Fu Xian was unsure then he told the three of his matter "To be honest, seniors, today I mainly wanted to see whether there was a medical professional here…"
Just as he said this, a voice sounded behind them "I heard someone said medical professional?"
A young man of elegant stature, wearing a pink robe and fanning his fan, entered the hall and walked towards them.
"Miaoyu, do you really still cling to the title of medical professional? We all know your famous reputation-" Puyan laughed when he saw him, but was abruptly stopped by a swirl of wind, his mouth closed.
"What do you mean my famous reputation? I am a clean and pure person, simply selling essence enhancing lotions…"
Longbao on the side nodded "Indeed, very pure, very clean, and very good essence enhancement!"
Fu Xian had a bad feeling but he still cupped his hands at Miaoyu "Greetings, senior brother!"
"Haha, don't worry, these guys are just joking. Miaoyu's profession is a Spiritual Doctor, and his secondary profession… or rather, his specification is to make various 'Lotions'.
But don't look down on him, when it comes to essence enhancement, many physical cultivators buy his products and use them in battle!"
"See? I knew my sister Jiming is the kindest and most loyal! She has a lot experience with my other lotions!" Miaoyu said, interlocking arms with Jiming while laughing, patting her arm as if thanking her for the praise.
Fu Xian, who saw this, instantly understood but didn't comment. Who didn't know that in medicine, various 'essence enhancing' and 'sensitive' products generated huge income! He respected everyone who could enter such a 'vicious' branch and succeed.
Just one mistake might earn the wrath of countless people, but if your products were of a higher quality, you would have people line up to buy them!
He cupped his hands "Senior brother's profession is truly astonishing! Spiritual doctors are famous everywhere! I heard to enter this profession, you need a lot of hard work and countless hours of study, even more so than talisman!"
At least when learning talisman, the first part was learning spells, which was a bit more practical. Once you draw talisman, even when the success rate initially is low, you still recoup some of your losses…
Meanwhile, before a medical product is finished, it requires endless investment, and the final product might not even be as good as basic ones on the market.
"Mhm, our little talisman drawer here can speak well! Alright tell me, Miaoyu, what you need! Even if I don't have it, I can at least give you a prescription. We spiritual doctors are a long lineage, combined from the professions of a Herbalist, Pharmaceutical and Medical Practioner, we master various crafts and are masters of healing and recovery!"
Fu Xian nodded, this was a long orthodox lineage. Even though its creation was different from the five most prominent, after so many years, it has become equally famous.
He told him the issue "To be honest, I am practicing a secret art that improves comprehension of spiritual inspirations. Senior brother and sisters might have heard of such techniques. We spell masters and talisman drawers have to master many inspirations to draw many kinds of talismans.
After all, most talisman techniques are combinations of different talismans. If I were to just draw the same talisman kind all over, then I would be very limited.
For this secret art, I have to recover 'Spirit', 'Essence' and 'Qi', all three."
Fu Xian knew that with his specification, he could do well in the early stages by focusing on various recovery talisman, but he would start struggling over time. People preferred pills and potions for recovery.
Wood and water didn't have strong offensive nor defensive talisman. Talisman are mostly used in battle, so most people preferred fire offensive talisman, earth defensive talisman, or wind movement talisman…
Of course this was mainly still an excuse, he mainly had to recover to give the Gu art to Teigu. The rest was stuff he could take care of later.
"Preparing early, that's a good mindset!" Miaoyu nodded then thought about it.
A moment later, he replied "I saw you had a weak body but thought you had just advanced, now it seems you used your technique once already!
Recovering the essence is easy. I've mastered several products, prescriptions and even techniques. To recover the Qi, I recommend buying a potion, called 'True Origin Qi Recovery Potion', it's a bit expensive, but our alchemists have some in stock. We have quite a few fighters who buy them regularly, so the neighbourhood price is rather low.
After all, most fighters have a few secret techniques that use origin to improve their power shortly, so having them in stock is common for various neighbourhoods. If you have a membership at a shop alliance, then you might also be able to buy it from them.
As for the last, the recovery of spirit…" he frowned, thinking deeply.
"This is a troublesome matter. Few use their spirit origin in such techniques, and even if they do, they are usually some comprehension enhancement techniques like yours, which is why the price is rather expensive…"
"Hehe, Miaoyu, you're forgetting me!" Jiming chimed in on the side.
Miaoyu instantly understood and smiled "That's true, haha, how could I forget!
Right, you're only at the third stage. To be honest, over time, most of the creation artists in our neighbourhood have reached the fourth stage one after another. The three of us are even close to the fifth stage!
It's because, at the start, senior Ruan mainly invited us.
Senior Ruan himself is a fighter mainly and knows that fighters die every day. He didn't want to invite someone only for the courtyard to be empty after a year, so he mainly invited creation arts masters of the third stage and even invested in us.
After so many years, most have advanced and paid everything back. The fighters on the other hand only joined later, and the true seniors among these… of the over thirty, only ten are of the fourth grade, and of these, only three are old members like we.
Anyways, getting back to the topic. Since you're also a third stage cultivator, it's rather easy for us to help you recover.
Jiming here is a dancer and singer, each of her dances and songs have different effects. There are several that improve the spirit, and of course there are those that recover it.
There are even some singers that specifically work in hospitals, singing lullaby's and such to aid recovery."
Jiming nodded "That's true. Just next week, we have a performance that has various spirit improvement and recovery dances and songs, with many people participating.
Usually as a third stage cultivator, it would be difficult for you to enter…
But I will give you my special invitation. You don't need to worry, I get one for every show and I mostly sell them. You can just give me the price for the ticket later."
"Senior sister…" Fu Xian thanked her quickly, his smile wry.
"Oh you don't have to worry junior brother Fu." Longbao on the side explained when he saw him "As the saying goes 'A person might flee but their temple can't leave'. As a member of our neighbourhood, it's fine if you take things first and pay later.
Haha, most of us keep a list of payments and loans, just make sure to sign. If there's really an issue, you can go to senior Ruan to settle the matter.
If you were a fighter, borrowing things right away would be an issue… but since you're a creation arts master, you naturally have higher credibility."
Fu Xian thanked them all "Thank you all senior brothers and sisters for your generosity!"
Jiming smiled and took a piece of paper – it was a contract. Fu Xian read the matters and saw that they were usual, the price even said "Market Price", which meant he could later check the price and pay that.
Right afterward, Puyan also took a piece of paper and offered it to him. The content was basically the same, just this time it was a medical bath set, the price also according to the normal market price.
Finally, Puyan even pulled out a potion from his ring and said "I have one with me. Although I wanted to use it for something later… I can just give this to you and borrow one later, no worries!"
Fu Xian felt warm at heart and quickly signed the third contract, taking the potion, a small bag of refined materials with a paper of instructions, and finally a jade-gold invitation.
