"What kind of medicine did he get that made him abandon his family business and run off?" Ye Tian asked.
"I heard it was a piece of medicine wrapped in wax, and he never opened it. After the owner peeled off the wax, he left that very night without even telling his apprentices," Ren Ping replied.
Ye Tian mused, "This medicine must have some miraculous effect that changes his destiny."
"However, there's still much we don't know about this matter, so people might come looking for you to manage the medicinal materials later," Ren Ping added.
Ye Tian chuckled, "That would be great. I've gotten a huge bargain. Old Ren, could you please contact the former shop assistants from the pharmacy?"
Ren Ping nodded, "Leader, I've already had people looking for them. Those willing to come back can return to the clinic today."
As they were talking, a young Taoist priest walked in. He scanned the surroundings and asked, "Where is the boss?"
Ye Tian walked over, "That's me."
The man sized him up and said, "Where's the original boss? I don't think I've seen you before."
"The original boss quit," Ye Tian replied.
The young Taoist priest grunted, "Are you related to the original boss, or a friend?"
"I don't know him. I just took over this clinic," Ye Tian said.
The young Taoist priest nodded, then turned and left.
Similar people came one after another at intervals. They neither treated illnesses nor bought medicine. They would ask a few questions and then leave.
As more people arrived, Ren Ping remarked, "These are all people coming to gather information. They probably don't believe what you said, Leader."
Ye Tian sighed, "I originally wanted to open a clinic, but I didn't expect to take over such a troublesome business."
"If you can acquire good medicine, this trouble will be worth it," Su Hongyan said.
In the evening, Ye Tian had the imperial kitchen send over meals, and everyone dined in the restaurant. As they were finishing, someone else arrived.
The sky outside had already darkened. The newcomer was masked and wearing sunglasses, looking travel-worn. He opened a leather suitcase, revealing five pieces of amber, each about the size of a fist.
Seeing these amber pieces, Ye Tian's heart stirred. He also had some amber, which he had bought at a considerable price. Later, he used a few to treat Sun Huanzhen's injuries, and he still had twelve left.
"Are you selling?" he asked.
The man nodded, "Make an offer."
Ye Tian knew that anyone who came here must be an expert. After some thought, he said, "This is a small business, and I can't take too much. For these five, I only want two of them, at twenty million each."
He had already sensed that among the five amber pieces, only two emitted a faint spiritual aura.
The other party thought for a moment and said, "Alright."
Ye Tian then selected two pieces of amber and had Lin Ziyi transfer the money to the man.
After selling the amber, the man said, "Although you are not the previous boss, you are straightforward in business. We can continue to cooperate. I still have some amber. Are you interested?"
"I can take a look," Ye Tian replied.
The man left a note, "You can come to this location to inspect the goods at midnight tonight." He then picked up his suitcase and left. Da Feng Novel Network.
Ye Tian picked up the note and saw an address written on it.
"Brother Tian, don't go. We don't know him well. What if it's a trap they've set?" Lin Ziyi warned.
"I think so too," Ren Ping agreed.
Ye Tian smiled, "It doesn't matter. If they are indeed amber, I can buy more. If it's a trap, then I'll save the money I would have spent on buying amber
