Chapter 674 - 650: Medical Pavilion Grand Opening (Part 2)
...
No surprise at all, starting from the twenty-first match, Sun Zhe won every battle all the way until past ten in the evening, creating an unprecedented record—forty-seven consecutive victories!
When the referee announced that "Ghost" had won the title of Martial Hero in the Body Refining District, Sun Zhe was too exhausted to hear the thunderous cheers of the entire audience, his tall frame collapsed onto the bloodstained stage, falling into unconsciousness.
Time passed without knowing how long.
When he woke again, he found himself lying in the bathtub at home.
Xia Shiqing was sitting on a nearby chair, playing on her phone.
"Awake?"
Sun Zhe groaned from the pain and struggled to raise his right arm, discovering that the entire arm was red and swollen, nearly twice the size of his left!
This was because he repeatedly utilized the exertion technique of "Dragon Intent Fist," resulting in the injury to his arm.
"How did I get back?"
"That little brother of yours brought you to the doorstep."
Sun Zhe nodded, "I knew it was him."
Xia Shiqing stared at his right arm, slowly saying, "I watched your match, your fist technique is very domineering, you could even say it’s unreasonable."
"But such a technique places a tremendous burden on your arms; if you keep going like this, your hand will be crippled."
Of course, Sun Zhe knew this well because the "Dragon Intent Fist" is not meant for humans but is a technique used by dragons!
Were it not for his Undying Body, which allowed him to completely ignore this aspect, Little Dragon Girl wouldn’t have taught him such an extraordinary technique.
"I understand what you mean, I’ll be careful in the future. By the way, where did you watch my match? You didn’t go to the underground arena."
"Here." Xia Shiqing waved her phone at him, "Arena APP, scan the QR code to download, requires a martial arts identity card for registration and login. It lets you catch up on various news and fun stories about the underground arena, and you can watch ’Martial Platform’ livestreams."
Sun Zhe chuckled, "So convenient?"
"Times are progressing."
Xia Shiqing reached out to tousle his hair, her eyes full of affection, smiling slightly, "It really is impressive, our family’s ’Ghost’ truly made a name for himself with this battle, your attention level is now extremely high, you could say you’re the underground arena’s rookie king."
"If you manage to maintain your Martial Hero title from your forty-seven consecutive victories for three days, you’ll receive a cash reward of five million, which will be directly credited to your account."
"Only five million..."
Sun Zhe looked helpless, saying, "Tomorrow I plan to start fighting in the Qi Refining District, striving to claim the Martial Hero title there within three days, then I’ll receive a prize of one Spirit Crystal coin."
Xia Shiqing said, "As I mentioned, you need to wait three days, and besides, you need to rest."
"Alright, then I’ll wait three days."
Xia Shiqing added, "Also, from your time in the Qi Refining District onward, you need to use a sword."
"Using a sword then it is."
Xia Shiqing asked, "Do you really need money?"
Sun Zhe honestly replied, "I want to rent a shop in the trading district to open a medical clinic."
Xia Shiqing pondered, "As far as I know, the cheapest shop in the trading district costs two Spirit Crystal coins per month for rent, equivalent to twenty million Hua Country currency."
Sun Zhe said, "That’s why I want to quickly fight in the Qi Refining District, and then to the Golden Core District, so I can earn enough for the rent."
"If you need it urgently, I can lend it to you first, and you can repay me later."
Sun Zhe thought for a moment, "That works too."
Xia Shiqing suddenly asked, "Do you know why the underground arena only has shops selling medicine, but no medical clinics for treatment?"
"Why?"
"Because treating Martial Artists is different from treating ordinary people. There used to be people who opened clinics in such places as the underground arena, but they all failed, with their signs smashed."
"Of course, if you’ve mastered your grandfather’s medical skills, you might want to give it a try."
Sun Zhe was full of confidence in this, "Then I’ll give it a shot first, how will I know if I can do it without trying?"
"Whatever you say." Xia Shiqing casually handed him four Spirit Crystal coins.
"Why give me four?"
"Rent is two Spirit Crystal coins a month, but that doesn’t include the deposit, silly."
"That’s true."
Sun Zhe accepted the four Spirit Crystal coins, then slowly propped himself up, looking at her with a mischievous grin, "Since you’re lending me so much money, should I give you some interest first?"
"What kind of interest do you want to give?"
Sun Zhe suddenly asked, "Kun?"
Xia Shiqing instantly understood his meaning, her face blushing, she gave him a teasing glance and said, "Curtain!"
Sun Zhe felt a pang of disappointment and asked, "Oh?"
Xia Shiqing snorted coldly, got up, and said, "No!"
Watching her leave with no mercy, Sun Zhe sighed deeply, lamenting that tonight would surely be another long, hard night!
Though her little aunt visited, there was indeed nothing to be done.
Even though he didn’t have a driver’s license, he knew not to run a red light.
...
The next day.
Early in the morning, Sun Zhe went out, bringing Chen Ruolong along to the underground arena.
Upon entering the arena gates, a number of passing Martial Artists warmly greeted him.
Sun Zhe disliked dealing with these people and directly led Chen Ruolong through the alleys, specifically avoiding crowded places.
Chen Ruolong couldn’t help but tease, "Boss, with you becoming famous overnight, you’re now the top trending boy in the underground arena!"
Sun Zhe remained silent, full of contemplations.
Even though he didn’t like being in the limelight, in order to recruit enough disciples for the Undying Pavilion, he indeed needed the fame now, so he had to show his face.
Before long.
Sun Zhe found the shop he had previously scouted, and after negotiating with the landlord and signing the lease agreement, he boldly paid the deposit of two Spirit Crystal coins and the rent of two Spirit Crystal coins.
Looking at this empty, forty to fifty square meter little shop, Chen Ruolong felt a bit lost and asked, "Boss, what’s the name of our clinic going to be?"
Sun Zhe replied without hesitation, "Undying Pavilion."
"Sounds powerful!"
Sun Zhe added, "Our Undying Pavilion’s main businesses are treating illnesses and injuries, providing medicine, and offering elixir alchemy services."
Chen Ruolong looked at him with admiration, "Not surprised you’re my boss, you’re talented!"
"But Boss, if we seriously promote this business, there’ll be lots of pressure."
Sun Zhe chuckled, "I’m confident; as they say, ’If you don’t have the skills, don’t take on the job.’"
"Alright, Little Dragon, you go outside and buy some cleaning supplies to help tidy up, and get some foldable beds as well. I’ll order a sign and buy some medicinal ingredients."
Chen Ruolong seemed a bit bitter, "Didn’t expect that I, Young Master Chen, would be cleaning one day."
Sun Zhe patted him on the shoulder, "How about considering joining my Undying Pavilion?"
Without hesitation, Chen Ruolong said, "Absolutely, Pavilion Master Sun! I want to be the first Chief Disciple of the Undying Pavilion, call me Senior Brother Chen from now on."
Sun Zhe shook his head, "Unfortunately, that’s not how it works; you have many Senior Sisters in Yang City. Your Senior Sister Zhu is actually the Chief Disciple."
Chen Ruolong thought for a moment before asking, "Aren’t they supposed to be Pavilion Master’s Wives?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe paused, "Seems like there’s no issue."
Chen Ruolong laughed heartily, "Then I’ll remain as Chief Disciple!"
"Alright, you’ll be Chief Disciple, although your little brother isn’t big."
"Come on, Boss, how can you say something so harsh? Mine isn’t as big as yours, but it’s not small either, okay?"
"Hahahaha..."
"..."
...
Taking a day, Sun Zhe, with Chen Ruolong’s assistance, finally set up the clinic.
Though quite simple, just a large sign and several beds, it could officially open.
The moment the "Undying Pavilion" sign was hung, it caught the attention of passersby.
There were very few people daring to open a clinic in the underground arena to treat Martial Artists, especially with a name like "Undying Pavilion."
Either the Pavilion Master wasn’t afraid of death or had something impressive!
Moreover, what was even more incredible was that the "Undying Pavilion" not only provided treatment but also offered elixir alchemy services!
"Wow, impressive!"
"Can the Pavilion Master actually perform alchemy?"
A passing Martial Artist looked at Chen Ruolong, who was shouting at the clinic entrance, and walked over to ask, "Does the Pavilion Master really perform alchemy?"
"Of course!" Chen Ruolong patted his chest confidently, "Our Pavilion Master is all-capable! Interested in a service trial?"
"Bring it on! I want a Qi Passage Pill!"
"Sure thing, boss, alchemy for Qi Passage Pill, one hundred thousand per pill."
"Wow, one hundred thousand per pill? So cheap? That other alchemy company charges two hundred thousand per pill!"
Chen Ruolong displayed a professional smile, "It’s a new business, so there’re discounts."
"How about it, boss? If interested, you can order here, pay half as a deposit, and once you gather the ingredients, bring this deposit slip to the Pavilion Master for alchemy."
"I’ve got one set of ingredients with me now; can it be done right away?"
"No problem at all, come back in three hours to pick up the pill."
