Chapter 215 Worship
Divine Doctor Lu glanced at He Qiongshi, a trace of gloom flashing across his eyes.
Who else could you offend, but you had to offend Mr. Chen!
He Qiongshi's face was full of shame and anger, but to save her grandmother, she gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Chen, I apologize to you. As long as you can save my grandmother, I will give you this pill."
"Wouldn't it be easier if you were this straightforward earlier?" Chen Xuan smiled.
He Qiongshi was stunned and blurted out, "You mean you agree?"
Chen Xuan said, "I came to your He family to get the pill. Why wouldn't I agree?"
"That's great!"
He Qiongshi became very excited and couldn't help but look at him more.
She didn't expect Chen Xuan to not make things difficult for her and agree so readily. Her impression of Chen Xuan had changed dramatically.
Afterward, He Qiongshi took Chen Xuan to Old Madam He's bedside. She glanced at Chen Xuan and said nervously, "Mr. Chen, I don't know what's going on with my grandmother. She suddenly fell ill and her condition is getting worse, but no matter how we examine her, we can't find anything wrong. Can you really cure her?"
"Let me take her pulse first."
Chen Xuan sat down beside her and felt Old Madam He's pulse. He quickly withdrew his hand.
"How is it?" He Qiongshi asked eagerly when she saw this.
"It's nothing serious, not as bad as you think. I can cure it shortly," Chen Xuan said calmly.
A hint of joy finally appeared on He Qiongshi's face.
Divine Doctor Lu couldn't help but ask, "What's Old Madam He's situation?"
"Old age and weakness, organ failure, probably due to eating some cold food, which triggered an internal illness," Chen Xuan explained.
He Qiongshi's eyes widened when she heard this, "That's right. My grandmother ate some cold noodles that day."
Divine Doctor Lu also nodded in agreement, his gaze towards Chen Xuan showing a hint of admiration, and he praised him profusely.
To be honest, even he did not understand Old Madam He's condition as thoroughly as Chen Xuan did, who, after just taking her pulse, understood it so clearly.
Chen Xuan took out paper and a pen, wrote down a few medicinal ingredients, and handed them to He Qiongshi, saying, "Have someone find these ingredients."
He Qiongshi took them and glanced at them before instructing a servant to find the herbs. Soon, the medicinal ingredients were found.
Chen Xuan inspected the ingredients and found that their quality was very good. He couldn't help but nod repeatedly. Yang City truly lived up to its reputation as a medicinal capital; the herbs found here were many times better than those in Jiangzhou.
Seeing the medicinal ingredients Chen Xuan had found, Divine Doctor Lu pondered for a moment and asked with a frown, "Mr. Chen, are you going to refine that divine pill?"
Chen Xuan glanced at Divine Doctor Lu and said calmly, "It's just an ordinary pill, nothing divine."
Divine Doctor Lu's gaze towards Chen Xuan became even more respectful.
That was clearly a miraculous pill that could bring people back from the dead, yet Chen Xuan called it an ordinary pill. He was truly too modest, a master's demeanor!
"Can you find me a secluded place? I need to refine the pill," Chen Xuan said to He Qiongshi.
He Qiongshi immediately nodded and led Chen Xuan to a quiet and spacious room.
"This place is good. You can all leave now," Chen Xuan said lightly after a glance.
Everyone else left, but Divine Doctor Lu remained standing there, unwilling to move. He wanted to witness Chen Xuan refining the pill and learn from him, but he knew it was a secret art and didn't know how to ask.
"Divine Doctor Lu, is there anything else?" Chen Xuan asked with a frown.
Divine Doctor Lu gritted his teeth and, disregarding his pride, practically said with his eyes closed, "Mr. Chen, could you allow me to observe your pill refining process? I won't watch for free. I have a large medical clinic in the provincial capital and am willing to give it to you!"
How much could a clinic be worth?
Chen Xuan did not take it to heart as it wasn't a secret art. He casually waved his hand and said, "Forget the clinic. You can stay."
"Thank you, Master Chen!"
The clinic was located in the city center of the provincial capital, and the land alone was worth hundreds of millions. Chen Xuan didn't even want that, and Divine Doctor Lu was so touched he almost cried.
This time, Chen Xuan's image in the eyes of Divine Doctor Lu rose by another threefold!
After the others left, Chen Xuan took out the cauldron, flicked his finger, and ignited it with a spiritual fire. Then, he began to refine the pill with a skill that seemed like magic.
Divine Doctor Lu beside him watched in astonishment!
This was a miraculous pill refining technique recorded only in ancient books, long lost to the river of time. It was rumored that only ancient great physicians could refine it, and yet Chen Xuan knew it. No wonder the pills Chen Xuan refined were so miraculous!
Now, witnessing this incredibly magical pill refining technique, Divine Doctor Lu finally understood everything!
Soon, a pill fragrance wafted out, and Chen Xuan had finished refining the pill!
Divine Doctor Lu shook his head, then sighed, and finally felt ashamed. "It is my lifelong honor to witness Master Chen refining pills today. Unfortunately, I, Lu Mou, am dull-witted and cannot learn it!"
Chen Xuan said calmly, "Divine Doctor Lu, you don't need to be so self-deprecating. Although you cannot use spiritual fire, you can still refine pills using other methods. If you wish to learn in the future, I can teach you when I move to the provincial capital."
"Really... really?" Divine Doctor Lu swallowed hard, disbelief in his voice.
"Of course, it's true," Chen Xuan nodded.
Divine Doctor Lu knelt before Chen Xuan with a thud, saying sincerely, "Master Chen, I feel that a clinic is too little. How about I give you all my possessions?"
This time, Divine Doctor Lu felt that giving a clinic was too insignificant. If he could learn this pill refining technique, it would be worth giving his entire fortune!
Chen Xuan could tell that Divine Doctor Lu was an incorrigible medical enthusiast. He said with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, "Divine Doctor Lu, let's discuss this later. Old Madam He's condition cannot be delayed."
"I was presumptuous," Divine Doctor Lu quickly replied.
Just as Chen Xuan was about to leave with the pill, he suddenly thought of something. "Divine Doctor Lu, if you truly want to express your gratitude, help me search for medicinal ingredients that can increase lifespan."
Su Qian was cursed by the Ten Halls of Yama and needed lifespan-increasing herbs to prolong his life, but they were extremely rare. Chen Xuan could only cast a wide net.
"Alright!" Divine Doctor Lu readily agreed.
Chen Xuan then walked out with the pill.
Seeing Chen Xuan's retreating back, Divine Doctor Lu seemed to recall something and his heart stirred, "Perhaps I can invite Master Chen to join that place!"
Chen Xuan arrived at the bedside and administered the pill to Old Madam He.
One minute later, He Qiongshi said with a worried expression, "Mr. Chen, why is my grandmother showing no reaction?"
Chen Xuan said calmly, "Don't rush, wait a moment longer."
A robust person might react quickly, but Old Madam He was weak, and her absorption of the medicinal effects was very slow. How could she react immediately?
However, after waiting for a while longer, Old Madam He still showed no reaction.
He Qiongshi looked at Chen Xuan and questioned, "Are you trying to trick me?"
Divine Doctor Lu's heart trembled upon hearing this. How could Chen Xuan's miraculous pill refining technique be a trick?
He was about to tell He Qiongshi not to speak nonsense when suddenly, a cough was heard!
"Cough, cough!"
He Qiongshi turned her head and saw Old Madam He slowly opening her eyes. Her face lit up with joy, and she rushed over, "Grandmother, you're awake...?"
