Long Xiao returned to his car, changed his clothes, and threw the ones he had just worn into the trash can.
He didn't want Lin Xuan to know about his situation, fearing she would worry or get angry.
Long Xiao drove back to Xinglin Caotang. The residents there had already eaten, so Luo Yan had to cook him a bowl of instant noodles.
Long Xiao returned to Mangshan No. 1 Villa very late. Lin Xuan was sitting in the living room watching television.
Seeing Long Xiao return, Lin Xuan began to vividly recount the events that had occurred in front of the restaurant after Long Xiao had left.
"Long Xiao, the heavenly physician Long Xiaotian is truly amazing. He knocked that zombie still in one palm."
"Is that so?" Long Xiao smiled and said, "I learned a lot from the old man. Do you believe me now?"
Lin Xuan glared at Long Xiao and said, "What does Long Xiaotian's prowess have to do with you learning a lot from the old man?"
"He's powerful, so he can teach me. If he weren't powerful, what could he teach me?"
Lin Xuan thought about it and nodded, saying, "You have a point, but I just feel something is not quite right."
Long Xiao quickly changed the subject, "Nothing is wrong. Let's not talk about this. I have something to discuss with you."
"What is it? You're being so mysterious," Lin Xuan asked.
Long Xiao told Lin Xuan that someone had ordered external wound medicine from him, ten thousand boxes per month.
"Only ten thousand boxes of medicine, what are you so happy about?" Lin Xuan said with dissatisfaction.
Long Xiao took out his phone and said, "I'll transfer the payment for the first month to you first."
When Lin Xuan received the ten million transfer, she was flustered and asked, "Long Xiao, what kind of medicine is this? Ten thousand boxes of medicine for so much money. Is the cost very high?"
Long Xiao shook his head and said, "In mass production, the cost of raw materials per box is about thirty to forty yuan. Adding labor, utilities, and other expenses, it should not exceed one hundred yuan."
"Medicine that costs a hundred yuan to produce, and you're charging ten million? Are you robbing them?" Lin Xuan exclaimed in surprise.
Long Xiao chuckled and said, "This is much easier than robbing. We need money anyway. If someone is willing to pay more, we shouldn't refuse, right?"
Long Xiao wrote out the prescription and gave it to Lin Xuan. He wouldn't have to worry about making the medicine anymore. After writing the prescription, he instructed Lin Xuan that the outer packaging of the medicine should be simple when it leaves the factory, just the words "Special Supply" should be written, and nothing else.
"Long Xiao, are you not planning to sell this medicine on the market?" Lin Xuan asked.
Long Xiao shook his head and said, "To make more money, of course, we have to sell it, but I don't plan to sell it publicly on the market."
"How do you plan to sell it if not publicly?" Lin Xuan asked, confused.
"You don't need to worry about that. You just need to produce it, the more the better. Find a warehouse to store it first. In the future, this medicine will be in short supply, and I will raise the price."
"A thousand yuan per box, and you're going to raise the price?" Lin Xuan asked curiously.
Long Xiao nodded and said, "Of course, the price will be raised. We should make as much money as possible."
Lin Xuan was very aware of Xinglin Caotang's registration rules. She knew that Long Xiao was not someone who would make any money. For poor patients, Long Xiao charged very little, or even nothing.
Lin Xuan wanted to ask Long Xiao how he planned to sell the medicine, but Long Xiao was too mysterious and refused to tell her.
Lin Xuan pouted and said, "If you don't want to say, fine. I'm going to sleep."
Seeing Lin Xuan stand up to leave, Long Xiao opened his arms and said, "Wife, a hug. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep."
Lin Xuan glared at Long Xiao and said, "If you can't sleep, stay awake. I'm still..."
Long Xiao hugged Lin Xuan from behind. As Lin Xuan turned her head, Long Xiao kissed her.
Lin Xuan struggled a few times but couldn't break free. She then began to actively respond to Long Xiao. A minute later, they separated. Lin Xuan, blushing, tidied her clothes and hurried upstairs.
When Lin Xuan returned home, Lin Wei had also returned home. He went to his meditation room and closed the door. He took out the box containing the Scarlet Flame Worm from his pocket.
As soon as he opened the box, the Scarlet Flame Worm flapped its wings and flew up. The Scarlet Flame Worm flew very fast, circling happily in the room for a while before landing on the desk.
Lin Wei sat in the chair in front of the desk and began to carefully observe the Scarlet Flame Worm. The worm was crimson all over, its two small eyes full of spirit. When it flew, it looked like a stream of flames.
Seeing Lin Wei observing it, the Scarlet Flame Worm also stared at Lin Wei. After looking at each other for less than a minute, a book next to the Scarlet Flame Worm suddenly burst into flames and burned rapidly.
Lin Wei wanted to catch the Scarlet Flame Worm and put it back in the box. As soon as he reached out, he felt a wave of heat and quickly retracted his hand.
Placing the box on the table, Lin Wei said in a low, pleading voice, "Please, Scarlet Flame Worm, go back into the box, or there will be a fire."
The Scarlet Flame Worm seemed to understand Lin Wei's words, nodded, and flew back into the box. The lid of the box automatically closed, covering it.
'Scarlet Flame Worm Amber' had turned into a Scarlet Flame Worm. After much deliberation, Lin Wei decided to take the Scarlet Flame Worm to see Long Xiao.
'Scarlet Flame Worm Amber' was brought by Long Xiao. To understand the origin of this Scarlet Flame Worm, he had to start with Long Xiao.
The next morning, as soon as Long Xiao finished his morning exercises, Lin Wei arrived.
After moving, Long Xiao chose to practice in Mangshan in the morning. There was no one in the mountains, so he could practice whatever he wanted without attracting attention.
"Long Xiao, where is Long Xiao?" Lin Wei shouted loudly as he entered the living room.
The Long family members heard Lin Wei's voice and hurriedly gathered in the living room.
"Dad, when did you get here? Why didn't you notify us so we could prepare?" Nangong Yue said with a smile.
Although Nangong Yue was overbearing and domineering, her father-in-law treated her very well. Therefore, whenever Lin Wei was present, she acted like an obedient little daughter-in-law.
"No need to prepare. I'm here to see Long Xiao about something," Lin Wei said as he sat on the sofa and placed the box in his hand on the coffee table.
Long Xiao pushed the door open and walked into the living room. Seeing Lin Wei, he said hurriedly, "Grandpa, when did you get here? If you had something to say, I would have come over."
Lin Wei pushed the box and said, "Long Xiao, look. The 'Scarlet Flame Worm Amber' you gave me has turned into a worm."
Long Xiao already knew about this. He was also very curious about the Scarlet Flame Worm. The "Dragon Scripture" recorded that Scarlet Flame Worms were very powerful. When they grew up, they could rival ancient mythical beasts, and a flap of their wings could cause a fire.
Just as Long Xiao was about to reach out to open the box, the box suddenly opened on its own. The Scarlet Flame Worm flapped its wings and flew directly to Long Xiao's neck, burrowing into his clothes.
Seeing this, Lin Wei became anxious and rushed towards Long Xiao, intending to help him catch the Scarlet Flame Worm.
Long Xiao was also in a panic, fumbling on his body for the Scarlet Flame Worm.
"Long Xiao, quickly take off your clothes. It's too late, and you'll be burned by it," Lin Wei shouted loudly, unable to catch the Scarlet Flame Worm.
Long Xiao glanced at Nangong Yue. With his mother-in-law present, Long Xiao felt too embarrassed to take off his clothes.
"Grandpa, don't take off your clothes. It will come out soon."
"Take it off quickly, or your clothes will catch fire."
Long Xiao didn't feel hot and asked strangely, "How is that possible? I don't feel like it's going to catch fire."
As they were talking, the Scarlet Flame Worm crawled onto Long Xiao's head and chirped a few times at Lin Wei, seemingly protesting.
Lin Wei hurriedly clasped his hands together and said, "Please, Scarlet Flame Worm, come down quickly. Don't set my grandson-in-law's hair on fire."
The Scarlet Flame Worm suddenly burrowed back into Long Xiao's clothes. This time, only a small head emerged from the collar, looking at Lin Wei and chirping discontentedly a few more times.
