Chapter Fifteen: Herbs and Threats

Wu You sat in the courtyard, carefully sorting out his thoughts. Only two or three days had passed since he obtained the bio-alchemy system, but the events that had occurred in those two or three days were more exciting than the previous twenty years combined, keeping him in a state of constant excitement.

Now that safety is no longer an issue and we have the money, we need to find a way to treat Wu Jianguo's illness.

Wu You didn't distrust the treatment capabilities of Qiantang Central Hospital, but she didn't want Wu Jianguo to suffer any more.

The all-powerful Baidu has once again become Wu You's treasure trove of knowledge. This time, he wants to refine several suitable herbs, not that he doesn't want to refine an animal that can cure diseases.

However, firstly, using animals to treat illnesses is too exaggerated and difficult to conceal; secondly, since it involves healing someone like Wu Jianguo who is seriously injured, then this animal must have reached the level of transcending the mortal realm.

Putting aside the fact that such animals require high-grade materials, it would certainly be worth the risk to go to the Beast Mountain for his father, but where would he get the Transcendent Energy materials needed for the Transcendent Transformation?

Keep in mind that Garurumon is only close to reaching the Transcendent Realm in its current state.

Therefore, Wu You placed his hopes on traditional Chinese medicine. There were various prescriptions and ointments available in traditional Chinese medicine for various purposes, such as restoring consciousness, treating internal injuries, setting bones, and stopping bleeding, but the effects were not strong enough.

So what if Wu You enhanced the effects of the original medicinal materials to a certain level? He could easily create something similar to the legendary holy medicine Black Jade Bone-Setting Ointment, based on traditional Chinese medicine remedies like Rejuvenation Pill and Bone-Setting Ointment.

Medicine is a very rigorous matter. Even with traditional Chinese medicine, prescriptions cannot be prepared haphazardly, and strong or potent drugs cannot be used indiscriminately. Wu You was well aware of this, so he had to ask a reliable expert in traditional Chinese medicine for help.

As it happened, Wu You actually knew such a person. His name was Bai Yanxi, and he was from the neighboring city of Kuaiji. When Wu You was very young, Bai Yanxi had treated his grandfather's bone injury and eliminated bone spurs. He was a well-known folk doctor in the area at that time.

However, Grandpa Wu You has been gone for almost 8 years. In my memory, that Dr. Bai was a very old man. I wonder if he is still alive now.

I'll go to Kuaiji City in a while and see if I can find it.

Looking at the remaining alchemical energy, there are 9 points left. If we consider that each herb may need to be cultivated again, it's best to keep the number of alchemical attempts to within 4.

Having made up his mind, Wu You immediately started searching online for information on which medicinal herbs were suitable for alchemy.

You won't believe it until you look it up. It turns out that many Chinese medicines are not entirely made from plants. For example, musk is the secretion from the sac of a male musk deer.

Finally, after browsing and searching through many prescriptions containing potent medicines and comparing their ingredients, I initially listed Angelica sinensis, Myrrh, Panax notoginseng, Carthamus tinctorius, Musk, and Eupolyphaga sinensis as the main ingredients, and added a refined ginseng product as an ingredient to replenish qi and blood.

In other words, it takes exactly four attempts to refine the material. If any one of them fails, the reserve of cultivation energy must be used to make up for it.

Of these items, only musk is particularly troublesome, as it requires a live male musk deer.

Wild musk deer are a first-class protected animal, so if you want to hunt them, you can only go to Wanshou Mountain. There should also be farmed musk deer, but I don't know where to get them or how long it would take.

Wu You directly ordered the aforementioned live Chinese medicinal herbs online and paid extra for express delivery via SF Express.

...

Just as Wu You was planning to manufacture a traditional Chinese medicine that could cure his father, Liu Weiliang, the general manager of Shengtian Group's Qiantang branch, was receiving a phone call from the president of Shengtian.

Liu Weiliang felt a little uneasy when he saw the caller ID.

"Mr. Fan, this is Liu Weiliang. It's nothing, no need to bother you. As for the Natural Club matter, it's progressing. Yes, yes, there's been a little trouble. But please rest assured, I will resolve it quickly."

Inside a skyscraper in Kyoto, Fan Shuxing smiled and said, "Okay, that's good. I trust your abilities. By the way, I'll be going to Qiantang in a week."

"What brings you to Qiantang? Oh no, I mean I'll definitely treat you well." Liu Weiliang broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that you've come to check his accounts?

"You don't need to guess. I came to Qiantang to attend a special auction hosted by Wanli. It's about that priceless luminous pearl. You can check it out online when you have time."

Fan Zhengxing didn't let Liu Weiliang guess any further: "Alright, that's all for now, I'll hang up first."

"Yes, yes, you're busy, you're busy."

Only after hearing the phone call end did Liu Weiliang wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Don't be fooled by Fan Zhengxing's amiable and easygoing demeanor. As the eldest brother back then, even after so many years, Fan Zhengxing's ruthless methods still send chills down Liu Weiliang's spine.

Liu Weiliang opened a webpage on his computer and randomly searched for "luminous pearl." The first page of results was full of news articles about the discovery of a rare treasure in Qiantang or similar headlines, complete with pictures, text, and videos. The auction date was also set for next Saturday, July 8th.

Although I was also very curious about the luminous pearl, such a treasure was clearly too far beyond my reach, and I guessed that only Fan Zhengxing had a chance of acquiring it.

Although Fan Zhengxing did not come to Qiantang for his own sake, it was still very dangerous for him. He would not have peace of mind until the plan was completed.

Moreover, Fan Tiantian will definitely come with Fan Zhengxing, and that woman is very likely to take the opportunity to investigate Liu Weiliang.

We have to hurry, it seems we might have to bleed a little.

...

Wu You had just placed an order for some live ground beetles when his phone rang. He saw it was an unfamiliar number with several 8s at the end.

I pressed the answer button, and the voice on the other end was that of an unfamiliar man.

When Liu Weiliang saw that the call had been answered, he put down his teacup.

"You must be Wu Jianguo's son. No, we don't know each other. Let me introduce myself. I am Liu Weiliang, the general manager of Shengtian Group's Qiantang branch."

Wu You, who had been nonchalant and puzzled, turned cold instantly after hearing Liu Weiliang's self-introduction.

"Oh, so you're the person in charge of Shengtian here. My apologies, Mr. Liu."

After Wu You finished speaking, Liu Weiliang continued, "Regarding the demolition compensation for your land, we had a small misunderstanding before. I also know that Wu Jianguo was recently in a car accident, and you must need the money very much. I think we can compromise. I will raise your demolition compensation to 3 million yuan. You can come to me tomorrow to sign the demolition contract."

Wu You smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, I don't need the money right now, and my family doesn't plan to sell this land either, so I think you should look for another auspicious location for your development plan."

Upon hearing this, Liu Weiliang's face fell.

Wu You continued, "By the way, Mr. Liu, I have a question to ask you."

"What's the problem?" Liu Weiliang was already showing signs of impatience.

"It's nothing major, just asking how much you paid when you hired someone to run over Wu Jianguo?" Wu You's tone was very calm.

"It cost..." Liu Weiliang stopped abruptly as soon as he started to speak: "I'm telling you, Wu family kid, I also feel sorry for your dad's car accident. Unexpected things can happen. Don't be so paranoid. I advise you to sign the agreement with me as soon as possible and get the money to save your dad's life. Don't try to save face. Don't be too greedy. 3 million is already a lot."

"Oh, by the way, it's hard to predict what might happen today. Who knows, one day the storm might blow over you, Xiao Wu. Haha, never mind, I've given you two days to take the exam and think it over."

Liu Weiliang hung up the phone immediately.

Wu You's eyes were now filled with cold light.

I haven't even gone to find you yet, and you've already jumped out again. Since you're so ruthless and vicious, there's no need for me to adhere to moral principles with a beast like you.
