Chapter 629 Fierce Competition
Others were also suspicious.
Treating two illnesses with one pill? This was hard for them to believe.
Chen Xuan said calmly, "Elder Zhang, please rest assured, my pill can cure all diseases!"
As soon as these words were spoken, those around them shook their heads.
Medicine that cures all diseases only existed in TV dramas or novels, peddled by swindlers!
In reality, how could such a pill exist?
Elder Zhang instinctively took the pill. He didn't believe Chen Xuan's words, as it was completely beyond his understanding. However, when he smelled the pill, he felt an unusual sensation, as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit, feeling refreshed and invigorated.
This was just from smelling it. What would it feel like if he ate it?
His heart rejoiced. Could this pill really cure diseases?
Thinking of the pain caused by his chronic illness, Elder Zhang hesitated no longer and put the pill into his mouth. Of course, some people wanted to stop Elder Zhang, but they didn't expect him to be too quick, and it was too late to stop him.
The pill melted in his mouth, and a magical sensation filled Elder Zhang's frail body.
Elder Zhang's eyes lit up.
"Elder Zhang, how can there be a pill that cures all diseases!"
"Yes, Elder Zhang, we know you are eager to be cured, but you can't act like this!"
The people around shouted, as if Elder Zhang had swallowed poison.
Everyone present were famous doctors, all believing in the principle of targeted treatment.
Chen Xuan had just used this pill to save a patient, and that patient's symptoms were completely different from Elder Zhang's condition. How could a pill cure it?
But just as everyone was filled with doubt, Elder Zhang's face suddenly showed a look of joy and excitement. He grabbed Chen Xuan's arm and shouted, "My illness is cured, my illness is cured!"
The surroundings fell silent, and everyone showed expressions of disbelief.
"It's good that you're cured!" Chen Xuan said with a smile, not surprised.
"Brother Chen Xuan, thank you so much! You've given me a new life!"
Elder Zhang knelt down before Chen Xuan with a thud.
Although Elder Zhang was an antique-level great physician in Jiangnan Province with high prestige, he was unable to treat patients due to his illness, which was a lifelong pain for him. But now, Chen Xuan had cured him, so his respectful gesture was not surprising.
This scene, when seen by others, was even more astonishing!
Although Chen Xuan had just been crowned the Medicine King of Jiangnan, his status could not be compared to Elder Zhang. Yet, Elder Zhang was performing such a grand gesture towards Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan quickly helped Elder Zhang up, saying, "Elder Zhang, you are too kind. There is no need for such a grand gesture."
But Elder Zhang was very stubborn and said, "Brother Chen Xuan, you saved my life. I promised before that whoever saved my life, I would kowtow to them three times. I cannot go back on my word!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan no longer tried to stop Elder Zhang.
Elder Zhang kowtowed to Chen Xuan three times. There were red marks on his forehead, and then he stood up, his face still filled with excitement.
Looking at Elder Zhang, someone asked uncertainly, "Elder Zhang, is your illness really cured?"
Elder Zhang's expression was proud, and the decadence between his brows had disappeared, replaced by a strong confidence.
"Of course it's true. This pill is truly magical! I had lung damage and cold qi entering my body, but after taking the pill just now, I feel that the cold qi has been dispelled, and the lung damage is completely healed. I can treat patients from now on!"
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they immediately understood the key point.
Chen Xuan's pill!
"It must be the Myriad Spirit Pill! It must be the Myriad Spirit Pill!"
Suddenly, an old man in the crowd seemed to have thought of something and shouted excitedly.
"According to the Pill section of the Medical Classics, the Myriad Spirit Pill can cure a hundred diseases with a single pill!"
"I thought the Myriad Spirit Pill was already extinct, but I didn't expect it to really appear!"
Everyone present were famous doctors and naturally had read the Medical Classics. They had naturally heard of the magical Myriad Spirit Pill, but they had always thought it was just a legend. They didn't expect such a miraculous pill to exist.
Others also nodded.
It was likely that only the Myriad Spirit Pill had such medicinal effects.
"Mr. Chen, please tell me, is this the Myriad Spirit Pill?"
The old man looked at the small jade gourd in Chen Xuan's hand with fervent eyes and asked expectantly.
Chen Xuan smiled slightly.
The pill in his hand was naturally not some Myriad Spirit Pill, but a weakened version of the Minor Spirit Pill.
However, its effects were similar to the Myriad Spirit Pill, and it could indeed treat various difficult and complicated diseases. After taking it, the illness would be cured immediately.
To help Su Yunxi develop pharmaceuticals, Chen Xuan had planned to use it for mass production by Su Yunxi. He had only successfully researched it a few days ago and had been carrying it with him, but unexpectedly, it had found its use.
"You could say that," Chen Xuan said calmly.
Instantly, the entire banquet hall erupted again.
Everyone's gaze towards Chen Xuan became extremely fanatical, with envy, and of course, a hint of apology.
"It really is the Myriad Spirit Pill!"
"To own one of these pills is equivalent to having an extra life!"
The most frantic were the wealthy individuals. Although they didn't understand medical principles, they knew that this pill could save lives.
Everyone stared intently at Chen Xuan, their eyes burning with desire, as if they wanted to devour him.
Of course, in their hearts, they all wanted to ask Chen Xuan if he would sell the pill. The person with the best relationship with Chen Xuan was Chairman Qi. Chairman Qi smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, are you selling this pill? I'm willing to pay three hundred thousand for one!"
Three hundred thousand?
Chen Xuan was stunned.
This was a common version of the pill, its efficacy was much lower than the pills he had produced in Jiangcheng, and it couldn't provide effects like strengthening yang and replenishing qi. The medicinal ingredients required were also much inferior, and the cost price was only over a hundred yuan!
Chairman Qi's price of three hundred thousand was too high?
Chen Xuan suddenly noticed Chairman Qi winking at him and instantly understood Chairman Qi's intentions.
Chairman Qi, being from Jiangzhou, naturally knew about Chen Xuan's miraculous pills from back then. The reason he said this was to drive up the price and allow Chen Xuan to make a substantial profit. After all, Chen Xuan had also sold pills in Jiangzhou before, and although those pills had spread to the provincial capital, their influence was very small.
In fact, everyone wanted to buy Chen Xuan's pills but didn't know how to speak up. After Chairman Qi opened his mouth, everyone saw an opportunity and their minds began to churn.
Suddenly, an old man in a Tang suit said, "Chairman Qi, three hundred thousand is too little. It should be at least five hundred thousand!"
"I bid six hundred thousand!"
"I bid seven hundred thousand!"
...
The prices continued to rise, and one provincial great physician after another competed fiercely.
"I bid one million!"
Suddenly, a resonant voice rang out, silencing everyone. The surroundings instantly quieted down.
Everyone looked at the person who had bid, speechless and their faces grew increasingly grim.
The price of one million was not enough to shock these experienced divine doctors. The reason for their reaction was the person who made the bid!
The one who shouted the price of one million was none other than Qin Weizhong, the president of the Jiangnan Medical Association!
Everyone's hearts trembled. No one expected such a prominent figure as Qin Weizhong to join their competition, especially since Qin Weizhong was the president and always a very proud person.
