"I didn't, Uncle Chen, don't you trust me?" Ning Xin said anxiously, "You have to believe what Brother Ye said, he's not an ordinary person."
"Stop bragging. Is this kid even fully grown yet, trying to be a charlatan? Even if you want to be a charlatan, at least make it believable. Acting like a master at such a young age? Who would believe you?" Chu Xiang sneered.
"Chu Xiang, don't talk nonsense! Jingjing and I are such good friends, would I harm her?" Ning Xin was furious: "You just stand here and do nothing, and Jingjing is fine?"
"Who said I'm not doing anything? I've already sent medicine over," Chu Xiang sneered.
"What kind of medicine did you send? Did you send some kind of elixir of immortality?" Ning Xin said angrily.
"I had it delivered; it really is a magic pill," Chu Xiang said smugly. "A Soul-Locking Pill, ever heard of it?"
"Soul-Locking Pills?" Ye Xingchen frowned slightly. Could this guy be referring to the six pills he made using the Five Dragon Saliva?
However, one of the pills has already been given to Shen Qinghe's daughter-in-law, and there are still five left.
"What Soul-Locking Pill?" Ning Xin was taken aback. He seemed to have heard rumors in the industry that a master had refined a very effective medicine that could cure all diseases.
"Hehe, you don't understand, do you? The Soul-Locking Pill is a medicine refined by a master. It can cure all diseases and bring the dead back to life." Chu Xiang raised his head: "It is said that the master only had a few pills. I spent ten million to buy them from the black market."
"Bringing someone back to life? Are you out of your mind?" Ning Xin thought this guy was an idiot.
"I knew you wouldn't believe me. You know Shen Qinghe, right? A few days ago, his daughter-in-law was in a car accident. She was already dead when she was taken to the hospital. Two lives lost." Chu Xiang said, "You know that Master Shen's son died in an accident half a year ago, leaving only the child in his wife's belly as Master Shen's heir."
"The doctors had given up, but that expert happened to be there, and a Soul-Locking Pill saved Master Chen's daughter-in-law from the brink of death. What else could such a medicine be but a celestial elixir?"
“Even if such a medicine exists, it can’t be taken indiscriminately; it needs to be used for the right condition.” Ning Xin didn’t doubt his words, because he had indeed heard about this matter.
"The right medicine? This medicine can bring the dead back to life and cure all diseases, even cancer. I spent ten million to buy it from the black market, and it has already been delivered. This is my token of my affection for Jingjing."
"Chu Xiang, are you telling the truth?" Chen Yi'an and his wife were stunned.
"Of course it's true. Master Shen admitted it himself, but he refused to reveal the name of that expert, only that his surname is Ye," Chu Xiang said confidently.
"If it's true, that's wonderful. Jingjing has had a fever for so long and it hasn't gone down. The doctors can't do anything about it." Li Lan was overjoyed.
"I do have Soul-Locking Pills, but the ones you sent are definitely fake." Ye Xingchen smiled. He only had five Soul-Locking Pills left, all of which were in his possession.
The medicine bought on the black market is definitely not real; this guy probably spent ten million to buy flour instead.
This medicine can indeed dispel evil spirits, but that's like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. He can easily solve such a small problem, so how could he possibly need the Soul-Locking Pill?
"Fake? Nonsense! This medicine was bought from the black market. The Buddha of the black market is a man of absolute integrity. How could it be fake?" Chu Xiang sneered, "But you, do you find it fun to lie to people? Can you take responsibility for delaying Jingjing's treatment?"
"The real Soul-Locking Pill uses the Five Dragon Saliva as a medicinal ingredient. It can bring the dead back to life, revive the soul, and restore bodily functions. It's not an exaggeration to call it a celestial pill. Can you buy it for a thousand? Do you think it's as cheap as cabbage? This thing is priceless," Ye Xingchen sneered.
"Kid, do you think you know so much? Why don't you just say you can make this kind of medicine?" Chu Xiang sneered. "Uncle and Aunt, hurry up and kick them out. They're all liars."
“Ning Xin, why don’t you take your friend and leave first?” Li Lan hesitated.
"Aunt Li, you really don't believe me?" Ning Xin was speechless.
"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that your friend doesn't seem very reliable." Chen Yi'an glanced at Ye Xingchen.
“My brother Ye saved my grandfather’s life, and he even cured the leg that the gambling king Zhou Bingchen was about to have amputated. You can disbelieve me, but you can’t disbelieve my brother Ye.” Ning Xin was furious.
He believes in Brother Ye's eternal life. Ye Xingchen's position in his heart is irreplaceable. If it weren't for his good relationship with their daughter, he would have left long ago.
"Alright, Ning Xin, stop talking. With your relationship with Jingjing like this, how can you be so unreliable? After Jingjing wakes up, we need to consider whether you two should stay away from each other." Chen Yi'an's face darkened.
"Uncle Chen..." Ning Xin was speechless. Was this a death sentence for him? Was his relationship with Chen Jing over from now on?
"Ning Xin, you can't reason with a damned ghost. Let's go." Ye Xingchen glanced at the couple and said indifferently, "My surname is Ye. The master you mentioned, Mr. Ye, is me. The Soul-Locking Pill was made by me, and I also saved Shen Qinghe's daughter-in-law."
"There are only five Soul-Locking Pills left, and they are all with me now. I don't know what the ones I bought on the black market are, but if you really give them to your daughter, you will harm her."
"You say you're Mr. Ye? Haha, why don't you just say you're the emperor? You idiot, do you really think you're something special?" Chu Xiang didn't believe Ye Xingchen's words at all.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Just don't regret it when your daughter enters the second stage of self-harm." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly, too lazy to pay attention to this family, and turned to leave.
"Brother Ye, wait for me!" Ning Xin was startled and quickly chased after him.
“Uncle and Aunt, Ning Xin is an unreliable person by nature. Look at the kind of people he found, a charlatan and a fortune teller.” Chu Xiang said, “Don’t worry, the medicine has arrived and will be brought up soon.”
As they were talking, Chu Xiang's subordinate brought over a sandalwood box. Chu Xiang took the box and solemnly took out a pill the size of a walnut from it.
The pills weren't sealed with wax, and they were dark in color, with a sour and astringent smell.
"This is the Soul-Locking Pill?" The couple looked at the dark-colored pill and became somewhat uncertain.
“Yes, Uncle, this is the Soul-Locking Pill. This medicine can really bring the dead back to life. Master Shen’s daughter-in-law died along with her unborn child, and it was this medicine that saved her. Now this medicine is extremely hard to find on the black market.” Chu Xiang said confidently, “As long as you dissolve it in water and give it to Jingjing to drink, her illness will be cured.”
"Hurry up, Jingjing has been burning up for so long." Li Lan made up her mind. Her daughter was delirious with fever, and in her desperation, she was willing to try anything. She couldn't care less about anything else.
Besides, she felt that Chu Xiang had always been reliable, and since he was pursuing her daughter, he certainly wouldn't do anything reckless.
They dissolved the pill in water, helped the unconscious Chen Jing up, and fed her the bowl of water containing the dissolved Soul-Locking Pill.
