Chapter 64: One of the top medicinal herbs

~7 min read 1,324 words

But soon, these doubts gradually disappeared, because everyone remembered the scene of the Prefect Ma video calling Xu Yixian before the auction started.

Could Lin Yu really be... Xu Yixian's senior brother?

Just as everyone was confused in their hearts, Hua Weirui opened his mouth weakly: "Lin Yu, you kid came without telling me..."

His eyes were full of love when looking at Lin Yu.

Lin Yu responded respectfully: "Grandpa Hua, your body is very weak; don't talk anymore, rest well."

Hua Weirui wanted to say something, but just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a dull pain in his chest, couldn't say a word, and then fainted.

Hua Weixin, Hua Qianyu, and Hua Yan hurriedly surrounded the hospital bed, while Lin Yu took out silver needles to perform emergency treatment without changing his expression.

A few minutes later, he said to Hua Weixin: "President Hua, the old man is temporarily out of danger, and the Life-Prolonging Pill has bought three days of time."

At this moment, Hua Yan was furious, feeling that ten billion only bought his grandfather three days of life. He ignored Lin Yu's words and turned to question Tamamo Emi.

In the astonished gazes of everyone, President Tamamo Emi was caught off guard by Lin Yu's victory.

Originally thinking he could easily win the Life-Prolonging Pill auction, he didn't expect things to be completely out of his control.

"I didn't expect it to be like this," Tamamo Emi thought to himself, "Ten years of life extension is not letting a person linger in a vegetative state."

Facing Lin Yu's indifferent smile, he said helplessly: "It seems you won this time; you don't have to pay for the Life-Prolonging Pill."

However, the unwillingness in his heart almost made him bite his teeth off.

In order to cooperate and raise funds this time, he had already put in too much effort.

"The auction will continue in half an hour." After speaking, he hurried away, wanting to hide his disappointment.

Hua Weixin was furious, but he knew that saying anything now would be of no avail.

Lin Yu walked toward Hua Weixin and whispered a few key words. Instantly, a light of hope flashed in Hua Weixin's eyes.

"Really?" he asked eagerly.

Lin Yu nodded firmly: "Bid for those medicines, and your father can still be saved."

Just at this time, a woman named Chu Yueyun took the initiative to approach Lin Yu and ask for help.

She explained that she had encountered a strange illness, as if she had been cursed by someone.

After a careful examination, Lin Yu was surprised to find that her symptoms were indeed unusual, with her arms covered in bruises and signs of ulceration, and even marks of strangulation on her neck.

"Every night I have nightmares, and someone keeps hitting me. After waking up, these injuries appear on my body."

Chu Yueyun described, her voice full of fear.

Lin Yu felt that this matter was of great importance and decided to investigate this mysterious illness thoroughly to find a cure.

Chu Yueyun looked at the surprised Lin Yu and smiled bitterly, saying: "My room has surveillance, and the first thing I do every time I wake up is to check, confirming that no one has entered."

Lin Yu fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he said seriously: "Your illness cannot be cured by medicine. After the auction ends, please come to Zhongcaotang on Miao Street to find me; I can help you."

"This is impossible; how can President Chu's illness be cured without relying on medicine?" As soon as the words fell, an old man with white hair and a deep smile approached.

The old man introduced himself proudly: "I am Tanaka Yu, the top pharmacist in the Hanfang pharmaceutical industry." 【64-31

Afterward, he handed Chu Yueyun a prescription and apologized: "I didn't expect the Life-Prolonging Pill to have issues, so I have prepared a new prescription for President Chu. As long as these medicinal herbs can be auctioned, I have a way to treat your illness."

After speaking, Tanaka looked provocatively at Lin Yu and asked: "You must be Lin Yu, right? Can you understand this prescription?"

Lin Yu glanced at the prescription, his brows furrowing slightly. Whether in traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, the key lies in prescribing the right medicine for the symptoms.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes individual differences, known as "a thousand people, a thousand prescriptions."

However, what Tanaka provided was merely a mild tonic formula, which seemed somewhat inappropriate.

Lin Yu suspected that Tanaka's intention was to induce Chu Yueyun to purchase those so-called medicinal herbs.

But he did not expose him, only shaking his head and saying: "I really cannot see your intention."

Tanaka smiled triumphantly: "That's right, because your traditional Chinese medicine has been lost; only the Neon Country has preserved the most authentic Chinese medicine prescriptions, so it is normal that you cannot understand it."

Lin Yu did not refute him, while Chu Yueyun responded respectfully: "Master Tanaka, please rest assured, I will do my best to collect all the medicinal herbs."

Tanaka said goodbye with a full face of smiles, "Then I will look forward to your good news; farewell."

After Tanaka left, Chu Yueyun returned to the auction hall.

At this time, Zheng Zemin came over to express his gratitude to Lin Yu, but finally said worriedly: "My time is running out; can Master Lin save my life?"

"Of course I can." Lin Yu confidently picked up the auction catalog and said: "All the medicinal herbs needed to make the Life-Prolonging Pill are in this auction; you just need to bid for them."

"Indeed."

Meanwhile, upstairs in the auction hall, Tamamo Emi was talking with Tanaka Yu.

Tanaka Yu said with a smile: "Although there were some issues with the Life-Prolonging Pill, the premium medicinal herbs we brought this time will definitely sell for a good price, enough to raise the funds needed for the cooperation with the Zhang Clan."

Emi smiled slightly and replied: "I hope everything goes smoothly and there are no more mistakes."

Tanaka Yu laughed contemptuously, "Don't worry, there is no real traditional Chinese medicine left in Huaxia now; they have never even seen these medicinal herbs."

Emi said proudly: "The 'Illustrated Record of Spirit Herbs' left by my father records the planting methods for thousands of herbs. Now no one in Huaxia knows how to plant these precious herbs; only our group can cultivate them."

At this time, a tall, thin man named Shutun Jiulangzi walked in and asked Emi respectfully, "President, can the auction restart?"

"Of course, let's go." After Tamamo Emi finished speaking, she walked toward the venue first.

This time, she did not go on stage but observed the auction process from below.

On stage, the auctioneer was introducing the items to be auctioned: "Next to be auctioned are the medicinal herbs provided by the Hanfang Group; we can process them into medicine for everyone for free."

Then, the auctioneer displayed a crystal-clear ginseng and explained: "This is a rare Crystal Ginseng from the peak of the snow mountain, with a hundred years of age; it is one of the top medicinal herbs treasured by Hanfang Pharmaceutical.

Its efficacy is unique; the starting price is five hundred thousand, and each increment must be no less than fifty thousand."

With the sound of the auctioneer's hammer, someone immediately raised a paddle to bid.

The auctioneer announced, "Bidder number seven, bid five hundred and fifty thousand..." However, the scene then fell into a deathly silence.

Seeing that no one continued to bid, Tamamo Emi's face became very ugly.

In their view, this Crystal Ginseng was worth at least five million or more.

Finally, after obtaining Tamamo Emi's consent, the auctioneer dropped the hammer, "Congratulations to bidder number seven for successfully winning the Crystal Ginseng at the price of five hundred and fifty thousand."
