Chapter 1745 — Greed
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
After a spell of careful deliberation, You Zhentian slowly nodded and raised his head. "Not bad. This formula was likely developed on the foundation of the Foundation-Establishing Pill. Though I cannot say how it compares to the legendary Marrow-Washing Bone-Cleansing Pill, its effects should be far stronger than the Foundation-Establishing Pill."
"So you mean to say the formula is genuine?" You Zhentian was instantly overjoyed.
"It appears not to be false, but it must still be examined by the people of the Mystic Pill Sect. Once they have confirmed it, there will be no problem..." You Taishan gazed at the formula with a mix of delight and pain. "Though the formula appears genuine enough, the ingredients within it are exceedingly precious. The cost of refining this Life-Extending Detox Pill will not be low—many of the herbs are priceless and scarcely produced even over a year."
"That hardly matters. The Mystic Pill Sect has its own herb gardens after all," You Zhentian said. "Then I shall go contact the Mystic Pill Sect's envoy and hand this formula over for their examination. If it is genuine, our Hidden Right Family will have rendered a great service this time, and our standing within the Mystic Pill Sect will rise."
"Haha, if it is genuine, then do not stint the Kang family. This Kang family is quite good!" You Taishan was well satisfied with the Kang family's efficiency. He had regarded this cooperation with a take-it-or-leave-it attitude before, never expecting an unexpected harvest.
"Yes, Father!" You Zhentian nodded and went off to contact the Mystic Pill Sect's envoy.
Before long, word came back from the Mystic Pill Sect: the formula was genuine, though the refining conditions were somewhat harsh. But that was no problem now—so long as the formula was real, that was enough. How to refine it could be dealt with later.
The Mystic Pill Sect sent its reply to the Hidden Right Family, and You Zhentian naturally lost no time in writing back to Kang Jingming.
"Zhaoming, you junior are truly something, a man with a future! This matter has gone so smoothly—you have rendered great service!" Now that You Zhentian knew the formula's authenticity, he did not stint his words of praise for Kang Jingming.
"Oh? Young Master You, then you mean... that formula is genuine?" Kang Jingming was overjoyed at You Zhentian's words and asked.
"Yes, it is genuine!" You Zhentian said. "But this is no prescription—it is a pill formula, and I expect your Kang family cannot refine it. Once we have, all sales in the secular world will go to your Kang family. We will not let you contribute for nothing; our Hidden Right Family knows how to repay kindness and settle scores."
"Wonderful, then many thanks, Young Master You!" Kang Jingming was beside himself with joy at You Zhentian's promise. "By the way, Young Master You, I was thinking of asking Guan Xuewen for a few more prescriptions—could the You Thirteen experts lend me a hand?"
"No problem, they are at your disposal!" You Zhentian waved his hand and said indifferently.
This time, the Hidden Right Family also received commendation and awards from the Mystic Pill Sect, and the rewards were most generous, so You Zhentian was naturally not stingy with Kang Jingming, the man of merit.
"Then I truly thank you, Young Master You!" Kang Jingming hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
Guan Xuewen's earlier readiness had stirred other thoughts in Kang Jingming. Sometimes, once a man's greed rises, nothing can stop it—and Kang Jingming was just such a man! Seeing how easily the formula of the Life-Extending Detox Pill had come into his hands, he now wanted the other two formulas of Guan the Doctor's Pharmaceuticals as well!
