Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 819: The Rebound (Part 2)

Chapter 819 -819: The Rebound (Part 2)

As he walked out of Mercy World Hall, Zhu Fengchun couldn’t help but glance back at the sign hanging over the entrance of the medical clinic.

The three golden characters for “Mercy World Hall” shone brilliantly.

But in the eyes of the Store Manager of Rejuvenation Hall, they were filled with anger and venomous grievance.

His negotiations with Wang Chen had fallen through.

Although Wang Chen had given ground, Zhu Fengchun couldn’t make promises on behalf of the many peers in Taiwu City.

The ordinary families’ businesses also generated considerable profits; there was absolutely no reason for them to give up and let Mercy World Hall devour everything.

However, Wang Chen refused to yield further, his words showing no regard for Zhu Fengchun, the Store Manager of Rejuvenation Hall!

Zhu Fengchun felt subjected to an unprecedented humiliation.

However, cautious of Wang Chen’s identity as a cultivator, he didn’t break into open confrontation then and there but secretly made up his mind.

“Just you wait and see!”

And no sooner had Zhu Fengchun left, a young man with an efficient demeanor approached Wang Chen and said, “Immortal Master, this Zhu Fengchun has quite some influence. If he doesn’t achieve his goal, he certainly won’t let it go easily.”

“It’s all right.”

Wang Chen smiled and said, “Let him use whatever tricks he has, I’ll take them all!”

To the young man, he said, “Mo, in the next few days, I need to focus on alchemy, so you’ll need to put a bit more effort into watching over the clinic.”

The young man was also from the Mo Family and was Mo Han’s cousin, sent by Mo Han to serve Wang Chen, attending to him diligently.

While Mo was quite young, he was shrewd and capable and possessed a good understanding of the medical trade, so Wang Chen entrusted him with the day-to-day operations of Rejuvenation Hall, allowing himself to concentrate on the creation of pills undistracted.

Mo patted his chest and said, “You can count on me!”

The next few days passed smoothly, except that the number of people coming to Mercy World Hall seeking medical consultation continued to rise.

Since the number of tickets issued each day was limited, and in a situation where demand outstripped supply, the Scalper Party actually appeared.

But Wang Chen had anticipated this and had the martial master responsible for distributing the tickets give them directly to the patients, then match ticket to person, and anyone whose ID didn’t match their ticket was refused entry to the clinic, with their place in the line also forfeited.

Wang Chen went to great lengths to earn merit; it wasn’t for the Scalper Party to profit from.

And would the patients who paid high prices feel grateful to him?

Even if they did, it couldn’t be by much!

The Scalper Party was a minor issue and not difficult to resolve, but those peers whose interests had been affected were not so easy to deal with.

The backlash from Zhu Fengchun and others appeared very quickly!

“Immortal Master.”

Inside the alchemy room, Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, “You were right, the major drugstores in the city have stopped selling us medicinal materials, and a few have raised their prices by three to four times!”

The medical and pharmaceutical fields are inseparable; you can’t treat illnesses and heal injuries without drugs, and there are mainly two sources for medicinal herbs in Taiwu City.

One is wild herbs, gathered from the wilderness, and the second is cultivated in herb gardens.

The efficacy of the two sources differs greatly, but the latter has the advantage in having a reliable and abundant supply.

Most of the herb gardens are outside the city, and they are basically controlled by the large families and enterprises. Mercy World Hall can only purchase the materials needed for pill concoction through the drugstores.

The current actions of the drugstores are tantamount to strangling Mercy World Hall by the throat.

But how could Wang Chen not be prepared?

“It’s all right.”

Wang Chen said calmly, “Let’s go check the situation with the Medicine Manor.”

Several days ago, Wang Chen had taken out a large sum of Purple Gold Coins and had commissioned the Mo Family to send people to other cities to purchase medicinal materials.

The pills he had concocted and the materials he had previously stockpiled were enough to sustain Mercy World Hall for a long time.

So Zhu Fengchun’s tactics were useless.

But Wang Chen’s real plans weren’t in Taiwu City—Mercy World Hall was too small.

A mere clinic with three to five physicians, how much merit could it really earn?

From the very beginning when he established Mercy World Hall, he had planned to buy up a large amount of land outside the city to cultivate various medicinal herbs.

Not only that, Wang Chen was also prepared to move Mercy World Hall to the medicine manor outside the city and at the same time build an even larger medicine workshop.

These tasks had been ongoing!

Thanks to Wang Chen’s willingness to spend money, Purple Gold Coins dropped like they were nothing, quickly advancing the construction of the medicine manor. Thousands of mu of medicinal fields were also filled with different herbs, meticulously cared for by experienced herbal farmers.

Zhu Fengchun and his allies held great influence, but they couldn’t extend their reach to these remote areas outside the city.

Unless they resorted to military confrontation.

But the last thing Wang Chen feared was battle!

Not only that, he also built an academy next to the medicine manor.

White Deer Academy.

Once this academy was completed, it would admit a large number of poor students to study literature and martial arts, not only waiving tuition fees but also providing lunch and dinner, with substantial rewards for those who excelled in their studies!

Healing people, cultivating talent, Wang Chen intended to initiate a humanitarian surge in this world, propelling himself straight to the top!

Apart from Hu Jiaojiao, no one knew his grand ambitions.

But many watched, agape and speechless, as Mercy World Medicine Manor and White Deer Academy were completed and began their operations.

Hundreds of impoverished patients received treatment, and an even greater number of poor students received the opportunity to change their destinies.

Wang Chen had hired a large number of experienced physicians and martial masters, building a large hospital and a vocational education school outside Taiwu City, benefiting countless families in and outside the city!

During this period, there were many setbacks, but Wang Chen easily resolved them with his substantial wealth and strength.

However, the continuous expansion of Mercy World Medicine Manor and White Deer Academy began to unsettle certain individuals!

“Immortal Master Jiyun…”

Inside a secret chamber of Green Cloud Palace at Green Cloud Peak, Zhu Fengchun pleaded with a gloomy face to the cultivator sitting on the cloud couch: “If you don’t intervene to uphold justice, our clinics and pharmacies won’t be able to continue operating!”

The Store Manager of Rejuvenation Hall looked to have lost several dozen pounds compared to last year, his robustness replaced with frailty, and the aura of an Innate Martial Artist had dimmed considerably, appearing somewhat pitiable.

Although his words were somewhat exaggerated, they were not too far from the truth.

Currently, Mercy World Medicine Manor employed over a hundred physicians, and they were also training new physicians. They attended to thousands of patients daily, snatching the business of big and small clinics and pharmacies throughout the city.

Before, Zhu Fengchun had allied with the city’s medicine shops to cut off Mercy World Hall’s supply of medicinal herbs, only to find that the latter bought herbs from outside sources and even established their own medicinal fields, turning their boycott into a joke.

Wang Chen offered very high salaries, attracting many physicians who flocked to join Mercy World Hall.

In the past year, Zhu Fengchun had exhausted all means to deal with Mercy World Hall.

Not a single one had been successful.

His losses were substantial, and grievances were rampant amongst the other clinics and pharmacies. The alliance against Mercy World Hall could barely hold together.

Left with no other option, Zhu Fengchun could only use his connections to approach Green Cloud Palace.

Hoping the Immortal Master before him would uphold justice.

“Wang Chen!”

Mage Jiyun let out a cold snort, his waxen face filled with a vengeful hue: “I understand, go back and wait for the show.”
