1594 Spouting Nonsense with a Straight Face 1 (2/2)
Jun Wu Xie then explained seriously: ”That medicine is indeed concocted by me but I have merely followed a prescription and the steps indicated to concoct that. How it was formed and what principle is behind that is beyond me as what I've done is merely to follow the steps.
The little old man's face was filled with disbelief.
”Kid, do try to pull wool over my eyes just because I'm old. Although I am rather advanced in age, but I still have not yet gone senile. Concocting medicine is not making tofu and people without a certain level of foundation, no matter what kind of presciption they got, they would not be able to concoct such a flawless elixir.”
Towards that point, the little old man had a lot of prior experience, He had many medical books in his possession and he had also secretly peeked at others concocting it, remembering every single step very clearly, but the result had been the same every time….. Horrible.
Jun Wu Xie did not show the slightest awkwardness and she continued to say: ”If the elderly one does not believe me I can bring the prescription here and tell you the way to concoct it. You'll know once you try it.”
As long as he does not hold that bottle of medicine to come ask her to fight for the glory of medical practitioners, anything goes!
Please spare me!
The little man man stared in half disbelief as he looked at Jun Wu, the little old man's eyes surveying Jun Wu's cold and expressionless face, seeking to find the slightest sign that showed that Jun Wu was lying. But within that pair of clear eyes, he could not find any sign of subterfuge in there.
Looking really…..
Especially earnest!
”Is there really such a thing? That works for me as well. Give it to me to let me have a try and if it works, I will believe your words. But if it fails, Kid, you had better not be trying to trick an old man.” The little old man said, the expression on his face completely unlike an old man, with a white beard streaked with grey, but his demeanor just like a child.
Like his youth was being rejuvenated. Jun Wu Xie sighed lightly inwardly but her face maintaining a highly serious look.
”Alright.”
