“These are names of the books related to ancient prescriptions that may help you.”
Xu Miaolin picked up a pen and wrote down a list of books about ancient prescriptions. As he handed the list to Fang Qiu, he added, “Fetch these books and take a look.”
“All right.”
Fang Qiu took the book list, turned around, and went to find the books.
Xu Miaolin then began to contact his friends, ready to ask them who had treasure books.
Two days later.
On Thursday, the national college application period drew to an end.
Because everyone came back to their schools to fill out the application forms, and the application forms were collected by their own schools, the high schools naturally knew more or less about the details of the application.
When the application forms of Zhang Guangshou and Wang Pei, the eye-catching top scorers in the college entrance examination in Jiquan, were handed in, the recruitment offices of all the universities in the country were astounded!
To everyone’s surprise, the two top scorers in the college entrance examination in Jiquan of Qilu Province were intercepted by UJCM from Capital University and Qinghua University!
It should be noted that the reason why Zhang Guangshou and Wang Pei attracted so much attention was not just that they were the top scorers in the college entrance examination in Jiquan but also the top scorers in the entire Qilu Province!
The county-level top scorers were not very appealing. The municipal top scorers could attract the attention of the major universities in the country. The provincial top scorers were talents that the major universities vied for!
Originally, everyone thought that Zhang Guangshou had already been labeled as a talented-student-to-be of Capital University, while Wang Pei had already been marked as a talented-student-to-be of Qinghua University.
Yet, it took everyone by surprise that these two people actually applied for the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine. Furthermore, aside from the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine, they didn’t apply for any other university.
It was clear that the two would not go to any university other than the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine.
The news came as a huge surprise to the recruitment offices of many universities.
But that was not the end.
As soon as that news arrived, a few more messages came in as well.
Not only Zhang Guangshou and Wang Pei but also several municipal top scorers in Zhongzhou Province and Huizhou Province had applied for the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine.
As the pieces of news came in one after another, the staff in the recruitment offices of all the universities were all dumbfounded.
“What the hell!”
“Aren’t the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine freaking awesome?”
“It even intercepted the students that Capital University and Qinghua University had picked!”
“It’s all because of Fang Qiu!”
“Alas, why didn’t Fang Qiu come from our university?”
After a while, another piece of news came.
The application forms the various TCM colleges had received were too many to count. When the next semester began, those universities would certainly be packed!
The news made the other universities even more speechless.
For a while, the recruitment offices of all kinds of universities started to whine with bitterness. “Why is there no UJCM in the universities of our type?”
Meanwhile, the teachers working in the recruitment office of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine went into raptures!
“The news should be reported immediately.”
Hearing the news, Chen Yinsheng was very excited.
“Fang Qiu, you’re indeed a trump card, a star of luck of our university! When you went into action, you actually roped in the top scorers of several provinces and cities. I’m sure no one dares to criticize the quality of students of our university in the future!”
Chen Yinsheng was very emotional.
As the Vice President, he always hoped to make the college greater and stronger from the day he took office. However, over the years, the influence of traditional Chinese Medicine had been weak, and the situation with the traditional Chinese Medicine schools had not been improved at all. No matter how hard he tried, the situation was still the same and things just wouldn’t improve.
It was a blessing that the student named Fang Qiu had come to this university!
The appearance of Fang Qiu directly changed the current situation of the Chinese Medicine society and also changed many people’s views about Chinese Medicine. Owing to him, Chinese Medicine universities became so popular.
With Fang Qiu’s help, UJCM had risen up.
Now, Fang Qiu was only a sophomore.
In the following three or four years, he would continue to stay in UJCM.
Thinking of this, Chen Yinsheng felt that UJCM was going to rise to the top!
The more Chen Yinsheng thought, the more excited he got.
At the same time, the news that the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine was sought after by the freshmen-to-be spread quickly. It not only bandied among the major universities but also on the Internet.
Some of the posts even listed all the top scorers in the college entrance examination that had applied for the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine.
Soon, the students of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine also saw the news.
When the students learned that so many top scorers in the college entrance examination had made their university the first choice in the college application, they were all stunned!
Looking back, the students recalled that they had just scraped the admission.
But who could foresee that only one year later, the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine would become the university that all the top scorers in the college entrance examination scrambled to get in?
The change came too quickly, didn’t it?
“Holy cow! Our university is going to be popular!”
“Even the top scorers in the college entrance examination are coming here?”
“Oh, my. This is the first time I’ve seen the top scores don’t apply for Capital University or Qinghua University but a Chinese Medicine university!”
“Haha, it’s all because of Fang Qiu, isn’t it?”
“Fang Qiu is almost the landmark of our school.”
“Fang Qiu is really awesome!”
All the students in the university couldn’t help complimenting Fang Qiu.
Despite all those compliments, Fang Qiu, who was reading in his dormitory, had a distressed look on his face.
Why was he distressed?
It was because of the money issue!
After Fang Qiu came back from the library with the books, he logged on the Internet and started to inquire about everything about opening a pharmaceutical company.
Although he now had 40 million yuan, it was still too little for opening a pharmaceutical company. And if he followed the idea of the keeper of Yaowang Mountain, he had to rent sufficiently large and fertile lands to cultivate herbs.
What was the most valuable thing in today’s society?
Undoubtedly, it was land!
Even if he started the business in Jiangjing, he had to get a start-up fund of 100 million yuan, let alone launching the project in other provinces.
There was a 60 million yuan gap between 40 million yuan and 100 million yuan.
However, Fang Qiu had no intention of raising money at all.
If he were to start a pharmaceutical company, he had to have it under his complete control!
Fang Qiu’s purpose of opening a company was not to make money, but to let the company develop, following his thought!
“Money, money…”
Fang Qiu slightly bit his lip. All he could think about was money.
“How on earth can I make money?”
A thought flashed through his mind.
Fang Qiu suddenly thought of the martial arts society.
“Should I lure the Wulin people to come and fight in the ring again?”
At this thought, Fang Qiu shook his head at once.
In the previous duel, the registration fee was 10 million yuan.
Plus, Fang Qiu had already won the duel. And after the fight, he also announced in public that the registration fee for the next duel was 20 million yuan.
From that time on, Fang Qiu hadn’t received any Challenge Letter from anyone.
Obviously, the fee of 20 million yuan was too high.
People in the martial arts world were not very poor, but not every one of them was particularly rich.
Who would be so stupid to fight against someone at the cost of 20 million yuan?
Moreover, everyone now knew that the strength of the mysterious man was unfathomable. Since he had shown up, he had never lost a single battle. So, even if someone paid him 20 million yuan to fight in the ring, the result was likely to be a loss.
Most importantly, it seemed that the mysterious man’s secret skill of searching for Heaven and Earth Treasures was useless. After such a long time, the mysterious man still hadn’t found any Heaven and Earth Treasure.
In this case, what was the point of spending so much money to challenge him?
Hence, it was impractical to make money by openly accepting more challenges to duel.
“So, what about selling Heaven and Earth Treasures?”
Fang Qiu immediately thought of the fastest way to make money.
Yet, as soon as he came up with the idea, he shook his head dismissively.
Heaven and Earth Treasures were something that could only be found by chance but not be sought after.
Even though he had a method to find them by using Divine Consciousness, it was not much of a help.
After all, the Divine Consciousness could only cover a radius of 20 kilometers at present. If he looked for Heaven and Earth Treasures at this rate, how long would it take before he found one?
Therefore, though Fang Qiu had the method of searching for Heaven and Earth Treasures, it would not be so easy to find them in bulk.
“Well… 60 million isn’t a small sum. Looks like I can only take time to figure out a way.”
He heaved a sigh in his mind.
When Fang Qiu was about to continue his reading, he suddenly remembered that today was the day of the end of the college application season. So he immediately turned on his laptop and checked it on the Internet.
At once, he saw the news that the two top scorers in the college entrance examination in Qilu Province had applied for the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine. He was immediately amazed.
“Never knew that I’ve really caught big fish.”
“Great. Well done.”
Fang Qiu laughed, turned off the computer, and continued to read his book.
The next day.
Fang Qiu went to return the books that he had finished reading, but as soon as he arrived at the library, he was called into the reading room by Xu Miaolin.
“Professor Xu, what’s the matter?”
Walking into the reading room, Fang Qiu handed the books back to Xu Miaolin while asking him the question.
“I’ve got the news you want,” Xu Miaolin said immediately.
“What’s the news?”
Fang Qiu was stunned for a moment, and then a dazzling light flitted across his eyes.
“You mean, the ancient prescriptions?” asked Fang Qiu.
“Yeah.”
Xu Miaolin nodded and said, “Last night, through my powerful connections, I finally got to know that Highly-skilled Doctor Yu Qing has a treasure book about an ancient prescription.”
“Highly-skilled Doctor Yu Qing?”
Fang Qiu was puzzled.
“Yes.”
Xu Miaolin nodded, then explained, “Yu Qing is the name he gave himself. His real name is Yu Feihu. He’s been a famous highly-skilled doctor for a long time and currently lives in Beijiang.”
“What kind of ancient prescription does the book contain? What’s the treasure book like?” asked Fang Qiu in pleasant surprise.
“No idea.”
Xu Miaolin rolled his eyes at Fang Qiu and said, “I haven’t seen it yet. How could I know?”
Fang Qiu stood there, a little embarrassed.
He was really too excited.
“Although I don’t know what ancient prescription is recorded in that treasure book, it seems that it’s of no use, for the content in it is very abstruse. Highly-skilled Doctor Yu Qing used the method recorded in it to make medicine, but it didn’t work.”
Xu Miaolin frowned with curiosity as he spoke.
Hearing Xu Miaolin’s words, Fang Qiu thought of the Theory of Bonesetting.
Perhaps the treasure book in Yu Qing’s hands was just like the Theory of Bonesetting, and the real secret was hidden in it.
Thinking of this, Fang Qiu came up with an idea.
He had planned to go to Beijiang after finishing the live broadcast of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor to see if he could find any Fairy Desert Cistanche.
Now that Highly-skilled Doctor Yu Qing was also in Beijiang, this trip to Beijiang had now become a must-have!
“Don’t blame me for not reminding you beforehand.”
Xu Miaolin gazed at Fang Qiu who was deep in thoughts and remarked, “In the Chinese Medicine circle, people won’t easily give their treasure books to anyone else. You have to exchange something for the treasure book if you really want it. So, you’d better figure out what you can offer him first!”
