Chapter 54: Pharmacist
Chapter 54: Pharmacist
Pill, medicine, and poison were in the same family, and many principles were common to each other, but it was not that after mastering one of them, the other three could also be integrated.
Take the alchemist as an example. If one wanted to refine a pill, he must first have the ability to identify the spiritual plants and herbs and know what kind of plants and herbs could be combined to make what kind of pill.
Therefore, alchemists generally had certain research in medicine.
In addition, the pill that the alchemist refined was often not only used for cultivation, but might also be used to cure diseases and save people, or even poison others, so the alchemist had mastered the medical skills or poison skills to some extent.
However, pharmacists were more proficient in distinguishing medicinal materials or medicine and had a more thorough understanding of medicines. Some medicinal materials were not used for alchemy as the alchemist in this part might not learn, but pharmacists would study it carefully.
The same was true for pharmacists. Their methods of saving people were not limited to medicinal pills. They had various methods, and as long as they could save people, they would study any method.
Not to mention the poison. The methods of poisoning were all sorts of weird and varied methods, which were hard to prevent. This was not comparable to those who studied medicine.
Of course, Mo Xiu's level of alchemy was not to be said. Even if everyone in the audience did not know that he was Mo Xiu and only regarded him as Young Master Wuji, but there were always people who knew that he was proficient in alchemy.
But there were not many people who knew that he was a pharmacist and that he had deep research in medicine. If he hadn't taken the initiative to speak out at this time, it was estimated that no one in the entire Yan Country would know.
As for why he said that he was a pharmacist, it was actually very simple. Mo Xiu himself had deep research in pharmacology was just one of the reasons, and the more important reason was that the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce emerged from "medicine".
The pharmacist had a high status within the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, could win the respect of many people, and also had face externally.
Rainbow Chamber of Commerce also had many secret pharmaceutical recipes, which were in the hands of major families.
The secret medicines were kept very tightly, but they still couldn't escape Mo Xiu's divine detection.
Of course, Mo Xiu's research on medicines was countless times higher than those of these people. The so-called secret recipes of pharmacy didn't need to be seen by him at all, and he knew that even the prescriptions he casually took out were countless times better than these so-called secret recipes.
In the Yan Kingdom, if one wanted to be a pharmacist, he needed a certification, but the certification organization was not the pharmacist alliance because there was no pharmacist alliance.
Medical League, Poison League, and the like also didn't exist, and certification could only be granted via the Alchemy League.
Mo Xiu had heard of the power of the Alchemy League more than once, but he had never contacted anyone from the Alchemy League, so it was naturally impossible for him to be a pharmacist to be authenticated by the Alchemy League.
However, he didn't need to live by the identity of a pharmacist. He just joined the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce somehow, and if necessary, he could give guidance about medicines and such to the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce.
That said, it was okay to go for certification. After all, Li Zongbai, the alchemy master of the Kingdom of Yan, once asked the Alchemy League to prevent the warriors of the Kingdom of Yan from going to Sun Martial City to find Mo Xiu in trouble, so he still had a little bit of interest in this Alchemy League.
After discussing with several senior members of the Elder Council, Mo Xiu, the deacon of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, was finally determined.
However, this deacon was not an ordinary deacon as he did not need to do anything for the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce. Just like Su Qianqian said at the time, he could enjoy all the rights without having to perform obligations.
If his identity as a pharmacist could be certified by the Alchemy League, the Elders Council would be able to promote him to the elder of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce.
But for Mo Xiu, whether it was a deacon or an elder, it was the same thing anyway. It was completely unnecessary to say that it was necessary to work hard for this.
Because he was invited by Su Qianqian to join the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, the identity of Mo Xiu, a deacon, was still under the name of the Su Family, and he didn't have any comments on this.
After Su Qianqian's report to the Elder Council, she accompanied Mo Xiu back to the Su Family's mansion. On the way, she asked, "Young Master Wuji, do you need me to accompany you to get the pharmacist certification from Alchemy League?"
Mo Xiu did not immediately agree but said, "Alchemy League seems to be not very friendly to you, is it okay?"
"From Yang Lin's words, it's really not very friendly, but they won't be able to attack me openly," Su Qianqian shook her head slightly, "besides, I also want to observe and see their reactions after Yang Lin died."
"Well, then you will go with me then," Mo Xiu nodded in agreement.
Back at Su Family's mansion, Su Qianqian took off her veil for the first time.
The number one beauty in the Yan Country, this name was not exaggerated at all. It was not exaggerated to use some phrases like "make the fish sink and birds alight", "outshine the moon and put the flowers to shame", and "shake the city and cause the fall of a country" to describe her at all.
Mo Ruyi was already a rare beauty, but her temperament was still a little weaker than Su Qianqian.
As a former princess, Yan Ran's temperament was more outstanding than Su Qianqian, but her appearance was still slightly inferior to Su Qianqian.
It was no wonder that Su Qianqian always wore a veil when going out. Such an alluring posture was really not safe for people to see as it was easy to make people feel excited.
Although Mo Xiu looked at Su Qianqian more than once, he was not obsessed with her yet.
As the reincarnation of an old monster in the Realm of Heaven, he had seen too many beauties, so he didn't care about this beauty.
In fact, Su Qianqian deliberately took off her veil in front of Mo Xiu.
She felt quite confident about her appearance. She believed that even if Mo Xiu couldn't seduce him, she could still capture him for a short while.
However, Mo Xiu's reaction was beyond her expectation. It was not like seeing a beautiful woman at all. Instead, it seemed like he was looking at a lifeless doll, which made her feel a little frustrated.
"I will go to Alchemy League for certification tomorrow, and you will come to me when you are free," Mo Xiu said and walked away.
Su Qianqian watched Mo Xiu's figure drift away and muttered secretly, "Really a weird guy."
...
The next day, Su Qianqian put on the veil again and went out with Mo Xiu to the Alchemy League's residence in Yan Capital.
Because there were only two people, Su Qianqian didn't ride the Snow Mallow Beast with high profile this time but took a carriage with Mo Xiu.
Alighted from the carriage outside the Alchemy League's residence, and before entering, a voice suddenly rang, "Oh! Isn't this Su Qianqian, the first beauty of the Yan Kingdom? Why are you so free to come to the Alchemy League? You should know nothing about medical, or is it because I remembered it wrong?"
The Rainbow Chamber of Commerce had risen by "medicine". As the only Eldest Miss of the Su Family in the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, Su Qianqian had no knowledge of pharmacology. So this mockery was obvious.
However, Su Qianqian didn't really know nothing about pharmacology but failed to pass the Alchemy League certification to become a pharmacist.
Mo Xiu couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound and saw a woman not far away also got off the carriage and walked over here.
"Mu Qingqing, her father is the owner of the Mountain and River Medical Center and has some disputes with our Rainbow Chamber of Commerce," Su Qianqian whispered to Mo Xiu.
Mo Xiu still had some understanding about Mountain and River Medical Hall. It seemed that it was just a small medical hall, but it was actually a huge force comparable to the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce.
There was only one Mountain and River Medical Center in Yan Capital. The owner of that place was Mu Yannian. He was a well-known doctor in the Yan Country. Even many people in the surrounding countries had heard of Mu Yannian's name, and even run a special trip to Yan Capital to ask Mu Yannian for help.
Even if there was only one medical center, it could not be called a big power. However, Mu Yannian received seventy-two apprentices in his early years, and each apprentice had achieved quite a lot in medical skills. There were many people in Yan and even neighboring countries who opened a branch office of Mountain and River Medical Center.
Therefore, this Mountain and River Medical Center was really not simple.
More importantly, as a famous doctor of a generation, Mu Yannian had cured and saved countless people. It was not known how many people owed him the favor. Once Mu Yannian wanted to attack someone, few could really stop and escape from him.
As for the dispute between Mountain and River Medical Center and Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, although Mo Xiu didn't know much about it, he could guess a few. After all, one was a giant in the field of medicine and such, and the other was a chamber of commerce that relied on pharmaceutical secret recipes. If Rainbow Chamber of Commerce also began to set foot in the pharmaceutical field, the conflicts between the two sides were inevitable.
Mo Xiu was currently a member of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, but he had no grievances with Mu Qingqing and Mountain and River Medical Center, so he did not intend to be nosy.
However, Mu Qingqing quickly looked at Mo Xiu, "I heard that Su Qianqian fell in love with a man, and used her power to invite him to join the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce and become a deacon of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, is this man the one in the rumor?"
Su Qianqian didn't want to pay attention to Mu Qingqing, but when she heard Mu Qingqing say this, she became angry and couldn't help saying, "Mu Qingqing, don't talk nonsense, when did I fall in love with a man?"
"Heh! Could it be that the things that have been circulated in your Rainbow Chamber of Commerce in the past two days are fake?" Mu Qingqing showed a look of surprise, and immediately said, "but also, you, the number one beauty in Yan Country, should have really good eyes? But why do you fall for such an ordinary man?"
"Ordinary..." Su Qianqian couldn't help but glance at Mo Xiu.
Mo Xiu didn't say anything from beginning to end as if he hadn't heard Mu Qingqing's mockery at all.
"Um" Mu Qingqing suddenly realized, "I understand, you brought him to get the pharmacist certificate? I don't know if we can be grouped together. I will definitely help him if I have the opportunity. "
When it came to the word "help", Mu Qingqing's tone aggravated a bit, obviously did not have any good intention.
Without waiting for Su Qianqian to say anything, a dozen people came outside the Alchemy League station.
"Miss!"
The dozens of people saluted Mu Qingqing in unison.
Mu Qingqing nodded and ignored Su Qianqian. Instead, she said to the dozens of people, "Go in, you must be certified today," as he said, she brought the dozens of people inside.
Mo Xiu and Su Qianqian looked at each other and then entered the Alchemy League center together.
