Chapter 951 Qi Mu Medicine (Part 2)
Yue Xiong was just an ordinary person. He rarely came across the term "mental power" from the ancient martial arts world and had only heard of it a few times recently.
"Miss Ruan, are you talking about the kind of spiritual power that you ancient warriors cultivate?"
"Yes," Ruan Qi explained carefully, "In fact, everyone has spiritual power, but those who have not practiced ancient martial arts have very weak spiritual power and don't use it in daily life. But ancient martial artists are different. Cultivating spiritual power is a very important part of ancient martial arts practice. Our spiritual power is very strong, but at the same time, it is very vulnerable. In the past, when ancient martial arts were popular, the ancient martial arts community developed many drugs to combat those with strong spiritual power. These drugs are called spiritual power drugs."
Ruan Qi's explanation was very easy to understand, and Yue Xiong vaguely understood: "You mean to say that the poison 'Nightmare' and the poison recipe 'Nightmare' are both drugs that specialize in treating mental power?"
Ruan Qi: "Yes. Mental power drugs are very unique in the ancient martial arts world. Their purpose is to destroy mental power. To break it, we must develop an antidote that can repair mental power. And repairing mental power can only be done by ancient martial artists using their internal energy and sea of consciousness. Ordinary people cannot do it. Team Leader Yue, do you understand my explanation?"
Yue Xiong understood.
Ordinary people's mental power is very weak, and they have no ability to repair their mental power.
Restoring mental strength is something only ancient warriors can do.
In other words, the antidote developed by Ruan Qi and Nie Beilou cannot be mass-produced by ordinary people. Only ancient warriors with internal energy and powerful sea of consciousness can make it.
Yue Xiong's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
"...So, this antidote can't be mass-produced? Then what about the victims of poisoning?" Yue Xiong's face turned pale. "Miss Ruan, how many ancient martial artists are there in the ancient martial arts world? Can I ask them to help develop an antidote?"
"I'm afraid not." Ruan Qi spread his hands helplessly. "Times have changed. It's no longer an age of violence. People rely on high technology, and fewer and fewer people practice ancient martial arts. In order to preserve their heritage, those ancient martial arts families and sects have basically gone into seclusion, making them difficult to hire. Moreover, making an antidote requires not only ancient martial arts skills, but also proficiency in medicine. Most ancient martial arts families can't do this."
Ruan Qi was telling the truth.
Today is an age of technology, and ancient martial arts are declining. In order to preserve their heritage, most ancient martial arts families hide in downtown areas and no longer reveal their identities.
Except for top families like the Xi family, most of the ancient martial arts families have disappeared. Not to mention Ruan Qi, even Nie Beilou finds it difficult to find them.
Moreover, refining the antidote not only requires mental strength and internal energy, but also requires superb and proficient medical skills. This alone is enough to pass 90% of the ancient martial arts families, and even the Xi family does not meet the requirements.
After Yue Xiong heard Ruan Qi talk about the current situation in the ancient martial arts world, his heart sank.
"What should I do..." He said with a look of despair, "There are so few ancient martial artists proficient in medicine, but there are tens of thousands of victims of poisoning. With so many antidotes, it will take forever to refine them..."
Ten minutes ago, Yue Xiong was crying with joy, but now, ten minutes later, his joy turned into sorrow.
Yue Xiong raised his head sadly, looking at Ruan Qi and Nie Beilou with red eyes.
"Mr. Beilou, Ms. Ruan, you are so powerful, there must be a way, right? By the way... Miss Ruan, how many people are there in your sect? Can you ask them to come out and help make the antidote? I can pay you, any amount is fine!"
How many people can there be in a sect?
At most, there are only a few hundred people.
How many antidotes can hundreds of people make in a day?
At most, there are only a few thousand.
A few thousand antidotes might sound like a lot, but compared to the tens of thousands of people poisoned, this number is far too small.
Yue Xiong also knew that his request was unreasonable, but he really had no other choice.
He looked at Ruan Qi with a pleading expression.
Ruan Qi thought for a moment and said to him, "Team Leader Yue, I actually have a solution."
"Ms. Ruan, please speak!" Yue Xiong said hurriedly.
Ruan Qi: "Team Leader Yue, I wonder if you've heard of Qi Mu medicine?"
Yue Xiong was stunned and said hesitantly, "Are you talking about the Daxian store that developed so many magical pills?"
Yue Xiong is an expert in the medical field and he will be the first to pay attention to any news in the industry.
Yue Xiong had naturally heard of Qi Mu Pharmacy and Da Xian Specialty Store, two magical places. Not only had he heard of them, he had also paid special attention to them for a while.
The more Yue Xiong paid attention to the results, the more he felt that this Qi Mu medicine was truly amazing.
The medicines developed by this company were so perfect in both formula and efficacy that even he, a man with nearly twenty years of medical experience, had to admit he was better than his predecessor.
Yue Xiong has always wanted to know what kind of person could develop these prescriptions, and even wanted to get to know him.
But he was too busy with work, and the boss behind Qi Mu Pharmaceutical was too mysterious, so the matter was unfortunately shelved.
But he didn't expect that today, Yue Xiong would hear the name of this company again from Ruan Qi.
He couldn't help but say a few more words: "Qimu Pharmaceutical is now a well-known pharmaceutical brand in the industry. I bought some of their medicines and studied them. They are really amazing, and the combination of drug ingredients is very clever. I learned a lot from them. Why did Miss Ruan suddenly mention it?"
Yue Xiong looked confused.
Ruan Qi smiled and said slowly: "Because the boss of Qimu Pharmaceutical is me."
Yue Xiong:? ? ?
Yue Xiong became stunned for a second.
He was stunned for a while, thinking there was something wrong with his ears: "Miss Ruan, what did you just say?"
"I said, I am the boss of Qimu Pharmaceutical." Ruan Qi said it again in a very good-tempered manner.
Yue Xiong:...? ? ?
Yue Xiong rubbed his ears stupidly, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong with his hearing, his eyes gradually widened.
"The boss of Qi Mu Pharmaceutical... is you?! How is this possible?!"
Nothing is impossible.
Qi Mu and Ruan Qi both have the character Qi in them...so the Qi in Qi Mu is the same as the Qi in Ruan Qi!
Yue Xiong finally figured it out and was completely dumbfounded.
He stared at Ruan Qi in a daze, unable to believe that the boss of Qi Mu, who developed all kinds of magical little pills, was such a young girl.
Seeing him stunned, Ruan Qi smiled and whispered, "I am indeed the owner of Qimu Pharmaceutical, and I developed those small pills myself. Team Leader Yue, the reason I revealed my identity to you is because I want to use Qimu Pharmaceutical's factory to mass-produce the antidote for nightmares."
Originally, Ruan Qi hadn't wanted to use Qi Mu to produce the antidote. Cheng's poisoning was a crisis for the entire nation, and it was rightfully the government's responsibility to save it. Ruan Qi didn't want to profit from the common people, nor did he want to take credit for being the savior.
However, the antidote to nightmares is a psychotropic drug, which ordinary people cannot mass-produce. Furthermore, there are not many ancient warriors proficient in medicine, and there is no way to mass-produce the antidote in a short period of time.
In this situation, Ruan Qi can no longer hide her shortcomings.
