Chapter 377: The Fang Family Seeks Someone to Test the Medicine, the Whole Family Shocked

Zhu Lao left, walking as if he'd gone mad, laughing wildly, always bent over as he walked, as if hiding some incredible treasure in his bosom; after a few steps he'd look left and right, checking if anyone nearby coveted him.

No choice—after taking the Jade Marrow Pill, he soon discovered his body miraculously filled with vigor.

Moreover, as one ages there's always some inability to keep up; even with superb medical skill, the normal aging unrelated to illness is unavoidable.

Thus Zhu Zhen Guo clearly knew his body: overall no illness, but it was definitely deteriorating year by year.

Especially regarding stamina, being a physician himself, he could directly feel it.

But after taking the Jade Marrow Pill, that feeling of aging on his body disappeared by more than half, and he suddenly felt much younger.

Zhu Zhen Guo immediately took his own pulse just then, and was genuinely startled.

His bodily functions were visibly strengthened!

Moreover, it wasn't an illusion based on premature overdraft, but a genuine strengthening!

So Zhu Zhen Guo on the spot gave Lin Meng twenty million and begged to buy five more, totaling one hundred million!

However Zhu Zhen Guo didn't have that much money, so Lin Meng allowed him to buy on credit.

Surely, as a renowned Divine Doctor and someone sent by Chairman Yang, Zhu Zhen Guo wouldn't renege.

The Fang Family was meanwhile testing the efficacy of the Nourishing Origin Pill.

The patient was likewise a noble lady from the capital circle; after her miscarriage her body had remained difficult to nourish—strong tonics harmed her, mild ones did nothing, and after half a year of back‑and‑forth she was still sallow‑skinned and frail.

"Lady Wang, the Fang Family has recently obtained a medicine that can supplement qi and blood; we've studied it, and your daughter's condition is suitable for it—would you like to give it a try?"

One of the Fang Family made the suggestion, but Lady Wang turned to Fang Fang and couldn't help speaking.

"Divine Doctor Fang, is this medicine something your Fang Family developed? Can it really improve my daughter's condition? My daughter truly can't endure any more torment."

Lady Wang said this and her eyes reddened.

Renowned doctors both domestic and foreign had already examined her, but the effect was minimal.

Several Divine Doctors said her daughter's fundamental vitality had been damaged by the miscarriage—it wasn't a simple matter of life, and it was hard to regulate.

Even after several months of treatment at the Fang Family, the effect remained minimal.

The Fang Family suddenly brought up the medicine, guessing it wasn't their own pill; otherwise they would have produced it earlier.

Fang Fang hearing this indeed sighed and spoke frankly:

"The medicine is indeed not our Fang Family's, but it won't harm your daughter's body—you can try it; otherwise there's no better option."

Lady Wang was still hesitating when the woman leaning against her suddenly opened her eyes, her voice soft but tinged with unwillingness to yield.

"I'll try it, Mom—anyway I'm already like this, just let me give it a go."

Li Huanhuan rose, took the medicine, and swallowed it without hesitation.

Although the Nourishing Origin Pill was somewhat bitter, it made Li Huanhuan feel the medicine was like candy, tasting far better than the drugs she'd taken before.

Everyone stared fixedly at Li Huanhuan, especially the Fang Family members, whose anxiety was no less than Lady Wang's.

Fang Fang had even placed a hand on Li Huanhuan's pulse, ready to check her pulse at any moment.

One minute, two minutes… five minutes passed, and nothing seemed to happen.

Fang Fang curled the hand that had been on the pulse, slowly released it, shook her head, and muttered to herself.

What was she expecting? Even though she was called a Divine Doctor and had done some research on pharmaceutics, why would she think this pill would take effect instantly?

In this world there simply is no medicine that works instantly.

Other Fang Family members also suggested:

"Miss Li, why not stay at our Fang Family today? That would make it convenient for us to monitor her bodily reactions at any time."

Lady Wang was about to nod when she suddenly noticed her daughter's complexion didn't look as deathly pale.

She jumped up in surprise.

"Divine Doctor Fang, quickly check Huanhuan—has her complexion improved a bit compared to just now?"

As Lady Wang finished speaking, the Fang Family also saw Li Huanhuan's condition.

A face that had been completely bloodless now showed a hint of pinkish color.

Lips that had long been dull and pale were slowly regaining color.

Li Huanhuan's eyes suddenly lit up; sitting, she felt she had the strength to straighten her back.

"Mom, I really do feel energetic now—I have strength right now!"

Fang Fang was greatly startled and immediately took Li Huanhuan's pulse.

In less than seven or eight minutes, Li Huanhuan's pulse had undergone a huge change!

"Family Head, how is it?"

"Divine Doctor Fang, is my daughter healed?"

Fang Fang's expression turned solemn; she then moved her hand from the pulse with a shocked look, unable to calm down for a moment.

Until several Fang Family members came forward one after another to take the pulse, exclamations ringing out continuously, did Fang Fang finally come to her senses.

The Fang Family members successively diagnosed that Li Huanhuan's condition had greatly improved, her damaged body having been repaired by more than half, and her qi and blood suddenly became abundant.

"Family Head, where exactly did you obtain this medicine? It's truly not simple!"

"Calling this medicine a Divine Pill is no exaggeration; Family Head, if you can still acquire it, you must buy a few more—we must figure out how to make it!"

The Fang Family members had already begun chattering about future plans, while Lady Wang paced anxiously nearby.

"Divine Doctor Fang, how is my daughter doing?"

Lady Wang's voice brought Fang Fang back to her senses, and she hurriedly said to Lady Wang:

"Congratulations, Lady Wang—your daughter's condition has greatly improved, her qi and blood have been replenished; with subsequent acupuncture and herbal decoctions, she will surely recover fully."

Upon hearing this, Lady Wang was greatly startled, then overjoyed.

She turned her head again to look at her daughter's complexion; Li Huanhuan now completely lacked the sickly look, her spirit and vigor improved by leaps and bounds.

"Mom, I really don't feel tired at all—I'm full of energy, just terribly hungry; Mom, I want to eat rice!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Wang burst into tears, streaming down uncontrollably.

Her daughter hadn't complained of hunger for a long time; her weakened body was accompanied by loss of appetite, her digestive function had become poor, she couldn't digest anything well, resulting in frequent need for nutrient injections to sustain bodily functions.

Now this is good—her daughter saying she's hungry definitely means she's truly improving!

"No way, our Huanhuan probably can't take herbal decoctions; can we continue with that kind of elixir for the treatment? No matter the cost, our Wang family is willing to pay!"

Madam Wang isn't foolish—such a fine elixir truly works like a life‑saving immortal pill; her daughter takes one and her condition improves greatly.

If she takes another dose, she'll surely get better faster, so naturally we don't want her to suffer through acupuncture and herbal decoctions again.

Li Huanhuan also nodded vigorously.

"Divine Doctor Fang, I feel my body responds best to that elixir just now; long‑term drinking of herbal decoctions has made me somewhat nauseous—I want to vomit after each sip—so I'd rather take the elixir!"
