if one told the public that he worked in the Elixir Pavilion, who would not give him a thumbs up and offer great respect?

Because of those reasons, Ye Lingchen’s status within the Elixir Pavilion was surprisingly high. Everyone respected him from the bottom of their hearts.

Ye Lingchen greeted everyone with a smile on his face. The Elixir Pavilion was almost done setting up. Meanwhile, the production volume of the Canine Bane Pill had finally caught up to its demands. It was barely sufficient for the supply within China’s borders.

Ye Lingchen went on without stop, headed directly to the inner sections of the Elixir Pavilion.

“Chairman Ye.”

Dong Miaomiao came up and greeted him. She had a stack of documents in her hands. “These are the contracts from various countries trying to acquire the dealership rights of our products.”

Once they acquired the dealership, that would allow them to monopolize the market within their own country and gain incredible profits. It was only natural that many foreign companies were fighting for those rights.
