Life is but a nightmare

Chapter 328 I'm here to help my disciple get even

Zhou Xuan’s expression was solemn, not joking, “Professor Li, I thought you could control her worsening condition with my acupuncture technique and see my capabilities.”

Zhou Xuan’s arrogance left all the white-coated figures in the scientific research laboratory speechless.

Even Professor Li was taken aback; it was the first time he had seen Zhou Xuan so serious.

“That won’t do. The antidote you have is casually concocted by Fu Shan. Do you think it’s useful?” Professor Li advised.

“She’s a patient. Do you want her to die?” Zhou Xuan questioned coldly. “Isn’t our duty as biochemical experts to research viruses and create more destruction, but rather to ensure the safety of patients? Moreover, her situation is special now, and she must take this antidote immediately, otherwise, if it’s any later, someone will die!”

“Acupuncture is only to delay it for her.”

Hearing Zhou Xuan’s words, all the experts present fell silent.

“Alright, I believe you! But if you fail, we can’t bear the responsibility either!” Professor Li said.

“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. I will do my best and won’t blame you.”

Zhou Xuan was already extremely impatient.

Fu Shan bared his cute canine teeth and snarled at Professor Li and the others.

“Professor Li, I will prove how short-sighted and arrogant you were in looking down on others!”

He fed a bowl of medicinal soup to the woman.

Half an hour after taking the medicine, the woman’s complexion gradually turned rosy.

Professor Li and Dr. Wang were surprised that medicinal herbs from the medicinal field could also be used for detoxification.

They had always firmly believed that traditional Chinese medicinal soups were not very effective.

Their research only involved extracting components from herbs.

And they did not believe that regional climate differences could alter the properties of all medicines.

However, Qiu’s Pharmaceutical Industry had been around for so many years.

Proving that their research and development were feasible.

Zhou Xuan straightened up and said to them word by word, “Traditional Chinese Medicine is a medical art that you cannot underestimate. From the very beginning, it was Xuan Yi. You can disbelieve it, but you cannot deny its past glory.”

“Later, as it gradually declined, you called it outdated, otherwise, why were people’s lifespans so short in the past?”

“Let me tell you, the twenty-four star acupuncture technique I used to suppress her toxins is a continuation of the nascent form of ancient Xuan Yi.”

“Xuan Yi gradually declined. Now you only use those thousands of years to deny its former one-ten-thousandth potency of medicinal decoctions.”

“Yet you don’t realize how powerful and profound Chinese Medicine’s mystique truly is!”

Dr. Wang, however, retorted indignantly, “Fine, since you’re saying it’s so miraculous, we must now use the Northern Chuyecao. If we can’t find the Southern Chuyecao, you tell us how to solve this Baiweisan problem!”

Zhou Xuan, however, smiled.

“The answer lies with Fu Shan!”

Everyone was in an uproar.

Fu Shan?

What answer could this kid possibly have?

Could it be that what this kid was arguing about earlier was true?

Zhou Xuan was determined to get his little disciple his due.

Then he said leisurely, “You all underestimated Fu Shan. Now Fu Shan has solved your problem. The answer is in the medicinal soup he just brought. If you want to know, then ask my little disciple!”

Fu Shan cooperatively stood up straight.

“It’s all thanks to Master’s excellent teaching! I, Fu Shan, am also incredibly lucky!”

“Haha, dear uncles and grandpas, no need to be polite. Fu Shan won’t hold grudges, but if you want this antidote and solution, you must apologize to me!”

No one expected that Zhou Xuan had only slightly guided Fu Shan, and Fu Shan not only managed to produce the antidote to the medicinal agent but also solved the problem for Qiu’s research experts.

Professor Li and Dr. Wang’s faces turned red.

The problems they couldn’t solve had now been easily solved by Zhou Xuan.

Their perception of Zhou Xuan had completely changed.

“Professor Zhou, thank you so much.”

“Professor Zhou, you are the most remarkable Chinese Medicine practitioner I have ever met.”

All the professors and research personnel present unanimously expressed their admiration for Zhou Xuan.

They had even forgotten the tone and attitude they had adopted earlier.

“We old folks have lived in vain.”

Professor Li sighed.

Dr. Wang patted Professor Li’s shoulder, “Old man, don’t be discouraged. There are many things to learn from the younger generation.”

Professor Li gave a wry smile, “It’s a pity that Zhou Xuan and Fu Shan have such exceptional talent. It would be a complete waste if they weren’t allowed to join our pharmaceutical research organization.”

Dr. Wang shook his head, “We don’t need to force him.”

Qiu Yunhai even said, “Master Zhou is destined for great things; our Qiu family cannot afford to invite him. You all must conduct your research diligently.”

“We must proceed with more human trials as soon as possible. Ideally, this medicine should be launched three months from now.”

Professor Li nodded.

Zhou Xuan was unaware that these professors and researchers had a newfound respect for him, nor did he know that he had already become a legendary figure in research institutions.

Currently, he was chatting with a girl.

“Hey!” Zhou Xuan pointed at the little girl’s butterfly hair clip, “Who are you?”

The little girl looked very pretty, wearing a powder-blue dress and two little braids. Her oval face was adorned with a bright smile, “Big brother, you don’t even recognize me?”

She looked at Zhou Xuan with a giggle.

Zhou Xuan looked at her with confusion.

“Little girl, why are you playing here alone?”

“I’m planting medicinal herbs here with Grandma. Big brother, why are you also wearing such nice clothes to come here?”

“Also?”

Zhou Xuan latched onto that word, “Do you mean there are other people who have come here?”

The little girl stopped speaking and shook her head.

She suddenly stood up and skipped towards the dense forest behind the medicinal field.

Zhou Xuan called out to her, “Hey, it’s very dangerous in there, with insects and snakes. You can’t go.”

The little girl turned and smiled at him, “Big brother, I’m not scared. Goodbye, I have to go back to find Grandma, or I won’t have lunch later.”

Zhou Xuan straightened up.

Fu Shan, standing behind him, explained, “This girl is an orphan. She and her grandmother live together. Mr. Qiu, being kind, allowed them to build a small house nearby to live in.”

“Normally, the old lady earns pocket money by helping to fertilize the medicinal field, weed, carry soil, and transport goods.”

“We all look after them. But the old lady seems to have been sick these past few days, and I haven’t seen her much.”

Fu Shan scratched his head, “But my medical skills are not good, and everyone else is afraid to let me treat them. Professor Li and the others are even less likely to care.”

Zhou Xuan gazed into the distance.

Looking at the mountains behind the dense medicinal fields.

He suddenly said, “Go, take a look at the little girl, and buy some things for them.”

“And walk with Master.”
