Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. 🙂
Chapter 28. (1/2)
The most critical step for Gu Fan to open a shop is to apply for a professional qualification from the Drug Administration, that is, to get an official certification that she is qualified to make and sell medicines.
Although it is troublesome, Gu Fan understands this step. Otherwise, anyone can sell medicines at will. What if there is a problem with the medicines?
With the help of the Xinghe team, the small shop at the foot of the mountain was decorated on the same day. Next, Xinghe accompanied Gu Fan to the Drug Administration.
First, she had to prove that she was a wood-type mutant.
Then, she had to refine the various pills she wanted to sell on the spot.
These two steps are relatively simple. In the third step, the Drug Administration is responsible for testing the medicinal properties of these pills. If all the medicines are qualified, they will issue Gu Fan a professional qualification certificate.
“May I ask when I can get the certificate?”
“About fifteen working days, we will notify you when it is available.”
Gu Fan, a cultivator who has lived for a hundred years, felt that fifteen days were so long for the first time.
Xinghe comforted her: “Fifteen working days is fast. You can use this time to prepare more pills. The pharmacy has just opened, and there will definitely be a large number of customers coming after hearing the news.”
Gu Fan nodded.
Back at Phoenix Mountain, Gu Fan locked the pharmacy and hung a small blackboard in front of the door to inform customers that due to some procedures, the pharmacy will be officially opened on September 10th.
There are still more than 20 working days until September 10th, which should be enough.
After finishing these, Gu Fan went to the alchemy room to make pills. She had sufficient stocks of pills for sale. Now, she was making muscle-regenerating and blood-replenishing pills. Last time Lu Ya gave her too much Qinglin grass, Gu Fan’s storage jade bracelet was not easy to put. It would be better to finish refining early and return the large-capacity crystal core to Lu Ya early.
—
Gu Fan refined pills for two days. This morning, she received a call from the security guard saying that Mr. Sheng, who claimed to be the general manager of “Jiangnan Pharmaceutical” wanted to see her.
Sheng?
Gu Fan knew this surname.
There are five major families in Jiangnan Base, namely Lu, Li, He, Wang, and Sheng. When the five major families were established in Jiangnan Base, they all had one or even two S-level masters. Among them, the four masters, who mainly focused on attack and defense, formed their own armies to jointly maintain the safety of the base. Only the Sheng family, because they are good at healing but lack attack power, did not form an army but established the Sheng Pharmaceutical Group, which has hospitals, sanatoriums, and pharmacies and has almost mastered the most advanced treatment technology in the base.
Now, the head of the Sheng family is an A-level master of wood, gold, and fire, and his combat strength should not be underestimated.
Since the Xinghe team is more familiar with the situation of the Sheng family, Gu Fan immediately contacted Xinghe.
Unfortunately, Xinghe went out today, and only the taciturn Taishan and Qing Teng stayed in the villa.
Gu Fan felt it would be safer to bring more partners to meet a member of the Sheng family from a prominent family.
Taishan and Qing Teng were quiet, but when they heard that Gu Fan had something to do, they immediately came to Villa No. 1.
The three of them got in the car. Taishan acted as the driver, driving slowly. At the same time, Qing Teng operated the tablet and gave Gu Fan a detailed introduction: “The head of the Sheng family is Sheng Ruihua, 58 years old this year, serving as the chairman of the group, and rarely shows up. Sheng Ruihua has 17 children, three of whom are A-level superpowers, serving as general managers of Jiangnan Hospital, Jiangnan Pharmaceutical, and Jiangnan Sanatorium, respectively. Manager Sheng, who came here today, is his seventh son, Sheng Xi, who is 27 years old and a wood and fire superpower.”
Gu Fan: “Wait, you said Sheng Ruihua has 17 children?”
Qing Teng: “There’s nothing to be surprised about. When superpowers combine with ordinary people, the children born must be superpowers. The superpower attributes and levels have a certain randomness. Generally speaking, the higher the superpower level of the parents, the greater the probability of giving birth to high-level children. As far as I know, the clan leaders did not deliberately control the number of their descendants in the other four families. Take Marshall Lu, for example. He has over 20 uncles, aunts, and six or seven brothers and sisters. Because they are not as capable as he is, there are few rumors about them, but in fact, they all hold certain positions in the Lu Family Army. “
Gu Fan: …
Taishan rarely took the initiative to speak, saying: “In fact, it is also good for the base for these strong men to have more children. Unfortunately, there are too few S-level children. Among the young generation of the four major families, there are only Master Lu and his son, and Marshall Lu’s father has also died.”
Qing Teng: “I forgot to tell you that ordinary people in the base practice monogamy, and both men and women with special abilities can have polygamy or polyandry. The purpose is to increase the number of special abilities. “
Gu Fan thought about it, but there is nothing to be surprised about. This phenomenon also exists in the Xiuzhen Continent. However, the purpose is not as straightforward as that of the special abilities in the base.
“Why don’t you get married?” Gu Fan suddenly became curious about the marriage attitude of the Xinghe team.
Qing Teng said coldly: “I don’t want to be a burden to myself.”
Taishan: “You are only seventeen. You can’t find a partner even if you want to.”
Gu Fan: “Then why didn’t you and Xinghe find a partner?”
Taishan said: “Except for Lianying, the four of us are orphans from individual households. We don’t even know our family names. We are used to being single and don’t want to start a family.”
Qingteng: “Even among the superpowers in the base, not all of them are keen on having children. Lianying doesn’t want to, and his cousin Marshall Lu always seems to be single. I haven’t heard that he has married into any family.”
Gu Fan’s mind emerged with Lu Ya’s cold face when Lu Ya was mentioned. The snow on the top of the Fairy Peak was not as cold as him. Gu Fan could hardly imagine that he would get close to a woman and have a baby.
After popularizing the marriage and fertility status of the base, the topic returned to Sheng Xi, the general manager of Jiangnan Pharmaceutical.
Qing Teng: “They must be here for your medicine. You’ve been very successful in An City and are now opening a pharmacy. The news must have spread.”
Gu Fan thought so, too. Sheng Xi is going to buy her medicine.
They’ve reached the foot of the mountain.
