Chapter 323 A Treasure That Is Rare and Hard to Find
"Originally, I planned to cooperate with you to sell poison, but considering that you are pregnant and that contact with those toxic herbs would affect the health of the fetus, I reluctantly gave up the baby medicine formula and gave it to you."
Moreover, once you've concocted these medicines, you can use them for free for your unborn baby, and selling some of them can earn you more money for baby formula. It's a win-win situation, right?
"Look, where else can you find a partner as considerate, thoughtful, and generous as me?" Bo Yiyan said, blinking his innocent eyes.
Left fan: Here we go again!
This person really loves to perform face-changing acts. Every time she sees him, he can conjure up a completely new aura. If she hadn't seen through his dark nature early on, she probably would have thought he was a great philanthropist.
"Then can you tell me how much each bottle of these medicines can sell for?" Zuo Shan asked. She was the "second" in the 20/80 split, and it wouldn't be worth it if the money was too little.
"This kind of potion that can increase the probability of natural awakening must be priced at tens of millions at the start of the auction. I will release no more than ten doses to the market each year. Without a hundred million, it is definitely impossible to get even one dose," Bo Yiyan said casually.
Seeing him talk about 100 million so casually, Zuo Shan felt that this guy must be at least a billionaire.
"They're already so rich, how can they be so ruthless in exploiting a pregnant woman like me?" Zuo Shan gritted her teeth.
"Hey? Don't you know that behind every huge fortune lies bloodshed and brutality?"
People like me, who earn money honestly and cleanly, are hard to find even with a lantern.
It's just exploiting a little of your labor, what's wrong with that?
Besides, if you list the same medicine under your own name, let alone hundreds of millions, no one would buy it for even a million. Do you believe that?
"I believe you! I'm willing to be exploited by you, okay?" Zuo Shan said in despair.
"Haha, that's right! When the baby is born, I'll definitely give her a big red envelope, provided she's a sweet and soft girl." Bo laughed heartily.
During this time, whenever they talked about the baby in her womb, they automatically assumed that she was a girl.
Zuo Shan felt it was understandable that she liked girls, after all, A Chen was a naughty boy, and of course she wanted a daughter for her second child.
Why does Ke Boya not like baby boys?
However, Zuo Shan didn't care about that. Now that she had obtained new potion formulas, she only wanted to prepare these new potions as soon as possible.
The potion formula that Bo Yiyan gave this time was more difficult to make than those poison formulas, but because the medicinal materials used were all non-toxic, there was no need to worry about contaminating them with toxins when processing them, so he was not too restricted.
Having already prepared the fourteen poisons, Zuo Shan was able to successfully prepare the first one of the new formulas, even though it was more difficult. He did so on the tenth day after he got his hands on it.
Judging by the time, she should be able to prepare these 30 kinds of medicines for her by hand before the baby grows up.
Zuo Shan still maintains her frequency of prenatal checkups every five days, leaving Bo Yiyan speechless.
Fortunately, during her fifth prenatal checkup, she brought the first bottle of successfully prepared medicine. Bo Yiyan tested the quality of the medicine, and it was, as always, a top-quality product.
This is one of the reasons why he has always been optimistic about her. She always strives for perfection in the medicines she prepares. Any medicine that does not meet the standards of a superior product will be stored separately as waste and will never be used for his testing.
Given her personality, if she really becomes a pharmacist in the future, she will probably be just like him, and will never sell any medicine below the superior grade.
Initially, I was only touched by her maternal glow when I saw her going to the library late at night to look up books on detoxification for her son, so I casually gave her a document called "Fighting Poison with Poison".
In fact, at that time he did not expect her to be able to concoct all fourteen kinds of poisons, not even one.
After all, concocting potions requires talent and comprehension. Moreover, her superpower attributes are not wood, water, or fire, nor are they poison-based. It would be almost impossible for her to concoct his own formula.
He simply wanted her to immerse herself in the process of working hard for her son, so that she could enjoy the satisfaction of giving her all for her loved ones.
But as it turned out, he had greatly underestimated her. In just five months, she had concocted fourteen kinds of poisons. Her talent was almost on par with his, the most recognized pharmacist of this generation on Green Algae Star.
That's why he casually found an excuse to send her the second medicine formula. After all, he had told himself that if she could concoct the most difficult of the fourteen poisons, herbicide, within four years, he would make an exception and take her as his apprentice.
In fact, what he is doing now is equivalent to what a master would do: giving her his own self-created potion formula. Many masters might not be willing to do such a thing.
However, he was unwilling to establish a master-disciple relationship with her openly, and he himself couldn't explain why, so he used the excuse of making money together.
In reality, he didn't need her meager allowance at all; he just... didn't want her to overthink it.
Zuo Shan seemed to be in a good mood today. After finishing the test, Bo Yiyan casually asked, "Is there any good news?"
"We've successfully prepared the first potion today. Isn't that something to be happy about?" Zuo Shan said.
“When you concoct a new potion, you’ll only be excited, you’ll never be smiling so sweetly,” Bo said.
"Haha, it seems you not only have excellent medical skills, but also extremely keen observation skills. He sent me a message last night saying he'll be back on his next day off," Zuo Shan said frankly.
"So you were happy and completed the new formula?" Bo Yiyan said jokingly.
“That’s right. Although I’m very focused when I’m preparing medicines, I do get twice the results with half the effort when I’m in a good mood, and it’s easier to succeed,” Zuo Shan said.
"You... love him that much? Even if he refuses to give you the title of Mrs. Lan Dun, you have no regrets?" Bo Yiyan finally asked the question he had always wanted to ask.
"Who told you that he refused to give me a formal title?" Zuo Shan asked.
"Is it because you don't want to get married?" Bo Yiyan was even more surprised.
“That’s right. I don’t want to be the matriarch of a powerful family. There would be countless troubles waiting for me to deal with. I’m not good at interpersonal relationships, so it’s better to maintain a low-key relationship like we are now,” Zuo Shan said.
"I see," Bo Yiyan said, somewhat lost in thought.
She doesn't even care about the position of the young mistress of Lan Dun, so she probably wouldn't care about formally becoming his disciple, Bo Yiyan's disciple either.
It seems that he and she are indeed of one mind.
Even after she took her leave, leaving only her faint fragrance in the air, he remained lost in thought.
"Ah Le, when you grow up, which powerful family's heir do you want to marry?"
"I don't want any of them. Being the mistress of the family is too troublesome. I have to deal with so many wives and young ladies from both the main and collateral branches, befriend the wives and young ladies from other great families, and manage a huge number of servants in the house. Just thinking about it makes me feel hopeless!"
"Alright, if Ah Le doesn't want any trouble, then wait until your brother becomes the head of the family. You can just stay at home and not have to worry about anything, Ah Le."
...
The past is like smoke, but at this moment it is playing back clearly before his eyes.
Twenty years have passed, and the memories of his younger sister, Ah Le, have become somewhat blurred in his mind. Unexpectedly, her appearance has brought these memories back to life.
Twenty years later, he met another woman who looked so much like Ah Le. She was completely different from Ah Le; she wasn't beautiful or glamorous enough, and she didn't have Ah Le's captivating charm.
He had never understood what Modi saw in her before, but now he finally understood: he liked her authenticity.
She lacked the timidity and inferiority complex often associated with those from rural backgrounds, as well as the arrogant haughtiness of socialites from aristocratic families.
She enjoys making money but doesn't care about fame. She would rather be a tutor than the young mistress of the Lan Dun family. This alone makes her stand out from all the young ladies from prominent families in the central district.
Such a woman is a rare gem, so why didn't he meet her seven years ago?
For the first time in his life, he felt jealous of that brat, Modi.
Before this, he had always thought that he was just a martial artist who was stronger than him.
