Chapter 78 - Not Doing Anything

Normal people wouldnt have noticed the killing intent coming off the girl, but Lin Yi did the same kind of work that the girl did- he had that sixth sense in this regard, clearly sensing the killing intent.

But the girl wasnt yet aware of this.

Lin Yi was capable of almost perfectly concealing his killing intent after his years of intense training, and only a very minimal number of people had reached Lin Yis level in that regard.

Shaking his head, Lin Yi decided to leave the girl be- her apparel obviously served the purpose of laying her low in the crowd- the girl evidently didnt want anyone bothering her when on a mission, even if it were someone from the same profession. Lin Yi also understood the possibility of the two of them working for opposing factions, as well.

Excuse me, can you tell me what Golden Creation Medicine is? Lin Yi asked one of the assistants.

The assistant looked at Lin Yi as if he were an idiot, as if the question was so ridiculously naive she couldnt believe it. Her answer didnt seem very enthusiastic, as a result. Obviously surgical medicine that heals wounds. Were out of those.

Lin Yi smiled bitterly in response, thinking that the medicine was probably a recently invented one. Very popular too, it seemed.

The assistant didnt care much about Lin Yis question, but someone else did. An old woman started explaining to Lin Yi right after he turned away from the assistant, passionately interested in answering his question.

Young man, you dont even know about Golden Creation? You must know of the Doctor Kang, the miracle doctor of Eastern medicine, dont you? Hes the best in his field! The old lady started detailing information about Doctor Kang. Golden Creation Medicine is something that Doctor Kang made, a fast healing medicine that completely heals the wound, and most importantly- not leaving any scars behind! Amazing, isnt it?

Woah, it does sound amazing. Lin Yi was impressed by the work of this miracle doctor- it seemed on par with the medicine LIn Yi was about to make himself.

Yes! Ive heard that theres a legendary recipe for it, and that the majority of Golden Creation is shipped off to the military in priority due to how effective it is. Only a small portion is sent to the peoples pharmacies, so the supplys always real tight! The old woman continued. Its almost impossible for you to find any in a pharmacy- My nieces boyfriends third sisters younger aunts fifth cousin is a manager of a chain pharmacy, and Id only managed to get myself a bottle of Golden Creation because of that connection! The stocks all sold out by the time the shipping arrives at the inside circles, theres no way theyd even make it to the shelves for sale!!

Is that so? Lin Yi wasnt too surprised at how hot-selling the medicine was, especially with how this old woman was describing it. It must be quite the medicine.

Of course!! Especially for young girls- scars on their pretty skin is the last thing theyd want, how ugly would that be? Theyre not particularly after how fast the restoration effects are, the point here is that there wont be any scars after the wounds heal up! The old woman said, barraging Lin Yi with more explanation. Ive also heard that people dont gift gold and jewelry to others anymore, its all Golden Creation nowadays!

Hmm... I see! Thanks for explaining, but I dont think Ill need that. Lin Yi said with a smile.

Thats true, young men like you dont need that kind of stuff! The old woman nodded in agreement, evidently misunderstanding Lin Yis point. Hed meant that he could make his own medicine- there was no need for him to buy any at all.

Lin Yi, naturally, didnt bother explaining that little detail to the woman. He went back to the Eastern medicinal herb counter- his listing had been weighed and prepared, and was now handed to him in sorted and sealed packets.

Lin Yi gave them a quick check, and found that two of them were a little bit deteriorated, most likely because of how long itd been on the shelves. Helpless, Lin Yi decided to get himself more of those types, so as to outweigh the lack in quality with numbers.

He inspected the equipment and tools he had ordered, and packed everything up after finishing his business at the pharmacy.

Both Eastern and Western medicine were hot-selling at this time of the year, leaving raw ingredients like these in the dust. There wasnt a lot of demand for them, and that was also the reason why Lin Yi was able to walk out from the pharmacy with them so quickly.

Lin Yi didnt plan on rushing to school- he was marked as absent anyway. It was the same if hed decided to skip the whole day, and Lin Yi thought hed go find a place to make the medicine before going to class.

Something like this, naturally, couldnt possibly take place in school. Mengyaos villa was out of the question, as well- the two girls would go crazy if Lin Yi filled the place up with the smell of Eastern medicine. The best way to go about it was getting himself a private room to work in.

With that idea in mind, Lin Yi decided to walk around in search of a hotel.

Hm? Lin Yi noticed the girl from the pharmacy, lying in a puddle of her blood in an alleyway.

Lin Yi frowned at the sight- he didnt want to butt into other peoples business, but there wasnt a lot of possible help thatd come her way, not in a remote alley like this. Even if someone were to come along, theyd most likely be unwilling to help- Itd bring nothing but needless trouble if the girl died in their care.

Lin Yi continued hesitating as he considered his position- he was on a mission himself! Furthermore, those who undertook missions involving these sorts of consequences were always mentally resolved for sacrifice. Lin Yi understood that the girl would die sooner or later from the blood loss if he left her alone.

That was just how things were, sometimes Involving himself with this encounter would undoubtedly bring him a series of trouble, especially considering the identity of the girl. She wasnt just some random person shopping for groceries or anything.

Lin Yi gritted his teeth as he steeled his resolve, walking quickly past the girl and only shooting her a glance out of pity as he passed. Hang in there.

A couple steps later, however, Lin Yi froze in his tracks. Wait

Lin Yi spotted something familiar in that glance earlier, something hed seen somewhere before

He turned back and went to the girls body for a closer look, focusing her gaze on a ring the girl wore on her pinky.

Lin Yi sighed upon identifying the patterns on the ring. He pressed his fingers against her wrist- it still had a beat. He then proceeded to lift the girl up and carry her on his back.

The girl had fainted from blood loss, but Lin Yis movements activated her reflexes. Her body struggled a bit in an attempt to defend herself from what she subconsciously perceived to be an attack.

Lin Yi made sure no one was watching before running back the direction he had come from, the girl on his back.
