Luo Can looked at him, a faint smile playing on her lips, and asked, "Are you hiring doctors here?"
Bai Chen was slightly taken aback, then carefully examined Luo Can in front of him.
The man in front of me looked ordinary, but the composure and calmness in his eyes were undeniable, unlike a quack doctor who was just swindling people.
He pondered for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Of course we'll hire you. As long as you pass our assessments in areas such as diagnosis, dispensing medicine, and identifying herbs, you can stay on as a staff member."
Luo Can nodded, his tone calm. "Okay, then take me in for the assessment."
Bai Chen immediately gestured for them to proceed, leading Luo Can and the other two through the front of the shop and towards the consultation room in the back.
Just as he stepped into the consultation room and closed the door, he turned around and saw that Luo Can had removed his disguise, revealing his original appearance.
Bai Chen was slightly taken aback at first, then reacted, his face instantly filled with excitement, and he quickly bowed and said, "Your subordinate Bai Chen greets the Pavilion Master!"
"No need for formalities." Luo Can waved his hand and casually instructed, "Arrange for me to be a physician at a herbal medicine shop. I need to take care of some business around Nuoding City in the next few days, and this identity will provide cover."
"Yes! I'll take care of it immediately!" Bai Chen nodded hurriedly, not daring to delay for even a moment.
Luo Can carefully examined him, a smile of approval appearing on his face, "It seems your cultivation hasn't lagged behind during this time; you're almost level twenty-seven already, not bad."
Upon hearing this, Bai Chen scratched his head sheepishly, "This is all thanks to the cultivation resources provided by the Pavilion Master; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to improve so quickly."
"Yes, cultivate diligently and don't waste these resources I've given you." Luo Can nodded and added, "When you run out of pills and cultivation resources in the future, just let me know, and I'll have the medicine delivery team bring them over next time."
"Thank you very much, Pavilion Master!" Bai Chen quickly bowed and expressed his gratitude.
Next, the two chatted about the development of this branch.
Although current revenue is not yet comparable to that of the main store in Yaowang Town, business is steadily increasing every day, and it has now achieved a balance between income and expenditure, with a very promising future development trend.
"Alright, go downstairs and arrange a place for me to stay. I need a quiet little courtyard." Luo Can waved his hand, ending the conversation.
"Yes!" Bai Chen bowed and withdrew.
Qian Renxue activated her disguise again outside the door, and he returned to his ordinary appearance, returning to the front shop with him.
Thus, the itinerant physician named Luo Yan naturally took a job at Luo's Herb Shop in Nuoding City.
In the afternoon, Bai Chen had already arranged his accommodations. It was a secluded courtyard with two main rooms in the backyard of the herbal medicine shop, a quiet and peaceful place.
After settling in, Luo Can had Bai Chen summon the two spies from the Ye Clan who were responsible for surveillance in Nuoding City.
"Your subordinates greet the Pavilion Master!" As soon as the two spies entered, they immediately knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully to Luo Can.
Luo Can waved his hand, gesturing for them to stand up and sit down, and asked, "What has been Yu Xiaogang's been up to lately? Has anything unusual happened?"
"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, it's the same as always." One of the spies immediately bowed and replied, "He spends most of his time in the Nuoding Academy library, and occasionally goes to the Spirit Hall Branch in Nuoding City to collect his monthly Spirit Master stipend. Apart from that, he hardly goes out and doesn't associate with anyone."
Luo Can nodded, then asked, "When is the Spirit Awakening Ceremony for the Spirit Hall Branch scheduled to begin?"
"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, it's less than half a month. In previous years, preparations usually begin around this time. In a few days, the deacons of the branch hall will take the Awakening Stone to the surrounding villages to awaken the martial souls of the eligible children."
"Okay." Luo Can responded, then instructed, "Notify me as soon as the Spirit Hall's deacons begin their rural operations."
"Understood!"
The two spies bowed and accepted the order, then quietly withdrew.
After they left, Qian Renxue walked to the window, glanced at the situation outside, casually closed the window, and activated her soul power to set up a soundproof barrier.
"Husband, what do we plan to do next? Should we first go to the surrounding villages to find out the situation, or should we go and meet Yu Xiaogang?" Qian Renxue sat down next to him and asked with great interest.
"Hmm... Tomorrow we'll leave the city first, find the location of Holy Soul Village, and while we're at it, use our position as a doctor at the herbal medicine shop to thoroughly investigate the surrounding villages." Luo Can tapped his fingers lightly on the table as he spoke slowly. "When the Spirit Hall's deacons go to the countryside to awaken their spirits, we can just happen to run into Deacon Su Yuntao, go with him to Holy Soul Village, and even witness Tang San's famous spirit awakening ceremony."
"Oh? I'm actually quite interested in that Su Yuntao." Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "I want to see how he can mistake a genius with Innate Full Soul Power for a Trash Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass."
"As for the Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy..." Luo Can changed the subject, a playful smile playing on his lips, " Yu Xiaogang is right there, holding the title of ' Grandmaster Martial Soul Theory ' while holding a sinecure as an honorary advisor. If you want to meet him, you can do so anytime, no rush."
The two chatted away, quickly making clear arrangements for the upcoming itinerary. After finishing their business, Luo Can called Tang Ya over from the next room.
He looked at the expectant little girl and asked with a smile, " Xiao Ya, would you like to come with us to the countryside tomorrow?"
"Yes! I want to go!" Tang Ya nodded vigorously immediately.
Luo Can gently patted her head and earnestly instructed her, "When I'm treating patients, you'll help me fetch the medicinal herbs and prepare the prescriptions. Remember, you absolutely cannot make a mistake."
"Yes! I'll remember, Master!!" Tang Ya nodded repeatedly in assurance.
Luo Can smiled and added, "If Tang San takes the initiative to talk to you, don't be nervous. Just talk to him like you would to a normal child. There's no need to deliberately avoid him."
"Okay! I understand!"
As night fell, lights began to twinkle in Nuoding City, and the daytime hustle and bustle gradually faded away, leaving only the occasional bark of a dog.
Lying in bed, Tang Ya stared wide-eyed at the dark rafters, her mind racing with thoughts.
Finally, I can meet the legendary Sea God Tang San. Will he really be like his master said, a child who appears calm and sensible on the surface, but harbors many secrets and a ruthless heart?
The little girl grew increasingly sleepy as she thought about it, and before she knew it, she had fallen into a deep sleep.
In the next room, Luo Can and Qian Renxue did not fall asleep immediately.
" Xue'er, your mental power covers the entire city. Have you found Yu Xiaogang's exact location?" Luo Can transmitted his voice through his soul power, his voice ringing in Qian Renxue's mind.
"Yes, found it." Qian Renxue's voice responded immediately, "In the east of the city, behind the Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy, there is a row of separate faculty dormitories. In one of the rooms, there is a Spirit Master with a Soul Power of about level 29, living alone. The surrounding environment is also very quiet. It is definitely Yu Xiaogang."
"It should be him," Luo Can replied. "Let's find out more about Tang San first, and then give him the 'gift' we've prepared in a couple of days."
"Hehe, I really want to know what kind of filthy thoughts that man has in his head." Qian Renxue chuckled, her tone full of eager anticipation. "Husband, what do you think would be the most interesting way for us to 'accidentally' bump into him?"
"Aren't you a wandering scholar?" Luo Can replied with a smile. "Let's find a place he often passes by, and then you can take his book, < The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul >, and publicly criticize it. I don't believe he can stay calm and not come up to argue with you."
"Alright, alright! That's settled then!" Qian Renxue smiled brightly, a glint of cunning in her eyes. "If he dares to come up and argue with me, I'll use reverse psychology to force him into a debate on Martial Soul Theory with me at the Nuoding Academy. Then, in front of everyone, I'll utterly discredit his flawed theory!"
She knew all too well that when someone's faith was shattered in public, the more broken and emotionally agitated they were, the easier it would be for her to use the Angel Martial Soul's abilities to draw out their deepest, most genuine thoughts.
She wanted to see what kind of person this man, whom her mother had been infatuated with her whole life, really was.
