I Have Medicine

Chapter 2- A Deadly Mission

In a moment, a cultivation method suddenly appeared in Gu Zuo's mind. It was called the <<Divine Medicine Cultivation Method>>.

However, this cultivation method didn't seem complete. While there was only an introductory chapter, it was already quite profound. Even though Gu Zuo was an intelligent modern-day teenager, how could he possibly grasp the concept of such mysteries?

Gu Zuo grimaced.

If he couldn't understand, how could he cultivate? Since this system was given to him, it should also be the most suitable for him. If he wasn't able to learn, would this affect his ability to refine medicine in the future?

He just got here and already he'd been beset by too many problems. Even with the system, it wasn't easy at all...

The system didn't wait for Gu Zuo to ask any questions before it issued a mission.

[Cultivation Mission: Gather thirty strands of medicinal qi.]

[Mission Items: <<Primary Medicine Refining Hand Seals>> <<Human-Level Medicinal Pill Catalog>> <<Human-Level Medicinal Decoction Formulas>> <<Human-Level Medicinal Cuisine Recipes>>.]

[Mission Objective: Study the information in the mission items. When refining medicine, medicinal qi will be released and this system will collect it automatically.]

[Completion Time: One month.]

[Failure Penalty: Obliteration.]

Great, at least it spoke clearly.

Gu Zuo still felt very anxious.

This maddening pace could go to hell! Why did he have to deal with so much as a beginner? Wasn't one month too short?

Wrong! He never learned, but he had the memories of his previous body.

At this time, Gu Zuo tried to tamp down on his panic as he reviewed those memories. If he didn't recall incorrectly, the previous owner of the body was a teenager who was also a pharmacist.

Although, he never was an official one...

Like this, maybe this could be considered fate.

This teenager's name happened to match with Gu Zuo's. His name was Qi Tianyou. He was abandoned as a baby and was kindly adopted to be taken in as a servant. Prior to his registration, his aptitude was tested and no one expected that he'd have medicinal beads. As he had a promising future as a pharmacist, the Qi Family quickly snatched him up. They raised him, gave him the surname "Qi", and properly cultivated his skills.

Qi Tianyou was very smart. When he was a child, he was pure and good-natured. He never treated others poorly and never took advantage of his high status. On the contrary, he was very humble and eager to learn and help others.

As he grew up, his talent for refining medicine became increasingly apparent, but he still worked diligently. If someone ever asked for medical aid, he never refused. Even if it was a servant in need, he would help.

As an adoptive son, the Qi Family didn't regard him as a true member of the family. Some hated him and obstructed him whenever they could. Meanwhile he didn't care at all and often laughed it off.

After much time had passed, for most members of the Qi Family, their impressions of him were generally positive. He had a good reputation, even in Yunyang City, which granted the Qi Family some face.

It would be reasonable to assume that Qi Tianyou, this pure and humble pharmacist, would be very important to the Qi Family. So just how could it have been possible for his medicinal beads to be dug out and to die so miserably in his bed? No one even came to visit him.
