The white-bearded old man took out a pill, examined it carefully, then smelled it, licked the finger that had held the pill, and frowned as he pondered deeply.
"You put ambergris in this medicine?" The white-bearded old man was very shocked.
Xu Xinning wasn't surprised that the white-bearded old man could taste the ambergris in the drink, but this medicine wasn't easy to find on the market.
But Xu Xinning's intuition told her that the white-bearded old man might have some treasures.
Although ambergris is precious, Xu Xinning, who owns Medicine King Valley, has quite a lot of it.
In her previous life, her mother had specially raised sperm whales for this ambergris. But things are different now. Not only are there not many sperm whales, but it is also extremely difficult to obtain the ambergris that is naturally excreted from their bellies.
Xu Xinning guessed correctly. The white-bearded old man's ancestors had passed down a piece of ambergris, but by the time it reached the old man's hands, it had become very small.
Everyone knows that ambergris is precious, so he was so surprised when he found out that ambergris was put in the medicine, after all, Xu Xinning still looks like a child.
Xu Xinning replied calmly, "Yes!"
The white-bearded old man looked at Xu Xinning as if she were a monster. What made the old man even more embarrassed was that he could only guess the general ingredients in the medicine, and there were some that he couldn't figure out at all.
But medical enthusiasts are not afraid of losing face; asking questions when they don't know is their fine tradition.
The white-bearded old man asked, "Besides ambergris, what else did you use in this?"
Xu Xinning: "It's pretty ordinary. I just used some dragon's blood, ginseng leaves that are over 500 years old, and the juice of ginseng that is over 1,000 years old..."
The white-bearded old man shut up. This little girl said all these rare medicinal herbs were just ordinary. Was her mouth blessed?
The old man took the medicine from the white-bearded old man, took out one pill and put it in his mouth. He felt that seeing the white-bearded old man's frustrated expression made the medicine and food quite appetizing.
After the old men, including Xu Xinning, took the medicine, they went behind him and used the techniques left by the Ghost Doctor to help the medicine be absorbed well. Then they took out silver needles and quickly inserted them.
To the old man's surprise once again, Xu Xinning administered a tremor needle.
Moreover, Xu Xinning's acupuncture points are very tricky.
Now the white-bearded old man was truly impressed by Xu Xinning. At such a young age, she not only applied pharmacology well, but was also so familiar with acupoints, and even knew how to use such a difficult trembling needle technique.
To be honest, even the old man with the white beard couldn't use this trembling needle properly. I'm not exaggerating, but I estimate that there are very few people in China who can use this trembling needle properly right now.
What's amazing is that the old man's complexion visibly improved not long afterward.
After the acupuncture was removed, the old man felt completely comfortable; he hadn't felt this comfortable in many years.
He originally used Xu Xinning as a last resort, feeling that his days were numbered. Old Master Mu was a close friend of his, so he thought it would be good to give him face and let the younger generation practice. He never expected it to have such an unexpected effect.
The old man looked at Xu Xinning with great satisfaction, thinking, "The younger generation is truly formidable!"
Xu Xinning hadn't been this stressed in a long time. The whole process left her drenched in sweat. It was because her internal strength in this life was lacking. If it were her previous life, treating a patient like this would have been a piece of cake for her.
Grandpa Mu was actually under a lot of pressure. Letting Xu Xinning treat the old man meant he had a heavy responsibility. If she cured him well, he might not get any credit, but if she cured him badly, it could be fatal. But Grandpa Mu inexplicably trusted Xu Xinning. He felt that she wasn't the kind of person who would make empty promises.
As it turns out, Mr. Mu was right.
The old man glanced at Xu Xinning, whose head was covered in sweat, and asked someone to stir up a hot towel to wipe her sweat.
The old man personally poured Xu Xinning a glass of water and said to Grandpa Mu with a smile, "Your second son has good taste. He managed to settle on such a good wife so early. Otherwise, I would definitely have my sons compete with him for her."
Mu saw his grandfather laugh heartily: "Don't let that kid know you have this idea, otherwise his stubborn temper will make him hide you away."
The old man smiled happily: "If this is something this lad would do, then no, my health still needs this young friend to take care of it!"
The white-bearded old man also came up and asked, "Young lady, do you take on apprentices?"
The old man laughed even harder: "Ouyang, do you want your sons to become apprentices?"
The white-bearded old man shook his head vigorously, like a rattle drum, and said earnestly, "I would like to become this young friend's apprentice."
Xu Xinning wanted to roll her eyes. Why was another old rascal showing up?
Seeing that Xu Xinning didn't react, the white-bearded old man shamelessly looked at her with a sincere expression and said, "Can I become your apprentice?"
Alright! I've come to your aid now.
Grandpa Mu immediately stopped him, saying, "Ouyang, don't frighten the child. If you really mean it, you can come home and discuss it with the child when you have time."
The white-bearded old man nodded vigorously, immediately replying happily, "Sure, sure, sure!"
The old man was very busy. Now that he felt better, he was even more eager to handle his official business. Before leaving, he made an appointment with Xu Xinning for his next acupuncture session and gave Grandpa Mu a note.
Xu Xinning didn't care what the old man's note to Grandpa Mu was. It wasn't until Grandpa Mu handed the note to Xu Xinning when they got in the car that she realized it was the note from Mu Zhenting, who had secured a share of the profits from the medicines for her.
This seemingly insignificant approval document sealed Xu Xinning's place in the pharmaceutical industry and ensured her income reached a level that others could only dream of.
Grandpa Mu clicked his tongue in amazement. It seemed that his second son would have to work harder, otherwise he would be unable to catch up with his daughter-in-law, which would be a huge loss of face.
Grandpa Mu knew his grandson well; he wasn't the type to live off a woman.
Grandpa Mu now felt that Mu Jingheng's trip to the countryside was worthwhile; otherwise, how could he have met such a wonderful granddaughter-in-law?
I never imagined that my grandson, whom I used to worry about the most, would now be the one I need to worry about the least.
Life is unpredictable!
Before the car even reached the military compound, it was unexpectedly stopped halfway by a foreigner.
Grandpa Mu had someone get out of the car to ask, and only then did he learn that the man was looking for someone. He stopped the car because he remembered that the person he was looking for had ridden in this car before.
Xu Xinning stuck her head out to watch the commotion, and unexpectedly met William's gaze.
William was overjoyed to see Xu Xinning; he had finally found her, and he had been restless these past few days.
If Xu Xinning hadn't seen William here, she would have almost forgotten about this blond-haired monster.
William ran over excitedly: "Madam, beautiful lady, I've finally found you! Oh God, this is wonderful!"
Xu Xinning disliked this blond-haired guy who always called himself God. Couldn't she be a Bodhisattva instead of God? Shouldn't she at least adapt to local customs?
