Chapter 528 Lacks Creativity
Everyone exchanged glances, not understanding why Chen Xuan said that.
Elder Huang was also somewhat bewildered. As if he had thought of something, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked at Chen Xuan in astonishment.
This guy...
"Stop pretending, speak if you have something to say," Bai Linglong said irritably.
Chen Xuan sighed and slowly explained, "As everyone knows, patients with heart disease should avoid strenuous exercise and emotional excitement. Sexual activity should also be restrained, otherwise, it can easily lead to bad consequences. Adding three aphrodisiac drugs to the medication for heart disease patients, do you think that's appropriate?"
"Those who know will think you are manufacturing drugs to treat heart disease, but those who don't will think you are treating erectile dysfunction!"
Erectile dysfunction?
Sarcasm!
A huge sarcasm!
Everyone was struck by lightning. The pharmaceutical researchers, who were arrogant and self-righteous moments ago, were now like beaten-down eggplants. Some were so ashamed they wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
They were angry, but Chen Xuan's words were faultless.
Amidst the shame, Bai Linglong looked at Chen Xuan in shock. She hadn't expected Chen Xuan to understand the properties of the medicine so thoroughly. Could this young man also be a divine doctor?
Elder Huang's old face turned red as many people looked at him.
Although he had found replacements for the three medicinal materials earlier, he had overlooked the condition of the heart disease patients.
He wanted to embarrass Chen Xuan, but instead, Chen Xuan slapped him in the face!
He, the King of Medicine in Jiangnan, the foremost divine doctor in Jiangnan Province, had been defeated by a young man in his early twenties twice in a row!
He was burning with anger, but to maintain his image, he could only grit his teeth.
Chen Xuan's understanding of medicine undoubtedly made Su Yunxi overjoyed. However, since these three medicinal materials could not be replaced, what should they do next?
Her expression became serious.
"Do you have any other good ideas?" Su Yunxi asked.
Everyone looked at each other and lowered their heads. Even Bai Linglong remained silent. They had no solutions and all looked at Elder Huang.
Elder Huang stammered, his old face flushing even redder.
Since he was crowned the King of Medicine in Jiangnan, when had he ever been so embarrassed?
If Elder Huang had no solution, who else would?
Su Yunxi was anxious. Suddenly, she looked at Chen Xuan and asked, "Chen Xuan, do you have any good ideas?"
"Isn't Elder Huang very capable? I wonder if he has any other good methods?" Chen Xuan said with a smile.
Elder Huang was so angry he almost spat blood. If he had a solution, he would have presented it long ago to slap Chen Xuan in the face...
He gritted his teeth and coldly snorted, "I don't have any good methods at the moment. Mr. Chen, do you have any good methods?"
He thought to himself, if you want me to lose face, that's impossible!
He quickly passed the ball back to Chen Xuan.
Su Yunxi thought Chen Xuan also had no solution, and her heart sank to the bottom.
"Yunxi, don't worry, I have a good idea."
Suddenly, a faint voice reached Su Yunxi's ears, making her eyes light up.
Everyone looked at Chen Xuan.
Elder Huang sneered, "Kid, let's see how you show off."
Chen Xuan smiled, and then his gaze suddenly sharpened, "It's very simple, add one more Chinese medicinal herb, Solomon's seal!"
Solomon's seal!
The faint voice echoed in the room!
As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned as if they had been acupunctured. Their faces changed unpredictably.
Even Elder Huang's eyes widened!
A deathly silence!
Seeing no one speak, Su Yunxi couldn't help but frown and was about to ask what was going on.
Suddenly, Bai Linglong exclaimed, "Brilliant!"
"Solomon's seal is oily and lustrous, with a sweet and slightly cold taste. It nourishes yin, clears heat, and moistens dryness. It can harmonize yin and yang. As long as it is added, it can resolve the yin-nourishing and kidney-tonifying effects of those three medicinal ingredients. Moreover, its price is extremely cheap, and it will not affect the overall cost at all."
Others nodded in agreement, greatly admiring Chen Xuan's idea. Chen Xuan's ability to think of Solomon's seal indicated that he was thoroughly familiar with medical principles.
Many people's gaze towards Chen Xuan changed.
This guy was not an arrogant person, but someone with real talent!
Elder Huang also stopped talking.
He was somewhat curious about where this kid came from, as he hadn't heard of him in the provincial capital before.
Su Yunxi was overjoyed, unexpectedly, the problem was finally solved by Chen Xuan!
Besides the problem being solved, she was even more delighted by Chen Xuan's abilities.
Last time, if Chen Xuan hadn't discovered the issue of counterfeit medicine, they wouldn't have resolved it so quickly.
This time, Chen Xuan had once again helped Su's Pharmaceutical industry solve its drug problem.
At this moment, many people began to ask Chen Xuan how he came up with this method. Elder Huang watched with anger in his heart.
Elder Huang said disdainfully, "I thought it was something amazing, but it's just adding one herb to my medicinal effects. If it weren't for proposing those three herbs, what would you have to do with it?"
As soon as he said this, the surroundings fell silent.
Everyone looked at each other and slowly nodded.
Elder Huang's words were not unreasonable.
Newton was great precisely because many physicists extended their work upon Newton's foundation. Without Newton's mechanics, there would be no subsequent achievements.
If it weren't for Elder Huang proposing the three medicinal materials, Chen Xuan wouldn't have been able to neutralize the medicinal properties. It could be said that Chen Xuan stood on Elder Huang's shoulders.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Elder Huang showed some pride. He sneered and looked at Chen Xuan, saying again, "Mr. Chen, if you have the ability, come up with another alternative method?"
"There's no need for an alternative method, it lacks creativity," Chen Xuan said dismissively.
"Lacks creativity? Hahaha, that's ridiculous. If you can't do it, just admit it, stop pretending." Elder Huang burst into laughter.
Chen Xuan turned to Su Yunxi and smiled, "Yunxi, I've already thought of a prescription that can perfectly replace the prescription developed by Su's Pharmaceutical, and it's even cheaper."
"How is that possible?"
Everyone showed deep skepticism.
After all, they had spent two years researching and developing the new drug, going through countless hard days and nights. Some researchers had even turned their hair white.
Chen Xuan's claim that he had a prescription that could replace the new drug was hard to believe.
"Chen Xuan, is that true?" Su Yunxi blinked her beautiful eyes. She had some doubts, but Chen Xuan didn't seem to be lying.
Chen Xuan smiled and nodded.
Elder Huang scoffed, chuckling sinisterly, "You have a prescription? That's probably the biggest joke I've heard this year!"
He didn't believe it at all.
Facing everyone's doubts, Chen Xuan didn't get angry. He calmly asked Yunxi to get paper and pen. Soon, someone brought a signature pen and a blank sheet of paper.
"He's really going to write it?" Elder Huang shook his head with a smile, thinking Chen Xuan was pretending.
The others also looked unconvinced.
In front of everyone, facing all the doubts, Chen Xuan's face showed no emotion.
Then, Chen Xuan wrote a string of medicinal herb names on the paper, "Take a look."
Elder Huang, though disdainful, still looked over. The next moment, seeing something amusing, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Alfalfa?"
"Angelica?"
"Blackberry?"
"Fenugreek?"
"This stuff can treat heart disease? Are you kidding me?"
Seeing these medicinal herbs, others couldn't help but look at Chen Xuan. Their suspicious gazes turned into disdain, almost certain that Chen Xuan was just guessing.
Bai Linglong's gaze towards Chen Xuan also changed. Logically, Chen Xuan should be proficient in pharmacology, but why would he choose such medicinal herbs?
Su Yunxi didn't understand pharmacology and asked Bai Linglong for an explanation.
Bai Linglong told Su Yunxi that the herbs Chen Xuan had listed all had anticoagulant properties and were the most unsuitable Chinese medicinal herbs for heart disease patients. If taken rashly, they could cause heart bleeding and immediate death.
"Ah?" Su Yunxi screamed.
But why did Chen Xuan write such a prescription?
Elder Huang laughed heartily, "Mr. Chen, if you can't write it, don't force yourself."
Others sneered.
Chen Xuan seemed not to hear them.
He suddenly patted his forehead, as if he remembered something, and laughed, "I apologize, I've disappointed everyone. I forgot one Chinese medicine..."
