Ye Fan did not receive his reward immediately, instead, he took the two children back to Dongxiang Village.

After the dinner, Ye Fan excused himself as being tired, lay on the bed, and then chose to claim his reward.

“Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Alchemy Dao: level one”

A massive surge of memories instantaneously flooded into his mind, making Ye Fan cry out in distress.

Alchemy Dao did not only refer to alchemy, but also involved medical skills and dispensing formulas.

Cold diseases, heat diseases, rare chronic diseases, ways to prepare powder mixtures, and how to refine elixirs.

In his memories, Ye Fan experienced a cycle of rebirth.

All skills were thoroughly understood.

When he opened his eyes, a trace of vicissitude was revealed in Ye Fan's eyes.

Phew!

He exhaled turbid breath, Ye Fan now had a full understanding of his current abilities.

Saving people, preparing powder mixtures, refining elixirs, he had mastered all of them.

The skills awarded by this system were not the ordinary pill refining known to the world.

They were actually the elixir refining skills from the six arts of Cultivation!

The first level represented the Qi Cultivation Realm.

Ye Fan didn't know which realm of the martial arts corresponded to the Qi Cultivation Realm in the Cultivation path, but he knew that this skill was very powerful.

However, this ability was not without its limitations. While Ye Fan knew how to refine pills and had pill recipes, he had no cultivation level and couldn't control the spiritual fire. Even if he had medicinal materials in front of him, he was incapable of refining real elixirs.

For the current Ye Fan, the useful skills in Alchemy Dao were the medical skills and the ways to prepare powder mixtures.

For example, Body Building Powder can be used in the Body Forging Realm, and the Qi Boosting Powder can be used in the Postnatal Realm, etc.

Having absorbed the memories, Ye Fan felt very happy.

With these skills, he had already had enough to live in Changhe Town.

At the very least, becoming a physician was certainly achievable.

In this way, his sons could practice martial arts while he earned money to support the family, surely it would develop slowly over time.

“My dear, what do you think about moving?”

Upon hearing Ye Fan's words, Su Yan was stunned, “Move?”

“Yes, our entire family will move to Changhe Town,” Ye Fan replied.

“My dear, if our whole family moves to Changhe Town, how will we make a living?”

Su Yan naturally hoped to live in a better place, but they had no professional skills. What would they rely on for a living when they reached Changhe Town?

“Don't worry, I have studied some medical techniques in the past. It won't be a problem to find a medical hall to work as an apprentice,” Ye Fan reassured.

Upon hearing Ye Fan's words, Su Yan was shocked. She was then overwhelmed with joy and looked at Ye Fan with adoration in her eyes.

Her beloved could actually practice medicine! She was so lucky to have found a treasure of a man.

No, he should be referred to as a treasure of a husband!

The Ye Family didn't have any valuable possessions. They rolled up their clothes and bedding, and with the blessing of the villagers, made their way to the town.

As for the old house, Ye Fan left it to Wang Dong.

They had been neighbors, and since Wang Dong had found such a wonderful wife for Ye Fan, he naturally wanted to express his gratitude.

Soon, Ye Fan led his family back to Changhe Town.

After tidying up the new rented house on the outskirts of Changhe Town, Ye Fan sent the two children to the Iron Armor Martial Arts Hall.

By the way, Ye Fan also wanted to see what the martial arts in this world was really like.

The fees had been paid, and it was officially time to start school.

Before entering the school, a test was conducted, specifically a bone touching examination to determine their aptitude for martial arts practice.

Aptitude was a prerequisite, no matter where you went.

Those with good aptitude could achieve in one day what those with poor aptitude would take several days to achieve.

Furthermore, at the stage of facing bottlenecks, aptitude was even more important.

After the bone touching examination was completed, Ye Fan was met with unsatisfactory news.

The aptitude of Ye Jintian and Ye Jinhai was quite mediocre. They were just barely able to practice martial arts and could likely only reach the early part of the Body Forging Realm before encountering significant difficulties.

Moreover, it would also consume a substantial amount of resources.

Body Forging entails twelve stages. The first three stages make one stronger than ordinary people.

Stages four to six represent the mid-phase of Body Forging, allowing one to defeat dozens of unarmed commoners.

Stages seven to nine see the late phase of Body Forging, where one begins to nourish their internal organs, greatly enhancing their combat power.

Ordinary unarmed people stand no chance against a martial artist in the late phase of Body Forging, no matter how many there are.

At the stage beyond ten, at the Peak of Body Forging, one begins to nourish their energy and blood in preparation for breaking through to the Postnatal Realm, becoming even stronger.

Now, the strongest in Changhe Town are the martial artists at the ninth stage of Body Forging, and there are only a few of them.

Among them, Mu Tie, the head of the Iron Armor Martial Arts Hall, is a strong man at the ninth stage of Body Forging.

But the news about his sons' poor potential did not discourage Ye Fan's determination to have them learn martial arts.

For an ordinary family, perhaps they might not afford to support two sons with poor potential in practicing martial arts.

However, for Ye Fan, who possesses the skills of the Alchemy Dao, it might be a bit exhausting, but it's not impossible.

Among the Alchemy Dao skills that Ye Fan acquired, there are formulas that could assist in Body Forging.

Once concocted, even if it's just a pig, Ye Fan could push it to the Peak of Body Forging.

Moreover, who said that talent for martial arts training could not be improved?

Ye Fan estimated that if it were not for the familial attribute he got from the newbie gift pack, his two sons would have shown no aptitude for martial arts at all.

Opening more attributes concerning aptitude in the future, everything would no longer be a problem.

After Ye Jintian and Jin Hai successfully joined the Iron Armor Martial Arts Hall, Ye Fan did not go home. Instead, he searched for a medical clinic to find a job.

There weren't many clinics in Changhe Town. Ye Fan chose a large one near his home, named Five Blessings Hall.

Five Blessings, refer to longevity, wealth, tranquillity, virtue, and a peaceful death. The place with such a name should not be too bad, presumably.

Upon entering the clinic, an elderly man dressed in plain robes with white hair and beard, examined Ye Fan.

“Young man, what brings you here?”

“Doctor, I am looking for a job. Do you have a vacancy here?” Ye Fan politely asked.

“What skills do you possess? Our clinic is currently not accepting apprentices.”

The old man looked at Ye Fan, who didn't look like he knew medical treatment.

“I know a little family heritage medical treatment, and I can also make medicines,” Ye Fan humbly mentioned.

“Making medicines? Can you really make medicines?”

While a physician is a physician, a pharmacist is a pharmacist. A pharmacist who can make medicines and master prescriptions holds no less value than a physician.

Who would wander about the world without carrying medicines such as Hemostatic Powder for emergencies?

Hemostatic Powder, Detoxification Powder, etc., are all high demand products.

As for Body Building Powder, only Duobao Pavilion sells it in the entire Changhe Town.

One dose costs ten pieces of silver, unaffordable for ordinary people.

Ye Fan's ability to make medicines immediately attracted the attention of the old doctor.

Wanting to get this job, Ye Fan suggested preparing two prescriptions on the spot.

The doctor took Ye Fan to the backyard. During their casual chatter, Ye Fan learned the old man's name was Wang Fu, the owner of Five Blessings Hall.

Hemostatic Herb, Long-Seed Grass – Ye Fan could instantly identify the medicinal effects of every herb, all of them being excellent medicinal materials.

Ye Fan did not use his original formulas but used simplified ones instead.

Even though they were simplified, their effectiveness was considered top-tier in this small town.

Wang Fu, being an experienced physician though not able to prepare medicines himself, could tell whether a medicine had effect or not based on his familiarity.

It didn't take long for Wang Fu to confirm that this seemingly ordinary old man indeed knew how to prepare medicines, and was quite skilled at it.

Once he confirmed the medicines' effects, Wang Fu immediately offered Ye Fan a position as a pharmacist in Five Blessings Hall.

As for the salary, it would be ten pieces of silver a month, requiring the preparation of fifty batches of Hemostatic Powder and twenty batches of Detoxification Powder.

If he had the capacity, for every additional dose prepared, he would receive an extra money (unit of silver).

With one money being a tenth of a silver piece, this salary was considered a high-income job in Changhe Town.

Regardless of the world, being skilled in a profession ensures one doesn't have to worry about basic livelihood.
