Chapter 12: Causing An Uproar In The Drug Industry (2/2)

Mo Wuji was a drug refiner, how could he possibly not recognise a herb? Unless he really made a mistake? That’s not possible, all these years he has not heard anyone recognise Cai Fruit as BaiHua Fruit before.

”Ah ah…I was wrong. What I've learnt are ancient drugs and I've forgotten that all their names were changed. There are many drugs today which I am still unfamiliar with; I might have to go buy a book about herbs to memorise,” Mo Wuji said with a straight face.

”Oh, no wonder...” Lan Yu did not suspect Mo Wuji anymore. Mo Wuji did explain the characteristics of the different herbs and even drew out some pictures, he should not be lying.

”Alright, I will take my leave now and come back to Dan Han Drug Refinery two months later.”

Lan Yu nodded his head, took the paper from Mo Wuji and bid farewell to Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief and slowly left the hotel. A day of testing the market was finally not for nothing.

He was not worried that Lan Yu might obtain the formula he was researching on, not to mention the few important herbs he had on his hands that Lan Yu did not. Even if he were to give these herbs to Lan Yu, this solution could not be developed by any normal person.

…

Mo Wuji just returned to Dan Han Drug Refinery when Lu Jiujun hurried over, ”Brother Mo, when are you going to start researching on the new drug? I do have a few half completed drug formulae...”

Mo Wuji shook his hand, ”I already have a new formula, and let us just forget about these half completed ones. I do want to take a look at Dan Han Drug Refinery's pharmaceutical classics, though. Oh yes, I'm still short of some gold coins to purchase some herbs for my research.”

”All these are not a problem; I will first bring you to Dan Han's only drug record room,” Lu Jiujun said without any hesitation, he was also very anxious about the development of this new drug.

…

Although DanHan Drug Refinery failed previously, they had quite a few rare pharmaceutical classics, some which could no longer be found in the market.

Mo Wuji took a look at these pharmaceutical books and he knew he did not need to buy any additional books to memorise the herbs' names. He casually told Lu Jiujun, ”Old Lu, I need you to help me find a few reliable workers. Once the new drug is developed, it will be produced in our backyard. Remember, I want the development of our new drug to be confidential therefore the workers must be reliable and trustworthy. Two days later, we start work. Two months from now, that will be when Dan Han Drug Refinery will rise again. No, I mean will cause an uproar in the drug industry.”

After Lu Jiujun's Dan Han Drug Refinery’s decline, it did not leave much behind and this backyard alone was already spacious enough.

In fact, Mo Wuji knew very clearly that no matter how secretive he was, the penicillin fermentation process cannot be kept a secret for too long because it was way too simple. The only thing that can be kept secret was the method of producing the nutrient solution. However, the process to produce nutrient solution was also too simple. Once it is leaked, it can be imitated easily. However Mo Wuji did not care less, as long as he was able to make his first bucket of gold coins, he would find ways to increase it. Regarding the fact that penicillin will cause an uproar in the drug industry, he was not lying at all because penicillin was after all a drug that did not belong to this particular period.

This sentence acted almost like an elixir of life to Lu Jiujun as he seemed to be revived immediately, hitting his chest and said, ”Brother Mo, do not worry, I will personally make sure no one leaks any secrets of my Dan Han Drug Refinery.

”Hold up...” Without waiting for Lu Jiujun to leave, Mo Wuji found a piece of paper and wrote a list of equipment and passed it to Lu Jiujun,”I would need these pieces of equipment too, to prepare for the production of the new drug.”

Lu Jiujun gave Mo Wuji a puzzled look, ”What do you need all these different types of glass bottles and test tubes for?”

Mo Wuji shook his hand, ”You do not have to bother with all these, and just listen to what I say. In two months, Dan Han Drug Refinery will rise from the dead.”

These were not meant for the penicillin, but for the development of his of Channel Opening Solution.
