Chapter 189 Divine Pill
Chen Xuan had saved her life twice and entrusted her with the management rights of 40% of Murong family shares with absolute trust. Crucially, Chen Xuan had hidden his identity and sought no reward, which greatly elevated his image in her heart.
It was precisely because of this that when she learned of Chen Xuan's identity, her affection not only did not disappear but grew even more intense, like a volcano on the verge of eruption.
She knew that falling in love with her best friend's fiancé was a morally wrong thing. She knew that the two of them were deeply in love and had no intention of disrupting their marriage.
However, if she could have some opportunities to spend time alone with Chen Xuan, she would be very happy.
With this thought, Murong Meng felt a surge of joy and said softly, "Chen Xuan, I'll trouble you then."
Chen Xuan smiled and said, "It's just a small matter. Call me if you need anything."
Looking at Chen Xuan's smile, Murong Meng's heart fluttered, and she felt completely dazed.
Although reason told Murong Meng that Chen Xuan was Su Yunxi's fiancé and there was no possibility between them, her emotions made her unable to resist a surge of impulse.
Chen Xuan started the car and began his journey back.
He felt someone watching him. When he looked up, he happened to see Murong Yuan staring at him with adoration and worship in the rearview mirror. He couldn't help but frown.
What was wrong with this woman?
Su Yunxi, sitting in the passenger seat, handed him a protective amulet and chided him playfully, "You must wear this safety charm next time."
Chen Xuan looked at the protective amulet and was stunned for a moment. Could it be that his secret was out?
He shook his head, dismissing the thought. He had been wearing a mask of anonymity at the time; how could he have been recognized?
Soon, Chen Xuan drove to the Murong residence. With Old Master Murong present, even if his elder uncle had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare to make a move within the Murong family.
When Murong Meng got out of the car, her gaze towards Chen Xuan was still strange. She had many things she wanted to say to Chen Xuan, wanted to express her gratitude, and also wanted to apologize. After all, she had misunderstood Chen Xuan when Murong Yuan asked Chen Xuan to appraise raw stones.
However, with Su Yunxi present, she didn't know how to speak.
Su Yunxi got out of the car, hugged Murong Meng, waved goodbye, and said softly, "Xiao Meng, if you encounter anything you can't handle, call Chen Xuan quickly."
Murong Meng nodded, "I know. Thank you, Yunxi!"
Afterward, Chen Xuan drove Su Yunxi back to the Su family.
Su Yunxi, still carrying the scent of alcohol, went straight into the bathroom to shower as soon as they returned to the Su family villa.
Chen Xuan remembered that he had promised Murong Meng to refine a life-saving pill for Old Master Murong.
He walked directly out of the villa and came to Qingwu Mountain. He took out the prepared pill furnace and medicinal herbs and began to refine the pill. As he was at it, he also refined another batch of pills, which were naturally the best-selling Replenishing Spirit Pills and Minor Replenishing Pills.
Due to the scarcity of medicinal ingredients, Chen Xuan had improved the Replenishing Spirit Pill by finding alternative herbs. Although the effect was reduced by 30%, the output greatly increased.
Chen Xuan called Hei Hu and asked him to come and pick up the pills. Hei Hu drove furiously and parked his car halfway up Qingwu Mountain.
"Give this pill to Murong Meng. Keep the other pills to sell," Chen Xuan said.
Hei Hu immediately nodded, "Yes!"
Chen Xuan returned to the Su family villa, while Hei Hu, as instructed, had people deliver the pill to Murong Meng.
The Murong family received the pill, and Old Master Murong immediately invited a trusted old Chinese physician, Elder Lu, to test the pill's effectiveness.
"Old Master Murong, you are the head of the Murong family. How can you believe in such feudal superstition?" Elder Lu frowned.
Old Master Murong smiled.
He knew Elder Lu didn't believe. He himself wouldn't have believed before meeting Chen Xuan, but after seeing the miraculous pill, he was full of confidence in this pill.
"Just try it," Old Master Murong said calmly.
Elder Lu shook his head and sighed inwardly.
Old Master Murong had narrowly escaped death and had even resorted to believing in feudal superstition.
Honestly, he felt Old Master Murong had been tricked. How could such a miraculous pill exist in this world?
However, as a friend, he felt it was his responsibility to help Old Master Murong see through this.
Then, Elder Lu expressionlessly scraped some residue from the pill and fed it to a withered old man who was on the verge of death.
"Old Master Murong, you see, there's no reaction."
Elder Lu shook his head and said, "You've been deceived!"
He even sighed.
Old Master Murong frowned. Had he really been deceived?
He looked at the withered old man with a frown, and suddenly his expression became excited: "Look quickly... look quickly...!"
Elder Lu looked over and his eyes widened in disbelief!
"How is this possible?"
But unexpectedly, the old man miraculously opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and bright, completely unlike an eighty or ninety-year-old man who was half in the grave.
"It's truly a divine pill, truly a divine pill!" Old Master Murong was ecstatic.
"Old Master Murong, don't get too excited yet. It's hard to say if it's a final burst of energy. Let me examine this patient's body to confirm if all bodily functions are normal," Elder Lu said.
Old Master Murong took a deep breath, trying to control his emotions.
Elder Lu quickly conducted various examinations on the patient.
Ten minutes later, Old Master Murong asked softly, "Elder Lu, how are the examinations?"
Elder Lu's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "How can this be?"
Seeing Elder Lu's surprised expression, Old Master Murong's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but ask, "How did the examination go, Elder Lu? Is there something wrong with the pill? Even if there is, I can handle it!"
Elder Lu suddenly shook his head and laughed heartily, "Old Master Murong, you have found a treasure!"
"Ah?"
Old Master Murong was stunned, "Elder Lu, what do you mean?"
Elder Lu explained, "My patient's bodily functions have severely declined, and his internal organs are on the verge of decay. However, the medical data I just checked indicates that his body is now comparable to a man in his thirties or forties."
Old Master Murong was overjoyed.
This time, his Murong family had truly found a treasure. With this pill, he was essentially given an extra life. In the future, the Murong family would surely flourish for many years and reach new heights!
Murong Meng, standing beside them, looked at the pill with a mix of excitement and complexity.
This pill was so precious, and Chen Xuan had given it to her for free.
"Xiao Meng, you've done very well this time. Tomorrow, I will immediately announce that you will become the heir of our Murong family," Old Master Murong said solemnly.
Murong Meng took a breath and said with some emotion, "Thank you, Grandfather!"
"I should be thanking you, Grandfather. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have this life-saving pill," Old Master Murong smiled.
In his opinion, that mysterious pill refiner had refined the pill for him out of consideration for Murong Meng.
Suddenly, a thought struck him. Based on various indications, that mysterious pill refiner had asked for shares, which he thought was to support Murong Meng. Now, he was willing to refine such a precious pill.
Could this mysterious pill refiner have feelings for Murong Meng?
