Chapter 28

Forced

Its a bit difficult to restore the Light Spirit Pill, so I think its better if I focus on cultivation techniques and treat restoring the pill formula as a supplement for the future, Chen Fei considered for a moment before making this decision. He understood that the pill formula was important, but it was also the most challenging aspect of his training. In terms of increasing his strength, he and the other two were in the same position, so it was clear what to prioritize.

Time pa.s.sed by leisurely. Chen Fei was refining pills in the medical hall during the day, but he did not refine them many times. After a few batches of Vitality Pills, Chen Fei would stop.

His next step was to improve his proficiency in Immortal Way, as it was the most obvious way to increase his strength. As long as Immortal Way reached Great Completion, Chen Feis killer move would be considered successful. Fortunately, tapping his fingers was indeed simple. It was a test of hand speed. In just two days, Chen Fei had cultivated Immortal Way to Great Completion.

[Cultivation Technique: Immortal Way (Great Completion)]

Tsk!

In the courtyard, a flash of sword Qi appeared, and a hole appeared in the fake mountain. Chen Fei slowly put away his sword and stepped forward to look at the hole in the rockery. He could not help but smile.

Steward Chen, Steward Chen, are you there?

Liu Juns voice rang out from outside the door. Chen Fei opened the door in puzzlement and saw Liu Jun panting outside.

Is something wrong at the clinic? Chen Fei had deliberately skipped the clinic to test out his sword style with Immortal Way.

The new Stewart has taken over and wants everyone to go there now, Liu Jun replied, glancing at Chen Fei as he said in a whisper. Most people believed that Chen Fei would be the next Stewart of the North City medical center due to his relations.h.i.+p with Zhang Sinan, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family. However, a new Stewart arrived, and Chen Fei did not get the promotion.

Liu Jun expected Chen Fei to be furious, but he was surprised to see him remain calm despite the news. Of course, he was calm. If the Zhang family could renege on the pill formula of the Light Spirit Pill, how could the position of the Stewart of the Northern City Medical Hall fall to Chen Fei?

Chen Fei did not fancy the position of Stewart. The money would not be much, yet there would definitely be a lot of things to do. As things were now was more in line with Chen Feis wishes.

Lets go and meet the new steward, Chen Fei said, smiling slightly as he walked forward. Liu Jun followed behind him, careful not to miss anything he said.

The new steward was Zhang Yuezhen, a member of the Zhang family who had previously worked in other counties. But her previous county had been conquered, and her family had come to Pingyin County to seek refuge with the main family.

I heard that Steward Zhang has a good relations.h.i.+p with the Eldest Miss, Liu Jun whispered.

Chen Fei nodded slightly. Their relations.h.i.+p was probably not ordinary. Otherwise, she would not be in charge of the North City medical center. However, he had just arrived in Pingyin County and had to take care of something urgent. The North City medical center will probably be busy from now on.

Before I came, I looked at the medical centers account book. The income is far inferior to Qingzheng Medical Center. I wont pursue this matter as it is the past, but in the future, I hope that we can catch up with, or even surpa.s.s, Qingzheng Medical Center.

As soon as he stepped into the clinic, Chen Fei heard a voice. He looked up and saw Zhang Yuezhen looking at everyone present with a fierce gaze. Her aura suppressed everyone present.

Alright, return to your posts. If theres a need, Ill talk to you alone! Zhang Yuezhen waved her hand, and the crowd quickly dispersed as if they had been granted a pardon.

Greetings, Steward Zhang! Chen Fei stepped forward and bowed.

You are Chen Fei? Zhang Yuezhen looked him up and down and said, Sinan told me about you. Your talent in alchemy isnt bad.

Young miss, you flatter me, Chen Fei replied.

I was entrusted by Sinan to come to North City medical center to rebuild it, so I need the help of many people.

Its our duty to contribute to the medical center! Chen Fei said with a smile.

Since its your duty, are you producing pills at your maximum capacity? Zhang Yuezhens tone suddenly became stern as she stared at Chen Fei and said, Ive seen your alchemy records for the past few days. How many Vitality Pills do you take a day? Is this how you contribute to the medical hall?

I was frightened a few days ago, and my condition hasnt been good recently. Chen Fei explained.

I dont need to hear that. Im just asking you if you can concoct thirty batches of Vitality Pills and thirty batches of Healing Pills every day! Zhang Yuezhen waved her hand and interrupted Chen Fei.

Im afraid not. Chen Fei shook his head slightly.

The steward asked you to refine pills, so you should just do it. Where are all your excuses coming from? Its clear that you dont want to contribute! Dan Xiang scolded Chen Fei. She was Zhang Sinans servant girl and had followed him to express Zhang Sinans att.i.tude. Although Chen Fei was the a.s.sistant steward of the clinic, Dan Xiang was not afraid to speak her mind.

Its not easy to explain alchemy, Chen Fei replied helplessly.

Zhang Yuezhens eyes narrowed slightly. She was already becoming impatient. Then tell me, how many furnaces of medicinal pills can you refine every day?

Starting tomorrow, Ill try to refine five batches of Vitality Pills, Chen Fei said.

Just one more batch than now? Zhang Yuezhens aura pressed down on Chen Fei. Despite her young age, she had already reached the Bone Tempering realm thanks to her familys power.

I will try to recover as soon as possible and refine more pills, Chen Fei said with a smile.

Zhang Yuezhen didnt say anything. Her eyes were fixed on Chen Fei, and Chen Fei returned her gaze. Very well, remember what you said today! she snorted coldly and turned to leave. Dan Xiang also glared at Chen Fei before following Zhang Yuezhen.

Steward Chen, Liu Jun approached Chen Fei with concern. Isnt it a little inappropriate for the new steward to have a conflict with you on her first day?

Chen Fei patted Liu Juns shoulder and walked towards his pill room. Zhang Yuezhen was a new official, and her first target was Chen Fei. If Chen Fei had agreed to her demands, not only would his time be completely compressed, but he wouldnt have had the energy to do his own work.

In the future, Zhang Yuezhen would only a.s.sign more tasks to Chen Fei. Although Chen Fei was the a.s.sistant steward, his foundation was quite shallow. Others believed that he had Zhang Sinan backing him, but in reality, Zhang Sinan had never treated him as her own.

On the other hand, Zhang Yuezhen was Zhang Sinans actual relative. As long as she could control Chen Fei, others in the clinic would see that even Chen Fei was obedient to her demands. This would motivate them to put in more effort.

Chen Fei had now become a tool in Zhang Yuezhens hands, a tool to reorganize the North City medical center.

That Chen Fei is so uncooperative. When I return, I will definitely report this to Eldest Miss! Dan Xiang said unhappily.

Why bother Sinan with this kind of thing? Zhang Yuezhen sneered. If Chen Fei had directly refused, I would still respect him as a man. This kind of s.h.i.+rking is worse than a woman. Instead, I look down on him!

Dan Xiang couldnt help but laugh. How could Chen Fei dare to refuse Zhang Yuezhen? He would probably be slapped down by her. After all, he was only in the Skin Toughening realm.
