Chapter 838: Is This an Immortal Pill?

"Huaxia has a heritage of five thousand years; as far back as the ancient era, Qi Refiners used the Extraction Pill Technique to draw upon the spiritual power of heaven and earth to refine pills. Furthermore, pills are divided by grade, and those that can become Immortal pills are top-tier pills." Chen Yu said, "Don't just bring up science at every turn; how many years has science even existed?"

The Yisheng was left speechless and livid by Chen Yu, unable to say a single word. He watched as Chen Yu took out a bowl of water and dissolved one of the pills into it.

After one Miyuan Pill was dissolved into a bowl of clear water, it turned golden yellow, and the medicinal fragrance became even stronger.

Considering that Zhou Lao's physical condition was extremely poor and he likely could not withstand the medicinal power within a Miyuan Pill, Chen Yu dissolved the medicine.

"Have Zhou Lao take this." Chen Yu said, "I can't guarantee it will be effective, but I have a sixty percent certainty that it should work."

"Alright." Zhou Xinyan had unconditional trust in Chen Yu and took the water. Zhou Ming and the others nearby hurriedly helped Zhou Lao up, and Zhou Xinyan fed the bowl of water to Zhou Lao.

The Yisheng on the side revealed a look of disdain. He was a top expert at the hospital and had heard that the Zhou Family was going to bring in a master to treat Zhou Lao.

Originally, he had some expectations and wanted to see who this so-called master of the Zhou Family was, but he had not expected it to be a charlatan.

However, the Yisheng did not speak; after all, this was the Zhou Family's own choice, and if something really went wrong, it had nothing to do with him.

The bowl of water was consumed by Zhou Lao, and a moment later, the monitoring equipment on Zhou Lao's body began to change.

One could see that the previously weak heart rate was gradually accelerating, and the blood pressure, which had been dangerously low, also came back up.

"How is this possible?" That Yisheng stared wide-eyed at the scene before him; he simply could not believe his own eyes.

As his vital signs returned to normal, Zhou Lao on the hospital bed slowly opened his eyes.

"Grandfather, Dad."

A group of people hurriedly stepped forward to check on Zhou Lao's condition.

"Don't be nervous, I feel much better." Zhou Lao's spirit was clearly much improved: "Zhou Ming, you brat, just you wait. You almost cost me my life; see if I don't get up and beat you once I've recovered."

"Grandfather, hurry up and get up to beat me; I'll take it." Zhou Ming cried and laughed at the same time; now that the old man actually had the strength to hit him, it was actually a good thing.

"Little Chen, thank you. My old life was saved by you." Zhou Lao said, actually sitting up from the bed.

"Dad, don't get up, just lie down; your body hasn't recovered yet." Zhou Xinyan's father said hurriedly.

"It's fine, Zhou Lao's energy has recovered, it's just that the Yanhuang No. 2 he took was too potent, so he needs to rest for a while," Chen Yu said.

"Keep these two pills. In three days, dissolve the second one in water, and Zhou Lao will return to how he was before taking Yanhuang. However, his body has been injured too severely, so three days after taking the second one, take the third."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. Our Zhou Family will remember this favor." Zhou Xinyan's father said to Chen Yu with a cupped-fist salute.

"Mr. Zhou, no need for formalities. Zhou Lao has made so many contributions in his life; saving him is only right. It's just that Yanhuang needs to be investigated thoroughly," Chen Yu said.

"I have already sent people to investigate. The new product launch they originally planned for the day after tomorrow has already been postponed." Father Zhou said coldly: "Although there is no evidence yet, they will show their true colors sooner or later."

"Is Zhou Lao alright now?" After Chen Yu went outside, people who had come upon hearing the news asked.

"Thank you all, my father is already fine." Zhou Xinyan's father, Zhou Yan, said.

Zhou Yan was the head of the General Bureau; naturally, there was no shortage of sycophants around him. Most of these people were corporate executives, and as soon as they heard that Zhou Lao had an accident, they rushed over eagerly.

However, the matter had been resolved, and Zhou Xinyan drove the police car to take Chen Yu back.

"Can you change cars next time?" Chen Yu said with a wry smile.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Xinyan asked in surprise.

"I always feel that riding in your car is unlucky." Chen Yu smiled bitterly; since meeting Zhou Xinyan, he had ridden in her car quite a few times.

This always made Chen Yu feel a bit uneasy; after all, this car was not something an ordinary person could just ride in whenever they pleased.

Just at this moment, Zhou Xinyan received a phone call. She spoke a few words, and her expression changed drastically: "Chen Yu, something happened to Jingjing."

Chen Yu's expression changed. Jingjing was that high school girl who had been tricked into the club by Chen Shaochong, Wang Yu, and the others. When he left last time, Chen Yu felt that Jingjing had a baleful aura and might face a calamity, so he had asked Zhou Xinyan to keep an eye on her.

But he had not expected her calamity to come so quickly.

Jingjing was dead. The conclusion given by the police was that she died of sudden cardiac death. Now she was being kept in the funeral home, and Jingjing's mother and younger brother were crying their hearts out.

Jingjing was from a single-parent family, and her mother had no other relatives around; only she and her son were there guarding the daughter's body.

"Auntie, please don't be sad, please accept my condolences." Zhou Xinyan sighed. Honestly, she didn't know how to comfort Jingjing's mother; after all, her daughter had died, and as a mother, she must be very heartbroken.

"Officer Zhou, Mr. Chen, thank you for coming to see her, thank you." Mother Zhou cried: "Jingjing, her life was not good, her life was really not good."

"What exactly happened?" Chen Yu asked.

"Jingjing had a heart condition before she was eight, but it hadn't flared up since she got older. But who would have thought it would flare up again this time? It happened at school; when her roommates saw her, she was already gone." Mother Zhou cried: "Why is my life so bitter?"

"Heart condition?" Chen Yu's brow locked. He had only met Jingjing once, but with his abilities, if Jingjing had a heart condition, he would have known immediately.

She was a very healthy person, and her body even lacked any hidden ailments; how could she have a heart condition?

"My sister didn't die of sudden cardiac death." Jingjing's younger brother, Zhou Shen, suddenly spoke up. He said with an agitated expression: "Comrade Police, you must investigate clearly. My sister didn't die of sudden cardiac death; she was murdered by someone."

"Zhou Shen, what are you saying? Shut up." Mother Zhou seemed startled and hurriedly scolded her son.

Zhou Shen lowered his head and said nothing. He was still a middle school student, but from his eyes, Chen Yu saw a trace of defiance.

"Can I go see her? We were acquaintances; I'd like to take one last look at her." Chen Yu sighed slightly and said.

"Mr. Chen, please feel free. Mr. Chen, you are a good person; she kept saying that a few days before the accident." Mother Zhou wiped her tears and nodded.

Chen Yu walked forward to the crystal coffin where the body was laid out. Looking at Jingjing in the coffin, his expression was somewhat regretful.

Jingjing was a pretty good girl; she went to the club just to earn money to lighten her mother's burden, but he hadn't expected her to suffer such a calamity.

Jingjing's face in the crystal coffin was calm, her eyes closed, as if she were just asleep. But Chen Yu's brow locked, and he suddenly let out a soft "Eh?"

"What is it, Chen Yu?" Zhou Xinyan asked from the side.

Chen Yu did not speak. His brow furrowed slightly, then he closed his eyes. A moment later, he opened them, and a blue light flashed through his eyes.

Jingjing was not dead; she was currently in a state of lost soul. That is to say, her Three Souls and Seven Spirits had been detained by someone, which was why her body had entered a dormant state.
