I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

Charlotte's body trembled slightly, and crackling sounds emanated from within her as her muscles and bones reformed.

Unlike when taking hundreds of bottles of power potion, this change is revolutionary, like tearing apart and rebuilding, making the muscles tighter, stronger, and in peak condition.

At the same time, he felt himself entering a familiar and mysterious realm. One law after another seemed to become tangible in his vision, the laws of swordsmanship, the laws of space. He even felt that he could touch them.

Suddenly, those laws began to move rapidly, and he needed to concentrate to catch their movements.

He successfully triggered the Realm of Laws once again.

The Judgment Sword appeared in his hand, and with a thought, he began to traverse rapidly through this realm of laws.

He tried to follow those flickering laws, and with each law he severed, he felt he gained some new insights.

As the laws of space operated faster and faster, his speed also increased accordingly. His understanding of the laws of space became more and more thorough and proficient, and he gradually caught up with the laws of swordsmanship.

"What's wrong with him?" Diana looked at Charlotte, who had suddenly stopped by the window and was trembling slightly, and supported her soft body, looking at her with some concern.

"It seems he's broken through?! And he should have entered the Realm of Laws." Ruth pulled Diana back: "Sister, let's not disturb him. This kind of opportunity is rare and extremely beneficial to him."

"He's broken through to Star Knight!" Diana exclaimed in surprise, her face immediately lighting up with joy. "That's so fast! It's only been less than a month since he broke through to Sky Knight! And he's about to break through again!"

Ruth nodded: "Yes, he and Sister Elizabeth are both prodigies. The higher their level, the faster they break through, giving people the illusion that cultivation is getting easier and easier."

Diana chuckled in Ruth's ear, "Speaking of which, he broke through right after he finished with us. It seems the dual cultivation technique worked. We deserve some credit for his rapid breakthrough."

Ruth blushed and looked at Diana softly, saying, "He just helped me break through yesterday, and he broke through himself today. Now we should let him focus on helping my sister break through."

"You're just watching from the sidelines, how can you stand it?" Diana teased, putting her arm around her.

Ruth smiled slyly: "If I don't circulate my cultivation technique, I won't be able to take it even once. Then I'll just pull the blanket over my head and fall fast asleep. No matter what you do, you won't be able to wake me up."

"No, he has to treat everyone equally. He's broken through to Star Knight now, and if I'm the only one who has to beg for mercy, you can't hide." Diana shook her head.

As the two women chatted and laughed, Charlotte opened her eyes.

A powerful aura emanated from him as he slowly clenched his fist, exuding an unprecedented sense of power that stirred the soul.

As expected of a Star Knight!

He felt as if his body had been reconstructed. Although his appearance remained almost unchanged, his endurance, explosiveness, and strength had all been greatly improved.

Diana and Ruth stared at him blankly, feeling an urge to crawl on his back.

Charlotte held her breath and smiled at the two of them, saying, "Why are you both stunned? Are you shocked by my handsomeness?"

The two looked up at her and nodded in unison.

Looking down at the two voluptuous beauties with alluring eyes, he felt an urgent need to release the power that had just surged within him to the point of explosion.

"Little vixens, I'll use you to test my breakthrough to the first Star Glory Sword!" Charlotte pounced on the two of them.

……

On the rooftop several hundred meters away, a dark figure jolted awake, glancing around in confusion. He had dozed off earlier and sensed an extremely powerful aura, but when he woke up, he couldn't find it.

"Damn it, Charlotte's enjoying himself on two beauties' bellies every day, while I'm stuck outside keeping watch for him. When the Duke's orders come, I'll kill that brat and let me have some fun too." The shadowy figure tightened his clothes and continued to doze off against the eaves.

……

[Player: Charlotte]

[Occupations: Knight, Doctor, Pharmacist]

[Rank: Star Knight: 1224000/3000000]

Grandmaster Pharmacist: 10940/16000

[Wealth Points: 77332600]

……

As dawn broke, Charlotte stepped into the bathroom and glanced at her attribute panel.

The good news is that he has successfully broken through to the Star Knight rank, truly living up to his title.

The bad news is that the threshold for becoming a Paladin has been raised to 300 million wealth points.

That means the difference between Star Knight and Holy Knight is a solid two hundred million.

Even if he staked all his wealth, he would still be short 100 million.

However, he still hasn't received over 40 million in payments from Jenny, and he also has two giant luminous pearls that he can convert into cash.

The potion trading center in Elf City will be opening soon, and there will be real transaction data coming back every day.

Ideally, he should have a certain chance of breaking through to Paladin before this Red Moon Night.

After taking a shower, Diana and Rose were already asleep.

Although the dual cultivation technique is good, it seems that they are not able to withstand the torment of the whole night and need to sleep for a while to relieve the excessive pleasure in their minds.

Charlotte took two bottles of strength potion and placed them on either side of her bedside before heading straight home.

He planned to keep his breakthrough to the Star Glory realm a secret as much as possible.

These are turbulent times, and being too conspicuous will make one a target of attention.

If he can break through to the level of Paladin before the next Red Moon Night, then there will be very few people on the continent of Aesop who can threaten him.

……

The next two days passed peacefully.

Charlotte works during the day, and after get off work, she takes Evelyn to preside over the enchantment ritual.

After completing the ceremony and returning to the abyss that day, he found a magnificent carriage parked in front of his house.

Charlotte recognized Jenny's carriage at a glance.

"Why are you here?" Charlotte stepped forward and knocked on the car door.

The driver opened the car door, and Jenny stepped out, looking at him and saying, "Here's your payment for the delivery."

"I was saying you were so busy you'd forgotten all about it. The potion workshop is almost out of money to restock," Charlotte said with a laugh.

"I don't believe you," Jenny said, looking at him. "The amount is quite large, and I'm not entirely comfortable having someone else deliver it. But I'm too lazy to come every day, so how about we settle the payment every seven days from now on? What do you think?"

"That works too. Let's settle every seven days then." Charlotte nodded, thinking it would be more convenient for everyone.

Moreover, the apothecary workshop actually has quite a lot of reserve funds. The price of the potions is not low, but the cost is actually quite low. The price of the materials for the potions is generally not expensive, and the materials in the warehouse are replenished almost every three days, so they are never empty.

"This is the outstanding payment for the previous eight days, totaling 5864 million copper coins. I've rounded down the difference of 1340 copper coins for you." Jenny handed over a black box with gold thread.

Charlotte reached out and took the heavy box; it was half a small goal.

As for the small change that was rounded down, this box is about enough to cover it.

"Okay." Charlotte nodded.

"I heard that your potion trading center in the Elf City is opening tomorrow?" Jenny asked, looking at him.

"You're surprisingly well-informed." Charlotte put the box into her spatial ring.

"That's right. Our Calva Merchant Guild is all over the continent of Aesop, and we have the best information network," Jenny said with some concern. "However, your potion workshop already has low production, and I often have insufficient supplies. Now that you're opening a trading center, will the supply be able to keep up?"

"Don't worry about that. I'll at least guarantee you the previous supply. Besides, the apothecary workshop has already opened a second production line, and we'll continue to train apothecaries and open new production lines. The potion production will increase very quickly, so you don't need to worry about that," Charlotte explained.

"That's fine then. Anyway, you have to guarantee the supply to my potion trading center, otherwise the reputation I've just built up won't last." Jenny nodded and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, I'll show you a really good treasure I just got. Give me an estimate." Charlotte climbed into the carriage and closed the door behind her.

"What wonderful treasure?" Jenny looked at Charlotte, who was acting rather mysteriously, and showed a bit of curiosity.

Charlotte took out a pearl she had obtained from Louise from her spatial ring, instantly illuminating the carriage.

Jenny's eyes lit up as well. She leaned closer, examining the pearl from all angles. She carefully took it from Charlotte's hand, examined it closely, and exclaimed in amazement, "This...this is a giant deep-sea pearl! And its quality is superb, with a brilliant luster! Such a top-quality giant pearl hasn't appeared on the jewelry market for many years."

"It's secure!" Charlotte could tell from Jenny's expression that the pearl's value might exceed his expectations, so he tried to appear as calm as possible and said, "Just tell me how much it's worth?"

"Three years ago, a giant deep-sea pearl was auctioned at the Kalva auction house. It was a bit smaller than this one, and its quality was not as good. Its luster was also fading, but it still sold for thirty million," Jenny said. "If you were to auction this one, I estimate the starting price would be at least fifty million copper coins. If the hype goes well, the final price would definitely be more than that."

"Fifty million!" Charlotte's eyes widened. Although he was trying his best to control his emotions, he still couldn't stay calm after hearing the price.

He has two of them, does that mean he can get a hundred million?

"Where did you get this pearl?" Jenny couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It was a gift from a friend," Charlotte said.

"Your friend is quite generous, giving such a precious gift." Jenny raised an eyebrow; even she was somewhat tempted by such exquisite pearls.

"Yes, she's quite generous." Charlotte nodded. He was too embarrassed to say that Louise had just casually taken it from the roof of her house, as that would easily lower the price.

"Actually, she gave me more than one; I have two." Charlotte took out the other pearl as well.

"Your friend... could you introduce me to him?" Jenny was already a little numb looking at the two pearls that were almost the same size and of the same excellent quality.

"Would the price be even higher if we sold them together?" Charlotte asked.

Jenny nodded: "A pair of pearls of this quality would indeed fetch a higher price than a single pearl, but auctions are unpredictable. The starting price will probably be set at 100 million, but the final price will depend on the situation on the day."

"Okay, then I'll entrust you to auction these two pearls for me, is that alright?" Charlotte said.

"Your friend gave it to you, and you're going to sell it right away?" Jenny looked at him.

"Are you suggesting I keep it at home as a light? I'd be constantly worried about thieves breaking into my house when I go out."

"You're not short of money right now."

"I'm just a materialistic person; I like money whether I need it or not," Charlotte said with a smile.

"Alright, then I'll accept your request." Jenny didn't ask any more questions.

"Given our relationship, can the commission be waived?" Charlotte asked with a smile.

"The commission for auction items is usually 10%, but I'll reduce it by half and only charge you 5%."

"Okay, deal."

An auction is not just about putting items up for sale. It requires pre-auction promotion to inform potential buyers who are able to bid on the item, as well as ensuring the completion of the transaction and ultimately receiving payment.

These processes all require money to maintain, so charging a certain percentage of commission is reasonable.

A 5% commission is within Charlotte's acceptable range.

The auction held by the Calva Merchant Guild is one of the largest auctions on the continent of Aesop.

"Then this pearl."

"Just take it and sell it. Then you can just deduct the commission and give me the money."

"You seem to trust me quite a bit."

"Your family business isn't worth running away for two pearls."

That makes sense.

"How long do you plan to take to sell these two beads?"

"The sooner the better, ideally it should be sold within this month."

"Okay, I'll arrange the auction for you when I get back, and I'll make sure they fetch a good price."

Charlotte stepped down from the carriage, in high spirits.

Jenny paid 56 million for the goods, and the two pearls could fetch another 100 million at auction. Now he would have enough wealth to cultivate until he reached the level of a Holy Knight.

He just needs to do his best, and leave the rest to miracles.

"I'm going to the Elf City tomorrow, so I'll leave the clinic to you. If you're too busy, we'll only issue 1000 appointments tomorrow," Charlotte said to Vivian after dinner.

"Okay, we will try our best to treat critically ill and emergency patients. Patients with minor injuries can be treated tomorrow," Vivian nodded.

……

The next morning, Charlotte first went to the apothecary warehouse to load the potions, and then had Anna fly directly to the Elf City.

Because the journey was long and boring, Charlotte asked Rose for leave so that she could accompany her.

With a beautiful woman by your side, the journey is certainly not so boring.

Ruth lay languidly in Charlotte's arms, her face still flushed, and asked in a slightly coquettish voice, "Are we going back to the Abyss tonight?"

"If all goes well, we'll be heading back to the Abyss tonight, so it won't interfere with the clinic's opening tomorrow." Charlotte nodded slightly; making money was the priority right now.

"Are you recruiting new students again this time?" Ruth asked curiously.

"Yes, Hattie and Kathleen have already started performing fracture surgeries, and Hannah and Rachel are progressing rapidly as well. Even Bernie's basic skills are already quite solid. This time, I plan to recruit twenty medical students and ten pharmacist apprentices, with seniors like Vivian and Lina each mentoring a few to quickly get started, and then using ample case studies to hone their skills."

"Nowadays, not only are there more and more patients coming to the Abyss Medical Clinic, but I also need to consider setting up a branch in the Elf City. This is something I promised Benjamin, and it's time to start working on it," Charlotte explained.

"I see." Ruth nodded thoughtfully.

"How's your progress been these past few days of training?" Charlotte changed the subject.

"After you broke through to the Star Knight level, your cultivation speed has increased even more. One night of your cultivation is equivalent to a month of your usual training." Ruth blushed, then asked with some concern, "Isn't cultivating too fast a bad thing?"

"Rapid advancement can indeed easily lead to an unstable foundation," Charlotte nodded.

"Then... what should we do?" Ruth sat up, looking somewhat worried.

"Don't worry, I'll help you stabilize your cultivation." Charlotte pulled her into her arms.

"You...didn't you say that advancing too quickly is bad?"

"You are a succubus, and this is one of the normal methods of cultivation. How could your foundation be unstable?"

"You bad guy, you're lying... ah..."

……

The Elf Forest came into view. Ruth had tidied her hair and clothes, and the blush on her face had gradually faded, restoring her dignified appearance.

However, the look in her eyes when she looked at Charlotte was a mixture of resentment and shyness, yet her expression was one of complete satisfaction.

"The Elf Forest is just ahead. I know you've never been here before, so I brought you here to see this rare and beautiful scenery," Charlotte said with a smile.

"That's not why you said that," Ruth scoffed, her eyes still lighting up as she gazed at the breathtaking forest ahead.

She leaned gently against Charlotte, her smile deepening; she felt so happy.

If it weren't for Charlotte, she would still be on that island, enduring the people she despised and living an extremely repressive life.

How could one possibly do as one pleases and see such a beautiful scene?

Soon, the city of elves came into view.

Ruth stood up, looking at the city in awe at what seemed like a fairyland, with all the houses built in the trees, which looked absolutely fascinating.

Charlotte passed through the city walls smoothly and flew straight towards the central temple.

Perhaps Benjamin had already given instructions, because they arrived at the temple built on the canopy of the Tree of Life without any obstacles.

"As expected of the elves, this temple is magnificent and sacred!" Ruth exclaimed softly.

The griffin landed on the flat ground in front of the temple, where Lois was already waiting to greet them. She looked at Ruth, who had come with Charlotte, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, but still smiled and said, "You came quickly. I thought you wouldn't arrive until noon."

"I have to commend Anna for being so fast, which saved a lot of time," Charlotte said with a smile.

"Charlotte, your master is waiting for you at the temple. Go see him." Lois looked at him and said, "This is Miss Ruth, right? I'll show her around the temple."

"Okay." Charlotte nodded and walked towards the temple.

Charlotte entered the side hall and saw Benjamin sitting at the tea table making tea.

He suddenly looked up at Charlotte, a hint of surprise in his deep eyes: "You've broken through again?"
