The Transmigrated Pharmacist’s Counterattack

“Your abilities, does the Lin Family know?” Facing Lin Yi’s expectant expression, Pei Xuanqing asked.

Lin Yi hesitated for a moment but still answered truthfully, “They don’t know.”

To be honest, he felt a bit uneasy in his heart. He was afraid that because the Lin Family wasn’t aware, and Pei Xuanqing was, Pei Xuanqing would forever confine him in Heaven’s Query Courtyard. However, on second thought, the issue of whether the Lin Family knew or not wouldn’t make a difference. The Lin Family giving him to Pei Xuanqing was already leaving him to be dealt with by Pei Xuanqing. Surely that was also clear to Pei Xuanqing.

He was gambling, unable to see the path ahead. Pei Xuanqing was his only way now, and since that was the case, it was better to be honest. Either way, how much worse could it get?

But after waiting for Pei Xuanqing’s answer for a long time, Lin Yi was so anxious that he held his breath.

“If those four people completely recover, then our deal will begin.”

Finally hearing Pei Xuanqing’s answer, Lin Yi was overjoyed, “Okay, it’s settled……cough, cough, cough.”

Because he got too excited, he quickly gasped for breath and couldn’t stop himself from coughing several times in a row.

A warm palm stretched out from behind and patted his back, “Young Master Lin, there’s no need to be too excited. Whether the deal comes to be, depends on whether or not those prescriptions are effective.”

Lin Yi hurriedly said, “Don’t worry. As long as you follow the prescriptions, those four people will definitely recover.”

Although he spoke with certainty, Lin Yi’s heart still beat like a drum. In actuality, it was the first time he had taken out a prescription from the Pharmacopoeia……But this fact must not be discovered by Pei Xuanqing.

With the matter finished, Pei Xuanqing didn’t stay any longer. He took the prescriptions and the patients and had Shui Su and Qing Feng attend to Lin Yi’s recuperation.

“Hu——”

After Pei Xuanqing left, Lin Yi let out a sigh of relief. Taking this step, the deal was considered one-third complete. He also knew rashly exposing his abilities was very dangerous, but he had no choice. He could only hope that the prescriptions were truly effective and that Pei Xuanqing wouldn’t disappoint him.

“Hu…”

Almost at the same time, there was also the slight sound of a young and immature exhalation, so small that it was virtually unnoticeable, but Lin Yi still caught it.

“Who!”

Lin Yi immediately became vigilant. He had already heard this soft and immature, childlike voice several times. Once or twice might be considered a hallucination, but a third time?

“Eldest Young Madam, what’s the matter?” Shui Su came in from outside.

“Is there anyone else in the room?” Lin Yi asked with a sullen expression.

The first two times he heard this voice was at the Lin Residence, but now he was already in the Pei Residence. Who was following him secretly?!

“There is not. There is only your excellency and this slave in the room.” Replied Shui Su.

No one else? Impossible. Lin Yi’s first instinct was that Shui Su was lying to him, but after calming down, he thought that Shui Su had no reason to lie to him. Not only that, but he really didn’t find any other figures around……

Was it, not a human but some other creature?

Remembering, he knew that this was the Fengtian Mainland. Besides the human race, there were also many other powerful creatures……

Lin Yi shuddered, his voice trembling a bit, “Shui Su, is it possible that there could be other things hidden in this room, like monsters or ghosts?”

“Puchi,” Shui Su suddenly let out a laugh, “Eldest Young Madam, the Pei Residence has a barrier, so it’s impossible for those things you’ve mentioned to come in; otherwise, the Patriarch would have definitely noticed.”

Really? Lin Yi secretly let out a sigh of relief, but what was the explanation for the voice?

At present, that voice hadn’t made a sound again.

Lin Yi’s spirit stretched taut, and he paid more attention to any surrounding movements, not realizing that the Pharmacopoeia in his mind seemed to have caused some trouble. After secretly and cautiously fluttering its cover, it dared not move.

“Young Master, this prescription looks quite impressive. It not only lists the necessary medicinal materials in detail but also specifies the treatment steps and patient taboos during treatment. Is this… prescription written by Young Master Lin?”

Pei Qi held the prescription and thought it was unbelievable. Could Lin Yi really have the ability to treat illnesses? But this was too strange, right? Lin Yi was blind, so how could he write so neatly? Plus, one of the people among the patients had the Pharmacist Hall claim that he wouldn’t be able to live a few more years, so how come Lin Yi had a clear-cut treatment method?

“You only need to handle this matter well. Don’t ask about anything else.”

“This……Understood.”

“Also, order someone to strengthen Heaven’s Query Courtyard’s defenses, especially Lin Yi’s residence. Except for Shui Su and Qing Feng, no one else is allowed to approach. Arrest anyone suspicious without exception.”

“Understood.”

After speaking, Pei Xuanqing sunk into deep contemplation. Some lucky cultivators were able to meet fortuitous encounters that others could not. Some of these fortuitous encounters could bring enormous benefits to the cultivator themself, while others could bring little benefit, but regardless of the magnitude, these encounters were enviable. When his grandfather was young, he traveled to the Northern Continent and encountered several fortuitous encounters, eventually leading to his breakthrough into the Spiritual King Realm.

Lin Yi’s current situation resembled having met some extraordinary fortuitous encounter, but he was blind and had never left the Lin Residence……

Furthermore, was Lin Yi’s ability his own, or was it from some sort of magical tool treasure?

Pei Xuanqing was more inclined toward the latter, and since the magical tool never appeared, it should have already recognized Lin Yi as its master and concealed itself within his body. In addition, because Lin Yi had no cultivation, he was prone to suffering backlash after using the magical tool.

……It had to be said that Pei Xuanqing’s insight was sharp, and he’d already guessed most of it very well.
