Chapter 52 An Even Better Blood-staunching Elixir (1/2)
The murmurings of the Lin family juniors reached Lin Lan’s ears, angering her so greatly that she turned white.
For the first time, she felt a sense of alienation from this family.
Her own family clan members would rather believe Fourth Elder Lin Tonghong rather than her, just because she was a side relative?
“Lin Lan, if you cannot produce irrefutable evidence today that the formula is your own and not one that you copied from Fourth Elder… you may take your own life,” Patriarch Lin Zhuoyue of the Lin family told Lin Lan with a cold gleam in his eye after hearing what Lin Tonghong had to say.
Hearing the bone-chilling declaration made Lin Lan finally realize that the patriarch of the Lin family was just like the Lin family juniors, believing Lin Tonghong’s nonsense.
Is this kind of family clan really worth being sentimental over?
No… it’s because Patriarch does not know the truth, that’s why he misunderstands me.
It seemed as though there were two different voices arguing in Lin Lan’s head,
Seeing how furious Lin Lan was, Zhou Donghuang’s expression froze, and he stared coldly at Lin Zhuoyue and said in a low voice.
“Patriarch Lin, making such serious declarations before we find out the truth… isn’t that rather inappropriate?”
“The results are already obvious… when Medicine Master Huang arrives, it will just be going through the motions,” Lin Zhuoyue replied dismissively as he gazed indifferently at Zhou Donghuang.
Just then, from the edge of the crowd came a shout, “Second Elder is back!”
“Medicine Master Huang is here!”
The crowd parted to make a path for Second Elder Lin Conghuan to come in, and with him came a plain-looking middle-aged man with a small and thin build. This was the intermediate-level medicine master employed by the Lin family, Huang Qishan.
“Medicine Master Huang.”
At Huang Qishan’s appearance, everyone from Patriarch Lin Zhuoyue to the Lin family juniors greeted him warmly.
“Patriarch, who claims to have formulated the blood-staunching elixir given to you by Fourth Elder?” Huang Qishan asked bluntly as soon as he arrived.
“Him.” Lin Zhuoyue glanced towards Zhou Donghuang.
As soon as Huang Qishan had taken a look at Zhou Donghuang, he gave a start before frowning and shouting angrily, “Absurd!”
“Even I, Huang Qishan, an intermediate-level medicine master, admit that I cannot formulate a blood-staunching elixir of such high quality. You, a kid who looks only sixteen or seventeen years old, would dare claim that you can formulate a blood-staunching elixir of this quality? Are you dreaming?”
Huang Qishan turned to leave with a flick of his sleeves once he had finished speaking.
“A mere intermediate-level medicine master like you is not worthy of debating with me regarding medicine.” Zhou Donghuang spoke up casually just as Huang Qishan turned his back, “Allowing you to compare yourself with me, Zhou Donghuang… even feels like an insult to me.”
“What did you say?!”
When Huang Qishan, who was about to leave, heard what Zhou Donghuang said, he turned around immediately in a rage, staring furiously at Zhou Donghuang.
“That is too much!”
Lin Zhuoyue and the rest of the Lin family leadership stared angrily at Zhou Donghuang, shouting out rebukes in unison.
Faced with condemnation from the Lin family leadership, Zhou Donghuang remained calm and took out from his pocket a piece of paper he had prepared long ago.
“The Lin family should have these herbs. Today, before your eyes, I will formulate a blood-staunching elixir that exceeds the effectiveness of those on the market by fifty percent, and I will enlighten you frogs in the well.”
So saying, Zhou Donghuang tossed the paper in his hand to Huang Qishan who instinctively reached out and caught it.
Huang Qishan glanced instinctively at the herbs listed on the paper and frowned.
“These herbs… eight-tenths of these are the ingredients in Fourth Elder’s blood-staunching elixir.”
“I have said before that the blood-staunching elixir was made with a formula that I made… as for the blood-staunching elixir produced with these herbs, that is the enhanced version of it,” Zhou Donghuang said casually.
The formula for the blood-staunching elixir that he had previously given his mother could only produce a blood-staunching elixir that was forty percent more effective than those on the market.
Now, he intended to formulate a blood-staunching elixir that was fifty percent more effective than those on the market and give the Lin family a resounding slap in the face.
Didn’t they say I was too young to have formulated a blood-staunching elixir that was forty percent more effective than those on the market? Then I will formulate a blood-staunching elixir that is fifty percent more effective than those on the market before your very eyes!
“Ridiculous!”
Fourth Elder Lin Tonghong looked condescendingly at Zhou Donghuang, smiling coldly as he said, “Who in this world cannot boast? You say that you are able to formulate a blood-staunching elixir that is fifty percent more effective than those on the market, and I Lin Tonghong say that I can formulate a qi-gathering elixir that can increase the sensitivity to qi by twenty percent.”
A qi-gathering elixir that could increase the sensitivity to qi by twenty percent could only be formulated by the superior-level medicine master of the Imperial Court of Yunyang country.
Standing beside Lin Tonghong, Lu Qinghu smiled coldly when he heard Lin Tonghong’s words
What was a qi-gathering elixir that could increase the sensitivity to qi by twenty percent? Young Master Donghuang could even formulate a qi-gathering elixir that could increase the sensitivity to qi by forty percent!
“Patriarch, I would like to see how this runt can formulate a blood-staunching elixir that is fifty percent more effective than those on the market.”
Huang Qishan walked towards Lin Zhuoyue and passed the piece of paper he was holding to him.
His meaning was clear—he wanted Lin Zhuoyue to gather the herbs listed on the paper so he could see Zhou Donghuang formulate the blood-staunching elixir.
“Medicine Maser Huang, do you feel this is really necessary?” Lin Zhuoyue asked with a frown.
