Chapter 366: Chapter 366: Meeting Elder Wei
The Revival Pill, just by looking at the name, seems like a type of potent restorative medicine. In fact, it really is a kind of virility drug.
For modern people, such medications are also available in drugstores, and the demand is quite high. However, these kinds of pills involve some precious medicinal materials, and Wang Hao doesn’t yet have the inclination to research them.
Then there were the Soul Return Pill, the Grand Internal Pill...
What followed was a long list of pill names, all of which overwhelmed Wang Hao.
As he read on, Wang Hao was suddenly shocked by one name in particular. freёweɓnovel.com
The Marrow Changing Pill!
Wang Hao quickly searched through the subsequent content for the method of making this pill.
The Marrow Changing Pill cleanses the sinews and transforms the marrow, reversing destiny against the heavens.
There were only a simple eight characters describing the Marrow Changing Pill, but Wang Hao knew in his heart that this was the pill he was looking for.
Ya Ya was suffering from leukemia because the bone marrow in her body had lost its blood-making function. To treat leukemia, one needed to replace the bone marrow.
But Ya Ya’s condition was highly unusual, making finding compatible bone marrow for her more difficult than reaching the heavens.
Yet, this method of cleansing the sinews and changing the marrow would surely save Ya Ya.
However, upon seeing the recipe for creating this pill, Wang Hao couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.
The King Tianshan Snow Lotus, Earth Leader Star King, Barbaric Wilderness Herb, Dragon Bone Flower, and Phoenix Tail Grass. The other auxiliary ingredients were findable, but these essential materials had Wang Hao stumped.
Wang Hao tried to calm himself down. Just because he was clueless about these items didn’t mean that everyone else was.
He would have to inquire more in the future—there was bound to be some gains.
Next, Wang Hao prepared to pick out some of the simpler and easier pills to try to refine by himself. He memorized their formulas in his mind, planning to test them out as soon as the Alchemy Furnace was ready.
Wang Hao didn’t have a car, so the next day, Wen Yonglin sent one to the Peninsula International Hotel to pick up Wang Hao and take him to meet Elder Wei.
"What’s the matter? Are you nervous?"
Seeing Wang Hao silent, Wen Yonglin couldn’t resist asking.
"To say I’m not nervous at all is definitely impossible. I’m about to meet Elder Wei!"
Wang Hao replied with a wry smile.
"It’s okay. It’s normal to be nervous the first time. I didn’t even know what to say when I met Elder Wei for the first time!"
Wen Yonglin self-deprecatingly comforted Wang Hao.
After being reassured by Wen Yonglin, Wang Hao felt much more relaxed, and the two of them chatted and laughed until they reached the Wei family’s grand residence.
As soon as he got out of the car, Wang Hao was stunned by the sight before him—a grand residence filled with classical charm.
In the bustling city of Zao City, he hadn’t expected to find a garden-style mansion. Usually, such mansions could only be seen in scenic or suburban areas.
But the Wei family’s mansion was constructed near the city center.
It seemed that Elder Wei’s influence was indeed unfathomable.
Upon entry, four bodyguards immediately approached, carrying detectors, carefully inspecting Wen Yonglin and Wang Hao.
Then someone came from behind and took the backpack right from Wang Hao’s hands.
"What’s this..."
Wang Hao hadn’t expected so many rules at Elder Wei’s residence.
"Don’t worry, they will return it to you after the inspection!"
Wen Yonglin smiled, noticing Wang Hao’s anxiety.
"I’m just afraid that after the inspection, the things in the bag will be gone!"
Inside was a beast skin of inestimable value, and Wang Hao couldn’t ensure that people here wouldn’t be tempted by it.
"You can rest assured, no one has ever lost anything in the Wei family!"
Wen Yonglin shook his head helplessly.
Just as the inspection was completed here, Butler Yang emerged, leading Wen Yonglin and Wang Hao towards the hall.
"Wang Hao, wait for me!"
Shen Shiyi’s voice just reached them as they took a few steps, and Wang Hao turned back, indeed seeing Shen Shiyi running towards him from the entrance.
"How come Shen Shiyi is here? Why didn’t these people inspect her just now?"
Wang Hao couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.
"No one here dares to inspect her!"
Wen Yonglin gave a mysterious smile.
All of a sudden, Wang Hao’s heart trembled as if he had thought of something, but he wasn’t sure.
"Shen Shiyi, when you told me earlier that your grandfather wanted to see me, your grandfather wouldn’t happen to be Old Wei, would he?"
Wang Hao widened his eyes and asked Shen Shiyi.
Shen Shiyi could come and go from Old Wei’s residence as she pleased, whereas others had to undergo a rigorous inspection. This phenomenon could only be explained by one reason: Shen Shiyi was a relative of Old Wei.
Shen Shiyi paused for a moment and then said with a smile on her face.
"Yes, in fact, Old Wei is also my maternal grandfather, but I have been used to calling him grandfather since I was little. My mother’s surname is Wei, but my dad’s surname is Shen, so I followed my dad’s surname."
It was then that Wang Hao suddenly realized.
He had been wondering why Old Wei’s granddaughter would be surnamed Shen. It turned out that Shen Qingyun had married into the Wei family, but Old Wei, being a reasonable man, hadn’t insisted that their offspring take the Wei surname.
Since Old Wei was Shen Shiyi’s grandfather, that meant he was also Shen Jiayi’s grandfather. Wang Hao could guess the purpose behind Old Wei’s desire to meet him.
Wang Hao couldn’t help but glance at Wen Yonglin.
Wen Yonglin had known all along about the entire situation ever since he received his own invitation but had been keeping Wang Hao in suspense. Wang Hao couldn’t help but mutter to himself about how cunning the old man was.
Now that he saw the entire truth, Wang Hao wasn’t as nervous as before. Actually, all these matters tied together simply, it was just that there were many details unknown to everyone.
Upon entering the Wei family residence, Wang Hao felt extremely oppressed, as if entering a prison, because guard posts were set up everywhere.
Moreover, not only were they led by Butler Yang in front, but four burly bodyguards stood behind them, making Wang Hao feel like he was a prisoner being watched.
But on the other hand, the fact that so many people were cautiously guarding a residence indicated that Old Wei must be even more extraordinary than the legends outside suggested.
"Grandfather!"
As soon as they entered the living room, Shen Shiyi cheerfully called out and ran directly to an old man sitting in the room.
This old man had white-streaked hair and a face filled with wrinkles, yet he looked very robust, especially those firm eyes, which were fearsome to behold.
But when he saw Shen Shiyi, a touch of tenderness and affection flashed in his eyes. However, when he turned his head to look at Wen Yonglin and Wang Hao, he exuded an indescribable authority.
It seemed, this was the rarely seen major figure of Zao City mentioned by everyone—Old Wei!
"Young Wen, it’s been a long time, how have you been recently?"
Old Wei chuckled and said to Wen Yonglin.
Young Wen?
Wang Hao inwardly gave a bitter smile. In the whole of Zao City, probably only Old Wei had the authority to address Wen Yonglin like that.
"Thank you for your concern, Old Wei, I’ve been quite well recently!"
Wen Yonglin answered respectfully.
After speaking with Wen Yonglin, Old Wei then turned his attention towards Wang Hao, asking in a very amiable tone.
"This must be Wang Hao, right?"
