"It really is newly opened. I remember there wasn't a pharmacy here before..."
Yamanaka Ino looked around outside, then impatiently said to Sakura, "Let's go, Sakura. Hurry inside to check it out."
"Ino, there's no rush..."
Sakura, with her arm being pulled, smiled helplessly. Even at this age, Ino's personality was still the same as before.
Once they entered the pharmacy, they heard the ding of a bell, signaling a greeting; soon, Yamanaka Ino and Sakura saw a remarkably good-looking, uniquely charismatic young man coming down the stairs.
With Genetic Primordial Energy and Chakra cultivated to an incredibly high level, Uchiha Yoichi's lifespan would be at least a few thousand years. Even without consciously maintaining his appearance, he wouldn't change for a thousand years.
"Sakura, he's a handsome shop owner!"
Yamanaka Ino's eyes turned into small hearts at the sight of Uchiha Yoichi and she whispered to Sakura.
Sakura quickly lowered her voice and said, "Ino, you're married..."
"I know, just looking."
After speaking, Yamanaka Ino reined in her exaggerated demeanor but still gave Sakura a wink.
Sakura could only sigh inwardly at this, then stepped forward and smiled at Uchiha Yoichi, "Are you the owner here? I saw your advertisement in the newspaper saying you buy medicinal materials..."
"That's correct. Today is the grand opening, and I'm pleased to welcome two guests."
After finishing his sentence, Uchiha Yoichi moved to the counter and continued, "May I ask who is planning to sell medicinal materials?"
"It's me. I have a ginseng at home that's of no use, so I intend to sell it."
After Sakura said this, she took out a pre-prepared box and placed it on the counter, "Could you please tell me how much this would sell for?"
"No problem, you're my first customer, and I assure a fair price."
Uchiha Yoichi said this and opened the box, glancing at the ginseng inside before slowly nodding, then shaking his head.
With his alchemy experience, he could instantly discern the age and condition of medicinal materials. Haruno... now it should be Uchiha Sakura; the ginseng she brought had a decent age, about thirty-six years, but it was poorly preserved, almost no preservation at all...
"Approximately thirty-six years old ginseng, from excavation to boxing has been around two years and seven months, but the preservation has been a bit poor... thirty thousand ryo, how does that sound to you?"
"Thirty thousand ryo? Isn't that a bit too low?"
Before Sakura could speak, Yamanaka Ino spoke up for her friend; she guessed that Sakura was selling this medicinal material to help with household expenses since it seemed only Sakura had a house bought with a mortgage among her friends.
"Owner, we're medical ninjas. This medicinal herb surely wouldn't be this cheap, you shouldn't deceive us..."
Uchiha Yoichi pushed the box back and shook his head, "If you think my offered price is too low, you can inquire elsewhere. However, you should be aware of the age and excavation time of the herb, and my price is quite fair."
"Hey..."
"Ino, let it go..."
Sakura quickly pulled Yamanaka Ino aside after hearing Uchiha Yoichi's words and realized the price was indeed fair; mainly because she had forgotten preservation earlier, making the material's appearance less appealing.
After pulling Ino aside, Sakura spoke to Uchiha Yoichi again, "Thank you, let's settle it at that price."
"No problem, here's the receipt, here's thirty thousand ryo, just sign here."
Once Uchiha Yoichi had Sakura sign the receipt, he handed her the money and then collected the ginseng.
"If you have more valuable medicinal materials, you might consider selling them to me. I'll accept the best of them all."
Upon hearing this, Sakura curiously asked, "Boss, are you a medical ninja or a pharmacist?"
Uchiha Yoichi shook his head and said, "Neither really, just good at alchemy."
"Then are there secret medicines for sale here, is it convenient for me to take a look?"
"Of course, here's a list and prices of the secret medicines being sold."
Uchiha Yoichi handed the secret medicine price list to Uchiha Sakura, which showed the first to third-grade elixirs and improved Soldier Pills he had for sale.
Since he planned to practice alchemy skills regularly, some of his practice works could be sold off, but only Soldier Pills and first-grade elixirs could be bought with money; from third-grade elixirs onwards, they required exchanging for precious medicinal materials.
"This expensive?"
Upon seeing the prices, Sakura and Yamanaka Ino were both startled. The two women simultaneously raised their heads and asked Uchiha Yoichi in shock, "Boss, did you write the prices wrong? Recovery Pill for thirty thousand ryo? What secret medicine could be so costly?"
"Exactly, you get what you pay for. Wasn't the ginseng just sold for thirty thousand ryo? As it's a secret medicine, naturally it has its secret effects... Besides, if I were scamming, this much money would be enough for them to wreck my shop."
Uchiha Yoichi mentioned that they were asking about the special Soldier Pills, capable of restoring the full Chakra of a Jonin within one or two minutes, making them worth that price.
Additionally, most first-grade elixirs start at fifty to sixty thousand ryo, and second-grade elixirs start at several hundred thousand ryo; however, their effects are excellent, with third-grade elixirs at least doubling a Jonin's particular ability.
And there's no side effect, entirely different from the Akimichi Family's Three-Colored Pills.
Uchiha secret medicine, in another dimension, is highly sought after.
Sakura expressed doubt and said, "Are these secret medicines really as miraculous as stated? What if they don't have this effect..."
