Chapter 289 Exceptionally Good Medical Effects!
In the teaching world, the status of a great teacher was extremely noble. Once one was qualified as a great teacher, even if he or she was a 1-star one, their salaries and positions in society were immediately raised by a grade. After Xia Yuan became a 1-star great teacher and received her first sum of money, she immediately paid the down payment and purchased a huge residence, bringing her parents over.
As long as one was a great teacher, they would be considered an excellent client. Hence, the owner of the residence immediately proceeded with the sale, even quicker and more straight-forward than lecturing his own son!
“Yuanyuan, the warm water is ready!”
Xia Yuan’s mother called out.
“Hmm, I’m coming!” After Xia Yuan prepared a set of robes, she entered the bathroom and a surge of hot air immediately gushed over.
The pool wasn’t large. It was the size of two double-beds, and steam rose off the water. After Xia Yuan stripped, she stretched out her leg and used her toe to test the temperature first. Upon feeling the temperature was alright, she began to soak herself in the pool.
Huala
The warm water immediately reached her neck, and the fatigue in her body was seemingly dispelled.
Hu~
Xia Yuan took a deep breath. She wanted to blank out but wasn’t able to do so. Sun Mo’s rapid rise to fame and Gu Xiuxun, who was an up-and-coming genius new teacher, caused her to feel a great sense of pressure. In the gigantic lakes, the later tides would always push the tides in front of them. The tides in front would then ‘die’ on the shore.
If the two of them managed to qualify as 1-star great teachers next year, she would definitely feel embarrassed.
If one wanted to rise to become a 2-star great teacher, they had to have a personal student who managed to climb into the Greencloud Rankings.
For this, other than the student’s personal aptitude, it also depended on the great teacher’s teaching capabilities. Xia Yuan had been working hard, and she also didn’t relax in terms of cultivation.
Her thought process was this. ‘I might temporarily not be able to become a 2-star great teacher, but my cultivation base has to be at a high realm. By doing so, it can be considered one of my selling points when I try to recruit good students. However, I didn’t manage to find any recently.’ Xia Yuan could clearly sense that her energy wasn’t able to keep up due to her working too hard. This also caused her cultivation base to become stagnant.
Xia Yuan knew that she should rest and re-organize, but she didn’t dare to. Once she slacked off and rested, wouldn’t she be surpassed by Sun Mo, Gu Xiuxun, and the others?
Also, the current situation of the Central Province Academy wasn’t too good. If they scored badly this year in the league tournament, the school would be delisted and her future would be bleak. At that time, if she wished to join another famous school, she would have to show others her achievements.
Honestly speaking, a 1-star great teacher was nothing much in the education world.
As for veteran great teachers?
There was an echelon system that was used by the schools. If one wasn’t able to qualify as a 1-star great teacher after five years, they would be eliminated or rotated to another department.
This wasn’t because the schools were cold-blooded and were unwilling to give opportunities. But even if they did so, no students would be willing to consistently attend lectures given by a normal teacher.
Upon thinking of this, Xia Yuan became mentally and physically exhausted. However, given her current standard, she also wasn’t qualified to join the student group and lead them in the league tournament. She could only cheer for them at the side.
“If there’s no accident, Sun Mo and Gu Xiuxun should be part of the leading teachers for the new student competition!”
Many thoughts appeared in Xia Yuan’s mind. After that, she tossed the giant medicine packet into the pool of bathwater.
Pak!
When the medicine packet came in contact with the bathwater, a dark red-color instantly spread out. This color resembled fresh blood.
Huala
Xia Yuan subconsciously stood up.
It was too terrifying. It seemed as though one was soaking in fresh blood. Xia Yuan had mild mysophobia and initially wanted to get out. But when she thought about how this medicine packet cost 3,000 taels, she bore with it and sat back in the bathwater.
“Forget it, I won’t be bothered if I can’t see it!”
Xia Yuan took a hot towel and placed it on her face after wringing it dry.
The medicinal effect started to spread. Fist-sized whirlpools began to appear in the bathwater, stirring up the water current, which slammed into her body.
“Hehe!”
Xia Yuan couldn’t help but laugh as it felt a little itchy. Also, the impact of the water caused her skin to feel a hint of comfort, as though she was being massaged.
“This medicine packet is a little interesting!”
Xia Yuan sighed with emotions. But in the next second, a booming sound rang out as the bathwater splashed all around. The impact now was so great that it felt like a rainstorm was thundering down her face.
“What the hell?”
Xia Yuan removed the hot towel from her face and was stunned. In the bathing area, a three-meter tall giant suddenly appeared. Because it was formed from the red bathwater, it looked a little terrifying.
Swish
The water giant turned and looked at Xia Yuan. “Argh!” Xia Yuan screamed. She covered her chest and nether region, and she was so angry that her face turned green. (I’ve maintained a pure body for thirty years, yet I met a ghost today?)
Before Xia Yuan could vent, that bathing water giant directly swung its fist over.
BOOM!
The wind generated by the punch gusted by.
Xia Yuan was a cautious person and didn’t receive the punch head-on. She chose to evade to the side instead.
Huala
Xia Yuan left the bath area and was preparing to retreat to the corner. By doing so, the water giant shouldn’t be able to reach her anymore. However, she didn’t expect the attack tempo of this water giant to be so quick.
After missing with its first punch, a second punch followed!
This time, Xia Yuan no longer dodged. She retaliated head-on.
Bang!
The fist of the water giant exploded, causing water to splash all around. A vast amount of blood-colored spirit qi gushed forth, enveloping Xia Yuan. Chi! Chi! Chi!
Xia Yuan had a nervous look on her face and wanted to escape. However, she soon discovered that the spirit qi surrounding her was extremely dense, and it was flowing into her body.
A sense of comfort could immediately be felt from all parts of her body.
Xia Yuan had a stunned look on her face. This feeling……
However, before she could think deeper, the third punch of the water giant blasted forth. Xia Yuan no longer dodged. She blasted the fist apart and took the initiative to attack the water giant.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The body of the giant crumbled apart, causing large amounts of blood-colored spirit qi to gush forth. Xia Yuan kept inhaling the spirit qi, immersing herself in the sense of comfort.
This feeling of being inundated by spirit qi was truly awesome. Her cells were like people in the dry desert, thirsting for water for a few months. All of a sudden, they wandered into an oasis and could drink unlimited amounts of water!
Such a feeling of joy and satisfaction immediately shook Xia Yuan’s soul.
Xia Yuan’s entire body trembled with joy. She couldn’t bear it and clamp her thighs tightly. Damn it, she actually got wet, how embarrassing. Lucky, no one was here to see it.
Wait a minute, didn’t that giant see it? However, what sort of creature was that thing exactly? Xia Yuan threw a final punch and crushed the giant’s head. It completely crumbled, dissolving into blood-colored spirit qi. The entire bathroom was filled with it, and the walls and the floor were dripping with ‘blood’. The scene here actually looked like the scene of a massacre.
There was basically no need for her to take the initiative to absorb this type of spirit qi. They flowed into her body unbiddenly.
Xia Yuan was still immersed in the sensation, but she suddenly felt a familiar feeling. This caused her to be excited as her heartbeat increased. Her spirit qi circulation also became quicker.
“What? I’m breaking through?”
Xia Yuan felt some disbelief. How did she suddenly break through just because she took a bath? Wasn’t this too magical?
But what she was feeling now was indeed signs before a breakthrough!
Xia Yuan was also a decisive person. She no longer delayed and quickly sat cross-legged. She began to maximize her absorption of spirit qi and attempted to break through to the fifth level of the divine force realm.
“Little Yuan, Little Yuan, are you alright?”
Xia Yuan’s mother heard the sounds of fighting and felt some worry; hence, she came to check out the situation.
“I’m fine, don’t disturb me!”
Xia Yuan called out.
Xia Yuan’s mother was worried and waited at the side.
The divine force realm, as the name implied, it allowed one’s body to contain divine force. It didn’t literally mean force from divine entities like deities and gods, but rather, immense strength that transcended human understanding. For example, experts at the divine force realm could topple mountains and overturn seas, they could even seize the stars and pluck the moon off. This was what divine force meant!
It could also mean incredible power!
The higher one’s cultivation base was, the more difficult it would be to progress.
There were a total of nine levels in the divine force realm. For each level, one had to nurture a source of divine force and allow it to fill one’s body, nourishing and evolving the body. In the end, when a qualitative transformation occurred, one would be able to break through the limits of their bodies and enter the longevity realm.
Xia Yuan focused her mind, spirit, and qi. She even cast a ‘Complete Focus’ great teacher halo on herself to maintain her concentration. She decided to make use of this chance and do her utmost to break through to the fifth level.
Xia Yuan had made the preparations for a ‘long fight’. She even planned to use another giant medicine packet, but she didn’t expect that just ten minutes later, she had reached the threshold.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The spirit qi blasted out through the windows.
Xia Yuan effortlessly stepped into the fifth level of the divine force realm.
“It’s actually so simple?”
Xia Yuan had a dumbstruck look on her face. It was like a gamer who had prepared all sorts of potions and weapons for half-a-month to defeat the final boss. However, in the end, when the battle started, that gamer killed the boss with just a single slash.
Yup, it was a normal attack. She didn’t even use a skill.
“I’m not dreaming, right?”
Xia Yuan exerted all her force and pinched her cheeks. After that, her tears flowed. (An Xinhui, why didn’t you bring out such a wonderful medicine packet sooner…… If I used this sooner, how many years could I have saved?)
(Leaving aside the longevity realm, there shouldn’t be any problems for me to rise to the ninth level of the divine force realm, right?) Xia Yuan was somewhat over-optimistic. The giant medicine packet was still a medicine after all. The effects would be the best when one used it for the first time.
It was like having an injection when one was sick. The first time one used antibiotics, they would recover after using a small amount. But after using antibiotics a couple of times, the effects would diminish.
The effect of the giant medicine packets followed the same logic. After the first time, the effects would gradually dwindle to the point where they became similar to ordinary medicine packets. They could still be used to remove fatigue, replenish spirit qi, and relax one’s state of mind. But if you wanted to depend on it for a breakthrough, it was a little difficult.
Naturally, its medical effects were still stronger compared to other medicine packets sold on the market.
“Little Yuan, you……” Xia Yuan’s mother walked in. When she looked at the ‘blood’ in the surroundings, she was so frightened that she began to shiver. (Did my daughter kill someone?)
(Where’s the corpse?)
Xia Yuan’s mother’s eyes swept around the bathroom. (There must definitely be a trash guy who bullied my daughter. He ought to die. However, since one has to pay with one’s life if they kill someone, I shall offer my life on behalf of my daughter!)
In just a few moments, determination appeared on Xia Yuan’s mother’s face.
“Mother, I just broke through.”
Xia Yuan happily leaped up and rushed over, hugging her mother. Right now, she felt that she was in very good condition. Her eyes were bright and her ears were clear; all her senses felt extremely sharp. Divine force was truly peerless.
Her father was currently changing his clothes, and Xia Yuan could tell from the minute sounds she was hearing. Before this, her senses wouldn’t be as sharp.
This giant medicine packet was extremely good!
(I have to have a few more, no I have to buy a load of them.)
“Mother, where’s the money stored in our house? Bring them to me!”
Xia Yuan’s eyes glowed, like a hungry wolf who just saw its prey!
Chapter 290 Crazy Sale of the Medicine Packets, Earning Huge Profits!
After knowing that her daughter didn’t kill a person, Xia Yuan’s mother heaved a sigh of relief. She didn’t need to worry about where she should bury the body.
“Buying a medicine packet?”
Xia Yuan’s mother felt that her daughter might have run into a swindler. What medicine packet would cost so expensive at 3,000 taels? However, she had unconditional support for her daughter and immediately withdrew all their money in the bank the next day and passed it to her.
On the third morning, Xia Yuan carried a load of banknotes and rushed straight toward the infirmary office. On her way there, she met Li
Fang.
“Eh? Teacher Xia, your complexion looks
good!”
Li Fang joked, “Did you encounter love?”
“I didn’t, but I met a giant!”
Xia Yuan teased. She was naturally in a good mood. Not only had she broken through in cultivation, but she also hadn’t wasted the 3,000 taels.
Honestly speaking, Xia Yuan had only bought the giant medicine packet because she wanted to support An Xinhui. She was prepared to waste the money. In the end, she didn’t expect that the medicinal effect would be so good.
“Ah?”
Li Fang was astonished.
“Let me tell you, the effect of the medicine packet was too impressive. It could actually summon a giant. As expected of an ancestral recipe handed down in Headmaster An’s clan!”
Xia Yuan cast a look around. These words couldn’t be heard by others, or competitors would surely increase.
“Ah? What giant?”
Li Fang had a dumbfounded look on her face, her mind was filled with disbelief. (Taking a bath and a giant was summoned? Are you not afraid of being ravaged on the spot?”)
Xia Yuan hurriedly explained. When she saw that Li Fang still had a half-doubting look on her face, she directly pulled her by her hand. “Let’s talk while we walk!”
The two of them entered the office building and went to the second floor. Surprisingly, many people were already queueing up, and all of them were teachers from the Central Province Academy.
“There are so many people!”
Xia Yuan’s heart thumped. (In that case, the medicine packets would have been sold out when it comes to my turn, right?)
These teachers were older than her, and all had feelings toward the Central Province Academy. Hence, they were extremely willing to part with 3,000 taels of silver back then. In the end, they didn’t expect that the effect was so wondrous.
After they spent yesterday raising money, they immediately came and queued today for the sake of purchasing more giant medicine packets.
“Teacher Wang, you used it too?”
“Yup. My waist has been injured before and I would feel pain if I lay down for too long. But after using the medicine packet, I felt that my sleep quality last night was extremely good.” Teacher Wang didn’t merely sleep well. He had gone to the Concentrated Fragrance Brothel and stayed for a total of two hours last night, ‘slaying’ the prostitute so intensely that she begged for mercy.
“This giant medicine packet is truly godly!”
“That’s right. Just that handsome-looking sturdy giant that manifested is already worth the 3,000 taels!” (Handsome-looking and sturdy? What sense of aesthetics do you have?)
The great teachers discussed but very soon later, they no longer had the mood to talk and were frowning instead. They were glancing at the entrance of the infirmary, their faces filled with worry.
The great teachers came prepared this time around and brought enough money, ready to purchase a bunch of medicine packets. Hence, every great teacher who left earlier carried a few wooden boxes with them.
“Eh, Teacher Wu, are there any stocks remaining?”
Teacher Wang noticed Teacher Wu whom he was familiar with. He hurriedly asked the question as he still wanted to cure his bad waist before heading to the Concentrated Fragrance Brothel to start a ‘massacre’.
“There’s not much left!”
Teacher Wu’s lips twitched. If it wasn’t for the fact that this medicine packet was too expensive, he truly wanted to clear out all the stocks.
The number of people queuing up gradually reduced.
Xia Yuan and Li Fang were anxiously waiting. This was especially so for Li Fang. Her hesitation now was no longer whether she should buy them or not. Rather, it was whether she would be able to buy or not?
“Ai, how good would it be if I had purchased a few more packets previously?”
Li Fang sighed and had a face filled with regret.
Finally, it was their turn.
“Give me ten!”
Before the assistant spoke, Xia Yuan already called out impatiently and pulled out 30,000 taels of silver, passing the money over. “I want five, no, three!”
After Li Fang spoke, she checked her pocket. “Eh, can I bring the money over in the afternoon?
“Dear, sorry there are too little medicine packets available. We do not deal with credit.” The assistant smiled, showing an expression of wanting to help but was helpless to do so.
“Can you leave some for me? I’m going to withdraw money now.” Li Fang grew a little anxious. “Five, I want five!”
Li Fang was usually extravagant in her spending, and 15,000 taels of silver was a large sum of money. She had only wanted to purchase three to try. But from the looks of things now, she changed her mind. “Dear, I’m sorry. We have received instructions from Headmaster An that people who are here would have the priority to purchase the medicine packets!”
The assistant had an apologetic look on her face.
An Xinhui’s meaning was very simple. Those who came here to buy the giant medicine packets were supporters of her and the Central Province Academy. In that case, she should naturally provide for these people first.
After Xia Yuan received a wooden box, she heaved a sigh of relief and started to suggest. “Teacher Li, don’t waste time here anymore. Quickly go and get the money!”
When Li Fang saw that the assistant wasn’t budging, she could only swiftly return home to take the money. When she came back again, she fortunately managed to be in time for the last wave and purchased two of the packets.
The assistant said that the medicine packets were already sold out.
“In that case, when is the next batch of
goods?”
Some teachers were unhappy. (Wouldn’t that mean that I’ve wasted my time in queuing up? To purchase this, I’ve even taken half a day of leave!)
“Dear, we are really sorry. We also have no idea. We have to wait for Headmaster An’s instructions!”
The assistant was helpless.
“Eh, Teacher Feng. You have bought ten, right? How about selling one to me?”
“Oh Teacher Zhuang, I’m planning to give some away to others. There isn’t enough for my personal use!”
Teacher Feng shrugged and revealed a bitter smile.
Actually, he had no plans to give them away. After all, this was an excellent item. He might think about it only after he had enjoyed the medicine packets enough. If it wasn’t for him not having enough money, he actually wanted to purchase ten more.
(Ai, Teacher Zhuang. You can’t blame me for being selfish. Our relationship is just that of normal acquaintances after all.)
In the headmaster office, An Xinhui was currently listening to the reports of the two assistants.
“It’s sold out?”
After hearing this, An Xinhui couldn’t help but have a dumbfounded look on her face. If it wasn’t for her staring at a large chest packed to the brim with banknotes, she basically would have no way to believe it.
An Xinhui had tested the medicinal effect of the giant medicine packet before. But no matter how good something was, there was a need for time, allowing its popularity to brew before exploding. An Xinhui had estimated that after the teachers bought the medicine packet, they would use it and would discuss the effects with each other. News about it would then pass by word of mouth and form a good and robust reputation, leading to people purchasing it. As for the stocks being sold out, it should have taken about a week. Who would have expected that all of them were sold just after three days?
“A giant medicine packet cost 3,000 taels. Do they not value their money?” An Xinhui couldn’t understand. Currently, the teachers were truly fierce when it came to spending money! “Headmaster, actually the number of great teachers who came and purchased the medicine packets isn’t high in number. But every teacher would purchase a few packets at least. There was even one who purchased 100 packets in one go!” The assistant reported.
“100?”
An Xinhui took in a gasp of cold air. Didn’t that mean 300,000 taels of silver? This sum of money was sufficient to keep the Central Province Academy running for a month.
Very soon, An Xinhui understood the reason.
The effects of the giant medicine packet were simply too good. Hence, after the great teachers had used them, their first reaction was to hoard the goods. After all, once the news of this spread, a trend of crazy purchasing would surely start. Even if An Xinhui didn’t increase the price, it wouldn’t be easy for them to purchase it even with their statuses as great teachers.
Hence, this was why the medicine packets were sold out so quickly.
“Alright, the two of you have worked hard. You guys can head to the finance department and claim 1,000 taels of silver each!”
An Xinhui rewarded the two assistants and then lowered her head to do the accounting. The more she counted, the more joyful she felt. A smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
This time around, they had prepared a total of 10,000 giant medicine packets. In the end, all 10,000 were sold out within three days. 30 million as sales were just credited into the accounting book! “Si~ 30 million taels?”
An Xinhui rubbed her eyes, feeling some disbelief. After that, she counted again to make sure there was no mistake. The sum was truly so large.
After deducting the capital of 5 million taels and giving 40% of the profits to Sun Mo, the school still earned 15 million in profit.
One could say that the Central Province Academy was going to have a good year.
And the most terrifying point was that this was simply the first batch of products to test the market. The second batch would be ready half a month later. At that time, they would be able to make even more profits. “We have struck it rich!”
An Xinhui leaned back on her chair and exhaled a long breath of relief.
The financial situation of the Central Province Academy had been extremely dire. Through these three years, An Xinhui had always been leading an arduous life, trying to scrape enough money. Just paying the salaries of the staff every month was considered an extremely huge expense to her.
In order to save money, An Xinhui had only been eating salted veggies and chewing on buns to survive. Although this was like putting out a huge fire with a cup of water, a copper coin saved was a copper coin earned.
Also, An Xinhui had never bought a piece of new clothes throughout these three years. She had even had to work as a private tutor at night for descendants of rich clans and thicken her skin to seek out financial aid.
Right now, this period of arduousness had finally ended.
“Thank you, Little Momo!”
An Xinhui lifted her hands and wiped her tears away. She didn’t want to cry, but she wasn’t able to control her emotions. After all, these three years had been like hell for her. She didn’t even wish to recall it for even a second.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from An Xinhui +1,000. Reverence (1,670/10,000).
Sun Mo jumped in fright when he suddenly received the notification.
“1,000 favorable impression points? What’s up with An Xinhui?”
Sun Mo frowned, he didn’t do anything, right? But very soon later, he learned of the reason. This was because An Xinhui came to look for him.
“Little Momo, the giant medicine packets were all sold out!”
An Xinhui passed a large chest to Sun Mo. “This is your portion of profits. There’s a total of 10 million taels here. You should do a count!” “Oh?”
Sun Mo was a little surprised. He knew that the giant medicine packets would sell well, but he didn’t expect that it would sell that well to this extent.
“I’ve done a check. The number of teachers who came to purchase the first batch of medicine packets isn’t even 1/10 of the total teachers in the school. If all of them came to buy, we would be rolling in profits. In the future, we would definitely be able to become one of the wealthiest merchants in Jinling.”
An Xinhui was grinning. At that time, she would make a bed of banknotes and lie down on them to sleep.
“Hehe!”
Sun Mo smiled. He didn’t doubt An Xinhui’s words because this was considered a unique business, and unique businesses would simply earn it big. Just think about how much revenue the Coca Cola Company was making every year? Although Pepsi was their competitor, they were still earning big.
The sales of the ‘fatty drink’ wasn’t a joke at all.
However, the giant medicine packet was more similar to viagra. Although it was just a little blue pill, the yearly revenue of its sales was extremely shocking.
Naturally, if the Central Province Academy was still in this run-down state, this business wouldn’t last for long because they wouldn’t be able to safeguard the prescription. “Little Momo, thank you!”
An Xinhui actually had a lot she wanted to say. However, when she spoke, all her words were summed up into those four words.
The autumn sunlight cascaded down on An Xinhui’s pale face, causing her to look even more tired. But today, there was a hint of vibrancy and relaxation on her face. Worry, which would always hang in between her brows, finally dissipated.
