Elder Yu did not reply the shopkeeper. Instead, his intelligent eyes stared deeply at Ling Yu, "Young lady, in the Hundred Herb Hall, it doesn’t matter if you’re a commoner or a courtier, there are no exceptions! If you insist on comparing your higher ranking to us, then the Hundred Herb Hall would not welcome you any longer!"
"You..."
Ling Yu was angered until her face went pale. Since the Ling family was far more superior these days, she did not expect that a mere physician would dare to talk to her like that! That was going too far!
"Fine. You guys better remember this. If I, Ling Yu, do not have my revenge, I swear to never be reborn as a human again! When the time comes, don’t say that I didn’t warn you!"
However, after she said that, Elder Yu closed his eyes once more. Even when Ling Yu was stamping with rage, he did not spare her another glance...
"Young lady, I’m terribly sorry to have you wait longer. I’ll go fetch the herbs now."
The shopkeeper said shamefully after Ling Yu left.
"Shopkeeper, is this the resident physician of Hundred Herb Hall?"
Gu Ruoyun’s gaze scanned the place and stopped on Elder Yu. The corners of her lips curled into a faint smile as she asked.
"This..." Shopkeeper Zhao was slightly stunned, he carefully peeked at the old man who was closing his eyes to rest his spirit. He saw that the old man did not give any reaction, and continued, "Young lady, this is our senior, Elder Yu. He’s also... our physician."
"Oh," as Gu Ruoyun stroked her chin, "I see that he’s not very skilled. If not, how can he not fix a simple scar?"
"What did you say?"
Elder Yu opened his eyes fiercely and snorted, "A simple scar? You make it sound so easy! If it is merely removing the scar, then it is not a difficult thing; but to fix it on the same day, that is impossible. Wound or illness, they all need time to heal."
"If you don’t have the skills then you don’t have it. Why don’t you just admit it?"
"Young lady!"
Seeing that Elder Yu’s expression was getting darker and darker, Shopkeeper Zhao hurriedly interrupted Gu Ruoyun, "Young lady, please say no more. Elder Yu’s skills are the best, even the royal doctors are no match for him."
"Is that so?" Gu Ruoyun snickered. A subtle glint flashed across her clear eyes, "If Elder Yu’s medical skills are that great, I wonder if he’ll be willing to have a match with this junior?"
"Alright!"
Elder Yu hit the table and jumped to his feet. He stared coldly at Gu Ruoyun, "What kind of match do you have in mind?"
"Easy! If I lose, I won’t only apologise but I’ll also recognise your medical skills as the greatest under the heavens. If you lose, then... I want this Hundred Herb Hall to be mine."
Gu Ruoyun waved her cuff and sat down. Her delicate and pretty face wore a confident smile.
Elder Yu was stunned for a while. He laughed loudly, "Girl, you have a big mouth. With just one bite and you want this whole Hundred Herb Hall to yourself! You still do not have what it takes to obtain Hundred Herb Hall!"
"What?" Gu Ruoyun toyed with her hair, "The great Hundred Herb Hall isn’t brave enough to have a match with a little girl like me? Or are you afraid of losing, Elder Yu?"
"Losing? Humph. I, Elder Yu have never known the meaning of losing! The only thing is that this Hundred Herb Hall isn’t mine, I cannot make any decisions. If you truly want to have a match with me, let me decide after talking to the Little Lord."
Truth be told, Gu Ruoyun could guess Elder Yu’s identity based on the shopkeeper’s attitude towards him that he was not an ordinary physician. But no matter how powerful he was in the Hundred Herb Hall, he was at most a supervisor or an elder. Her aim was to get the people behind Hundred Herb Hall.
Not to mention since she was new here, she must have a power to back her up!
Hundred Herb Hall was undoubtedly the best choice!
The most important part was that after she has conquered Hundred Herb Hall, she wouldn’t have to worry about herbs anymore.
章 13: Pill Refinement (4)

In front of an exquisitely ornate window pane, a man stood with his back against the door. A light breeze gently encircled the room, softly brushing through the man’s inky black hair.
As if sensing the footsteps from outside the door, he gently tilted his head. The bright rays of sunlight shone upon the man’s handsome face, casting a far more mesmerizing sight than the sunlight outside the window.
The door pushed open, and Elder Yu slowly entered the room. He bowed his head and spoke respectfully, "Young Master, I have something to report."
The man gently raised his hand and stopped the old man before he could continue speaking.
He curled the corners of his lips into an attractive angle. His gentle eyes shone like enchanting black pools, so beautiful that they could generate ripples in the hearts of many.
"Elder Yu, there’s no need for an explanation. I’ve seen everything that has happened downstairs. This Gu Ruoyun, it seems that she is not as fragile as they say. At least, I can’t detect any sign of weakness or cowardice in her…"
No one in Azure Dragon country did not know that the genius of that generation, Gu Tian had given birth to a good-for-nothing, gifted with stupidity, cowardly and afraid of everything daughter. Not only was she a humiliation to his name, she was the shame of General Gu’s household. Based on his observations, the rumors weren’t true. That girl was so overbearing. What part of her resembled a coward?
I simply don’t know where these rumors came from. He thought.
"Gu Ruoyun?" Elder Yu’s mouth fell open in shock, "Young Master, are you saying that she is Gu Tian and Lady Yu’er’s daughter, Gu Ruoyun?"
"Precisely," The man gently stroked the bamboo leaves next to him with his slender fingers, his lips held an unreadable smile. "There aren’t many people whom I admire. Gu Tian is one of those people. He had the capability to grow into such great strength, under such weak circumstances. If he was born into a powerful organization, he would now be among the greatest cultivators in all of the mainland. Both he and my sister were a match made in heaven. Unfortunately, some people made the decision to tear them apart."
The man sighed at the thought of this, and spoke with a hint of regret in his voice, "Now that we’re discussing it, that Gu Ruoyun should address me as her uncle. But I’ve heard talk in the family that this Gu Ruoyun is extremely useless, and can’t even be compared with Gu Tian. My visit this time is for her sake! Elder Yu, the Hundred Herb Hall is only one of my businesses; losing it is equivalent to losing a few pieces of gold. Hence, I approve of your notion in utilizing the Hundred Herb Hall as part of your wager. However, it does not mean that just because she is Gu Tian’s daughter, you should go easy on her. I want to see her true capabilities…"
How could a great genius like Gu Tian have possibly given birth to a good-for-nothing daughter? He wondered.
So, I want to find out if this girl has the ability to single-handedly conquer the heavens!
…
Downstairs, Gu Ruoyun heard the sound of footsteps descending from above. She lightly raised her eyebrows, sweeping her gaze towards Elder Yu, who was hobbling hurriedly downstairs.
"So how was it? Does your Young Master agree to my suggestion?"
Once he found out about Gu Ruoyun’s true identity, Elder Yu began to feel a complex mix of emotions. He had never thought that this girl would turn out to be the daughter of Gu Tian and the precious pearl of the Dongfang Family. Should he ever offend her, then in the future…
Even though the Young Master left instructions to not take it easy with her, but it shouldn’t be a problem if I lightened the load for her a little, right?
"Cough! Cough!"
Elder Yu’s eyes darted back and forth at the thought of this. He let out a dry cough and said, "My lady, how should we go about this competition?"
"It’s simple!"Gu Ruoyun raised her lips to an angle, "Elder Yu, I hear that your throat is hoarse, it is an old affliction?"
Elder Yu was momentarily stunned, and nodded honestly, "That’s right. That year, I was locked in battle with a strong cultivator, and was gravely injured which caused damage to my throat. While I’ve managed to save myself with my herbs, I was never able to heal my throat to its original state."
