Chapter 232: Chapter 232: Divine Doctor Jiang Is Quite Lucky with the Ladies
"However, since Uncle Shen is unwilling to do it, you’re the most qualified person in Jizhou."
Jiang Xinghai looked at the ninety-year-old Du Jingsong. "Since we’re doing this, we must be the best."
"Thank you, Duke Jiang, for this great honor. I promise I won’t drop the ball." Du Jingsong raised his hand to swear an oath, unable to contain his excitement.
"The most pressing matter now is for me to write out the formula for the Nourishing Essence Pill. I’ll have to trouble all of you to help me gather the ingredients. The sooner, the better."
Jiang Xinghai looked around at everyone, picked up a few napkins, and began to write with flamboyant, calligraphic strokes.
The Nourishing Essence Pill formula consisted of thirty-six medicinal ingredients in total.
When Du Jingsong and the others read it, their expressions filled with helplessness.
After they went through the list one by one, they concluded that they could only find thirty of the ingredients. The other six were all Third Grade Spiritual Medicines, most of which they had never even heard of.
One could only imagine that even if Alchemists hadn’t gone extinct, trying to refine this pill would still be a fool’s dream.
"If you really can’t find them, substitute them with Second Grade medicinal ingredients. If that’s not possible, use First Grade. But you absolutely cannot use Mortal Items."
Jiang Xinghai then wrote down the names of twelve more medicinal ingredients across the two different grades.
Everyone nodded emphatically, said their goodbyes, and left.
In the large hall, only Jiang Xinghai and a few members of the Shen Family remained.
Suddenly—
"Congratulations, Patriarch Shen. We’ve arrived a bit late." Two young women walked in through the doorway.
It was none other than Ye Zhiqiu and Mi Hong.
"And you two are?"
Shen Zhengye stood up, smiling warmly at the newcomers with a friendly gaze.
"Patriarch Shen, my father is Ye Mang. He’s in Central State and couldn’t make it back in time, so he sent me with a gift to offer congratulations." Ye Zhiqiu approached with light, graceful steps.
"Ah, so you’re Miss Ye. Please, have a seat." Shen Zhengye smiled in realization.
Three years ago, when his Dantian was destroyed by Wang Yuan, the person in charge of the dark web had been Ye Mang.
Although the two had crossed paths, their relationship was merely average.
"Divine Doctor Jiang, I trust you’ve been well," Ye Zhiqiu said, turning her head to look at him.
Mi Hong also smiled charmingly.
Jiang Xinghai nodded back with a smile in response.
"Brother Xinghai’s network is quite extensive," Shen Lingyin muttered, feeling indignant on her sister’s behalf.
"I’m a doctor, so it’s normal to know a lot of people," Jiang Xinghai said, gently tapping Shen Lingxue on the forehead.
She tried to dodge but failed, shooting him a fierce glare. "So, you’re saying they’re both your patients?"
"Yes, I’m helping them with their treatment," Jiang Xinghai admitted frankly.
Shen Lingyin didn’t say another word. If she were to ask what their illnesses were, it would be far too nosy.
"You must be Second Miss Shen. Hello. My chronic issue is a ’cold uterus’."
Suddenly, Ye Zhiqiu looked at Shen Lingyin. Not only did she frankly state her condition to her face, but she also pointed to a spot three inches below her navel. "Divine Doctor Jiang is helping me with acupuncture and massage right here. The results have been excellent."
"’Cold uterus?’" Shen Lingyin gave a stunned smile.
Her mother, Qiao Huimin, and her sister, Shen Lingxue, also had strange expressions on their faces.
A cold uterus—that’s a woman’s ailment.
The spot for the acupuncture and massage was indeed quite intimate.
"Oh, and my best friend, Mi Hong, has a nodule on her right side. Besides coming to congratulate the Shen Family today, we were also hoping to ask Divine Doctor Jiang to give my friend some acupuncture and massage." Ye Zhiqiu’s explanation seemed gentle and refined, but it was laced with immense provocation.
This was a provocation between women.
Sure enough, when Shen Lingxue and Shen Lingyin heard that Jiang Xinghai was going to perform acupuncture and massage on Mi Hong’s chest, their expressions darkened in unison.
’How interesting!’
’Two women. One with a cold uterus, the other with a breast nodule!’
’These were a woman’s most private issues, and both supposedly required acupuncture and massage.’
The two sisters couldn’t help but look at Jiang Xinghai.
Jiang Xinghai just smiled earnestly and didn’t respond.
"Divine Doctor Jiang, why don’t you come home with us now?" Ye Zhiqiu and Mi Hong stood up one after the other.
The sisters Shen Lingxue and Shen Lingyin were also staring at Jiang Xinghai.
"There’s no time right now. I have to be at Jishan Hall for my clinic hours later. Let’s do it another time," Jiang Xinghai said, his expression serious as he waved them off tactfully.
’Are you kidding me?!’
’In his peripheral vision, he could see the hostility in Shen Lingxue’s eyes. How could he possibly agree to go?’
Besides, his daily clinic hours at Jishan Hall were something he had promised Lin Liping.
’As for that cunning woman, Ye Zhiqiu, he couldn’t care less.’
"Alright then. We’ll wait for Divine Doctor Jiang’s arrival."
Ye Zhiqiu didn’t press the issue. She said her goodbyes to everyone and left with Mi Hong.
"Divine Doctor Jiang, you’re quite the ladies’ man."
At that moment, Shen Lingyin stood up, pulling Shen Lingxue with her as if to leave.
"Divine Doctor Jiang, I guess we won’t be waiting for you to come home for dinner tonight."
Shen Lingxue sighed softly. "After all, you’re having so much fun eating and drinking outside, you won’t even think about coming home."
With that, the two women left.
"Hahaha..."
The couple, Shen Zhengye and Qiao Huimin, who hadn’t spoken a word until now, suddenly looked at Jiang Xinghai and burst out laughing.
"Uncle, Auntie, what are you two laughing at?" Jiang Xinghai was speechless.
"We’re laughing at what a ladies’ man you’ve become."
Shen Zhengye walked up and clapped Jiang Xinghai on the shoulder. "Honey, could you step out for a moment? Jiang and I have something serious to discuss."
Qiao Huimin tactfully took her leave.
"Jiang, your aunt and I can both tell... it seems both of my daughters have fallen for you," Shen Zhengye said, his tone growing serious.
