Chapter 12: Causing An Uproar In The Drug Industry

Seeing how Lan Yu gave him a puzzled look, Mo Wuji laughed while saying, ”Brother Lan, you are about to sell this medicinal herb to our refinery for a price even higher than the battlefield nearby, so why go the extra mile?”

The thought of penicillin made Mo Wuji felt great. No matter the quality of any drug, is there one better than penicillin in preventing bacterial infection? Most importantly, penicillin is a drug he could use Dan Han Drug Refinery's equipment to produce.

Lan Yu looked at Mo Wuji suspiciously. In fact, from the moment Mo Wuji mentioned he is the drug refiner of Dan Han Drug Refinery; Lan Yu had his doubts about him already.

”Drug refiner Mo, I've heard that things have been difficult at Dan Han Drug Refinery recently...” Lan Yu's tone was a little tactful, but his intention was very obvious. He meant to say that Mo Wuji was not capable.

If it was before he thought of penicillin, Mo Wuji would not dare to boast, however he said without any hesitation, ”Brother Lan, you will soon realise that Dan Han Drug Refinery will cause an uproar in Cheng Yu because there is a successful businessman who has directly invested millions of gold coins into Dan Han Drug Refinery.”

Lan Yu did not bother to find out whether this is real because even if it is fake, he could just sell the drug to someone else, ”Alright, it’s a deal then.”

”In addition to the general herbs, I would need some special herbs too. I will write it on a piece of paper for you shortly and I would need to trouble you to find it for me. Two months later, no matter how many herbs you have, you can bring them to Dan Han Drug Refinery and I will offer you a price higher than any refinery at the cities at the warfront can offer,” Mo Wuji said while getting pen and paper from the table.

The production of penicillin did not require many herbs. The herbs he had were either used for medical research or given to Dan Han Drug Refinery as additional products, he cannot possibly just sell penicillin. Of course, his main goal was to continue refining the solution which can open up the meridians.

Lan Yu frowned slightly,”Hold on, two months is way too long, I cannot wait till then.”

Mo Wuji laughed while saying, ”Brother Lan, are you in urgent need of money? If you're not, why can't you wait? It is not as if the war will end anytime soon.”

LanYu gave it a little thought and realised what Mo Wuji said was right. Even though he would be able to fetch a slightly higher price at the warfront cities, it was indeed more dangerous. It was after all only two months.

”We will do as you wish, just write down the herbs you need,” Lan Yu was a very simple and straightforward person. Since he agreed to it, he would not hesitate. Lan Yu felt Mo Wuji's extreme self-confidence as he spoke.

Mo Wuji knew from the start Lan Yu would agree because unless he did not have a choice, why would anyone enter the battlefield? After Lan Yu agree, Mo Wuji wrote on paper a list of ten herbs for Lan Yu.

”LongYan Grass, BaiHua Fruit, Vine of Artemisia, Millettia, Dark Yellow Ginseng, Vein of Thousand Year Pine Tree, Fire Essence Stone...”

Lan Yu frowned at the moment he saw the list that Mo Wuji was writing because he had never heard of most of these herbs.

”Drug refiner Mo, maybe the herbs you wrote down are of the top grade because I do not recognise most of them like the BaiHua fruit, Vine of Artemisia, Dusk Needle Flower...” After reading it twice, Lan Yu was finally so annoyed that he returned the paper back to Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji immediately understood what the problem was. The names of these herbs should be different here and on earth.

At the thought of this, Mo Wuji hurried to grab another piece of paper, started drawing and at the same time explain the growth characteristics. For example, Fire Essence Stones were normally found below dry volcanic rocks, Vine of Artemisia grew in wetter regions and purple flowers would only bloom from Dusk Needle Flower at midnight...”

”So the BaiHua Fruit you mentioned is Cai Fruit, Dusk Needle Fruit is Night-Purple ah...” Lan Yu finally understood but was still suspicious of Mo Wuji.
