Chapter 43: Encounter on the Road

After mastering the complete Secret Medicine formula himself, Xu Guang finally realized the massive profits Master Zhao made from taking in disciples.

Take the Returning Mountain Skill, for example. Its Skin Polishing Secret Medicine consisted entirely of common ingredients available in any pharmacy. The Golden Willow Skill was likely the same, yielding nearly a hundredfold in profit.

The Bone Forging Secret Medicine was slightly more troublesome, requiring He Shouwu that was over fifty years old, but it still raked in a substantial sum.

Clearly, Zhao Fu's primary source of income came from his low-level disciples.

For dozens of portions of ingredients, Xu Guang spent a total of twenty-six taels and three maces of silver. As for the He Shouwu, he searched through four pharmacies before finally purchasing it for seventy taels of silver at a shop belonging to the Cheng Family.
