Chapter 52 - An Even Better Blood-staunching Elixir
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The murmurings of the Lin family juniors reached Lin Lan’s ears, angering her so greatly that she turned white.
For the first time, she felt a sense of alienation from this family.
Her own family clan members would rather believe Fourth Elder Lin Tonghong rather than her, just because she was a side relative?
“Lin Lan, if you cannot produce irrefutable evidence today that the formula is your own and not one that you copied from Fourth Elder… you may take your own life,” Patriarch Lin Zhuoyue of the Lin family told Lin Lan with a cold gleam in his eye after hearing what Lin Tonghong had to say.
Hearing the bone-chilling declaration made Lin Lan finally realize that the patriarch of the Lin family was just like the Lin family juniors, believing Lin Tonghong’s nonsense.
Is this kind of family clan really worth being sentimental over?
No… it’s because Patriarch does not know the truth, that’s why he misunderstands me.
It seemed as though there were two different voices arguing in Lin Lan’s head,
Seeing how furious Lin Lan was, Zhou Donghuang’s expression froze, and he stared coldly at Lin Zhuoyue and said in a low voice.
“Patriarch Lin, making such serious declarations before we find out the truth… isn’t that rather inappropriate?”
“The results are already obvious… when Medicine Master Huang arrives, it will just be going through the motions,” Lin Zhuoyue replied dismissively as he gazed indifferently at Zhou Donghuang.
Just then, from the edge of the crowd came a shout, “Second Elder is back!”
“Medicine Master Huang is here!”
The crowd parted to make a path for Second Elder Lin Conghuan to come in, and with him came a plain-looking middle-aged man with a small and thin build. This was the intermediate-level medicine master employed by the Lin family, Huang Qishan.
“Medicine Master Huang.”
At Huang Qishan’s appearance, everyone from Patriarch Lin Zhuoyue to the Lin family juniors greeted him warmly.
“Patriarch, who claims to have formulated the blood-staunching elixir given to you by Fourth Elder?” Huang Qishan asked bluntly as soon as he arrived.
“Him.” Lin Zhuoyue glanced towards Zhou Donghuang.
As soon as Huang Qishan had taken a look at Zhou Donghuang, he gave a start before frowning and shouting angrily, “Absurd!”
“Even I, Huang Qishan, an intermediate-level medicine master, admit that I cannot formulate a blood-staunching elixir of such high quality. You, a kid who looks only sixteen or seventeen years old, would dare claim that you can formulate a blood-staunching elixir of this quality? Are you dreaming?”
Huang Qishan turned to leave with a flick of his sleeves once he had finished speaking.
“A mere intermediate-level medicine master like you is not worthy of debating with me regarding medicine.” Zhou Donghuang spoke up casually just as Huang Qishan turned his back, “Allowing you to compare yourself with me, Zhou Donghuang… even feels like an insult to me.”
“What did you say?!”
When Huang Qishan, who was about to leave, heard what Zhou Donghuang said, he turned around immediately in a rage, staring furiously at Zhou Donghuang.
“That is too much!”
Lin Zhuoyue and the rest of the Lin family leadership stared angrily at Zhou Donghuang, shouting out rebukes in unison.
Faced with condemnation from the Lin family leadership, Zhou Donghuang remained calm and took out from his pocket a piece of paper he had prepared long ago.
“The Lin family should have these herbs. Today, before your eyes, I will formulate a blood-staunching elixir that exceeds the effectiveness of those on the market by fifty percent, and I will enlighten you frogs in the well.”
So saying, Zhou Donghuang tossed the paper in his hand to Huang Qishan who instinctively reached out and caught it.
Huang Qishan glanced instinctively at the herbs listed on the paper and frowned.
“These herbs… eight-tenths of these are the ingredients in Fourth Elder’s blood-staunching elixir.”
“I have said before that the blood-staunching elixir was made with a formula that I made… as for the blood-staunching elixir produced with these herbs, that is the enhanced version of it,” Zhou Donghuang said casually.
The formula for the blood-staunching elixir that he had previously given his mother could only produce a blood-staunching elixir that was forty percent more effective than those on the market.
Now, he intended to formulate a blood-staunching elixir that was fifty percent more effective than those on the market and give the Lin family a resounding slap in the face.
Didn’t they say I was too young to have formulated a blood-staunching elixir that was forty percent more effective than those on the market? Then I will formulate a blood-staunching elixir that is fifty percent more effective than those on the market before your very eyes!
“Ridiculous!”
Fourth Elder Lin Tonghong looked condescendingly at Zhou Donghuang, smiling coldly as he said, “Who in this world cannot boast? You say that you are able to formulate a blood-staunching elixir that is fifty percent more effective than those on the market, and I Lin Tonghong say that I can formulate a qi-gathering elixir that can increase the sensitivity to qi by twenty percent.”
A qi-gathering elixir that could increase the sensitivity to qi by twenty percent could only be formulated by the superior-level medicine master of the Imperial Court of Yunyang country.
Standing beside Lin Tonghong, Lu Qinghu smiled coldly when he heard Lin Tonghong’s words
What was a qi-gathering elixir that could increase the sensitivity to qi by twenty percent? Young Master Donghuang could even formulate a qi-gathering elixir that could increase the sensitivity to qi by forty percent!
“Patriarch, I would like to see how this runt can formulate a blood-staunching elixir that is fifty percent more effective than those on the market.”
Huang Qishan walked towards Lin Zhuoyue and passed the piece of paper he was holding to him.
His meaning was clear—he wanted Lin Zhuoyue to gather the herbs listed on the paper so he could see Zhou Donghuang formulate the blood-staunching elixir.
“Medicine Maser Huang, do you feel this is really necessary?” Lin Zhuoyue asked with a frown.
“Yes!” Huang Qishan replied resolutely. “Today, if he cannot formulate that quality of blood-staunching elixir… he must kowtow in apology to me! This is the first time in my life that I, Huang Qishan, have been insulted in such a manner.” Huang Qishan gave Zhou Donghuang a chilly gaze.
“With Medicine Master Huang’s agreement, I’ll instruct someone to get the herbs.”
Lin Zhuoyue nodded and followed Huang Qishan’s gaze to look at Zhou Donghuang, and smiled coldly as he said, “Today, if Zhou Donghuang cannot formulate the blood-staunching elixir as promised, not only will he have to kowtow to Medicine Master Huang in apology, but also the Lin family will not let him off lightly!”
As he finished speaking, Lin Zhuoyue passed the paper in his hand to Lin Tianzheng.
“Head Elder, please.”
Lin Tianzheng raised his eyebrows as he glanced at the herbs listed on the paper.
“I’ll send the herbs over in a few hours.”
So saying, he left.
“Soon, I would like to see… what fate the adopted son of Lin Lan will suffer!”
“What fate he will suffer? From Patriarch’s words, he’s surely dead!”
“The most he can do is formulate a blood-staunching elixir that is forty percent more effective than those on the market based on the formula his mother stole from Fourth Elder. To formulate one that is fifty percent more effective is a fool’s dream!”
Some of the looks that the Lin family juniors gave Zhou Donghuang were condescending, some were derisive, and some were even expressing delight at his impending doom.
A few hours could be long, but they could also feel short.
To the crowd gathered in the Lin family mansion, it seemed to pass by quickly.
The head elder of the Lin family, Lin Tianzheng, hurried back as soon as he could with the herbs that Zhou Donghuang had requested.
“The herbs are all here… Next, I would like to see how you formulate a blood-staunching elixir fifty percent more effective than those available!”
Lin Tianzheng tossed the bundled herbs to Zhou Donghuang and gave him a chilly look before backing away. And Zhou Donghuang for his part wasted no time; he proceeded immediately to formulate the blood-staunching elixir.
The necessary tools had all been prepared under the instruction of Huang Qishan during the time that Lin Tianzheng had been gathering the herbs.
Under the scrutiny of the crowd, Zhou Donghuang worked quickly, and he worked so naturally that at first glance, he looked like a medicine master with many years of experience formulating elixirs.
“What a show he’s putting on!” Lin Tonghong laughed coldly.
However, Huang Qishan’s expression had suddenly turned serious.
It is said that the layman enjoyed the show, while professionals appreciated the craft. Huang Qishan realized that Zhou Donghuang’s speed and efficiency were far superior to his.
“With such speed… the elixir will probably be ready in an hour at most?” Huang Qishan whispered.
Of course, such thoughts did not mean Huang Qishan believed Zhou Donghuang could formulate a blood-staunching elixir fifty percent more effective than those available.
A blood-staunching elixir of such effectiveness was not something that an intermediate-level medicine master had the ability to formulate.
An hour later, just as Huang Qishan had thought, Zhou Donghuang stopped working, having formulated three bottles of blood-staunching elixir.
Of the three bottles of blood-staunching elixir, Zhou Donghuang kept one and gave one of the remaining two bottles to Huang Qishan and the other to Lin Zhuoyue.
“Try it,” Zhou Donghuang said casually.
Huang Qishan eagerly slit his palm and poured the contents of the bottle over it.
However, Lin Zhuoyue did not even bother trying it because he felt it was completely unnecessary.
The gaze of the crowd gradually focused on Huang Qishan as they waited for him to declare the result…
Although the Lin family members present all felt that Zhou Donghuang would not be able to formulate a blood-staunching elixir of that quality, they still wanted to hear Huang Qishan announce the results personally.
Hmm?
However, they were soon left dumbfounded.
As they watched, Huang Qishan began to tremble, and his eyes lit up as he stared at the wound on his palm.
“This… could it be…?”
Seeing Huang Qishan lose his composure, the crowd of Lin family members felt a mounting sense of disbelief.
“Impossible!”
Lin Tonghong’s expression changed completely.
“Medicine Master Huang, what is the result?”
At that moment, even Lin Zhuoyue, the patriarch of the Lin family, could no longer bear the suspense.
“The effectiveness of this blood-staunching elixir… is indeed fifty percent more than those available on the market!” Huang Qishan said in a voice full of emotion.
While Lin Zhuoyue and the other Lin family members were still stunned in disbelief, Huang Qishan looked back at Zhou Donghuang and bowed low with a serious expression.
“Regardless of whether this blood-staunching elixir was formulated personally by you or the formula was obtained elsewhere, in the matter of formulating blood-staunching elixirs, I, Huang Qishan, bow to your superiority.”
