Long Tianshui went to help clean up the courtyard, while Long Xiao went to the warehouse alone to check the various medicines piled up.
Soon, Long Xiao held a piece of paper filled with words, listing the herbs he needed to replenish.
The people at the well were restless, the Ji family was becoming more and more troublesome, and there was also the mysterious Long Nian. Although he was very low-key, Long Xiao felt that his danger was no less than that of Gorō Iiguchi.
If Gorō Iiguchi, the Ji family, and Long Nian wanted to rise in Donghai, they would definitely have to deal with the other factions in the future.
Once a large-scale conflict occurred between the two sides, the martial world of Donghai would surely be thrown into chaos.
Although he was not a person of the martial world, he would never allow anyone to harm his family and friends.
In the future, the demand for wound medicine, antidotes, and fast-acting蛊毒 (gǔdú - poisonous insect venom) antidotes would be very high. Long Xiao decided to refine a batch when he had time.
The most important ingredient Long Xiao needed to refine special medicines was life force, so every time he bought medicine, he asked for precious herbs like ginseng, He Shou Wu, and Lingzhi that were over a hundred years old.
After listing the items, Long Xiao called Jiang Ming in eastern Zhejiang.
Jiang Ming was very excited when he received Long Xiao's call. Ever since he met Long Xiao, he felt that Long Xiao was a major customer. So, he went everywhere looking for medicinal materials of sufficient age and bought them at high prices.
"Heh heh, Brother Long, you finally called. I've acquired quite a few good medicinal materials for you. I'll pack them up and send them to you as soon as possible."
"I want all the good medicinal materials. Also, I've made a list. Please acquire a batch of medicinal materials according to this list. The more the quantity, the better, but the quality must be guaranteed."
"Don't worry, Brother Long, the quality is absolutely fine."
After they finished their call, Long Xiao added Jiang Ming on WeChat and sent him the list of required medicinal materials.
After finishing this, it was getting late, so Long Xiao hurried back to the Lin family.
As he entered the living room, the Lin family was still awake, sitting in the living room as if waiting for something.
As soon as Long Xiao entered the living room, Nangong Yue glared at him and said, "Long Xiao, you are such an ungrateful wretch. You have a vacant villa and won't let us live in it."
Long Xiao looked at Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Long Xiao. Mom found the key to the Mangshan No. 1 villa."
Lin Hao quickly said, "Mom, Brother-in-law probably forgot. He wouldn't intentionally not let us live there."
Long Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, I've been too busy lately, I really forgot. Mom, if you want to live there, I'll find someone to renovate it tomorrow."
Nangong Yue's expression improved slightly and she said, "You don't need to find anyone to renovate it. I've already booked the construction team. You can pay after the renovation is done."
"Mom, Long Xiao's salary, except for Aunt Ling's expenses, is all given to you. Where would he get the money?"
Nangong Yue glared at Lin Xuan and said, "I don't care, I don't have any money for the renovation. Doesn't he know how to read feng shui? Let him earn money by reading feng shui for rich people."
The Lin family knew that Nangong Yue was never reasonable when it came to money.
Lin Xuan looked at her father, Lin Shijie, and said, "Dad, after we finish renovating, let's sell the villa we're currently living in to pay for the renovation."
Lin Xuan knew that although Long Xiao was not short of money, she couldn't let her mother know, otherwise, she would take all the money and brag about it everywhere.
After discussion, the Lin family finally agreed to sell their current villa to pay for the renovation and furniture.
After everyone else went back to their rooms, Lin Xuan came to Long Xiao's room and told him about the progress of establishing the company in the past two days.
The company headquarters building had been bought and was being renovated. They could also buy two pharmaceutical factories, which had been discussed and were in the process of negotiating contract details. A warehouse had also been found, and ten years' rent had been paid.
It was easy to get things done when you had money. Once the company headquarters building was renovated, they could start recruiting and officially open for business.
"Lin Xuan, get the pharmaceutical factories as soon as possible and assemble two reliable teams. I'll give you another special medicine prescription."
"What prescription?" Lin Xuan asked happily.
She knew that any prescription given by Long Xiao would definitely not be an ordinary one.
The old man Long Xiao mentioned at the Medical Association conference appeared, so now Lin Xuan had great faith when Long Xiao spoke about what he had learned from the old man as a child.
Long Xiao thought for a moment and chose a basic scar removal prescription from the pharmacopoeia in the "Dragon Scripture".
He wrote down the prescription and handed it to Lin Xuan, then asked, "Lin Xuan, how effective is this prescription?"
Long Xiao shook his head and said, "I don't know. If I have time tomorrow, I'll make it and we can test it."
Lin Xuan happily took the prescription back to her room. Long Xiao studied the "Dragon Scripture" for a while longer before resting.
In the next two days, Long Xiao and Xue Meiqin took Zhao Tongxiang to a battery factory to make his battery samples.
For Zhao Tongxiang's safety, Long Xiao specifically left Luo Tianshui and Bao Tie to protect him.
Upon returning to Xinglin Caotang from the battery factory, Long Xiao began to treat Xin Sihai.
Long Xiao had no experience treating cancer, and there was no concept of cancer in traditional Chinese medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine viewed the human body as a large system, and when a person got sick, it was due to a malfunction in the system's operation. Once corrected, the illness could be cured.
This time, Long Xiao did not use life force for treatment. After carefully observing Xin Sihai's condition, he prescribed a few doses of medicine and gave him some advice on lifestyle.
While observing Xin Sihai's internal condition, Long Xiao discovered a large mass of vital energy in Xin Sihai's Dantian. His strength was at least at the early stage of the Profound realm.
Although Long Xiao didn't know what level his current strength was, Xin Sihai said that his son, Xin Yifei, had already reached the intermediate stage of the Profound realm.
He could defeat him with no effort, so his own strength was at least at the advanced stage of the Profound realm, or even higher.
While Long Xiao was examining and treating Xin Sihai, Xin Sihai was also observing Long Xiao.
He felt that Long Xiao was unusual, and he had witnessed Long Xiao's strength the previous night.
Gradually, he began to believe that Long Xiao truly had the confidence to cure him. Because he felt that someone with Long Xiao's strength had no reason to lie to him.
After settling Xin Sihai, Long Xiao went to the warehouse to get some herbs and began to refine the scar-removal pills.
The basic scar-removal medicine was easy to refine. After refining it, Long Xiao did not add life force or make it into pills. He only brewed it into an ointment and put it into a glass bottle.
When they finished dinner, Long Xiao asked the people at Xinglin Caotang, but no one had any scars. Long Xiao had to put away the scar-removal medicine.
As the sun set and the lamps were lit, Long Xiao stood up and said, "Eryong, take me to Jiangbei."
Xue Meiqin heard Long Xiao say he was going to Jiangbei and quickly said, "Boss, let me take you."
Long Xiao shook his head and said, "It's getting late for a young girl. Go home early. What are you running around for?"
Chen Meijia looked at Long Xiao and asked, "Brother Long, do you need any help?"
Long Xiao shook his head and said, "I'll handle this matter myself. I don't want to cause trouble for your Martial Arts Association."
"Brother Long, if you need any help, just call. I'll bring people over immediately."
Chen Meijia longed for Long Xiao to need her help. She came to Xinglin Caotang every day, but besides sweeping the floor and helping with cooking, she had almost nothing to do.
