Chapter 17

"Allicin?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Tuo asked with a look of surprise and curiosity: "What is this? Could it be a divine medicine extracted from garlic? Does it really have such a good effect on lung disease?"

This kid always managed to bring him surprises.

"Indeed!"

Su Xuan nodded affirmatively: "Garlic itself possesses antibacterial and antiviral properties; allicin can be considered the essence of garlic! It is just a bit troublesome to extract, and it is not easy to preserve."

"If there are no issues, I shall begin the extraction now, striving to save Huang Xu as soon as possible. How about that?"

Su Xuan looked toward Huang Zhong as he finished speaking.

"This..."

Huang Zhong was still somewhat uneasy about Su Xuan's medical skills, so he couldn't help but look to Hua Tuo for verification: "What does the Divine Doctor think?"

"Rest assured!"

Hua Tuo nodded affirmatively, giving Huang Zhong peace of mind: "Su's medical skills have indeed surpassed my own! There will be no problems leaving it to him!"

"Besides, I will be watching from the side! There will be no issues!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhong finally felt at ease. He bowed to Su Xuan with an apologetic look: "Young Master, it was my rudeness! Please forgive me! I beg you to take action and save my son. I leave it in your hands!"

"Uncle Huang, please rise quickly!"

Su Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to help Huang Zhong up, patting his arm: "You and I are of the same clan and kin, there is no need for this. I will naturally save brother Huang Xu! Do not belittle me so!"

"No more talk, I shall go prepare the tools and medicine now!"

Hearing this, Huang Zhong was extremely moved and cupped his hands toward Su Xuan: "Young Master's kindness, Huang Zhong is deeply grateful. As long as Young Master can save my son, Huang Zhong is willing to serve you unto death."

In her previous letter, Su Mu had not only mentioned that Hua Tuo could save Huang Xu, but also implicitly expressed Su Xuan's intention to recruit Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong naturally understood.

Previously, he had been too preoccupied, but now that he saw hope for saving Huang Xu, Huang Zhong naturally could not pretend not to see it, and immediately began to state his position.

"Then Uncle Huang, just wait and come help me later! Haha!"

Su Xuan laughed and patted Huang Zhong on the shoulder, then immediately signaled to Hua Tuo and left Huang Zhong's home directly.

Extracting allicin required some professional tools, which Huang Zhong clearly did not have at home. Su Xuan had to go to the Su Family Chamber of Commerce in Wancheng to have them made temporarily.

As Wancheng was the capital of Nanyang, it was impossible for the Su Family Chamber of Commerce not to have a branch here.

Not only a branch, but even a portion of their workshops were located here.

This also made it convenient for Su Xuan to manufacture the tools for extracting allicin.

These were all situations Su Xuan had learned about over the past few days.

Since he was preparing to reform the Su Family Chamber of Commerce, he naturally had to understand the actual situation well.

Blindly messing around and engaging in remote micro-management would not work.

Half a day later,

Looking at the small bottle of allicin in Su Xuan's hand, Hua Tuo couldn't help but exclaim: "I didn't expect medicine could be made this way! Extracting the essence? However, are you certain this allicin really has miraculous effects on lung disease?"

"Hehe! Let us wait and see!"

Su Xuan smiled slightly. As he hurried toward Huang Zhong's house, he replied: "In fact, allicin not only has miraculous effects on pneumonia, but it is also the same for many other inflammations. If you are interested, Mr. Hua, you can study it in depth in the future."

If it weren't for the fact that time and conditions did not allow it, he would have even wanted to produce sulfonamides and penicillin.

As for the relevant production techniques and formulas?

He had already reconstructed and created them during the past few days while studying and researching medical arts.

Heaven-defying comprehension is truly awesome!

It gives one a feeling of being omnipotent.

"Oh?"

Hua Tuo was immediately surprised: "Then I must study it well when the time comes. You kid really know how to bring me surprises!"

He felt that taking this disciple was the right choice!

Although the two had not established a master-disciple relationship in the true sense, it was considered tacitly understood.

That day, Su Xuan had Huang Xu take the allicin. In less than an hour, the frequency of Huang Xu's coughing decreased.

By three days later, Huang Xu had stopped coughing entirely, and his pneumonia was almost healed. Combined with the medicine for his cold-related illness, his complexion had improved significantly.

"It is almost done! In another three or four days, he should be fully recovered! Uncle Huang can rest easy!"

After Su Xuan checked Huang Xu's condition again, he said to Huang Zhong with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhong was moved to tears.

Heaven knows what he had experienced over the past two years trying to cure Huang Xu's illness.

Think of him, an expert at the peak of the Gangjin Realm, only 36 years old, yet his temples were already gray. One must know that two years ago, this was not the case.

From this, one could tell just how much torment he had endured these past two years.

Fortunately, all the suffering was about to end.

His Xu'er was about to recover.

Immediately, Huang Zhong bowed deeply to Su Xuan and thanked him: "Huang Zhong thanks the Young Master for the grace of saving his life! I have nothing to repay you with; from now on, this life of mine belongs to the Young Master! Whatever you command, I dare not disobey!"

"Uncle Huang, please rise quickly!"

Seeing this, Su Xuan hurriedly helped Huang Zhong up and laughed heartily: "Haha! To gain your loyalty, Hansheng, I am overjoyed! This time, the goal has been perfectly achieved!"

"I only hope you don't think I am too utilitarian, Hansheng."

He did not hide or cover up, clearly stating that he had come for Huang Zhong himself from the very beginning.

"Not at all!"

Huang Zhong shook his head with a smile: "The Young Master is frank; how could Huang Zhong be someone who doesn't know what's good for him?"

"The Young Master owes me nothing; rather, it is I who owe the Young Master. I beg the Young Master not to speak like that."

All the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit.

There is no love without a reason, and there is no love without a reason.

Without a purpose, why would someone run over so eagerly to save his son?
