Chapter 63

Ye Elder took the small porcelain bottle, the round pill rolled into his palm, and soon a fragrance wafted out.

Ye Chenyu was anxious and angry.

"Grandfather, you won't really eat this, will you? This looks like a scam at first glance."

Ye Elder stared at the pill in his palm, feeling that this pill was not ordinary.

At least compared to the pills those old-timers begged for, this pill given by Lin girl indeed has a strong medicinal aroma; perhaps it really works.

"Chenyu, Grandfather is already like this; even if he went abroad now he'd likely die on the way, so it's better to try this pill."

Ye Xiangrong finished speaking, disregarding his grandson's obstruction, and swallowed the Jade Marrow Pill without hesitation.

Ye Chenyu instantly panicked, tugging at his own hair as he quickly ran out.

"Brother, come quickly, something's wrong, something's wrong—Lin Meng fed Grandfather a pill, something big is going to happen!"

Lin Meng pursed her lips, shaking her head at this troublesome second son of the Ye Family.

How can the difference be so great for a child born of a mother?

Lin Meng didn't care about Ye Chenyu's side; she focused on the elder, and seeing him swallow the pill, she asked concernedly:

"How do you feel?"

Ye Xiangrong didn't look at her, only carefully feeling the pill melt in his mouth upon entry, then smoothly flow into his stomach.

So-called "pill melts upon entry" is exactly like this.

Just then, a group of people rushed in noisily; Ye Chenyu, as if he had found his backbone, entered and put a big hat on Lin Meng.

"Brother, this woman wants to harm Grandfather; Grandfather has already swallowed the pill."

Ye Chenjing saw the small porcelain bottle still in the elder's hand, his pupils constricted instantly, and then he gazed at Lin Meng with piercing sharpness, as if he wanted to devour her on the spot.

The other's aura was intimidating, but Lin Meng was not cowed; she still had confidence in the Jade Marrow Pill.

The family doctor also gave Lin Meng a look of strong disapproval.

He took the small porcelain bottle from the elder's hand, brought it to his nose to sniff, and suddenly his eyes flickered.

Ye Chenjing gave Lin Meng's calm face a cold glance, shifted his gaze to the doctor, and asked in a suppressed, icy voice:

"Doctor Wang, how is it?"

Doctor Wang's medical skill is high; Ye Chenjing fully acknowledges him.

At this moment, Doctor Wang's face showed a hint of strangeness as he looked at Lin Meng.

"Where did you get this pill from?"

Lin Meng shook her head: "I cannot disclose the source, sorry."

Doctor Wang nodded, did not press further, and said to Ye Chenjing:

"General Manager Ye, the lingering scent in this bottle is not that of an inferior pill; on the contrary, it is a pill refined from precious medicinal materials. However, my research is superficial, so I cannot say exactly how."

Ye Chenjing couldn't help but relax upon hearing that.

Everyone's gaze fixed on Ye Xiangrong, who sat half-reclined on the sofa like an old monk in meditation, motionless, but his chest rose and fell steadily, with nothing amiss.

Lin Meng felt somewhat doubtful; when she had taken the Jade Marrow Pill, it had taken effect almost within a few breaths—truly a case of medicine curing illness instantly.

Five minutes had passed since Grandfather swallowed the pill, yet there was still no reaction.

Just then, Ye Elder suddenly sat up straight, his eyes slightly protruding.

Ye Chenyu: "Holy shit, Grandfather is going to mutate!"

Lin Meng: "..."

In a moment, the elder's originally ashen, bloodless face turned ruddy at a visible speed.

His complexion instantly revived, and even his stooped spine seemed to straighten a bit.

Ye Elder was now so excited and agitated he could not put it into words; he could only leap up, jumping three feet high in front of his two grandsons.

"Hahaha! I, the old man, suddenly feel spirited; I haven't felt this at ease in over ten years!"

The elder's vigorous, lively appearance was certainly not an act; everyone was shocked into speechlessness.

They watched, wide-eyed, as a dying old man with a deathly pale face instantly turned ruddy and sprang about energetically.

Such a miraculous scene could rightly be called a miracle.

Seeing this, Lin Meng also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately the Jade Marrow Pill didn't go wrong; after all, it's a specialty of the cultivation world. If it really failed, she dares to guarantee that Ye Chenjing would bury her alive on the spot.

"Truly a miracle, this is definitely a medical miracle, Elder Ye—please sit down quickly; I'll examine you right away."

Ye Xiangrong heard this and quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, yes—hurry and check, am I really healed?"

At this moment, both Ye Chenjing brothers held their breath nervously.

Doctor Wang began the examination, his brows gradually relaxing, moving from doubt to disbelief to astonishment; throughout the process he wondered whether all his years of medical study were actually real.

Finally, Doctor Wang couldn't help but give Lin Meng a deep look, then rose and said to Ye Chenjing:

"General Manager Ye, Elder Ye's body is indeed free of major issues, and I find that his various indicators, especially cardiopulmonary, are much stronger than before; his biological age seems to have dropped by over ten years all at once."

Doctor Wang is an authority; Ye Chenjing believes his words, and thus is even more shocked.

"Doctor Wang, is this real or fake? How could that pill be so miraculous? Could it not be that our old man is experiencing a terminal rally?"

"Slap!"

As soon as Ye Chenyu's words fell, he received a solid slap.

Ye Chenjing is half a head taller than him; at this moment he is giving him a cold, sideways glance.

"Have you been feeling itchy lately?"

Ye Chenyu gave a hard shiver, shrinking his neck and shaking his head.

"Sorry, brother, it was my foul mouth; I deserved that hit."

Ye Xiangrong, whom his own grandson had called a terminal rally, now stood up again.

He sensed the huge changes in his body, and while his heart was filled with emotion, he was also shocked to the point of not daring to think about it in detail.

Finally, his gaze was sincere, even carrying a hint of respect as he looked at Lin Meng.

"Lin girl, your pill must be extremely precious; I owe you a huge favor. Tell me what reward you want, and I'll satisfy you!"

Lin Meng's expression remained unchanged, but inside she was already overjoyed.

The old man does things properly, not taking advantage of her at all, but she also couldn't really ask for a lion's share.

As for the Jade Marrow Pill, to her it could be said to have been obtained effortlessly, with cost nearly zero.

In the world of cultivation, this is merely the lowest-grade entry-level pill.

But here, it is a precious elixir that money cannot buy.

Just as she was seriously calculating how much compensation to ask for, Ye Chenjing suddenly spoke.

"Miss Lin, thank you so much for taking out that pill to save my grandfather. One pill is fifty million; what do you think?"

Lin Meng was thinking in her mind, should she ask for five million? Or not be too greedy, just two or three million would do?

As a result, she heard Ye Chenjing casually throw fifty million at her.

She momentarily didn't know how to respond.

Could it be that rich people spend money like this?

Is spending fifty million on a pill as easy for him as spending five cents to buy an egg?

She swallowed, and fifty million beckoned to her.

"Then, that works? Fifty million…… just fifty million?"
