Free Web NovelChapter 398: Chapter 398: Missed the Registration
"Our ancestral medical books recorded an ancient miraculous elixir. I remember it’s called the Marrow Changing Pill. However, the method of refining this pill and its recipe has long been lost."
"Now even I don’t know where to find the recipe and the method to refine it, so I have no other choice left!"
Li Zhi shook his head and sighed.
Wang Hao, however, was thrilled to hear this, because he had long known the recipe and method of refining the Marrow Changing Pill. He just wasn’t sure whether this pill would be of help with Ya Ya’s condition.
He had only speculated before, after all, he did not understand pharmacology and was not completely certain.
Now that a descendant of Li Shizhen has said that this pill is useful, he must make an effort to refine it.
"I’ll figure out a way to deal with the Marrow Changing Pill. Can you first stabilize Ya Ya’s condition to ensure she won’t have another attack?"
Wang Hao pleaded.
"What?"
Li Zhi was half doubtful of Wang Hao’s words. He couldn’t believe that Wang Hao had such confidence to refine this rare medicinal pill, a recipe even his medical family couldn’t find.
"That is a pill that has been lost for thousands of years. Where are you going to find the recipe and refinement method?"
"Even if it’s difficult, I still have to try. So please, stabilize Ya Ya’s condition now!"
Wang Hao pleaded again.
"Stabilizing the little girl’s condition isn’t a problem, but..."
Li Zhi always felt that Wang Hao was too arrogant; such a medicinal pill was simply impossible to find again.
But he was a doctor and could not stand by and watch death unfold, so Li Zhi decided to stabilize Ya Ya’s condition first.
Li Zhi took out his medical kit, which he carried with him. Upon opening it, it was filled with rows of black needles.
Li Zhi picked up a needle and slowly inserted it into Ya Ya’s acupoint. After about a minute, he pulled it out, and the black substance on the needle had vanished without a trace.
And after Li Zhi finished the acupuncture, he also instructed Zheng Cailian to stop giving Ya Ya any medicine.
"I’ve stopped Ya Ya’s medication now because I fear it might conflict with my treatment. Moreover, all medicines have side effects. Ya Ya is so young; we can’t have any mistakes."
"But my method can only temporarily relieve Ya Ya’s condition. If you can find the Marrow Changing Pill, you must hurry."
Li Zhi stated righteously after finishing the acupuncture.
"If I’m not mistaken, Ya Ya must have been injured not long ago, losing quite a bit of blood. At that time, her ability to produce blood had already been lost, which greatly impacted her condition."
"My method can sustain her for up to three years at most. Manage your time well."
"Thank you so much!"
Wang Hao was extremely grateful to Li Zhi.
"I really don’t know what I could offer you to express my gratitude."
"If you really want to thank me, that’s fine. I don’t want anything else, but if you find the Marrow Changing Pill, you must give me a call. I really want to see this legendary Divine Pill!"
After speaking, Li Zhi left one of his business cards with Wang Hao.
"No problem!" frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Wang Hao smiled, thinking that it was true to the spirit of a medical family, even the way they requested a reward for healing was different.
After treating Ya Ya with acupuncture, Li Zhi was eager to leave because he was the Divine Doctor engaged in scholarly exchange in Chicheng County, and naturally, his time was precious.
Wang Hao also etched this favor deep into his heart, thinking that he must repay him doubly someday.
After settling Zheng Cailian and Ya Ya, Wang Hao returned to the company in Zao City. He had some matters to discuss with Chen Hongying.
But when Wang Hao saw Chen Hongying, he noticed she was frowning, sitting at her desk, staring blankly at the sky outside, lost in thought.
"Sister Hongying, what’s wrong? Are you troubled by something?"
Wang Hao couldn’t help but step forward to ask.
It was only then that Chen Hongying noticed Wang Hao had come in. She turned her head to look at Wang Hao, her eyes suddenly lighting up as if she had seen hope.
"This time, we might not have a chance to participate in the traditional Chinese medicine auction."
Chen Hongying stood up to speak, but was immediately pushed back down into the chair by Wang Hao. Seeing Wang Hao’s dismissive demeanor, she couldn’t help but frown and say,
"Yesterday, I went to sign up for the traditional Chinese medicine auction, and they actually refused, claiming that the legal representative must come in person."
"No worries, I’ll find some time to go there myself soon."
Wang Hao thought that such a trivial matter shouldn’t have caused Chen Hongying to be secretly fretting.
"But the registration deadline was yesterday!"
Chen Hongying’s words were like a bucket of cold water poured over him.
"What? The deadline passed?"
Now, Wang Hao could no longer sit still. This auction was a great opportunity for Wang Hao to establish himself in Zao City. If he couldn’t make a name for himself at this auction, his future development in Zao City would surely be fraught with twists and turns.
Moreover, Cheng Yin would definitely not let Wang Hao off easily, making Wang Hao’s company development in Zao City even more difficult.
"Then why didn’t you tell me earlier?"
Wang Hao blamed her.
"They only told me at the last moment before the registration closed. When they demanded the legal representative come in person, I was about to call you, but by then, they said the registration was closed."
"Even if you had known at the time, you wouldn’t have been able to make it for the registration."
Chen Hongying explained helplessly.
They informed Chen Hongying only at the last minute about the news, which had been kept under wraps until then. Wang Hao thought to himself that there must be some trickery afoot.
"I have a rare Lingzhi mushroom here. Contact Zhang Xuepin and ask him to come and get it quickly."
Wang Hao stood up, speaking as he walked.
"Don’t worry, I’ll handle the auction."
Seeing the rare Lingzhi mushroom on the table, Chen Hongying realized she was becoming increasingly unable to see through Wang Hao. In Wang Hao’s possession, such rare treasures seemed inexhaustible.
From time to time, he could produce some.
Xiāngběi region is known for producing rare traditional Chinese medicines. In ancient times, people from the imperial court would come here to collect traditional Chinese medicines, so everyone looking for rare treasures would come to Zao City’s traditional Chinese medicine auction.
Zao City had thus built a very large auction venue, capable of accommodating several thousand people, making each auction an event that attracted much attention.
With only two days until the start of the auction, Zao City was already teeming with people from all over the country. Many had come in advance to familiarize themselves with the terrain and the venue, including quite a few prominent figures.
Just as Wang Hao got out of the car, a group of people approached, blocking him from behind, led by a prominent figure with white hair, a long beard, and an imposing aura.
"Who is this? Such a big show!"
Wang Hao complained resentfully.
"What are you muttering, kid?"
One of the men turned his head and glared fiercely at Wang Hao as if ready to devour him, his cheeks flapping with anger.
"Are you deaf or what? Didn’t you hear me with all the noise I’m making?"
Wang Hao was not intimidated in the least. With the entire underworld of Zao City under his control, to see someone daring to be so aggressive towards Wang Hao suggested they were tired of living.
"Daring to be rude to Mr. Tan, it seems you’re the one who’s tired of living,"
the man with the fleshy face shouted, and several uniformed strongmen charged at him all at once.
In a moment, Wang Hao was surrounded by a dozen uniformed strongmen...
