Rural Doctor Enters the City: Whoever Touches My Wife, I’ll Take Them Down!
Chapter 1074: One Hour!

Chapter 1074: Chapter 1074: One Hour!

Zhou Yu’s words left everyone stunned.

For a moment, the crowd didn’t know how to react.

How could such a monumental matter be resolved so easily as he claimed?

Can he truly guarantee the Martial Pavilion’s pill medicine supply?

Such a vast quantity required, without the Dan Pavilion, how can he assure that?

Everyone had this doubt in their hearts, yet no one dared to ask.

Just because those below don’t dare to ask doesn’t mean Tong Qiang won’t.

He immediately frowned and scoffed coldly:

"Mr. Zhou, you seem quite bold."

"It’s easy for you to say, but the Martial Pavilion uses a wide range of pill medicines in large quantities. Who can guarantee this supply besides the Dan Pavilion?"

Zhou Yu calmly replied:

"Perhaps I didn’t make myself clear, or your hearing has failed you."

"I said that I can guarantee it."

"You?"

Tong Qiang laughed in disbelief.

"How can you guarantee that?"

"Let’s put it this way: my men just returned from a mission two days ago, and now three of them are seriously injured, urgently in need of nine third-rank Peiyuan pills to recover from internal injuries."

"I approached the Dan Pavilion people, but their stance is clear—they won’t supply medicine to our Martial Pavilion."

"Mr. Zhou, you claim you can provide pill medicine, so where are these Peiyuan pills?"

Upon hearing this, everyone simultaneously looked towards Zhou Yu.

Tong Qiang pressed further, without giving Zhou Yu room to evade. There’s no way he can deceive his way out of this.

The crowd is eager to see how Zhou Yu will respond.

Facing everyone’s attention, Zhou Yu calmly said.

"Isn’t it just third-rank Peiyuan pills?"

"I’ll have them for you in an hour."

After speaking, he glanced at the crowd.

"Is there anything else?"

After Zhou Yu spoke, the crowd actually became uncertain.

Even Tong Qiang froze.

However, he quickly regained his composure.

"Alright, since Mr. Zhou made this promise in front of everyone, I’ll wait for you for an hour. I am curious to see where these pill medicines will come from."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu stood up, stared at Tong Qiang, and said:

"Then watch closely."

Having said that, he waved to Niu Biao.

"Group Leader Niu, come with me."

Niu Biao, bewildered, followed Zhou Yu to the back office, not knowing what to expect.

"Mr. Zhou, what do you need from me?"

Zhou Yu smiled softly.

"I’ve looked over Martial Pavilion’s asset inventory. We have some herbs left in our warehouse, correct?"

"Yes, we do, but those are just common herbs, not finished pill medicine."

"Good, fetch me a few herbs."

As he spoke, Zhou Yu wrote a few herb names on a piece of paper.

Niu Biao stared blankly at the slip, taking a while to process.

"Mr. Zhou, what do you need these... for?"

Zhou Yu chuckled.

"For alchemy, of course."

"Alchemy?" Niu Biao was shocked, almost biting his tongue.

"You... can perform alchemy?"

"Though not very skilled, crafting third-rank pill medicine is not an issue." Zhou Yu said with full confidence.

Upon hearing this, Niu Biao finally understood why Zhou Yu dared to make such bold claims.

He didn’t realize Zhou Yu knew alchemy.

Even if Zhou Yu claimed it himself, Niu Biao remained somewhat skeptical.

To his knowledge, third-rank pill medicine might not be too difficult, but it’s not simple either; it requires at least an Intermediate Alchemist to craft it with uncertain success rates.

Can Zhou Yu truly craft the pill medicine within just one hour?

Niu Biao, mentally hesitant, quickly gathered all the herbs Zhou Yu needed.

In addition to that, he fetched a long-unused Alchemy Furnace.

"Mr. Zhou, this Alchemy Furnace was something we accidentally acquired during a mission years ago; since no one knows how to use it, I brought it along for you."

Zhou Yu smiled slightly and accepted the Alchemy Furnace.

"Group Leader Niu, thoughtful of you."

"Alright, wait outside."

"By the way, tell Tong Qiang that if he wants the pill medicine later, he needs to kneel down and apologize first."

Upon hearing this, Niu Biao’s complexion changed, deeply glancing at Zhou Yu before stepping outside.

After Niu Biao left, Zhou Yu began crafting.

Zhou Yu learned most from the old man about Martial Arts and Medical Skill.

And within Medical Skill, it included alchemy.

Regarding the classification of pill medicine ranks, Zhou Yu knew them inside out.

Generally, pill medicines are divided into nine ranks.

Basic Alchemists can craft first- and second-rank pill medicines, Intermediate Alchemists can craft third- and fourth-rank pill medicines, Senior Alchemists can craft fifth to sixth-rank pill medicines, and as for seventh-rank and above, only Grandmaster-level alchemists have the chance to craft them.

Back when Zhou Yu followed the old man, he crafted pill medicines above the seventh rank, mere third-rank Peiyuan pills were certainly within his grasp.

Speaking as he began crafting.

Meanwhile, outside Zhou Yu’s study.

Lin Yinfly and others had all gathered.

The crowd had already learned from Niu Biao that Zhou Yu was performing alchemy.

Upon learning this, they were naturally shocked.

Especially Lin Yinfly, who finally understood where Zhou Yu’s confidence came from, though this matter sounded astonishing, for some unknown reason, he instantly believed that Zhou Yu would indeed craft them.

But Tong Qiang remained utterly unconvinced.

With a cold expression, he said:

"Even if he knows alchemy, third-rank pill medicines aren’t trivial. In one hour, I don’t believe he can craft them."

Upon hearing this, Niu Biao looked at Tong Qiang.

"Deputy Minister Tong, I forgot to relay a message. Mr. Zhou mentioned."

"Later, if you wish to obtain the pill medicine, you need to kneel down and apologize first."

Upon hearing these words, everyone showed a look of shock.

If this were true, it would be equivalent to forcing Tong Qiang to submit.

This move is utterly brilliant.

If Tong Qiang doesn’t apologize, he would lose support, but if he does apologize, at least Zhou Yu has already suppressed him in terms of momentum.

Afterward, if Tong Qiang wants to stir trouble like today, it would be much more difficult.

At that moment, everyone turned to look at Tong Qiang.

Tong Qiang’s face was dark as water, snorting coldly.

"My subordinates desperately need that medicine now; if he exceeds the time, even if it is freely given, I won’t take it."

"However, if my subordinates die from this or are left with lasting injuries, he will be held responsible."
