The Beautiful CEO's Personal Mad Doctor

Chapter 238: Chapter 238: Pill Recipe

Meanwhile.

Duan Lang was sent to the Chang’an Clubhouse by the staff from the Cheng Mansion Banquet. After his wounds were hastily bandaged, he rushed straight to the venue of the pharmaceutical exchange conference, found Elder Qi, and used his phone to call his dad.

Soon, the call connected, and Duan Yanming’s voice came through. ”Elder Qi, is there trouble at the venue?”

Duan Lang said in an aggrieved voice, ”Dad, it’s me!”

”Xiaolang? Why do you have Elder Qi’s phone?”

”Dad, someone destroyed my Dantian and crippled one of my legs! I’m a waste of a man now! You have to stand up for me!”

If this had been before Duan Yingying was cured, Duan Yanming would have instantly flown into a rage, mobilizing all his power to investigate who had crippled his son.

But now, Duan Yanming wasn’t panicking at all.

”Xiaolang, don’t worry. I’ve just become sworn brothers with someone whose medical skills are extraordinary. He’s the one who cured Yingying! He will also be attending the pharmaceutical exchange conference. If he’s willing to help, he can definitely heal you. As for the person who hurt you, we’ll deal with him after the conference is over.”

Hearing that his sister had recovered, Duan Lang was overjoyed. He almost jumped for joy, and all the anger in his heart vanished in an instant!

”Has little sister really recovered? That’s wonderful! That’s really wonderful! The heavens have eyes! As long as my sister is healed, I’ll be happy even if I become a cripple!”

”What nonsense is that! How could a son of mine, Duan Yanming, be a cripple?”

”You are right, Father. So, which Divine Doctor is my godfather?”

Duan Yanming kept him in suspense. ”I’ll introduce you in a bit.”

”Understood, Father.”

Cheng Mansion Banquet, East Wing.

With Han Zhongming and Xiao Xun’Er deliberately trying to curry favor, the meal was a very pleasant affair.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Cheng Yuan raised his wrist and looked at his watch.

Han Zhongming was a sharp one; he instantly understood Cheng Yuan’s intention and decisively stood up to take his leave. ”Brother Yuan, this is my business card! Please feel free to call on me for anything in the future.”

As he spoke, Han Zhongming respectfully handed his business card to Cheng Yuan with both hands.

Cheng Yuan took the card and looked at it seriously. ”Oh, ho. Zhongming, you’re the boss of Jiaxing Media?”

”It’s just a small venture, a small venture, nothing grand. With the looks and charisma of Brother Yuan and Sister Shishi, if you were willing to debut, you’d definitely become superstars!”

Xiao Xun’Er, who was at the side, chided gently, ”What nonsense are you talking? With the status of Brother Yuan and Shishi, why would they become mere actors?”

Han Zhongming lightly slapped himself in the face. ”Look at this stupid mouth of mine. It’s an occupational hazard, all an occupational hazard. It’s just that Brother Yuan’s and Sister Shishi’s presence and charisma are too amazing.”

It had to be said, Han Zhongming was an expert flatterer, and his words made both Cheng Yuan and Hu Shishi very happy.

”There are indeed opportunities for cooperation. Maybe one day I’ll build a film studio or something, and I’ll need Zhongming to come and support it.”

”That’s an absolute must! If Brother Yuan opens a film studio, it must become Jiaxing Media’s home base! Also, I’ll introduce all my friends in the industry.”

”Alright then. We’ll talk more about this later. Goodbye.”

With that, Cheng Yuan parted ways with Han Zhongming, got into the private car arranged by the He Family, and headed straight for the Chang’an Clubhouse.

Half an hour later, Cheng Yuan and Hu Shishi arrived at the Chang’an Clubhouse.

The Chang’an Clubhouse was incredibly lively today. Pharmaceutical merchants, Divine Doctors, and powerful figures from all over had gathered, hoping to trade for the treasures they needed.

There were still three hours until the start of the pharmaceutical exchange conference, but the main hall was already buzzing with activity.

The two had just entered the lobby of the Chang’an Clubhouse when the Hu Family’s housekeeper, Niu Fu, hurried over to greet them respectfully. ”Miss, Young Master Cheng, the Patriarch has prepared a batch of medicinal herbs, an Alchemy Furnace, and a Pill Recipe for you.”

Cheng Yuan’s eyes lit up. ”What quality is the Alchemy Furnace? What’s the Pill Recipe? Quickly, take me to see!”

”Yes! This way, please, Young Master Cheng.”

Led by Niu Fu, Cheng Yuan and Hu Shishi arrived at the private room the Hu Family had rented at the Chang’an Clubhouse.

In the center of the private room was a somewhat dilapidated-looking Alchemy Furnace.

It was a round, three-legged cauldron with two handles, a small-sized Alchemy Furnace. It stood about half a meter tall, and some of the recessed patterns were already covered in green copper rust.

Cheng Yuan was a little worried. ’This Alchemy Furnace looks so old. Can it still be used?’

Cheng Yuan activated his Double Pupil and looked inside the Alchemy Furnace, and a look of delight appeared on his face.

From the outside, this Alchemy Furnace looked very old, as if it could be scrapped at any moment.

But from the inside, the furnace’s inner chamber was incredibly smooth and durable, without a single trace of rust.

”This is good stuff! Bring me the Pill Recipe and the herbs! I need to take advantage of this time and quickly refine a batch of Pills!”

Niu Fu and Hu Shishi looked at each other, stunned. ’Cheng Yuan wants to perform Alchemy? Is he serious?’

Niu Fu asked cautiously, ”Young Master Cheng, you know how to perform Alchemy?”

”Of course. Doesn’t Uncle Hu know that I can perform Alchemy? Why else would he prepare an Alchemy Furnace for me?”

Niu Fu gave a wry smile. ”The Master prepared the Alchemy Furnace for you to use as a bargaining chip. None of the big shots attending the pharmaceutical exchange conference are short on money. The chances of a successful trade using money to buy herbs are very slim.”

Cheng Yuan froze for a moment. ’So money isn’t always enough to buy medicinal herbs? I really didn’t know about this side of things.’

”Housekeeper Niu, can Elixirs be used as bargaining chips?”

”Of course they can! Elixirs are a hard currency! Especially Elixirs that can increase one’s Cultivation! They’re worth more than gold! If Young Master Cheng has a batch of Elixirs, you can trade for any kind of medicinal herb you want.”

”Quick! Bring me the Pill Recipe!”

Niu Fu quickly handed the Pill Recipe to Cheng Yuan. ”This is a Pill Recipe the Master obtained from an ancient tomb—the ’Qi Enhancement Pill.’ It hasn’t been systematically verified yet. Please take a look, Young Master Cheng.”

Cheng Yuan took the Pill Recipe and seriously analyzed its pharmacology. He quickly came to a conclusion: ”This is a real Pill Recipe! Bring the herbs, I’m going to quickly refine a batch!”

Niu Fu was taken aback and hesitated. ”Young Master Cheng, there are only three hours left until the pharmaceutical exchange conference begins. There’s not enough time for Alchemy, is there?”

”What do you mean, not enough time?”

”As everyone knows, it takes an Alchemist at least forty-nine days to refine a single batch of Elixirs.”

Cheng Yuan thought back for a moment. According to the records of the Celestial Witch Inheritance, Alchemy was indeed very difficult!

The main difficulty was that each medicinal herb had a different melting point and required a different temperature.

Furthermore, all the herbs had to be liquefied at the same time, which required an immense amount of Spiritual Power to support.

The slightest mistake, such as one herb liquefying at the wrong time, and all previous efforts would be wasted!

Sometimes, refining a single batch of Elixirs could result in wasting hundreds of sets of ingredients!

This was what led to the astronomical price of Elixirs!

On top of that, it also required a formidable Martial Dao Cultivation!

Liquefaction was only the first step; the next was Solidifying the Pill.

The process of Solidifying the Pill required high temperature and high pressure!

It required an incredibly potent True Essence to compress everything in an instant, creating an environment of high temperature and high pressure.

Cheng Yuan cultivated the pure Celestial Witch Heart Method; his True Essence was exceptionally powerful, as was his Spiritual Power. The only thing he lacked was experience.

However, for Cheng Yuan, this was not a problem at all.

He possessed the Double Pupil, which granted him X-ray Vision. This allowed him to clearly see the liquefaction progress of every single herb and perfectly control the refinement of each one.

As long as his Spiritual Power and True Essence did not run out, there was absolutely no possibility of failure.
