Chapter 489

When the medicine for internal organs was delivered to major pharmacies, the owners of these pharmacies were a little confused.

A new drug?

It was only after reading the instruction manual that they understood its purpose.

The medicine was meant for internal injuries.

Whether it was the heart, liver, lungs, or spleen, it could effectively treat them.

However, upon reading the contraindications, these pharmacy owners noticed something unusual.

Contraindications: [Please note that this medicine has a strong function of nourishing the kidneys, so please do not drink too much.]

When they saw this note, their expressions turned strange.

Was this really a contraindication?

Or was it more of a special reminder?

But such a feature made the pharmacy owners even more curious.

Some of them immediately picked up a bottle and drank it.

Kidneys?

If this medicine truly had such an effect, it would definitely be a best-seller.

No more worries about wives scolding their husbands.

Just take the medicine for internal injuries.

No matter what deficiency you have, it could help.

At that moment, the pharmacy managers were already brainstorming advertisement slogans.

With this in mind, they quickly took action.

These pharmacy managers had a group chat.

At that moment, the chat exploded.

No one expected the new batch of medicine to have such an effect.

Immediately, they all decided to start promoting it.

They were also aware that these medicines had been diluted.

Master Takumi was worried that an overdose might cause problems.

So he had it diluted tenfold.

Otherwise, the effects would be even stronger.

The pharmacy owners understood Takumi's concerns.

They had all tried the medicine themselves.

Naturally, they knew its effects.

It was understandable why Takumi had made such adjustments.

After all, overuse could lead to issues.

After discussing in their group chat, they all decided to place the medicine in a prominent location.

They also copied the instruction manual and posted it at the entrance.

Passersby who saw the notice couldn't help but stop and take a closer look out of curiosity.

And once they did, the eyes of Liyue's male residents lit up.

Without hesitation, they rushed into the store and shouted:

"Boss, give me a few bottles of the internal injury medicine!"

"I was injured by the Hilichurls before."

"It just so happens that this medicine is now available."

The customers gave their excuses with straight faces, without even blushing.

But the pharmacy owners seemed to understand.

Without a word, they handed them a few bottles.

As the first customer appeared, the second and third quickly followed.

Each had their own excuse.

Some claimed they were attacked by slimes, others by Hilichurls, and so on.

This left the pharmacy owners speechless.

Come on, we're all men here—can't we just be honest?

What's there to be embarrassed about?

Attacked by a slime? Seriously? Why not capture one instead?

Slimes were quite valuable these days.

Liyue was constantly buying slimes.

And since the uses of slime condensate were still being explored, its price was rising.

Regardless, the demand for the medicine was skyrocketing.

Especially as word spread among those who had used it and found it effective.

A few days later, when Takumi received the news, his expression turned odd.

Nice.

It seemed the production speed needed to increase.

Otherwise, supply wouldn't meet demand.

Meanwhile, the delegation from Sumeru had finally arrived in Liyue.

They were passing through a long tunnel and eventually reached the Chasm.

As they arrived, they heard distant explosions.

This startled them.

What the heck was going on?

When Tighnari and Cyno led the group out of the tunnel, they saw it too.

A little girl in red was tossing bombs around.

She was blasting apart solid rock formations.

In the distance, another girl was giving her directions.

Collei, who was following behind Tighnari, saw the red figure and was surprised.

"Klee?"

Collei quickly called out.

Klee, who was about to throw another bomb, paused when she heard someone calling her name.

She looked around and saw a group of people.

Klee was full of confusion.

At that moment, Collei ran over.

"Klee!!"

"Do you remember me?"

Collei pointed at herself, looking at Klee expectantly.

She and Klee had met before.

When she was in Mondstadt, she had met Amber, who frequently had to keep Klee in check.

Klee looked at Collei, confused.

For a moment, she couldn't recall who this person was.

"Sister, who are you?"

Klee tilted her head curiously.

Hearing Klee's question, Collei became disheartened.

"You really forgot about me."

"I was all wrapped in bandages when I went to Mondstadt. Have you forgotten?"

Collei reminded her.

Upon hearing this, Klee finally remembered.

"Sister Collei?"

Hearing Klee's response, Collei immediately nodded.

"That's right, it's me."

"It looks like Klee hasn't completely forgotten me."

Seeing Klee finally remember, Collei was overjoyed.

At that moment, Ganyu approached.

"Hello, friends from Sumeru."

"I am Ganyu, the secretary-general of Yuehai Pavilion."

Hearing this, Tighnari and the others were surprised.

Ganyu?

The half-Qilin secretary?

They didn't expect to meet her here.

"Hello, I'm Tighnari."

"Currently the head of the Sumeru Forest Rangers."

"I'm Cyno, the current General Mahamatra of Sumeru."

Tighnari and Cyno introduced themselves.

Then, the others followed suit.

"I'm Nilou, the head of Sumeru's Etiquette Department."

Since the God of Wisdom, Nahida, took over, she had initiated rapid reforms.

She didn't dissolve the Akademiya factions.

Instead, she added new positions.

For example, the Etiquette Department was newly established.

It specialized in foreign affairs.

However, since no suitable replacement had been found, Nahida temporarily appointed Nilou to the role.

As for Cyno and Tighnari, they had decisively supported Nahida when she regained power.

Thus, she had promoted them.

The former bureaucratic structure was firmly controlled by the Akademiya.

But now, Nahida had replaced those in power with people she trusted.

This restructuring was based on books given by Takumi.

If a reform was to be done, it should be thorough from the start.

Not to mention, most of the old officials had been removed by Takumi himself.

Now, Sumeru was entering a new era—one led by the younger generation.
