Chapter 55 Reckless Mischief

Not interested in money?

Nan Zi’an was astonished.

In all his decades, he had never heard anyone say they weren't interested in money.

It was truly an eye-opener.

As Chu Fan was unresponsive, Nan Zi’an was at a loss on how to persuade him into cooperation.

After a moment of silence, he calmed himself and persuaded.

“Xiao Fan, with your extraordinary medical skills, wouldn’t it be a waste not to use them?”

“If you develop, your aunt will also be happy to see it.”

“You don’t know, your aunt…”

“Uncle!”

Chu Fan directly interrupted Nan Zi’an, “I told you, I’m not interested in these things!”

“I study medicine not to make money, and certainly not for fame!”

“We’ll talk about this later!”

Chu Fan truly did not wish to discuss anything further with Nan Zi’an.

Were it not for his aunt, he wouldn’t even have opened his door, let alone stood here to discuss cooperation.

Seeing Chu Fan’s resolute attitude, Nan Zi’an could only nod, suppressing his urgency.

“Xiao Fan, if you want to develop in this direction someday, remember to find me!”

Chu Fan grunted in response.

Nan Zi’an knew the state of their relationship well, so he didn’t inquire further. With a greeting, he left.

Just as Chu Fan was about to resume his quiet cultivation, he suddenly remembered something.

Previous investigations indicated that Yu Xue Pharmaceutical had struggled to develop mainly due to a lack of flagship drugs.

Although they now had investment from Qing Long Consortium, this method was merely treating the symptoms, not the root cause.

Giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching him to fish.

For Yu Xue Pharmaceutical to firmly establish itself in Shanhai City, it needed its own flagship drugs to grow and prosper.

Chu Fan also knew that his aunt had always dreamed of developing medicines that benefited the common people.

Within the Eternal Hall, there existed many ancient medicinal formulas long lost to the outside world.

For this reason, he immediately fetched paper and pen, wrote down the formula for the Blood-Breaking Pill, and prepared to give it to his aunt for research.

With the Blood-Breaking Pill as support, there would be no difficulty for Yu Xue Pharmaceutical to develop thoroughly.

After finishing the prescription, Chu Fan left his room.

Unable to find his aunt anywhere in the room, he went outside. At the entrance, he encountered a sullen Nan Baixuan.

“Hmph!”

Upon seeing Chu Fan, Nan Baixuan’s anger flared.

“Where is your mom?”

Nan Baixuan’s pretty face hardened, “Why should I tell you?”

“You lunatic, I’m telling you, don’t think you’re so great just because you know some medicine and saved my grandfather.”

“Unless you answer my question, get lost!”

Chu Fan, seeing her as just a child, didn’t bother to argue.

Thinking that his aunt might be taking a stroll in Wanshu Mountain, he prepared to search for her.

Jingle bell…

The phone suddenly rang.

It was Ji Ningyue calling.

Thinking she might have new leads, Chu Fan handed the ancient medicinal formula to Nan Baixuan.

“Take this prescription to your mother and ask her to find a way to research and develop this medicine.”

Nan Baixuan reluctantly took the prescription, and Chu Fan moved aside to answer the phone.

Curiosity is inherent in everyone.

Nan Baixuan opened the paper in her hand and saw many medicinal names she had never heard of.

She looked up at Chu Fan, who was walking away, and angrily said, “Who do you think you are, ordering me around?”

“I refuse to!”

Willfulness always leads to trouble.

Because she was unhappy with Chu Fan, Nan Baixuan casually tossed the priceless ancient prescription into a nearby flower bush.

Unbeknownst to her, this action would lead to a great loss for the Nan family.

Not long after Nan Baixuan left, a middle-aged man in a Tang suit and a young man walked over slowly.

Glancing at the ancient prescription in the flower bush, the middle-aged man, Ouyang Qingbai, frowned.

“When did Wanshu Mountain acquire such an ill-mannered person?”

“The trash can is right there, and yet they still throw trash into the flower bush?”

As Ouyang Qingbai spoke, he reached out and picked up the paper from the flower bush, intending to throw it into the trash can some ten meters away.

“Hmm?”

As he was about to discard the paper, he suddenly caught sight of some of the writing on it.

As he had a deep appreciation for calligraphy, Chu Fan’s writing, filled with sharp momentum, made his heart tremble at the first glance.

With just a glimpse, it felt as if a sharp blade was aimed directly at him, causing his pores to contract instinctively.

Having read countless characters.

Possessing the title of Shanhai’s calligraphy master.

Ouyang Qingbai had never seen such unique writing before.

Driven by curiosity, he slowly unfolded the paper.

The flowing script, each character carrying a strong, overbearing pressure.

Whoosh…

Ouyang Qingbai suddenly felt as if his surroundings had turned dark.

The characters on the paper were like unsheathed swords, piercing his mind.

Thump.

The imposing aura carried by the characters struck Ouyang Qingbai, causing him to collapse onto the ground.

“Dad!”

The young man, Ouyang Wushuang, exclaimed and quickly bent down to help Ouyang Qingbai.

“Such powerful characters!”

“So impressive!”

“When did Shanhai City produce such a formidable calligraphy master?”

Ouyang Qingbai gradually recovered, not daring to focus his attention on the words on the paper.

Ouyang Wushuang, not being well-versed in calligraphy, was curious about what kind of writing could make his father, a calligraphy master, behave so out of character.

He looked with curiosity.

“Hmm?”

As he had no research in calligraphy, Ouyang Wushuang could not perceive the hidden overbearing momentum within the characters.

However, as a member of a pharmaceutical family, he was very knowledgeable about medicines.

“Dad, this looks like a prescription!”

What?

Ouyang Qingbai shook his head vigorously, dispelling the oppressive impact of the characters, and carefully examined the various medicines recorded on the paper.

Upon reaching the end, Ouyang Qingbai trembled uncontrollably with excitement.

“Wushuang, I, we seem to have struck gold!”

“This, this is indeed a pill formula.”

“Blood-Breaking Pill?”

“Why does it feel so familiar? Where have I heard of it before?”

At this moment, Ouyang Qingbai was certain that the single prescription recorded on this ordinary piece of paper was extraordinary.

He believed that many of the medicines on it had been extinct for years.

“Dad, are you sure this is the Blood-Breaking Pill?”

Ouyang Wushuang, who had read extensively, thought of something. His handsome face flushed with excitement, and he tightly gripped Ouyang Qingbai’s arm.

“Yes, it’s the Blood-Breaking Pill. Didn’t you see it written there?”

Ouyang Wushuang swallowed with difficulty, his voice trembling, “Dad, do you remember the Medical God’s Compendium that was burned in our house?”

“The Blood-Breaking Pill, wasn’t it developed by the Medical God himself, rumored to cure all diseases and prolong life?”

Ouyang Qingbai suddenly realized with joy.

“Yes, the Blood-Breaking Pill is indeed a precious pill created by the Medical God.”

“This, is this really the formula for the Blood-Breaking Pill?”

The father and son trembled all over with excitement.

They knew very well how much help this formula, if genuine, would bring to their family.

“Yes, it must be!”

“The medicines listed here were only available when the Medical God was alive; they are extinct now!”

Ouyang Wushuang’s eyes blazed with fervor, his expression agitated.

“Hahaha…”

Ouyang Qingbai burst into laughter.

“No wonder my left eyelid has been twitching incessantly these past few days. It seems heaven is helping the Ouyang family by letting me find the Medical God’s formula here.”

“With this formula, what difficulty would there be in becoming the number one in Shanhai’s pharmaceutical industry?”

“Heaven’s favor, heaven’s favor!”

Overwhelmed with excitement, Ouyang Qingbai immediately knelt down, cupped the formula in his hands, and bowed towards the East, thanking heaven for sending the formula.
