The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief-Chapter 638: Heading to the Medical Immortal Sect

"So, what does Mr. Liu mean...?" the Fifth Elder asked.

Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow: "I heard there’s a Ghost Gate Needle in the Medical Immortal Sect?"

Upon hearing those sensitive words, the Fifth Elder’s expression changed abruptly, and he scrutinized Liu Zixuan up and down: "Mr. Liu, the Ghost Gate Needle is an invaluable treasure of our sect. How do you know about it?"

"I guessed," Liu Zixuan shrugged. "The Medical Immortal Sect is one of the few National Medical Organizations in the Star Sea, and the Ghost Gate Needle is a national treasure. I figured the sect would surely have it. Seeing the Fifth Elder’s reaction, I must have guessed right!"

The Fifth Elder’s eyes shifted: "Indeed, our Medical Immortal Sect does possess the Ghost Gate Needle, but it’s a sect treasure and won’t be brought into these business negotiations regardless of the circumstances."

"No need to rush," Liu Zixuan waved his hand with a smile. "I never said I wanted you to use the Ghost Gate Needle as collateral; I just hoped to take a look at it when I go to the Medical Immortal Sect to collect herbs!"

"Just a look?" the Fifth Elder asked suspiciously.

Liu Zixuan nodded: "I have some knowledge of National Medicine, and naturally, I’m curious about this national treasure."

Upon hearing this, the Fifth Elder frowned and pondered for a moment: "Alright, I’ll inform the Great Elder to let you have a look at it!"

Liu Zixuan smiled slightly: "Great, let’s set aside the five million matter for now. When you manage to give me the entire five million, we can consider it settled. Now, let’s discuss the collaboration."

Both the Fifth Elder and Lu Bei behind him breathed a sigh of relief. If they hadn’t satisfied Liu Zixuan just now, their Medical Immortal Sect would have been truly doomed.

"Mr. Xiang, our herbs are divided into three grades. Premium herbs are mostly priced per plant, with an average of several hundred thousand per plant, totaling over twenty million. Mid-tier herbs have a market value of about ten million, and the lowest-grade herbs, though cheap, have a total value of over forty million."

Listening to the Fifth Elder, Xiangyang frowned: "So, if I were to collaborate with you and buy them all, it’d take almost a hundred million in funds?"

"Of course, and this is just for the herbs. To be honest, before heading out, the Great Elder instructed me that if Mr. Xiang has a suitable sales channel, we also have a batch of already prepared elixirs for various ailments that could sell at quite a high price each."

The Fifth Elder paused and continued: "Of course, this depends on whether Mr. Xiang can buy them all at once. After all, it’s not a small amount."

Xiangyang stroked his chin and pondered for a while, then said to Liu Zixuan: "Mr. Liu, I’m not very familiar with the herbs, and since you also need to select some herbs, why not go for an on-site inspection?"

"Sure," Liu Zixuan nodded. "Although this business isn’t massive, an on-site inspection is necessary to ensure there are no issues with the herbs."

"Rest assured, our herbs are from this year and absolutely have no issues," the Fifth Elder said with a proud smile. "Our Medical Immortal Sect has always guaranteed quality over the years!"

"If there are truly guarantees, it wouldn’t have abruptly lost its sales channels today, causing a break in the financial chain," Liu Zixuan retorted bluntly.

The Fifth Elder’s face turned red with embarrassment: "That’s entirely our fault. Our sect is filled with doctors who genuinely don’t understand business."

"No need for explanations; these aren’t within our consideration," Liu Zixuan glanced at his watch. "It’s still early, so let’s go over today. If it’s feasible, we’ll finalize today."

"That would be wonderful!" Not only the Fifth Elder but the entire Medical Immortal Sect couldn’t wait to quickly collaborate with Xiangyang to resolve their financial crisis.

With that, the Fifth Elder proactively settled the bill and led everyone outside.

At the entrance, a waiter suddenly approached Liu Zixuan: "Greetings, sir. Our boss asked me to give this to you."

Liu Zixuan took the note from the waiter’s hand: "Your boss? Who is it?"

"She said you’d understand once you read the note," the waiter responded and returned to his duties.

"What is it?" Bai Jingjing walked over to ask.

Liu Zixuan tucked the note into his pocket: "Nothing."

Right now, he couldn’t spare the time to read what was written on the note. Although curious, going to the Medical Immortal Sect was more important.

He needed to first identify which Ghost Gate Needle it was and then make corresponding plans. During this, he also needed to find some herbs to refine a few elixirs that could help Bai Jingjing boost her realm and stabilize her cultivation technique.

The group got into the car, heading north toward the foot of the mountains in Tianchen City.

Leaving the urban area, Bai Jingjing pointed at the landscape on one side and laughed: "Doesn’t it remind you of Lingxiu Village?"

Liu Zixuan glanced casually and smiled: "Lingxiu Village is far superior now! It’s one of the wealthiest villages in the whole region!"

"I haven’t visited since I left last time. I really miss Sister Lian’s cooking and little Doudou," Bai Jingjing pouted.

Liu Zixuan fell silent, as Bai Jingjing hadn’t returned since departing, and he hadn’t gone back since leaving Ghost Wood City for Celestial Capital, and now Qian Nan.

What Bai Jingjing missed was also what Liu Zixuan longed for.

Seeing Liu Zixuan’s silence, Bai Jingjing chuckled: "What? Did I make you miss them too?"

"It would be a lie to say I don’t miss them," Liu Zixuan grinned. "Let’s finish up the matters here quickly, and then we can return to Lingxiu Village together. It’s our home, a true paradise!"

Bai Jingjing nodded obediently: "Mm."

"Who would have thought a person like Mr. Liu came from a village," Xiangyang, beside them, remarked.

"Most heroes emerge from villages. In my view, villages are better—without the deceit and schemes of the city, that kind of life is truly pleasant!" Liu Zixuan laughed.

Xiangyang took a deep breath: "Yes, everyone hopes for such a simple life."

As they spoke, they arrived at the foot of the mountain, where they could see various buildings in the distance—mostly two-story pavilions—distinctive of Southern architectural style.

Xiangyang pointed at the buildings ahead: "That’s the headquarters of the Medical Immortal Sect, and to their right are all herb fields, both grown by themselves and by farmers from surrounding villages, making it the largest herb cultivation base in the South."
