Chapter 886: 10 Days
Yang Haoran did not speak, as he was considering the pros and cons. Seeing this, Guyi couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Boss, please, please give me a chance. For a young person like me, not having the opportunity to showcase my talents is a tragic thing. You can rest assured and hand over the shop to me. I can do the work of several people, and I'll only take one salary. Even a vegetable person can see that this is a profitable deal!"
Guyi begged persistently, with a pitiful expression.
Upon hearing this, a smile reappeared on Yang Haoran's face. He turned slightly to look at Guyi, and the latter's face immediately showed a look of anticipation.
"If I give you time, how long will it take you to reach an entry-level standard?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Guyi first paused, then quickly reacted, and her heart was filled with joy.
"Half a month! No, ten days! As long as the Boss provides me with the relevant materials, I only need ten days at most to reach the entry-level standard, no more, no less!" Guyi hurriedly assured.
"Okay, rather than waiting for that unknown shop manager to show up, I'll give you this opportunity. I'll prepare the materials for you, and in ten days, I'll assess you. If you can reach a standard that satisfies me, you'll be the acting manager of this Serene Medicine Shop," Yang Haoran said with a smile.
"Really? That's great! Don't worry, Boss! I absolutely won't let you down! You'll find that the decision you're making now is the right one!"
"Haha, don't be too happy too early. I've given you the opportunity, but I must say something upfront. If, after ten days, you are unable to reach a level that satisfies me, then this acting manager position will have nothing to do with you. No matter how much you beg, it won't work. Don't blame me then," Yang Haoran said with a smile.
"No, no, no! I definitely won't blame the Boss! And I'm confident in my abilities!"
Guyi's excited emotions did not diminish at all due to Yang Haoran's words. On the contrary, judging from her appearance, she didn't seem to take Yang Haoran's words to heart at all, as she had absolute confidence in herself.
"Then it's settled. I'll find the relevant classics as soon as possible, and the time will be counted from when I hand over all the classics to you. As for this medicine shop, it won't be open for the time being. It's been through so much, so another ten days or half a month won't make a difference."
After making this decision, Yang Haoran suddenly felt a great sense of relief. Previously, he had been trapped in a quagmire, feeling uncomfortable, but now he felt light as a feather, and the air even seemed sweeter.
"Boss, hurry up and help me find all the materials. I'm full of energy now and can read ten books at a go. I know where there's a bookstore, and they must have the materials we need. I took a good look last time I passed by..."
Before Yang Haoran could even finish speaking, Guyi had already hurriedly urged him.
Yang Haoran had wanted to take a breather before dealing with this matter, but he didn't expect Guyi to be so eager.
After thinking about it, he didn't refuse Guyi and nodded, asking Ban Kui to activate the shop's protective barrier. Then, he led the two, whose physiques were completely disproportionate, out of the Serene Medicine Shop and headed to the bookstore Guyi had mentioned.
The underworld also has bookstores, and the books sold there are not Ghost Techniques, but ordinary books. However, the content is quite strange and covers various topics, including books on spiritual medicinal materials and elixirs.
These books are not very expensive individually, as they rely on volume sales, unlike some powerful secret techniques that can sell at high prices.
After visiting several bookstores, Yang Haoran bought more than ten books on elixirs and spiritual medicinal materials. They varied in thickness and content.
Originally, Yang Haoran thought that in the next ten days, Guyi only needed to remember the content of these ten-plus books roughly, and if she could remember about 70-80% of the content in these ten-plus books, her knowledge of elixirs and spiritual medicinal materials would definitely reach the entry-level standard he had in mind.
After all, these ten-plus books stacked up would be nearly a meter tall, and the content in them was quite rich. For an ordinary person to remember the main points of all these books in ten days would be impossible, at least in his opinion.
So, to avoid putting too much pressure on Guyi, he decided to just buy these ten-plus books for now. Once Guyi had thoroughly memorized the content of these ten-plus books, he would then buy her some new related books.
What he didn't expect was that Guyi felt these ten-plus books were not enough and actively asked to buy a few more.
Regarding Guyi's request, he was somewhat amused, but since Guyi had said so, he had no choice but to indulge her. He also wanted to see how strong Guyi's learning ability and memory were.
Although he had seen Guyi's past through the ghost eye and had a certain understanding of her learning ability and memory, that feeling was like watching a movie, not as profound as being personally present. VisitMyVirtualLibraryEmpire(M_VLEMPYR)formore.
Moreover, the ghost eye could only tell him that Guyi's learning ability was very strong, but it could not reveal Guyi's limits. This was a good opportunity for him to take a look.
According to Guyi's request, he visited another bookstore and bought a few more books on elixirs and spiritual medicinal materials. In total, including the previous purchases, there were twenty-two books.
He was a bit worried that Guyi might be too ambitious and unable to digest so many books in just ten days, but Guyi was full of confidence and made another promise to him, putting his mind at ease.
Since Guyi had said so, he naturally wouldn't say anything more. He would just wait and see the results after ten days.
After leaving the bookstore, Guyi immediately took out a book and started reading while walking, seeming to want to make the most of every minute and not waste a single moment.
As for the other books, they were carried by Ban Kui.
Seeing Guyi's diligence, Yang Haoran felt quite relieved. Even if Guyi didn't reach the target in ten days, as long as she had this kind of drive, he believed Guyi would eventually reach the level he had in mind, or even surpass it.
On the way back to the medicine shop, Yang Haoran couldn't help but glance at Guyi curiously. He saw that Guyi was completely focused on the book in her hands, not at all aware that Yang Haoran was watching her.
After observing for a while, Yang Haoran was inwardly quite startled. Guyi's reading speed was really too fast, it could be described as "reading at a glance." He hadn't even had time to understand the content, but Guyi had already turned the page.
He really wanted to ask Guyi if she had truly understood what she was reading, but to avoid disturbing Guyi, he held back.
If Guyi was just pretending in front of him, it would be fine, but if she really understood and remembered the content as she turned the pages, then it would be terrifying. Perhaps these twenty-two books would not be enough for her to read.
Yang Haoran felt that Guyi was not just putting on a show in front of him. This was not only his feeling, but also his observation.
In his opinion, Guyi might truly have an extraordinary memory. This made him look forward to the assessment in ten days.
Back at the Serene Medicine Shop, Guyi was still immersed in the book in her hands, completely unaware of what was happening around her, as if the world only existed between her and the book.
Yang Haoran did not disturb Guyi. After instructing Ban Kui a few things, he immediately left the Serene Medicine Shop.
It wasn't until Yang Haoran had left the Serene Medicine Shop that Guyi realized it, still engrossed in the book she was reading.
After leaving the Serene Medicine Shop, Yang Haoran immediately headed to Yellow Springs Road, returning to the Mortal Realm.
After the Serene Medicine Shop opened, Feng Xiao would be his main force. Whether the medicines in the shop could keep up was all up to Feng Xiao, so he had to have a good talk with Feng Xiao to avoid any dissatisfaction on Feng Xiao's part.
Although he would try to have more alchemists under his command in the future, this was only a part of his plan, or rather, his idea. Whether he could actually achieve this remained to be seen. Before that, the key to the Serene Medicine Shop's stability in the underworld still depended on Feng Xiao.
